the way samdish asks questions that satisfies his hunger to know more about things he plans to pursue in future, and things which might satisfy viewers who think alike, is so commendable. more commendable is how, we still continue to have a bunch of wholesome audience interested in watching interviews like these.
The varun story gave me chillis , This is how you direct good films with average actor if the director is good he make is actor a character that is only in his mind.
@suraj250684 what ! Badlapur director Shri Ram raghvan which has theatre background and he made even Katrina acts in Mary Christmas and direct films like andhadhun .
@RohanSharma-tq5jg And u think without an actor being capable the actor can deliver?. And Katrina was adequate, Varun was actually very good in Badlapur. There is a big difference.
@@suraj250684 iam not saying the are bad performer ,iam saying they only became great if they work with the good directors for example when varun Dhawan work with creators like David dhawan and Karan johar Cannot compete with Varun that works with shujit sircar but this is totally different with great performers like Ranbir h can pulloff massey performances as well as the grounded roles.
@ It is the requirement of the character is it not? He has to play to the crown in those movies. If he can deliver stellar performances in the hands of good directors then it means the audience acceptance is shaping Varun's choices. Look at the Citadel trailer, for example, he seems to have given a great performance there as well, Bhediya too was very good. So it's not just the director's credit as u appeared to imply. You can say that he needs to work on better movies and we as an audience need to encourage this!
This is one of those rare interviews where you feel sad when it ends. The conversation was just so real and free flowing, that you just feel like listening to it without any end. Just loved to peep into the brilliant mind of Mr. Shoojit Sircar. Great job Samdhish and team.❤️
Lovely lovely. Kya hi boluñ😊😊. I have been to Jallianwala twice in 20 years. The chaos that they have done and made out of this memorabilia by introducing thoughtless light and sound shows are saddening. Shoojit Sarkar just caught my feelings; it was uncomfortably eerie in Jallianwala. Not anymore. Why do we have to renovate everything to the extent to make them look like new!!!!
"Main to bol raha hun usko laa do wapas. Usko leke aao. Leke aao yaar." Shoojit da.... How you said these words... ❤ It was.... Can not express my .... Love you sir❤ Thank you Sandish for interviewing this great Director. Irrfan Khan ❤❤❤❤
Shoojit Sircar is so underrated.. just looking at the films he has made he should be given more airtime like this interview did. Simple yet great insight into his body of work in films.
Yaar, I miss Irfan even more now. And, Shoojit is one of my favourite directors (worldwide). Samdish bhai, this was something else. Thank you for this.
One of the best interviews... Touched not only about film-making but also about the philosophy of life in general ... October is one of the purest love stories.. But I didn't realise that he had put as much thought in Vicky donor as he did.. I can listen to Shoojit talking the whole day ... We need Shoojit " conversing" (as he calls it) with us more often about life.
Thank you, Samdish! This was the perfect Bengali Adda - filled with thought-provoking discussions, technical analogies, and, of course, biryani. I absolutely loved it.
Love the interview. Thanks Samdish. I remember meeting Soojit Sircar in Kolkata Airport Longe long back. He dropped his boarding pass and I happened to pick it up and giving it back to him. I realised later that he was Mr. Sircar!
Sujit sarkar is one of the best minds of our country..look at the different genre's of his films..social comedy to top notch thriller,hats off sujit da..apni bangali r gorbo..desher gorbo..
When shoojit talks abt irrfan feels like a poetry, beautiful interview again by u bring out the core of any person.Thank you samdish please make more interview like this .
When he started to speak about Vicky Donor Wedding scene, i felt like is this deja vu or i have seen him talking somewhere else the same thing. Beautiful to watch whole episode, very calm, and speaking about Irrfan khan friendship, made me feel like it should be a short but it's little longer for short but beautiful
I felt that the last 20 mins of this conversation was very thought provoking and people from any profession and walks of life can take queues from this. Once again congratulations to Samdish for conducting a great interview.
I knew about sujit sircar but not about his movies but during this interview i got to know that i have watched all the movies which has been discussed. Wtf those were awesome movies. I loved all those movies. He is a genius
Samdish bhai, I would've given infinite loves and likes if I could. Just listening to Shoojit sir is a therapy and spiritual. Huge admiration. And thank you for the conversation.
