It is not Malayalam movies that changed any radically, it is the sensibilities of the non-malayali audience that changed for good.
Never heard such a stupid statement...... actually
If an art is not artistic enough its not the mistake of the spectators but the artist....
padmananthan m that’s because you’re clearly in the habit of saying stupid shit than hearing it.
@@recolian oh did i hurt your ego..... If you want to safe guard your ego kindly express something sensible......
@@padmananthanm8465 I think what he meant is that the quality was already there, but reach outside Kerala wasn't there which probably brought the attention now
ശരിയാണ്
ഇപ്പോൾ കൂടുതൽ മലയാള സിനിമകൾ Non-malayali പ്രേക്ഷകർ കാണാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുന്നുണ്ട് അതിനുള്ള accessibility യും കൂടി: ......like ott platforms
ഇപ്പോഴത്തേക്കാളും എത്ര മികച്ച സിനിമകളും അഭിനയ മുഹൂർത്തങ്ങളും കഥാപാത്രസൃഷ്ടികളും പണ്ടുണ്ടായിരുന്നു '... പക്ഷേ അന്ന് അധികം ആളുകളിൽ എത്തിയിരുന്നില്ല,,,,
Thanx for mentioning Asif ali...... !!!!Even people of our neighbouring states don't know properly about asif.They only celebrate Dulqer, fahad, nivin and prithvi(with all respect, they deserve to be respected). But also Asif is equally talented.
I feel that too
High time Fahad Faazil gets interviewed.... waiting from a long time 😃
Fahad Faazil is a genious...It takes time for BR to prepare questions for Fahad
@Bubbly Srinath that chain snatching movie got him National Award, better try to learn how to review acting skills.
@Bubbly Srinath Go watch other movies of fahadh like trance,artist,carbon,kumbalangi nights and then u would know why he's a genius?
@Bubbly Srinath With all due respect to all the actors you’ve mentioned and this is a very personal opinion; all the actors mentioned after Kamal Hassan could be a dispute in the tag ‘genius’. Vijay Sethupathy might reach to that level in the long run. Mr Bachchan can be termed as a popular star definitely not a genius and I don’t want to talk about the other two.
@Bubbly Srinath if you can call sharukh,aamir and vijay Sethupathy a genius,then i would say fahadh is more than a genius.Because he is a better actor than the mentioned actors.( And I have no opinion that fahadh is genius,but he is an outstanding actor and the best youngster actor we have in Malayalam)
I really wish people notice Bejoy Nambiar’s movies more, he has his own narrative style and it’s really good because most filmmaker’s follow the same staple that is already beaten to death. Been a fan of this guy from Shaitan, also the fact that he keeps going back to Mani Ratnam’s movies to work as an AD shows that he is still learning and evolving. Kudos to you brother 🙌🏻💯
Prithviraj-The multi talented man in Mollywood..
This guy impressed me right from his short film ‛Reflections’ with Mohanlal..Even in the 5 minute act Mohanlal delivered an astonishing performance and will leave you mesmerized with his subtle and natural acting...hopes bejoy will team up with him for a feature film..😍
And have heard or seen any interview or interviewer discussing with Bejoy regarding how that gem of a work got materialized? This is why I was disappointed with this interview along with other reasons.
Got a link of Bejoy interview regarding Reflections. ruclips.net/video/A2_UV_hWuYw/видео.html
Thanx to OTT platforms, novices like me got a chance to see malayalam movies. And what a way to start , with watching Joseph. I got hooked on to malayalam cinema so bad, that in a span of 20 days I have watched more than 30 movies. What's most appealing is that the story is the king of their movies, supported brilliantly by actors who dont go over the top to potray their roles. They just act like drivers to delivery the story with all honesty. One starts feeling connected to their cinema from the word go. And with actors like fawad, prithviraj, Shane nigam, soubin, parvathy and many more, mallu cinema will definitely make in roads to other parts of india.
Bejoy nambiar is extremely talented filmmaker. I am his huge admirer. People should watch all his movie.
This guy is very talented i think, wazir and solo is my favourite. I haven't seen Shaitan, will watch it soon.
