Film Companion, a genuine request. Please please do a writer's roundtable. Because no good movie would exist if the writer wouldn't have put his heart and soul into creating its Universe. It's high time writers get their due. They do the most, and are rewarded the least.
Yes they now did....but I was really sad after that interview as writer's are really disappointed and dissatisfied by asshole producers who counts money on songs and etc....I mean seriously shit man what about the content??
Bahubali was the awakening for the creators that we Indians can make big budget epics with good content but no one has understood that behind all the facade of CGI and Big sets is a good written script and story worth telling
The movie going audiences and the serial watching audiences are not the same! I wished Ekta would have made the Naagin movie so that she could see the general feedback and not be delusional just because the serial is considered a hit
FUN FACT:- At 13:31 when Karan says" 'Anil' is in Ulhasnagar ..." That very Anil is Anil Multiplex on Anil Chanchlani.. Father of Ashish Chanchlani.. socha bata dun😂
U really can't say soty2 was a comercially flop coz it did fine numbers at box office... Also I agree that the content was too old... But we made it successful... Then let's not blame him for that... So... RIP us😟😟😟
Last Friday, Anupama ranted about Dabangg 3 investing so much of money on a script like that in her D3 review, and today, she brought Karan in the producers table for making films like SOTY2 and Kalank last year. Jokes apart, I have serious concerns about how long we can take FC reviews, analysis, Addas, Commentaries to be unbiased when comes to people like Karan Johar, Deepika, etc. because all of them belong to a common platform MAMI. And how this year MAMI had shaped up, from making Deepika the chairperson to discuss a film like Chennai Express in an Internation Film Festival to Alia and Karana Johar reducing the dice to their typic Koffe Show, phew. And including a just decent enough Deepika in Piku in the Top 25 Performances of the decade over terrific Richa Chaddha in Masaan & GOW, Geetanjali Thapa in Liar's Dice, Kalki Koechlin in Margarita with a Straw, Priyanka in Barfi, etc., further raises my worries
Very good point! Mediocrity seems to be praised on FC platforms as excellent work. When industries abroad are producing the kind of content that they are! I mean Korea made Parasite and Senegal made a movie like Atlantics, what is India’s excuse?!
I think Karan gets too much hatred than he deserves. He has backed up some good content like Kesari, Raazi, Kapoor and Sons, but people only remember SOTY 2 or Kalank.
because launching star kids costs zero as they are not given any salary. the film is immediately sold to amazon prime etc and they recover the money immediately...
I don't understand why Dinesh and Srishti are even on the table 🤔💁♀️ All questions are at the disposal of Ekta's and KJo's POV only! Of course, they are adding bites but if its a Round table, then it should conform to the format 🙄
It took 6 years for Sohum Shah to give us a masterpiece like Tumbbad, where both acted and produced. An FC having Karan for churning out trash like SOTY2, Kalank and Drive. FC has become PR to sell mediocrity of Karan, Deepika, etc. all part of MAMI, which they successfully reduced to Koffe show
It's also about demand. We will have to accept that we are in the minority here. A video with Deepika, KJos will have more views and that is what matters to channels. People like Sohum will have to join the 'gang', hire the same PR team and then he'll be showcased. Sad but true.
Totally agree. Film companion lost me when they replied to my comment saying Shaheen's Bhatt's first time book is "popular culture" same as Kaam Bhaari's work.
Every time Ekta kapoor says something about 'content' 😂😅She has single handedly ruined Indian television and she thinks she's got content on Alt balaji ?? 🤷🤷
Even in tamilnadu they dubbed that serial and telecasted it was a huge success main reason it was even watched by youth .....after naagin other serials in tamilnadu too come with a same lustful scenes termed them as a romance....they forgot the fact that television serials were watched mostly by family audiences......
what i observed in Producer's adda in last couple of years is that what they speak here has no connection to the content they deliver.... KJo ideas in these addas and his opinions are so good but what he produces has no connection to what his ideas are...

It's time Bollywood concentrates on scripts even more than achieving magnanimity like Bahubali with every other film. There are good films being made now, yes but the percentage that it holds in comparison to the trash (no script) movies is hardly noticeable. Audience is growing wiser now & would prefer story over A list actors to go see a film

You may not like Ekta Kapoor, but she certainly showed us that female-led movie The Dirty Picture can do massive numbers and I believe that she can break the 200 crore mark with female lead soon.
