How does this movie express Hindu goals of life?
hint: The goals of life in Hinduism are: Karma(action), Dharma(Sacred duty,obligation), Brahma(creation), moksha(total liberation)

This movie is one of the most 'spiritual', if ever there was one, although it may not come across as such to someone who is not so spiritually inclined.
It demonstrates, in a simple way, the principles of Karma and Reincarnation, and that a Soul may not get to the abode of God until the Soul had got it right. I am sure the movie expresses the Hindu goals of life, and more. Maybe that is why it became a reference point for subsequent similar movies.
I recommend it as a tool for illustrating the spiritual principles any day.

Groundhog Day is a very deep movie. People of different religions all seem to find something in the movie that is in sync with their faith. I've read stuff arguing that Groundhog Day is a Buddhist allegory, that it is an allegory of the Jewish concept of mikvah, and that it is a Christian allegory about sanctification and resurrection. I'm Catholic and I think there are definitely Catholic themes in the movie. You could also argue it has Nietzschean elements too. So it's no stretch to see Hindu themes in it as well.
For what it's worth, Harold Ramis, who wrote and directed Groundhog Day, is from a Jewish background, but rather agnostic with some interest in Buddhism.
Best movie ever IMO

It is a movie that is suppose to be a comedy. Don't take it so literally.

I thought it was based on 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'.