5 years ago my gf recommend me ennu ninte moideen...n i just feel in love with malyalam cinema...i have watched almost all movies of Dulqeer, navin Pauli, fahaad, and some movies of Prithviraj. Just awesome movies. If they are promoted properly they will definitely do well in big cities of hindi belt. N bollywood big cities are enough to garner 100cr net easily
You want to watch more films of Prithviraj....
Thank for say Asif Ali name binoy .... Most underrated actor

Fahad Fazil Interview I would like to See
The Complete Actor Mohanlal😍
Solo and David were good. I like Bejoy.
Baradwaj Rangan is the best film journalist and interviewer in India, today. Its always pleasure to listen him always.
Maniretnam is the legend director of indian cinema.
His visuals r simply beautiful.i think he is on his zenith of his career.
Most of the people doesn’t know that even the old Malayalam films were remade into other languages for example tollywood remaked 98 films from Malayalam film but nobody knew it...now bcoz of internet people are understanding what is remake and dubbed before they thought everything was original but it was not.....
Heyy there:) tryin to watch some old classics from Malayalam... any recommendatiins?

I honestly believe Solo doesn't deserve the level of criticism it received then.. the thing was audience expected something different from what Bejoy perceived. I loved it. The making was top notch 👌
Malyalam cinema was always advanced from olden days
Liked Bejoy`s vision and openess... i like his direction, happened to watch Solo in theaters loved it... looking forward to see his new ventures
Want to see a bejoy movie with Mohanlal, Fahadh or Prithvi
Mohanlal❤❤
I just loved bejoy mentioned chopra in his own channel n I too love his attitude in his interviews
It's not Chopra's channel. It's his wife's channel - not the same thing.
Great film maker with good style and technique. Need more of his work.
Great interview, many thanks.
Highlights of this interview-
1. At 15:36 Bejoy talks about working with Vidhu vinod chopra in Wazir and how it turned out to be.
2. At 23 :40 , Bejoy nambiar. talks about staging scene in Kaatru veliyidai, ie available on Prime video and the above mention scene starts from
1:38:24 - 1:42:38 in the film. Thanks
7:34 I disagree....All Malayalees with sense clearly knows that Nivin was an absolute failure in KK....He lacked screen presence and charisma to pull off that character. The cameo of Mohanlal was clearly the saving grace in otherwise a shoddy work. To answer your question, except Prithviraj to a small extent, I don't think an Asif Ali or Pranav or Fahad can do justice to a movie like Devasuram, Narasimham, The King, Commissioner, Lelam etc. Those intellectuals may downride these movies but how many can pull off these movies? Thilakan is a far superior actor than Suresh Gopi or even Mammotty...But can he justify a Joseph Alex or Aanakaatil Chackochi...I don't think so.
Yes, Prithvi has nailed it in Anwar and Urumi. Other than Prithvi, Dq can pull of such roles in future. Also Fahad was good in Iyobinte Pustakam. Nivin has still a long way to go in that kind of roles. Eg. Michael.
Absolutely right
Leonadicaprico wont fit into all roles. But he can be Convincing through whichever characters he plays. Same like Newgen actors will be doing nd the Industry wil Grow. Larger than life movie will happen with them also I believe.
@@Cinemakkaryam Iyobinte Pusthakam or Varathan aren't exactly Mass movie like the ones mentioned....I cannot imagine anyone from young category except Prithvi to pull off an Oormayundo...or Nee padichalla...or Ente Bheeshini... kinda dialogues with an impact...Even Prithvi will struggle because his style is pretty monotonous...DQ has a poor command over Malayalam...We saw him struggling in Kammattipaadam & Oru Yamandan Premakadha.
@Bubbly Srinath No offence...But those actors only know to do those hero centric movies. Not performance oriented.
