So Karan Johar talk sensible if the interviewer ask sensible Questions...One of the best interview with Karan Johar ✌️

You can love him or hate him... But you can't deny his knowledge and understanding of the film industry as a whole... This whole interview shows his understanding... Sensible questions asked and sensible answers given... Learned a lot

Karan Johar's business mind needs a platform for sure. Pratham did a fantastic job. The interesting part was when he talked about what he is going to teach if he designs a course in Filmmaking.

The host is so so good at interviewing. Very genuine, transparent and made Karan feel heard and comfortable . Brilliant work! 🎉

Honestly, I have never disliked Karan. I love how he handles all the negativity. He speaks so effortlessly. Getting to hear intelligent things from him is truly amazing. I really think he should be a part of more such interviews in future. His chirpy side looks best with his brainy side.

He has produced so many entertaining films and speaks with such clarity. Karan deserves more interviews like this. The business of the entertainment industry is one of the toughest to crack, and he offers great insights here.

Pratham is the KING 👑

Say what you will about the man, Karan speaking finance of Bollywood is always a treat. AND the way he always highlights how stars are delusional about their fees - he genuinely faces this problem.

There's one intervew with Rajeev Masand where he discussed about the anatomy of a song which was "Tum Hi Dekho Na" from his movie "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna", I literally bowed to his cinematic brilliance listening to him. Not only that I believe My Name Is Khan was one of the well researched films from Bollywood. Sadly, that creative Karan is long gone now since he started taking interest in the film business more seriously in the last decade. Having said that, he truly lives and breaths cinema but I hope Rocky and Rani tanks at the box office so that he goes back to making rom-com with Shah Rukh Khan again in which we middle-class want to get swayed again.

Really great session! There are barely any discussions regarding the business of bollywood on the web, and I'm pretty sure no such discussion with a market leader like Karan Johar

This is like the best KJo interview that I have watched. This was so transparent

I think this is one of the best interview of Karan johar. He is a bollywood encyclopaedia. The host and questions were so on point that we as audience are getting what the title of video is. Great job. Cheers

Honestly speaking, KJo is a Cinematic Brilliant and it proves in his interviews and his show KWK is most of people's guilty pleasure because let's face it guys, SEX SELLS and we are interested to know about Inside industry's gossip and even if you hate KJo but you still can't ignore the fact that bollywood and KJo have given us our childhood memories and thus they're still entertaining for us 🙌🏻❤️

Karan Johar is a very smart man! He speaks with so much clarity and honesty. Love all his interviews.

Surprised that Karan showed up for a podcast like this. Never heard about the host but clicked for Karan. I was surprised by his honesty. Love interviews like this. Keep it up!

KGF and Kantara is from the same production house. And they are also producing Salaar this year.

You can hate or love Karan Johar... But you can't ignore him. He is a genius and an inspiration for filmmaker ❤️

This is a fricking masterclass. Karan johar is one of a leading businessmen in our country and people actually focus on the wrong stuff about him, he has one of the strongest minds and conviction when it comes to executing and presenting things, he should instead be consider as a genius. Thank you pratham, you're an amazing person and a fantastic mind yourself too. Thanks for doing this.

Karan has an astute business mind, Pratham did a good job with his questions. He had some interesting questions like the kind of startups possible in the film industry or like the syllabus of the course on biz of bollywood. How I wish he could have gone deeper on the business side questioning. The line of questioning became a bit broad and diluted. I don't know if it wasn't done because karan can't share stuff about it beyond a point. But would've loved a more focused line of interesting questions to give a sneak peek into the workings of the fascinating world of bollywood.

Baahubali series kickstarted Part 1 & 2 phenomena. Coming to Risk taking - I feel Baahubali series was the biggest risk as it was the highest budget film at that point of time and that too coming from Telugu Film industry which didn’t have a large market like Bollywood back then but Rajamouli sir's conviction in his skill and the teams strategy made Bahubali a series that went down in India's history as the series that started Indian cinema's journey.

A film doesn’t fail, a budget does. ~ Yash chopra

Kjo has an amazing mind, never knew he had so much exposure in the business 🙇

This is the guy ppl make fun of... I mean seriously!! Starting from his journey after his fathers death n now look at him nd his wisdom on indian cinema... Speechless!!!

TVF and AIB are probably good examples of startups who left some kind of mark in the entertainment business. TVF actually became mainstream with OTT.

The interviewer asked some great questions. Thorough research, well worded thoughts on so many topics. It brought out such a good experience from Karan Johar! A delightful and knowledgeable watch!

Love him or hate him.. there is no one like Karan Johar. This interview has given a different perspective of him!! Great interview

This channel needs more subscribers for its quality content and karan johar deserves lesser haters for his sheer brilliant mind as a film maker.

