Soorarai potru was one Tamil film with which I could connect and appreciate even as a non Tamil audience. Absolutely brilliant film and we need more directors like Sudha who brings out the real essence of a story. Kudos and hearty congrats to Sudha and the whole team 👏
Kaiyile agasam scene thinking of it only brings tears in my eyes. Unforgettable scene
Sudha Kongara, a standing example of Real-Feminism!! She is sensible, hardworking and succeeded against all odds!!! Respect mam _/\_
that's equality bro.
Soorarai Pottru is just the beginning of Sudha Kongara's brilliance..she's gonna do many more miracles with her skill in the upcoming years .
Felt Baddy was very careful with his words in the interview.. I totally agree with Sudha's view of tears is due to relief.. shows the tension of a director.. Sudha has worked hard to prove her talent 👍.. Mani sir has taught to be grounded with success. 🙏.
Happy to see a great TELUGU lady making great FILMS ..
She is from Vizag
Baddy is doing a phenomenal job on this one. There was some palpable tension but Baddy remaining collected is awesome to see.
Thank you for writing, one of the best female characters ive ever seen in a movie. It was beautiful. An actual living breathing human being; a strong, female character, who's not a bag of western/south asian feminist stereotypes, but an actual human being. The lack of male gaze in the character was SO REFRESHING
I admire her confidence and dedication towards cinema.she deserves this award.i hope nelson learns from her
What happened with Nelson
@@sharonscaria i didnt like the way he wrote the script of beast.It was lethargic and careless
@@swarnag7570 we didn't know, what kind of pressure he had around him for that mass zero, sorry, hero..
@@ndurga85 whatever pressure he had or whoever to blame,he is the one facing backlash which is harsh.The story and the wroting was terrible
Mam you are such a so talented person
Wow interesting, my great grandmother was one of the first few lady doctors in Tamil Nadu, She was originally from Mangalore and I've heard she had to travel for days via bullock cart and then a train to get to Chennai... she later opened her own hospital. I can't wait to watch what Sudha Kongara has to bring to this film. Congratulations on the National award and all the best for your further endeavours ma'am!
Wait sudha want to make a about your great grandmother? ☺
@@maheshgs3 what?
Wow @maheshgs3 what's with all the hate ? I read your deleted comment .. why don't you stop making assumptions and wait till the movie is out. Also, which part of my comment indicated that this movie is based on my Great Grandmother. I only commented because Sudha is making a movie about First Female Docs in South India and my great grandma happened to be one. And for your information she wasn't Brahmin ... It shouldn't be anyone's business what cast we are, all I know is that it wasn't easy for her, she came to Madras, completed her studies and chose Madras as her home. Her daughter (my grandma) and many other family member also followed suit. I know my family and I are better off now thanks to a decision she made a 100 years ago. It's evident that women would have found it difficult to get into medical school a century ago, However, now having read your comment it's a surprise she became a doctor at all ! If someone in 2022 has so much affinity towards a particular cast, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been a 100 years ago for someone from a different cast, let alone a women to even step into a medical college. We as a country are bound to regress as long as we have people who can't see past their religion or cast.
@@maheshgs3 equal and free education for all genders and castes would have created more doctors from every walk of life. Back then there was barriers to people getting education. My great grandmother had a farm and her great granddaughters are 2 doctors, a biomedical researcher, a professor and a lawyer working for US Congress.
Thank a lot Sudha garu and Congratulations 👏👏👏
17:33 - You know why she's brilliant.
Really enjoyed the candid chat
Nona ur pesrsonal insta id
Initially baddy said the film doesn't work for him, now he is interviewing sudha ma'am . Take a Bow Soorai Pottru team'
Actually to be honest surarai potru is nothing in front of irudhi sutru, maddy deserved national award than surya, maddy acting was raw and realistic
He is interviewing because the female won the National award nothing hypocritic about it frankly baring some wonderful scenes it didn't worked for me and left until 20 min left
@Rajesh Jayakumar yes, boxers attitude shown perfectly throughout the movie, hope sarpatai parambarai bags some awards next year
You don't need to like a film to interview a director, hell you can still appreciate a director's vision and effort without necessarily digging the film in the first place, by this logic BR likes Rudrathandavam because he interviewed Mohan G before Sudha Kongara😂
@@aravindkumar6631 why are you calling her the "female"? Seems mighty disrespectful
I was waiting for this :)
The real national award winner. looking fwd to more such beautiful movies👏👏
Salutes Mam for " Soorarai potru " one of the gem of Tamil cinema
Every telugu people proud of u madam🔥🔥
I had a nice time watching this Interview :) & Hearty Congratulations :)
Brilliant
whatta movie mam!! take a bow!!