Why did they not talk about Shoojit's first film "Yahaan"!? It was a beautiful film from Shoojit. It was first movie to be in frey shade in Indian movie industry.
Very proud of a filmmaker like dear Shoojit Sirkar ji. What an amazing person he is. His bond with dear Irrfan is so heart touching. Samdish 's podcast is so natural.❤❤
This is the best conversation Samdhish, Shoojit is such an awesome guy. One of the best , in any forms you call it, podcast or interview or conversation. We should get to hear Shoojit Sir more often, .
Samdish, thank you. Thank you not only for doing this conversation, but for bringing out one of the best interviews ever. Probably there are very few such interactions/videos, where I haven't felt any urge to pause in between. The conversation flowed and took this viewer along with it. Brilliant!
You have done many episodes under unfiltered i think this one will touch lot of hearts and must be the most viewed one. Sudhir sir, Tigmanshu ji interview done earlier will remain among the top ones. ( especially the one in which he says condensation not steam ) You made me cry. All the best
Although there are so many MEMORABLE SCENES from SHOOJIT SIRCAR'S MOVIES but for ME, the SCENE that stands out is from SARDAR UDHAM where VICKY KAUSHAL is in JAIL and talking to the BRITISH LAWYER explaining JALIANWALA BAGH SEQUENCE and in the ending lines says,"KABHI ROOH KO SHAREER SEY ALAG HOTE DEKHA HAI AAPNE?". That one line sums up the whole emotion behind SARDAR UDHAM. Great Director and Great Interview by SAMDISH keeping it unfiltered as always. ❤😊🎉
Samdish you should invite Actors, Directors, Writers and conduct Masterclass. Man you're so good, you ask the right questions, you dig deeper. Keep up the good work brother. I wish it was 3 - 4 hours long where you could discuss scenes and stuff.
1:07:55 I'm a big fan of Madras Cafe and an avid reader about Sri Lankan Civil War, and trust me when I say this that it's THE BEST movie about the conflict. The best thing about that movie is, you've to take hints about the "hidden state" that provoked the war, and orchestrated the Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. Do watch.
If you someday want to make a film, and trying to be a storyteller. This interview is a masterclass by Shoojit Sir.. How this interview starts in a lighter note and matured with time is an example of brilliant editing. ❤
Legendary Directors like Surjit Sarkar, Vishal Bhardwaj, Diwakar Banerjee will not go to interview people like BeerBiceps but will definitely interview Samdish Bhatia, this is the thing about Samdish Bhatia which makes him special from others ❤

Really enjoyed.... Just like you said in today's world where everyone's into reels and shorts even I watch videos at 2x or 3x speed, but today i watched the whole interview at normal speed taking time and like he said in the end maybe it's because we don't get to have good conversations like this... Also, great fan sir ❤ thank you Samdish❤
1). Amazing director who understands that filmmaking comes with a responsibility and He has walked his talk by directing some amazing ones ! 2) Long form content are still being consumed, like this interview which made me dekay cooking lunch... But sit and hear the amazing conversation! 3) Men with such clarity in morals and values in Art and Entertainment Industry is rare to be seen these days. So glad he exists and hoping he brings out his thoughts and portrayals in the coing years too! #Shoojit Well done Samdhish ! It was an amazing interview ❤
I love the ease combined with deep conviction of Shoojit. An intellectual who carries it all very lightly. The variety of his work is astounding. As he spoke about meaning of cinema, I was struck by a thought, that now, I look every evening for engaging / stimulating art work and not entertainment in the conventional terms. It could well be an interview, like this one. And Samdish, you are the best at interviews. Thanks
I love every word of Shoojit in this interview and now I know why I could easily watch any of his movies. My favourite director of this current time for sure.
I so wanted Irrfan in this interview with Samdhish. RIP. Miss him utterly whenever someone mentions him, I go into a state of sadness. Love you Irrfan❤
In the years to come, these candid conversations by Samshish will be studied as case studies, providing insight into some of the greatest filmmakers and actors. Many thanks for giving us one more delightful and meaningful content.
