It's such a shame that talented artists like Shayam sir were called "Middle of the road the director" back then, when in fact his films are the ones that are still being studied by cinephiles even still now.

3:25 There was this Neem Tree which came into the office. 😊 Such an artistic expression which the host failed to acknowledge.

It pains me that most of the western world doesn’t know about the great work done by Mr. Benegal.

Shyam sir's movies should be re-released in theatres... and Anurag sir rightly said, my dad pushed me to watch the movies made by Shyam sir and Satyajeet Ray sir... I got scared watching Trikaal's planchet scene for the first time... and that movie is still my most favourite one...

Anurag's friendship with Karan has started to cool the fire in him which resulted in excellent movies... and nowadays Anurag is trying to satisfy the masses it seems with movies like Almost Pyaar and Manmarziyaan.. People like us who are Anurag's fans craves for those political, black comedy kind of films which made him what he is in the first place

Shyam Benegal humility killing me❣️

Superb! This kind of unhurried interviews where the interviewer is only concerned about cinema and is not pushing his ideological bullshit disguised as questions is rare these days. Thank you Mayank Shekhar! You are a rare gem in your community of movie critics.

So informative..we got know so many things especially how times changed in Indian cinema... television change..and just see how these two film makera politely answered all questions..no ego.. straight from hearth.. person like Shyam Benegal listening very calmly to Anurag.. really pleased to see.. thanks mid day!!! Wish these two collaborate sometime and give us some wonderful creation!!!

Seeing these two giants of Indian cinema Is really a pleasure 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Very Rich Content for all struggling film makers. ✊✊✊

It's good to hear 90s stories and evoking in 19 from such guy. It's a great talk like stars are speaking in sky.

What an interview yaar .....loved every second of it..... felt that I have just seen a legacy... beautiful

2 generation of revolution in indian cinema

Sham Benegal.... what a man... really a doyen of Indian cinema. Wonderful to see and hear him...

I have watched this for 10 mins now...the interviewer is a real estate agent? And the title is "Let's talk films" ? What the hell!

I don't understand so much criticism for the interviewer. It was a discussion not an interview and both anurag and shyam ji were quite comfortable. I liked the whole conversation.

fabulous..lots of insights from jyoti studios to guerilla film making style of anuarg

More than movies,I loved listening them talking about the History of Bombay.

Two beautiful gems from d Indian film industry 😃

People, this is for Mid-day and the series is called Milestones 'Mumbai'. When speaking about Mumbai, one cannot ignore the influence real estate has on the city's activities. Sorry you're annoyed, but the only thing you should bother typing is 'thank you'. You're welcome.

I don't like professional interviewers in such lovely themes . This should have been a 40 minute conversation between anurag and shayam benegal , imagine how beautiful that would be . Or someone like imitaz ali or ranbir kapoor or someone passionate about movies to moderate them. Damn we don't want these stereotypes cliche interview format anymore Thumbs down for this.

Anurag is awesome but I don’t like how he’s interrupting Mr. Benegal and completing his answers with long stories..

Big fan of Mr. Benegal and liked good insights coming from both of them who likes cinema

the Legend himself...Shyam sir

Simply superb!

Good interview!!

For the love of cinema ❤

no doubt the best movie director of bollywood

Such talented artists like Mr. Benegal and AK ji

Anurag kashyap is so bang on about Bombay.nostalgia.misss the old bombay

Both are my favourites.

Mammo, I loved the movie was in school that time and could relate myself with the boy

in first 10 mins it seemed like they are only going to talk about how mumbai was back then .

This is one of the interviews when get see before go to heaven

There are two types of 'rich' people. One who are genuinely rich and the others who write books about 'how to become rich,' lot of these books are bestsellers. These authors make a fortune out of telling people how to become rich and dabble into personal investment training, stock marketing consulting etc. space I believe Anurag Kashyap is type two here. He constantly tells you how he revolted against the system, small town background, how he excelled, struggled and made great films. In reality, Kashyap has not won a single international award (Cannes, Oscar, Bafta, Berlin, Venice, Sundance, Golden Globe etc.). I am not seeking foreign validation but broadly it gives you an overview of how impactful, avant garde, revolutionary a filmmaker is. Yes, he was a judge in few but that's absolutely irrelevant. He is all style but no real substance. His movies just come and go without a dent. Honestly, I would have loved and adored someone like him to represent India in the international platform to make us proud. Someone who'd make one cracker of a film in two/three years. But, alas, he has taken the easier route...of impressionism. Basically, a low budget production enabler under the garb of intellectualism, experimentation and unorthodoxness. Albeit, a different Mahesh Bhatt of our age.

It's the media which demarcated movies as commercial or parallel cinema. over time people associated with the demarcation. but at the end of the day, there are awesome movies which are commercial & some crap movies in parallel cinema, the audience will go watch a movie that's good, be it commercial or parallel. the advent of multiplexes created a renewed platform, which gave a breather to parallel cinema and also changed the nature of commercial cinema. commercial cinema was made with ingredients that would fill single screen cinema theatres. so the commerical aspect dictated the form of the movies. most ending up as crap products for mass consumption. these two stalwarts are examples of people who stayed true to their craft. kudos to them. latest bane of Bollywood is mediocrity in scripts and story. but then you come across gems such as andhadhun etc. which turn the tide. content is improving. but the 80s was aperiodic where commercial cinema was crap and at cinema was at its peak. amazing talent such as om puri, Naseeruddin Shah, Dipti naval, Farooq Sheikh, Smita Patil, Shabana Azmi gave some superb performances. so it's a really interesting evolution.