Now am fully happy to see this 🖤
When more 'women directors' come in, people will stop referring them as women director. It has to happen naturally. Not sure why sudha is so sensitive about it.. just allow it to happen naturally. Just a thought.
Especially when the context is "You succeeded whilst being a woman in this field where women are barely given a chance". Not like the context was "wow didn't know a woman could make good films"😂
Rajkumar Hirani Of Tamil Cinema❤️
@@rooh7003 even she will be happy to be compared to Raju Hirani...who is better than her in every front
Mam, As everyone are saying awesome movie and congratulations for national awards. Loved the characterization of Bommi.
Hope the Akshay Kumar Hindi version reaches US audience and sets an example,Elon Musk seriously needs a Bommi.
So one request for Hindi version, The interval scene, An airforce guy requesting for money and passengers not willing to give that too a soldier. Inadvertently it ended up to be Telugu citizens which can be hurtful i think Telugu people like all Indian's are very nice people.
May be show that he doesn't have ticket and they don't let him in to the airport he requests money from auto drivers who says i don't have that much money and seeing his plight, they try to pool money but flight leaves as took time to pool that much amount.
Last scene same auto drivers fly in one of those flights
Really Nice idea 😭🙇♂️
Underserved person...
Sudha yet to give her masterpiece hope her coming kovies will be best of the best
Mam I love your dhrogi movie
The story that is closest to your heart is the story that is the most creative - Martin Scorcese. if you dont see this in sudha's narration, you are blind
The fact remains that Soorarai Potru mixed the previleged origins of Captain Gopinath just to cater to the masses is as problematic as calling someone a "woman director". Irudhi Sutru as well catered to masses by making the heroine a Dhanush fan. There is clear force fitting that's done by some directors, just like how Slumdog Millionaire romanticed Dharavi. The fact that some of these directors are previleged makes it an even more sinister approach. Clever though.
didnt get your comment
Not to mention casting a cis man to play a transwoman in Paava Kadhaigal.
@@CJ-hs3by An Actor is here to play a role. Kalidas pulled it off greatly.
@@CJ-hs3by Actors act.
❤️
She resembles an adopted aunt of my father. She was equally cheerful and inquisitive as the director.
What was the movie name of bala that she would give the national award?
I couldn't hear it properly!!
Suriya has since the film gone out and done more content-driven films like Jai Bhim, which the rooted in the milieu.
As usual, BR doesn't ask stupid questions. Giving us a great conversation rather than a rapid fatafat questions and answers.
Congratulations for the team SOORARAI POTTRU for National Award.
👌👌👌
Whats that poster on the wall with Creating Stories written on it?
Please add subtitles. 😭😭😭
I kinda wanna see lokesh kanagaraj and sudha kongara talking to each other😝
why did sudha change captain gopinath's caste in the movie ?
I think gv prakash should've won this award for aadukalam or aayirathil oruvan itself
Aayurathal oruvan for sure
Madrasapattinam & asuran as well
nathanda ini director uh massda naanu
Waiting for her project with HombaaLe Films ✌💛❤
I wish Kannada and Thamizh actors (Male/female) co-star in some movies. We saw Malayalam-Thamizh, Thamizh-Telugu, Malayalam-Telugu, Thamizh-Telugu-Malayalam Industry people worked recently. I really want Thamizh-Kannada Industry to make movies. We people still have tag "South" Indian. Let's make it proud by Uniting (Adding Marati & Odiya) to So called south Indian Movie.
