Its safe to say that the Akhtar family is RIDICULOUSLY talented and genuinely intelligent.
True...
Did you know the brother of Javed Akhtar is a renowned psychiatrist in the US and has a fan following of mental health professionals? Salman Akhtar.
@@Nazyaali110 Wow...intelligent people! Thanks for the info!
Santosh Trasy I’m happy he’s able to make a living from his skills.
Ridiculously overrated
"If you see something as a challenge, you'll put obstacles in your head"-wow, that's philosophically very heavy.
@Pilot Baba she is also wannabe her films says
@Pilot Baba pitaji ka asar.
GULLYBOY SPOOF---- instagram.com/p/Btk9Fr3FRCQ/
@Pilot Baba Par 8 miles se kuch zyada hi inspiration li hai. Zaroorat se zyada.
@Pilot Baba Mene khaali mehnat se dhoondke Andhadhun, Stree aur Tumbaad dekhi. Mein jaha pe hoo waha RUclips bhi vpn pe chalana padta hai.
Zoya needs to make more films. Love her😃
GULLYBOY SPOOF---- instagram.com/p/Btk9Fr3FRCQ/
She needs to learn to be a good human first ,and have a heart .
Zoya is such an intelligent filmmaker. A real gem in commercial cinema today
GULLYBOY SPOOF---- instagram.com/p/Btk9Fr3FRCQ/
but it does not translate to her movies...like sorted pabulum
@@pradhan2008have u seen zindagi na milengi dobara
ZNMD is my favorite movie. I've watched so many times
Mukta Singh after watching Gully Boy last night I can 1000% agree! She’s just brilliant!
Zoya and Farhan , you can listen them all day.
They make lot of sense.
I can't listen to Farhan..His voice sucks..
@@sidharthanayak1064 didn't know a voice can suck till today
Zoya and farhan are both talented and superior, whilst sajid and farah khan😷
And Karan Johar
Farhan is like a saw on your ears... whatever philosophy he may espouse
Omgg.. जावेद Sir changing सबका time आएगा to अपना time आएगा is the most intelligent thing I have heard in 2019.. I mean you know the difference between an expert and a neophyte by these little things.
He also suggested Zoya to change Zindagi milegi na dobara to Zindagi Na milegi dobara.
ANKIT PANDEY do you mean that sarcastically or literally??
'neophyte' means person who is new to a subject/skill. Thank me later..
Can we all agree this was an absolutely beautiful interview in terms of the conversation
Yeah bro.. that's true
She is the Tiger Baby.
Zoya Akhtar is the only indian filmmaker who knows how to make 'world cinema-esque' movies with indian contexts.
@Aggie Kitchen it only feels that way since it has similar themes of a underdog rapper tale. By your logic all movies with the same theme are a copy of one another 🤦♂️
@Aggie Kitchen even with 100 crores at disposal you wouldn't be able to copy a single scene of 8 mile.
then u have no idea about indian and world film.
@Nakul Garg Where in Mumbai do we see spontaneous rap battles?
I prefer his brother a bit more.
Zoya the Gold standard for filmmaking in India currently.
Ranveer and Zoya collab is so underrated ❤️
Kabir Mehra In DDD and now Murad in Gully Boy 🔥👌🏽
Listening to Zoya Akhtar is like worth going to years in a film school.
Wow! What a great comment. Thanks Onkar! - AC
@@shrisub881 K.
100% true dude. She deliberately reduced open sky scenes to create the Gully feeling and all that. Just amazing
@Sarthak raghuvanshi Ya sure. And good for you for knowing all about exaggerated metaphors😊
Lol just lol....boddywood have no other good directore than this zoya?
That bit at 21:14 where Zoya asked some kids to write a love song and they refused to do it is really interesting. That is quite a show of character for those young artists.
ghanta .. copied from bodied and 8 Miles if you wanna get inspire better create something new ..
All films are inspired and copied from other films. There isn’t anything purely original.
oh you just live in 10 years bolly world @@dragoflamer786
can't get bored listening to her about gully boy and her films.. she definitely gave her heart to it.. which makes this movie a must watch..❤😍 this interview feels like it has ended in the middle.. we want more of it..!!
her point about men being fragile was on point ! I have always felt that way but never been able to express it as well as she did.
Dear Anupama please can you make these interviews a tad longer please like 50 mins... Such an interesting conversation and boom.. it got over in 20+ mins.. not fair at all
Absolutely!!! It should have been longer.
You are right Raj - we should have gone longer. Thanks for watching - AC
@@FilmCompanionStudios thanks a lot for replying back. You must do a conversation of sorts once the movie is out with the makers(Esp Zoya) actors and the musicians... This movie is a game changer...
Love your interviews...
Uncle jii , bss kr do , Is dunya mn kia aur kam nhi ha
She is not just a sharp, observant and very skilled storyteller, but she also chooses the most inspiring and interesting plots and overall probably has the best taste in the industry when it comes to asthetics, music and tact. I wish I could be there at the premiere in Berlin! Missing out on a once in a lifetime chance :-(
She failed all entrance exams
@@shrisub881 what the fuck dude???
john jobs so what? Her academics don’t translate to her sense of filmmaking, which is extremely unique and admired. Kuch bhi!