What a pairing & their connect?

Dream talk Grt job .mid day

Title should be "let's talk properties in Mumbai with shyam benegal sir and anurag kashyap"

Interviewer is looking to buy a plot in Bombay

Cinema hall is ❤️❤️

Why is this interview only about Anuraag ??? Not one good question for such a big living legend.. anchor really flopped this interview.

So true about versova n lokhandwala.it used to he so quite n serene.not its chandi chowk

❤❤❤❤❤

Shyam benegal exactly looks like my college principal ditto

why does he chuckle talking about ram Gopal varma?

i am wondering why anurag kashyap is speaking more and shyam benagal is silent listening. shouldn't it be otherwise around ?? Mr.Benagal should've spoken more and the other two people should've been listening to what Mr. Benagal says.

❤

Would love to know what glasses is Anurag wearing. I have been looking for something like that for a long time.

Anurag should interrupt less often

I really want to abuse the interviewer. He doesn't have any sense of sitting and speaking. How Mr. Benegal agreed to give interview ?

Why no discussion about Benegal films wtf.

Filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap and Sudhir Chaudhary have used parts of cities very much in their films as a main part sometimes. Their films are because there were those cities. There wouldn't have been Dharavi if not for that slum areas of Dharavi in Mumbai, neither Masaan if it would have not been Benaras. So interviewer is in that aura too, and he knows there is life there in cities, that's why he is asking some real question rather than about their own personal lives!

22:00

Anurag keeps interrupting Shyam sir.

As long as Anurag Kashyap keeps honesty in his films, he will be revered. Otherwise he will lose his credibility.

kisine shyam babu k ears notice kiye

14:00

16:30

shouldn't the interviewer have known when sooraj ka satva ghoda came out?

Host playing with his hair is so distracting 😑

27:46 😂😊

The interviewer asked stupid questions. Cinema lovers would love to hear more from these two legends.

Anurag kashyap seems to have the confidence of a Satyajit Ray.He is no Icon of alternative cinema.unlike Ray,Mrinal Sen or Shyam Benegal ,Anurag's movies never made it in the main competition section of any top film festival

0:26

Two of them are the greatest director of #INDIANCINEMA ever produced.....

Plz realise that two last episodes of Yatra

such a pity this has so few views.

12:21

Big fan of Anurag kashyap sir.. superb interview 🌹

Mr. Benegal appears uncomfortable in the seat. Being an elder person, his needs should have been taken care of by the team

Martin Scorsesee is facing the same problem with superhero films

Anurag said that hritk got a film from criterion? What's the film name

What an wasted opportunity by Midday, instead of discussing about film making he was asking about history, why don't you just Google??

Who is this interviewer? Why couldn't he sit straight? I wish people could learn to be more decent and respectful.

Let's talk FILMS??????

bb fans can go to 27:00

What a waste of time! Two great directors and one under prepared editor ! But then what else to expect from midday :)

to interview them HE has to be movie buff.. such a wastage of great people's time

Awesome. But he is not broadening the discussion. Best men to be interviewed but poor host

@ 10.33 shahrukh khan

Anurag should allow Mr.Legend besides.And the Interviewer really not qualified even to understand his work.

The host is not very good .. 25./. of of the interview is about BOMBAY , and his sitting style is 49.19° southeast... I was thinking of these two giant's ideology of making movies but you couldn't fullfil my dream... They are great and you should have to research on Mr. #BENEGAL on how to question to him ,or what topic will be the best to do so .. I request to Mr. Bengal to teach us on how to make movies, what will be the central thinking of making films through your precious interview. So that new generation would learn from you.... Thank you Mr kashyap for your wild entry in INDIAN CINEMA ....

Two Indian powerful filmmakers of a generation gap.

2045 Mai Kaun Kaun Dekh Rha Hai .. ??

Geography class ,, eh. ??

Why are they talking about areas in Bombay? U thought they would talk about films. This studio shifted to this area..what the hell is this? It would be better if d host just asked the two directors their favourite films

Pls remove the gay host !! Crushing on anurag

I mean.. Shyam Benegal (Sir) is okay, but Anurag Kashyap talking to him??? Come on, if someone else, for example like say Raju Hirani talks to the stalwart can be understood.

Are yaar mereko pagal kahaye Ko karne ka ek phone call truth bolo sab shaant. Meri life ki kyo Laga di.🙏 Just a message on WhatsApp truth written as my birthday gift

this interviewer taked about everything else except films. what a waste.

Well personally I would choose mainstream movies over art cinema cause mainstream movies do show a lot of social evils they do teach us brotherhood and lot of good things with entertainment whereas art movies they just showcase social issues without entertainment

Hindi movie maker or batein English main 🤔 hypocrite

Anurag kashyap is one of the most overrated Hindi film director of all time

Good interview!!
