Whenever I see the Director's/Actor's interview's there usually be a few points which seems very new or smart but this time the entire interview, every statement actually made sense and it's actually smart, very realistic. This actually reminded me how smart and technical RGV is I have forgotten this fact due to the recent events, oh god what a man the cinema industry has lost
While the comment on Malayalam cinema might offend some, what he said is actually true. Malayalam cinema was creating great films with actors like Mammootty, Mohanlal, Bharath Gopi, etc, legendary directors like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, KG George, Bharathan, Padmarajan, IV Sasi, Joshi, Priyadarshan, Sathyan Anthikkad, etc, best writers like MT Vasudevan Nair, Sreenivasan, T Damodaran, John Paul, SN Swamy, etc. Malayalam cinema excelled in all genres of movies like comedy, romance, action, mystery, political thrillers, tragedy, musicals, drama, art cinema, etc. Despite all of this, the whole country never ever knew any of this. They only knew about some obscure films that were made in underground mode and dubbed in all South Indian and Hindi languages, and somehow got the name Mallu films, Mallu aunty, etc tagged. RGV is right when he says that the entire country never knew the greatness of Malayalam cinema and only knew the obscure "Mallu Midnight Masala" films. He himself had mentioned nearly 20 years ago that he had cast Mohanlal in Company after seeing just one film of his, the 1989 Mohanlal cop comedy film Vandanam.
Its true only, nobody is offended. There were good films being made that time too but only adult movies were being distributed to other states more than good films.
Actually in Indian cinema, only Malayalam mainstream cinema was decent to watch with families, without any skin show, vulgur item dance and sexual content. But unfortunately, the so called underground made b-grade movies were marketed outside in the name of Malayalam cinema. That was an oxymoron.
18:20 he he talking about Malayalam Cinema. Actually there is a misconception about Malayalam cinema in that aspect. Not all Malayalam films were sex films in those era. It was only a small section/part of the industry producing such films. Unfortunately only sex films had a run outside Kerala as a representation of Malayalam cinema.
RGV is usually on point. But I respectfully disagree to his Oppenheimer theory. Movie is good. But it wouldn't have done as much numbers had it not been made by Nolan. Across the world & even in India its the Nolan brand that granted it such huge opening & long run. If any other filmmaker made the exact movie, it might have worked but not this huge.
Many people in India watch films like "Oppenheimer" primarily due to a fear of missing out (FOMO). When they go to work in their fancy high-rise offices, they feel compelled to mention it in discussions with their colleagues 🤪
Oppenheimer did well because of two reasons.. 1. It is Nolan Movie (He is a brand) 2. It is English movie (connect across the states unlike Hindi or other Regional languages)
Regarding Mythological stories: The secret of great stories is that they have no secrets. Great stories are the ones that you have already heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don;t deceive you with thrills and trick endings. The God of small things (Arundathi Roy) So no matter how many times they (Epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana) are retold, people always listen. Also telling story from different characters POV gives the audience the feeling of an entirely new story. If there is a twist or a thrill, it will be a cherry on top. And regarding good directors Of course, there are directors like Francis Ford Capola with few epic films and a dozen unknown films But there are also directors like Padmarajan, Bong Joo Ho, KG George, Kurosawa, Dennis Villeneuve, Taantino, Nolan, Scorses etc, whose majority films are world class and fan favourite. So there is a thing called a good director. They are a brand of their own. Even LJP can be put into that category.
Even though Malayalam films had a rough phase between 2000- 2010, the Malayalam industry has always been known for making world-class stuff right from the 80s to the late 90s. Don't think that Malayalam started making quality films recently.

Oppenheimer had Robert Downey Jnr. He's the biggest star in Hollywood today and the most expensive one, too. What they kept beating around the bush was that the script is the king. Look at Lapataa Ladies, and you'll get the point of how a good movie with a solid story works without big stars and influencers or corporate bookings. The audience is spoilt for choice today, which is a good place to be compared to how we got taken for a ride for the last 30 years with mediocre content sprinkled with some brilliance.