@@devshah65 I mean if not for the family she wouldn't have for access if you and I fail.we have no other option but to I'll oneself
john jobs dude I get ur point but like at the same time, even if she’s a product of nepotism and got her dues easier than anyone else (which is unfair to so many outsiders who struggle on a day to day basis), her entrance exam failure doesn’t mean anything after she’s developed her talent and made good films. You’re practically citing and irrelevant point
She's an incredibly talented director.. 🙌🏼
Yup. She has just not made a bad film.
Wow I love Zoya so much. Here's a director who loves her job and genuinely wants to make movies. Excited for gully boy and whatever she comes up with next
Zoya is amazing... She's one of the first interviewees I'm seeing who doesn't forget the question and ramble on for 5 hours off topic... And everything she says is so intelligent!!
I see Zoya Akhtar, I click♥
Same here di !! 🙋
Same here
deeksha dhabai ditto! I am such a fan not just of her but how she thinks and convinces us to look at things the way she sees.. love love love her!!
Zoya akhtar makes me wanna make a film.
Ranveer and Zoya combo is highly underrated 💔
She brings the best in him
better than Rs-Slb combo
_na98xx hope this combo also gets box office love now like SLB and RS combo
Kani Kelly hi who’s this
Kani Kelly I gotcha, yay Ranveerian 🙌🏽 and won’t be coming back to Twitter, you can follow my comments on RUclips on random videos ;)
Both have different genera and it is unfair to compare them.. Btw I may think twice when going to movie of Ranveer and zoya.. But I will not doubt Ranveer and Sanjay leela bhansali
Luck By Chance
ZNMD
Dil Dhadakne Do
Now Gully Boy
One Of My Fav. director , Loved all her Movies.Beautifully Shot and emotionally Strained.
I need a separate interview of Zoya & Anupama for each episode that Zoya has directed in Made In Heaven. Her analysis is as brilliant as her direction!!!!!
That scratchy voice. Love it
😬
runs in the family.. even farhan has that husky voice
this women zoya is just wonderful...what a talker
Proud moment for Indian cinema -> Gully Boy in Berlin Film Festival -> hope audience shows love and accepts the film too, FDFS anyone??
Glad Ranveer did that Jack and Jones challenge because otherwise no spitfire who is the rapper that wrote Asli Hip Hop for the teaser
zoya is such a strong and confident lady
Thank you for this gold standard interview, wow i got goosebumps, tears, lump in throat all together. This world is belongs to write poet artist. Apna time aayega
So looking forward to this movie. I loved her previous movies and I‘m sure Gully Boy will be at least as good as the others.
Wow!! All these kids are amazing
she will be most fascinating filmmaker in the coming years!
Himansh Yadav ... she already is 🙌🏽
@@Brianlaudrup12 but cheap software coders at TCS and Infosys only understand dilwale of Rohit shitty
Zoya Akhtar directs film which is closer to life and the poetry in the film by Javed Akhtar , divine and others will be adorable in the film
Zoya is simply amazing.. especially the last thing she said about writing a love song..that's what called attitude..
The future of the Hindi Film Industry is in good safe hands. Here's to the mavericks! 🍻
Zoya is the best we have. What a fab and fantabulous director
Amazing interview... Loved it so much
Have watched all of Zoya's films, and I'm really glad that her true inherent spirit is very much a part of all her movies. A true artist's personality is a part of their work, be it a film, a book, or a painting, not to mention music. Can't wait to watch this film, it's going to be a Valentine day treat for all artistes
OMG I CAN HEAR HER TALK FOR HOURS!!!
Very intelligent conversation here, I must say. Thank you Anupama Mam for this insightful and enlightening chat you had with Zoya Akhtar. Looking forward for this quality content.
Thanks so much for watching Siddhant!
I don't why but this talk was inspiring!
She is quite something.
Who came here after watching Gully Boy
This is what i had been waiting for..zoya on FC again
Watching and listening to Zoya talk .. understanding her perspective on various things, life and the world- that itself is such an enriching experience ! Wish the interview was longer
Another brilliant interview. I love the way you conduct interviews & Zoya is just fantastic
Brilliant interview. Loved the part when she says young people changed the whole perspective. She is such a passionate and real film-maker. Can't wait to see the film.
Thankkk you dear bhagwaaaan for giving us zoya and Reema !! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🏅🏅🏅
She is exactly like her father always outspoken & honest
she is fantastic director
the last 2-3 minutes are pure gold. hats off to those kids, and may we all have the grit to stay true to our art.
Looking great and best of luck on gully boy
Only 22 minutes .. This is not fair .. There are many questions were not raised We would like Zoya to answer .. I wish there was an exception and extended the interview for a longer time .. Not every day Zoya makes a film such as gully boy 😒
The interview makes me watch the movie. Hope it translates well on screen too
I love her movie making style, respect from Canada🇨🇦🖒❤
Such an honest interview- both questions and answers!:)
what an interview! Zoya Akhtar is possibly the most intelligent filmmaker in Hindi cinema. Although, I must add, Anupama Chopra needs to stop asking every single person "when are you going to make/act in women-centric movies" ...it's monotonous and losing its value because of her repeating the Q like some champion of women. Please, stop, yaar. Loved Zoya's response to that!
