@@toyotachevroIet4972 Wrong. Which team are you talking about? He kept changing people he worked with from time to time. As a director he might be obsolete now, but he changed the direction of Hindi cinema, for sure.
@@dhichkuaooShut the F up if you dont know anything about filmmaking. He changed the whole way one films a scene in Telugu cinema with Shiva back in 89. That too, without assisting anyone. He is a true genius. The depths of his thinking, you cant even reach even in your wildest dreams.
@@dhichkuaoo that makes the major difference. without him it would b another Bollywood masala movie. FYI he dont take credit for any movie he alwasys says i use people for my films. means he put correct ingredients to cook biryani and know how much quantity to b added
The thing is that Ram gopal Varma has done so much for cinema that no one should really demand that comeback from him,he has been a gamechanger,and one should respect that fact!
True man. Directors have a limited creativity period. RGV had that from 1989 to late 2000s. He and Mani Ratnam for me are people who changed a lot in Indian cinema.
@@akashreddy2928you two literally made me think differently. Such a different perspective to see things from. Brilliant take on creativity. Not everyone is scorsesy who can stay fresh even at the age of 90. RGV is indeed a game changer.
Correction : he doesn't want a comeback or do not need a validation . We are lucky as this master is a telugu speaking intellectual ..and we are overloaded with his wisdom and max consump of his movies
In reference to the comments : RGV doesn't need a comeback or do not need a validation . We are lucky as this master is a telugu speaking intellectual ..and we are overloaded with his wisdom and max consump of his movies.. He is the only unconditioned human being living his complete life on this earth ..Boom
Both Indian and Telugu cinema history can be divided as “Before and After RGV”. He did enough for Cinema. We can’t ask more from him. Just admire and celebrate his work.🫡
RGV is a true defenition of One Man Show in Indian Cinema. Introduced so many genres, new-age technicians, artists, writers & filmmakers to Indian cinema with his directorials & co-productions. All this without any huge starcast/ big studio backing. His contribution to Indian cinema is incomparable to that of any.
@@toyotachevroIet4972BS. He delivered classics across different genres since 1989(Shiva) to 2013 (Attacks of 26/11). Not one person was responsible for his career. Plus u need intelligence, wisdom and courage to notice & nurture talents. That's y everyone who worked under ramu speak so high of him.
@@CS2K23 Contrary to popular belief, RGV's impact on Bollywood was not transformational. The 80s belonged to iconic figures like Amitabh Bachchan and the dynamic writer duo, Salim-Javed. Moving into the 90s, Shahrukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Yash Chopra took the helm, shaping the industry's trajectory. As the new millennium dawned, it was Aamir Khan who influenced a generation of filmmakers. While RGV's film "Satya" garnered praise, it failed to incite a significant wave of gangster movies in Bollywood. Instead, it was the works of directors like Karan Johar and Aamir Khan that spawned a proliferation of films in similar genres. The reality is that RGV did not single-handedly redefine Bollywood. The industry's evolution was a collective effort, driven by the extraordinary talents of Amitabh Bachchan, Salim-Javed, Shahrukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Aamir Khan. These visionaries left an indelible mark on the Hindi film industry, influencing the next generation of filmmakers in their own unique ways.
Everybody at one point in this interview has tears in their eyes including RGV. You can imagine how much they were invested and how much they loved this film and the time they spent together.
Satya is such an iconic film, it not only changed audience's perception towards Hindi films but also changed industry people's perception towards filmmaking.
I feel the most underrated aspect of this movie is Sandeep Chowta's background music. I can't think of any other Hindi film's (barring Sholay maybe) background music taking a movie to another level as it did with Satya. Kudos to Sandeep Chowta and of course RGV.
I’m surprised there was no mention of Gerard Cooper - the cinematographer of the film.. The way that guy has shot Mumbai.. No Indian in the history of Indian cinema is able to do that! A loud shout out for Geri Cooper!!