Man Samdish knows almost everything about each and every field. Some of those brilliant people who you can speak on anything. You don't just have basic idea of everything but also deep knowledge of that to ask, talk and question with person you are interviewing. Huge admirer of you bhaiya. Truly an inspiration. 💚
this was the the second conversation after your Kashmir stories that I watched and gulped word to word. Hats off to your efforts , you also seemed to be engrossed in a few of the sections .
Absolutely loved every second of this interaction! Listening to Shoojit Sir was truly a treat-his openness, honesty, and candidness shine through. He effortlessly expresses emotions, politely sets boundaries, and shares a thought-provoking perspective on What is entertainment? Thank you for bringing us this wonderful video!
Piku man, I missed watching it n theatre, and now even if it releases I am miles away from India. But Piku is still one my top 5 movies, damn I never get bored of watching that movie, never ever. I have already watched it more than 10 times but still feels like I am watching it for the first time.
I am a film scholar from Bangladesh living in the USA. It was a great conversation. It was in depth and unearthed Sirkar's thoughts regarding cinema and his style of filmmaking. I got emotional the way he remembered the great Irrfan.
Here after watching the trailer of "I want to talk". I love his direction. The kind of movies he has directed are just pure love. Chaotic yet peaceful. Not much faaltu ka shor about his direction. Which is okay. Jisko jo dekhna hai dekho warna niklo.
i am half way and this interview is going to be my fav now ...before this it was the manoj pahwa one ...best ..love it ..the mother story , elephant story and everything else ....love it...ok going back to watching the remaining half...
socha tha 10-15 min dekh lu... but the conversations were so natural..... pata h nhi laga kab khatam ho gaya. thank you samdish . keep doing such videos
Oh! I was just scrolling through Instagram a few days back and I just saw a clip of this interview where he says ki yaar irfaan k bina nhi hoo paega ... Then I searched it and watched it. It was kind of soothing. It was easy to interpret even for an outsider. So yeah, well, one of the most amazing conversations❣️ wishing you more love and power.
Bhai saab... 2 ghnata kha gya, pta bhi nai chala... Felt like a movie.. ! Awsome interview Samdhish, same for Dada.. he was brilliant and Raw.. loved it..🤗😅😊
Samdish u r doing A grade job ! Please remember! Itna faadu conversion nai dekha aaj tak iss channel par ..one of the very best interviews.... Shoojit da ❤❤
Thanks Samdish for this uncut interview of one of d best sensitive smart and very successful talented directors of present time----eagerly waiting for his next films. ALL D BEST SOOJIT SARKAR. ❤
Thank you for this Samdish
Why you thanking it's his job and profession not doing charity
I love how Shoojit refers Irrfan in present tense.
😊
Irrfan is godly. I had exactly same lines as Shoojit, since the day he passed away. 😢
When you love someone, their passing away really does not make any difference ❤
Ofcourse his work is immortal.
I actually checked the video date to confirm if Im watching some old video
This is the director who gave us ...PINK, SARDAR UDHAM, VICKY DONOR, MADRAS CAFE, PIKU, OCTOBER... a collection to be proud of !!
20 minutes in it and i already know its my favorite interview.
I watched this comment exactly at 20th minute
Its bcz Shujit's energy and a smart interviewer
Chal juthe
I did not even notice that already 18 mins passed

the way samdish asks questions that satisfies his hunger to know more about things he plans to pursue in future, and things which might satisfy viewers who think alike, is so commendable. more commendable is how, we still continue to have a bunch of wholesome audience interested in watching interviews like these.
Deepika asking Shoojit if anyone shouts this much at parents is so wholesome 😂
True!😊
Uske baad samdish ne bola uska baap Prakash padukon hain vo thodi daantati hogi 😅
That's pure South Indian trait.

Agree I was in Amritsar for few months and it was disappointing to visit..
"Main to bol raha hun usko laa do wapas.
Usko leke aao. Leke aao yaar."
Shoojit da.... How you said these words... ❤ It was.... Can not express my .... Love you sir❤
Thank you Sandish for interviewing this great Director.
Irrfan Khan ❤❤❤❤
If we could do anything to bring him back ... Shoojit da, you are not alone.
we all had wet eyes there❤
He thanked the whole team....says a lot!
