@@dark_door500lol Those movies are not even close lmao.. Easily two of the worst movies of the year from the South Movie industry. Not gonna talk about the entire India cause North people watch Garbage like Jawan, Kisi ki bhai kisi ki Jaan...etc
He is master of making Non linear movies. Vada Chennai is one of the best movie in India. Detailing, Characterization will be master piece and script is flawless in his movies. I suggest u to watch Aadukalam first
SSE should have it's individual round table for a lot of spoiler talk! It's so so so so so so so good. I'm waiting for it to come to ott to watch it again
Vetri could easily be the most philosophically right and commercially successful director now.. he's clearly above par comparing his contemporary film makers
@@AjithKumar-gs6wr balumagendra itself a ideology. There is no surprise his student make a movie with core ideology and collection. But karthick is a self made person who didn't work under any director.. Maybe it might take him some time but he is also stuff guy!!!
There's no denying the fact that kartick is stuffed director.. but my claim is that vetri's socio-political knowledge and infusing that in so called commercial cinema is way ahead of his fellow directors.
1:12:40 Hemanth smile when karthik said Side A... Proud of what you created Hemanth. Trust me, i dont mind spending 600+ rupees/ticket on your movies as i feel it will be worth it. i watched sitting in recliner but felt i was in edge of my heart watching what's happening
Good to see Jio Baby (Maker of The Great Indian Kitchen) this is the first time I'm seeing him in a Interview I'll understand..(cuz most of his are in South language)
Actually BR called him last year also for Galatta plus round table. That’s where I noticed him first, he alone made sense among the whole lot last year. Do check that out also.
Very engaging roundtable. All of them spoke straight from the heart, no pretensions. Highly impressed by the way Hemant Rao was so articulate. He is so genuine, every word he speaks touches your heart. Was amazed by Karan Johar 's insights too. It's not often that he lets us have a peek into this aspect of him.
I feel immensely proud as a Bengali , as Konkona is the only female who has made it to that couch along with the others !!!! Great going....suuper proud !!! She absolutely has that element in her !!
Such profound thought processes and brought to the table by Hemanth Rao. Amazing to see directors discussing the challenges they faced in great detail, and their approach and thought process in different circumstances. Konkona listens so keenly and is absolutely involved in the discussion. So much to learn from how she conducted herself. It’s a delight to hear the directors of the South Indian film industry talk about their experiences, and narrate the sincerity and dedication they have towards their craft and their vision for a cinema!

What an honour for Hemant Rao! Directors like Karan & Karthik picking SSE as their favourites of 2023! Finally Namma Kannada Cinema receiving much deserved appreciation. All thanks to Rakshit Shetty and Hemanth Rao
Soo proud to be an Indian first but to see so many South Indian directors being invited and applauding them for their work! Such simple guys these are!! 😍😍😍
Omg, i noticed same thing too..lol... Seems like one can read through Konkona's mind when she was watching Vetri talking 😂❤... hahaha... "Vetri is the man, man"😊. I have to agree with you. Marry her if someone watches Vetrimaran as Konkona Sen 😂❤
With due respect and utmost respect to all the directors, I’m here voor Jeo Baby Sir. To make a movie like ” The Great Indian Kitchen” is from a genius level. When I saw it the first time I was speechless , dumbfounded.. Then I went and saw it now 20x or more, I swear
Pl do watch. All his 3 or actually 4 movies are gems. He wrote part of the screenplay of andhadhun also . SSE side A and B are just sheer art and poetry
Unexpected adda✨ Karan and vetri same here space😹 I never expected this one and hemanth rao, Karthick subbaraj and nelson my favourite's all are same space such a lovable moment❤️🙌🏼
I think many of them explained what Nelson actually did with Jailer. Yes, it was all this slow-mo mass elevating scenes but he absolutely redefined it. To make such big stars in the film to do ntg yet bring the mass factor out by their planned executions was indeed refreshing. Now, that's a redefining commercial cinema. To make thalaivar be a regular guy and give a comeback at the right time with the right screenplay was such a refreshing moment.
