What we need next is BR interviewing Mammootty and a detailed discussion on his career journey and current phase.
Oh God, yes. This channel would have peaked there.
Mamotty is scared to converse in English . He lacks confidence
@@martinsam8787 The one who interviewed by BBC you calling scared 😅
@@martinsam8787Remember Mohanlal talking to a reporter at the time of CCL? 😂😂😂😂 Bruh..
@@martinsam8787 Hey, I've seen you venting frustration and jealousy wherever Mammootty is mentioned. Do you get paid for this or something?
Btw... Mammootty might be the only actor from Malayalam who has been interviewed by BBC. That too by Karan Thapar. Kids may not know.
Rahul Sadasivan is clearly a rare talent. Can't wait for his next work!!
Rahul Sadasivan is a Legend-in-making. He is already in the league of contemporary greats like Jordan Peele.
Don't think so, he is more like Ari Aster style in making.. hereditary x Boothakalam
On a thematic review, Aster, Jordan Peele are exploring the same path in their own ways. They are breaking the existing patterns, rhythms, and styles of the horror genre and bringing in nuances to the thematic exploration of the movies. They are not your old school horror stuff but have a much more complicated and multi layered narrative structure. That way all three - Ari, Jordan, Rahul - belong to the same league.
@@sunderlal07what's your favorite horror film of all time
I don’t know about that , but whenever i see his films all i can see are from what films he has taken references from , Bhoothakalam was something new for malayalam audiences for sure but it was like watching “the babadook through the eyes of hereditary’s dop. Bramayugam is another thematic ripoff of “the lighthouse” set in kerala with an extra character it was sort of evident in the trailer itself.
But anyway he is still an echo hasn’t found his artistic voice yet , he is in the right path of finding it.
The point i am saying is that it’s okay to take references but , when you watch a film the reference thing shouldn’t stand out , this is just my opinion. He is a malayali robert eggers.
Boothakalam is really underrated... A horror movie without which grapples the viewer slowly without any loud sounds like regular horror movies
His fluency 👍🏻💎
He graduated from London Film Academy.
He is an extremely good storyteller ...
@@jjjDMyes.. Mammookka's recent script selection is all about how the director gonna impress him by narrating story therefore, he must be a good story teller, that was the rule.
One of the best director recent time 💯 What a film He made Bramayugam ❤️💎
So clear on his words and vision!
Thank you Rahul for extracting such a great performance from Mammootty. Kodumon Potti will be numbered among the all time memorable characters from him. Filmmakers like you makes this phase of his career meaningful! 🤎
Superb interview... hats off to his knowledge of film making and his homework....there is more depth in the film than what Rahul is talking about... mesmerising film...the best creative movie that I have ever seen.
What Rahul Sadasivan mentions at 42:51 completely changes the meaning of Kodumon Potti's dialogue at the interval point, "You don't have the permission to leave"! Mind = Blown.
not only the dialogs ; its presentation , dialects and sound modulation are superb and bgm too.
This guy is simply brilliant. Looking forward to his next work.
Describing Rahul as an extraordinary and rare talent wouldn't be an overstatement. . His efforts truly mirror the meticulous dedication poured into the film, emphasizing the profound understanding he possesses for the character, the storyline, and the extensive research involved. The craft displayed is nothing short of amazing. Truly, hats off to him
It would not be an overstatement if someone says that Rahul's movies have easily surpassed those from the West.
Sss😂😂. Rahul > Tarantino
@@Oldvalyriaa yes indeed
Among all the new wave Malayalam directors,this guy is an auteur level dude.
Mammookka❤❤❤
The goat 💎
Cow not Goat 😅

@@Xavier-xe7lp Okay Ligament less Ikkachi fen boy! 🤣
Loved the interview; loved Rahul's clarity of thought & how he expresses it. No wonder he was able to make such a masterpiece that totally goes against the grain of any movie out there. Kudos to him & his team; look forward to seeing more of his work.
Thank you so much BR for doing this interview with the director Rahul Sadasivan. This interview helped me understand certain logic about some scenes in this movie.
I'm sure Rahul Sadasivan is going to be a top director in coming years as he is the new face of Malayalam film industry.
