"What exist in India exist in the industry" Defined nepotism perfectly.. 👌

@yas3450 5 жыл бұрын

She was spot on about why nepotism exists. It’s so deeply rooted into the very start of our culture. The inheritance of your parents status, caste, job etc. Whether it’s right or wrong, it is rooted in our society and culture. Dukaanwale se lekar actor tak. It’s all nepotism. It’s all a business. Again, not justifying it, but rather explaining that it’s not a new phenomena that just sprung out of nowhere and is exclusive to Bollywood.

@nishthaarora9533 3 жыл бұрын

I feel like at this point we can understand the bigger problem with nepotism in the film industry as opposed to nepotism in other areas, you can't make someone an artist or a creative person. There is always some level of technical training in every field but the difference between being a good actor and a great actor (apart from training, which is funnily something very easily available to star kids but they never bother) is nurturing your creativity. You can't become a painter just because your dad was, or a writer, but people will half-ass their way into these fields too. Being a lawyer in your dad's company, a doctor in your mom's clinic, and the owner of your grandfather's shop is different because all of these require technical training to reach an almost perfect level of success. It isn't the same with creative jobs so the argument that nepotism exists everywhere from lawyer to actor doesn't hold.

It's not just about culture. Nepotism exists across the world and there's nothing wrong with it. If the owner bears the financial risks, he gets to decide too whoever the fu*k he wants to hire in his company

@Lazymath007_ 3 жыл бұрын

@@nishthaarora9533 at the end of the day the acting industry is just like any other business. It needs enough revenues to survive. As a result, decisions need to be made. You cant just hire anyone in the industry, you need someone that will gurantee ROI. So yes it's not the same thing as a "writer's son will become a writer". The industry is a business and it's the same as a child working in his grandfather's shop. If the owner bears the financial risks, he also gets to decide whom he wants to hire in his company

@nishthaarora9533 3 жыл бұрын

@@Lazymath007_ And that is a fantastic way to miss the point! No, the film industry should not be like any other industry because employers need to worry about long-term goals along with meeting short term revenue requirements. If you keep degrading an industry's level and its medium, people will shift to a medium that gives quality content, which is why theatres are threatened by OTT platforms. Any business student with half a braincell could see this problem, supporters of nepotism like you really just need to go to college. Pick a good one with a business or marketing and research programme.

@Lazymath007_ 3 жыл бұрын

Why do you automatically assume that star kids are bad actors. Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Alia Bhatt are all good actors. Also you have no knowledge about business. You'd obviously hire your son/daughter in your company and not your neighbor's child. A firm doesnt only function with hardwork, it functions with trust. Nepotism is about trust. I dont know about your upbringing but I always told as a child to network as much as possible. In fact business graduates and MBAs rely a lot on networking too. We Instead of complaining "life is unfair", go out there and exchange ideas with people, hopefully it improves your intellect which you clearly seem to lack...

This movie released a decade before its time. Thank you Zoya, for making this movie.

I am so glad I revisited this interview again . It's obvious that Zoya is a very self aware artist and does not really see herself as an inspiration, especially to women. But her fierceness, her unapologetic attitude and her honesty in everything she does is such an inspiration to all women out there. As a woman in a creative field myself I am so amazed by how she never uses the fact that she is a woman as an excuse to oversell her success or undermine her failures. She really does show that there is no such thing as a 'female director' only good directors or bad.

What is the person's fault, and why would the person not use the opportunity coming his or her way. Also loved Sona'a character, she came off as the hero to Vikram's anti-hero.

When someone says the movie was way ahead of its time, what they necessarily mean in bollywood and indian context, is the movie was way ahead of internet. Regular audience until 2010 was not exposed to foreign films, especially hollywood except superhero films, and were unaware how things can be said subtly without spoon feeding and how you look at a film not just as a story or news event asking things like 'hota kya hai movie me' and 'message kya tha' but to understand the characters of the movie and what they go through is what the movie is about. Even though not all people value this content today, thankfully exposure to world cinema has made a good amount of people understand better art.

Although, yes, to be acknowledging of their privilege. It will not take away from their talent and hardwork, they can actually see that conversation as a chance to talk about their struggles as star kids.

I appreciate people who know privelage and does equaly as good as a family member who is already successful in their fields. Case in point Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson. Jon Voight and Angelina jolie. The Coppola Family. Compared to bollywood many failed examples in bollywood industry.

wow what timing of this beautiful interview...saw this movie again after soo many years last week and i was still in awe of the movie... seriously the movie was ahead of its time.... first time i had seen a movie which was soo subtle in expressing the emotions ..... every scene of luck by chance is important... not even a single line or glances exchanged between the actors is wasted....thank you Zoya Akhtar for making this amazing movie and thank you Anupama Chopra for this lovely interview :)