@@Asecret-rd1qe every cinema genre has own set of audience, and they are making film just to satisfy the right audience, (as a viewer we must have choice to choose the film that we watch), so dont choose the movie which is not your genre and save your hundreds of rs (if you don't understand a thing means it doesnt mean to look like shit)
@@Asecret-rd1qe You just confidently saying you have bad taste aesthetically. Your life would be much better if you try to uplift the taste. Just a suggestion 🙏
Really happy to see Nelson get the credit he deserves. He deserves this year, especially given how Sudha Kongara hasn't done anything in 3 years and she still got invited for a roundtable. Directors who actually released a movie this year should be given immediate consideration.
All directors respects each other.. Seeing this itself is a positive vibe... Jeo Baby, Nelson, Karan, Konkona, Vetrimaran, Karthik, Hemant.. Dnt knw one directors name.. Coming to film companion and Galatta plus for the directors is giving public huge expectations and respect❤❤❤... Great interview and the interviewer.. ❤
Im so happy to see Nelson coming back to Director's Adda since Doctor 2021. Literally, after all the hatred and abuse he got from Vijay's Beast, he came has comeback strong with Rajinikanth's Jailer ❤❤
This roundtable is just gold❤ after baddy's roundtable and actors on actors seeing this what an amazing year end. And anupama chopra is great as always in conducting roundtables. Just missing mani sir here and please bring aishwarya to the actors roundtable pleaseeee. We need more discussions on the sheer brilliance of Ponniyin Selvan!
Of all the directors who are here, so happy to see Jeo Baby give credit to the two writers of Kaathal, Adarsh Sukumaran and Paulson Skaria. Proud that he used this platform to promote Shruthy Saranyam’s (LGBTQI+ filmmaker) movie B12 to B44 vare which faced multiple hurdles for release. Jeo Baby is an excellent example of walking the talk-when you use the seat at the table that you earned to spotlight others who don’t have it yet! For those complaining about his English, his words have far more impact than any of the others there in stark contrast to Karan Johar. And to the Vanga fans, watch Jeo Baby’s Kaathal-The Core, another excellent example of men who are super secure in their manhood and talent that they can tell the story of a homosexual individual and their family with deep sensitivity and empathy. Kudos to Mammotty, artist and human being par excellence!
Apart from watching Vetrimaran, Karthik Subburaj and Nelson amongst these amazing directors. I was happy to see Jeo being able to convey things in his own way, despite english not being a language he is comfortable with, it can be very overwhelming for a person in such a scenario but I am glad he got through it by communicating and getting things across in his own way. Shows that when it comes to art you have to have a good hold of the language you are making films in and you have to be good in the art of film making which all of these people are.. Want to see films mentioned in the video especially Sapta Sagaradaache Ello and Kaathal.. Great presentation yet again by Anupama..
Why haven't you invited any Marathi directors to the Roundtable 2023? Best marathi film list in 2023: Vaalvi- paresh mokashi Tendalya - Sachin Jadhav Nachiket Waikar Territory - Sachin Shriram Aatmapamphlet - Ashish Bende Shyamchi Aai - sujay dahake Naal 2: Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti
What an amazing show where we got to see and hear some of my favourite directors. Can't wait for the end of the year when I can see SSE side B on amazon prime. Waiting for viduthalai 2. Must catch Jigardhanda duplex and Kathal the core in the OTT platforms. It would be wonderful if FCS can announce the dates for the OTT releases of the films of all these directors. Thanks.
Guess you should do Music Directors Adda... Cause they are obviously are soul of the movies... Jailer - Rockstar Anirudh Jigarthanda - Santhosh Narayan Saptha Sagaradache Ello - Charan Raj Rocky and Rani - Amit Trivedi
Kudos to FC for this Roundtable. What a choice Filmmaker you guys have brought this year. Also, Anu mam, you have mastered the skill of interviewing. Absolutely loved it.
So...how many years before a Screenwriters' Adda? I mean there's constant lip service how crucial good scripts are for movies got damn! We want to hear what writers have to say!! ❤
A possible list for Screenwriters adda Juhi Chathurvedi Bhavani Iyer Syam Pushkaran Varun Grover Also there should be a separate adda for filmmakers who exclusively write their own scripts. That's a very unique trait too.
