Meiyazhagan was such a wholesome movie. 96 is my favorite movie of all time and his new movie carries same magic, brings smily face all the time. Hope Prem Kumar keeps making more and more movies.
No one does a round table like Anupama. Love the way she segues into the next part of the discussion - it’s so organic. And it was a great set of directors - all so very well spoken. Thoroughly engrossing watch.
It's only BW and South. I don't see other film industries like Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Assamese, Punjabi, etc. Besides, Marathi film industry had a good year.
@@Ashwini-u2p I am from south, i and no one heard about Marathi industry. Hindi has just killed these langauges man. One day you will be out from this dangerous Hindi shadow. movies are direct representative of your languages and culture.
So glad to see Christo here!! Ullozhukku was the best movie of the year! It haunted me so much! This man really understands women. Kudos to him and wishing him the best for future!
Was so happy to hear/see this particularly C. Prem Kumar’s explanation of the 18 minute deletion. I am in the US and somehow was so lucky to see an unedited version. I love this film and hope that eventually the uncut can be eventually released. A between gem of a film…a film I didn’t realize I needed to see.
The beauty of 96 was the unfinished and unattainable love. If they had ended up together,the movie would have been a cliche. I hope he isn't writing it to just give them a cliche happy ending.
Great to see the directors of tamil films Amaran and Meiyazhagan in this roundtable. Amaran is one of the rare blockbusters where the heroine Sai Pallavi has as much screen time and is just as memorable as the male lead. Likewise, in Meiyazhagan, the female characters were memorable, despite their brief screen time.
@tweetsoftheweek i guess it was maybe becaue she wanted to mix tamil and malayalam while talking with Mukund....it not completly malayalam but the same in tamilish way
Honestly amaran within the commercial success film format like soldiers sacrifice for land and loving wife kind of sentiment we saw in many film even shersha . But meiazhagan is not within so called success formula its a daring attempt conversional film without even action sequence
@@aryaramachandhran7965 The last Tamil film with a sad ending that became one of the top 3 grossers of the year was Karthi's debut film Paruthiveeran, which was released in 2007. The action scenes themselves are very realistic. Army genre is not at all famous in tamil cinema .So, Amaran doesn't fit into the typical commercial format like you said.
I watched those 18 minutes in theater and on Netflix as well... Prem the man who just proved that human emotions are enough to capture the audience rather than the gigantic larger than life scenes..... No villains no negativity.... Pure class in his both films.... And a proud Periyarist...
Lol periyar resented tamil kings and called them paarpana adimais. And his followers call jallikattu barbaric and regressive and there is no way periyar would have accepted jallikattu either, he termed every tamil culture as kaatumirandithanam
Lots of love and huge respect to Prem sir for bringing us meiyazhagan. The soft life that you show in the screenplay of your films is so so pleasing to watch Prem sir. And watched it the first day of theatrical release in Hyderabad.
1. Though I found Laapataa Ladies surprisingly good (antithetical to its director and producers' history), I loved Meiyazhagan despite watching it with subtitles. It was just such a good slice of life film without any manipulation of the audience emotion. 2. There's something far real, genuine and spiritual about the way the makers from the non-Bollywood background on this table. 3. Given Anupama's fondness for dark sets ever since moving to THR India, surprised she didn't get a black table 😂.
What do you mean by LL being surprisingly good and antithetical to producer and director's history. Kiran Rao has made one arty Dhobi Ghat before and has also collaborated with Aamir in many successful productions. She was a lowly AD during his first production Lagaan( which actually won an Oscar nom).And she was closely involved in his other prodns like TZP, Dangal, Secret Superstar -- all films that were a perfect mix of art and commerce. Not films to be sniffed at. Aamir and Kiran have in fact a history of producing good sensible commercially viable films.
agreed.. i felt the non bollywood directors were very honest to their craft & process..i used to like Kiran but somehow disappointed here in this interview where i found her process more corrupt along with imtiaz to be honest
Prem kumar is so insightful.. Especially the thing he said about using real set pieces , so that the actors can have that added input of touch. Even christo tony is such soft spoken and insightful. Imtiaz felt like a typical bollywood director , little bit of arrogance seeping out, and also feel he is overrated AF.
C Premkumar and Rajkumar periasamy - loads of respect ❤❤ please do not get corrupted with Bollywood style of working..they need to learn a ton from u guys and not the other way round!!
The "cheese" in Meiyazhagan was the scenes with the bull. It was portrayed a typical hero in mass movies, and swayed away from the peaceful light drama feel of the movie. They could have been avoided, but I guess the director wanted to share his opinion with viewers about Jallikattu through the bull.
Contrary to popular opinion I don't want Ram and Janu to be together...The story was beautiful in its incompleteness and in reiterating the fact that somethings in life doesn't fall into place the way you want it to be....maybe Ram can find a new love #second love🤷🏾♀️✌🏾
Best industry 2024 - Kollywood They have the highest number of movies with scoring IMDb 8 Rating Maharaja, Meiyazhagan, Viduthalai 2 , Amaran , Lubber pandhu,Jama ,Sir, Sattam en kayil
Have you seen SK all movies, except Amaran all are masala movies, no acting skills just copieng Rajini sir acting, I think many people influencing by his IT wing. AMARAN run because of saipallavi acting
One more thing for madams like Kiran Ji, there’s absolutely no shortage of screen space AT ALL. The existing cinemas are running completely empty, unless there’s a spectacle that comes up. So pls smell the coffee and “ create content that’s atleast 2 weeks cinema screen worthy”.
Telugu directors and their audonce are known to make illogical mass movies entertainers for the mass audience who lives on 1Rs a day. Theybdokt care for plot and logic not everyones cup of tea..Mostly know for.making chapri movies like Pushpa
In this era of 30 sec reels, it's truly commendable that Anupama ji makes 82 minute interviews watchable. But ofcourse, the credit also goes to all of these directors who spoke truly well.
You should have a very special table for just the directors from the Malayalam cinema industry cause what they have done this year has been nothing short extraordinary so i can safely say that this year belongs to Malayalam cinema.
Hi Anupama , can you add one more question in your next round table!! All directors saying, audiences are going on box office collection, it is true . Where should go audience, what audience should focus on?? . What is cinema , what are for cinema Now again, what should follow audience
18mnts is the soul of Meyizhagan . Im blessed to witness the 18 mnts about tamil history and recent thuthukudi sterilite killings. Whatta movie it is.. 2 times i watched in auditorium AND LAPTHA LADIES AND CHAMKEELA ARE SOULFUL entertainers
so much admiration & respect for director Prem specially , also for rajkumar who were the only 2 directors i felt were all about art ❤❤ rest were all superficial talk about making money and box office..Please do NOT change or get unecessarily influenced by Bollywood
Good to see a Table with majority directors from the Southern Film Industry...coming of age? or is it post 2020 realisation that Indian cinema goes beyond Mumbai
Finally I saw a table.
😂
but not round
Yep, there were many, but nothing was exciting except indie and vetris of thri
@@BernardShaw-g5balmost 😂
@@nightwing6610 he meant the table 😅😂
Happy to see prem kumar and rajkummar periya swamy from tamil industry 😊

