Perfect choice to speak about Mahendran Sir. Delightful interview. Absolutely riveting. As Suhasini reminisces, she takes us along a beautiful, nostalgic trip down memory lane. She had so many interesting facts to share. It came straight from the heart. Especially loved the description of the authenticity of the Panchayat scene in ' Udhiri Pookal' & the narration of the way Sri & Rajini got into character in ' Johnny'. Awesome.
so much of interesting trivia.. Rangan just needs to poke hasini and she goes like a wild river gushing with details. Beautiful interview Rangan kudos to you to bring the best out of her. For me it was nostalgic as i grew on these films.
What a lovely interview! Gotta revisit all of Mahendran films soon! Had literal goosebumps when she narrated how SriDevi took over that classic scene in Johnny!
Suhasini is such a deep learner and also intelligent ofcourse. Her memory is razor sharp. Guess the genes is one of the best. Even Anu hassan has a very good memory and thought process.
Being a wife to one of the Greatest and the most celebrated Director of India - Mani Ratnam and saying "Enna Porutha varaikkum Director Naa adhu Mahendran dhaan" Thug Life - Suhasini
Totally diff suhasini .... mostly she acts like a goofball , she come across intelligent smart deep and intellectual .... today I changed my view of her
Almost a mini master class in cinematography, Ashok Kumar means lighting and Balu means composition, amazing details. They say focus pulling is the toughest job in a movie set. Surprised to know she worked as a focus puller in Jonny. Too bad she never practiced cinematography, it would have been awesome to see her aesthetic vision through the lens. Love and respect Suhasini ma’am. Amazing interview BR sir.
70s and 80s were the era of tamil cinema... so great to hear that directors met at each ones homes for discussions, more kind of family get-togethers..but now she rightly pointed out that they meet in bars..!! Mahendran, Ilayaraja, Kamal, Rajini, KBalachandar, Bharathiraja, Bhagyaraj...the icons of tamil cinema. In all, I pick up my Maestro Ilayaraja to be my God even now...! Hats off to this wonderful interview..felt sad that it ended so soon...!!
One of the best interviews I have ever seen. felt so natural and heartfelt. I guess it is because of the love and respect for Mahendran sir and yet, thank you BR and Suhasini ma'am for shedding light on the nuances of his films and his working style
My little niece saw me seeing this video and said 'The man looks like a rasagulla' 😁 Konja valandhadhu peravavu I'll introduce your videos.. rasagullas are sweet. Saapta Nalla puriyattum
Watched this interview after 4 years after it was shot ( or that is what youtube says !!! ) .. seeing Suhasini's eyes glow when she speaks about Mahendran .. for all that acting she did and with due to respect to her performances in front of the camera , we missed a good cinematographer in Suhasini is what I would say ... great memories and I am really jealous of her that she had access to all legends during her prime.. what an interview .. well done BR.. it is easy to ask annoying questions interrupting the guest but you let her talk and share her experience
Rajni came from the Institute, may've wanted to become a good Actor, but ended up becoming a mass-hero. Kamal came from an elite family background, may've wanted to become a mass-hero, but ended-up becoming a good artist. Irony of Tami Cinema.
Another beautiful interview. I see the admiration in your eyes and your approach either to what she's saying or that fact that she's such an experienced senior in the industry. I hated "Sindhu Bharavi" as I was in high school and could not relate to the subject. I saw it recently in my 40s and loved the movie to bits. She spoke so beautifully about the relationships in the film industry in those good old golden days when there was no superstardom ( or so I think) and people helped each other to survive like when Kamal sang for Raja sir s troupe. I did not know that. Beautifully said, that you can easily point out a "Bharatiraja" or a "KB" sir s movies but will not be able to point out a Mahendran sir's movie. I did not know the existence of Mahendran sir's existence but knew and loved all his movie. I enjoyed watching his muted and menacing acting in the recent movies. RIP Mahendran Sir. Thank you BR sir for doing this interview.
This interview is pure gold!! I even cried a few times, remembering the films she was talking abt. BR - you're a genius. You bring the best out of these people
My mom love u so much mam.she always think about u even in her sleep also😅😅😅 U look so young 😄😄😄and my mom look like u similar.😁😁😁 My mom watched watch's all ur all languages movies.she die hard fan of u😎😎😎 She watched all ur interviews also.... Love a lot 😘😘
If you are someone like me who reads comments while watching the interview. Please don't do it for this one. Such an amazing interview. Worthy of your time. Great work BR 👍 I am just bowled over by your style and the way you are able to recollect the facts.
Perfect choice to interview Suhasini about Mahendran...she shared such interesting facts about the director ...she explained the differences of working style between Mahendran , Balu mahendran & Bharathiraja.. very interesting & nostalgic moments which Suhasini had experienced... her association with Sarat babu & Pratap Pothen has been wonderful....sad we have lost 2 stylish actors. .