Gerard shot only for 1 week of the principle photography. He had to go back coz his visa time was over. He was there for 6 months in Mumbai, but they didn't shoot much in that 6 months coz they were just doing workshops and test shoots. Satya was shot for 2 yrs Source: rgv said in an interview
RGV was way ahead of his time when he made the Telugu movie SHIVA(1989). Raw Action and Raw Emotion was never seen before in Mainstream Commercial Telugu Cinema. GAAYAM (1993)was another movie which was very raw in its treatment. SATYA was the third installment of the Ganster Cinematic Universe of RGV.
The range RGV had is unparalleled. Rangeela, Satya, Sarkar, Kaun, Bhoot, etc. etc. an absolutely mad genius !! He has lost his marbles now but he has already done it all ! 👌👏🔥
2-3 genres actually - gangster and horror with romance sprinkled in. Definitely more versatile than the likes of Karan Johar but I have seen more versatile filmmakers.
So unfortunate to see him placing camera in weird places now .. we shouldn’t even watch trailers of his new movies.. don’t want to lose respect towards him.. satya if released now, will sure collect chores

The whole essence of the video is how carelessly they created a masterpiece ❤ and nowadays taking so much time and money makers have made a thing which is a waste😂 of time
Shiva, Rangeela, Satya, Company, Bhoot, Sarkar and many movies that RGV produced like Kaun, D, Darna Mana Hai etc...brand RGV is an emotion...I remember going to drop my pictures at his office at Versova hoping to get a call for an audition...he was every newcomers hope for casting them..the office was packed with boys & girls wanting a break in movies..that was RGV..someone who gave hope to outsiders because he made a movie like Satya where the most powerful role of Bhiku Mhatre was given to Manoj Bajpayee instead of an established actor and Thank God for that...I still feel RGV will get his groove back and make more outstanding films very soon..at least I sincerely hope so😃👍👌👏🙌🤞
Every film lover in the world, and especially India, must watch this absolutely marvelous interview! One of the best you might have ever seen. Hats off to this movie and everyone involved in it. Thank you Anupama ji and team for this interview. 🙏
Can you believe it that the perceived hero of the movie is dead just around intermission, when all the villains are still alive. Yes hero’s used to die in movies earlier but towards the end, not bang in the middle. What a movie, what a director.
Greatest Hindi movie ever made ... You can clearly divide Bollywood years in to Before Satya and After Satya. This movie made people realise that movies can be made with such precision.
Excellent interview, watching on 3 July 2023 exactly 25 years after Satya released on 3 July 1998. I watched Satya in Plaza theatre in Dadar Mumbai back then. One of the outstanding & world class movie 😊
RGV career reminds me of Dev Anand's Career as a filmmaker...Dev Anand's last 8 to 12 movies were mega flops...But he is still remembered as the Evergreen hero...Nobody remembers his gloos...Same with RGV..he is still talked about Satya, Rangeela and Sarkar
The irony is that the lead pair is not there which shows that RGV's movies were much more than that which was not the case in bollywood back then. He gave so much emphasis on various characters and the actors playing those characters have become legends now
My tears for Satya are as much as they are for the people whom he killed… Is the same metaphor of “An eye for an eye…”… Ramu showed Gandhian way in the most brutal way conceivable.. Genius… An outsider changed the course of the entire film Industry.. Rebel without a pause and a cause!!!!!
@@shashikirankiran8105 @BhargavSinghHyd - what he meant was a person from non film background / not a son of producer - director etc. Stop looking at everything from lense of north south divide angle and fights.
Say what you want about RGV losing his sheen, this interview proves that even now he is streets ahead of other directors in the way he looks at films. He’s not just a consummate director, he’s a colossus of talent. Hope he makes a comeback. He’s due.
People might troll ramgopal Varma today. But he changed Indian cinema forever. His assistants went to all parts of country and replicated the same. He is the GOAT ! Still remember the goosebumps I got while watching Satya and company.
