Sonu ke Titu Ki Sweety was probably the most baffling and terribly conceived film I have seen in maany years.
Nothing in that movie made any sense.
Sonu came across like a psychopathic madman madly in love with Titu and spoiling all his relationships.
Was I supposed to root for him?
Rani Mukerji is also one of the noted and talented actors after the Sridevi and Madhuri era. I don't know why she is so underrated and often ignored? The way she performed in black, no other actress could have and still can't.
I would suggest not putting all the names in the title, the thumbnail already mentions that.
You should rather mention the topic of the conversation to entice the viewers to click more.
Just a suggestion,Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Plus I would also suggest putting the date or episode number so that people who want to go back and see episodes, it will be easier to choose what to see as per their interests. Now it just looks like all the episodes will have FC Film talk as the title and nothing more.
they are diving against being just a " click bait" , you'll follow the show for the people in it rather than the caption
I get what you are saying, but as this channel grows and gets newer subscribers, putting a topic in the heading might be helpful for these subscribers to go back and listen to what Anupama and gang had to say about films that they might not have had the chance to see during its initial theatrical release.
Pushaan Sood even I feel the same
I agree! I love these conversations but I usually get confused which ones I have watched and not watched.
I don't want you people to stop talking,,,, love, love, love
Lamhe is my first memory of movies!! I love that movie... one of the best movie of Sridevi... what a performer she was!! #Legend #Sridevi ❤️
Bollywood lost its female super star while Tamil cinema had lost one of its finest actors! That's the difference. She had done lot of meaningful movies in Tamil (few in Malayalam and Telugu too)
baby driver . May be by the kind of movies she did in Hindi. You should watch few of her Tamil movies where she performed so well and you won't say she is oaf.
she did maximum films in telgu according to wikipedia
rahul tiwari but she did mostly glamour roles and had nothing to do in those movies in Telugu (only few exceptions are there)
True!
It's so good to see all three of u together giving ur piece of mind reviewing movies ,it's damn intelligent & unbaised.
I totally agree with everything what you guys said about Sonu. It went with a little bit of expectations but got terribly disappointed.
Sridevi ruled bollywood... when she left bollywood post her marriage , It wasnt madhuri or any other actressess who got chances but it was SRK n salman .... When Sri was in a movie,didnt matter who is the hero..... After sridevi's exit SRK n Salman started to rule bollywood
Don't feel bad about being slammed fro your review of Sonu....whatever, the people who agreed with you didn't bother to comment. You know your review is fair and that's all that matters
Monday is no more a sucker...bcz of Film Companion. Although i did not agreed with review for SKTKS. That's okay...but Film Companion rocks. Why don't you and Rajeev Masand team up. It would be so cool.
They have earlier
For a moment it made me feel Sonu is a gay. that ending would have been so apt, seeing the possessiveness of Sonu towards Titu.
He was. Also the dadaji and his friend. Fo sho. I was rooting for the girl and therefore happy with the ending cause she woudl have been a beard had she married that guy,
You're so dumb
Thank you, you people :) ! I have one request though.. Why spend so much time of the 28 minute video talking about Sonu Ke Titu or Welcome to New York, when there is a Three Billboards :)
*May Her Soul Be Rest In Peace 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢*
Nushrat Bharucha was in LSD too...dont you guys remember good cinema?!
Bingo! Wonder why they totally missed that one.
What is lsd bro
Sucharita giving an example of her brother not liking the film to show that not all men liked the film!!! I need to tell u a lot of women liked the film!!!!!! Sucharita that is the point, some people like the film, some don’t!!!
exactly....tat was such a cheap shot..... i think she was clutching at straws to please the boss....if genders were reversed in the film and the film was as good. all guys would have still liked ir
Loved the discussion! FC talks all sensible..
Will Rahul ever like a movie?
One day.
Rahul Desai 😁😁😁
Not Today 😂😂
Guys come on just dont take it so seriously. Its just another fun movie and it was entertaining for sure. Also u three need a reality check. Go and check the theatres, there are equal number of men and women watching the movie together.