Happy for what, giving interview to a snob?
C. Prem kumar Sir, thank you very much for revealing that you are making a 96 sequel, I am very happy to hear this...
Meiyazhagan was such a wholesome movie. 96 is my favorite movie of all time and his new movie carries same magic, brings smily face all the time. Hope Prem Kumar keeps making more and more movies.
Mujhe 96 bahut melodramatic lagi
@@raja-jl9oswatch in tamil with english subs,might change ur pov
Meiyazhagn is my fav movie of the year... I was weeping the whole time 💙
Meiyazhagan was my favourite movie of the year too!
C. Prem Kumar and Imtiaz Ali❤️❤️❤️❤️ what a combo wow ....best round table
This is one of the best team of directors brought to a roundtable compared to all other roundtables!
true
One is missing blessy
yes but wanted to add that it would be icing on the cake when Mr Mani Ratnam was there
But he didn't make a movie this year
No one does a round table like Anupama. Love the way she segues into the next part of the discussion - it’s so organic. And it was a great set of directors - all so very well spoken. Thoroughly engrossing watch.

100 percent....urvashi mam was superb,what an amazing actor.
I somehow hate that film ... Worst experience .. it haunted me in the worst way possible ...
@@MutthuluruSiddartha that is what made it good no. It haunts you.
This is genuinely some of the best director's of 2024 roundtable unlike other roundtables.
Sooo glad to see Mr. Premkumar here... he is an extraordinary person and director!
Was so happy to hear/see this particularly C. Prem Kumar’s explanation of the 18 minute deletion. I am in the US and somehow was so lucky to see an unedited version.

I took loved the unedited version.
Lucky bhaskar Amaran Meiyazhagan is an gem of the film❤🔥👍
Most of the audiance did not leave their seats till the movie amaran was over. I think this was a great achievement for the director.
Meiyazhagan, what a beauty of film it was! So glad to have watched it.
The beauty of 96 was the unfinished and unattainable love. If they had ended up together,the movie would have been a cliche.
I hope he isn't writing it to just give them a cliche happy ending.
Absolutely awesome lineup..THR roundtables are the only ones I'm able to watch in the barrage of yearend roundtables!

BS film - mocked malayalam
@@Tweetsoftheweek not intentionally. they could have hired someone who is well versed in Malayalam to train the accent of Sai Pallavi's character.

Is the deleted 18 mins part of the version shown in Netflix!?or was it shown separately in Netflix. I hope u will reply.
Lots of love and huge respect to Prem sir for bringing us meiyazhagan. The soft life that you show in the screenplay of your films is so so pleasing to watch Prem sir. And watched it the first day of theatrical release in Hyderabad.
Here only for C. Prem Kumar an absolute favourite director of mine.
Here for Prem Kumar ✌️ bringing basic human emotions and to have some hope that there are good people out there and be one ❤
Look at Imtiaz, everything he speaks is just like a magic. Loved Raj and Premkumar statements too. 💕
DQ - The insult scene🥺❤ in Lucky Baskhar
People who watched meiyazhagan first day are so lucky
Finally you got the right persons this year 👏 flavorful table ❤ Prem 🙏
Anupama is smart in asking about their next projects. She got all the spice in last 5 mins of the interview.
Finally something without Karan Johar. Thank the lords.
1:17:14 the announcement..🙌🤞🤞❤️
But. 96 is enough. So much pain 😕😔
I was lucky to see those scenes from Sri Lanka.
Prem is such a gem of a filmmaker. Why are we missing out on these incredible scenes.
One of best roundtable. The variety is very much appreciated.
Ullozhukku......a must watch piece of art.... Hatss off christo❤❤
It's nice to see a diverse set of filmmakers! Thank you!

All directors saying, audiences are going on box office collection, it is true .
Where should go audience, what audience should focus on?? . What is cinema , what are for cinema
Now again, what should follow audience