Thank you Anupama Mam for taking me 25 years back. I had seen this landmark film in Bhopal and I love RGV for what he was and the way he changed the cinema making in India. Thanks everyone . Congratulations on Satys's Silver Jublee 🎉🎉
Nobody has mentioned here about the background score of the movie. I think it was also the main highlights of the film. Sandeep Chowtha did a remarkable job.
Manoj Bajpayee standing at sea side of the enormous Mumbai landscape, with that sinister and crazy laughter celebrating his victory by shouting to the entire city: "Mumbai ka don kaun, Bhiku Mhatra". #Iconic
There are many, but the one that stands out (for me) with the most repeat value, is the entire scene at Kallu Mama's office after Chandar's death. The icing on the cake is Sandeep Chowta's haunting background score when Satya lands the idea of killing the commissioner. Still gives me the chills and goosebumps even after 25 years. 🤟🔥
Ram Gopal Varma, though successful in the Hindi film industry, may not have thrived as much if he had made movies in Malayalam. The rich craft and exceptional storytelling of Malayalam filmmakers have set a high standard in the industry. While filmmaking is subjective, the distinctiveness of Malayalam cinema presents a challenging landscape that might have overshadowed Varma's style and approach.
Best scene, when shefali’s character goes to meet Manoj’s character in jail! Their banter, his response…..never was such depiction of a hard core villain shown in movies!! Excellence was oozing out of product standing on strong screenplay, nurtured by visionary director and brought to life by amazing actors!
RGV comes up with a vision, engages the best talent, takes as many chances as possible and executes his plans!! He is one of the great thinkers of our generation!!
One scene that I found the best out of satya was , when bhau was killed amidst ganpati visarjan . The allegory that they drew at that moment was something that I had got shaken by , also the moment when bhau's body floats and everything around him drowns into the silence of post destruction. Samandar gulps whatever comes its way , mightiest of mighties are fringe before this mighty Samandar.
No. It would tarnish its great reputation. Chashmebaddoor, Gadar 1 and some other classics were re released too and were removed after two days. Its a bad idea. Film theatres dont work on emotions. It costs money.
@@andy-pf5hsre release culture is not so popular in Bollywood atleast currently but currently in South re released movies are making crores just in one day
Wow, what an incredible milestone! Congratulations to the entire team of Film Companion and Anupama Chopra for conducting a remarkable interview with the cast of the iconic Hindi film Satya on its 25th anniversary. It's truly remarkable to see such a significant film being celebrated and acknowledged even after a quarter of a century. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the making of this masterpiece and allowing us to relive the magic. The insights shared by the actors and the behind-the-scenes stories must have been absolutely fascinating. Satya holds a special place in the hearts of cinephiles, and your initiative to commemorate this milestone is praiseworthy. It's wonderful to see the film's impact being recognized and celebrated. It's a testament to its enduring legacy and the talent of the entire team involved. #CinemaLegacy, #FilmCompanionForever, #AnupamaChopraInterviews #Satya25Years
thanks for treating ramu so respectfully, truly a great film maker, I wish this team once again comes and does some nice crime thriller, like delhi crime, thanks manoj for still saying ramu is good, when ramu is in his own den now..get some good script going man, high time.
One of those interviews where you don’t realize that you were watching this for an hour. I got emotional at many places and I wasn’t even part of this film. I want to give credit to Film Companion who at least give credit to such incredible films.
Watched Satya atleast 20+ times... Film still fresh in mind...it's completely RGV film...film start with khadilkar voice and ends with RGV message... very impactful and original...
The current bollywood stands on the shoulder of Satya. Few urecognised actors in the movie are Manoj Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra, Sushant Singh and many more.