I was so wanting to type this. Anupama sounds like a blabbering idiot-box constantly begging everybody to make women centric films or trying to direct them twards the idea. Like shut up now, will you? They are films god damn it. Why the hell does she want gender quota even in that? It's irritating to say the least.
This question is important.
Vaibhav Mehta She is an immature. She doesn’t get even when it’s explained, she still digs for the same reply, replied by the actor.
But the question needs to be asked. :)
sana a a moron has to comment
When you look at something as a challenge, you create obstacles in your own head. Wow!! Sums up life.
Nice interview ! Great questions - exactly what viewers want to hear.
A conversation between Rhea Kapoor and Zoya Akhtar -
You get what I'm saying?
You understand what I'm saying?
Ad infinitum.
Well Reha is a producer..Zoya is a director..Rhea doesn't even claim to be an actor... Understand what I am saying!!
A conversation between the guru Meera Nayar and the disciple Zoya akhtar wd suffice better
Zoya wouldn't even talk to Rhea! Rhea talks nonsense...her idea of movies is selling feminism... And that too wrong feminism! 🙄 Priyanka in Dil Dhadakne do was a better example of strength of women than Swara bhaskar in Veeren! 🤷
@@princesskunji Rhea is a producer..not a writer.. She is not controversial like her sister..Leave her..She won my heart when said no actress but content is bankable
in KFK.. KJo became sad coz he wanted to hear Alia😁😁..
#koayfam
Read almost all the comments.. Not a single negative one.. Do I need to say more?? Love u Zoya.. Thanks Anu Mam for this interview..
I know. It's the most positive comment section I have ever seen.
Ranveer + zoya = magic ..love you both 💗💗💗
Dil dharakne do dekha, haha ghant magic
Why did the interview get over so fast ? Love her soo much and god her clarity in everything is so damn inspiring
Great work guys!!!!
Going to watch world premier this Saturday at Berlinale. 😀
I’m just in love with this woman!!!! She is just amazing... what an amazing movie... no scene is incomplete, no character is left out... everything is just complete... i just love the scene whr ranveer is feeding those kids... loved it when they took the close up of that wheatish girl.. love the world she creats... watching her films is so satisfying!!! More power to you girl😍
Zoya is one of the best female Directors in India
I don't know whether anyone in India made a movie on such a topic. zoya took a brave attempt. bravo!
Thank you Anupama. I was really looking forward to this interview. And I knew it, you will interview Zoya. I love her.
I could see tears in Zoyas eyes while talking about the change she experienced while making this movie....She became bit emotional
I wish the conversation was longer......its always like this with zoya....i just love this woman
This interview made my day..very inspiring :) Thank you anupama chopra :)
Zoya gonna be remembered in the history of Indian cinema, gully boy Will change the Hip Hop scene for underground rappers like us..

Her films have great Cinematographers and visuals. Even gully boy looks very international.
Impeccable expression of clarity in thinking! Loved it!
Currently on a zoya akhtar on film companion binge watch. It is so refreshing!!
This is what you call a interview. Just wow!
Just saw the movie yesterday. Loved it. Suddenly I felt so proud of myself on seeing Safina. Lovely character.
I have been waiting for this interview for a long time.And finally, thank you 💗
Can’t get enough of this beautiful and talented woman!! 😍😍
Correction:
Can’t get enough of these beautiful and talented women!! 😍😍
Bohot Hard Bohot Hard!
Naezy 💜💜💜
Zoya is definitely one of the finest directors! Bollywood definitely needs such intelligent and well-spoken directors! Waiting for Gully-Boy! Sour gums for the people who called this ambitious effort a remake of 8-miles!
First time watching this show. Very impressed with the interviewer. She asked very thoughtful and intellectual questions. Not the superficial type of interviews I usually see. Great content.
She is one of those few filmmakers who makes what she really feels.
I can quote her start to end !!! Refreshing to see n hear someone like her n things like she spoke about 🙏🙏
Dear Anupama Chopra and the team of film companion, I love how you represent strong women figures through your channel . Thank you. I wish media portrayed women this way while we were growing up.
Zoya mam...love ur movies!. Just saw Gully boy...awesome movie. Love from Bangladesh.
Blessed to have zoya in our film industry
Joya , you are a rockstar...what a movie you have made this time ( gally boy) specially in songs your talent shows the way ...hats off
PURITY.. such a rare quality to come across in today's world. I really appreciate that Zoya has valued this purity and Gully boy is showcasing that Purity. May this Purity spread in this whole wide hypocritic world. May Shri Ganesha bless us with more and more purity around.
Love her voice ...she seems very intelligent and a good film maker..can listen to her forever
Love u Zoya ❤❤
Zoya you are amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️gully boy is clean yet hard hitting...without going vulgar ..you have given message
The poem Doori is so dam beautiful. And few things which zoya mam said here makes so much sense.
The fact her interview has aired before the movie release says everything
