I'm only halfway through and this is already the most informative of all filmperson's interviews I've ever seen. This gives so much insight into what really goes behind film promotions for international awards and how only making a brilliant film will never be enough. It forces you to question: is it all even worth it?
it's right time unite and put under same place indian cinema.there is no south and North cinema simple difference is language.thanks to team brings a platform showcase what's happening in indian cinema every week.thank you
hello mister or miss...I'm not paranoid may be you are in that stage...i wish a single platform to showcase talents at one place thats it. It was my opinion and Thanksgiving to team.if you not under stand shut your mouth .
Thanks Baradwaj for this interview. Filmmaker Vetri Maaran explained the process of reaching the Oscars quite well. And yes the culture which draws west to such movies. Have no knowledge of the 4 languages from the South. The explanation on sound mixing for the Oscars is notable. Got a new headphone last weekend and that was useful today.
Film Companion has become my one-stop-channel for understanding and keeping abreast with the world of Indian Cinema!!! Kudos and more success to the platform!
I've been wanting to request FC to focus on Tamil movies for a while now as so many unique movies are being rolled out from Tamil cinema. And who else could be a better choice for this initiative than Baradwaj Rangan? Thank you so much for kick-starting this with Vetri Maaran. 'Visaaranai' is one of the films I venerate the most. I hope to see Kamal Haasan soon here. Thanks again for FC South! :)
Film Companion Thats awesome! Would you take viewer questions? Also, we might have to come with "simple english" subtitles ☺. And, get us our Mani Ratnam pls pls.☺
absolutely thrilled over this! over the years of watching impressive cinema from the southern film industries, I always felt left out due to lack of my understanding of the regional language hence could never understand the interviews . I just want to give my best wishes to the team.Kindly bring regional movie reviews regularly too.BTW loved this interview with Veterinarian sir.
Vetrimaran's vada chennai is terrific. His perception of the Oscar is exactly right. He has full potential to make India proud by winning Oscar! Kollywood is becoming more promising ground.. Hats off!
Arshad Mohammed We don’t have to see The Oscar as yard stick for our craft. We get just 2 or 3 slots for best foreign movie category which means they are primarily for American movies. I’d rather say we should have something similar in our country too. National awards lately have been become a joke now.
Great and commendable effort by FC. Thoroughly enjoyed Vetrimaran's clear and informative interview. He is a ace film maker and deserves many more laurels in the future.
Finally, FC hits the south note! BR is a great choice! Glad the truth about "more wine, more dine fetch more Oscars" finally came out in Indian Media. ☺
Who better than Baradwaj Rangan to give the most unbiased, real, and intelligent outlook in South Indian movies to people who don't know much about it. Film Companion, take a bow.
OMG! now we are competing in the international market, I guess our Tamil filmakers should be a good marketing and PR manager more than a film director I guess :-D Werner Herzog for your screening and the conversations you have had is in itself an OSCAR I should say!
It will be great exposure for films to reach more audience.It may also help lots of good movies which previously didn't get recognition, keep up your great work team FC
Extremely happy that Film companion has taken this step to create a space for South Indian films! I hope it breaks the typical stereotypes around sound indian films and bring light to some amazing work done down south. p.s. Soo Excited to see rangan bharadwaj in your team! 👌👌
Nice. Hope bharadwaj becomes more pleasant when he asks questions. He becomes visibly stiff and serious now. Also, please stop reading the *whole* questions from the cards !!

It does, doesn't it? There's a dark side to the Oscar story, and we are happy Vetri Maaran spoke to us about it.

Bharadwaj Rangan.. woohoo!!! Bringing in southern movies.. great great initiative Film Companion! Your heart is so very in the right place! Kudos :)

it's right time unite and put under same place indian cinema.there is no south and North cinema simple difference is language.thanks to team brings a platform showcase what's happening in indian cinema every week.thank you

Vetrimaaran is a pure genius :)
we should be lucky we have someone like him
Wat a great video.. It is rare to see video with such unique content.. Loved to understand the working of the Oscars.
Thanks Baradwaj for this interview. Filmmaker Vetri Maaran explained the process of reaching the Oscars quite well. And yes the culture which draws west to such movies. Have no knowledge of the 4 languages from the South. The explanation on sound mixing for the Oscars is notable. Got a new headphone last weekend and that was useful today.
Thanks for watching!
Glad you liked it.

vetrimaaran looks like a villager but his english is topnotch
Never judge a book by it's cover.
So Baradwaj Rangan quit The Hindu? sigh, there goes my childhood. Thank you for bringing him to cover south Indian movies, Film companion.
That was a great space, but this is interesting too. Hope you continue to follow my work here.
-- Baradwaj
The Best Film Companion Content...! so much Content for Writers and Film makers!!! Cheers on concentrating on South Films.
Glad you liked it Vivix!

Anjali should have won the academy award. It is an international subject.
Bardwaj Rangan and regional cinema, all the more reasons to love film companion.
Yes! Thanks.
YES! Way to go, FC! So happy to see you bring regional cinema to a wider audience :)
Most welcome!
Vetrimaran's vada chennai is terrific. His perception of the Oscar is exactly right. He has full potential to make India proud by winning Oscar! Kollywood is becoming more promising ground.. Hats off!
Now I can understand how Hey Ram missied out.....poor kamalhasan ...,lacking marketing skills as always.
The Oscars just lost a lot of shine, for me!
Arshad Mohammed We don’t have to see The Oscar as yard stick for our craft. We get just 2 or 3 slots for best foreign movie category which means they are primarily for American movies.
I’d rather say we should have something similar in our country too. National awards lately have been become a joke now.
it has its own value
@@sln7839 yeah, as much as some mediocre ones in every country, i realised.
Great and commendable effort by FC. Thoroughly enjoyed Vetrimaran's clear and informative interview. He is a ace film maker and deserves many more laurels in the future.
Thanks!
Great initiative
But where do we access movies we get interested in after watching? Applies to the Marathi part as well
Amazing Interview! Thanks FC and Baradwaj Sir for this!

Yo yo yo Film Companion, raising standards and how!
Thankyou for this 😻

I'm willing to pay
Felix Raja thanks a lot
Those to websites only for Tamil movies...
Madhu Sudhanan you have hotstar for Telugu movies and yuppflix too
Ok, see i mentioned abt other 2 websites (Herotalkies and tentkotta) these websites only for Tamil movies,u referred him for south indian movies .....
no subtitles on hotstar
Thank you
vetrimaran! wow ! what an unassuming guy but the kind of information and knowledge he shared was mind blowing!lovely lovely lovely
5:57 noteworthy
Ay I've used the music from the first minute in my short film... XD
my only grouse is the tacky set. why can't it be sophisticated and elegant like anupama s
Noted!

Tamil la conversation iruntha innum better a irukum
Anyone watching in 2024??

Br make-up 😂😂😂😂
Oscar and its propaganda looks like a waste of time. No wonder ordinary cliched movies like Lala Land won.
what the hell? la la land is a brilliant film. the story isn't the film only. Read about what Indian critics has to say about La La Land.
it's more like bribing to get into 'OSCAR' such as shame
Awesome,very informatics interview .good to see both genius sit and communicate