Stupidity always wins like yourself...
@@dishadogra4233 OK Ma'am whatever u say 😊
I think it was fairly obvious that Nushrat's character was faking a lot of what she was doing to impress everyone. Her motivations were clearly more about money and taking control over the finances ( the background tune which played on repeat in her scenes had the lyrics "I am a gold digger").
Siddhartha Verma Exactly, I commented the same! Plus she clearly said she would kick Sonu out first
Nusrat's acting was amazing and heartbreaking in Akaash Vani. You should watch it
Sonal key titu ki sweety is kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi compressed to 3 hrs
If u talking about sense I dnt think thre is no movie worst then tiger zinda hai.but you rated it more then this movie.bigger names more stars I guess.
Anupama has already said earlier that star rating should never be used to compare 2 movies. Rajeev Masand and other critics also mentioned this fact.
Very true. TZH was boring to the core but guess nobody wants to get in bad books of salman khan
They have to run the business too .. So they are lenient.. tiger zinda hai was terrible but YRF
Watch Akash Vaani. It has a good message and is very true to reality.
The kind of movies and scripts written today, I just wish that actresses like Shridevi, Madhuri, Tabu and Kajol were young today... There are no actresses that can match them... May be Vidya Balan and Kangana... No one else.
so true...
not kajol though
Priyanka Chopra
naah
Vidya, Kangana, Konkona, Kalki, Priyanka
From the list you presented only Sridevi is the one who could hold her own in movies without playing the stereotypical abla naari or the sex siren.
You can stream it for free on hotstar....
Guys this a great series, keep it going. I look forward to your opinions every week.
YOu have not seen Akash Vani...and you are criticizing Luv Ranjan!!...It was a beautiful movie depicting the Tabos and all. You should now see the reason why Luv ranjan is continuing to work on these kind of scripts...and not like Akash Vani.
Hi, I respect your view. But after watching the film, I feel that it was not important to know what Sweety (Nusarat) has done wrong. What is important is that here is the guy who trusts his best friend more than anyone. I don't think Luv Ranjan needs to declare or showcase them as a gay couple or anything. It was just the friendship over love. That is it.
Can all critics file a pitition to ban varun dhavan from bollywood?
Anupama is quite impressed by him. So, I doubt it is even a possibility.
Why? He is a good actor and a dancer.
and Tiger Shroff
Ha BC itni achi acting karta h ki beech fight mai gunde ko rukne bolta h aur gunda ruk bhi jata h
The Logic less I wish 😂
All respects to the great Sridevi. She was a great actress and a very decent human being. But I have to ask this question because I saw this written in several places. They are saying she was the first female actor who could make a film a success all on her own. I think that is unfair to other actresses.
First, how many movies like that does she really have? When I look back at her filmography, I really see only four movies like that - the double-role Chaalbaaz (which was a remake of Hema Malini's Sita aur Gita - so certainly the "first" claim falls flat there), the snake revenge drama series Nagin/Nigahein (both films' sucess was as much attributable to the great villains cast in the films and also, both films had big male stars cast opposite her, even though in a supporting role), English Vinglish and Mom, the latter two of which came out only after we had actresses like PC, KR and VB give us some big female oriented BO successes. All her other movies had big male names cast opposite her and her roles were no different from other actresses of that era. It is absolutely incorrect to attribute the success of those movies only to her.
Secondly, and this is the bigger problem - how can people forget or erase the legacy of the amazing leading lady roles Hindi movies have had in the past where the leading ladies made the films a success. The list is big but to name a few that come to mind: Nargis in Mother India/ Raat aur Din, Sadhana in WKT/ Mera Saaya/ etc., Waheeda Rahman in Khamoshi, MeenaKumari in Pakeezah/ SBG, Zeenat Aman in Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Hema Malini in Sita aur Gita, etc. The problem is that many Indians are so stuck in the Hindi films of the 70s and 80s when the male (aka. Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachhan) ruled Hindi films that they have forgotten that at one time Hindi cinema used to make great movies and tell inclusive stories.
