Please interview Chum Darang, the other actress in the movie. Finally, the Hindi film industry is getting more inclusive, progressive and incredibly Woke. More NE actors in films please... ❤🌈
True. I'm happy that it is not a stereotypical portrayal.
@@Arya-cs7kj Exactly! And also regarding the Gay character, hindi film has a habit of portraying them like they are some kind of caricature or something. But I see things changing into more of an authentic representation.
@@sawangwangchha9448 it's good Bollywood is including actors from North East but North Eastern states of India should try to develop their own film industries also with all the different languages spoken there , dub it and release on tv like South to create a mass audience
Finally I see a comment about Chum Darang. Yaayyy
Doing movie LGBT that just no 0.0001 in I dia but not making 25% musalim women facing tripal talak, halala why when peole ask thes question when you ask for it to bollywood musalim women need your help
Two of my most favourite actors. Hats off to them. Loved the movie a lot. Love is love.
As someone who is gay, I fully support straight people enacting LGBTQ characters to bring more acceptance and awareness.
And the next step must be about people dealing with gender dysphoria
I hope you have a good life and society and your family accept you

This movie looks great. Can't wait to see it.
I am secretly sooooo happy ... Can't show my happiness (for obvious reasons). Just optimistic for my future in India, atleast 10 years down the road.
A lot of people commenting about straight people hijacking this queer space. As a queer person myself, who can't disclose real name here, for many sad but real reasons, I am ok at this stage for a country like India that atleast to create awareness and to start the conversation at home, Aayushman Khurana and Rajkumar Rao as bankable mainstream stars who are also straight are doing a good enough job. I wish we lived in an utopia jaha yeh sab ki jarurat nahi hoti, but sadly we don't and for now I still live in hope.
Exactly and what i think is in hindi mainstream cenima queer movies are still new and the way our industry is they need these "big star" to make people watch it i just wish maybe someday we would have queer actors playing these roles but right now these people are necessary to convay the message to a larger audience

@@realityofindia7592 how can you say that percentage very confidently? Plus you can't compare two different problems they are bad on their own no need to compare
@@realityofindia7592Gawar
Many people are boycotting this movie. Guys please go theatre and watch. We need to make this movie hit.
Why is there so much negativity in this comment section? This is a great concept and we have two very talented actors serving this good story,the songs have been great so far,you can tell effort has been put into this film and I hope it does well because it deserves to. I’m glad they’re doing this film and it’s very important for the LGBTQ community to see representation and people they relate to.

Should have invited chum darang as well, she's also lead in the movie
Why are these FC Interviews turning into a video where all of them just compliment each other and then leave. Am I the only one who’s feeling this off late?
Bhumi pednekar is an amazing actress. Can't wait to see the movie.
Great conversation! As someone who loved both Shahid and Newton, I am so glad for actors like Raj who continue to take on films of this nature even if they don't find broad viewership immediately.
Oh and also, Anupama is a brilliant interviewer! Thanks Film Companion 😇

Looking forward to see this...
Thanks for the beautiful interview, was shocked to know that the trailer is only 5% of what's in the movie!!
I just clapped when Raj said Anu was an excellent Film Journalist!
She deserves all the praise!
They completely missed the question about if films like these ‘actually engage with the queer community’?. The point was if these films are just made to cater to the current trend and box office collections, or is the film industry actually giving more representation to people from queer community to be writers, actors, directors, technicians etc.? Are we as society doing anything to shift the needle as a community or just have 3 hours of entertainment.

Loved the movie in many ways.
Many things have been said through this movie.
It was Funnier that what it's said coz it was crazy laughter out there 😂...It Had that Continuity.
Just Loved it❤️
Whole Team ne Aag Lagadi 🔥🔥💥
Many People have understood the lives of the closeted people and Vulnerable Ones through this Movie.
Hats Off You People For Bringing the Topic in a Subtle Way.
Comic Timing was At NEXT LEVEL and That Last Number by Amit Trivedi Was Something and It was Liberating.We Travelled with the Characters.
Sumi.Rimjhim.Shardul.Guru.❤️
They both are good actors who are starting to get typecast in similar roles.
What typecast bro? Has any of them ever done an LGBTQ character before?

