This Mannequin Challenge gets the pain of demonetisation just right

Written by : TNM Staff

 Are you baffled by videos of people standing stock-still mid-dialogue, mid-movement and them being frozen in action? It's called the mannequin challenge, an entire setup or scene is shot with people acting as if they have turned into mannequins. And now, there's one which sums up the current Indian situation perfectly.

It features... demonetisation.

Long queue, check.

People taking selfies with notes, check.

Frustrated customers yelling at the security guard, check.

Sonam Bewafa, also check.

Check out the video here:

Spot on, right?

Posted by Be YouNick on YouTube on November 22, the video is an apt depiction of the chaos, confusion, and finally the exhilaration of getting the new notes, all captured in a few frozen minutes.

People everywhere are hopping onto the mannequin challenge fun and there are some pretty neat videos out there. 

This mannequin challenge at the gym, for instance, makes you wonder how they managed to remain still while lifting those deadly-looking weights.

People have gone a step ahead and roped in their dogs as well into the challenge.