RGV is so sorted knowledgable wish he makes the films he used to make earlier.. Btw he seems to be fascinated by Aamir Khan why not collaborate again? Baradwaj sir please seed the thought to both of their minds
Malayalam has always made good films .... But only b grade malayalam films may have been dubbed to those states mostly.... And B grade films had great market in Andhra especially....and those people who were keen of watching such films would call Malayalam films under those term ..... And that's why we may find many pointless vulgar scenes in those people's real life and the kind of film they make!
don't get offended... people of all India felt that.. it's just a phase of your industry and accept it. You know nothing about Telugu industry and audience
3:38 😂 it is true i remember watching with a bunch of kids who was only there to watch the explosion scene. They didn't even understand anything even who the characters are or even what they are saying i am also one of them at least i have some idea who the characters are.
That moment when RGV said directors do not make an impact, and when Baradwaj tried to oppose it by citing Sagara Sangamam and Sankarabaranam . Both had opposite Point of views, and Baradwaj, it looked like, was forcing himself strangely to accept RGV's point. Baradwaj at his masochistic best.
One of the biggest filmmaker ever is Christopher Nolan...And he is the biggest selling point of any movie he makes irrespective of the subject or the actors of that movie.. there's no denying that
Comparing Lal Signh Chadda to a Ramayana is a ridiculous pivot. Let me explain, the former was a remake and the latter have never been seen on the silver screen on the level that could be achieved. All the concerns are valid but the way the question was projected is funny by mr Baradhwaj

8:02 BR is just saying “right right” for everything but he should know that RGV has mastered the “art of arguing and making his point however contradictory or illogical it is”. He says that he did not recognise any actor in Oppenheimer and it still worked because of the content and he doesn’t even give the superstar director Nolan any credit for making the movie work. First of all the movie Oppenheimer went to sets because “Nolan was directing it”. If any lesser director from the franchise of Fast and Furious wanted to start that film he wouldn’t have got any funding in the first place. Next there are plethora of popular actors in that movie. Including the leading three - RDJ who has a massive fan following right now thanks to Iron man and his charisma off screen. Emily Blunt has carefully chosen roles which have pushed her into the prime mainstream zone once occupied by Hathaway. Whereas Cillian has cult fan following from his series Peaky Blinders. Just because RGV has no clue who they were doesn’t mean they were nobodies for the majority of the movie watching public, he cannot base his entire premise of the story of Oppenheimer being so content rich that it would have made money irrespective of the people involved in its making. The entire interview is peppered with such logical fallacies and other such nonsense. Had Oppenheimer been made by a bunch of nobodies with the same budget, the movie would have nuked itself and the producer’s bank balance. 😂😂😂 Edit : also his entire theory about liking a movie irrespective of the director's name is such nonsense! I mean how the hell would Oppenheimer be so interesting if Nolan had not directed it? Many directors would probably make a documentary type movie on OP. It was Nolan who had the Spielberg type sensibilities to make it a thriller type movie but at the same time paying a homage to the great man like John ford and yet having the Kubrick's vision to make a high concept movie reachable to the masses. It is complete BS to say that he would have liked OP even if Nolan's brand wasn't there. I mean OP would have been some documentary if not for the great director Nolan. Such a nonsensical interview. 😅🤣🤣
Nonsense and you went through like an essay making no sense at all . 😂 Simple question : Would you watch a rom com with Nolan at its head or would it make the same amount of money comparing with Oppenheimer ? Anyone who went in to watch Oppenheimer were going for the bomb or atleast knew about the subject matter . Nolan is an extra sell and that’s it . Try to listen to people and not judge like an absolute moron .
When they were discussing on the Ramayana/Mahabharat topic, I was hoping they had touched upon Kalki movie and how the mythological story was beautifully woven into a futuristic/fictional movie.
kerala story and bastar movies are made by same director with same cast and producer but one film worked and other film bombed at boxoffice so he saying that we dont know when a film work and when a film doesnt work.
