I feel it when BR says "Film watching has always been a personal experience & I witness a film alone, not with a group". No wonder he is an award winning critic.

Best statement to me: Leo evlo sambarichaa namakku ena. Films are to enjoy in someway. Not to fight

Nice interview. BR Share lot of information that he didn't shared before

The interviewer asked good questions. But his nervousness was visible. He can be more confident in future

my happy thing was we talk in interval time and after finished movie, we discussed abt the atleast 1-2 hrs that ill enjoy it, thats why i always get a company.

Spot on BR 👍🏻 Movie watching especially going solo is truly a well time spent experience and also any person can like/dislike/enjoy/criticize the movie based on their opinions.

One can't deny that Tamil film making has came a long way from stage drama to technical film making. A lot of our older directors, way before Sridar, western directors were directing Indian films. The producer could be an Indian but the director who knew how to use the camera was from west. Technical Film making predominately is about experimentation. If you look at Citizen Kane director Orson Welles would have experimented all types of camera angles and experimented with lenses which was even new to some western cameramen. However, they would have not known at that time, both in Germany, Italy and much of Eastern Europe there were directors experimenting with new techniques. So much of our earlier directors like Sridar, Balumahendra, etc have read up or watched these techniques. These techniques are there to help with the story telling, the light, sound, music, art design, camerawork are the aesthetics to elevate the story telling. If the story is not engaging and if the actors are not able to translate that visually to the audience with their body language and verbally then for the audience the film may not be appreciated. For example, there is a single scene in Jigirthanda Double X, when Lawrence will just stare at the fire after his father's death. In that single scene, Lawrence has showed with his facial expression how his mind was feeling about the truth about the real world. We all know how dumb/naive Lawrence character was before but that single scene is the "realisation" for him the actual cruelty that surrounded him. That was a simple shot, decent lighting for the night shot regardless that acting was what sealed the situation. Have you seen Lawrence ever acted like that before? I guess he just did what the director told him to do. I think we have also seen a lot of technique done by Barthirajah. Watch Vedam Puthithu. Even Balachandar said, he will not be able to make a film like that. That movie both interms of story telling and film technique was able to touch the audience heart. It's a moving picture. In a way it's similar to the Titanic movie storyline, Lover caught in difference social classes.

@34:16 ; Abhishek thakkapattar😂😂

BR is one such gem in industry! Very good questions from Interviewer! He lookalike kalidas jayaram!

I would love to try this technique from 27:57

I wish they shoot in English. Big fan of Baradwaj sir but this barrier of communication .

Nice interview❤

Rangan is widely seen, you should have come up with a subtitle, bro!

Nice interview.. like a student learning from a teacher

Truth is everybody working for money and fame. Then how would you point out heroes to take a risk. It's completely based on the Market interest

Why waste time initially in preview?🤦

We need to postpone OTT release to 10 to 12 weeks. This will force people to watch movies for first 6 to 8 weeks. OTT also should take advantage to increase price since a lot of new audience hooked on OTT. Also, government needs to take advantage scrub piracy content to get entertainment tax boost.

I like to watch film alone

39:45 the interviewer kid comes alive when the topic changes to watching porn movies... :)

Not an Interview for BR, too generic and box office related questions which BR is never interested in. Please prepare urself better next time before u interview a person like him

Bro was hitting the gym, I guess.

When you speak truth you stand out of N number of people ex : BR❤

3:45 dada was an aberage movie which mother believes that her child died and she left with areogance that she doesnt even want to see her child or attend funeral and live an arrogant life in which universe this happens 😂

He is being politically correct in not directly criticizing anyone or any film. Quality of movies have dropped big time. Audience just want their heroes to be super heroes and say punch dialogues, few dance sequences and some emotional scenes. We need quality film makers who can do something beyond all this cliche. I only see hope for web series at the moment.

Starts 2:50

Worst anchor I have ever seen😅 so childish and so escaping😢😢

Karnan flop film