The point is, Malayalam audience is an educated audience compared to the rest of India. Most of the audience in Bollywood cinema want heroism and commercial cinema. But Malayalam cinema starting way back from Adoor Gopalakrishnan...to Bejoy Nambiar all of them have a really good knowledge about movies, the direction and particularly a story that engages people to think about the reality. That is what makes it different from rest of India. To those who've always been watching Malayalam cinema know that it didn't become great in the corona period, It was always great! And its evolving to a much higher level 💯
Realistic and relatability factor in malayalam moviesis is the thing which makes it successful ❤️
Solo and wazir are masterpiece
My eyes were drawn straight to "The Stanley Kubrick Archives"
"Is this a personal Journey or something that would work for an audience? - What a killer question. In his own subtle way, he reminded Bejoy and us that everything in film making ultimately comes down to how the audience perceives a film.
I don't agree with Bejoy's point that malayalam cinema wasnt that good in 90s.Infact malayalam industry was one of the best in the country in the 80s and 90s.That era gave birth to Mohanlal,Mammooty,Suresh Gopi and dozens of outstanding world class supporting actors(which we lack today) and directors like KG George,Bharathan and Priyadarshan, writers like Padmarajan,Lohithadas and Sreenivasan..It was in 2000s that malayalam cinema deteriorated and gave duds.But it has rebirthed now with the likes of actors like Fahadh and Prithviraj and directors like Lijo pellissery,Dileesh Pothan and Alphonse puthren...But we still lack good writers and supporting actors now..80s were perfect..now is not.
I agree with bejoy. 90s bit overated
@@amirtimur3639 really?? The decade in which movies like Spadikam, Manichitrathazh , Yodha came ? I think you should watch more movies from that decade.
@@jagannathanmenon3708 spadikam a typical tamil masala cinema. yodha is was rip off some English movie. manichitatazhe is good. but lot of time felt over the top acting.
@@amirtimur3639 You think Spadikam is a typical tamil mass masala?? Either your are a blind hater of Mohanlal or you don't know to judge cinema. Better stop watching. Its not your cup of tea.
Bejoy himself said that 80s and early 90s had some of the best movies. What he said was that there was a lull in tbe pate 90s and early 2000s which is quite true.
Dulqur prince of mollywood 🔥🔥😍
Awe ❤️ Fan of Bejoy Nambiar sir 🙏😘😘
One of the few industries in india which makes content driven movies.
Only for Dq and Mohanlal 🔥💓😘❤️😍
Dq myru
corona lock down has totally changed malayalam's quality movies fate. because everybody has surplus time to watch / select different genre movies out of their local movies. now only they were realized
quality of malalyalam movies. b4 it was some sort af masala movies under the label of "south indian" movies. now really surprised to know the people from hindi area, bengali, telugu, kannada, punjabi enjoying mal. movies n their selection of the movies also amazing like TRANS, jallikettu, etc...
Fahad is a very good actor, no doubt about it. But he is no where near to be compared with Mohanlal and Mammotty. He need to do different kinds of roles to be compared with both M’s. Prithvi s also good, but not as good as Fahad when it comes to acting.
No one in the current gen can match Mohanlal Mammooty or Suresh Gopi..But the only one who is capable to atleast come near to them is Fahadh.Prithvi is also very talented,but second to fahadh.
Nobody is compared with any others
Nivin pauly comes first when it comes to versatile characters. Most of the fahad characters are somewhat same lyk a psychee character
Bullshit .....fahad is type casted
@@Dragonfruit233 🤭🤭
Ranjan , i am sure that you know the relevance of Mohanlal and his films or else you won’t use this thumbnail , as a Click bait 🥴
I think B R is extremely obsessed with Mani Ratnam & Kamal Hassan....Not a single mention about his debut work Reflections..... Terrible Flaw...Spent too much time on MR and Kaatru Vilayaadai portion!! Wish I heard more about David & Shaitan more!!
Yea. Like Kamal & Mani's work are the works representing cinema. Really fed up with his obsession.
What do you expect, he wrote a book on him.

baradwaj rangan is a maniratnam worshiper
Audience wants to hear FAHADH..he is a pure gem in present day malayalam film industry
#solo#dq ❤️
Waiting for the questions that BR would ask Fahad.. ❤
7:40 iyyobinte pusthakam
There is this anthology web series directed by bejoy called Flip.Its worth checking out,very underrated.
yyyeeesss
Malayalam cinema even better in 90s 80s but less market no social media OTT it was limited to keral a
Niw due to social media wider market created by actors like mohanlal mammootty ,and OTT ..people exposed to new movies it is just that present generation lucky if same exposure got to mammootty mohanlal...they would have been PAN indian stars now
I am sorry mate but actually you are wrong because , directors like padmarajan , k.G, john are all widely famous director not just in kerala, but all over india . And the reason that mammootty acted as ambhedhkar clearly shows that they were not just closed out in kerala.