I watched Satya in December 2023 for the first time and was completely blown away by the cinematography, world-building, and storytelling of the film. It felt like watching a documentary or a hollywood-level cinematic recording of a sting operation. The characters were so real and relatable that I forgot about the actors' other films and accepted them as the characters of Satya. The dramatic orchestral music only heightened the appeal of the unfolding storyline. It was hard to believe that such a feat could be achieved in 1998. This movie is one of the finest masterpieces of Bollywood. It should be studied and taught in film schools. Hats off to its creators, cast, and crew members. And thanks a million to everyone involved in the making of this anniversary video! 💗🥰
Satya is like a mystical character. We don't know who he is where he came from, no commentary given on his appearance, it just starts off a new person visits Bombay the city of dreams with no dreams. And best part is everyone else in the movie is also clueless about him like the audience - "Hai kya hai yeh Satya". RGV you are a cult of personality to create this cult classic. What he did here was simply magic.
The actor in the title role and the lead actress are absent from this interview and yet the makers and our favorite actors in the movie are all present! Thank you Ramusir for this classic
It's worth mentioning that the success of "Satya" was not only attributed to the actors but also to RGV's direction, storytelling, and technical prowess. RGV's innovative camera work, gripping screenplay, and realistic depiction of Mumbai's underworld contributed to the film's success and its lasting impact on Indian cinema. Manoj Bajpayee as Bhiku Mhatre: Manoj Bajpayee's portrayal of Bhiku Mhatre, an influential gangster, was widely appreciated. His nuanced performance showcased his versatility as an Saurabh Shukla as Kallu Mama: Saurabh Shukla played the role of Kallu Mama, a quirky and cunning character. His impeccable comic timing and portrayal of a gangster's right-hand man added an entertaining element to the film. Overall, "Satya" stands as a testament to RGV's filmmaking skills and his ability to bring out remarkable performances from his actors.
RGV was woke before we knew the word woke in India. Movies he made back then had the impact for us millenials, which is like a staple for today's generation - but that's why we understand the value of it. RGV & Kashyap- The disruptors hindi cinema needed
When Manoj speaks about Ramu, I can see that freaking conviction in his eyes that he’s so overwhelmed even recalling that while talking this, that he might cry even speaking this ❤
I saw this movie 1st day 1st show. went because It was Ramu's film.Beeku Matre's hangover was there for many days. RGV is one of the Best film maker in Indian Cinema and introduced so many artists to Indian Cinema,miss his movies.
It would be worth to make a 'Making of Satya' documentary, with the whole cast and crew. Please take your time, script it out, and insert the 'happy incidents' and surprise yourselves.
RGV has been a celluloid scientist who keeps experimenting with various ways of film making and stories, some might work well and some may not, but he always tries to explore new avenues! Unmatchable Director, actually The Director of the Directors!
Thank you for bringing back the memories of watching satya...its one of the best underworld movie made in india and the way Ramu showed mumbai in satya no one explore that side before. Beautiful.
The pivotal moment in Hindi cinema is this masterpiece. It was a rare moment when it stood head and shoulders with World Cinema. Phenomenal actors, writers and a phenomenal director. The success of a film is the impact it creates and how even after so many years, people remember it. 'Satya' went one step further in which it even influenced pop culture. Just imagine the references that people still use from this film.
I remember watching this movie in Borivali West the week it came out. Actually i had gone to watch one of those Pyaar movies being talked about but didnt get ticket.😂 I have never seen, before or after, the connect a movie has with audience. People laughing at Chander's joke ( Poora Mumbai lafde mein blast ho gaya aur Satya ekdam fast ho gaya!), Manoj Vajapayees acting, Bhaudas Jhawle you name. After watching the movie i remember walking back home ro Kandivali. No auto no nothing. Just walking away with memories. What a movie!!
One thing I like about Satya and Ramu's Filmmaking is that even in a violent movie he gels the romance so deeply , whic is absent in Anurag Kashyaps or any other Gangster Movies Directors Films
RGV is always a brilliant filmmaker even if his current films are bombing .. he literally changed the process of film making … whether it’s the lighting, camera angles , music , background score , the edits and every other aspect … I just hope he is back at making more films with better commitment..