I think there are enough platforms that hear Director's experiences. And despite a lot of director's writing their own movies, weak scripts is still a problem in the mainstream space. Trained Screenwriters' have started streaming into the film industry since the formation of the Screenwriting Course at FTII in Pune. We want to hear how the hell are these guys surviving and what are they doing to tell their stories?
Loved this. The concept of a director roundtable is such a treat for cinephiles. Listening to Vetrimaaran is almost like attending a masterclass on how to make films. Thank you for this!
Wow Film Companion. I thought last year's Kamal Hasan and Rajamouli Adda could not be surpassed. But u have outdone yourselves this time. This was so, so good. I had planned to watch this in 3 seatings but ended up watching it in one.❤ Absolute masterclass!
Vetri long shot basically means he took a challenge and decided to tell a story with his long shot and allow audience to understand the rest. He was concerned about individual cuts might deviate the audience attention from the bigger story. Such long shots you can see in Fargo, directors like Cohen brothers tend to do long shots often.
How much I love Konkona! ok a fun fact:I used to watch Anu on NDTV's picture this(I hope I am right) and then on Star World's Front Row, Right!!! I was so young and more than a film star actor I used to be fascinated by Anu(Calling her "Anu")because I love her. I wanted to be a journalist. And among the top shots on Indian TV, she was my fav. Still is.And yes now I feel sneha is just an Amazing new talent.❤❤❤
Have to say, KJo and Vetrimaaran just stole the limelight from everyone in this interview. Both have such a great vision, even though their movie making style is miles apart❤❤
@@SimV239 Im from south and know all the directors in and out. I was just saying that it was such a bliss to listen to those two compared to others. They have better clarity while speaking than others
Hemanth Rao has given us two GEMS this year.. Sapta Sagaradache Ello side A and Side B! ❤ I have so much respect for him and in my opinion, he is the BEST director on this panel. ❤
Vetrimaaran has built good reputation. His all films are hit. That's why Viduthalai Producer is not afraid of budget. He knew that the movie will become superhit and he will get the money. If its vetrimaaran's film Dhanush will say ok to act without even asking story. Even if I have crores of money I will give money to make his dream project without any compromise.
JEO BABY IS A GREAT DIRECTOR FELT HE WAS BIT NERVOUS ABOUT HIS LANGUAGE ISSUE LOVE THIS GUYS MOVIES ❤ just The Great indian kitchen is enough to show his talent❤❤
This is what I don't understand about Kerala.. if you have studied in an English medium school, you should be able to speak the language..and just in case someone tries to speak the language, either they try to bring that person down or make it seem like they did something great..

She is at least one of top 3 directors sitting there

Thank you bro 🙌
For people who want to watch Vetrimaran's movie here is the list,
Asuran (Dhanush in lead)
Vada chennai (Dhanush in lead)
Aadukalam (Dhanush in lead)
Visaranai
Polladhavan
Viduthalai
Paava kathaigal one episode
Visaranai should be there in the above list.
Watch all his movies because all his films are soooo good my favourite was polladhavan Vada chennai asuran adukalam and every movie actually
Vetrimaaran - Viduthalai 1.
Karthik Subbaraj - Jigarthanda Double X.
Nelson - Jailer.
3 different types of movie from Tamil 🎉
Jailer was outta syllabus
Tamil domination 🔥🫶🏻
Jailer is not in the same level lmao
It’s like child’s play
@@-a7132 unfortunately chiththaa shouldve
It was good@@spreadloveandequality
SSE side A and B ....it's not everyones cup of tea.... realistic,soothy tale for grown ups 🎉😊❤
just finished watching karthik subbaraj's jigarthanda doublex on netflix. easily the best movie of the year
It’s a masterpiece
Have you watched the first one? The last part of Double X reference to first one.
