Tarantino and VVC are primarily artists and it’s their individual artistic sensibilities that attract attention from different cohorts around the world. Not which country they’re from. Simply crafting narratives when there isn’t any.
The happiness is clear in this conversation which is possible only when two people who truly understand cinema (both as a craft and as an art) can read each other.
Probably the most profound interview of BR. Absolute passion and positivity oozing out of my screen. No wonder with a heart like VVC can make such movies. This is art and this is what we live and love for. Thanks again BR.
12th fail deserved more love in the theaters, but it is already the most watched film in 2023 on hotstart within 3 days of its ott release. I hope this becomes India's official entry to oscars this time.
Malayalam interviewers should learn from this person..how to prepare interview..this is an absolute study class.its not about views its quality that matters and the defintion is Baradwaj rangan
It's such a surreal feeling to see a filmmaker be so passionate about what he is doing. Very inspirational and moving stuff. I could see where the film came from just like how he said - from himself.
Thank You! VVC for your wisdom and I watched the movie and interview on New year and I think this is a sign which screams Year of #restart to me. This is one of the century’s greatest interview. To every honest, self-conscious and arrogant person who search for excellence. And baddy❤ P.S. Can you please do 3 hour long form interview. I want to hear this gentleman’s story and his search for excellence.
LOL! Dont worry ! He can go for 3 days ! one thing VVC likes is talk about himself ! Dig up some old interviews from his 1942 or kareeb days if you can . If not for Raju hirani guy would have been bankrupt by no w. Raju makes loads of money for him and then he burns it on stuff no one watches. His first hit in 44 years !
Dear Baradwaj Rangan, how many times do you watch a movie (especially12th fail), for you to note down everything about each and every scene - dialogues, bgm, silence, acting, expressions, makeup, camera shots, etc. etc... 🤔
As much as the guest is great , a well deserved mention to the interviewer, who mirrors the guest’s knowledge and stir enthusiasm. Maddy if your reading, ur responsible for future film makers . Thank you!
Tears were just dripping from my eyes at several points during this movie.. It's hits so hard .. When he passes finally n drops down like one generally wud do when one has failed .... Or when he talks to his father at aata chakki place.. N so many more.. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
3:57 Oh my god Since the time I watched this film i raved about this fact to everyone that the music was pather pachali and Chopra sir incorporated it in such a beautiful manner!! Thank you!
G.O.A.T Interview. Sheer pleasure to watch this incredible conversation between two people who understand cinema. So much learning! And the way they acknowledge each other, beautiful! Thank you, BR and VVC.
Omg, Mr V V Chopra is on another level. The “Pather Panchali” discussion struck me the most. Excellence is not a target , it’s the pursuit. Mr Chopra embodies it. Thx for bringing him in
One of the wholesome, genuine, pure,honest which stirs some chords, nostalgic due to passion u see on interview, it really shows VC has left himself in every film he made, Thank you BR for amazing interview, taking home some super insights like this really made me think my whole perspective on life of chasing something, when watching , be damn honest without conflict in mind, probably be proud of it, no need to be humble all the time if you are true to yourself and work,not answerable to anyone just to satisfy your own curiosity and passion!! ❤❤
Thanks, BR for an exhilarating interview. Amongst several profound takeaways, Vidhu Vinod Chopra's work emphasizes that the message is more important than the messenger!! And what comes out clearly is that #reinventing oneself is as important as #restarting. An interview to cherish.
You know what was Dunki missing it was Vidhu Vinod Chopra i have come to conclusion that VVC is the tadka that Rajkumar Hirani needs in his films which was missing in Dunki
Well said dear. I also felt the same. I always felt VVC is a crazy genius. He has never been after money or else by now he would have made so many Munnabhai
Few days back I listened to Bharadwaj Sir and I watched the movie Yesterday. Today I am listening to two wonderful individuals who know the art of cinema.🎉❤
Looong time listener and first time caller, here. I have to say that this interview was a joy to watch. Time and again, I had goosebumps and the pure joy felt by Vinod & Baradwaj was clearly evident. BR's eye for picking up small details in the movies that he reviews is uncanny and was in full effect. In some ways, BR was as much of a perfectionist as Vinod is. :) For an "arrogant" filmmaker from Kashmir, Vinod is inspiring in how someone should live their life, especially their late life. Thanks for doing this interview and giving us a dose of inspiration amindst the winter doldrums of January in New York, where I am.