@@realityofindia7592 They had hits doing other movies about small town characters dealing with sexuality issues, pregancy, etc
So it is just following same trend.
Why bollywood not making movie about musalim women their right we should aask them why they are in burkha and why we never see any LGBT IN MUSALIMS AUR OTHER PEOPLES they also live in India
@@realityofindia7592 I guess you havent heard of movie "Lipstick under my burkha".
Movies have been made on plight of women in Muslim society
This is the Ayushman Khuranna genre
Hope they give credits to ayushman 😂😂
Rajkumar is probably the best actor in this generation. Why does he keep doing these small town comedies one after the other
Best actor.....lol. the guy won't even qualify as a spot boy if he was born 50 years back. This era....standards have fallen down.
I think he did great in this role. I am glad a popular actor did this film so the message is out
These two are one of the best actors top notch
Love yr interviews anupama ji! ❤️😊
Kudos to both the actors for agreeing to do guys movie
I love your content and watch all of the interviews, also part of Front Row. I suggest you should switch to better video quality by making small changes to the setup and not depend on internet bandwidth or Zoom optimizations to downscale the pixels. As you are not live streaming this interview, you can have the interview on zoom but ask the actors to capture a high quality video from their phone rear cameras, and stitch everything later on. It will give a much better experience. Thanks Anu and team.
Love Bhumi‘s new found ‘Sonam accent’ 😅😂🤣
I had secondhand embarrassment from that
Art is Timeless 🥰👍🏻✌🏻🙏🏻
Now the clarity is improving now 👍
I seriously want producers and directors that ....its only now that i have grown up enough to go to cinema without my parents and i want to see good cinema and support them in theatre....i like watching on streaming but plzzz theatre is a different experience
Straight flag is flying in the pride scene of the trailer!
See that, that’s how careful they were!
Can you explain?
@@Arya-cs7kj in the trailer there is a pride parade scene. And that scene has a 'straight pride' flag. Basically there are conservative people who want to oppose lgbtq people and they came up with 'straight pride' saying that they are straight and proud which basically mocks the lgbtq community.
@@imrunningsoda1350 Got it. But, I think that's not b'coz they weren't 'careful' or 'aware'. It is too early to guess the story but maybe it is written that way to represent 'inclusiveness' ie. a world where both LGBTQ nd straight people h've equal civil rights. Idk. 🤷🏽♂️
@@Arya-cs7kj yes its possible so we shouldnt make speculations before seeing the movie
I know that no one intended any disrespect...but we should make an effort to articulate questions in a different way...
Saying things like making movies "palatable" through "comedy", "normalizing"... could be really demeaning or hurtful or triggering to an LGBT individual.
While there is no denying that society is at a certain stage...but LGBT people who will tune into this interview...may feel “excluded”. To hear that a gay person’s story always has to go through this “palatable” filter…is probably why we don’t see good gay stories. All stories are intended to measure up to hypothetical social standards of straight people.
We forget that everyone has a sexual orientation...not just gay people.
👏👏👏👏👏
You're right. However, if the filmmakers don't tone down the film, it could get banned, protested against etc. which would hurt the community more. One has to take baby steps to reach a point where things are gradually getting better
I think you're overthinking. They meant presenting it in an entertaining way to make it more accessible.
Who are we kidding? Mainstream films in India need to h've comedy, drama , romance nd action.This is true for all the mainstream films irrespective of their content.
I was so looking forward to this interview - I like both of them but Bhumi's accent is seriously distracting!
When i saw the trailer i noticed that they have done the shooting in Wynberg allen school in Mussoorie
One thing which I really like in Anupama is she listen very carefully.
We need a movie "Star" who actually belongs to queer/LGBTQ community. I wish the day comes soon 😀 hope bollywood will bring someone from this community in the movies, not just keep capitalising on them.
Is using the term "queer" right.What is the proper term. LGBT.
bumi can be said in a way an offender of snatching parts from fat, black and older females
Wud u go n watch it id think so even in the most forward n developed countries these queer films don't garner any body collection or attention frm the public at large n id think it ll happen here in India
Bhumi's accent for no reason😂😂
I love it when actors try to promote their own movies.
Rajkummar ❤❤❤
👍👍👍
Haven't we seen a lesbian story in Ek Larki ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. And Believe every time such topics are made with a Tarka of Comedy the seriousness of the issue is sidelined I like Aligarh like treatment where it is dealt with seriousness and credits are not given enough to Aligarh. It came out at a time when it was a crime
yea but then I feel like people hesitate to go and watch heavy movies? or maybe it's just me lol.. but also Aligarh wasn't very popular.. comparing it to lets say shubh mangal zyada saavdhan.. altho I'm not sure if it dealt with it very well since I haven't watched it could it be possible that its reaching a wider audience this way.. but yea I suppose it could dilute the gravity of it
I definitely agree with you. Portraying such issues through comedy sidelines the seriousness of issue. But its just that only allies and lgbtq ppl will want to watch lgbtq media right? So I think they add comedy to it to appeal masses so atleast they come to watch and change their mindset
@@imrunningsoda1350 correct its just a wild wish that Aligarh like movies get wide appeal. I was really pissed when a publication like variety reported that Subh Mangal Zayada Savdhan was the only mainstream movie of India on Gay relationship
But you do realise that there's a Straight/Hetero flag in the pride March that you've shown in trailer.
More research please.
इस फ़िल्म की शूटिंग मैन देखी थी देहरादून पुलिस थाने में
I’ve written about how I detested the trailer and how Queer People are appropriated but I like the actors and representation is a complex topic and the two of them are not the only people to blame but a system which uses Queers but doesn’t actively place them in positions of power.
so aptly you have written....I truly agree
where were you when they made aligarh?