Yes, better than jailer and thunivu
@@dark_door500lol Those movies are not even close lmao.. Easily two of the worst movies of the year from the South Movie industry. Not gonna talk about the entire India cause North people watch Garbage like Jawan, Kisi ki bhai kisi ki Jaan...etc
Happy to see my favourite tamil directors - Vetrimaran and Karthik Subbaraj, Nelson also enjoyed Sapta Sagaradaache Ello from Kannada
omg i heard Vetri Maraan's story 3 times already, hillarious! Love the honesty and now i'm going to watch his films right away
jusy you wanted likes
He is master of making Non linear movies. Vada Chennai is one of the best movie in India. Detailing, Characterization will be master piece and script is flawless in his movies. I suggest u to watch Aadukalam first
Start with Visaranai pls..
SSE should have it's individual round table for a lot of spoiler talk! It's so so so so so so so good. I'm waiting for it to come to ott to watch it again
Nija👍
It's still running in theaters
@@soumyacs1552 I know. That's why I've said '...to watch it AGAIN'😅😅
Vetri maaran - nelson - kjo!
So pumped up for this
Vetri could easily be the most philosophically right and commercially successful director now.. he's clearly above par comparing his contemporary film makers
That means you don't know karthick...
@@Iravathan just curious.. how is jagame thandhiram, mercury and mahaan a commercial success compared to any of vetri's creations
@@AjithKumar-gs6wr balumagendra itself a ideology. There is no surprise his student make a movie with core ideology and collection. But karthick is a self made person who didn't work under any director.. Maybe it might take him some time but he is also stuff guy!!!
There's no denying the fact that kartick is stuffed director.. but my claim is that vetri's socio-political knowledge and infusing that in so called commercial cinema is way ahead of his fellow directors.
@@AjithKumar-gs6wr yes, that is not everyone's piece of cake .. But karthick is on the right path.. Maybe a step behind the vetri..
1:12:40 Hemanth smile when karthik said Side A... Proud of what you created Hemanth. Trust me, i dont mind spending 600+ rupees/ticket on your movies as i feel it will be worth it. i watched sitting in recliner but felt i was in edge of my heart watching what's happening
Good to see Jio Baby (Maker of The Great Indian Kitchen) this is the first time I'm seeing him in a Interview I'll understand..(cuz most of his are in South language)
Kadhal the core another watch
The Great Indian Kitchen has been remake into multiple languages.
Jio baby is a really good name 😂😂
Vetri speaks for Nelson looks like a guide helps his student during viva voice when the student struggles to explain
Timing??
@@ArunKumar-sx9fj21:30 bro
So happy that Heamnth Rao representing kannada film industry he is truly a asset of kfi ♥️♥️ sapta sagaradache ello truly a cult classic 🎉
So true. Cult classic 💛❤️ SSE is a masterpiece
Actually BR called him last year also for Galatta plus round table. That’s where I noticed him first, he alone made sense among the whole lot last year. Do check that out also.
Really happy to see Hemanth Rao receive all the accolades and recognition he deserves.
Thanks a lot for this very enriching video, Team FC.
Very engaging roundtable. All of them spoke straight from the heart, no pretensions. Highly impressed by the way Hemant Rao was so articulate. He is so genuine, every word he speaks touches your heart. Was amazed by Karan Johar 's insights too. It's not often that he lets us have a peek into this aspect of him.
I feel immensely proud as a Bengali , as Konkona is the only female who has made it to that couch along with the others !!!! Great going....suuper proud !!! She absolutely has that element in her !!
Suggest some of feel good movie of her
Wake up sid

Vetrimaarans story shows that the best directors have toughest of days
Such profound thought processes and brought to the table by Hemanth Rao. Amazing to see directors discussing the challenges they faced in great detail, and their approach and thought process in different circumstances. Konkona listens so keenly and is absolutely involved in the discussion. So much to learn from how she conducted herself. It’s a delight to hear the directors of the South Indian film industry talk about their experiences, and narrate the sincerity and dedication they have towards their craft and their vision for a cinema!

