This meeting is like Chicken Biryani without chicken .. Nana Patekar is missing
Nana Patekar sir, in PARINDA like 🔥🙌🏻
Nana got a national award for that movie. Discussing this movie without discussing Nana's character is blasphemy. The panelist should be ashamed.
Intentionally…. Jalta hai majnu😅
Why is Nana Patekar missing. Parinda would never have been a masterpiece without him.
Nana and Vidhu doesn't share a positive relationship that's why
Absolutely, the true standout performer in Parinda was Nana Patekar, whose commanding presence and powerful performance overshadowed the entire star cast. Despite this, his contribution remains underappreciated, highlighting either the hypocrisy or arrogance of those who fail to acknowledge his brilliance. Nana Patekar's absence would render any tribute incomplete. Moreover, the emergence of real, impactful actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Manoj Bajpayee owes a great deal to the path paved by Nana Patekar's remarkable success. Audiences continue to crave performers of his caliber and authenticity
Parinda is surely one of the finest films ever made in India.It's a masterpiece of Indian Cinema, which should not be only limited to be given a cult classic status, but it deserves much more than that, bcoz of absolutely magical direction,brilliant screenplay, perfect editing, superb cinematography,hard-hitting dialogues with power-packed performances, and the fact which is most striking is immaculate sound effect which was something new for the movies made in that era, and which actually started a trend to give the movie a seriously realistic effect.So,basically Parinda was a complete package and probably one of the first movies which gave equal weightage to both the commercial and parallel aspect of cinema.
So true
I have not seen a movie like Parinda. It was ahead of its time. It started the trend of film noir with main cast in grey shade( Jackie sir) here.
vidhu vinod chopra from bombay, and mani ratnam from madras: true gems of the 80s/90s.
Absolutely agree
You probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
Parinda is one of the Finest Hindi film ever made...exceptional movie. Loved it
A 15:58 anil nudging Jackie on his right hand to speak in formal way and appropriately he switches back to social character that puts on......great fraternity between both...
In the entire scene between Nana Patekar and Jacky schroff, Not even a single word by Jacky Schroff, only expressions
Candid discussion from all the participants. Especially Jackie Shroff. He's priceless.
Anupama, you should do Satya with RGV, Anurag Kashyap, Manoj Bajpai and Kallu Maaaaaaaaaaamaaaa :)
Mumbai Ka king Bhiku matre
SJK GANESH Sahi bola
YESSSSSSSSS PLSSSSSSSSSS
Yes Anupama do this plz
Jaggu Dada is one heck of a character.. he is so funny and natural...
He's just honest and that is a great trait to have in his industry
right
He's Not. Look at him here and in other lousy comedy gags . He is behaving totally different here.
Jokes apart, how fascinating to relive the struggles and laugh at it.
All are living legends for me, I would love to go and watch these guys talk for hours.
Anurag is so inquisitive, just like a child, learning from a teacher, that's the reason he's such a great film maker.
yes you are absolutely right 😊
True sir
true
1:57 listen what Chopra has said....
That's why Anand L Rai once said "There're no bad actors ; only bad directors" 👏🙏
How can you discuss parinda without nana patekar?
Right
Jhagda ho gya tbse batchit band hai Nana ki vidhu se
Because of the fight with nana.
Agreed No Parinda Without Nana
they showed how for like 20 minutes 😊
Amazing movie... I remember it's all dialogues. Still today.... This movie always helps me when I am upset and need the escape..... Jackie dada has been my love ever since.
This is far much better than koffee with Karan... Absolutely love such candid conversation..wonder who didn't like this and why ?
This was extremely interesting..... I hope more of such interviews, rather than those absurd 'who is your favorite Khan' kinda star interviews !!
Parinda yet again :)
Nana Patekar and Madhuri Dixit are missed.
The film was hard hitting..emotionally raw.
I believe Jackie Shroff won a firmware for his role. :)

Firmware is programming that's written to the read-only memory (ROM) of a computing device. Firmware, which is added at the time of manufacturing, is used to run user programs on the device.
Yes
Alap Nana Patekar sir won National Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role
Parinda, one of the finest film of the Hindi cinema. Love it it every time I watch it. Enjoyed every bit of this conversation, never wanted it to end.
