very interesting interview :)

[@sumanthnagabushan1063]

Excellent tennis match, lots of interesting rallies and volleys😊 insightful observations and points of view

[@RakeshBattulag]

You got it wrong when you talk about tech embargoes, tech embargoes apply when the reviewer gets a product beforehand that is not announced yet in the market, they are usually asked to not spoil the reveal so that the company can get the messaging right first. Afterall, it is their product and sending review unit to reviewer is not required but a process based solely on agreement between the 2 parties. When a movie is released to the public, the makers did have a chance to put their best foot forward on multiple occasions until then and after that, reviewing a movie that is already out in public is anybody's business and it is nobody's business to try and prevent people from talking about it. It is freedom of speech. Period. Trying to curtail it is lame and shows how confident makers are about their product.

Dulqer Salman interview with Bhardwaj for the movie chup was quite frosty.

[@shushunk00]

45:57 thats a materialist(not the consumerism thing) way of analysing the movie scene in south asia.

[@jothishpraburpita463]

Wasn't this video uploaded on film companion south many years ago? Am I mistaken?

[@ShortcastoverCoffee]

No it wasn't. As far as I know, BR is no longer part of the film companion

[@AdhiNarayananYR]

I have seen this video already, like some many months ago. So this is not a brand new content. Even the video title says rewind.

[@NPK96]

We seek calm in chaos….very true! Anyone agree with BR???

[@deepaksudevan5456]

Is this an old interview 🤔

[@V.H.Silva89]

Yeah. I watched a bit too and checked. This is a reupload of a video from this channel itself. Don't know why.