If possible, kindly do an interview with a legendary actor Mammootty specifically for his role in Bramayugam movie and also discuss how he has been selecting scripts in last 2-3 years and what next can we expect from him 🙂
Option of Black & White was definitely the usp of this innovative movie.. Rahul must be congratulated for walking that path of Steven Spielberg who did 95% Schindler s List in B&W.. Very very happy to see a committed director confident about his own medium of story telling.. All the best..( If Mr Rahul could have brought with him some of the artistic sketches he made for the movie..Love to see those too..)
Happy to know he is my junior in the school. Happy to see the school
is bringing multiple movie directors. Roby and Rahul
Loved both of his work. Thanks baradwaj rangan sir for bringing him.
Please do an interview with Mammookka❤️👀
ഇത് എന്റെയും നിന്റെയും പ്രശ്നമല്ല.,
ഇത് ഭ്രമയുഗമാണ്...
കലിയുഗത്തിന്റെ അപഭ്രമ്ശം..!! 🌗
It was the one I was waiting for. True cinephiles. They talk cinema only. Loved it.
Rahul Sadasivan has so much clarity in what he needs from his movies and how he wants to showcase it to the audience. Such crisp clarity is something you miss in today's directors. I am sure he is going to make it super big in Indian Film Industry! Good to see a support being backed by a star like Mammootty. Long way to go Rahul! Happy that BR could make this conversation so interesting,
#Mammootty for Oscars!
Unlike everyone telling that he is into method acting, he is not. He is epitomising Nouveau Shamanic acting style. He is living it.
It is so fascinating for me that a legend like Satyajit ray the greatest filmmaker, is the source of inspiration for so many of today's directors. A director from the Malayalam movie industry says that Satyajit ray is my inspiration and makes such good films but here is a Bengali movie industry where these legends like Ray, ghattak born and did their work that Bengali movie industry is in gutter right now it is shameful today Bengali cinema is almost finished perhaps it is one of the oldest movie industry along with Tamil, Hindi movie industry but just look wat happened to it
It's sad 😔
i personally believe its not dead , Q is an actual teastment to that... i feel bengali film makers and producers are just too risk averse....the rigidity is a cultural thing i guess
@@danCK1990 it is not a cultural thing because the legends I have named made some of the movies in that era is far ahead of so many movies made even today
The biggest problem is today's Bengali movie industry is filled with lethargic, chest thumping people and that mentality can never grow, mediocrity is the new definition there and again one ultimate fact is which is also the excuse shield for them is budget problem but the kind of quality they are producing who will be interested in Bengali cinema? No one
Yes it is not dead but it will be
Satyajith ray have more fans in Kerala ,may be u never know about tht, we never had that language barriers while it comes to cinema ❤
@@vineeth6526 I agree not only to Kerala satyajit ray has a fan following around the world but my only question is why the industry where satyajit ray belongs is in that bad stage where other industries within India is flourishing like anything
@@prodoshmukherjee8957 we donno know about future. There are certain situations evn mollywood also faced this while all other woods are releasing thyre bigbudget .
Brilliant interview thank you Bardwaj sir to put this out …we got a great director to look out for …🔥🔥🔥🔥
The guts to do it in B/W when there is IMAX to watch it in beautiful colors. And after all this to go past 50Cr with Mammotty🔥🔥
Yes agree to the last point. Getting a 50 crore with Mammotty is indeed a herculian task 😂
@@srk915 for B/W movie its a big thing which so called others stars wouldn't dare to attempt
Is that why Mohanlal is struggling now???@@srk915
Wish it came in Imax. Still remember Oppenheimer in Imax
One difference between Malayalam film industry and other industries that depends on spectacle based movies (that are the focus) is the encouragement of filmmakers like Rahul. I notice the sensibilities and approach to cinema is also different. Also the most important thing is cinema has to evolve and new filmmakers need more chances. Cinema now has become more predictable but thanks to movies like Bramayugham, Manjummel Boys and Premalu for instance for showing the audience to accept writers not superstars.
This is one director who is going to transcend languages. He is going places.
I was eagerly waiting for this video after watching the movie
Thank you so much for the interview..i was waiting for this interview
We want Mammooty’s interview from Baradwaj !!