@@MisterBean369 I think the day is not too far.. Already in a small way Kannada Film Rakshit Shetty starrer 777 Charlie, this year had Bobby Simha in a role. He had one very excellent subtle unification message about Karnataka and Tamil Nadu 😁
Starting of many more such collaborations ✌
@@karnatakaanimesociety5009 It's just spark. We should create forest fires. Rakshit & Karthik Subburaj are Buddies. Hope they make movies together.
@@MisterBean369 Yepp, Karthik had offered Rakshit a role in Pettha, Rakshit had to decline it due to Avane Shrimannarayana dates.
Heard recently that Fahaad Faasil will be starring in a Kannada Malayalam bilingual directed by Lucia director Pawan Kumar
Also close to a year back, there was a news that Sai Pallavi will be acting in a straight Kannada Film, a Political thriller directed by ManSoRe.
(There have been quite a few under the radar collabs like Upendra and Prabhu Deva in a movie called H2O which was controversial and also Arya in Rajaratha directed by Anup Bhandari)
Well hopefully, get to see some mature content coming up in the near future.. Cheers
@@karnatakaanimesociety5009 That's a good start by the way.....Happy that you replied...cheers Buddy
when she said "bahubali vfx is amazing " i spit a mouthfull of water on my laptop
How's your laptop now?
🤣🤣🤣
according to budget it was great..
are u a tamilian ?? acting like one definitely
Never ending word "Female Director" and he loves to tell and she hates to hear !!
I really need subtitles so bad to follow what they are saying
Press CC at right top bro.. You will get subtitles..
Suriya na poster in sudha mam back 🔥😍😍
Mr Bharadwaj
You should have asked s s Rajamouli sir about the national award to Bahubali the beginning.
SaNa unnotified gem

then they move to other MDs
Baddy can do a show like koffee with Karan inviting stars from Bollywood Kollywood and other Indian stars….!
SOORARAI POTRU is only half truth. But still well made COMMERCIALLY.
AIR DECCAN Failed after 4 years in operation and selling its stock to Vijay Mallaya was a big mistake..KINGFISHER was for rich.
Still don't understand why she is wasting her time, trying to remake Soorarai pottru in Hindi. Everyone has already watched it! Especially after the national award.
💰
Her film deserved all the accolades and national awards that it won.
One grouse in Karnataka is that the Kannada dubbed version carried the Tamil title, albeit in Kannada script!
We couldn't make a head or tail of the title!
This story was of Captain G R Gopinath , a Kannadiga's success story so to say and such an oversight ?
The film makers could have just translated the title in Kannada for the benefit of the viewers of the dubbed version and if needed could have mentioned the original title within brackets!
It's not a biopic so those demands are not bagging right! Malayalam has done the same with Tamil stories, such as Traffic and Utsad hotel!
@@oceanistoosmall
It certainly was based on Gopinath's life story and widely projected as such. Even Gopinath and his wife have talked about the film being their story.
Of course there were certain cinematic liberties taken.
While releasing the dubbed version in Kannada the publicity wasn't clever in its approach!
I feel ya man..
@@ygcg8696 there is a difference between based on and biopic! Rocketry is a biopic, this is not! This is a liberal spinoff based on Gopinath's story if not why is Surya not born to a middle-class brahmin family in the movie? Why should his entrepreneurship turn into a virtue signaling noble cause of flying poor people on the plane as the ultimate end goal?
@@oceanistoosmall
That I agree!
My response was for the neglect of the dubbed version's propaganda.
Particularly the title , without translation it made no sense to the Kannada audience.
I start to laugh when I saw dir sudha (u know y) in thumbnail 😂😂😂
More and more women filmmakers shall be funded and promoted.
Galatta shall invite a roundtable with Tamil women creators such as Suhasini, Revathi, Priya, Sudha, Shobana, Halitha, Kiruthiga, Aishwarya, Jayadevi, Sripriya, Saritha, Geetu, Nandhini, Madumita, Lakshmy,, etc.