So heart warming listening to these stories and incidents from the past.. I love this approach where it's informal and a chatting session than the usual 'rapid fire' or 'never have I ever' type interviews.. Well done team!
Jackie is such a genuine person...and Vidhu trusted him with such an emotionally draining role!
Oos zamane Mai chhup k films dekhta tha.... jab Maine ye film dekha meri hosh udd gayi thi.... what a fantabulously well made movie it was.... main hamesha se Vidhu ji ka fan raha hu..... aap se aur bhi great movies ki khwahishgaan hu. God bless you always Sir ❤
I imagine that last time when Jackie Shroff spoke in a proper Hindi language without using any tapori word like bhidu Bawa
It’s hard to imagine anyone other than Jackie Shroff in the role of Kishen but then again Naseeruddin Shah would have been electric.
Parinda is brilliant ParIndia mein Jayaadaa Chalna Chaiye thaa
What a film 📽️ hat's off to Vidhu vinod Chopra..
Actual Jackie speaks very good English ! But because he has seen it all he doesn’t bother to pretend and be a classy guy ! But he must be a real gentleman!
Essential viewing for any cinema-lover!

I just want to say the movie - PARINDA uff kya bolu it's a one and only movie of BOLLYWOOD aisa picture aur nahi ban sakta yaar ek ek scene , music background music uff , character of two brothers , feeling of both the brothers pretending - caring -loving aggressive - mind blowing every dialogue of both the brothers uff Jacky was amazing in the role elder brother n anil was fantastic in younger brother , when Jacky says laake de mera bachpan screaming n shouting omg what a scene it's a true feelings which I feel when I was fighting with my brother . I salute you Mr. Vinod n all ur team 🙏
Acting of Nana patekarji in khamosh and parinda was the best.
Finally a channel that is interested in Hindi Cinema filmmaking and Bollywood artists. Great job!
+Kartikeya Dutta Thank you Kartikeya - do help to spread the word - Anupama.
@FilmCompanionStudios sexy
But not in Hindi language - only Jacky keeping it alive.
Outstanding conversation on films.
Vidhu v chopra
Jackie shroff
Anil kapoor
Anurag kashyap
👍
Wow!! ❤😊 Loved them already for "Parinda", really wanted THIS to happen! (BUT in "Broken Horses", that were Anil, Nana, Madhuri, Jaggu, Suresh Oberoi, Tom Adler, Kher & RD PUNCHAM missing, so failed creating the same magic!) Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰💖 ✨
If only Jaggu Dada could be like this in his films . He starts acting there 😢
Parinda and many other film in which nana work belongs to NANA sir his acting and dialogues delivery are the highlights of the film.🙏🏻😷
Parinda briliant scene ..when madhu n anil killed n jackie walk so weakly returning nana banglow wow wow
Jackie shroff is bad ass. Love this guys attitude ☺️
Jackie shroff good actor
I watched Parinda today and what a bloody good movie it is 😮
Anil sir is the soul of parinda movie
Gr8 legend Nana should have been in this discussion
Even few film old at the time of Parinda Mr. Nana Patekar delivered outstanding exllent performance by everyone is praising. What a strength man.
I wish this was longer! So entertaining, and so much to learn! Wish Jackie could speak more on the last scene of "Parinda". But I guess things like great acting cannot be explained, or analyzed! It happens in the moment. Jackie Shroff was so powerful in the climax.
Absolutely Right. . So much to learn. . . Absorbing something from there into inside ourselves ; but clearly don't know what. . . .
love this interview, respect for all - Anurag, Vidhu, Anil, Jackie!
ya
Anurag kashyap and Javed Akhtar are very precious jewels of Bollywood/Hindi film industry
Parinda is the kind of movie you would believe its made in today's day and age and its very hard to fathom that it was a 1989 film. More than the performances it was the cinematography and background score that made the film stand out.
Very Rarely I have seen Anurag Kashyap just sitting back and LISTENING rather than ranting about his own...
Last scene in jacky sir's best performance, "silence speaks louder than words" ❤❤❤
As a 17 year old watched PARINDA four times in the cinema theatre.
What a film !!!
I come here once a month to listen to VVC :).. That Parinda first line bit.. always kills me!!