Intellectuality of directors (that does not mean people who are highly educated) is the key for good movies to be made. Ray, Mehboob, Guru Dutt, Benegal, Balachander, Adoor, Nihalani, Bimal, Chetan and more are people who made great movies.
I do not mean to disrespect Ram Gopal Verma garu, but having made movies like Rangeela where all we saw was Urmila shakes and moves or having Isha Kopikkar dance to Khalas or other heroines or taking full advantage of Amitabhji's superstardom Sarkar, Sarkar2 etc., it is hypothetical for him to say Indian movie makers think about themselves and not about the movie industry.
I saw Oppenheimer only because it was directed by Nolan , If it was directed by any other director i would have not seen it. Along with quality film , the film makers previous films also impacts . If a new director directed we would have listened about it in some RUclips channel and try to watch it in OTT not in theatre
I totally agree with Tenet I watched in cinema Hall by seeing the poster of the movie and that name Christopher Nolan . Although it did not done that big in box office collections but the people watched it only cause they know it's coming from Nolan because of his previous works . People still don't know that the ghajini movie is a remake of Memento directed by Nolan . So that's the impact of a story how he executed it on the screen .
@@pitambarjena7511 Yes me too I also watched tenet only because of the Name Nolan. There's nothing to do with movie talk good or bad talk I'm gonna go only because of the name Nolan.
The problem with making a known story is that the ending is already known to the masses,so the challenge really is how well you can visually tell known story without adding your version to it. This is the reason Bahubali -1and 2(2015 & 2017) did really well , because noone knew the ending thereby giving Rajamouli liberty of adding his creativity ,where as when Mani ratnam attempted PS-1&2( 2022 &2023) ,his creative liberties were super thin putting him in a quandry of going through the motions and not able to do visually justice to a known story .in contrast manu ratnam naygan did well becauee it was his version of godfather so he could creative liberties as he wished .
Oppenheimer's success is only due to Nolan's "star" value. Maybe RDJ's inclusion in the film might also give it a little boost, but mostly its on Nolan.
@Vihari9 okay, they may be utter flops, but I can confidently say if it's not for Nolan, no general audience would've given a crap about Oppenheimer, like how not enough people gave a crap about Rocketry for it to be a ravishing success despite having an actor known all over India in the lead role
there's nothing related to audience intelligence for Oppenheimer's success in India. If anyone else takes that movie, no one would even know that. As BR said, the movie is a hit because of Christopher Nolan alone.
Very few people mostly movie lovers watch movies based on directors, 90% films which got success introduces director. Who called Oppenheimer a success film, is it oscar making them to call it success, I don't think so.... Because most oscar films got difference in opinion among general audience. Oppenheimer is a success for the audience who are waiting for it.
@@cineholicedits4066 it got 1Billion worldwide. The highest for Chritopher Nolan. That too for his not so great work compared to his previous movies. It got so any Oscars and you don't call it a success? and the topic I was countering is only about Oppenheimer doing 100Cr in India and am taking about Indian audience.
@@randombytes23 Yeah. His point would be valid for almost any other blockbuster, but saying a Nolan film would be as popular if someone else made it is a bit of a stretch. He is probably the only director who could have made as much he did in Dunkirk and Tenet. But I agree with RGV for pretty much any other big success - it's what the film is saying that is resonating with people and everything else is subservient to it.
RGV's point is even if someone else had directed Oppenheimer with the same intensity, it would have had a good run and I second that.... Nolan may have given a good opening buyt movie went on to make 100 crore only because it was good....
The interviewer did not push RGV enough on Oppenheimer becoming a hit half due to its star director .. i disagree with RGV here because once a director becomes well known, the initial pull is from a director's star value,be it Maniratnam or Spielberg or Nolan
don't agree with the RGV point , without Christopher Nolan's name on the Oppenheimer film , 95% of audience would have slept in theatres. Now that percentage of the sleeping audience is just less.
rurally malayalam cinema is still know for bgrade porn only. The recognition of Malayalam actors is still through the characters done in Major industries like Hindi, Telugu and Tamil alone. Come out of internet, you will see Mollywood is a pop culture reference to Indian Porn.