Rahul Sathasivan is the Rahul Sathsivan of malayalam cinema definitely. But I would like to say that he is the Ari Aster of Malayalam cinema or the Indian cinema. 👏🏼👏🏼
Baddy waiting for Manjummel Boys review from you ✋️
The cook is my fav character.. he did a brilliant job
My God, I'm now a fulltime fan of Rahul Sadasivan and if he continues in this vein, I'll watch every creation of his. He is a really fine filmmaker and watching 'Bramayugam' cemented this - the sensibility one needs to have to direct a serious horror movie - check, the knowledge to weave a beautiful movie with horror elements from everyday situations - check, the ability to create believable characters that don't do stupid stuff just to advance the plot - check, a nice way of balancing the supernatural and the material world to keep the audience hooked - check, having a healthy mix of perfectly legit jumpscare moments and those creepy subtextual moments to create dread in the viewer - check, having a very refined sense of music and cinematography to create that feeling of dread and hopelessness that's so crucial in a horror movie - check. He is a full package that should be talked about more.
Now this is a director to celebrate and watch out for who has given Indian horror worth celebrating about after Ram Gopal Verma. Being a horror film addict, I was absolutely ashamed and used to despair of Indian horror movies compared to Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and English movies, but we now have someone that can take Indian horror to a global level, and even if not that, at least we have someone who doesn't reduce horror to horror-comedy and showing ridiculous ghost faces and flying chairs and beds because of a lack of ability. I don't understand why there are so many low IQ morons celebrating the absolutely mediocre lokesh kanagarak (stupidly called loki, athennada loki? loka thana irukkanum?) when we have a person of this ability who can create such a beautiful piece of art in a genre that is really one of the hardest in filmmaking along with comedy.
Thanks for this interview - we do have a budding Indian Flanagan taking shape and I can't wait for his next horror movie.
Watch anandhabadram , it’s a diffrnt mal movie
@@vineeth6526 thanks :) I always appreciate Malayali movie recommendations. I know even the average ones will be leagues ahead of other language movies.
@@sriram1729 thanks for that appreciation , do watch anadhabhadram,,,it’s a movie league ahead ,
did ya watch it?
@@sriram1729
You can celebrate a director without decrying and insulting the work another genre great. Loki's films have taken action filmmaking in India to a new level as Rahul has done for horror. It takes an immense amount of skill and talent to shoot any action scene but to have it tie into the emotional arcs and be exciting to watch is something to be lauded.
I really loved the blocking techniques too, the intro of mammootty was a perfectly made scene blocking wise which actually explained the whole story the cook in one side mammootty walking with the camera placed behind him as if he is swallowing devan, then eventually the satan takes devan's body and the room closing down scene towards the end was brilliant as it kinda made the character suffocate (claustrophobia kinda thing) as the character has already been confined in a definite space.. and many many more, tbh this movie is just pure cinema, a masterclass.
Chaathan, not satan/devil. Not an evil thing by itself, more like a spirit with certain powers. Still worshipped as demi-gods of sorts by some( if they are pleased by your rituals,they sometimes do your bidding,etc)
Such great clarity and prep! Kudos.
Amazing man he is. Thanks for doing this Deep dive!
Rahul is our upcoming Nolan 🙌🏻
I had the same thought too!!!
Pure Cinematic Conversation. Enjoyed the Movie!!
He will be an asset to malayalam industry
Loved listening to the discussions you guys had about film making and ideas.
Loved that Rahul chose to do the entire film in B&W. It definitely set the tone (pun not intended).
Also people who haven't watched Bhoothakaalam are missing out on how horror movies are to be done.
Agree! Bhoothakaalam is the real treat! Not this half baked product called Bramayugam!
@@srk915 which is why he's here for Bramayugam. It aint your cup of tea. 😂👏🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣@@srk915 A10 fan's frustration....
@@srk915 Hi Renjith Anna... 🥹
@@Marco-p9k5c Lol. Dont ask for your Dad here 🤣
Awesome ! Sad the conversation had to end 😃
Waiting for this interview to happen. BR asked all questions wat i have asked in my mind.
Great interview. Almost fanboyish in some instances, looks like you really loved the movie - a breath of fresh air among the other run of the mill movies. Wished you had talked a little bit about the lore of the movie - Kerala has a rich folklore history of yakshis and mantravaadis - about what research he did around this and how he saw the mana pictured. Thanks and looking forward to your next!