Next time when you meet her ask why she has ok kanmani poster,very curious to know
Sudha I write ,how can my writing to reach you,
Ithulendhu oru nooru shorts podivingale
Wonderful conversation with the mam who made heads turn with her direction,nd this prestigious award is a much needed honour for the fear, nd struggles she had gone through to establish herself nd what a grounded lady .thanks sir,for the intelligent questions that paved the way to highlight the iconic director.
I have seen plenty of sore losers. But this lady is a sore winner. Calm down please.
sudha mind voice: konja nanja pechaaya pesuna😅😅😅😅😅
I am
Review of soorarai pottru by bharadwaj is s good example why you should never trust or listen what these critics think about a movie , it's just their opinion !!
We can definitely listen to their reviews. People can relate to the opinion of the critics about the movie sometimes. Not everyone's point of view is the same. Even I thought that the scene where Surya will cry and beg to everyone was a little unnecessary (but brilliantly performed). However everyone hv different point of views and the majority wins typically.
Excatly...
She says dont refer as women director but she is doing a movie on lady doctors !?
Somehow I'm unable to connect with the film they way everyone else has .........i felt it was heavily melodramatic in a lot of portions......i somewhat agreed with Baddy regarding the opinion of the film....... But the one scene that i thoroughly cannot forget is the one Sudha Kongara described: Suriya's eyes welled up with tears as he's processing he's succeeded.... That was epic, that's when i felt Suriya needs to stop his commercial films.......
Sudha : I don't like to be reduced to a female film maker.
BR : I have ears that can hear but it is a fact that you are a female film maker.
Sudha should have just walked out or called him the first bald, diabetic, middle aged man to do film reviews from South India. BR should fix this issue of his. The reverence he shows for TMK and MR and his arrogance around Ranjith (which gotten better) and Sudha.
13:18 Gautham Menon thaakapataara🤣🤣
Vetri Maran too
😂😂😂😂
Nelson for Beast! Lol
@@s.siddharthan4366 Im sure she doesnt even consider him as a filmmaker and considering the wrath and stick he received, she wouldnt feel envious of him. You could have mentioned Atlee instead for doing those long films after umpteen discussions and countless watches of similar movies with copied story line!
@@oceanistoosmall Oh yeah completely agree but i wasn't talking about the envious part actually. Was talking about the deadline part, the fact that beast is very poorly written script and he i suppose didn't care to polish the script may be coz of deadline given the sun pictures or some sort or may be he just din't care to write it properly and fully relied on Vijay's stardom which backfired completely.
I love Baddy and I love Sudha K.... but i have this feeling that she isn't a big fan of his... Kudos to Sudha for still giving a wonderful interview/insightful answers and for Baddy for treading carefully on sensitive topics but still having a gr8 conversation
Actually, they are really good friends and so she's very open with him
@@danidawn9430 oh is it.. thank you for sharing
Guess it shud be Ekta kapoor up north...
I don’t understand how these male anchors have a tone of dominance over HER victory and how they interview her. Not only BR but the anchor from indiaglitz also had the same tone-as if “looks like you got success..well done and let’s see how you do next”. When they talk to Shankar or Maniranam, the anchors tone has lot of respect and they don’t fail to give kudos for everything they do. Well done Sudha!!! Your clarity in expression is amazing.
Kitchen pogama Inga enna paragraph type pannitu erukinga 🤣🤣
@@ogdank78 🤣🤣
The film and performances were good no doubt but there are so many indie films and filmmakers…..Jitendra from Godavari or Sanchari Vijay from Taledanda should have got best performances…..Lijomol from Jai Bhim should have got in female…
Let's appreciate BR's guts to interview her after this incident: ruclips.net/video/W7qxPhu4Aok/видео.html
Baddy SP didn't worked for me.. Now realizing "Avasara pattaye kumaru"...
In btw no disrespect to baddy
what is a "privileged filmmaker" ?
Be careful Baddy...she is a spitfire
Tamila pesunadha enna sir, next interviewlayachum tamila question kelunga sir
"Vaaya poya" nu pesita iva .... In that , directors reunion interview la .... Valaipechu bismi told because of suriya manager film got award as well as BJP to make popularity in south
Mam big fan your work, but beg to differ you at the lady director tag point, I think there is nothing wrong in calling that, if today or tomorrow if your movie being watched someone from abroad they may ask there indian friends or colleagues about your movie and the guys refers you has a lady director,will impress the American guy and there perspective of seeing India will change, many think india is the most horrifying country to live for women (which is some what true but not entirely) that perspective opinion will change.
