Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara | Why Subtext is Important 

IMO best scene was when Hritik cried after the scuba-dive. That dive changed his character from money pursuer to life pursuer.

Irony - Rajeev Masand quoted this scene as "unnecessary deviation" from the story.

This is michelin star stuff in an industry dishing out mcdonald burgers.

Rest in Heaven Vinit, your videos will keep us inspired forever ❤

Zoya is just a great director. She understands how to make good film and she’s gotten praised for it. She also got educated at NYUs film school which is just amazing but movies like this and gully boy solidify her as an all time great.

Rest in peace, Vinit ❤

Wow finally an Indian doing such vids on Bollywood

I have noticed that the subtext loving people are generally watch a lot of movie, and they have much time to give to themselves and to think sitting silently, or they have grown too mature in noticing minor changes in other's faces in different situations. This type of people are mainly introverts or old. In India these type of people are rare due to various reasons, mainly economic and educational. This made the Indian movies mainly entertainment oriented.

You'll be forever missed and thus remembered.

Loved the line - "Indian audiences are not intelligent enough."

Super fantastic analysis. Man you and your channel will be the single reason that will uplift the next generation of Bollywood flicks.. Just need hindi version to reach a far wider audience..

Man I feel deep sadness when i realise we will never able to see videos like it anymore.

Every time I watch one of your videos I end up with unexpected tears rolling down my cheeks for some reason. The part at the end of the video when you go off about what films mean to us is some straight up, no nonsense, powerful stuff. Something that I resonate a lot with. Every day I am faced with choices and crises of thought that can be effectively resolved through the use of all those vicarious experiences gained by watching and loving good films. Love, morality, life, death, happiness, nature, family, friends, history, psychology, thrill, horror, sadness, pain, etc. So many experiences and so many emotions delivered to us so that we may appreciate our lives much better, so that we may become more compassionate, kind, empathetic and loving in our quest to lead more fulfilling lives. I owe a lot to films. A lot of emotional maturity wouldn't have been possible without them. A lot of stability in an otherwise tumultuous life of a somewhat unnecessarily sensitive kid wouldn't have been possible without stories to escape to when the pain of reality became too hard to shoulder. I urge you to keep up the good work.

This is the second time I watched the video after 2 years. Looks like there aren't many who understand the sub-text of this channel either. You really deserve more subscribers bro.

If you're talking about subtext you must mention Satyajit Ray. ♥

Sir, what you're doing is fantastic. kudos. I am a fan.

Sir charan kaha h aapke, feeling proud that indians also are interested in Film Studies. Thank you so much ☺

I think Hindi movies were learning the art of sub-text with movies like these and then as soon as 2017 began movies like Raees, Kaabil, Rangoon,Jolly LLB 2,Badrinath, Ghazi,Ok Jaanu, it is beginning to fade away again. All I see is JUST exposition. Last night I was watching a movie called Bandhan. It was on the TV, I wasn't watching it intentionally. It's like Hindi movies are going back to that age. I hope 2017 brings movies like Aligarh and Piku and ZNMD soon.

Personally one of my favorite film, few of times it happens in Bollywood that the story revolve around 3 friends are being beautiful and brilliant films like Dil chahta hai, 3 idiots, Kaipoche, and of course ZNMD, They need more films like these👍

I have no words to express my respect for your work vinit sir. I am a fan of your words. Why don't you stay for longer? why you left us so soon? I wish I could met you in real life.

you are a really brilliant critic. i hope you get international recognition.

Damn. Close to tears, right now. That was genuinely beautiful. One of your best.

Bhai kaise???? Kaise itna koi Soch sakta hai? I am completely amazed. U bring all new spectrum to everything. Great!!

I don't think I have come across channels doing video essays on bollywood movies, and this is honestly so refreshing!! Subscribed.

This is one of the most beautiful videos justifying as to why storytelling, intelligent scripts and depth of characters is so much important in a movie. I highly respect you for the kind of videos you make. The clarity of thought, the thorough research and the apt analysis shows in the videos. Thank you for this channel. You make me love cinema even more!