What an honour for Hemant Rao! Directors like Karan & Karthik picking SSE as their favourites of 2023! Finally Namma Kannada Cinema receiving much deserved appreciation. All thanks to Rakshit Shetty and Hemanth Rao
Kannada Pride
The entire show has been nailed by South Indian directors. Allow them to succeed in their future projects; we will always be there for them. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Soo proud to be an Indian first but to see so many South Indian directors being invited and applauding them for their work! Such simple guys these are!! 😍😍😍
Abbhinaya ? Your name is South Indian too
Marry her if someone watches vetrimaran as Konkona sen , Vetrimaran is On Another Level
Omg, i noticed same thing too..lol... Seems like one can read through Konkona's mind when she was watching Vetri talking 😂❤... hahaha... "Vetri is the man, man"😊. I have to agree with you. Marry her if someone watches Vetrimaran as Konkona Sen 😂❤
Vetri's bold statement started 1:22:38 that too infront of Karan Joker 😂
When vetri speaks, the world listens. What a masterful director.
With due respect and utmost respect to all the directors, I’m here voor Jeo Baby Sir.
To make a movie like ” The Great Indian Kitchen” is from a genius level.
When I saw it the first time I was speechless , dumbfounded..
Then I went and saw it now 20x or more, I swear
Watch kaathal..
The great Indian kitchen, in which Hindu family it is happening I don’t know… in tamilnadu I’m not aware of these kinda of incident at all
Loving how the film director hemanth speaks . Should watch his movies
Pl do watch. All his 3 or actually 4 movies are gems. He wrote part of the screenplay of andhadhun also . SSE side A and B are just sheer art and poetry
Yes his movies are paced slower. But they do show a lot in the slower pace.
@@Asecret-rd1qe that I agree. Superiority complex with being a niche audience is a thing
Jeo baby...kathal the core❤❤
Unexpected adda✨
Karan and vetri same here space😹 I never expected this one and hemanth rao, Karthick subbaraj and nelson my favourite's all are same space such a lovable moment❤️🙌🏼
I think many of them explained what Nelson actually did with Jailer. Yes, it was all this slow-mo mass elevating scenes but he absolutely redefined it. To make such big stars in the film to do ntg yet bring the mass factor out by their planned executions was indeed refreshing. Now, that's a redefining commercial cinema. To make thalaivar be a regular guy and give a comeback at the right time with the right screenplay was such a refreshing moment.
True
Yes bro
Actors roundtable: eager to talk about themselves
Directors roundtable: eager to listen about everyone else .
Basically it's EGO VS TALENT
V right
Actors are like that... They just want to talk about themselves. It about selling themselves all the time for them.
Hemanth Rao's movies are like poetry, and he talks like poetry too.
@@Asecret-rd1qepoetry making is for true cinema enjoyers , if you don't get it then sleep peacefully in theaters
@@Asecret-rd1qe every cinema genre has own set of audience, and they are making film just to satisfy the right audience, (as a viewer we must have choice to choose the film that we watch), so dont choose the movie which is not your genre and save your hundreds of rs (if you don't understand a thing means it doesnt mean to look like shit)
@@Asecret-rd1qe You just confidently saying you have bad taste aesthetically. Your life would be much better if you try to uplift the taste.
Just a suggestion 🙏
@@Asecret-rd1qe 100 times better than shit jawan pathaan gawar 2
Really happy to see Nelson get the credit he deserves. He deserves this year, especially given how Sudha Kongara hasn't done anything in 3 years and she still got invited for a roundtable.
Directors who actually released a movie this year should be given immediate consideration.
They wanted female representation that's all
This is Konkana Sen Sharma, not Sudha Kongura. Get your facts right.
All directors respects each other.. Seeing this itself is a positive vibe... Jeo Baby, Nelson, Karan, Konkona, Vetrimaran, Karthik, Hemant.. Dnt knw one directors name.. Coming to film companion and Galatta plus for the directors is giving public huge expectations and respect❤❤❤... Great interview and the interviewer.. ❤
Avinash Arun (Three of us )
Im so happy to see Nelson coming back to Director's Adda since Doctor 2021. Literally, after all the hatred and abuse he got from Vijay's Beast, he came has comeback strong with Rajinikanth's Jailer ❤❤
+1 ❤
L movie tho
Beast was horrible but jailer was Average not good ...
