Why That Movie Scene? | Rangan Baradwaj | TEDxIIMShillong

It is a completely different perspective to view a scene. Very Nice!

[@victordaas]

Sick audience literally. BR deserves a better audience man!

[@SatishKumar-hq2ut]

Problem: why so much cough; solution1: take the audience to hospital; solution 2: BR to launch an exclusive platform and explain such gems; solution 3: to be provided by BR

3:55 Most people are of the second kind. The general audience. Especially in the middle of the experience. Unless the scene is confusing, no one is engaging their mind to "think". We are just absorbing what is shown and reacting. Not analysing. Maybe after the movie is over.

Are all the people in the audience very sick? What's up with the non stop coughing throughout the video ? Can't listen to BR talking. Am glad I wasn't wearing my headphones for this.

Props to the editor to try and drown the sound of cough by increasing the volume of baddy's voice.

[@techmac2010]

Wow so much coughing!!! Ffs go out and cough!!

[@divagarans5846]

BR talking cinema to unenthusiastic audience feels like people talking rationalism and secularism in India...