Sir I watched the film in chandigarh..iam from south..iam from a simple small family now a doctor in reputed place..I had so much tears why watching the film..I wished this film is dubbed and released in Tamil.. thank you for doing this
VVC's wisdom filled thoughts and approach to movie making, just amazes me. He energy, intentions and conviction doesnt seem like a 72 year old guy. Respect to you sir ❤
Beautiful. Just halfway through the movie and immediately caught the Pather Panchali reference in the BGM. Vikrant Massey is heartbreakingly earnest. VVC lives on, giving the audience a stunner almost four decades after Parinda. Respect.
@@amarc4697 this is my social media avatar bro in really day to day life i have crafted a skin so thick that even the world's most piercing insult bounce off me and hit them right back. 😂😎
I just came back from the theatre watching this movie. I watched the interview before watching the movie and now after watching it as well. The interview is not promoting the movie or exaggerating the movie but they just speaking real things about the movie. Best Movie from bolly after a decade. You can place this movie on the same level as Swades, Rang De Basanti and Taare Zameen Par. If the panelists are real then this movie will be winning awards in every section like acting, dialogue and technical sides like sound design, editing, art etc.! Due to less BGM you can even hear sounds from the nearby screens.
Being a huge fan of BR for years now, I have never commented on any of his videos. But the way 12th fail inspired and then watching this video couldn't resist myself. Simply Amazing. Hats off both you guys :)
Firstly I watched this Interview and Then I watched the Movie ... And again m Watching this Interview... Oh man ... Just fell in love with VidhuSirs conviction and Kudos to Baradwaj sir for this treat.
This is probably the BEST interview I have ever seen!!!!💯💯💯💯💯 It's an experience which struck me deeply and is gonna stay with me for a very very long time. Such a pure conversation between two cinema geniuses. 💎🎬🔥 Never has an interview touched me so strongly. I had tears in my eyes at times just by VVC's impeccable passion for cinema which felt sooooo relatable. ❤️🥹 Its time to #restart and be a better filmmaker. ✌🏾
Very good interview. We identified with this film, as, when my son & his girlfriend ( now his wife for a decade) went to US for higher studies straight from engineering college in 2009, we all went through the same emotions. They are P.HDs and realised their dreams.
The way the director was enjoying the conversation, that's the power for Baddy! Honestly, I never noticed a lack of a music in this movie. Its that amaizing!
Loved to hear Baradwaj sir ask about the background score. Throughout the movie I noticed how understated the score was in an almost old fashioned way! I am a firm believer that background score has a huge role in the success of a movie and its importance is never understood! I have at several times watched movies that were failures at the box office and noticed how off the bg score was and how a better score would have elevated the scene… Loved the interview!
You’re best interview imo Baddy ! No recency bias. Something felt extra special in this interview. You getting some much needed recognition on air felt so pure. Also VVC talking this passionately is the other part which makes it so enduring.
I didn't seen 12th Fail Film when the interview was released. And i decided to watch this only after watching the film. And now i am feeling so overwhelming after watching film 12th Fail, and find it as Best indian film of 2023. And now watching this interview to know how VVC Made this gem 💎❤
my favorite interview in recent memory. here is a man who isn't gonna sound pompous by using big words and trying to be deliberately pretentious or ambiguous. he truly wanted to share every bit of his thought process and his passions. i am genuinely inspired by the film and even more by this interview. i was stupid enough to not be familiar with his work and only thought of him as a raju hirani producer. but i am glad that now i will get to treat myself with all his previous work. and of course baradwaj rangan caressed this interview in a way that only he can. what a duo. much love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
best nativity thing i noticed inside that flour mill manoj and girl speaking manoj taking one water bottle and pour water ..that water jug covered with jute cloth normally in north india summer time outdoor when i worked in site my mechanics /welders keep water in those jugs only wetness of jute cloth make water cool for very longtime. So like that floor mill create more heat so normally there in reality they use like those water bottles only. big kudos to director and his team who even maintain small things like this to make film so much real.