Jailer was at best average
Let see the reaction's of Kon kona sen sharma while she hearing to Vetrimaaran's narration about Viduthalai Single shot scene ❤❤
Karthik shows how cinema can be powerfull toll where vetrimaaran is doing that❤
This roundtable is just gold❤ after baddy's roundtable and actors on actors seeing this what an amazing year end. And anupama chopra is great as always in conducting roundtables. Just missing mani sir here and please bring aishwarya to the actors roundtable pleaseeee. We need more discussions on the sheer brilliance of Ponniyin Selvan!
Of all the directors who are here, so happy to see Jeo Baby give credit to the two writers of Kaathal, Adarsh Sukumaran and Paulson Skaria. Proud that he used this platform to promote Shruthy Saranyam’s (LGBTQI+ filmmaker) movie B12 to B44 vare which faced multiple hurdles for release. Jeo Baby is an excellent example of walking the talk-when you use the seat at the table that you earned to spotlight others who don’t have it yet! For those complaining about his English, his words have far more impact than any of the others there in stark contrast to Karan Johar. And to the Vanga fans, watch Jeo Baby’s Kaathal-The Core, another excellent example of men who are super secure in their manhood and talent that they can tell the story of a homosexual individual and their family with deep sensitivity and empathy. Kudos to Mammotty, artist and human being par excellence!
Apart from watching Vetrimaran, Karthik Subburaj and Nelson amongst these amazing directors. I was happy to see Jeo being able to convey things in his own way, despite english not being a language he is comfortable with, it can be very overwhelming for a person in such a scenario but I am glad he got through it by communicating and getting things across in his own way. Shows that when it comes to art you have to have a good hold of the language you are making films in and you have to be good in the art of film making which all of these people are..
Want to see films mentioned in the video especially Sapta Sagaradaache Ello and Kaathal.. Great presentation yet again by Anupama..
Why haven't you invited any Marathi directors to the Roundtable 2023?
Best marathi film list in 2023:
Vaalvi- paresh mokashi
Tendalya - Sachin Jadhav Nachiket Waikar
Territory - Sachin Shriram
Aatmapamphlet - Ashish Bende
Shyamchi Aai - sujay dahake
Naal 2: Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti
Konkana isn't Marathi??
@@serioton4331 she is Bengoli.
Arun Avinash is Marathi
Anupama is cliche - Marathi movies were best this year but she thinks it is Tamil
@@maheshgs3 why
What an amazing show where we got to see and hear some of my favourite directors. Can't wait for the end of the year when I can see SSE side B on amazon prime. Waiting for viduthalai 2. Must catch Jigardhanda duplex and Kathal the core in the OTT platforms. It would be wonderful if FCS can announce the dates for the OTT releases of the films of all these directors. Thanks.
Jiguthanda Doublex - Today OTT Release
Which Ott?@@evanglinerebecca3904
I can watch Konkana's reaction for hours!
Yes.. she was such a treat to watch and listen to !
Guess you should do Music Directors Adda... Cause they are obviously are soul of the movies...
Jailer - Rockstar Anirudh
Jigarthanda - Santhosh Narayan
Saptha Sagaradache Ello - Charan Raj
Rocky and Rani - Amit Trivedi
rocky aur rani was composed by pritam bro
Kudos to FC for this Roundtable. What a choice Filmmaker you guys have brought this year. Also, Anu mam, you have mastered the skill of interviewing. Absolutely loved it.
Congratulations hemant Rao for Sapta sagrdaache ello side A&B ...❤
So...how many years before a Screenwriters' Adda? I mean there's constant lip service how crucial good scripts are for movies got damn! We want to hear what writers have to say!! ❤
Absolutely true!!!! So much lip service but how often do the script writers get invited for an invigorating discussion on the art of screen writing.
A possible list for Screenwriters adda
Juhi Chathurvedi
Bhavani Iyer
Syam Pushkaran
Varun Grover
Also there should be a separate adda for filmmakers who exclusively write their own scripts. That's a very unique trait too.
they used to do that before covid
Unfortunately Nelson Karthik and Vetri write their own scripts don’t they
I think there are enough platforms that hear Director's experiences. And despite a lot of director's writing their own movies, weak scripts is still a problem in the mainstream space. Trained Screenwriters' have started streaming into the film industry since the formation of the Screenwriting Course at FTII in Pune. We want to hear how the hell are these guys surviving and what are they doing to tell their stories?
