From Shaheen Bagh to Bollywood, read about how the resistance has been led by females: www.filmcompanion.in/from-shaheen-bagh-to-bollywood-this-resistance-is-female/
what is this a joke or what? Discussing right wing politics and act as if left is doodh ke dhule. u guys are flushing ur self down the drain from film to politics. You are trying to become the catalyst #anupama to polarize the industry. Left always does it, only if I bad mouth BJP I will be hero in ur elite class.
Thank you Anupama for getting Nagraj into the discussion. His insight is so important and so painful. ❤️ It is so important for such voices to be heard!
Manjule what a person, his answers for almost all the questions is just so so thoughtful. Standout for sure. One dont need to be fluent in English to sound intellectual. Loved this discussion. Even the thoughts of Vetri Sir, though haven't seen any of his movies. Good going FC. Keep them coming. Today I am going to subscribe your channel, though have watched several videos in the past.
We should applaud Film Companion for bringing these gems of Indian Film Industry together and talk about such relevant and brave topic! Thanks for this conversation. And yes! Nagraj Manjule said Million Dollar thing, Jailor is changing and it doesn't matter to me anymore. I just want to get out of the jail.
It would've have been a historical & complete panel about political movie if Pa. Ranjith and Anurag Kashyap were there. Anyway had a great time listening to them, especially nagraj sir & vetrimaran sir...🙏🏽
11years before Sairat a quiet tamil film called "Kaadhal" (Love) had come with which Sairat finds similarities. Produced by the guy who made Robot and 2.0, it ushered a new wave in Tamil cinema. A rich liquor store owner's high school daughter falls for a mechanic, elope from the town of Madurai to the city of Chennai and the ugly head of caste wakens back home. Gut wrenching and real, it was a sleeper hit, for the first time using gritty film making techniques and achieving cult box office status without being masala. Do look for it.
Fandry is good no doubt. Sarait is like little bit filmy but Fandry is more and more real and touches directly heart. Cinematography of Sarait is very good ,cinematogtrophy of Fandry some what poor.
Nagraj manjule is a grate thinker, and the best communicator to have the conversation. 👏👏 I'm a fan of his calmness and composer to answer the questions. 👍🤗
Good to see Nagraj Manjule Sir after a long time. I'm a Delhiet, I don't understand Marathi well enough but my fav film is Sairat. Manjule Dada is my fav director.
Such a pleasure to get introduced to Nagraj Manjule - a superb verbal communicator! So are his films, I hope, that I am yet to discover. All others in this show can learn a thing or two from him.
True, but sometimes they have so much to say and some people speak little more, and Dibakar Banarjee is one such director who has done so so many experiment with the kind of films that he has made

Anubhav Sinha, Dibakar Banerjee, Nagraj Manjule, Nandita Das and Vetri Maaran. What an Amazing Panel! 🙌 Thanks FC for continuing to bring more and more talents from Non-Hindi Film Industries too. Absolute love Vetri Sir and Nagraj Sir's work. Loved to see them here with other 3 people from Bollywood that I really admire. 🙏
Nagraj Manjule manages to remain so authentic despite a monstrous Sairat,no offense to other Directors here but they all pale in comparison,Fandry was an Oscar worthy movie.highly recommended!
Wow good to see Vetrimaran Sir here. He is a genius. Thanks film companion for the concept and discussion. Expecting more like this in near future with all film industry writers and other technicians. All the best.
Everyone who is here fan of Nagraj must read his Poetry. "उन्हाच्या कटा विरुद्ध" . He is just fabulous Poet. Like that Jail and Jailer comparison with society. I'm just happy these people are comfortably talking about cast, gender, Rich, poor. Indian Cinema is changing.
How beautifully Nagraj Majule articulates his thoughts and life experiences. Errrggghhh... When Dibakar cuts him in 55:27 when he was to say something about cloning Sairat for commercial purpose. 😒😒😒
such a great discussion, i'll try checking out every film they've all made as soon as i can. Film companion please keep producing and arranging these important discussions among these and many wonderful filmmakers as much as you guys can.