The media needs to show this side of KJo more! Such an insightful watch!

I am an aspiring film writer, this Vodcast is very very fruitful for me . Thanks. Keep spreading knowledge.

The way Karan sir understands the cinema is beyond the intelligence of the stupid trollers.

one of the rare times karan speaks honestly and to the point. one of his sides that makes him bankable.

22:10 I've always liked this segment. Even Javed Akhtar talked about this. The history of India through the eyes of Cinema.

I love hearing producers especially Karan johar ... they have deep experience in the field including about actors directors support staff scheduling , costs and returns and the trends in industry ... , I'm from telugu industry and here there are great producers like Suresh babu , Dill raju etc ...their interviews are encyclopedias .. I believe KGF learnt from Bahubali and cut down production cost for the same effect at box-office... Kantara is typical example of short budget film that when made right can be a block buster ... I as a normal viewer I think any movie that engages ur mind will be a success .. that's a good script , screen play , background music , and great direction and actors ... kantara and kgf proved that stars are not necessary .... Kantara had all of these elements especially great background music , great acting and direction ... and it's made in low budget ... like no expensive locations or costumes or too many extras or massive sets ..... that made it a block buster ...

One of the finest interviews on Bollywood and the business aspect side of it. Thank you Pratham for curating such a refreshing tete-a-teté and thanks Karan for being so honest with your answers. Loved it!

So so goood - such a relief for my childhood self to see Karan's creativity & intelligence behind all that public demeanour! Such a valuable & entertaining episode!

Wow this is such a refreshing interview. Rarely we get to listen to these money behind the industry. Good to see kjo letting us see his genius side for once

Finally......an interview, so true at it's opinion..... What we as in audiences wanted to know and Mr. karan Johar delivered at it's best with the experience we all didn't expect ever....... Truly "A MIND OPENING SESSION".🎉

My god m stunned this man never fails to amaze with his talent we need to stop pulling him down

karan johar has the brightest mind in indian cinema he is clear what he wants

Being a Bollywood fan, i always had these questions in my mind and he asked it, an MBA mind is always the same😊

One of the most candid, honest & entertaining interviews which has provided a lot of insight & clarity into the notoriously opaque world of the business of Indian films. This interview is truly a masterclass. Kudos!

Absolutely amazing interview. I’m extremely happy that some of the most interesting and intriguing questions were asked, which I certainly look out for to be asked to a filmmaker. Thank you!!!

What an insightful conversation! LOVED IT.

I never got inspired by Karan Johar... I always somewhat hated him for nepotism n all ... But today I looked him with different perspective business perspective n he really somewhat inspired me

The set of questions selected were excellent! Loved it!

Pratham threw some really good questions and Mr Karan Johar once again proved love, passion and intelligence in Bollywood.❤❤

Very unusual of some b-school making something like this ❤️ loved it

Telugu film industry topped in overall boxoffice percentage of Indian cinema for 3 years in a row. 2020-21& 22.

I'm a telugu guy n i must say, what an elequant speaker n honest person KJ is. loved it. Thanks pratham

This man is a wise person... I love his movies... He creates his own world

Love how entertaining and informative Karan's interviews always are

Appreciate Karan Johar For Excellent Knowledge Of Business Stastic 👏 👌 🙌 👍 💪

6:15 I really like how he gave credit and respect to Apurva

Telugu cinema gone better in 2022 ..movies like major, sita ramam, rrr, pushpa, akhanda, masooda. Every genre was blockbuster.

One of the best interviews of Karan Johar

I love to see him talk! I've seen how far he's adapting to the change as a businessman. Putting the money in dharmatic is a great step and absolutely necessary, instead of clinging to the big screen. Would love to see him direct again, should be different for sure because, in general mindset of the audience is changed. Personally, would love to see another my name is khan.

This is the unknown side of karan johar... Which is really great to look at, he should project this side his more often

Thankyou so much for this conversation! Karan is such a genius mind. Spoke with clarity through and through.

Amazing interview. We didn’t see him at producers adda of film companion this time. Good to see him here.

Loved this. Karan talking about business and providing really great insights. Really good questions too!

Karan Johar is a very sensible, intelligent person... Not like what social media tries to portray.. He has changed a lot

I love Karan! So charismatic, so knowledgeable, confident! What a force of energy! 🤍🤍🤍✨

One of the best interviews of Karan Johar ❤

Best and the most informative never seen Karan joher talking so truthfully and sensibly . Loved this side of Karan joher . Impressed .