She is lady superstar in telugu,kannada,malayalam.she acted 160 films only for telugu.whytamil audience was not accept she's ladysuperstar ido not understand.may be she is.tamilian.
In a recent interview that i watched she mentioned that mani had asked for a movie before their marriage.... she said "no" bcoz she was busy in Kannada and she'll not shine with Lakshmi in the movie.... Mani... still says... that she refused him.... and will not cast her again in his movies...😃😃😃😉😉
It was a great insight into that world, thanks to Suhasini. Wish the movie "1234" was released. MISSED yet another movie's music by Maestro IR! "Kaise kahoon" is such a beautiful song and nobody would believe it was from a Tamil movie! Mahendran's movies are benchmarks for any generation of movie makers.
Suhasini the actor is somehow more familiar, but great to hear from Suhasini the technician. And so nice to hear about Mahendran. There is an honesty that shines through both from her and in the film-making that she's talking about. An honesty that was way ahead of its time.
Loved it. My opinion abt suhasini- i hate the fact that I love her. I was the first to like the video and the subject matter was so interesting. Enjoyed the talk between two intellectuals. I can go on writing about it.
Enjoyable chat with lots of experience sharing. Mam please do something to document these experiences about your period films more. Thanks! We can feel how you misses Mahendran the Legend.. We also miss him now sooooo much!! Would like to watch all his movies now!
"Both kamal and rajini loved mahendran. But fortunately or unfortunately, mahendran sir loved rajini more than kamal for the reason rajini and mahendran had more in common even apart from cinema".. 👌🙏
Thanks Suhasini ma'm for sharing your views especially Johnny film, how Sreedevi performed ... cud visualise the whole scene. My most favourite Nenjathai killadhe..,paruvame song & You.. started liking movies from that time. ... Also first impact for me on Raja sir's music. Wish I meet you sometime
"Mahendran sir helped ilayaraja to an extent to realise the freaky moderness (music) he had apart from the folkish sense for which he was much known for" 👌
Team Fc south kindly subtitle these videos responsibly so that even we non dravidian speakers can comprehend and enjoy the essence of such videos..thanks
I thought I was having an optical illusion as I am watching it late in the night. I even started worrying if I have some problem in neurological wiring something like multiple sclerosis. Thank God someone commented ‘was the editor drunk?’ Editing blips!! Quite a few!
this was that johnny scene mentioned at 28:54 the best lovable scene n performance by rajini n sridevi aprom antha bgm.. saaami.. sad to hear that the movie wasn't a hit... but still now audience love to watch on tv whenever aired
Could someone please subtitle this interview?As someone in the comments has already said.not all south indians are tamilians but that does not remove our love for cinema in any way
What was the glitch throughout the video? Thought something was wrong with my device. Didn't found in other TH-cam videos but repeated in other FCS videos.. :/ But thanks for this amazing interview BR🙏🏻😍
Thalaiva BR it's very nice you have started reviewing novels I request you to review short films so that short films get some light and we also get to watch something fresh n unique stories frequently 🙏🙏🙏
Such an amazing interview sir.BR sir I have to say that you have a knack of asking amazing questions and making the artist feel comfortable.It was though we kind of travelled with Mahendran sir in the 70's-late 80's.Keep up the good work sir.Waiting for such amazing interviews.
what do you mean its local? graphics card issue is a high possibility - depending on the software used and rendering issues. you cant say 'definitely' unless you worked on the project. the editor may have edited it correctly but had layers and those would generally not show up , tho its a high chance it will if the software plays upon rendering process due to graphics card issues. everyone loves to blame instead of giving the benefit of the doubt.
When Telugu actors are interviewed by this channel, they always speak in English. Then why not actors who speak Tamil do the same? They advertise their channel as Film Companion South, but cannot understand basic fact that all South Indians can’t understand Tamil. Suhasini garu is considered a popular actress in Telugu industry too... so what about Telugu people who are interested to listen to her interview? Not even subtitles are provided. Very disappointing!!
O man... This was an absolute pleasure! Such an engaging interview.. I am in awe of Suhasini Ma'am who spoke so passionately and zealously

The first time I watched her talk without irritation.. Great work BR..