Jeo Baby Legendary Megastar Mammootty Sir Kaathal the Core ♥😘😍
Class Movie ♥♥
As a kannaadiga , for me the proud feel is SSE side a and b is the main talk of this show ❤
That Kannada guy knows things!
He is here to stay!
He is Heamanth M Rao
Karthik Subburaj × Vettrimaraan × Nelson . ⭐
Kaathal the core.... his malayalam accent ❤
Vetris tamil accent ❤
Loved this. The concept of a director roundtable is such a treat for cinephiles. Listening to Vetrimaaran is almost like attending a masterclass on how to make films. Thank you for this!
Wow Film Companion. I thought last year's Kamal Hasan and Rajamouli Adda could not be surpassed. But u have outdone yourselves this time. This was so, so good.
I had planned to watch this in 3 seatings but ended up watching it in one.❤ Absolute masterclass!
Vetri long shot basically means he took a challenge and decided to tell a story with his long shot and allow audience to understand the rest. He was concerned about individual cuts might deviate the audience attention from the bigger story. Such long shots you can see in Fargo, directors like Cohen brothers tend to do long shots often.
Am I only one admiring Hemanth M Roa?🛐
Excited for Vetrimaaran 🫡
Disappointed ☹️
How much I love Konkona! ok a fun fact:I used to watch Anu on NDTV's picture this(I hope I am right) and then on Star World's Front Row, Right!!! I was so young and more than a film star actor I used to be fascinated by Anu(Calling her "Anu")because I love her. I wanted to be a journalist. And among the top shots on Indian TV, she was my fav. Still is.And yes now I feel sneha is just an Amazing new talent.❤❤❤
Same ❤
Sameeeee!!!
Speaking or having an idea of representation of a common man across issues is lit Vetri Sir is massive 🔥🔥🔥
The happiness on Hemanth Rao’s face when Kartik and Karan chose SSE movie. Just wow❤
Have to say, KJo and Vetrimaaran just stole the limelight from everyone in this interview. Both have such a great vision, even though their movie making style is miles apart❤❤
There was no limelight to steal.. everyone is amazing.. I think you’re not aware of others work
@@SimV239 Im from south and know all the directors in and out. I was just saying that it was such a bliss to listen to those two compared to others. They have better clarity while speaking than others
Hemanth Rao has given us two GEMS this year.. Sapta Sagaradache Ello side A and Side B!
❤
I have so much respect for him and in my opinion, he is the BEST director on this panel.
❤
😂😂 tells you about the quality of this panel
Just 2 movies won't make you the best.subbaraj and vetri consistently make great films.hemanth only comes after them
@@blachi6265 but I can have an opinion, right? I'm not disrespecting other directors. :)
Great Conversation! Such a delight. It feels great listening to such great people talking about their work.
Vetrimaaran has built good reputation. His all films are hit. That's why Viduthalai Producer is not afraid of budget. He knew that the movie will become superhit and he will get the money. If its vetrimaaran's film Dhanush will say ok to act without even asking story. Even if I have crores of money I will give money to make his dream project without any compromise.
I m very happy to see Jeo Baby there for Kaathal the core of Mammootty, It's one of the sensational movie of 2023.
Very Excited for Hemanth Rao❤🎉🎉
Excited to see Karthik Subbaraj!! Absolutely loooved Jigarthanda double x
9:40 Hemanth's smirk❤❤❤
He is cute.. 😍
JEO BABY IS A GREAT DIRECTOR FELT HE WAS BIT NERVOUS ABOUT HIS LANGUAGE ISSUE
LOVE THIS GUYS MOVIES ❤ just The Great indian kitchen is enough to show his talent❤❤
This is what I don't understand about Kerala.. if you have studied in an English medium school, you should be able to speak the language..and just in case someone tries to speak the language, either they try to bring that person down or make it seem like they did something great..