I watched bramayugam last night. Such a outstanding movie. Kudos to the entire team
It's been a week since I watched this masterpiece and I am still under Kudumon Pottis spell! Story,direction,acting........Hollywood ain't seen nothing like this !! 👏👏👏 💯
Can't wait for his next
Missed to delve deep in sound mixing and music. BR most of the times misses to discuss the effort involved by music director and how the director extract the music.
Director Rahul Sadasivan has lots of close resemblance with how Prithiviraj gives interviews... the way he talks, tone, and even bit accent..
Mammokka ❤❤
Please do an interview with Mammooka 🙏
BR sir plz we need one long session with mamootty sir plz❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. This is the way real movie interviews should be held.
One thing I could understand is that even the director himself can't answer or explain the logical questions even though he wrote it .
Am I the only one who loved the first half more than the second?
I want to see mamookka and br interview❤❤
People if you haven’t watched Bramayugam, you have missed something great of an art in your life. More so, if you missed it in theatres.
bramayugam super movie megastar mamootty ❤
not even a word about bgm
45:55 rather than the 'anklet barrier stuff', I would like to believe that as the cook is in the 'blood line', he chants mantras as a barrier from chaathan's snooping power. That's why he's reluctant to drink.
Part where Potti asks thevan about the conversations with cook (shows chaathan is confused over cook) and then leads to a clash between thevan & cook shows the cunningness of chaathan to crack facts about cook.
Hah...lots of interpretations !
Thats why he didnt show the explanation in the movie...its up for interpretation...the audience can come to that conclusion...I think its better that way...not everything needs to be perfectly explained...this is more fun...
Absolutely
❤ good interview
Brahmayugam as an intellectual film, shows the relationship in India between the "all powerful" brahmin who controls everything related to his place, the nair and dalit who fight each other to impress the brahmin, The brahmins with all his powers, does nt do anything to improve the quality of life of the others, since they may otherwise run away. Purely caste film
Good observation
It felt like apocalypto movie when they showed the Portugese soldiers
Its a layered movie, with a brilliant craftsmanship and sound design was top notch...Movie interleaves the concept of a folklore and how power and freedom conquer everything.. each shot was symbolic of the concept...
If you expect it to be commercial, mass entertaining movie, may be it can be boring for those kind. If you really are interested in story telling, appreciates real crux of art, critically view the interlayer of the film, you gonna appreciate it..there is lot of difference between just a movie and a masterpiece.
Mammokka👍❤️❤️❤️👍
Please do an interview with Mammootty !!
The best of best indian movie after 2000🔥#bramayugam
One interview with mammootty please..
Ultimate 👌
Baddy is like a child getting to ask questions to his idol
Petition for a Face to face Interview of Mammookka with BR ❤️🔥
Baddy plz review manjummel boys
Blown away by bramayugam's making but honestly I felt bhootakaalam had more scary moments. Nevertheless have become a fan of Rahul sadasivan !!
However I still have a few lingering questions about a few things in bramayugam that I didn't quite get.
1. If the chathan has the ability to read through people, why was the cook never identified as a tantric? If it was able to kill everyone and imprison kodumon potti, it would have been able to recognize sorcerers right?
2. Why did the chathan still remain in the disguise of kodumon potti? Why didn't it get into thevan's body as soon as he entered the house and the real kodumon potti died ?
Also redrain ❤
Bhoothakaalam was awesome.....
This year's roundtable must include chidambaram nd rahul sadasivan
Ari Aster, Rahul sadasivan, Ashwin Saravanan, Robert eggers ❤
super movie
❤🔥
Beautiful❤❤❤
@galattaplus - You should consider asking any of the industry guys as to "why isn't there a formal, organized setup to produce movies?" unlike other business, where there are VCs for start ups, constuction companies for buildings etc there isnt a single way that makes it easy or approachable for new comers to make films or atleast be heard. The only way you can make it happen is through contacts and not everyone is fortunate to make connections.
BR please bring in mammookka for a 2 hr movie podcast.
Still why talents from the southern part of India are ignored in the national level.. It is a common knowlwdge that mollywood is far above in quality and crispiness in story telling and character presentation as compared to bollywood ot any otr films. In reality, mollywood presents word class talents and films which goes unnoticed or ignored
nice_interview...