You are making me rediscover my love for nuanced movies. Thanks.

I love how you've recreated the mesmerizing background score that plays out during the scenes.

You know it is a HUGE compliment when I say that your channel reminds me of Every frame a painting.

You are simply brilliant in what you show in these videos. Stumbled upon your channel today and watched so many already! Thanks for this!

Glad to have this kind of channel in India, thanks for the quality and effort

...wow. I clicked just because I was so excited to finally see video essays about Bollywood, but this went SO much deeper. Not just in the global film references but in what it says about art and humanity. Incredible work.

This is something special.. With every video I watch of yours.. It makes me want to go and revisit these movies

You are one hell of a movie lover and man what an amazing job on revealing those small details....

You are one of the best channels on RU-vid. This video rely is work of genius. Keep up the good work and all the very best.

Love your videos, our country needs more people who take film seriously as an art form as opposed to mindless entertainment, and you're a push in the right direction!

I absolutely love the way you break down each aspect. Your hard work truly shows in your content. I would like you to analyse Baahubali, like how the film struck a chord with the audience and if it's good film or not. I promise you won't regret it.

Excellent video. Please keep making more. People like you help aspiring artists understand art better. Keep up the great work...

You have a very good eye for good movies and the nuances of storytelling. I wonder why this channel is not famous??

Wow amazing, the understanding you have for movie and movie watching experience is great... Love the detailing you have done... Amazing piece of work...

Man for your narration, observation, your efforts i don't know what to say... I'm just speechless.

Why did you title it ZNMD instead of simply Understanding Subtext, since ZNMD was only one of the many examples that you gave in your video essay?

wow, your outro lines were just so amazingly constructed. its almost filmy!

Stumbled across that video accidentally. Great content! It has always been a fantasy of mine to have such critical discussions around movies (without being in a formal movie course) since we spend so much time watching them.

This is so beautifully awesome! Great work! Please keep the videos coming. .

I really appreciate your effort towards making the video. I want you to know that you're doing a great job in analyzing the different contexts of a movie. I enjoy all your videos very much. Thank you.

God!! Your work is really great, Vinit. Keep it up. It kind of feels more detailed than the last time I saw it.

Brilliant observations! Glad there is someone from India, who is doing something like this with an example of Our film, in a web full of all the film channels from west. Looking forward to more of you ! :D

I have been waiting for someone to dissect good bollywood movies. Kufos to your channel. Keep up the good work

The only Bollywood movie I wouldn't mind watching again. Great analysis btw. You've got yourself a new subscriber.

I really appreciate your work. Thank you for the gift of helping us understand our storytellers better.

I appreciate your eye for art. Hard to find people like you( I'm one of you). Hope Indian people start appreciating good cinema.

Wonderful. I really in search of Indian channel which is making film literacy and I found you. Please keep it up

A lot of respect and appreciation for your work . thank you for showing such aspects of reel life n real life as well. :)

Cant stop watching ur videos, glad this channel exists.

Thanks Vinit for such wonderful insights into Cinéma. I've seen much of your RU-vid work. It is thiightful. Thanks again..

I just binge watched 6 videos! You are god level amazing! 🙏

Just when I'm starting to write 2nd draft found this. So much helpful. I can overlook my dialogues now to improve them. Thank you. 😊

wow!! the end really makes it a great video. Didn't really expect this from an youtube Indian channel. I guess, we are finally grown up as a nation now.

Brilliant.... More than expected... Knowledge is top notch about cinema.. And understating of it is one of it’s kind ... 👌🏼 Keep up the great work brother... 👍🏼

you are exceptionally good with your analysis !!!! I understood the meaning about imran and his father's scene in my heart when I watched the movie, and you've perfectly put it in words which I never could... when I listened to you I felt,,, yeaahhh thats what it was !!! You are really doing a great job... please keep doing this.. !!

