I wish there'd be Anvita Dutt and Zoya Akhtar. They have v few interviews.
Because they are busy making movies
varun sir, your choice of words to depict your thoughts is so beautiful that i haven’t ever seen someone doing it so nicely . We are lucky to have people like you in our hindi cinema. ✨❤
Padhe likhe logon ki padhi likhi baatein, unka samvaad, bahut anand laata hai. Anekaanek dhanyawaad iss pehel ke liye. Bus badhte chalein. 🙏
Please do a conversation with Jaideep Sahni , Shimit Amin or Dibakar Banerjee...
Came here after Sucharita Tyagi's recommendation. About to binge all four episodes now. 👍
Same, watched the other 3 today
This show was on my list but she pushed me to watch it now
Sucharita told me to come here and i am happy i came here
Everything Shonali Bose said is so touching. Being a Miranda student myself...I can see the Miranda in her so vividly. The three years of my life that shaped my personality and activism so deeply.
I think this is probably the best talk show in India right now. Keep up the good work, Varun & Team! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
agreed.
Loved the explanation about the father in Margherita with A Straw. I think its important to show all sides of people, regardless of their gender, class, religion or background. Especially ones which aren't highlighted as much on screen like the example of sensitive men. Our lives affect the kind of media that's created and our media affects the kind of lives we live, and for people who are mostly limited to a small number of people, geography and community, this new media can often be the only way of seeing more about the world and the various sorts of personalities living here.
Wow this guy has earned so much respect... Every guest has to mention how comfortable or delighted they are to do this with him...
I have started looking up to every person named 'Varun' coz of this guy...
Ps: never disappointed by Varuns of the/my world yet... 🤞
Wish the episode was a little longer
Delighted to listen to such thoughts and opinions.
I would have added a few more questions to Shonali:
1. What a progressive man looks like in her cinematic world?
2. How can cinema be more inclusive as far as Hindi Film Industry is concerned?
3. How she keeps her detached while writing and directing the personal films she has made till now?
Hindi cinema has to be more inclusive and takes more chances. But to be fair the South also has nepotism, in fact more than Hindi cinema.
Varun it is so wonderful to see you again I am such a big fan of everything Varun. I keep looking for your stand up shows and must have watched all several times over . We need evolved people like you waking up the rest of the its so much more convenient to keep quiet crowd. Misogyny in India is at an all time high . Women are not even 2 nd class citizens and uf they are attractive independent and intelligent they are hated more by both genders. Hearing Shonali confirmed what we experience almost every single day. Please keep the wonderful work up , you have no idea how loved and respected you are and how much we look forward to everything Varun .
what a beautiful conversation, took me back to my film critique classroom at DU!
The acceptance of violence and non acceptance of affection is very deep rooted. We grow up learning it from our parents… if ok for dad to hit mom or yell at her in front of kids but its a big taboo to show any kind of affection.
A great guest offering even greater perspectives. ++ VG's 1 minute after 22:15 is the most powerful bit imo.
She is wonderful women and human being, looking forward to watch many films of her
Shonali Bose is brilliant! May she continue to be awesome ❤
Varun sir you are really doing good work mere jaise aspirant filmmaker ke liye aapke interview se kaafi sikhne ko milta hai. jald hi imtiaz sir aur anurag sir hansal sir in sabko bhi bulaye especially vishal sir
I had not seen any of her films but so impressed listening to her ..would definitely watch Amu to start with.. Varun Grover definitely is one of my favourite anchors/ orators/ presenters in India today (in addition to Chandril Bhattacharya)
When she said she was very raw with showing the violence of genocide and how anesthesized we are against it hit me hard. Cz we in india have completely stigmatized public displays of affection but completely normalised violence at every level of society.
Varun, your introduction to the video was brilliant 👏🏽
Hi Varun - Thanks for stating this show. much needed one to especially bring writers and director, the actual parent of the story, to the fore front. Your theme has mostly been around violence and women depiction. I hope to cover more topics too, ranging from character motives and evolution etc.
There were two questions you asked and I wanted to share my thoughts, not that you asked though 😂
1. Depiction of violence, do we really need to show it - I agree with Shonali that we might not - because the terror of it is not what I feel when I see a man on fire but actually makes more sense when it becomes what a child feel when she see her father on fire. The terror or beauty of a concept always gets materialised by their human experience. Of course that will mean we will need brilliant actor and directors but that would be an actual ode to the art of film making. For example refer to last 10 mins of "Potrait of a woman on fire" for context.
2. If there were woman who made earlier films things would have been different, I don't think so. There were people in 70s 80s 90s who were making sensitive and thought provoking work but we're termed as art films. It usually economics which drives the demand. If thinkers of a generation were given the center stage our stories would be very different. For context take Bengali Cinema and all the names Shonali talked about or Japanese Anime.