sure but I wonder if it would change things in the system if A listers like decide to keep their foot down when offered these roles and demand the inclusion of queer people in the storytelling, whether it be in writing or acting, so that there's a better representation, cuz ig I understand if u wanna make known actors the face of the project to make it more "palatable" and stuff, but what about the writing process of it? seems like there r so many queer activists and other artists who can help out in making it more sensitive and accurate but seems like people aren't putting enough effort there... but then I'm not sure how much say do actors really have tho.. also sometimes I think idk could it be possible that given the trend right now.. some actors get a bit greedy for certain roles cuz some people will immediately deem them as "strong" for taking such "unconventional" roles nd stuff?
Why and how are we so sure of their sexuality?
@@firefly3479 I don't think they've ever talked about their sexuality.. nd I don't think they NEED to like "come out" or anything (until they want to) if they are queer, in order to justify their presence in the movie.. but I suppose when it comes to representation, having someone who's already out.. won't it make more of an impact?.. but also this way won't it be very easy for makers to cast actors just throwing the tag of "unlabelled" in order to just avoid real representation.. cuz like this way we're just gonna have to give em the benefit of the doubt everytime na?
the research put into the film is very clear with the "straight flag" scene from the trailer. shame!
Where is Cham Darang? Please get her interview as well.
Bhumi just said "We are realistic actors" .self boasting or something idk🙄
Bhumi made some great points here. I hope filmmakers are taking notes.
Bhumi sounds like ananya pandey sometimes.
You know!!
They seem not just confident about the film but overconfident
I don’t think it’s overconfident, more like very excited about it.
talking about Rajkummars mistakes, I think he lacks energy now compared to the energy shown in LSD, GOW, Shaitaan, Kai po che. Those days it seemed like boxoffice doesnt matter, his performane is must watch. But not anymore. Otherwise how can he not shine in the white tiger? And turns out another new actor steals the show and now he is co-actor of Meryl Streep? Definitely he is lacking something. I miss his performances just like centuries of Virat.
The new comer had a bigger n more important role than him if raj played his character he wud have nailed it
White tiger is all about adarsh gourav character not about rajkummar rao character. The way adarsh gourav character written is far better than raj character. So this comparison is unjustified.
Agree with you....stardom may have affected his script choices..
@@user-ow9ct6nt8k yes
no he is still a good actor. We just have to look forward to his upcoming movies.
Stardom is still intact in Telegu and Tamil for sure
It's Telugu Bro...❤✌
All set to bomb at the box office😗
Sick homophobe ryt here
@@pranavgopal2319 lol 🤣
Chum Darang's debut film; But still amazing Performance.
These interview questions are getting a bit repetitive. As a channel that functions on true Film love, they should be asking in-depth questions about the craft, not just surface level.
Most actors can't even answer the surface level questions, how are you expecting them to answer in depth questions. For in depth questions, you need to ask actors from Marathi movies or actors from South
@@randomthings_india the actor in question is Rajkummar Rao.
I wanted to comment on this, too. But, again this is a promotional interview. So, can't expect more than this.
I counted about 1343 “you know” from Bhumi
great interview, but PANDEMIC IS OVER? :o
Rainbow Capitalism? Seems like.
As a part of lgbtq getting 3 movie in year about lgbtq 2019 - ek ladki ko dekha 2020 shubh mangal zyada saavdhan 2022- badhaai do and many web series hope we get more
Any video on srk
Anupama is such a mom even while interviewing. She asks here: omg are you nervous about the movie releasing in theaters for box office pressure as if these actors are kids going for an exam and she's worried about thier exam marks! Lady please get ove the box office obsession at least in a pre release interviews.
Box office worry and instagram pressure questions are wehn I feel her mom side comes out!
Let's guess what is going to be the twist ending in this movie.
Raj did not have to get his chin "fixed" into a pointy witchy one. Wish he trusted his immense acting skills than going for vanity.
Hope Raj will select more great script because for last 2 year his script selection is very poor according to his craft and acting skills.
This is also going to be a sub-par movie, it to offered to Aayushmann and he passed on it for a reason.
@@ravitomar2344 I think he may have passed it because of Chandigarh kare aashiqui
YES. Exactly! Social messages are good, but films need to go beyond that too
I don't know why he did Roohi after doing Stree...
@@anuferns fear of box office something works and everyone try to replicate that again
I just hope that the Gay Stories don't just get surface level treatment or like an outsider's view that could be handled by the straight masses, lacking nuance or empathy for the real struggles of LGBTQ people in India. As a gay person I could not connect with shubh Mangal zyada savdhaan for the same reason, because somewhere i could not connect with the emotions and struggles, as they didn't feel heartfelt.
I just feel every guest says the same thing every interview. Just replace one with the other. Getting a little monotonous
We became friends, director is fabulous, one of our best works blah blah 😂
Mam please interview pushpa team
If you watch at 1.5x you'll hear Bhumi calling the movie 'Badhai Ho' everytime.
When did Bhoomi grow this “accent”? Has she been hanging out with Priyanka Chopra?
If we don't support movie in theaters. Then more movies like this won't be made.
my ears will bleed if i hear "you know" one more time 😢
Middle of the Road films would have worked had the makers trusted the audience and gone to theatre 1st before streaming as an industry
This is random but the negative stereotype of animals is dumb. The animal species is smart and emotional. And kind. And loving.
why does Bhumi have an accent??
#WeWantAInterviewOfAlluArjun .
Bhumi is officially a Bollywood actress now that she has the fake American accent.
Sounds like they want people to believe their "denial" on the widespread of Omicron cases. Almost over compensating by using statements like we won't promote bad movies or call it as it is. I disagree, if u commit to a movie, you have to and you will promote it as a good movie. No one will tell people, I made a bad movie, don't watch it. And we don't have to down play other genre's, 'small town love stories' just to promote your one film.
No1 is close to RR.. Plzz don't compare others with him.. N bhumi plzz you are a good actor but RR not same leveled with Raj..
Masses flock to theatre not wokes during pandemic.. This is gonna bomb..
What’s with Bhumi’s accent 🥴
What are the chances that this was a Ayushman rejected script
Kuch zada hi nahi bhumika baandh di?