I really feel the last scene was great! when you say that girl didn't do anything for that but she did actually intended to come in between the guy's relationship, She wasn't doing to please anything and she was intending to get the control of the house. You should not bash the movie if you can't grasp the idea, it was entertaining and funny and you're just being biased lol. And the best part about you guys is that you haven't seen Akash vani and how conveniently you've formed an opinion about Luv ranjan and his movies. Akash vani is one of the most underrated movies which even you so called "critics" didn't even praise! Sad to see. Don't make everything Gender related issue if you didn't watch akash vani.
True....and akashvani flopped also...that's what we do with good movies
Loving these conversations, guys. Keep 'em coming! :)
This is great. It is hard to find spoiler videos. Also, it’s good to discuss it in a 3 person panel as it gives us different perspectives.
Huge respect to the Empress Sridevi. Nobody lit up the screen like she did. The first ever memories for me was Sridevi dancing. Thank God for Sridevi. May she rest in peace
Rahul and Sucharita are repeating what I have seen mentioned elsewhere in American media (in part for political reasons) - the redemption arc in Three Billboards. I am not sure there is any redemption shown in the movie at all, not in my view.
Still shocked that anupama gave 1½ star to SKTKS
I don't think the ending of the movie suggested at all that Mildred and Dixon were going to go and kill the guy. The purpose of the last dialogue was in fact to hint at the exact opposite. Mildred asks Dixon, "Are you sure about this?". He answers, "About killing this guy? Not Really. You?" And Mildred answers, "Not really. I guess we can decide along the way." For me there was no grey area. They had decided not to kill the guy. It was a continuation of the "anger begets anger" theme of the last half of the movie, and the arc the characters were experiencing after Willoughby's letter. I really don't see why people are not getting the ending. For me it did not feel open-ended or ambivalent at all.
I second that.
People who are battling with life every day and have lived their lives to the fullest are not dying, but people with so much of life left with them are leaving this world. Paul Walker, Phillip Hughes, heath ledger, om puri, reema lagoo and now Sridevi are the perfect example of this.😐😔😔
Dear Anupama,
I think I might change your mind about that ending. See, the film is all about redemption, right? And if it had ended with the two of them setting out on that open road, I would have not liked it, definitely. But when they say that they are ‘not really’ sure about killing the man, it is, in my opinion, the director holding on hope for these two people brought together by two terrible tragedies. I think that on that straight, open road, somewhere there’s a bend or a curve and they turn back. In that last dialogue, the director makes it pretty conclusive, pretty smartly I’ll say, so I would argue that the film is not open ended at all. The director’s intentions have always been very clear.
Let me know what you think, if you read these things at all.
I hated SKTKS. That movie lacked in a lot many more sense. I agree with whatever you say! I really don't get why ppl are blind as well as stupid! so stupid.... What entertainment and what was light hearted there?? What ? It connected with so many ppl itself disturbs like so many ppl think and consider this stuff.
They should do an episode discussing the oscar nominations. Their views on the
Films /Performances etc.
recommendations maybe
Wow, you haven't seen Akash vani and how conveniently you've formed an opinion about Luv ranjan and his movies. Akash vani is one of the most underrated movies which even you so called "critics" didn't even praise! Sad to see
You called out the boys on the Pyaar ek Dhoka hai. Did you actually get to see the coverage? There were almost the same amount of Girls out there participating in that activity. So the Audience for such movies is equally distributed among the genders. It has nothing to do with the gender.
Anurag Bhamre lol...no it's not.
Pyaar Ek Dhoka is about being single on Valentine's Day and loving it.
SKTS is about men acting as victims of their girlfriends.
Kuch bhi?