I watch lot of talk shows in realm of film making. This specific one is by far the best one i cherished listening to Satya. Presence of Ramu made my day. Heard him in a talk show for the first time. Love from Canada.
RGV's to the point and funny story telling really got me!! Especially the ones about "Kya Ramu! Paresh ko maar daala?" and the one about Salman Khan's Bandhan😂😂
No matter what he is what he is. He had also clearly mentioned all his superhits are accidental and flops are intentional. He's such a man with clarity who once told, a director is the only secondary artist in the making of a entire film. All others who contributed would be the primary artists. So it is the director who picks or takes what he wants from each of the artist and make it a film. So now finally, there's no need of discovering that RGV is lucky or he is overrated etc... " If u praise me beyond what I am or praise me below what I actually am I think u as a fool. Only I know who I am" - RGV
@@nayanjyotikalita7535 not about cult. It’s a well made film with lot of subtext. Anupama already discussed this- ruclips.net/video/MpM-dxSY0qI/видео.html . But my comment was more about the rarest coming together of 3 top filmmakers of that period - Mani Ratnam, RGV and Shekhar Kapur… who brought in Gulzar, ARR, Lata Mangeshkar, Santosh Sivan… lot of firsts. Surely a lot can be unpacked when we get them all in a room together.
My favourite scene is the jewellery shop scene when Chander asks Bhikhu to buy gifts for couple of his 'girlfriends '. I remember I was in school when one of my bossom friend came talking so highly of this film. He narrated the scene mentioned above and we all were sold for the first show next day in the only cinema theatre in my town. We liked it so much that we watched one show everyday four the entire week. Great film.
Ram gopal verma will not have a comeback today but the fact is what he has done in past is undeniable no one can ignore his movies .

Good to see RGV in an interview which is actually about his film and not himself.
Say what you want about RGV losing his sheen, this interview proves that even now he is streets ahead of other directors in the way he looks at films. He’s not just a consummate director, he’s a colossus of talent. Hope he makes a comeback. He’s due.
Irrespective of whoever says/comments what " HE IS AND REMAINS THE ONE AND ONLY ONE - RGV - THE GENIUS " just like SACHIN TENDULKAR (GOD)
People might troll ramgopal Varma today. But he changed Indian cinema forever. His assistants went to all parts of country and replicated the same. He is the GOAT ! Still remember the goosebumps I got while watching Satya and company.
The fact that when I go through these comments proves that all the fans of RGV are so intelligent to get his brilliance
Manoj Bhajpayee speaks English so well and with excellent fluency, vocabulary and grammar. I know he learnt and learnt v well. Well done!
Thank you Anupama Mam for taking me 25 years back. I had seen this landmark film in Bhopal and I love RGV for what he was and the way he changed the cinema making in India. Thanks everyone . Congratulations on Satys's Silver Jublee 🎉🎉
In its core , satya is a movie which shows human emotions naked..and we can relate to it at any time ..
Gotta love Manoj Bajpayee's energy in this ! Just bubbling with happiness and basking in the reminiscence. Love you, Mr. Mhatre !
Nobody has mentioned here about the background score of the movie. I think it was also the main highlights of the film. Sandeep Chowtha did a remarkable job.
Yes 👍
100% his work is wonderful
RGV and his factory gave Hindi cinema such stellar actors and directors. The guy is a legend, a genius.
Everytime Anupama looks at Ramu she’s thinking “oh what a genius… kya ho gaya issko”
How Manoj has shaped up and what a great performer saurabh has been...fantastic guys...keep going and keep us entertained...
It is one of the best movies i adore since my childhood. #RGVSupremacy ❤
Manoj Bajpayee standing at sea side of the enormous Mumbai landscape, with that sinister and crazy laughter celebrating his victory by shouting to the entire city: "Mumbai ka don kaun, Bhiku Mhatra". #Iconic
Share your favorite scene from Satya. Watch the full movie here: ruclips.net/video/HMLdEV-k5zw/видео.html
The scene where Satya confesses to Bhiku Matra that he is afraid of losing Vidya.