Directors don't make difference to audience? Maybe you mean the box-office ($$$) Sir? Oppenheimer's effect is due to the non-linear timelines which is typical of Nolan directed movies. Indian directors do not dare to dream to become Auteur's in their own right, that's the problem... And even if they do, Anurag Kashyap for example; there has been a deterioration in quality of his films as financial incentives became the pursuit... Can we or do we technically have the capacity to produce a Satyajit Ray in this day and age? I believe with direct OTT options, the bet should be much higher. Sure we need a big star to carry the film or show, but with a few exceptions; most directors did.
Whenever I see the Director's/Actor's interview's there usually be a few points which seems very new or smart but this time the entire interview, every statement actually made sense and it's actually smart, very realistic.

While the comment on Malayalam cinema might offend some, what he said is actually true. Malayalam cinema was creating great films with actors like Mammootty, Mohanlal, Bharath Gopi, etc, legendary directors like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, KG George, Bharathan, Padmarajan, IV Sasi, Joshi, Priyadarshan, Sathyan Anthikkad, etc, best writers like MT Vasudevan Nair, Sreenivasan, T Damodaran, John Paul, SN Swamy, etc. Malayalam cinema excelled in all genres of movies like comedy, romance, action, mystery, political thrillers, tragedy, musicals, drama, art cinema, etc.
Despite all of this, the whole country never ever knew any of this. They only knew about some obscure films that were made in underground mode and dubbed in all South Indian and Hindi languages, and somehow got the name Mallu films, Mallu aunty, etc tagged.

The audience is spoilt for choice today, which is a good place to be compared to how we got taken for a ride for the last 30 years with mediocre content sprinkled with some brilliance.
Titanic and lord of rings both make billon without superstars and malayalam movies are far better than laapata ladies
Korean cinema make fantasy,action,scfi,zombie,horror 😂 Indian cinema only make cringe slice of life and cringe commercial
RGV Interview❤
Awesome conversation ....
RGV is so sorted knowledgable wish he makes the films he used to make earlier.. Btw he seems to be fascinated by Aamir Khan why not collaborate again? Baradwaj sir please seed the thought to both of their minds
Malayalam has always made good films .... But only b grade malayalam films may have been dubbed to those states mostly.... And B grade films had great market in Andhra especially....and those people who were keen of watching such films would call Malayalam films under those term ..... And that's why we may find many pointless vulgar scenes in those people's real life and the kind of film they make!
That's what he said, he knows Malayalam films then like that way, he didn't said they made only those type of films.
don't get offended... people of all India felt that.. it's just a phase of your industry and accept it. You know nothing about Telugu industry and audience
@@saidineshkodavanti2482 🤣🤣🤣...offended for what..?... I just spoke the fact...oh I think someone else got offended😁.
3:38 😂 it is true i remember watching with a bunch of kids who was only there to watch the explosion scene. They didn't even understand anything even who the characters are or even what they are saying i am also one of them at least i have some idea who the characters are.
Many may disagree at some points, but a filmmaker deep down knows these all points true..
That moment when RGV said directors do not make an impact, and when Baradwaj tried to oppose it by citing Sagara Sangamam and Sankarabaranam . Both had opposite Point of views, and Baradwaj, it looked like, was forcing himself strangely to accept RGV's point. Baradwaj at his masochistic best.
Only one man talks facts and logics behind logicality that is RAM GOPAL VARMA.
RGV in Telugu interview 🤡🤡
RGV in English interviews 🔥🔥🔥
Depends on questions
Rgv is intelligent, knowledgeable, philosopher etc, the way he explains no one does it in film world.
Why did it end with just 2 parts … can listen to the conversation for many more .
I wish I had the patience level of BR!
With what conviction RGV talks ...he made sense
Understand why he likes Bollywood, Audience won't accept if we show Ram in negative shade😶🌫️
Can someone tell me which telugu movie and hero he is referring?? 25:00
Liger
Athidhi movie, UTV producers
@11:15 editor vibing!!