See...bahubhali was one. Trying to ape or going through that path requires you to be rooted. You have to let go off that inhibition and sanitisation. The story needs to be raw. Bahubhali did well but that doesn't mean ppl ll watch films of that sort only. South industry is huge and has quality cinema. See Malyalam industry and the wonderful films they make. It is coz they let go off vanity and show the relatable content.
I watched a clip which was from an indian (probably historical) movie which honestly was really funny. A man and a girl with sword were fighting each other. Dude tried to kill her but she beheaded him by her sword but the headless man still could move and run and killed her and ladies who were standing at her front with his spear! Also danced out of victory while being headless!! I really don't know what kind of a crap I watched but as I heard it was a south Indian movie and when people say south has better movies I get confused!! As it was not the only hilarious moment of a movie I saw!
@@narsis273 not every south Indian movies it was Telugu tollywood industry part of south Indian movies.....but now a days Telugu cinema started making world class movies like bahubaali,c/o of kancharapalam....
WRITERS ADDA PLEASEEEE! When everyone is talking about the importance of content, who better than writers themselves to discuss the evolution of content?!
I know Ra.One didn't pan out the way we anticipated but you can't deny that such risks were taken in Hindi cinema. While they were not nearly as successful as some stuff from the south, Bollywood still definitely took massive risks.
Wish people would start respecting South Indian films more, the content is so great , so no surprise that they are doing well. South Cinema is not a regional and Hindi cinema is not the main form for films. Instead of remaking south films why not just promote people in north to watch them in intended form.
That moment when Ekta finishes talking about " Naagin" and everybody ignores it and gives zero reaction !!! Even Anupama brushes it off like a Pro !!!😂😂😂😂
Ekta in 2017 - want to make 200cr female led film Ekta in 2018 - want to make 200cr female led film Ekta in 2019 - want to make 200cr female led film 2021 has come but no such movie came from her
Srishti should've been brought in more as digital would be shaping the next decade. Would be interesting to know what type of content worked on the platform and Netflix's strategy going forward. A 'Digital Adda' is something that FC can add with top actors,producers and directors from shows released on such platforms.
Karan had apologized for having a song like Chikni Chamaili associated to his name... and he then had that kriti sanon song in kalank... and he is again apologizing for Chikni Chamaili 🙄
Film Companion is really an underrated channel. The movie masters come and share their thoughts and plans in this platform which is a huge takeaway to the ones interested or working currently with the movie industry. Sincere thanks towards Anupama Chopra for this amazing channel. #keepingupwiththecuriosity
I love Karan Johar Business Ideas its really give help to run own business. THANKS TO YOU FOR BRINGING KARAN JOHAR ON YOUR SHOW. ITS REQUEST MAKE MORE EPISODES OF KARAN JOHAR. SAY THANKS TO KARAN FOR EXCELLENT IDEAS AND REALLY IN GOOD WAY TO PRESENTS.

Come on Anu ....Do it 👍
When a bad movie doesn't do well, people find all sorts of excuses. I remember a reviewer writing about a movie, the heroine's hairstyle spooked the audience. So yes, length is never the issue. A talented person can say the story in a 2 minute advert and easily in a 3 hour long movie. There are bad ads and bad movies. It's the content that decides the quality otherwise Salman's movies would all be masterpieces lol
Absolutely love how intelligent and enriching this conversation is. From trends to perceptions and responsible film making. Trust Film Companion to churn out incredible content like this, always! :)
So much of this feels like rationalizing something that already happened... when a movie does well, there are many explanations. What would be more interesting is to hear these producers maybe predict how 2020 would go and to see if things actually play out that way.