Without the content she could had failed .not that great director
First of all i dont like the point of remaking a master piece soorarai potru in hindi , even if it was compulsory i would wish it to happen with Hrithik. Both of the factors really disappointed. No one can ever justify Nedumaaran other than Surya
I dint like soorai pottru neither jai bhim and I still have opinion.
0 cares
@@ashwin2263 BR does even he dint like both the films
@@atishpal8533 0 cares for br too
Just here for s43 no update so bye
Jai bhim was close to awful. The filmaker just relies on emotional manipulation throughout the movie. The actors who could have been better utilized just scream and scream with no substance in tbe writing.
@@skybebop2870 It was just Melodrama with the most amateurish filmmaking. Suriya illana kuppa nu solirupaanga 😂
Ipovathu antha smoking scene vidalamla
But there is a scene Surya slaps her if she is so forward thinking why did she keep that scene
Because according to feminist law of equality, if it is directed by XX chromosomed director then it is women empowerment bro
This man BR is not accepting the corrections that she requires at all... He sounds too egoistic and is unable to accept the level headed female achiever... He finds her so intimidating... Sadist BR!!
In SooraraiPottru hero is periyarist kind of guy, I think that's irked bhra baddy...
I feel sad for Nelson now, my man didn't get enough time I guess, deadline pressure from 'big actors'
sudha clearly mentioned its director choice...This nelson went to make movie only because star hero called and for money without having story nd ur blaming hero now🤦🏻no one forced him right he wouldve said easily no right🤦🏻Nelson idiot went for money and getting trolls..Moreover he said in baddy interview with nonsense attitude that he wont work on any script more than 3 months and ur saying he was given deadline🤣🤣
Nelson himself stated that he takes just 3 months to finish a script. What's in it for the actor, do you think in this dn age directors really get forced by big actors no.
Mr Baddy - Film didn't work for me 😂
Suda slapped mottaiyan once again 🤷
There is not such thing as privileged filmmaker! If your process is proven to be a success, you get films and if the same privileged filmmaker ends up with a failure, he loses the privileges which is happening with Gautam Menon now! And that privileged filmmaker she is referring to is Vetrimaran, who writes his dialogues on the set! Lokesh also does some of his dialogues on set and this is an envious take of this toxic liberal lady who turned a brahmin into a SC for the sake of her identity and inclusion as a so called progressive filmmaker.!
Fax
Isn't she a brahmin herself? Or am I wrong
Well my point is if she is a brahmin why would she villainiser her own cast without backlash of some kind.. Genuine doubt about your statements
@@chessboarder2946 she belongs to Kongara caste and she is a telugu by birth
Ithuvay tamil interviewa lady director nu sona tension agi irupanga .English la pesuna adhuku vera treatment pola
I don’t know why this anchor keep on talking in English he interview with well known tamil director for his tamil RUclips channel
Oh oh he making fan India interview வாழத்துக்கள் சகோ 👍🙏🏻
Normal movie pa, nothing extraordinary, except acting skills
Women filmmaker nu sollama aprom aunty filmmaker na solluvanga… women na women nu dhan sollanum.. gay na solluvanga… feminist 🤦♂️🤦♂️
So you need TELUGU director
Next year jai bhim wins the award and Baddy didn't like that film also. 🤣
What about sarpetta he liked the flim if that's win national award
@@harishshan16 that's way better than jai bhim. Jai bhim is all about politics.
So many crass and misogynistic comments..ppl who love the craft and folks with nuanced views used to watch this channel earlier..Can't believe folks with "valai pechu" mindset have infiltrated as viewers on baddy's youtube channels!
There will be fight Thought of moment after few minutes watching
If you speak in tamil its easy to you and for us ,bcs it looks like you struggling with launguage
If you think Baddy is struggling with English, you're clowning in here mate 😂
Baddy 😜😜😜