@@githingeorge6292 but what why dint mamaotry get a pan indian satr status ? It's that there telent wasn't well recognised back then and even now also. Its fault of indian audience who celebrate medicore acttors like vj salman khan telugu heores as biggest and best
Fahads trance is absolutely wonderfull..all of lijos movies ...
How did you manage a face to face interview ?
This is an old interview
I have seen maheshinte pratikaram , trance , thonndimuthakulam driksakshiyam and kumbalangi night . Is there any other fahadh fasil movie which is worth watching
Definitely "Carbon" and maybe "Iyobinte Pusthakam" too. There are other good films like "Njan Prakashan" and "Oru Indian Pranaya Kadha" but they probably won't blow you away the way, say, a "Thondimuthalum.." might.
Annayum Rasoolum
Amen

Its all about learning😘😘
Can't mark any of malayalam films of 80s and 90s with films of malayalam after 2000 till today
how bt Kireedam, Vadakkan veeragadha, Dasaratham, Thaniavarthanam and a long list from Padmarajan..
...Jayasuriya, Sunny Wayne, Tuvino Thomas, Vineet Srinivas... New stars meant new possibilities!
I think his best work is Wazir. Loved Shaitaan & his short Reflections
Where can I get that film?
@@yathishkumar6735 Wazir is on Netflix, You can watch Shaitan & Reflections on RUclips
Thanks
my fav bejoy
FaFa, DQ 🔥
Great video!!!!!
Not for OTT platforms, it wouldn't have reached such wider audience...
Shaitan is his masterpiece .
Solo 💓🙌
Totally disagreed with Kayamkulam kochunni. Nivin Pauly is a good actor and he performed well in Moothon. But in kochunni he miserably Failed.mohanlal saved that movie. If mohanlal was not there it was a huge flop. In New generation Asif is most underrated actor. Absolutely he is a good actor than Dulquer,nivin and jayasurya. Jayasurya is a good actor.But Most Characters with the help of make up. (same what mamootty done in Mriguya, soorya manasa-Absolutely overrated)
Mrigaya, soorya manasa overrated , just because you are a fan boy of mohanlal dont speak rubbish
@@haffizazeez7688.. I am not a fan of Any actor.. Mamoottys best performance are,valsalyam, Papayude swantham Apoos, Vidheyan, Amaram, ponthenmada, pranchiyettan, Pathira kolapathakam etc..
Underrated performance are
Druvam, Rajamanikyam, Kadal
kaddanorru mathukutty, sagarm sakshy, puthan panam etc..
Overated performance are Mriguya, soorya manasa-, pathemari etc.. I am not telling it was a bad performance. But it's purely overated
These character he done through make ups. So normal people are thinking it a a great performance. If someone doesn't know acting also if they make up like putturumees we would feel he is abnormal.
joseph joseph completely agree!
@@josephjoseph7579 100% agree....How many of those hardcore fans of Mammotty has seen Ponthen Mada in their life to understand the brilliance of that performance? I honestly don't think Raajamanikyam is an underrated performance....It's way too celebrated IMO.
Kayamkulam kochunni became a hit only because of the presence of Mohanlal as cameo.Its a well known fact.Nivin was a disappointment as an actor in it.
Your movie solo has an all Indian appeal and do It in Hindi ..you will be successful ( economically )
Lucifer is not a mass masala movie guys for your kind information. Do watch explanation videos for more knowledge.
I am not sure whether Bejoy read this comment,he is from my native place and got my son named afrer watching one of his movie scene solo..
Solo one of my fav film
Sir please get FAHAD FAASIL.
Malayamam always had good movies ..