I moot you to watch FC South too ... Mal movies are top notch ... When I hear Madhavan, Vetrimaaran and other Tamil directors, Vijay Sethupathi, I am imported to a different world. So will you ☺️
Yep, invite another bunch who don't try to package them and are more raw in their approach. Though I am more like Dibakar in terms of my own filmmaking style but I still love and respect the style of Anurag. Sometimes a point has to be made didactically in order it to be powerful.

Manjule is more mature in this group.. very sorted out person..they started this discussion with mentioning being political system unfriendly but concluded this best time for flim makers n so many good film had came in past few years
This discussion could not have come at a better time. So relevant to the times we are living in. Everyone is somehow trying to make sense of accepting and living with what is going on right now !!
Dear Film Companion! Just as a suggestion, how about having a roundtable interview with the documentary filmmakers such as Anand Patwardhan, Rakesh Sharma, Stalin etc., the way once you interviewed shortfilm makers.. I am sure not many people will watch it but as an attempt..
I see many comments of pple asking for pa.ranjith.. I think thats the impact he made and he wants us to create a discussion. For me I like Madras which is a masterpeice💙
While watching this, can't help but think of Kamal Haasan who had every mob threatening him in the past for different films. The Muslims (for Vishwaroopam), the Hindus (for Hey Ram), the casteist mobs from rural Tamil Nadu (films like Thevar Magan, Virumandi). And the biggest of them all, the political parties. Yet he had the conviction and acumen to boldly use his craft to expose different harsh realities that the society is plagued with. He will never shy away in doing this. Importantly he financed himself. He has equally churned out mainstream films loaded with cheese to earn and feed the film star in him , who in turn finances the bold filmmaker in him. Somewhere in this video I was waiting for his reference because nobody else in this country would have faced bans, court cases, religious heat, hatred from political parties as much as he did. Somewhere he became the seeds for change these filmmakers were talking about in this show. Btw excellent discussion FC. P.s. Also I was waiting for pariyerum perumal referred somewhere. A movie everyone should watch.
I am from West of India grown up watching Bollywood films but I think he is the most versatile actor ever to be born in India...nobody can match him not even in Bollywood. He acts, he dance, he writes and also he directs as well as produce movies. The only actor whom I consider close to him is "CHIYAAN VIKRAM" (Kennedy John Victor).
I agree to your point and also not agree to some of it.. the reason why there is no reference because the films these filmmakers made are good films not pathbreaking films like kamalhasan's.. secondly most of the questions directed towards the current situation n current political climate that is why there is no reference.. if kamalhasan had been an arthouse filmmaker like shyam benegal none of his films would have run into trouble.. as per his own confession kamalhasan hates the word art films.. he always wanted to be a mainstream filmmaker where he pushed the people's tastes.. good that he ran into these problems we got the true nature of the society n political background of our country.
@@bhushansurya7821 Been seeing this for quite a while now so just a thought my friend. Remember we had that marathi saying in school textbooks - 'hota jeeva mhanun vachla shiva'. Did we get up and correct our teachers to change that to 'Chatrapati shivaji maharaj'? I don't remember anybody taking any offence in that sentence. And I think that's because he wasn't just a king we respected, but the king we truly loved. Many literatures call him a variety of names, shiva, shivraya, shivaji, shivba, shivaji Raja, raja shivchatrapti, chatrapati shivaji and countles others.. Calling him by his first name, shiva, sometimes feels even more personal and loving than Chatrapati shivaji maharaj or chatrapati shivaji raje bhonsale etc etc. These are notions propelled by political parties by asking people to address him a certain way. Wasnt the case before 2010 atleast when we had chatrapti shivaji terminus CST for many years and no one had a problem with that. If politicians really had respect, they would govern the way he used to, rather than just calling his name a certain way! Even when your read many many acclaimed and praised literatures on him written by legends like babasaheb purandare and ranjit desai, at one point they all address him by words like 'Jijau cha shivba' etc. And I feel that infact brings us closer to the king. There have been so many kings in history, but its only our beloved king shivaji whom we feel more personal too.