Sarah Siddiqui Did you even read what I typed? I was mentioning the fact that the AIB event for Pyaar ek Dhoka hai included women too. Nothing else.
You're right. Sexism is propagated by both genders alike
Hey bollywood... Whn r u going to make film on bisexual triangle love story.... ????
tony there is no need for that crap..! We are better off with out that
@@candypants5099 over enthusiastic losers
Mr. India was actually such an important film!
During the whole movie, it was perfectly implied that Sweety was a gold digger which is why she was being the “perfect” daughter-in-law. I didn’t enjoy the movie either but I don’t think the movie was sexist. Sonu just wanted to protect Titu from a gold digger.
Cm'on guys.. SKTKS was a genuinely funny movie with some really well thought through writing.. Just that the director made a movie with a evil heroine and not give the logic behind it, and you are ripping him apart..
Agreed that he has been making movies on similar lines, with similar plots and similar endings, but all the 3 have been really really funny.. Also, please watch AkaashVani and your opinion about Luv Ranjan will change..
I felt your review of Sonu ki whatever was fair.
Anupama do not worry what people think. I get it. Some people thrive on female bashing and they just can’t digest the fact of end of patriarchy. They continue to reinforce the idea by these shitty movies. I totally get why “Bhagwan ne acchi ladki banana band kar diya hai” is WRONG on so many levels. It shows how regressive our society is even today. I saw someone in comments saying you are okay with Padmavat which is regressive. I am shocked again. These people just don’t get the idea of movie setup of 13th century vs 2018 do they? Unfortunately as long as we have gender biases in society prevalent. Nothing’s gonna change. One more thing Anu, you may have maids to get a lot of things for you. But the idea of “achi ladki” today is still having her cook 4 course meal for family, do a mata ka jagrata, make tea, make Diwali sweets all alone, manage to look good after all this.
Just for the love of music couldn’t agree more. So socially irresponsible to be validating these ass backward ideas about girls. Wtf
Female -bashing is one of the outcomes of trying to protect patriarchy. But it can also be the outcome of some relationship dynamic shown in his previous movies like pyaar ka punchnama 1 and 2. Any character from those relationships would have the same attitude towards women and such power relationships.
Anupama doesn't get SkTKS but get befikre which ppl didn't get it 😜😜
Anupama mam i watched sonu k titu ki sweety yesterday.I agree on all your points ending was one of the laziest ending i have seen in a while.I agree on all your point except one.About sweety need a backstory to be bad.She was greedy it is implied in the movie and even the background score called her gold digger.I may be doing a blasphemy here on making the comparison but even in "There will be blood" we donot find any reason for DDL character to be bad.It is implied that he is bad just because he is,no reason given what so ever.Still it is very well appreciated.Just some thought which came in my mind
SUCHARITA!!!... Log in to oscars.com and watch it live there on their official site
Guys pls change the locations for this series. Just an advice. Like some restaurant or outdoor. It will look much more appealing visually.
Thanks for bringing in more content in the last two months FC, I look forward to your videos.
You can stream OSCAR live on hotstar. Last year hostar is streaming the oscar live
One question
If the movie ' call me by your name' won't get release in India, will you guys not discuss about that movie?? I mean it might not get released here..But you guys gotta discuss about that one..
It's more of a request though 🙏
i think 3 billboards was better than shape of water anyday ! it has to win the best picture
hello Sucharita and Rahul! Can you please watch Sridevi's telugu movie- kshana kshanam, directed by RGV (1991). its on Amazon prime. i really want your take on that.. This movie broke many barriers in Telugu industry..
Nusrat Bharucha was in Dibakar Banerjee's Love, Sex, aur Dhokha! Have you guys not watched the best Indian film ever? :(
Will you be doing a longer video feature on Sridevi- her work in South India and Bollywood?
I love watching the three of you discuss movies! I can't get enough
Srideviji, a legend forever...media should stop making shit assumptions coz we don't give a fuck. She is not gonna come back man.
u warched welcome to newyork and that to on your bday. That impresses me man hats off. gr8 u specify spoiler alert before saying❤. i wish every1 do that
I love Anupama's style of mimicking movie dialogues. Belated Happy Birthday.