Absolutely.. She can very easily irritate viewers.. This time NO

What a lovely interview! Would love to hear more stories about kamal and mani from her. BR should try another episode with Suhasini!

Suhasini is so blessed that she grew up and is living with great talented people.

Bro.. Actually Kamal wanted to become technician and not star or actor..
My goodness...that was a fascinating interview...it's amazing how you keep raising the bar! Keep going sir!

She is my favorite heroine of all times. I almost sawall her filmsin telugu.she is a great actress.
Amazing interview! Could keep hearing them talk all day. Enada takkunu mudinjuruchu nu thonichu.
A great interview. You should interview Rajni about Mahendran. Or Illaiyaraja about Mahendran.
My opinion or request too bro
If you are someone like me who reads comments while watching the interview. Please don't do it for this one. Such an amazing interview. Worthy of your time. Great work BR 👍 I am just bowled over by your style and the way you are able to recollect the facts.

Very nice tribute to Mahendran Sir. Suhasini is so authentic and sincere.
Only reason why I will always be grateful to Atlee.. for bringing Mahendran out for us 😓😓🙏
What did he do?
Please do a interview with Suhasini about her films and her career and the BIG QUESTION- why is she never ever seen in Maniratnam's movie?
In a recent interview that i watched she mentioned that mani had asked for a movie before their marriage.... she said "no" bcoz she was busy in Kannada and she'll not shine with Lakshmi in the movie....
Mani... still says... that she refused him.... and will not cast her again in his movies...😃😃😃😉😉

I am a big fan of South movies, kindly give us sub titles.
I don't think Anupama would be ready to pay BR extra for the subtitles, and it would be extra work without pay for BR, so I don't see it happening ;)
Kalpana - guess you are South Indian but this interview is Mahendran who recently died.
@@brainturl I am not South Indian I want English Subtitles For ALL Global Audiences
Interview was very interesting.. came to know quite a lot of information. .thank u mam
Mahindran's movies were like open canvas for Raja. He can paint whatever he wanted on it.
Excellent Combo.
Big fan of Suhasini . Humble and talented
Amazing amazing interview:) just could not stop or pause watching ! Suhasini terrific :)
Initially thought to skip this interview. Later saw the promo video and then changed my mindset. #Mahendran will be there with us through Rajinikanth.
Wonderful interview..always fan of suhasini
Really loved the interview..felt the interview duration is short...
Wonderful conversation! I really wish for a second part👍
Just wow. The interviewer just maintained the flow and exposed the brilliance of Suhasini
I am a big fan of her,such a talented and progressive lady❤️
It was a great insight into that world, thanks to Suhasini. Wish the movie "1234" was released. MISSED yet another movie's music by Maestro IR!

I agreed with Hasini about director Mahendran. I loved his work and stories.
Enjoyable chat with lots of experience sharing. Mam please do something to document these experiences about your period films more. Thanks!
We can feel how you misses Mahendran the Legend.. We also miss him now sooooo much!! Would like to watch all his movies now!
Class interview,right person who described the legendery director,mahendran
"Both kamal and rajini loved mahendran. But fortunately or unfortunately, mahendran sir loved rajini more than kamal for the reason rajini and mahendran had more in common even apart from cinema".. 👌🙏
When i saw Samsaram Oka Chadarangam I was hit hard about joint families
everyone has a story arc detailed characters
😍 TRUE 🤘
But the interview is abt revisiting director mahendran sir's works..
Thanks Suhasini ma'm for sharing your views especially Johnny film, how Sreedevi performed ... cud visualise the whole scene. My most favourite
Nenjathai killadhe..,paruvame song & You.. started liking movies from that time. ... Also first impact for me on Raja sir's music.
Wish I meet you sometime

I admire u more mam good interview

Suhasini usually has a slightly annoying arrogance to her but this conversation was a pleasure to watch; thanks to Mahendran and to Brangan.
podaran people who feel not comfortable/insecure in front of crowd usually portrays that behavior...Freudian Psychology
Such an amazing interview sir.BR sir I have to say that you have a knack of asking amazing questions and making the artist feel comfortable.It was though we kind of travelled with Mahendran sir in the 70's-late 80's.Keep up the good work sir.Waiting for such amazing interviews.
Very nice Mam... for Nostalgic shares & Thanx to BR
Kamal what a man he is ! I'm really proud of being a Kamal fan
Suhasini madam is a O2 member plus barawaj Rangan is the author of conversation with Mani Ratnam and words and worths customer
Is there any way that we can have these interviews with subtitles?

Because baradwaj rangan cannot speak telugu 😀. But your point is correct
