Thanks Bhardwaj Sir For This Interview. As a matter of fact, I would like to tell that because of Mayyakam Enna I became A Professional Photographer By My Own Without Any Training Or So. It all happened automatically in my mind by visualisation my self as karthik swaminathan. Today I ran a successful business 'Stop & Shot Photography' A Movie Which Changed My Life Huge Respect To Selva Sir & Dhanush 🙏🙏🙏 Thank You So Much
I remember this film for the standing Applause viewers given in Delhi theatre.. It's a good film. Didn't go well with commercial audiences. But, it's best of it's kind. 🙏
This movie has such a special place in my heart.....Thank you for this unexpected gift FC team.....Selva Sir seems to have loosened up quite a bit compared to his earlier interviews which is gud for people like me since this seems more like a therapy session rather than a plain old movie conversation.....Me being in a tough spot both in my personal and professional life that it brought tears to my eyes when he explained about how the universe fights for you if you have struggled enough for ur goals......This movie is for the ages and in my opinion on of the most positive movies from Selva sir..... ❤️❤️❤️
Mayakkam enna - most fav movie of lifetime, which gives lot of hope, positivity, inspiration❤😍. Bgm, music also top notch. This interview superb . Genious selvaraghavan sir👏😍
Thanks for doing this Baddy! We can assume few things of the film but those coming from the creator hits you differently. The film is really an illusion - ❤️❤️❤️ from Telugu States
Divya not letting go of Vinoth to die despite the despicable things he did - He may not be her 'lover', but he certainly has her 'love' (Kaadhal Konden) Kokki Kumar measuring the steps n killing the guy in two massive punches - Survival of the fittest (Pudhupettai) That leaf descending from the heavens slowly n finally ending up on karthik's face - those are the moments u live for in life (Mayakkam Enna) (Karthik begging his role model to tell the world that the photos were taken by him.. 'Saar.. help pannunga Saar.. naa edutha photo nu sollunga saar' ) Anitha slapping Kathir in Men's restroom to ensure he takes it seriously n gets the job - Her making a man out of a boy (7/G Rainbow Colony) The chola king realising who the true saviour is and his people experiencing rain for the first time in their lives - Redemption for an entire glorious clan (Ayirathil Oruvan) No matter what the box office records say.. I'm glad I lived to see the above moments of Selva magic in theatres. No other director has influenced me the way Selva's films have and I guess I can speak for majority from my generation. Selvaraghavan is ❤️❤️❤️
40:00 I think this is the best explanation to feminists who criticize "Mayakkam Enna" Yamini character for putting up with a 'psycho'. Despite Karthik's flaws, Yamini loves him because of his unique character and lack of pretension and believes that some day he will reform himself. She is not powerless like critics say, it is her choice that she likes him the way he is & wants to change him.
I believe that’s the best explanation because she chooses this life, despite having many ways to ditch Karthik. She believes that someday Karthik is a genius and he will achieve success after all the adversities they have gone through. In the end, it very well paid off and I think it was one of the best characters written in Tamil cinema.
Agree! She is a strong character, shown repeatedly. Even when she refuses financial aid for the surgery. She has taken her choice and she sticks to it.
I should type something before I start to see this video. I was in 7th grade when Mayakkam Enna was released. I understood the deep meaning of passion and dedication from this film at a very young age. But my friends at that time used to make fun of this film and they also made fun of me for liking this epic picture. Guess what! Today, the same people (my friends) are celebrating this movie. At times they keep stories and statuses about how nice this film is. I reply "I did tell you!"