We all know that's never happening because Bollywood is a close gated Industry. Regional Cinema is cut throat. Especially down South. Malayalm is the engine of creativity. However most of their better movies are not even watched by their own people
I would not be that pessimistic... excellence shines through all this noise. Audiences seem to be demanding more and more good content and creators will either have to step up their game or perish. Re: Malayalam cinema, OTT platforms are making these movies accessible to audiences beyond those in the state and most Malayalees I have met are incredibly proud of the cinema that comes from there
@@sadiaraveendran8070 Exactly. I'm thankful because Malayalm has the best content. Their films were so ahead of their times. But their Audience is so limited it never became popular beyond their state. And even with the Advent of OTT, we won't be appreciate their movies in 2019 when some movie was launched in 1990. It's like two generations of wasted Cinema. Perhaps we can start to follow their cinema going forward, but the Elitist nature of Bollywood's power clubs prevented genuine competition. Even now someone like an Ekta Kapoor has a means to reach the OTT Audience, and yet remains blissfully unaware of a movie like Super Deluxe ( 46:15 ) and its director Thayagaraja Kumaraja. Even the Audience is not mature enough in Hindi to appreciate quality Cinema. The ones that do are a vocal Minority online. But Bhai on Eid still rakes in the moolahs. For example someone like Karthik Subbaraj directed a movie like Pizza, that was a raging hit in TN, but no one even bothered to watch it in Bollywood, even after the dubbing. The effects of sub standard regional Cinemas like Bhojpuri and Punjabi also have an add on effect. Even though Mumbai is much closer to the South, it has more avenues for a Punjabi or a Bhojpuri artist than a Southern Artist because of cultural closeness of those cultures and also the support for a Regressive mindset that objectifies the female role. A few exceptions will exist but Hindi and it's allied industries are brain dead.
True. But That's not the type of "rom-com" he was talking about. Ofcourse there is a small love story in every film, but he was talking about IHateLuvStorys type rom-coms.
For all the people here slamming ekta Kapoor, very conveniently forget,she also produced movies like dirty picture, LSD, shor in the city,ek villain, lootera among others. Yes she's made some terrible stuff too. But she's earned her place at the table. Whether you like it or not,she did make herself an empire in the television industry like no other woman has. So chill out guys. Jeez.
All d honorable guests deserve to b here for d wonderful work dey have in d field of entertainment.. karan johar has a spectacular vocabulary.. always been a fan of his work n his words too...
Hello Anupama Maim. U had told that only one hindi film featured in top 5 films of decade. I'm partially agree with it. My point is whether Bahubali was created by South director but as an audience we have seen in Hindi. Now every movie comes with so many languages, it is not to say that any movie is regional or international. Visual is itself a medium. If you deduct the gross amount of earning of Bahubali from hindi audience in hindi language, u can find the proper place of Bahubali. My simple argument is if I watches a movie in hindi, I don't care whether it is dub or whatsoever. Hopeful that u understand my point.
Which was the film that defined the year 2019 for you? Tell us below!
Chhichhore and War.

Ekta Kapoor is whats wrong with todays world.
Gandi Baat and Kardashians world
See...bahubhali was one. Trying to ape or going through that path requires you to be rooted. You have to let go off that inhibition and sanitisation. The story needs to be raw. Bahubhali did well but that doesn't mean ppl ll watch films of that sort only. South industry is huge and has quality cinema. See Malyalam industry and the wonderful films they make. It is coz they let go off vanity and show the relatable content.
I watched a clip which was from an indian (probably historical) movie which honestly was really funny. A man and a girl with sword were fighting each other. Dude tried to kill her but she beheaded him by her sword but the headless man still could move and run and killed her and ladies who were standing at her front with his spear! Also danced out of victory while being headless!! I really don't know what kind of a crap I watched but as I heard it was a south Indian movie and when people say south has better movies I get confused!! As it was not the only hilarious moment of a movie I saw!
@@narsis273 south has both quality and all these ott movies too.
@@narsis273 not every south Indian movies it was Telugu tollywood industry part of south Indian movies.....but now a days Telugu cinema started making world class movies like bahubaali,c/o of kancharapalam....
tamil whatsapp status But The movie he was referring is Chandramukhi which is a tamil film.
Dinesh not remake films
He remake songs😂
Thank you anupama for inviting karan johar because he always speaks well articulate. Disappointed anurag is not included
I revisit this round table everytime i feel like brushing up on "filmy" trade & business!
Please have a writers roundtable too. After all, they are the ones who envision the story first.😊
WRITERS ADDA PLEASEEEE! When everyone is talking about the importance of content, who better than writers themselves to discuss the evolution of content?!
Ekta Kapoor: if you remake a south TV series but you change everything, then it is not a remake.
Which show she was talking about?