Looking forward to your thoughts, if not that then great content. All the best!
Yes it's very comfortably accepted violence in public places rather loving ,hugging kissing each other even at home we don't change channel during a violent scene but in an intimate scene. Loving makes us so uncomfortable but violence doesn't n that is the reason people killed in broad daylight on very petty issue of roadrage as spectators didn't bothered to intervene at the sametime young couples enjoying their private space are harrased in the name of moral policing even if they are in a private closed room they are pulled out n paraded on camera...hence people like modi is ruling
Hi Varun Sir. Its so inspiring to see you discuss about violence and intimacy on screen with brilliant minds. It would be great if you could bring on board Geethu Mohandas who has dealt with these themes in the movie 'Moothon'.
I genuinely appreciate this show so much! It's high time we discuss the casual sexism in the industry. Be it the lyrics, the stories, the involvement of women behind the scenes there are so many problems that need to be addressed. Absolutely agree with Shonali ma'am her on pov regarding depiction of rape or extreme violence. Great questions as always!
Loving this series from the beginning !
Loved this episode so much!! Binged all the episodes while I was Traveling recently! This was my favorite episode so far! Shonali’s background, mind and thought process is such a treat to listen to!! Thank you for bringing in such beautiful artists to the table! I would love for someone to interview you in this series! 😊Can’t wait for the next episode!! ❤️
Varun, please bring Vetrimaaran, Nagraj Majule, Mari Selvaraj, Pa Ranjith, Neeraj Ghaywan, Konkana, Mira Nair, Rohena Gera
Absolutely great interview with lots of learning and knowledge
0:45 wtf wrong fact told with so much confidence
Love this conversations. Excited for further guests and episodes in the series
This was such a brilliant intellectual conversation.
Patriarchy and men's vested interest in making sure it stays intact.True across classes and surnames, wish they would call each other out instead of constantly performing their wokeness and really ask themselves if they would criticize/scrutinize/obsess over/have such a massive reaction to/vilify/shame this woman for xyz if she were a man I knew, would I EVEN bother to think about xyz and if they themselves or their friends have done xyz quite often themselves and never let it bog them down. Have they ever cared about the women's feelings who nurtured them and always cheered them on. Did they feel good or did they just become insecure jerks,cornered and bullied women who they felt 'needed humbling' in a hundred indirect ways just because they were good and dared to dream. Iss sab look I'm such a good sweet boy naatak ka kya fayda when you stay mum about the misogynists around you and the misogyny in yourself.
beautiful!
Wow brilliant capture of interesting interviews
Loved the conversation!
This was my favourite ❤️
Varun why you stopped doing the Show...??
Love this
Nandita Das and Neeraj Ghaywan next!
Is 'Farsh pe khade khade' from Monica O my Darling your song @Varungrover? It is the most amazing song I have heard in a while .....lyrics update kardo kahi
Plz invite *Anvita dutt*
i wished it went longer than that...
loved it 😊
No one asked but the song Toh Chalun from Border sounds like it was written by you idk why.
Please call sajid khan and discuss me too movement
Sir please do ATD tour on upcoming elections 🙏
You should do one with kunal kamra
14:40...episode 9 of andor
God knows where that book pulls it data from but around the world mostly men drive and died in car crashes. So is the case in heart attack. So it's market force which makes it default to be much talked about things and designed to serve it's larger customer base.
Kabuliwala Bimal Ray !!!!!
Varun Grover got married?
Varun, can you get rid of that lazy drawl when you speak? A little more assertive and confident perhaps? Also referencing the clips that are being discussed will help set context. Not everyone watching this video has seen the movies being discussed.
वरुण भैय्या की एक्टिंग की न्यूज सुनके वही वाली फीलिंग आ रही थी जैसी दीपिका के व्हाट्सएप देख कर आई थी जबकि वो हर बार no drinking,no smoking,i am very proper lady-like and judgmental टाइप बातें करती थीं। ये क्या हो रहा है वाली feeling। दुनिया ही बदल गई types।😅
Deke apne jatayu ko mythological character bola tha,app praveen mohan videos dekhe apko sanatan dharm ki reality pata chalega app jarur deke
You were beter doing standup
Mardon se Itni problem hain toh khud mahila ban jao na.
Wow such a progressive thought.. Kudos to you 'man'
@@uskumarmate😂😂
Bhaisaab, problem Mardon se nehi hay, that is, iss discussion mein ekbaar bhi nehi bola gaya hay, problem hay, aap, hum aur sab iss duniya mein jo vagina ke through aye hay, uss vaginawali ko izzat nehi dene mein.
Mahila ban jana to acchi baat hay, naya kisiko janam de sakenge.