Such a beautiful interview about this beautiful movie, especially loved the last part. Thanks to Baddy and film companion for making this happen because ignoring the fact that the movie was released about a decade ago, they still wanted to appreciate this film for what it is, cause it is quite hard to find people talking or appreciating older films which were not talked about during that time. Selvaraghavan - A true Genius(period)
Best ever interview,I never seen before ❣️,way you ask the question and way he answer to the question,just amazing to watch🤩,good learning experience 🙌
It would be very interesting to get a deep focus on Kaadhal Kondein. I remember seeing that movie and feeling my heart stop during the orphanage scenes involving the kids. Really enjoy Selvaraghavan's creative vision while I understand he mostly depicts toxic relationships on screen. The way Yaamini stays with Karthik is very realistic. Empathetic women are attracted to damaged men as they believe they can fix them . If you have a friend or family member in a toxic relationship .. try convincing them to leave that person. They will give you a million reasons such as their partner is amazing during normal times etc. I have also volunteered in a domestic abuse shelter .. my director told me not to be surprised when they went back to their partners. She said I should just focus on providing them resources and a safe space for the time they spent with us.
Mayakam enna looks more like "a beautiful mind" mind movie. A lot in common. Unfortunately I watched it back to back and couldn't enjoyed much. But certainly loved selva's typical signatures all over.
Sir I wish to see if it is possible for you doing deep focus on "Ayirathil Oruvan" as well. Since there so many hidden factors and thesis in it. I would love know how he come to the idea of doing a story based on chola dynasty.
Wish Selva had spoken in Tamil … would have been the best discussion. He would have been able to express and explain himself better … wonder why English 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Hi Baradwaj, how come you thought of reviewing this movie now after so many years....I am sure many people could connect to this movie, because many people have something very similar to this in each of our lives.....but you know selvaraghan is superb......
Wonderful one... but one question I thought that would be more efficient to be decoded... is the scene were karthik character tells Yamini that he had got a offer for a wild life shoot at that shot yamini character wakes up from bed and she will be pregnant... and at the climax when karthik calls yamini and she refuses to talk to her and one of the frnd says "kolandha mattum pethupalam aana pesa maatalam"... after watching that two scenes I was totally into the film that this is karthik and yamini.... I was expecting that stuff.... but anyhow selva sir is a genius....
What if Selva takes on the final phone call from Karthik to Yamini as GVM's KARTHICK DIAL SEITHA EN. If they spoke a single word what it would be? MERCURIAL is my answer reply this if it's interesting with your word
52:30 I believe Yamini hasn’t slept with Sundar. She slept in a side which is too clean and tidy, whereas sundar’s side of the bed is messed up. Dhanush ofcourse looks into it, judges and opines on that idea, makes up his mind that he doesn’t care. But I believe what he understands is that Sundar hasn’t slept with Yamini.
Yamini actually didn't had intercourse with Sundar. I think selva doesn't grasp what he said, which has been the case in several occassions,even in his previous interviews with him. If that was a truth then the character and the motive makes no sense, as in it deviates from the context it established.
I don't know if it's only me ..the pattern in most of the Selva's movies is the male character is mostly flawed ( kadhal konden, 7G , Aairathil oruvan , irandam ulagam , pudhupettai or mayakkam Enna) n less confident , insecure n has so much of angst to do something but living a loser life as he's oppressed ..and it's the Female lead who boosts him ..make him a hero ..or fixes this issues in him.They are mostly confident, sure about what they are doing n the real hero of the movie who makes the story interesting 🤔. Like the trigger or catalyst for the male character's success n in the end doesn't get the required credit. Not sure it's a coincidence or it's just a perspective 🧐.

A Movie Which Changed My Life
Huge Respect To Selva Sir & Dhanush 🙏🙏🙏 Thank You So Much
its great
"written and directed by Selvaraghavan" comes when Dhanush says "ithu ennoda vazhka"
So obviously Karthik is Selvaraghavan !!!!
Idhu engaloda vaazhkkai (He is mentioning all of us)
Nice catch!!
Mayakkam Enna Is Unique.. 😘
Dedicated to All Photographers ❤️
What a movie!!A pure master class of filmmaking!!I believe it is one of the most inspirational movie in South cinema!