What Bala did with music blew mr away! I will watch it just for the background score and music.
I know Ra.One didn't pan out the way we anticipated but you can't deny that such risks were taken in Hindi cinema. While they were not nearly as successful as some stuff from the south, Bollywood still definitely took massive risks.
This is one of the intelligent and informative roundtable I've come across.
Watching it again I'm 2022.
I remember a love story becoming successful Last year 96 .
Wish people would start respecting South Indian films more, the content is so great , so no surprise that they are doing well. South Cinema is not a regional and Hindi cinema is not the main form for films. Instead of remaking south films why not just promote people in north to watch them in intended form.
Because south movies release in 1 or 2 state mostly hindi movies release countrywide it has nothing to do with disrespecting regional movies
That moment when Ekta finishes talking about " Naagin" and everybody ignores it and gives zero reaction !!! Even Anupama brushes it off like a Pro !!!😂😂😂😂
I wanna know who are these people Karan is referring to ??
Ekta in 2017 - want to make 200cr female led film
Ekta in 2018 - want to make 200cr female led film
Ekta in 2019 - want to make 200cr female led film
2021 has come but no such movie came from her
Srishti should've been brought in more as digital would be shaping the next decade. Would be interesting to know what type of content worked on the platform and Netflix's strategy going forward.
A 'Digital Adda' is something that FC can add with top actors,producers and directors from shows released on such platforms.
There's another video with her and other people on OTT on FC
Karan had apologized for having a song like Chikni Chamaili associated to his name... and he then had that kriti sanon song in kalank... and he is again apologizing for Chikni Chamaili 🙄
He is the biggest hypocrite and even his film Brothers (2015) had an item number named " Mera naam Mary hai " ..that was after chikni chameli ..
Forgive him....Jo Bikta hai Vahi Dikhta hai......Blame Audience
Audience watch these kinds of songs that's why these kinds of songs are their in movies
He had said in one of the FC interview that Kalank would be the last Dharma film to feature an item song.
the versatility that is quite palpable amongst these filmmakers is the reason we experience varied content. Thank God!
Please do a comedians adda
Nilesh And invite Nitti Palta. She is so brilliant.
invite kapil sharma
Bollywood has no comedians anymore
@@vinayprasad8520 i am talking about Zakir and Biswa etc; they did one comedians adda 2 years ago like that.
I guess u didn't heard about Naginn 😂😂
Man I love Karan Johar. I could listen to him talking about anything
Ekkta Kapoor killed TV and now she is killing Movies too
Not ekta the dumb audience killed it😞
Ekta nailed it. Lot of ppl didn't get Dirty Picture, just like how they didn't get Kabir Singh.
Film Companion is really an underrated channel. The movie masters come and share their thoughts and plans in this platform which is a huge takeaway to the ones interested or working currently with the movie industry. Sincere thanks towards Anupama Chopra for this amazing channel. #keepingupwiththecuriosity
Thank You 🙏🏼Ekta for *NOT* making Naagin 🐍
Thank the actresses who disagreed
Karan Johar is such an intellectual conversationalist . Just love to listen to him..
Too bad he is too much of a coward to practice what he preaches.
I love Karan Johar Business Ideas its really give help to run own business. THANKS TO YOU FOR BRINGING KARAN JOHAR ON YOUR SHOW. ITS REQUEST MAKE MORE EPISODES OF KARAN JOHAR. SAY THANKS TO KARAN FOR EXCELLENT IDEAS AND REALLY IN GOOD WAY TO PRESENTS.

Come on Anu ....Do it 👍
Length is not the issue
2 hrs 15 min film Jhms was boring as hell
3 hrs movie Endgame ROCKED !!
Kabir Singh also
When a bad movie doesn't do well, people find all sorts of excuses. I remember a reviewer writing about a movie, the heroine's hairstyle spooked the audience. So yes, length is never the issue. A talented person can say the story in a 2 minute advert and easily in a 3 hour long movie. There are bad ads and bad movies. It's the content that decides the quality otherwise Salman's movies would all be masterpieces lol
@@supernovalass true
You can't compare endgame with any movie. The budget was huge but the enthusiasm for the movie I don't think can ever be recreated
Absolutely love how intelligent and enriching this conversation is. From trends to perceptions and responsible film making. Trust Film Companion to churn out incredible content like this, always! :)
So much of this feels like rationalizing something that already happened... when a movie does well, there are many explanations. What would be more interesting is to hear these producers maybe predict how 2020 would go and to see if things actually play out that way.
