{{/usCountry}}“And the best part is-he spoke up for everyone, not just for himself or his accomplices,” commented an X user. Agnihotri replied, “That’s what leadership is all about.”
Another person disagreed with the man in the video, adding, “A ticket refund would have made sense, but ten vouchers is a bit much.”
A third individual expressed, “We did the same thing we did in Dwarka Vegas Mall when they cancelled the RRR morning IMAX show. We demanded a double ticket. In the beginning, they denied it, but we were sure. Finally, police interference got us double the amount!”

A fourth wrote, “Language is such a beautiful way to explain and express, yet these days it has only been limited to swearing in most situations. This was handled beautifully.”
A few, however, argued that the man’s demands were extreme. One person joked and said, “Thank god he didn’t ask for a 3 BHK in Gurugram.” Another chimed in, adding, “Sorry, this is far from being responsible or rational. Reasonable citizens don't demand freebies or compensation. At best, the audience member should have asked multiplex guys to charge them the price of a ticket equivalent to a non-Imax screen and return the rest of the money. His demands kept increasing by each minute, and towards the end, he even asked for refreshments. It felt as if he was about to ask for his EMI and loan instalment payments next. This is just abuse and exploitation.”