Bloody brilliant! Thankyou for sharing these insightful discussions with us.... Looking forward to more
It is funny how nostalgia makes you like actors you didn't like as a youngster.
Hmm..interesting observation..perhaps true as well for many..
Jaggu speaks so fluent english
I just finished watching this movie and it is a brilliant movie. I would recommend everyone should watch this movie to see the real talent of Vidhu Vinod Chopra. What a brilliant filmmaker he is. 👏
i still watch the re runs till today. what a story this is and what a film parinda is
I loved Vinod ji's journey and it's so crazy and funny. Jackie dada is really underated. Anil we all love. But Jackie dada is something else. Lots of love to Vidhu ji and all on this show. 🎉❤
From A continuous film student.
Its amazing that you have not just stuck to reviewing films and have actually gone a step further. I love movies and would watch any discussion based on the Hindi movies,so this seems to be a very apt channel for me :) Keep the videos coming!
Parinda....one of the master piece by Vinod Chopra......
I love anil sir and jackie shroff soooooo Nice voice eyes everthing good b f
Jaggu Dada love you...!!!
This session confirms the notion that the finest movies made in India are made on shoestring budget and always difficult to sell. Look at Khamosh
very true!!
AD Zad Rae's
Mayank Rathore Rocky balboa
How's the movie Khamosh ? Heard first time
@ifasal7449 great film ...
It's so much to learn from the big stars ,I wish u guys made much longer videos
Parinda was probably first & last movie we ever had which focused on physiological violence instead of physical one. That's why this movie is standout one.
I love jaky sir ....😂 Grt gardish, parinda, angaar
Anil Kapoor is smart and fashionable.
Lovely chat ❤
Jaggu Dada is effortlessly funny.😂🔥
jaggoo added life !!!
if Jackie Shroff says "Mereko acting wacting nahi aata, tu sambhal lena". He is so humble and down to earth.
ya very nice person and humble jackie shroff
😊
This is a awesome interview to watch and to hear about wonderful behind stories of wonderful movies from these awesome actors and a artistic director, which are made and portrayed by them and they share their experience.
Thank you Film Companion for bringing inside stories about such classics. Wanna see more of such sorts.
It is apparent that all 3 share a great bond even today :)..another exception in today's world of films.
the Legend Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Rockstars all 4 !
Thanks Vinod for making a film for an angsty teen to go to as a warm bed in cold November night.
VC & jaggu dada were hilarious
What a history to remember.
Parinda is the masterpiece of Indian cinema
Love you Anil kapoor sir.... The real superstar.....
Karan johar should learn a thing from anupama about how the chat shows should be. This is such an interesting stuff and people would definitely want to hear it, getting to know how much effort goes into the film-making process. Rather karan keeps asking bullshit question on whose dating who which even the celebs dont want to answer!
Parinda was a powerful movie. An excellent movie very well edited.
Jaggu gives the best answers
too much talent in one frame.
Jaggu is a real star.... Pure
Very nice. Loved hearing Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
these 3 can again create such noir magic again with nana such bonding they have
This movie I have seen in my colleague days after bunk lecter with friends and at after we discussed only that last scene of Madhuri and Anil because we were first time seen such scene, But after some time when I was alone then realising the impact of every performance not only from actor but also form technician sound direction pace of movie everything... Hats of you Vinod sir. Great work done.
i am fan of Vidhu Vinod Chopra .......great film maker and person...........
Bhai aisi movies abb kyu nhi aati
I miss tht 90s brotherhood..
The direction and characterization
Story and acting was outstanding
Even the negative role was simply
The best🙏🌺💯🌻🌾
Soo natural close to life
I jus enjoyed my 20 mnts jus smile on face too good to see all these wonderful ppl😊😊
One of the masterpiece in the history of Bollywood. Hats off for vvc
ya
It was a truly a Masterpiece..
Thank you for these gems!
My favourite director too. Here after his comeback film 12th fail, film of the year again
We need more filmmakers like Vidhu right now in Bollywood
If parinda is remaked, nawazuddin or pankaj tripathi should do the role of anna.
Parinda...beyond ahead its time.
It was awesome seeing Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor together love you guys
right both have clash in movies but in real life they are friends