Nowadays his interviews are as entertaining as his films. So, One interview is equal to one film.
One of the biggest filmmaker ever is Christopher Nolan...And he is the biggest selling point of any movie he makes irrespective of the subject or the actors of that movie.. there's no denying that
Indian filmmakers only make gangster and slice of life movies
What about hollywood movies like Godfather and the Goodfellas?
Comparing Lal Signh Chadda to a Ramayana is a ridiculous pivot. Let me explain, the former was a remake and the latter have never been seen on the silver screen on the level that could be achieved. All the concerns are valid but the way the question was projected is funny by mr Baradhwaj
Thanks

Missing that documentary view already!

I have not understood a single point in this interview but watched two parts full. 😂😂😂😂 anyone same?
Same with me
@@PrakashKumar-dm2hu thanks brother. At least one person same as me
Still can't make out why Oppnheimer was such a big hit! I wouldn't watch a second time and watched it only for Nolan and paid a price!
talented south indian telugu director
That's right. Once malayalam films are called as sex films
When? I wonder.
@@B1it3kriegDuring my childhood (2000 to 2006) period the only Malayalam film posters I remember seeing in Chennai were "Shakeela films" . They were massively popular back then. Malayalam film industry in general was only known for such films until Premam happened
@@B1it3krieg In Andhra there were posters of Malayalam dubbed films with Shakeela and some others showing cleavage and all.. I didn't get to know them until I had watched one. They marketed as such that any dubbing film from Malayalam would be a B-grade porn film. The period is from the late 90s to the early 20s... That is why audiences across India have got that perception
@@saidineshkodavanti2482 always Malayalam films is worlds standard!! Actors, technicians, writers etc. now industry technicians top peoples are from kerala
@@B1it3krieg until 80's and early 90's Malayalam film means sex (adult) films in Tamil Nadu. In my school and college days, if a guy says he went to a Malayalam film it mean by default its a adult film and many people will laugh at those people. Parents don't allow children to watch Malayalam films in those days.
People who once upon a time Malayalam movie is sex films..I think they don’t even bother to see good and character movies during that period..
8:02 BR is just saying “right right” for everything but he should know that RGV has mastered the “art of arguing and making his point however contradictory or illogical it is”. He says that he did not recognise any actor in Oppenheimer and it still worked because of the content and he doesn’t even give the superstar director Nolan any credit for making the movie work.
First of all the movie Oppenheimer went to sets because “Nolan was directing it”. If any lesser director from the franchise of Fast and Furious wanted to start that film he wouldn’t have got any funding in the first place.
Next there are plethora of popular actors in that movie. Including the leading three - RDJ who has a massive fan following right now thanks to Iron man and his charisma off screen. Emily Blunt has carefully chosen roles which have pushed her into the prime mainstream zone once occupied by Hathaway. Whereas Cillian has cult fan following from his series Peaky Blinders.
Just because RGV has no clue who they were doesn’t mean they were nobodies for the majority of the movie watching public, he cannot base his entire premise of the story of Oppenheimer being so content rich that it would have made money irrespective of the people involved in its making.
The entire interview is peppered with such logical fallacies and other such nonsense. Had Oppenheimer been made by a bunch of nobodies with the same budget, the movie would have nuked itself and the producer’s bank balance. 😂😂😂
Edit : also his entire theory about liking a movie irrespective of the director's name is such nonsense! I mean how the hell would Oppenheimer be so interesting if Nolan had not directed it? Many directors would probably make a documentary type movie on OP. It was Nolan who had the Spielberg type sensibilities to make it a thriller type movie but at the same time paying a homage to the great man like John ford and yet having the Kubrick's vision to make a high concept movie reachable to the masses. It is complete BS to say that he would have liked OP even if Nolan's brand wasn't there. I mean OP would have been some documentary if not for the great director Nolan.