I watched the film last night, and while I may not term it my favorite or say I unabashedly loved the film, I so enjoyed the intention behind the film. You could see it. Throughout. The film is about aspiration and determination, which when concocted in equal measures can result in heart pleasing success. Those some virtues, that ethos, is reflected in this interview. Again, I am not going to suddenly place Mr. Vidhu Vinod Chopra as 'The Best' out there or claim that I have seen all his films, but of the few I have, his love for the craft of storytelling is endearing. He makes memorable movies with love and without compromise. It takes aspiration and determination. That's why when Baddy says the film felt 'pure' I agree with him. It feels purely Indian. We are excessive people, we enjoy heightened drama and expression. You see how the parents and the grandmother emotes and reacts, its us. We exaggerate things and our emotions, our struggles (in general) are far from stoic. The film captures that so very well. It doesn't indulge in the excesses of the emotions present, it just hits the right notes. Others may use the term 'organic' but that seems like we're qualitatively describing a vegetable from Puro Fresh market. I think pure really is the word. The distinguishing factor between an underdog film and a film about aspiration, for me, is that the underdog film is only about the triumph and a film like this is about the beginning of many more triumphs to come. I choose to believe that Manoj Kumar will remain true to his inner voice till he drops dead. That is great to feel and watch. It inspires you to stay true to who you are. Thank you Mr. VVC. BR so correctly points out the chapped lips, the handheld, the rotatory movement and then the push in, the use of the music, all used so very well. One thing both of them, I felt didn't talk (enough) about was the editing. The film breaks its editing style in the final 'confrontation'. I say confrontation because Manoj is now coming face to face with the system, with those who can keep him at bay -- in short -- his fears (for lack of a better word). The editing there is drastically different. The slow reveals, the sustained two shots, the objectiveness is all gone. We are no more a fly on the wall. We go in between Manoj and the Chairman. We get jump cuts mid dialogue to create a fast tempo. We get Vaadh - Vivadh. This done to make you feel a sense of urgency and rush, that perhaps Manoj was feeling too at that point (at the restart of the interview) because albeit he has learnt things won't change and he has a life partner waiting out there for him, it still takes courage to face up to 5 esteemed panelists. And a similar kind of tension is felt by the opposing party (Chairman) whose authority and belief system is being shook. That for me, worked very well. It was a courageous move, wherein a filmmaker was ready to expose the seams of his craft to pin point his agenda. Never sell yourself short, immaterial of strong the opposition is. Going by the interview, and trusting Mr.VVC, that's perhaps what he felt when he was offered 10 lakh rupees to alter Parinda's ending. A great film for film aspirants as well. Loads to learn. Loads to dissect. Lovely to see the subject matter and craft aligning so well.
What an amazing conversation. Binge watched it on loop. This is what I feel is a conversation of cinema where both of them understand in depth the art of cinema/filmmaking. BR sir you an inspiration and you prove that watching cinema is beyond just entertainment. When you interact with filmmakers, it feels that cinema is truly an ART. Vidhu Vinod chopra sir, totally a fan girl. I remember watching Mission Kashmir as a kid and the impact it made on me was incredible. Loved this conversation. thank you
VVC is a genius beyond words… right from my first visual of his Parinda when Jackie’s entry shot ( best entry shot ever) to the shot of Vikrant crashing on his knees after the results or the aata chakki scene.. sir forever your fan.. you blow my mind every time..
Oh my god finally I saw a conversation instead of interview between a movie critic and director. The whole conversation was like two freinds talking about movie sharing their perspective towards it in a chai shop. Finally the good old Bollywood days are back. Thank you Baddy (Bharathwaj Rangan) for existing.
What a wonderful interview! Kudos to Baradwaj Rangan for his noticing the nuances of this masterpiece and probing with the right questions to the master filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra. This made the discussion so great and inspiring.