One of the biggest regret of our lives will be never getting to watch Irfaan on Unfiltered
Arey man that would had been legendary episode 😢
Oh man, now i am randomly sad at 3 AM
Yeh dimaag mei daalke melancholia laa diya. :(
Shoojit Sircar is so underrated.. just looking at the films he has made he should be given more airtime like this interview did. Simple yet great insight into his body of work in films.
Brought tears to my eyes when listening about THE IRFAN ... and am crying for umpteenth time for him!!
It gives goosebumps listening about Irrfan... And how emotionally he express himself ❤
One of the best interviews ever--I am glad that you got Shoojit Sarkar for your show, Samdish. Shares about making of "Piku" and Irrfan priceless!
Yaar, I miss Irfan even more now. And, Shoojit is one of my favourite directors (worldwide). Samdish bhai, this was something else. Thank you for this.

This man probably win Oscar if he is in Hollywood....I still can't get over "Sardar Udham" 🔥🔥
"Sardar Udham" could have won best foreign film if it went to academy.
@@nandansharma3923it did but it was deemed too much anti british
it was the best I have seen ..
oscars dont deserve such filmmakers, they only deserve shitty woke directors who pay to get nominated !
I think it is one of the best film Bollywood would ever have!
Thank you, Samdish! This was the perfect Bengali Adda - filled with thought-provoking discussions, technical analogies, and, of course, biryani. I absolutely loved it.
Shoojit Sircar ne pura masterclass de diya which even the best film schools won't be able to teach. Thank You Samdish for making this happen.
What a fantastic episode. Spontaneous and genuine. Irrfan Khan period was extremely emotional
Love the interview. Thanks Samdish. I remember meeting Soojit Sircar in Kolkata Airport Longe long back. He dropped his boarding pass and I happened to pick it up and giving it back to him. I realised later that he was Mr. Sircar!
The way he talks about irfan. It really made me cry. Plus great work by editing team putting the background music. Absolute soul wrenching stuff. 😭
1:10:22 When I'm gone, I hope someone remembers me the way Shoojit remembers Irrfan.
Sujit sarkar is one of the best minds of our country..look at the different genre's of his films..social comedy to top notch thriller,hats off sujit da..apni bangali r gorbo..desher gorbo..
I have never seen Sujit Sarkar such a light hearted in any of his interview.
October is a cult classic ! I genuinely love the movie. Feels like a deep connection. Its a masterpiece.
Forever grateful to Shoojit Sircar for bringing that roadie into cinema and giving us Ayushmann Khurrana❤️
Hi,amazed by your love for ayushmann
Another ayushmann fan
Shoojit Sircar, What a Man!🥹
Lots of Love and Respect from a proud Bong.
One of the best interview i have ever listen.......thanks samdish......shoojit k sare interview khoj khoj k dekhne pdenge.....what a man😍
Thanks Samdhish! One of my favorite interviews. Shoojit is a true gem. I can't imagine how he became a filmmaker without going to any film school.

God's work
Sujit sarkar is damn excited...Enthusiastic.. And very interesting person.
Kya insaan hai yeh aadmi. No wonder he got along with Irrfan so well.
Really enjoyed.... Just like you said in today's world where everyone's into reels and shorts even I watch videos at 2x or 3x speed, but today i watched the whole interview at normal speed taking time and like he said in the end maybe it's because we don't get to have good conversations like this...
Also, great fan sir ❤ thank you Samdish❤
1). Amazing director who understands that filmmaking comes with a responsibility and He has walked his talk by directing some amazing ones !
2) Long form content are still being consumed, like this interview which made me dekay cooking lunch... But sit and hear the amazing conversation!
3) Men with such clarity in morals and values in Art and Entertainment Industry is rare to be seen these days. So glad he exists and hoping he brings out his thoughts and portrayals in the coing years too! #Shoojit
Well done Samdhish ! It was an amazing interview ❤
Shoojit's energy is so postive and good
I love the ease combined with deep conviction of Shoojit. An intellectual who carries it all very lightly. The variety of his work is astounding. As he spoke about meaning of cinema, I was struck by a thought, that now, I look every evening for engaging / stimulating art work and not entertainment in the conventional terms. It could well be an interview, like this one. And Samdish, you are the best at interviews. Thanks
I love every word of Shoojit in this interview and now I know why I could easily watch any of his movies. My favourite director of this current time for sure.