if not both Atleast one is homosexual
One is my friend only who is married have two kids
But still is in relationship with his gay boyfriend they both love each other a lot but still he got married just to showoff to the family and society
Mam please interview Tiger Shroff ❤️
I've realised this. If you are an actor and want to be praised by Film Companion, just tell them you are secular. That's it. You will have good reviews for your films for the rest of your life and they'll go ga ga about you.
Agree with you but where they talked about secularism ?
Lol... This guy wants people to appreciate his and other people's communal mindset... If you wanna live in a constitutionally communal country and neighborhood go to Pakistan
Exactly...and as soon as you bring out a patriotic kinda movie.....film companion's first comment or Q gonna be...jingoistic perhaps?
@@jcharubhatt exactly!
Are you implying being secular is a bad thing ?
Why every other movie in Bollywood is about gay, lesbians and trans why can't they make normal movies...
define normal without imposing heteronormative narratives.
so whole indian film industry makers around 1500 films per year in which there are only 6-7 lgbt themed mainstream films since last 4-5 years..........yeah...so every other movie is about gays and lesbians ryt???
The answer to your question lies in the question itself. We need more such movies to make people like yourself understand that there's nothing "abnormal " about being homosexual.
Are you Pakistani?
Aush and raj is the bollywood gay icon
The story maybe interesting, but I feel there are so many more interesting concepts and stories to tell which appeal to broader audiences.
I feel bad for the actors after putting in so much work and passion, many people are not really interested in watching these types of movies.
Upset to see that Chum Darang (North East Actress) is not being called for this interview session considering her as she's not the lead actress or is a famous name in industry. Shame on the PR team and ofcourse the Host, as it shows the orthodox mentalitity of the channel!!!! Hiting DISLIKE button
Bhumi seems so overconfident and comes out fake these days.
I couldn't move my eyes from Raj Kumar Rao's Chin implants coz it looks so scary !!
Doing movie LGBT that just no 0.0001 in I dia but not making 25% musalim women facing tripal talak, halala why when peole ask thes question when you ask for it to bollywood musalim women need your help
Why Rajkumar's chin looks so sharp lean .. little annoying.
I'm glad I m not the only one distracted by it.
Bhumi has now become so desperate for attention, exposing her body after toilet movie whenever gets a chance.
She is a very good actor, decent clothing looks superb on her.
Interview mai aa kar, kitna jhoot bolte hai! Bekar movie hai!
Don’t get it, why do they think it is ok to show half of their breast? It has become a fashion now. Ruining our beautiful culture of modesty.
Fashion shows are awesome dude
Shut up
Precsiely, substandard won't work. So stop making movies like Badhai Do
Anupama Chopra fake hai
Ye movie kachara h koi nahi dekhe ga isko koi apane paise kharab kare taki American ideallogy dekhane ja sake I am not fool