12th Fail recently we saw with the family. The movie is so engaging & very rooted. Vikrant Massey as Manoj acting felt so real. Inspiring movie of 2023
I absolutely love this interview and i really liked the expression when BR says about the singing scene and he says nobody understands my movies nobody notices but at the end he says i don't read reviews if you don't read reviews then how can you say that nobody understands your movies and not notice,,other than this one simple thing i really loved his passion towards filmmaking
Maybe he doesnt, because nobody gets as precise. I mean look at Animal's reviews. People are bashing it because the male lead is toxic.(which is laughable because the movie was about a toxic man! Its like saying why DDLJ is having romance in it) Instead, Animal should be bashed because the storytelling isnt good. Its a completely diff thing.
Nice observation..He is self certified genius. All directors in India go in the way. Outside, directors just making movies for 40 yrs, still sees youngsters as genius
I thought the movie was brilliant and I came to see this interview. Now I sit here humbled, Manoj and Vinod, I’m just proud to be in the same timeline I guess.
Vidhu Sir made me Restart my life n Vikrant's acting impressed me so much that when real Manoj Sharma was with him in some videos,I only focused on Vikrant coz he looked more like Manoj Sharma than Manoj Sharma.Oh Man,this film is so great.N I loved d minimum use of forced background score,even I have learnt that in film school,but most Indian film makers r obssesed with over use of music they forget that Films,Cinema is a visual medium first,duhhhh
Baddie honestly this interview has motivated me to watch this movie in theatre .. and still this runs in theatre in chennai.. and i am going to watch it in theatres.. thanks for this interview baddie 🫂
I somehow feel connected to protagonist watching real life Manoj interviews in Lallantop and ofcourse Vikas Divyakirti Sir. So, I was tracking the movie for a long time. Felt happy that it turned out so good. I absolutely loved the film. Then I read a review, which is saying the only drawback of film is music. I was like what is he saying. Thanks for the brilliant interview and pointing out so many intricacies of the movie.
Certain flims will make you to watch again and again , every time when you watch it will convey you different meanings and emotions. This is one of those power packed emotions and goose bumps dialogues. Hugs and Big respect to VVC sir !
Such an amazing conversation. First time listening to Vinodh Chopra.. also wondering how can he be the better half of someone else who has sold her soul for nepo kids and film families.. sorry couldnt help digressing. But amazing film and amazingggg conversation between the two of them
![[MV] A leap of faith...ความเชื่อใจครั้งสุดท้าย (From "Petrichor the series")](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1piZH2CNXA/mqdefault.jpg)
When Tarantino speaks like this, our countrymen go mental. But people don’t realise that somewhere, VVC probably inspired Tarantino.
well said 👏
Yo bro
Tarantino and VVC are primarily artists and it’s their individual artistic sensibilities that attract attention from different cohorts around the world. Not which country they’re from. Simply crafting narratives when there isn’t any.
Both r alcoholics
VVC is a saint
9:02 what a beautiful moment...That is exactly why baddy is a gem and we need more ppl like him.
True beautiful
Yeah truly beautiful❤
also at 28:55
Being a baddy fan for several years, when a filmmaker acknowledges him is so emotional for me.
he's 71 😮. Man, he looks way younger.
Kashmiri genes
The happiness is clear in this conversation which is possible only when two people who truly understand cinema (both as a craft and as an art) can read each other.
Probably the most profound interview of BR. Absolute passion and positivity oozing out of my screen. No wonder with a heart like VVC can make such movies. This is art and this is what we live and love for. Thanks again BR.
Always a delight to listen to Baradwaj Rangan ask the most nuanced questions. This gentleman loves and understands cinema with sincerity. No pretence.
This is probably the most inspiring interview I have ever seen. What a man! What a filmmaker! What passion! It's unbelievable
Vidhu Vinod Chopra, one of the few writers in our country who knows the pulse of the audience here
12th fail deserved more love in the theaters, but it is already the most watched film in 2023 on hotstart within 3 days of its ott release. I hope this becomes India's official entry to oscars this time.
Very underrated
it earned 66 crores , it was appreciated well by public
im glad it is well-received.