There are many, but the one that stands out (for me) with the most repeat value, is the entire scene at Kallu Mama's office after Chandar's death. The icing on the cake is Sandeep Chowta's haunting background score when Satya lands the idea of killing the commissioner. Still gives me the chills and goosebumps even after 25 years. 🤟🔥
@@crmznize The guy with the long hair sits in the background quietly listening to the whole intense conversation.
Ram Gopal Varma, though successful in the Hindi film industry, may not have thrived as much if he had made movies in Malayalam. The rich craft and exceptional storytelling of Malayalam filmmakers have set a high standard in the industry. While filmmaking is subjective, the distinctiveness of Malayalam cinema presents a challenging landscape that might have overshadowed Varma's style and approach.
Best scene, when shefali’s character goes to meet Manoj’s character in jail! Their banter, his response…..never was such depiction of a hard core villain shown in movies!! Excellence was oozing out of product standing on strong screenplay, nurtured by visionary director and brought to life by amazing actors!
Best gangster, rowdism movie made till date. Realistic. Great characters, screenplay, story, BGM. No wonder it was a great hit.
RGV comes up with a vision, engages the best talent, takes as many chances as possible and executes his plans!! He is one of the great thinkers of our generation!!
Rgv a wonderful filmmaker, amazing talent you can listen to him for hours.
One scene that I found the best out of satya was , when bhau was killed amidst ganpati visarjan . The allegory that they drew at that moment was something that I had got shaken by , also the moment when bhau's body floats and everything around him drowns into the silence of post destruction. Samandar gulps whatever comes its way , mightiest of mighties are fringe before this mighty Samandar.
And at the beginning of that scene you hear ganesh Aarti in the background
Why haven’t they considered a re-release of Satya …it would be great to watch this film in a theatre ❤❤❤
Absolutely, infact I was checking in bookmyshow
SERIOUSLY
No. It would tarnish its great reputation. Chashmebaddoor, Gadar 1 and some other classics were re released too and were removed after two days. Its a bad idea. Film theatres dont work on emotions. It costs money.
@@andy-pf5hsre release culture is not so popular in Bollywood atleast currently but currently in South re released movies are making crores just in one day
I specifically proposed this idea to Ramu in a tweet. Looks like he didn't look at it.
Wow, what an incredible milestone! Congratulations to the entire team of Film Companion and Anupama Chopra for conducting a remarkable interview with the cast of the iconic Hindi film Satya on its 25th anniversary. It's truly remarkable to see such a significant film being celebrated and acknowledged even after a quarter of a century.
Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the making of this masterpiece and allowing us to relive the magic. The insights shared by the actors and the behind-the-scenes stories must have been absolutely fascinating.
Satya holds a special place in the hearts of cinephiles, and your initiative to commemorate this milestone is praiseworthy. It's wonderful to see the film's impact being recognized and celebrated. It's a testament to its enduring legacy and the talent of the entire team involved.

this feels like a ChatGPT response lol
thanks for treating ramu so respectfully, truly a great film maker, I wish this team once again comes and does some nice crime thriller, like delhi crime, thanks manoj for still saying ramu is good, when ramu is in his own den now..get some good script going man, high time.
One like for Film Companion for bringing this team together ❤️. Can't thank you enough..
One of those interviews where you don’t realize that you were watching this for an hour. I got emotional at many places and I wasn’t even part of this film. I want to give credit to Film Companion who at least give credit to such incredible films.
Unbelievable movie. Never seen such a movie with fantastic characters. Hats off to Ramu ji.
Watched Satya atleast 20+ times... Film still fresh in mind...it's completely RGV film...film start with khadilkar voice and ends with RGV message... very impactful and original...
The current bollywood stands on the shoulder of Satya. Few urecognised actors in the movie are Manoj Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra, Sushant Singh and many more.
@@moviesfunzmania2k24 Vishal Bharadwaj as a music director as well.
