Investment lessons from DHURANDHAR Movies.

 

Dear Fellow Investors,

 

Jai Hind! Today we will deal with the DHURANDAHAR movie purely from investment perspective. The lessons are really important from WEALTH CREATION point of view. Read them / Re-read them and apply. You will bless me. 

 

1.  Keep your Eyes open and have Tons of Patience: - 

 

This is the simple strategy followed from 2002 to 2014 before any meaningful results could be seen. When they got the proofs of Indian Currency notes being printed in Pakistan – they also knew the MINISTER and SON who were involved in the same – but they didn’t take action as they knew that nothing much will be achieved. They kept on collecting the proofs and keep preparing their people and sending them to Pakistan. Their preparation for 10 plus years started giving results only after 2014 when the favourable governemtn came to the power. 

 

The strategy made good success in the last 5 years. Many unknown men killed the terrorist who had harmed India in the past. If you see the movie – SANYAL sir meets the HAMZA in DUBAI and tells him that now he is on his own and he can do whatever he thinks the fit. Hamza waited for 15 years for this command!! 

 

In my 35 years journey with Individual investors – be it HNI or NORMAL – they start getting panicked if their shares do not perform in one year or two. They do not focus on business but they just focus on PRICE. Had the SANYAL sir also focused on the immediate results – he would not have been able to create a strong DEFENCE system for India. 

 

I repeat the lesson – once you have chosen the good company for investments – keep patience / patience and patience. If the business fundamentals – performance  and  management are  good – price will surely move up. 

 

COLGATE price was stuck around Rs.200 during late nineties for long years. People were selling it and shifting to IT stocks. One fine day the re-rating happened and the stock moved to Rs.1000-1200 in a month. Check the history. Now, those who do not keep PATIENCE don’t make money. 

 

As Sanyal sir said – APNA TIME BHI AYEGA. Wait for the time. 

 

2.  Extremely detailed planning and preparations: -

 

Once they decided that out of the 3 options only DHRANDHAR option is good – SANYAL sir started looking for the RIGHT persons for the purpose. 

 

He took lot of efforts to find out the persons – Train them meticulously before sending them on MISSION. He started this mission in 2002. Sent the first person in 2009!! 

 

Reliance took the MOBILE licence in 2011 and launched the services in 2017. 

 

Reliance GREEN Energy started in 2022. They will start selling in 2029!! 

 

Rakesh started buying TITAN at Rs.40 and kept on adding till Rs.900. Do you thing the stock was moving one side up?

 

Most normal investors have no VISION for what they really want out of their investments. They want to MAKE MONEY but WHY do they want to make money – they don’t have those answers. So, when they get the idea – they just buy. 

 

Big money requires big pain and tons of patience. Most normal guys lacks the same. 

 

In CHAT GPT times – they give PROMPT to the system and based on the PROMPT they get the answers. Now, when your prompt is wrong – all the answers are going to be wrong. 

 

3.  Single minded Commitment to the COUNTRY:- 

 

In the movie - Sanyal Sir had single minded commitment towards India. He was ready to die for the same. He didn’t have different thoughts as per the change in the situations. The DHURANDHAR plan started in VAJPAI government then 2 terms of CONGRESS came and he couldn't do what he wanted to do but he kept working behind the curtains. 

 

The normal investors are not at all committed. They are full of GREED and FEAR. One day they have GREED – they will buy. Other day they will have FEAR – they will sell. Wealth creation doesn’t happen this way. You have to stick to your stocks as told above. 

 

During IT BOOM – Buffet didn’t touch Y2K stocks and his portfolio underperformed during those years. Wall-street was full of talks that Buffet has lost his MIDAS touch in investing. But they all proved wrong when the IT stocks fell in early 2000. 

During 2004-2008 teji – Rakesh didn’t pick up Infra stocks which multiplied many fold. He was also criticised for not picking those stocks. But he stick to his strategy. Today Rakesh family has Rs.60000 Cr investment portfolio. You need to be committed in whatever you are doing. No greed and no fear. Only strategy. 

 

They make mistakes because 90% of the people are not able to differentiate between SITUATIONS and DESTINY. 

 

Your current situations may or may not be good. But that is just situation. You don’t have to be down because of the same. You have a power to make new decisions to change your situations. Sanyal Sir did the same. His ego was hurt by the comment of plane high-jacker – “If you have balls, show it to us”. He created the DHURANDHAR to reply to that high-jacker. It took 23 years  to kill him – but he did it. 

 

When you don’t work on your situations – then they become your  DESTINY.

 

4.   GHAYAL HO to GHATAK HO: - 

 

Sanyal was HURT. HAMZA was HURT. They both had a personal pain and to solve their personal pains they helped the country. 

 

We have a story of DHROOV in SHRIMAD BHAGWAT JI. He wanted to sit in the lap of his father but his step mother denied that and he went to do the penance. Today we have a star named after DHROOV. We don’t remember the name of his brother today but DRHOOV is immortal. 

 

The point is BIG PAIN  / BIG HURT / BIG LOSS is a must to make big success in any field. So, if you have suffered big pain or losses – it means you have achieved the first half. Now learn from your mistakes / make new decisions and work with patience towards your new goals. 

 

What NEXT? 

 

If you feel challenged by your situations and you want to deal with them HOLISTICALLY – you can take our inputs. 

 

My experience says – those who have followed me with single minded commitments towards their goals – they have got their results and more.