Malayalam interviewers should learn from this person..how to prepare interview..this is an absolute study class.its not about views its quality that matters and the defintion is Baradwaj rangan
It's such a surreal feeling to see a filmmaker be so passionate about what he is doing. Very inspirational and moving stuff. I could see where the film came from just like how he said - from himself.
Thank You! VVC for your wisdom and I watched the movie and interview on New year and I think this is a sign which screams Year of #restart to me. This is one of the century’s greatest interview. To every honest, self-conscious and arrogant person who search for excellence. And baddy❤
P.S. Can you please do 3 hour long form interview. I want to hear this gentleman’s story and his search for excellence.
Dude! 2199? Fr?
@@Warmeosteelmate paisa bohot hai uske pas
lol same and for whom ? @@Warmeosteelmate
All the best brother!!! Happy to see someone's excitement
LOL! Dont worry ! He can go for 3 days ! one thing VVC likes is talk about himself ! Dig up some old interviews from his 1942 or kareeb days if you can . If not for Raju hirani guy would have been bankrupt by no w. Raju makes loads of money for him and then he burns it on stuff no one watches. His first hit in 44 years !
Dear Baradwaj Rangan, how many times do you watch a movie (especially12th fail), for you to note down everything about each and every scene - dialogues, bgm, silence, acting, expressions, makeup, camera shots, etc. etc... 🤔
As much as the guest is great , a well deserved mention to the interviewer, who mirrors the guest’s knowledge and stir enthusiasm. Maddy if your reading, ur responsible for future film makers . Thank you!
True , this is incredibly inspiring for many film makers
Tears were just dripping from my eyes at several points during this movie.. It's hits so hard ..
When he passes finally n drops down like one generally wud do when one has failed .... Or when he talks to his father at aata chakki place.. N so many more.. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

Oh my god
Since the time I watched this film i raved about this fact to everyone that the music was pather pachali and Chopra sir incorporated it in such a beautiful manner!!
Thank you!
Yes, me and my wife also felt the same, the music had the same soul of pather panchali if not exactly the same music
G.O.A.T Interview.
Sheer pleasure to watch this incredible conversation between two people who understand cinema. So much learning!
And the way they acknowledge each other, beautiful!
Thank you, BR and VVC.
Omg, Mr V V Chopra is on another level. The “Pather Panchali” discussion struck me the most. Excellence is not a target , it’s the pursuit. Mr Chopra embodies it. Thx for bringing him in
One of the wholesome, genuine, pure,honest which stirs some chords, nostalgic due to passion u see on interview, it really shows VC has left himself in every film he made, Thank you BR for amazing interview, taking home some super insights like this really made me think my whole perspective on life of chasing something, when watching , be damn honest without conflict in mind, probably be proud of it, no need to be humble all the time if you are true to yourself and work,not answerable to anyone just to satisfy your own curiosity and passion!! ❤❤

You know what was Dunki missing it was Vidhu Vinod Chopra i have come to conclusion that VVC is the tadka that Rajkumar Hirani needs in his films which was missing in Dunki

11:37 👏
This interview is as awe inspiring as the movie itself!! Vidhu Vinod Chopra you are a gem ❤
VVC is a genius beyond words… right from my first visual of his Parinda when Jackie’s entry shot ( best entry shot ever) to the shot of Vikrant crashing on his knees after the results or the aata chakki scene.. sir forever your fan.. you blow my mind every time..
Beautiful interview. Baradwaj Rangan allows his interviewees to speak. You usually don't see this from most of the Indian interviewers.
One of the best interviews ever. It’s so motivating to see someone ooze so much passion!
Oh my god finally I saw a conversation instead of interview between a movie critic and director. The whole conversation was like two freinds talking about movie sharing their perspective towards it in a chai shop. Finally the good old Bollywood days are back. Thank you Baddy (Bharathwaj Rangan) for existing.
Was rooting for this one. So good to hear that the movie turned out to be outstanding.
8:24 his smile tells everything
What a wonderful interview! Kudos to Baradwaj Rangan for his noticing the nuances of this masterpiece and probing with the right questions to the master filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra. This made the discussion so great and inspiring.