I watched Satya in December 2023 for the first time and was completely blown away by the cinematography, world-building, and storytelling of the film. It felt like watching a documentary or a hollywood-level cinematic recording of a sting operation. The characters were so real and relatable that I forgot about the actors' other films and accepted them as the characters of Satya. The dramatic orchestral music only heightened the appeal of the unfolding storyline. It was hard to believe that such a feat could be achieved in 1998. This movie is one of the finest masterpieces of Bollywood. It should be studied and taught in film schools. Hats off to its creators, cast, and crew members. And thanks a million to everyone involved in the making of this anniversary video! 💗🥰
RGV is a phenomenon! India is truly blessed to have a brilliant film-maker like RGV. Undoubtedly one of the GOAT filmmakers.
And a public female toe sucker. Search for RGV Ashu Reddy toes.
Satya is like a mystical character. We don't know who he is where he came from, no commentary given on his appearance, it just starts off a new person visits Bombay the city of dreams with no dreams. And best part is everyone else in the movie is also clueless about him like the audience - "Hai kya hai yeh Satya". RGV you are a cult of personality to create this cult classic. What he did here was simply magic.
The actor in the title role and the lead actress are absent from this interview and yet the makers and our favorite actors in the movie are all present!
Thank you Ramusir for this classic
It's worth mentioning that the success of "Satya" was not only attributed to the actors but also to RGV's direction, storytelling, and technical prowess. RGV's innovative camera work, gripping screenplay, and realistic depiction of Mumbai's underworld contributed to the film's success and its lasting impact on Indian cinema.
Manoj Bajpayee as Bhiku Mhatre: Manoj Bajpayee's portrayal of Bhiku Mhatre, an influential gangster, was widely appreciated. His nuanced performance showcased his versatility as an
Saurabh Shukla as Kallu Mama: Saurabh Shukla played the role of Kallu Mama, a quirky and cunning character. His impeccable comic timing and portrayal of a gangster's right-hand man added an entertaining element to the film.
Overall, "Satya" stands as a testament to RGV's filmmaking skills and his ability to bring out remarkable performances from his actors.

@@afzaljunaidi8157kya kuch jali teri😂
Damn ! I was 5 when i watched this film in theatre with my parents . Today , I feel so so privileged watching it in a big screen .
RGV was woke before we knew the word woke in India. Movies he made back then had the impact for us millenials, which is like a staple for today's generation - but that's why we understand the value of it. RGV & Kashyap- The disruptors hindi cinema needed
No matter what he is doing now RGV always my one of all time favorites. The man who brought real cinema in bollywood at that time.
Really want to see a conversation with rgv and kashyap together
When Manoj speaks about Ramu, I can see that freaking conviction in his eyes that he’s so overwhelmed even recalling that while talking this, that he might cry even speaking this ❤
RGV a true film maker😊 and never take the credit of success. Brilliant person
I saw this movie 1st day 1st show. went because It was Ramu's film.Beeku Matre's hangover was there for many days. RGV is one of the Best film maker in Indian Cinema and introduced so many artists to Indian Cinema,miss his movies.
It would be worth to make a 'Making of Satya' documentary, with the whole cast and crew.
Please take your time, script it out, and insert the 'happy incidents' and surprise yourselves.
It’s a treat to listen to RGV.
RGV has been a celluloid scientist who keeps experimenting with various ways of film making and stories, some might work well and some may not, but he always tries to explore new avenues! Unmatchable Director, actually The Director of the Directors!
Thank you for bringing back the memories of watching satya...its one of the best underworld movie made in india and the way Ramu showed mumbai in satya no one explore that side before. Beautiful.
Thank u Anupama. For the real interview with real people of Indian cinema 🙏
It's our honour to be able to platform them :)
It’s great to listen to Ramu. Straight to the point and just great
Satya and Shiva and Rangeela..!! Enough ..!!
Also bhoot and kaun
Company
RGV screen presence and authority and conviction is so evident!