What a great interview!! What an absolute great Soojit Sarkar is, but so underrated!!
One of the most Genuine conversation. Plz bring sujoy ghosh next time
I so wanted Irrfan in this interview with Samdhish. RIP. Miss him utterly whenever someone mentions him, I go into a state of sadness. Love you Irrfan❤
Sardar udham... The best historical movie of my life till now
In the years to come, these candid conversations by Samshish will be studied as case studies, providing insight into some of the greatest filmmakers and actors.
Many thanks for giving us one more delightful and meaningful content.
Thank you for this interview Samdish…..and thank you Shoojit Sarkar for the wonderful films and specially Sardar Udham
Brilliant story teller. For the first time Samdhish took a back seat. Loved this interview ❤
The interview I was badly waiting for
One of the best interviews in this channel, it's like Shoojit da unleashed, he is so comfortable and sharing all kinds of stories enthusiastically.
I respect this man like hell. Sujit sircar sir, thanks for existing!!
Watched the full interview with some pauses. One of the best interview by Samdish. The Irfan Khan part was so touchy, I couldn't resist my tears.
My favorite contemporary Hindi filmmaker... thank you for this!!
Man Samdish knows almost everything about each and every field. Some of those brilliant people who you can speak on anything. You don't just have basic idea of everything but also deep knowledge of that to ask, talk and question with person you are interviewing. Huge admirer of you bhaiya. Truly an inspiration. 💚
The best line in the interview said by Samdish is " wesa kaise bante hai?" (Wesa means like Irrfan Khan) ..
this was the the second conversation after your Kashmir stories that I watched and gulped word to word. Hats off to your efforts , you also seemed to be engrossed in a few of the sections .
"irrfan ko le aao"- what a beautiful line!!!!!
Absolutely loved every second of this interaction! Listening to Shoojit Sir was truly a treat-his openness, honesty, and candidness shine through. He effortlessly expresses emotions, politely sets boundaries, and shares a thought-provoking perspective on What is entertainment? Thank you for bringing us this wonderful video!
Piku man, I missed watching it n theatre, and now even if it releases I am miles away from India.
But Piku is still one my top 5 movies, damn I never get bored of watching that movie, never ever. I have already watched it more than 10 times but still feels like I am watching it for the first time.
I am a film scholar from Bangladesh living in the USA. It was a great conversation. It was in depth and unearthed Sirkar's thoughts regarding cinema and his style of filmmaking. I got emotional the way he remembered the great Irrfan.
I have watched this full conversation without skipping to just listen Shoojit Sircar
Here after watching the trailer of "I want to talk". I love his direction. The kind of movies he has directed are just pure love. Chaotic yet peaceful. Not much faaltu ka shor about his direction. Which is okay. Jisko jo dekhna hai dekho warna niklo.
These close-up shots make the interview feel more intimate. Nice addition i'd say.
i am half way and this interview is going to be my fav now ...before this it was the manoj pahwa one ...best ..love it ..the mother story , elephant story and everything else ....love it...ok going back to watching the remaining half...
Loved listening to him talking about Irrfan❤
socha tha 10-15 min dekh lu... but the conversations were so natural..... pata h nhi laga kab khatam ho gaya. thank you samdish . keep doing such videos
Camera work is superb in the beginning of video which depicts Kolkata ❤😊
What a great chat... Love from Kolkata. One of the finest directors of Indian cinema who till date never made a bad film.
Woodland is giving me the "wood".... their shoes are too good. I can't resist myself when I'm around a pair of Woodland shoes. :)
I loved this interview, Thanks Samdish for showing us this gem of a person, Shoojit Sarkar. Love & good health. Rab rakha.
Thank you for bringing him 😊🫶🏻
Oh! I was just scrolling through Instagram a few days back and I just saw a clip of this interview where he says ki yaar irfaan k bina nhi hoo paega ... Then I searched it and watched it. It was kind of soothing. It was easy to interpret even for an outsider. So yeah, well, one of the most amazing conversations❣️ wishing you more love and power.
Why do I feel that his kind of cinema can shape our democracy in a large way!?
One of the best interviews I’ve watched… loved how genuine director he is❤ that honesty and simplicity is shown in his films. Thankyou Samdhish!
One of the best episodes on this channel❤