Such a nonsensical interview. 😅🤣🤣
Nonsense and you went through like an essay making no sense at all . 😂
Simple question : Would you watch a rom com with Nolan at its head or would it make the same amount of money comparing with Oppenheimer ? Anyone who went in to watch Oppenheimer were going for the bomb or atleast knew about the subject matter . Nolan is an extra sell and that’s it . Try to listen to people and not judge like an absolute moron .
seri moodu.. nolan related naale indians will be the first to come out and whine
Avatar make 400 cr because hollywood is brand people love hollywood action visual
Hollywood is brand people watch movies just for action visual
dumb Indian commercial look cringe compare to foreign cinema
I wish to see RGV ka comeback
When they were discussing on the Ramayana/Mahabharat topic, I was hoping they had touched upon Kalki movie and how the mythological story was beautifully woven into a futuristic/fictional movie.
Kalki is example of mediocre Indian cinema
Wow now you caption is a “Click Bait” 😅
20:34 He is talking about Kerala story and another film called 'Bastar'. Which film is it which doesn't have any takers. Can someone clarify this..?
kerala story and bastar movies are made by same director with same cast and producer but one film worked and other film bombed at boxoffice so he saying that we dont know when a film work and when a film doesnt work.
@@vamshicompany8547 Thanks a lot Vamshi.🙏🏿
Satya was a 100 times better than Oppy
What?
BR with others seem he is too intellectual but not infront of great RGV...
Intellectuality of directors (that does not mean people who are highly educated) is the key for good movies to be made. Ray, Mehboob, Guru Dutt, Benegal, Balachander, Adoor, Nihalani, Bimal, Chetan and more are people who made great movies.
I do not mean to disrespect Ram Gopal Verma garu, but having made movies like Rangeela where all we saw was Urmila shakes and moves or having Isha Kopikkar dance to Khalas or other heroines or taking full advantage of Amitabhji's superstardom Sarkar, Sarkar2 etc., it is hypothetical for him to say Indian movie makers think about themselves and not about the movie industry.
Lets also appreciate kanada films expanding horizon like kgf, kanthara though both are different type but still attracted audience from all states
For RGV about Malayalam films

Thanks for saving my mbs
Thanks
Thank u u saved my time
What is the place of this interview
I saw Oppenheimer only because it was directed by Nolan , If it was directed by any other director i would have not seen it. Along with quality film , the film makers previous films also impacts . If a new director directed we would have listened about it in some RUclips channel and try to watch it in OTT not in theatre
I totally agree with Tenet I watched in cinema Hall by seeing the poster of the movie and that name Christopher Nolan . Although it did not done that big in box office collections but the people watched it only cause they know it's coming from Nolan because of his previous works . People still don't know that the ghajini movie is a remake of Memento directed by Nolan . So that's the impact of a story how he executed it on the screen .
@@pitambarjena7511 Yes me too I also watched tenet only because of the Name Nolan. There's nothing to do with movie talk good or bad talk I'm gonna go only because of the name Nolan.
2K kids should understand that there is no top director. Films make directors. There are well directed films but there are no top directors..
last 2:30 sec💯🔥
💥💥🤯
2:57 We do have capacity to make but producers are scared to make it.
Technically speaking....no
I got to know about Malayalam film industry via Shakeela
The problem with making a known story is that the ending is already known to the masses,so the challenge really is how well you can visually tell known story without adding your version to it.
This is the reason Bahubali -1and 2(2015 & 2017) did really well , because noone knew the ending thereby giving Rajamouli liberty of adding his creativity ,where as when Mani ratnam attempted PS-1&2( 2022 &2023) ,his creative liberties were super thin putting him in a quandry of going through the motions and not able to do visually justice to a known story .in contrast manu ratnam naygan did well becauee it was his version of godfather so he could creative liberties as he wished .
The whole summarybof this interview is the only thing that I knpw is that I domt knpw anything❤
I have to say I disagree with RGVs points of view in several places.
Oppenheimer's success is only due to Nolan's "star" value. Maybe RDJ's inclusion in the film might also give it a little boost, but mostly its on Nolan.
