20 Amazing Recommendations by Anand Gandhi

[@sai69280]

I started as a fan of this channel, then everybody on this channel was kind enough to accept me as a streamer in this channel. Today this episode has reaffirmed, rather cemented my position as a fan of this channel forever. As an appreciator of biology/popular science books, Anand Gandhi (both as a person and a creator), Vaani's charm and overall books, I have been immensely moved by this episode. All I can say is that this was a tremendous episode, a stepping stone in my opinion, congratulations for this collaboration and best wishes for future endeavors.

True that.

[@MasoomRana]

Anand Gandhi has always been a personal hero and benchmark for me, but seeing him not restraint by genre and medium perhaps explains why he is such a genius. Academia, social media and the industry itself has made it so hard for people to explore mediums, often limiting people in a vicious echo chamber when it comes to content. Glad to see him not be affected by that.

Ayn Rand is trash. She was a hypocrite and the ideas that she espoused in her books through her powerful writing were far removed from reality.

Anand Gandhi one of the finest directors we have in film industry, love to see him on this channel !!! great work vaibhav and vani 👍👍

[@paavampatti]

THE PRESTIGE! He mentioned The Prestige! I would have loved to hear much more about that. That is an example of taking a brilliant book and turning it into an even more brilliant screenplay and film. Both Christophers but Nolan>Priest!

[@jibinpk5974]

Arrival soundtrack is my favourite also, it was like a meditative music when I first heard that but now it makes me upset because Jóhann Jóhansson is no more with us to make such incredible music

[@shobhitmishra8972]

Thank You So Much. You guys are doing wonderful work and trust me "ISSE BAHUT FARQ PADTA HAI"! All The Best

[@sonal5994]

We the audience wasted an opportunity to ask a sensible question from Mr. Gandhi. It was such a cringe moment to witness that! But Kudos to Chalchitra Talks for constantly raising the quality of content on KZbin. Thanks to the team🤗

[@kuldeeppurohit9479]

Every Indian youth should read Fountainhead by ayn rand. It's real inspiring and shows how one should choose his or her work.

[@Kieslowski1989]

I found both Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged equally legendary in the proportions of their themes. But I'd place Atlas Shrugged just a bit above Fountainhead for how it uses the literary devices and techniques to make itself look more elegant and eloquent.

[@sagarhugar6903]

Wasn't expecting Anand Gandhi to be Ayn Rand fan, I now see where his centrist-liberal political thoughts come from. still an admirer of his cinematic skills and intellectual prowess.

[@AkshatJha]

Ayn Rand is trash.

[@dreamysap]

I know right! I can't get how anybody over 16 who would be impressed by Ayn Rand...

[@dreamysap]

@@AkshatJha true! TBH her work should be declared crime against humanity

[@datsrohan]

Ayan rand is his guilty pleasure. Even he criticised ayan rand.

[@avinashasitis]

One of my regret is reading Atlas Shrugged and I wish I had instead read War and Peace or some other great classic. Fountainhead was still ok.

[@rubikscube647]

Such conversations keep me alive and breathing amidst these tough times ❤️❤️ Thank u

[@athilalthaf6222]

Children knowledge Bank was one of the main books that inspired to study science ❤️❤️

[@chocolatefrogs1992]

I'm sorry but the host has no idea how to interview Gandhi, who is obviously too intellectual for her. She would rather interview film stars and shoot some light-hearted questions to them.

[@preethisasha5665]

Did u just read my mind vaani? I wanted book recommendations from Anand gandhi sir after watching ship of theseus. Thanks a lot

[@lalitmanaswi49]

Big fan of the channel. But I have question. Why do you have to stick to a particular amount of time a video should be, when Anand was clearly ready to explain and indulge more?

[@SharmaAbhinav-d4f]

he's hands down one of the best new age parallel cinema directors

[@lightyagmi4925]

I am huge Robert Sapolsky fan, and watched his lecture series on Human behaviour biology in my college, really enjoyed it. Recommend Robert sapolsky's book Behave.

[@muddi900]

That is not the David Mitchell that wrote the book. The picture belongs to the comedian David Mitchell.

[@TheContrariann]

Anand Gandhi is a moviemaker who changes you within You are not the same person that you are when start watching the film of Anand Gandhi, by the time the movie is over you are a slightly different person a better person. It touches - transforms - changes something deep withinn you.

[@gauravmishra8344]

The guy at 16:07 is David Mitchell the comedian not the novelist.

[@Charvack]

John Oliver did a 'How is this still a thing' episode on Ayn Rand. After watching it, I feel better about myself for not having finished Fountainhead. So artsy fartsy. And this guy has more than 1 Rand books in his list. Pretentious.

[@endurance24601]

Yes pretentious is the word you should use Erudite Sourav!

[@navjotkaur83952]

Amazing recommendations by Anand Sir .

[@nishaj9063]

Gosh! What an amazing person Anand is. I stumbled across this site by chance and, boy, am I glad! Got some new recommendations, while some matched. And Vaani, you are so charming, you made me hide my screen from my partner.

[@gitaguha]

Of course I am an Anand Gandhi fan. Thank you so much for this interview. It’s so useful. It’s a treasure for any one.

[@sharanmukhopadhyay2429]

Hope to see more of such episodes from eminent writers,poets and filmmakers around India.

[@Kieslowski1989]

I'm very late here I know. Just wanted to say that Ship of Theseus is different. Definitely the best Indian movie of the last decade. Anand Gandhi has this camerawork of Bergman and Tarkovsky movies and has a structure of Kieslowski.

Hey guy, really appreciate your channel. You're doing great work. I just wanted to let you know that you've got David Mitchell's picture wrong. The guy in the video is the comedian and author but not the one who wrote the book Anand's talking about. Reference: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mitchell_(author) Thank you!

[@SA-jh1tz]

I'm grt fan of anand Gandhi

[@avinash_7x170]

somehow we should promote his films. many prople says his movies are not for indian audience but there are enough english movie fans and Korean movie fans but the dont support their own independent art movies.i discovered about him in this lockdown and his knowledge blew me away they are not getting right promotions other Bollywood directors are not great directors but great marketing people.

This man’s guilty pleasure is Ayn Rand. Then there’s me who secretly enjoyed 5 point someone and 3 mistakes of my life

[@endurance24601]

There are plenty intellectuals who criticize Ayn Rand too. Personally (and paradoxically) I find Ayn Rand's theory of objectivism very much like communism. Attractive when you're young, not so much as you grow up. Five point someone is a decent enough book that upon the time it was released opened the dialogue on India's education system. An insider's account of the rot and rote prevalent inside our so called premier institutions (I'm a doctor myself, an MD from of the best cancer institutes in the country and I concur). Would I rate Five point someone as a great work of literature? No. Would I look down upon anyone who's read and liked it? Emphatically no. We sometimes suffer from a sort of intellectual snobbery and are wont to literally judge a book by its cover. Please don't do that.