Three billboards 2.5 stars
Phhantom thread 2.5 stars
Call me by your name 3 stars
My review of the 3 oscar nominated movies.
Absolutely agree... Sonu ki sweety such waste of tym... Literally no story.. Cheesy dialogues.. Stupid climax.. This male critic is so right... Sweety has only one thing doing hey m gold digger slowmotion... Till end.. Slow motion... Theres no story at all.... So disappointed
Can you do a video discussing the upcoming big budget films like 2.0, sanju, race 3, thugs of hindustan and Zero ???
I too had a problem wid Sweety not being given a reason why Sonu hates her.....but the dialogues and certain gags bcoz dat is wat dey wer.....nd agreed alok nath was awesome
SKTKSKS is a stupid film about North Indian Punjabi bros
I tend to agree with each of the panelists. It is about what you take away from it. Movie is crap, full of flaws, wrong if at all any message. But I found lines and situations funny.
So he saw Mr. india after Lamhe ... thats quite an indie taste for its time ... hahha
So Anupama said that she doesn’t see a movie from women’s point of view and then went on talking about how the film showed women in bad light .. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sumit Asrani cause movie shows women in wrong light many men feel same...its nt abt gender
Becoz she is reacting not as a feminist but as a human being . I felt the women characters were caricatures, like what a teenage boy who has been dumped by a girl would have written.
There are two female characters in the film .. those 2 characters do not necessarily represent all women ... there is no outrage when men are shown as sex hungry creatures .. watch a movie as a movie not as propaganda
What happened to the takla in the south channel
Sonu Ki Titu was a very honest film. It shall be an educational film for ladies who are in a relationship. They shall know how a guy feels when he gets manupulated by feminine tactics. Plus the plot was very feminist because it showed woman in charge of a man's life. full in control. Guys had to put an effort to get out of that trap. A very honest film which resonated with urban youth that's why people are watching it again and again. I think women critics would have appreciated the film more if the gender roles were reversed like in Veeerey di Wedding. These critics are so sexists. Overall i think Sonu ki Titu was an honest film sugercoated in comedy with brilliant direction, script and acting. Loved it.
Has the movie 'I, Tonya' released yet?
It was released long bak.
Kunal Aware How come it's not on any online platforms??
Did u see it? i found her acting better than 3 billiboard's lead. casting was really good
Indrani Das loved it. Amazing performance! I'm shocked that she dint receive academy award in best actress category for this performance😑
Tanuja 'Miaka don't know. Its available on torrents though ;)
Did anyone think that Sam Rockwell's character in 3 billboards was a closeted gay guy?
Nushrat barucha debuted in Love, Sex & Dhoka. One amazingly awesome movie in her profile!
Where was the back story of mogambo ... where was the back story of shakal.... For decades and decades men have been portrayed as villains in bollywood... out and out black shade with no reasoning ... in thousands of movies the girl runs away in the climax because she realizes someone else is more important or she is getting married to the wrong person.... dil hai ki manta nahin, dil chahata hai etc... why is such a big deal that there is a guy this time who walks away and the girl is left at the alter ... just like in most of the movies how the hero saves heroine from getting married to the wrong person ... this time the hero saves his friend from getting married to the wrong person... please stop wrong portrayal of women empowerment to the society .... it strictly means equality and not supremacy ....
I really empathize with you Anupama for watching ''Welcome To New York" !!😅😅
if you are here for 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' @ 19.00
Well the ending of "the secret in their eyes (2009)" still haunts me
God I loved 3 Billboards and wow Rahul Desai loved it as well ! 😄
Waiting for this guy to like a movie
2050: Still Waiting
You didn't have to wait that much cause he loved October and AndhaDhun.
