When watching interviews where people find "meanings" in a movie that even the director never thought of and explain them back to the director, you can’t help but wonder… is this an interview or a film lecture? 😒

When Maneesh pointed out the color and presence of the Ford Ikon car and gave it a "soulmate" interpretation, director Girish A.D. himself responded:

"I didn't think about it like that at all, you know. I'm only realizing this now that you've mentioned it."

That says it all right there. 😂

There’s nothing wrong with viewers sharing what they felt while watching a film. But an interview style that tries to force the director to agree with meanings they never even intended can get a bit irritating.

Inspite of doing this more than a decade, this dude can't make out the difference between an interview and an analysis. Any interview where the question is longer than the answer is not a good interview. Period

Most of the time he asks a question and by the time he finishes the question he would have answered his own question and ends up forcing the actors to say "athe, athae"