#Ask BR.. Y dont u ask favorite 5 film of manirathnam..? .
in early 20s malayan cinema was destroyed by dileep, once he was out of industry was back to its root
why everybody talking abt malayalam movies TODAY ->
Ans- thats bec majority indians have poor cinematic taste who watch bhojpuri , masala telugu and straight face actors like vijays , ajeeths tamil movies
Mal movies hav alws been ahead in great content and awards at national level since 40-50 yrs...the maximum movies that get remade or copied is from Malayalm but ppl of other states dont know bec they are totally unaware of other stuff like a frog in its well...
Mal movies dont put item songs in every film , one comedian+ hot aunty scenes + hero saving village in slow motion + one mass song with hundreds of junior artist within 30 mins of the film
Mowadays even some mal directors are taking the telugu route of larger than life heroism + item song + hot aunty behind hero
Very good example about prakasan movie..how malayalam 🌟 do simple role where other industry 🌟 need heroism to attract audience.I m from East but I m fan of malyalam movies and Tamil movie like asuran .. Content oriented movie...I have seen enough mass movie ..It need to stop.
ലാലേട്ടൻ ❤️❤️
Prithviraj in ravan world premiere...that's time indian films also again watch through malayalam films..2010 that's time the mamooty mohanlal time had ended..this time they are marketing business man as brand of malayalam...
Obsession Mani Ratnam OP, discussion on kaatru veliydai really guys.
Please invite director BALA sir.
Please put solo malayalam on Netflix yaar 🙄😅
I dont understand why malayalis themselves come in such interviews and talk down their own industries !!!
"there was a lull when even malayalis werenot talking about mal cinema" ----> in some ways , its true that comparing the standards of the 80s , content was too low in 90s but it was still better than tamil , telugu for sure...!!!!!!! i mean there are ppl who think Balayya , mahesh babu , allu arjun , chiranjeevi , Vijay and ajeeth are greatest actors on earth !!!! LOL....
Eavide poyalum malayalikal poliyanello 😂
When was the interview taken ?
New breed of actors - Parvathy.
Fahadh faasil the monstar
Absolutely no nonsense interview...👍 Didn't want the video to get over... didn't realise untill the usual stupid HYBRID (English ad kind of intensionally, desperately or forcefully injected with hindi words😂) which usually pops up these days before the ending...🙈
I love Malayalam movies. TBH some films are overrated and hyped. Kumbalangi nights is one. There was nothing striking in the story. Every language has such films.
Fahad’s character has been portrayed in many many films even better.
Please can you suggest such charecters asame as shammy in other movies
Fahad fasil doing,, and portraying 90s mohanlal natural charcterd, its not a new thing for malayalis,,mohanlal done all these things at its peak,, now all youth actors jst copy him only
No copy...
Each actor trying to do justice to their character..
Copy lol. Try better next time.
the anchors of this channel and the ppl they interview need to undertand ->
the way they question things abt Malayalam cinema , it sounds like Mal cinema never mattered earlier , and its only now that suddenly some turnaround has occured !!!!
thats not the right way -> Mal cinema was always with top content cinema in India -> its the idiotic cinema viewer of other states like you who were never aware
Not just Fahadh in maheshinde -> there have been such vulnerable characters done by mohanlal and mammooty some 30 yrs back too
its the tamil and telugu superstars who are superstitious and in heroism mode their whole career
We need Draupadi review
He looks like professor from money heist.

Solo 👎
I really dont know why some people don't like solo.

This idiot channel uses Lucifer and Mohanlal for click bait. Reviews all releasing south indian movies except for Lucifer. But reviews Rajni and other actors larger than life characters films. Also only talks about Mohanlal doing larger than life characters. Though he has done other movies. Never ever would subscribe to you guys. And the start of the video he is talking about Fahad doing njaan prakashan and analyzing it. I don't understand. There are better movies than that. Kayamkulam kochunni was nothing without Mohanlal cameo (even the film director said it). And he is interviewing Bejoy Nambiar who has done 1 Malayalam film which is totally unlike Malayalam movies and asking about Malayalam movies.
Another big reason for popularity of Malayalam cinema is also the absolute trash films Bollywood is making these days..audiences started searching for better content and they found it in south india
What is this nonsense Sir...
