Pangong Lake? Wild ass guess, no idea about the Satrangi clue though.

That's a good guess! You are right.

Satrangi re was shot around the lake. So were parts of 3 idiots.

 

Only one question remains unanswered:

^^ I also got the reference but am stuck on what the dude said.  I remember they asked him about his succession; not clue what he said.

 

I have a mini quiz of my own.

 

1.  This common, highly dangerous, ailment starts with a 'C' and ends with an 'A'

2.  It's so viral, almost all of us are at risk 

3.  A lot of famous personalities get it very early on

4.  It can cause incredible social disruption and public havoc.

 

The answer, in case you're lost, is: Chewtiyapa

Seeing the overwhelming response for my last question, Imma give away the answer:

 

@NameGoesHere was the closest!

 

While on his deathbed, Alexander was surrounded by his generals who asked him who his successor would be. Each one of them was making their case as to why they would be the rightful heir. Seeing his life ebb away the generals started getting even more hysterical. It was Ptolemy, iirc, who finally asked Alexander who should be the next ruler.

And it is then that Alexander said " The strongest" and passed away.

 

I saw this in a play which claimed to be based on actual history.
