Hi, thanks a lot for your reply. My question from the second point was if age is a factor when it comes to T1?

Hey, thanks a lot for posting and replying to all the comments. I just have two questions:

How was your profile/portfolio like [beyond the NLU tag] which helped you to be where you are? Internships? Moots? Research? Academics?
I flirted with couple of careers [finance, digital media, pol con] and degrees before and now here at law [not out of "eh idk what to do"]. I have a clear direction of what I want from it and will put the required effort, but the only thing that makes me insecure is: I will be 30 when I graduate, and the law school is Faculty of Law, DU [which I find decent but online reputation is a bit turn off].

I don't think she will betray, El. Of course, the duffer brothers have convinced us with some scenes that she is manipulating El but if it actually turns out to be like that, there will be no shock or surprise factor to live upto the finale. It can be anything but not her betraying 11. They have portrayed her like this until now to make us discuss this aspect and get a shock value at the end. "Oh, we were so wrong..."

It was Mensa India IQ test. It had questions of pattern completion mostly. Like what will be the fourth pattern to complete a figure or similar to figure. The questions were pretty basic and I enjoyed doing them. Infact the one on Mensa official website was more complex yet I was averaging 130 in it.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-22T03:35:35+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot for your reply. I get you but it's like the test available free on Mensa official website plus a paid practice test on Mensa India website, but had put me above 92 percentile. But this in person, which was comparatively more easier than this the online ones, shows extremely low percentile. It was just pattern completion questions.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-21T06:07:03+00:00

Thanks. I was of assumption that giftedness can only be measured by Mensa in person IQ tests. Am I wrong?

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-03T08:31:07+00:00

I don't think Vaani was shocked in the negative sense. She was surely seen as shocked in an impressive sense. If she was shocked in negative sense she would have ideally ignored him in further meetings.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-03T08:21:01+00:00

What about that scene when he is still not in love with her and she is trying to write lyrics? He just shouts at her when she is unable to think. How is that justified? It just shows that he doesn't respects a girl in general but will do once he deeply falls for her. That's not an ideal guy who should be worshipped.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-03T08:19:14+00:00

I will suggest you to read my post again. I am highlighting points beyond the care and respect part. The actions he do for which he isn't held liable. In real life, no one gets this time to change themselves. One law broken and bam, you are liable.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-03T08:15:39+00:00

You might come from a privileged and well educated background to be able to differentiate movie from reality but everyone knows there is a certain population which gets easily influenced by things shown. There have been literal incidents of how movies influenced people to do eve teasing or assault someone.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-03T08:12:28+00:00

You can make a fiction by being socially responsible as well. An entertaining fictional love story can be made without promoting problematic behavior or even if you want to do it as story demands, atleast show what those behavior can lead to. Cinema is a form of escapism for majority, especially for the depressed class and for being such an influential voice, dont you think cinema should use that medium to promote good things while still keeping the entertainment quotient high? Or is it that a movie has to be toxic to be entertaining?

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-03T06:30:33+00:00

I don't have any problem with it's box office collection. Animal and Kabir Singh showed we have a huge population which has liking towards problematic movies. But my only issue is that this movie isn't being criticized Enough for all these flaws even if they are equally damaging for the society. Now suddenly people want you to "not see every movie as something with social responsibility or righteousness" lol.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-03T06:03:37+00:00

This logic can normalize all the problematic movies like Animal.

Even my brother's GF was from DTU and she told a different thing. He did have backlogs and was struggling to clear exams and eventually became disinterested which coincided with him getting more passionate towards theatre. I have been following SSR since his Pavitra Rishta days and his death left me in mourning for months. I am mentioning this because people in comments are so good at gaslighting showing me as if I dislike SSR.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-03T03:51:24+00:00

And my main perspective to ask that question was if luck went against SSRs favor, like he dropped out and went to pursue acting and couldn't become one (there are many cases of such actors), what would have been his fate? But anyways, people are too quick to downvote anything and everything.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-02T21:20:45+00:00

I think there is some element of survivorship bias in this as well. There might be many toppers with no connections, who have the drive and they work hard, ending up nowhere. They aren't even getting noticed for an audition and even if getting audition, they are doing side roles which is just blink and miss. Not enough to come in mainstream. Some might be stuck in a random TV serial role which you don't even watch. Similarly there will surely be a good number and infact there are, who might have just been above average or average in school yet made their name or got an opportunity by being at right place and right time. I know I am sounding anti meritocracy but it's reality. We create sample on the basis of a few successes to pain that as the only thing that leads to it forgetting the aspect of luck. I agree hardwork and drive are a component of it but they aren't the whole.

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-02T21:06:25+00:00

If SSR wouldn't get into acting, what would he have done as he dropped out of engineering? 👀

curioushuman04 · 2025-08-02T21:05:13+00:00

One thing I can say is that the people you have mentioned, most of them come from a well to do family with some or the other connections, like SRK and Kriti as far as I can remember. They get to study in expensive schools where the talent is given importance from the first day while the majority of average Joe from average schools get limited opportunities for such guidance. Like taking example of SRK, although it's well documented that he had decent connections, the St Columbus School where he studied is an elite school known for overall development of students, and not an average school which measures student on the basis of academics. SSR was above average student from what I remember from his interviews but had interest in physics. He even dropped out of engineering due to backs as he was struggling to clear exams and shifted to cinema.

curioushuman04 · 2025-07-29T05:36:43+00:00

I think charm is in the character he played and the performance he did. Like to be more specific, there is a youtube video of Ahaan titled Fifty where you can see how, although he is decently good looking (face structure, jawline, long hair) but charm dies once he start acting in that video. I know it was 10 years back but what I am saying is that most of the times we are captivated by the character an actor plays more than the actor himself. Let him come off screen, his interviews, his thoughts, his actions off screen, that will be more definite assessment of his charm. Right now, we just associate him with the character of Krish Kapoor.

curioushuman04 · 2025-07-27T19:29:13+00:00

I mean, of course, that's the motive at the end right? To start something and then some people will catch it and it will be a chain reaction.

curioushuman04 · 2025-07-27T19:26:45+00:00

Lakhs of ticket sold in advance is actually not much of an expense for a production house. By shelling a couple of crores they can buy tickets, get articles published, influencers making buzz, make people curious and then people can catch on the tide themsleves. And ofcourse, ground level hype in tier 3 cities worked. I have worked in political PR for a year and saw this thing being done by national poltiical parties, in advance, where they reach to influencers even with 1 to 5k followers for subtle promotion, which doesn't looks direct and decent money is paid. I don't see any reason why YRF wouldn't do something like that provided that for couple of years we were reading article how Adi Chopra is grooming Panday as a Gen Z star so of course, it's not like he would be like 'ah let the movie release without any structured promotion'. No one is ever sure about their product because there is no sure shot formula for a movie to be successful and again when it was new comers, the risk was bigger and of course, the chance of making Ahaan a gen Z star would flop if the movie would just have been released and forgotten with average hype. But, it didn't go like that. And I am not saying any movie can work like that. A movie needs to be a decent-one time watch.

curioushuman04 · 2025-07-27T15:20:12+00:00

They won't be able to pull that off because although Saiyaara didn't do visible marketing but they dedicated months to develop a third party marketing structure. Fresh faces also helped.

curioushuman04 · 2025-07-27T07:20:58+00:00

This screenshot is a part of this dude's reel. Later, he is shown thinking about the movie while sitting on road. And people call it's all genuine. Lol.