Caution: this interview can give you so many goosebumps!⚠️
12th Fail recently we saw with the family. The movie is so engaging & very rooted. Vikrant Massey as Manoj acting felt so real. Inspiring movie of 2023
this man is truly great. I wanna have conversation with such people., more so with him-as he is welcoming to everybody.
India needs more people like Vidhu Vinod .. his movies are brilliant..
17:02 He knows everythingg 🤐
I absolutely love this interview and i really liked the expression when BR says about the singing scene and he says nobody understands my movies nobody notices but at the end he says i don't read reviews if you don't read reviews then how can you say that nobody understands your movies and not notice,,other than this one simple thing i really loved his passion towards filmmaking
Maybe he doesnt, because nobody gets as precise.
I mean look at Animal's reviews. People are bashing it because the male lead is toxic.(which is laughable because the movie was about a toxic man! Its like saying why DDLJ is having romance in it)
Instead, Animal should be bashed because the storytelling isnt good. Its a completely diff thing.
BR is the only India movie critic/chronicler who matters today!
Salute to Vidhuji’s passion and dedication towards his craft! Very few people with these principles and moral
This interview reminds me so much of Gulshan Grover character in Rangeela 😂
Nice observation..He is self certified genius. All directors in India go in the way. Outside, directors just making movies for 40 yrs, still sees youngsters as genius
VVC is brilliant filmmaker .. cinematic genius ..caught in his world
What a movie..from tamilnadu.. watched it in hindi..whole of India must watch this film..
Excellent interview! One of the best ones on the channel 👍
12 th fail is a special film. I cried, I cried while watching this film in the theater as well as on my phone .
One of the most greatest movies I’ve ever watched. Forget in a movie, it made me feel emotions that I never felt in my own life.
Every filmmaker that speaks to baddie says the same thing - oh you noticed this/ that, so glad speaking to you. Love it ❤
Such a sweet conversation ❤
Interviews are always great, when curiosity beats judgement. Such a wonderful interview. I recommend everyone who has watched the movie to watch this.
This should've been India's entry to oscars this year
The slot for international films closes around September and this released in November but we can submit it for the next year's oscars
Sirappana nerkaanal❤.Thank you BR to make me know about him 🫂
Respect to the brilliance, dedication and detailing of the master Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Two at the top of their respective crafts.....life lessons in this delectable conversation..
I thought the movie was brilliant and I came to see this interview. Now I sit here humbled, Manoj and Vinod, I’m just proud to be in the same timeline I guess.
Vidhu Sir made me Restart my life n Vikrant's acting impressed me so much that when real Manoj Sharma was with him in some videos,I only focused on Vikrant coz he looked more like Manoj Sharma than Manoj Sharma.Oh Man,this film is so great.N I loved d minimum use of forced background score,even I have learnt that in film school,but most Indian film makers r obssesed with over use of music they forget that Films,Cinema is a visual medium first,duhhhh
Baddie honestly this interview has motivated me to watch this movie in theatre .. and still this runs in theatre in chennai.. and i am going to watch it in theatres.. thanks for this interview baddie 🫂
Vidhu Vinod Chopra is a hero. So is Baradwaj Rangan.
One of the best inspirational story Thanks movie director
VVC - This film worked on me, thanks for making it. I respect you. Love your arrogance!
Wow what a bful conversation between two people who appreciate the true craft of filmmaking! Lovely!
I somehow feel connected to protagonist watching real life Manoj interviews in Lallantop and ofcourse Vikas Divyakirti Sir. So, I was tracking the movie for a long time. Felt happy that it turned out so good. I absolutely loved the film.
Then I read a review, which is saying the only drawback of film is music. I was like what is he saying.
Thanks for the brilliant interview and pointing out so many intricacies of the movie.
Certain flims will make you to watch again and again , every time when you watch it will convey you different meanings and emotions. This is one of those power packed emotions and goose bumps dialogues. Hugs and Big respect to VVC sir !
Such an amazing conversation. First time listening to Vinodh Chopra.. also wondering how can he be the better half of someone else who has sold her soul for nepo kids and film families.. sorry couldnt help digressing. But amazing film and amazingggg conversation between the two of them
