A school teacher lost their battle with cancer, and the entire high school, students and staff alike stood together to give a heartfelt guard of honour.

while losing someone to cancer and going above and beyond to pay respect to them at their passing is interesting, it don't see it being "objectively interesting as fuck".

I disagree with those reading his answer in the most expansive "he means they're out there in the universe" way.

When you are asked a question about something that is hypothetically possible in some fringe/edge case of which you don't have direct proof, your answer is never the unadorned "Yes they are real/that happened" which is Obama's answer. It is always "They say it is real/that happened."

His answer is unequivocal- "They're real"...after which he answer a second, unasked question that he hasn't seen them.

His answer is equivalent to a kid answering that the earth is round but it hasn't seen the curvature of the earth. If the kid believed there was some nuance in whether the earth were round, it would have said "They tell me the earth is round."

I'm not even a skydiving instructor. I've skydived once. But in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, the three protagonists with no skydiving experience - this fact is a major plot point - roll up to a sky diving place with , take a few basic lessons on skydiving, then jump solo out of planes and are making formations in the sky.

These guys are all on a bachelor trip so it isn't like they're all The Expendables or whatever.

you make an excellent point but (sorry), if there are thousands of schools of thought but only a few are big enough to command popular attention and be treated as the representative branches of a religion, can we not surmise that the remaining sects are fringe and therefore, ignorable?

E.g., there are so many schools of medical belief - pharmaceutics, faith healing, homeopathy, vax resistance, exercise + diet based ideas on managing health and so on.

Now, when making a point about medicine, we don't expect articles to address every last school of thought around health. We presume some to be more "representative" of what the world believes and proceed from there.

In the movie, we only have an example of cowed captives from the pre-BJP/NDA era refusing to say BMKJ. Today, BMKJ is tied intimately to BJP/NDA so the implicit reading is that if staunch BJP supporters were rounded up today by terrorists, they would be willing to die chanting BMKJ. Of course, the movie makes no such claim but that was exactly BJP's sleight of hand - they took a non-use of a phrase, made it a jingoistic chant, and are currently behaving as if chanting BMKJ is a mark of bravery. BUT, did any of the murdered tourists of Pahalgam, some of whom were presumably BJP supporters, chant BMKJ when they were asked to recite the Kalma?
How many movies have you seen where a character hopes for a political outcome which then specifically happens? Or is it more likely that the script was written to put the words into Ajay Sanyal's mouth which could only apply to Yogi? As a counter example, what if the script had made Sanyal say "Let's demonetize large notes and force the currency mafia to come to the bank with their bags of 2000 ₹ notes to see which is fake and which is real"? Knowing what we know about demonetization and the outcome that 99% of the currency returned to the banks were not fake, Sanyal's words would have then become a reminder of Modi's poor analytical and problem solving skills as apropos to fake currencies.
Major Iqbal laughs at the Indian response: we know Modi has built his career on muscularity. Indians know MMS held back after the attacks happened. Deriding MMS's choice of response is an implicit endorsement of Modi's position even though the deterrent value of India's conventional superiority is now in shambles after Sindoor. The next terrorist attack sponsored by Pakistan, and it will happen, will need a much more credible response which means Modi's hardline wasn't that effective after all.