Finally a good Indian RU-vid channel with fantastic in depth analysis 🙂

Brilliant analysis! I just love to watch this movie anytime and read between lines!!

Brilliantly broke the ice on Subtext. Thanks.. Will be watching ZNMD yet again.

Watching this, it felt like someone exactly quoted the feeling in words. But in next scene when he informs about this to his mom, I guess the essence of this subtext is diluted bit. Loved your work. Keep doing and post more often. It is about the the words left unsaid.

Beautifully narrated, edited. Underrated af. Best of luck in your endeavors.

Where has this channel been all this time?! Great job dude! Nice video essay

This is a brilliant and needful video. Kudos (y)

You are really awesome... You are simply just not analyzing movie. You are telling how art should define life... Your words are amazing.

I loved the way you explained each n every scene.. Kudos.

man, you are good. Understanding film is good but those extra lines towards the end of video stating need for the storytellers , mind blown. Thanks !

I got to learn about subtext when I first attended an acting workshop. Before learning about subtexts, I had great difficulty in expressing emotions in front of camera. Understanding of subtexts is necessary when it comes to acting.

mind blowing analysis.... can't expect better than this.... more learning and knowledgeable video...... superb work

superb work,sir.I never thought an Indian could go to such depth.I used to watch cinefix and feel that we did not have that in us but you have proved me wrong.Well done

Wowwwwwww man justttttttt wowwwwwww thank you for telling how a great scene really works.. This knowledge is something justttt beyond the words for me.. Plz keep on making such GREAT CONTENT ❤

This is your first video I have watched and I want to say is that I love your channel. ♥️

Bro, ur channel deserves at least a million subscribers.!!!

Hey man! I've been binge watching your videos and the quality of the content is just mind blowing. It's such a shame you aren't putting out new episodes anymore. Hope to see you back with more and subscribing nevertheless. :)

Amazing... Amazing.. amazing.. amazing... I m speechless... Class content.. looking forward to see more such videos.. 😀

Never in my imagination would I have guessed the reason you would choose to show ZNMD in the limelight would be that scene. I remember ZNMD for its Dil Chahta Hai vibe. But I guess I never picked up on the subtext enough for me to register the movie for this scene. But now I know better and developed more respect for the movie. Brilliant examples of other scenes of subtext. Edit: it was tough to watch this video sitting in a public place. Tears just rolled down for some reason!

Good understanding shown and some of the crucial points listed here. Keep it up.

man, you are genious you make me cry in every video.

Really underrated channel, your content rivals the likes of Every Frame a Painting,Nerdwriter,Channel Criswell etc

Watching this gave me goosebumps. And a few tears.

7:47 - The Conclusion is especially brilliant. Can listen to it all day!

I see Movies not just watch them And it's so so good to know that there is somebody else also An Artist to Artist Thank You Period #MovieLover

Man this video changed the outlook of actual life we live Instant sub

Are u a film school student? How do you analyse so deep. I myself watch movies with great performances but was never able to identify these tiny details. Hats off man.

I really liked this video ... its unfortunate that it got blocked ... so commenting to boost this video. Great work ... plz never stop ....

You just changed my perception towards movies 😊😊 truly genius.

you earned my subscription dude..keep up the good work

It was an amazing video. Thank you!

Vinit masram is a gem

That was a great analysis , loved it👍

I have never felt so intrigued my entire course so far on YT. Detailed narration with supporting clips. What a masterpiece!! I have always felt the need of investing time to understand these aspects of details while watching a movie. Though with not so much background of research. But I am going to now henceforth(invest more brains to be precise). Hope Indian audience start doing it too in coming years. Awesome selection of movies for explaining the difference between text & subtext. Job well done!! Keep up the good work.

Recently started watchng your videos.. Very impressive work man.. M also like u n think in a same way. But cudnt really express the way you did..beautiful!!

Beautifully explained. Just discovered your channel and subscribed. Keep rocking man

One of the best quality videos by an Indian RU-vidr

I keep coming back to these videos every now and then.