Again with the ending of three billboards. Even though I expected it to be a rape revenge for a minute second and I just got carried away that they should, then the director just blew me away with a little dialogue between both the characters inside the car.
Something like "should we really?, I don't know, whether it's correct thing to do"
That is genius in my opinion, making audience think on what they have to take away from the film. It wouldn't be as impactful if they killed or they backed off. It takes time to sink in and when you get it it's all in your brain.
Talking about the performance of Francis Mcdormand she is more impactful than meryl Streep and Sally Hawkins in my view, her scope in this film was limited when compared to Sally because there are two more great actors who had great character arcs and nearly as captivating as her. Despite of that she did her best. Haven't seen Margot robbie's work
But I think Francis McDormand should win
You mentioned she just said 'Main Chaalu Hu' and didn't do anything. They didn't show but it was quite obvious, everything she was doing was a fake drama, the kadhi and mata ka jagrata. The whole rishta was pre planned, she researched this guy who is like bhola bhala and who she can control and then they sent the rishta. If you hear the background, 'she is a goal digger', she accepted she was and she planned everything. She was just getting married for the money and controlling the house! She also very very clearly mentioned she is going to kick his best friend (who is like a brother) from Sunny's life and house, first as soon as she gets married!
arrey they’re sophisticated critics, they can’t see that and then says she isn’t biased
she also had sex with him just in case he says no so then she can file a police complaint against him and send him to jail
More over she wanted to break the friendship. She was a home wrecker and attention seeker
Did you guys decide to wear black and white to mourn the accidental death of Srideviji or was it coincidental? Even the coffee mugs are black and white. Previous episodes did not have same mugs I believe.
Haven't you guys seen Love Sex Aur Dhoka........ Nusrat movie
That subtle dig at AIB......savage
@sucharita last year I watched Oscars on Hotstar live. I don't know about this year.
Huge miss by you guys on SKTKS. The audience feels exactly opposite. Everyone seems to have loved it.
So the only sophisticated response is to get panties in a bunch on an entertainer? The woman is an antagonist in the movie and the dialogues are funny. It's an all out entertainer. No one cares for feminist bitching. The free market has delivered it's verdict.
Speak for yourself not for all of us.
That film was absolute garbage.
Sarah Siddiqui Box office collections speak for the audiences. Not me, you dolt.
Even I think Frances McD performance is not the best.. I actually liked Saoirse Ronan in Ladybird and Margot performance in I, Tonya more. This one was a bit too easy as Frances herself seems very rebellious in true life. But I think she's going to win this one.
Bhai log itni lambi discussion ka podcast bana diya karo video thoda lamba ho jata hai.
They did not marry??????
Sridevi was very big star but not a first superstar...Suraiya way back in 40s and 50s carried film on her own shoulder.
The definition of Meninist on google states that It is someone who believes that men are victimised due to feminism. Love Ranjan sir didn't retaliate against feminism. He chose to speak about something not very commonly spoken about. Such relationship dynamics are very frequently seen in relationships. A few years ago people did not talk about gay rights. That doesn't mean that the problem didn't exist. And if your argument is that feminism is fighting a bigger fight, Malala is fighting an even bigger fight. Shouldn't we wait until all those problems are solved before we talk about anything else?
What are your even saying? Patriarchy is the enemy to men.
No Game Night ? 😐 such a fun movie
Mam we didn't find review ofovie like eklauvya,wazir
Souvik Saha Those were produced by Anupama’s hubby! So she opted not to review!.
I miss this...😑
Thanks for the detailed analysis three of you, love these discussions
People should understand that having a debate and argument should be more healthy.
Before you judge and start calling names for them not liking what you enjoyed.
The reason why we are still bad at cinema is we are not perceiving it properly and we are not talking about it in detail. We should stop watching the world from a key hole, open up more to other perspectives. If the content creators understand that people are not taking their bullshit anymore they will work on more suspenseful stuff
I'm hopeful looking at the way 2017 was huge flop for bad bollywood movies.