Always a great treat to listen to when karan expresses his experience ❤️🙏

Stop hating him for no reason. Smart businessman and we also learn new English words😂

Super educational! Thankyou Pratham :)

24:21 well said Karan 👍🏻👍🏻

Karan is really a powerful director and producer.

This interview just showed a different side of Karan whom we Indians never knew.

Really interesting interview and something new perspective to watch, very well prepared questions and the answers were also so on point!! Have watched such an amazing interview

Awesome questions and KJo is phenomenal.. impressed by you TWO👍

Just so excited looking at the topic itself! Have been so curious about this topic, hope the podcast turns out to be an exciting one!

Pratham really gave him space to speak out and express himself

What an enlightening conversation. Prathamesh u asked such amazing and relevant qs drawing so much out of KJo.

Great educational interview ❤

This is best interview of kj

I've a newfound respect for Karan Johar. His vast knowledge about his work really supports the passion he shows for the same. I don't know why people take shots om his personal choices, but I think he's a true "people's person" at heart. Creative personalities are bound to be like that - cheerful, chirpy, open. As an advertising student myself, I really appreciate the way Karan went on to explain in detail, using jargons wherever necessary. A cup full of learning 🙌🏼

came across this video by chance. Pratham you're great at your job, smooth operator. Mr. Johar is honest cool. A+

Wow as an mba student and a passionate enthusiast of movie business, this video answered all my questions. Thank you Masters union for this video, would love to see more of this

One of the best interview I have watched this week. Both of them were amazing.

Absolutely beautiful. Amazing interview!!!

No matter how much hate this man gets.. one can't deny his passion for cinema and his knowledge

Karan explained very well and speak authentically

Loved all the questions and the honest responses to them. This is definitely one of Karans' best interviews.

dudeeeee, Pratham. All that who spoke is K Jo, but this interview says a lot about you. The relevant and appropriate questions you asked throughout the interview and never interrupted K Jo. You are prodigious. I would be surprised if K Jo did not ask for your contact after the interview.

What a beautifully planned, to-the-point, Crisp discussion ! Kudos!

Wow,Karan u can do series on this Topic.. you are genius

Pratham you could apply for a savvy hero's role. You definitely have the charm.

This is a wow interview look at the way he explained the curriculum of film business from history of cinema to globalisation of cinemas very intelligent businessman filmmaker

35:55 Thank you, I needed to hear that

One of the best interviews of Karan Johar, amazing !!

Good interview - explores a new area of the industry

tbh .. I never hated him .. and now I watched and listened to this sensible and thorough interview of his and I think people should not hate him for the sake of hating, for his sexuality or whatever people perceive about him. Let him do and enjoy how he wants. It is better to focus on the good a person has rather than picking on their flaws.

Do NOT work at Dharma. I graduated from a top university abroad, interned there for a bit and I was shocked at how it is. It is NOT set up as a corporation at all. I feel like Karan is trying to make his company sound WAY cooler than it is. It is not 400-500 people, lol dude it’s not more than 100, 50 of which are creatives who are not really in the office as much. The business departments (production, finance, accounting, legal) are completely separated from the creative departments. They are completely different wings and don’t interact at all. As a non-creative person, you are not allowed to walk into the creative wing. We literally had a shit working space and it was like being in a completely different office. Maybe it’s good for creative head of departments (cinematographer, assistant directors, art teams) but it’s NOT a place for a business grad to go. I’ve been to some other film/web production offices and they seem to have a way better set up. Other thing is that all my colleagues in the “business” functions were like men from 35-50 who barely knew English and just did not have a professional demeanor. Look it’s totally fine if you don’t know English, but I’m just saying that’s not necessarily who you would expect your colleagues to be after getting a proper business degree, you’re not gonna be around people similarly qualified. Plus, the culture of my team was HORRIBLE. The lead guy was a very crass, loud, extremely sexist, had a crazy ego, no female felt comfortable talking to him, and there was lot of attempted sabotaging going on, which I personally had never experienced in the work place. You have to do menial tasks like expensing receipts, printing papers for months before doing anything else. My other work experiences had been outside of India so I wasn’t sure if working in India just sucks or Dharma was especially horrible, so I straight up asked the other two people my age working on that project who have worked with other Indian production companies, and they all said that Dharma is the worst place they’ve been at. I cannot believe I gave up a tech experience for that… beware of being a “business person” in the film line! It’s not as glamorous, and DEFINITELY NOT AT DHARMA. If you start you’re own thing after going up the corporate ladder in another industry that may be fine, but there’s honestly not much of a thing as climbing up the ladder at Dharma.

Thats a terrific set of questions for an extremely insightful film maker. FANTASTIC interview !!

I would really like to pursue that course on Indian Cinema 😍

One of a kind interview . Thank you for this .

Great piece ❤️