The pivotal moment in Hindi cinema is this masterpiece. It was a rare moment when it stood head and shoulders with World Cinema. Phenomenal actors, writers and a phenomenal director. The success of a film is the impact it creates and how even after so many years, people remember it. 'Satya' went one step further in which it even influenced pop culture. Just imagine the references that people still use from this film.
I remember watching this movie in Borivali West the week it came out. Actually i had gone to watch one of those Pyaar movies being talked about but didnt get ticket.😂
I have never seen, before or after, the connect a movie has with audience. People laughing at Chander's joke ( Poora Mumbai lafde mein blast ho gaya aur Satya ekdam fast ho gaya!), Manoj Vajapayees acting, Bhaudas Jhawle you name.
After watching the movie i remember walking back home ro Kandivali. No auto no nothing. Just walking away with memories. What a movie!!
One thing I like about Satya and Ramu's Filmmaking is that even in a violent movie he gels the romance so deeply , whic is absent in Anurag Kashyaps or any other Gangster Movies Directors Films
What a comment... Indeed. And it's never over-the-top which Anurag style often ends up, especially his later works.
21:20 ramu revealssuch a core detail n anupama just doesn't acknowledge the brilliance of that decision.. N moves ahead😮😮
RGV is always a brilliant filmmaker even if his current films are bombing .. he literally changed the process of film making … whether it’s the lighting, camera angles , music , background score , the edits and every other aspect …
I just hope he is back at making more films with better commitment..
We used to talk about Nayagan in the late 80s like this film. Proud of such films
I watch lot of talk shows in realm of film making. This specific one is by far the best one i cherished listening to Satya. Presence of Ramu made my day. Heard him in a talk show for the first time.
Love from Canada.
Sad RGV Lost His Golden Touch...😔💔
46:04 That pun of RGV! best part of this whole conversation 😂😂🙌
Yess😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
RGV's to the point and funny story telling really got me!! Especially the ones about "Kya Ramu! Paresh ko maar daala?" and the one about Salman Khan's Bandhan😂😂
I watched this in a packed theater with audiences dancing & screaming and totally enjoying the experience
Hahaha gotta love RGV - even in the middle of this conversation, “and your husband made Kerala Story”👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 still telling it like it is
No matter what he is what he is.
He had also clearly mentioned all his superhits are accidental and flops are intentional.
He's such a man with clarity who once told, a director is the only secondary artist in the making of a entire film. All others who contributed would be the primary artists. So it is the director who picks or takes what he wants from each of the artist and make it a film.
So now finally, there's no need of discovering that RGV is lucky or he is overrated etc...
" If u praise me beyond what I am or praise me below what I actually am I think u as a fool. Only I know who I am" - RGV
Even Dil Se is 25 years old. you should try getting the 3 famous producers of Dil Se together… it would be an epic interview.
Dil Se ain't a cult 🥵 only the songs are
Mani Ratnam's trilogy on terrorism I think roja was best followed by bombay and dil se
@@nayanjyotikalita7535 not about cult. It’s a well made film with lot of subtext. Anupama already discussed this- ruclips.net/video/MpM-dxSY0qI/видео.html . But my comment was more about the rarest coming together of 3 top filmmakers of that period - Mani Ratnam, RGV and Shekhar Kapur… who brought in Gulzar, ARR, Lata Mangeshkar, Santosh Sivan… lot of firsts. Surely a lot can be unpacked when we get them all in a room together.
@@nayanjyotikalita7535it is a cult
My favourite scene is the jewellery shop scene when Chander asks Bhikhu to buy gifts for couple of his 'girlfriends '.
I remember I was in school when one of my bossom friend came talking so highly of this film. He narrated the scene mentioned above and we all were sold for the first show next day in the only cinema theatre in my town. We liked it so much that we watched one show everyday four the entire week.
Great film.
I have done a film
With Ramu ….& the man is unlike any other filmmaker I have worked with.
Must be a great learning experience