Mayakkam Enna one of the finest movie of SelvaRaghavan & Dhanush combo really loved it especially climax 😍
7.7/10
I remember this film for the standing Applause viewers given in Delhi theatre.. It's a good film. Didn't go well with commercial audiences. But, it's best of it's kind. 🙏
It is so difficult to write a character like YAMINI 🖤🖤🖤
This movie has such a special place in my heart.....Thank you for this unexpected gift FC team.....Selva Sir seems to have loosened up quite a bit compared to his earlier interviews which is gud for people like me since this seems more like a therapy session rather than a plain old movie conversation.....Me being in a tough spot both in my personal and professional life that it brought tears to my eyes when he explained about how the universe fights for you if you have struggled enough for ur goals......This movie is for the ages and in my opinion on of the most positive movies from Selva sir..... ❤️❤️❤️
It's surprising there were no discussion about the scene where Yamini cleans the blood stains. It was so raw
Mayakkam enna - most fav movie of lifetime, which gives lot of hope, positivity, inspiration❤😍. Bgm, music also top notch. This interview superb . Genious selvaraghavan sir👏😍
Iraivi has Selvaraghavan touches right, especially the male characters.
😂😂😂
Nope
Mayakkam Enna is an art script 👌
I saw the movie yesterday. Just for this interview. Selva SELVA DHA!
Thanks for doing this Baddy! We can assume few things of the film but those coming from the creator hits you differently. The film is really an illusion - ❤️❤️❤️ from Telugu States
Divya not letting go of Vinoth to die despite the despicable things he did - He may not be her 'lover', but he certainly has her 'love' (Kaadhal Konden)
Kokki Kumar measuring the steps n killing the guy in two massive punches - Survival of the fittest (Pudhupettai)
That leaf descending from the heavens slowly n finally ending up on karthik's face - those are the moments u live for in life (Mayakkam Enna)
(Karthik begging his role model to tell the world that the photos were taken by him.. 'Saar.. help pannunga Saar.. naa edutha photo nu sollunga saar' )
Anitha slapping Kathir in Men's restroom to ensure he takes it seriously n gets the job - Her making a man out of a boy (7/G Rainbow Colony)
The chola king realising who the true saviour is and his people experiencing rain for the first time in their lives - Redemption for an entire glorious clan (Ayirathil Oruvan)
No matter what the box office records say.. I'm glad I lived to see the above moments of Selva magic in theatres. No other director has influenced me the way Selva's films have and I guess I can speak for majority from my generation. Selvaraghavan is ❤️❤️❤️
GV Prakash did a fantastic job with the music of this movie.
Mayakkamenna is a movie which soo much close to my heart

Mayakkam enna is one of the best made films ever....
Happy birthday @selvaragavan sir genius
One of the best interviews I have seen in this channel, so engaging. Well written set of questions, throughly researched. Loved it.
I felt the touch of “The beautiful mind” when I watched Mayakkam Enna
I should type something before I start to see this video. I was in 7th grade when Mayakkam Enna was released. I understood the deep meaning of passion and dedication from this film at a very young age. But my friends at that time used to make fun of this film and they also made fun of me for liking this epic picture. Guess what! Today, the same people (my friends) are celebrating this movie.

Master craftsman talking about his best work.......Spl film from Spl Selva
Thank you so much for this wonderful conversation about a film which is very close to my heart
Never going to find another interview that even comes close to this one.
It would be very interesting to get a deep focus on Kaadhal Kondein. I remember seeing that movie and feeling my heart stop during the orphanage scenes involving the kids.
Really enjoy Selvaraghavan's creative vision while I understand he mostly depicts toxic relationships on screen. The way Yaamini stays with Karthik is very realistic.

Mayakam enna looks more like "a beautiful mind" mind movie. A lot in common. Unfortunately I watched it back to back and couldn't enjoyed much. But certainly loved selva's typical signatures all over.
Selva Raghavan ❤️Mayakkam enna ❤️Yamini ❤️
Thankyou FCS and BR for this interview!
Nice intellectual conversational interaction
Sir I wish to see if it is possible for you doing deep focus on "Ayirathil Oruvan" as well. Since there so many hidden factors and thesis in it. I would love know how he come to the idea of doing a story based on chola dynasty.
Wish Selva had spoken in Tamil … would have been the best discussion. He would have been able to express and explain himself better … wonder why English 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
FC South

YESSSSSSSS!