Yeah for me it’s Nolan and cilian Murphy
@@mashayathshaik6913 Batman is bigger than hollywood superstar
@@raja-jl9os I was talking about Oppenheimer bro because of those two I saw the movie is what I meant
Interstellar, Dunkirk and tenet r utterflops in india.. Where Nolan fans has gone😂😂😂
@Vihari9 okay, they may be utter flops, but I can confidently say if it's not for Nolan, no general audience would've given a crap about Oppenheimer, like how not enough people gave a crap about Rocketry for it to be a ravishing success despite having an actor known all over India in the lead role
there's nothing related to audience intelligence for Oppenheimer's success in India. If anyone else takes that movie, no one would even know that. As BR said, the movie is a hit because of Christopher Nolan alone.
Very few people mostly movie lovers watch movies based on directors, 90% films which got success introduces director. Who called Oppenheimer a success film, is it oscar making them to call it success, I don't think so.... Because most oscar films got difference in opinion among general audience. Oppenheimer is a success for the audience who are waiting for it.
@@cineholicedits4066 it got 1Billion worldwide. The highest for Chritopher Nolan. That too for his not so great work compared to his previous movies. It got so any Oscars and you don't call it a success? and the topic I was countering is only about Oppenheimer doing 100Cr in India and am taking about Indian audience.
@@randombytes23 Yeah. His point would be valid for almost any other blockbuster, but saying a Nolan film would be as popular if someone else made it is a bit of a stretch. He is probably the only director who could have made as much he did in Dunkirk and Tenet. But I agree with RGV for pretty much any other big success - it's what the film is saying that is resonating with people and everything else is subservient to it.
RGV's point is even if someone else had directed Oppenheimer with the same intensity, it would have had a good run and I second that.... Nolan may have given a good opening buyt movie went on to make 100 crore only because it was good....
That's not true
3.30 legend sad😊
He speaks about nolan and makes movies about sex and nudity
Hat's off to RGV's ideology 🫡
After watching nd observing this whole interview I can say that If I ever make a biopic on Osho Rajnish I'm gonna cast RGV in tht role for sure 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
That big star is Prabhas and the film is Adipurush 😅
Alajadi movie similar storyline like shiva
Mr RGV I'm surprised you didn't recognise Robert Downey Jr
@12:30 Adipurush left the chat.
The interviewer did not push RGV enough on Oppenheimer becoming a hit half due to its star director .. i disagree with RGV here because once a director becomes well known, the initial pull is from a director's star value,be it Maniratnam or Spielberg or Nolan
3:43
😊
One should watch 'Raan' of yours... You depicted future...?😂
RGV needed coffee during his interviews. His interviews are more sensible and his brain functions better with coffee😅
@15:39 "we can't do those things because certain things that happens" What the hell does that even mean?
Protest and ban . Ex padmavat
don't agree with the RGV point , without Christopher Nolan's name on the Oppenheimer film , 95% of audience would have slept in theatres.
Now that percentage of the sleeping audience is just less.
rurally malayalam cinema is still know for bgrade porn only. The recognition of Malayalam actors is still through the characters done in Major industries like Hindi, Telugu and Tamil alone. Come out of internet, you will see Mollywood is a pop culture reference to Indian Porn.
Directors don't make difference to audience? Maybe you mean the box-office ($$$) Sir?
Oppenheimer's effect is due to the non-linear timelines which is typical of Nolan directed movies. Indian directors do not dare to dream to become Auteur's in their own right, that's the problem...
And even if they do, Anurag Kashyap for example; there has been a deterioration in quality of his films as financial incentives became the pursuit...
Can we or do we technically have the capacity to produce a Satyajit Ray in this day and age? I believe with direct OTT options, the bet should be much higher. Sure we need a big star to carry the film or show, but with a few exceptions; most directors did.
Hero worship and masala storytelling destroy whole Indian cinema specially commercial cinema
Onces malayalam movies means sess film watch nirmalyam neelakuyil chemeen nellu bhargavi nilayam etc which was way head of its time even eli pathayam