We all know that's never happening because Bollywood is a close gated Industry. Regional Cinema is cut throat. Especially down South. Malayalm is the engine of creativity. However most of their better movies are not even watched by their own people
I would not be that pessimistic... excellence shines through all this noise. Audiences seem to be demanding more and more good content and creators will either have to step up their game or perish. Re: Malayalam cinema, OTT platforms are making these movies accessible to audiences beyond those in the state and most Malayalees I have met are incredibly proud of the cinema that comes from there
@@sadiaraveendran8070 Exactly. I'm thankful because Malayalm has the best content. Their films were so ahead of their times. But their Audience is so limited it never became popular beyond their state.
And even with the Advent of OTT, we won't be appreciate their movies in 2019 when some movie was launched in 1990.
It's like two generations of wasted Cinema.
Perhaps we can start to follow their cinema going forward, but the Elitist nature of Bollywood's power clubs prevented genuine competition.
Even now someone like an Ekta Kapoor has a means to reach the OTT Audience, and yet remains blissfully unaware of a movie like Super Deluxe ( 46:15 ) and its director Thayagaraja Kumaraja.
Even the Audience is not mature enough in Hindi to appreciate quality Cinema. The ones that do are a vocal Minority online. But Bhai on Eid still rakes in the moolahs.
For example someone like Karthik Subbaraj directed a movie like Pizza, that was a raging hit in TN, but no one even bothered to watch it in Bollywood, even after the dubbing.
The effects of sub standard regional Cinemas like Bhojpuri and Punjabi also have an add on effect.
Even though Mumbai is much closer to the South, it has more avenues for a Punjabi or a Bhojpuri artist than a Southern Artist because of cultural closeness of those cultures and also the support for a Regressive mindset that objectifies the female role.
A few exceptions will exist but Hindi and it's allied industries are brain dead.
Karan hating on his own cinema is a bit sad, I loved those stories and if a K3G2 is made will definitely watch.
I love Karan Johar interview its give lots of knowledge of to run business. Its request please more interview of Karan Johar
Bollywood will never be the same like the 1990s/2000s 💗
To answer Karan's question, the recent love story film was made is Student Of The Year 2 😁😁😁
True. But That's not the type of "rom-com" he was talking about. Ofcourse there is a small love story in every film, but he was talking about IHateLuvStorys type rom-coms.
@@abhaymathur9332 how did you like that movie?
ekta kapoor ruined the whole discussion
karan johar, my respect to you for accepting and adaptating towards the reality to make you better.
For all the people here slamming ekta Kapoor, very conveniently forget,she also produced movies like dirty picture, LSD, shor in the city,ek villain, lootera among others. Yes she's made some terrible stuff too. But she's earned her place at the table. Whether you like it or not,she did make herself an empire in the television industry like no other woman has. So chill out guys. Jeez.
who else wants to see a K3G Part 2? 💗
"Delusion" has to change- also for the ones who are sitting here :)
Just realized all movies they are talking about with good content are Ayushman’s movies.. his selection is on point
47:00 Karan Johar about Atlee and "Bigil!!!!! Proud to be a Vijay fan!
Thalaivaaa...
but now atlee will come with srk and bollywood will blast
All d honorable guests deserve to b here for d wonderful work dey have in d field of entertainment.. karan johar has a spectacular vocabulary.. always been a fan of his work n his words too...
Half of the credit of ANDADHUN should go to HEMANTH M RAO who is a very talented young director from Kannada film industry
Also, I love that these established producers are ready to admit that they are still learning and admitting their mistakes.
Hello Anupama Maim.
U had told that only one hindi film featured in top 5 films of decade.
I'm partially agree with it. My point is whether Bahubali was created by South director but as an audience we have seen in Hindi. Now every movie comes with so many languages, it is not to say that any movie is regional or international.
Visual is itself a medium.
If you deduct the gross amount of earning of Bahubali from hindi audience in hindi language, u can find the proper place of Bahubali.
My simple argument is if I watches a movie in hindi, I don't care whether it is dub or whatsoever.
Hopeful that u understand my point.