Amazed ! BR sir 💖 TYSM
This man is genius 🙏🔥🤍
Happy Birthday Genius!
I'm crying 56 to 57
He is a Saint 🧚♀️💜🙂
Hi Baradwaj, how come you thought of reviewing this movie now after so many years....I am sure many people could connect to this movie, because many people have something very similar to this in each of our lives.....but you know selvaraghan is superb......
I had a nice time watching this Interview :)
Selva the legend
Wonderful one... but one question I thought that would be more efficient to be decoded... is the scene were karthik character tells Yamini that he had got a offer for a wild life shoot at that shot yamini character wakes up from bed and she will be pregnant... and at the climax when karthik calls yamini and she refuses to talk to her and one of the frnd says "kolandha mattum pethupalam aana pesa maatalam"... after watching that two scenes I was totally into the film that this is karthik and yamini.... I was expecting that stuff.... but anyhow selva sir is a genius....
Genius 😍😍😍
Hpy bday sir 🔥🔥🔥❤️
my favorite movie
YES
Worth for watching this video ♥️🔥
Very good questions
Hpy bday thalaivaaa
What if Selva takes on the final phone call from Karthik to Yamini as GVM's KARTHICK DIAL SEITHA EN.
If they spoke a single word what it would be?
MERCURIAL is my answer reply this if it's interesting with your word
Selva sir please release Mayakkam Enna deleted scenes 🙏😇❤️
#Genius Selva ❤️
Selva expecting AO2 ...waiting ..you r genius ...do that again ....sir.....English tomb raider eh chinna vayasula AO la parthaen
52:30 I believe Yamini hasn’t slept with Sundar. She slept in a side which is too clean and tidy, whereas sundar’s side of the bed is messed up. Dhanush ofcourse looks into it, judges and opines on that idea, makes up his mind that he doesn’t care. But I believe what he understands is that Sundar hasn’t slept with Yamini.
Genuis
Nice
Birthday Treat 🎂🎁
It,s like 2 deep thinkers conversate! 👍
Unakke konjam Over ra teriyallaya simran.
I think Selva is villan of Beast movie
Happy b'day selva
6:20 the girl is not just some oorga 😂 I've heard it all from BR.
Yamini actually didn't had intercourse with Sundar. I think selva doesn't grasp what he said, which has been the case in several occassions,even in his previous interviews with him. If that was a truth then the character and the motive makes no sense, as in it deviates from the context it established.
Selva! ❤️
Loved your conversation
தமிழ்ல பேசியிருந்தால் நமக்கும் புரிஞ்சிருக்கும்....
எனக்கு அப்படித்தான் இருந்தது ஆனால் புரிஞ்சுக்க முடிஞ்சது
Selva sir used very easy language dude.
Ungaluku mattum than purinjirukum.
Baddy s so excited
May be it would have been a film like ??? Can somebody please tell me what film Selvaragavan sir tells at 59.20??
Please add subtitles for old interviews..
Please provide subtitles
Do deepfocus with ksravi Kumar for panchathanthiram
Selva would be more careful this time...🤣😘😭
🤣🤣🤣 releases neraiya irukula 😅 vai vitta avlo thaa
I don't know if it's only me ..the pattern in most of the Selva's movies is the male character is mostly flawed ( kadhal konden, 7G , Aairathil oruvan , irandam ulagam , pudhupettai or mayakkam Enna) n less confident , insecure n has so much of angst to do something but living a loser life as he's oppressed ..and it's the Female lead who boosts him ..make him a hero ..or fixes this issues in him.They are mostly confident, sure about what they are doing n the real hero of the movie who makes the story interesting 🤔. Like the trigger or catalyst for the male character's success n in the end doesn't get the required credit. Not sure it's a coincidence or it's just a perspective 🧐.
40.00 Seriously women find people like Karthik in this film is more interesting than a normal guy who give roses ? 🤣
Definitely Definitely Definitely Definitely not...not at allllllll
tamil la irrunthurukalam 🥲🔥🔥🔥but 🔥🔥🔥
When was this interview possibly filmed?