What Nagraj Manjule said was so brilliant and relatable. 🙌 And what everyone else was equally interesting. Such an amazing conversation. Thanks FC for making this possible. 🙏
Winners: 1. Nagraj Manjule 2. Vetrimaran 3. Nandita Das Dibakar interrupted many times to make his point which neither of them did. P.S : Big fan of Vetrimaran and Nagraj Manjule from Tamil Nadu
It's not a wrestling or debating completion dude..where one needs to.topple the other..this is a typical Indian mentality of choosing the winners and disparaging the losers..they r not sitting there to win points from you they r there they are paid and invited..take what u can or don't take what u can't from their discourse they give a flying fuck..as u r not their financer
This is so amazing to watch! Like Anubhav has watch Vetrimaaran's movies. Dibakar understands what everyone is saying. Nandita is making good points and contributing effectively. Nagraj Manjule is amazing! Explained the point of making caste system related movies so welll. Everyone has watched everyone s movies! It will be rare to see this with actors.
Very glad vetri entered this elite talk show - the world only knows Hindi-English speaking art/documentary movie directors - a South Indian English speaking art director means someone like Mani ratnam - this is a big step vetri!!!!!! These North Indian artsie directors don’t see reality and not subjective. Vetri you nailed it!!! Only sane people are Nandita, vetri and manjule - the other two directors are toooo elite
Thank you Anupama for this. I want to address Nandita and Anubhav over the thing that they said about caste and class overlap. Being myself a tanner (chamar) I assure you that social mobility is not a subset of economic capital. Capital doesn't alone drive social mobility. Cultural capital (ie Bhrahminical culture) might do that to a very little extent. I can substantiate that with tens of personal life experiences. Having grown up in urban landscape in a lower middle class family, my experiences with caste are just the same as Nagraj has put up into this conversation. The immediate problem for us is not Godzila itself. My whole life has been defined by my caste up until now, from siblings, to kinship, to marriage to family friends to even friends. It panders from your kitchen to university campuses. The understanding of caste system can't be derived from immediate discrimination of things like not allowing to draw water from well but it is about the whole system and how it is pushing particular caste in particular direction. It is about representation. Think about it, does it makes sense that 88% male parliamentarians are making legislations for a society where 50% are women ?? Does it make sense that more than 50% Judges in Supreme court are just Bhramins (not even other caste from savarna) those have been given responsibility to uphold the Constitution ?? Is there fundamentally anything wrong with women and lower caste people to make up to the courts or parliament ? No !!!! This is the system that I am talking about.
@Bloater 46 Go ahead. I can write about reservation all day. I must ask you to read various studies done regarding reservation and how it has succeeded in many of its aims despite being not implemented properly. Take Nepal for study which has similar social structure (caste hierarchy) and there is no reservation. Studies have shown that their inequality gap has only increased. And take States like Tamil Nadu where it is believed that reservation is implemented better than other states has shown decrease in inequality and in Kerela also. There is so much anger and misinformation professed regarding reservation in the country that people taking its benefit are made to feel like shit. Do you EWS category students will have to face such things as well ?? Let's see how much job does reservation actually covers ??? Only 8% jobs are under organized sector, of which only 3% is government owned, of which only 1% is available for direct recruitment (2% is under promotion, where there is no reservation) , of which 0.5% seats are reserved, of which only 0.25% seats are properly filled. This 0.25% population is reserved for 80% (ST, SC, OBC) of India. In other words such small number of jobs are reserved coveres almost all of the India still there is no much fuss about it. This tiny fraction of reservation for huge population has helped many people to come and be a part of public parks and play with their children along with others and have broken stereotypes...
Hey nilesh what insight you have given to the issue which is still considered by the filmmakers to make film....U must b sociologist who knows what is happening to the root level...Thanx for such thoughtful insight...
The reason why they haven't called anurag kashyap is because at this point of time he is very volatile and will easily take names and fc played safe. Btw waiting for 1M subs.
@@Stonytude your first point may be true but if you think anurag is unworthy about a discussion about political films you are wrong. He has been doing that from early times of his career in films like shool, paanch, naayak, yuva. What do you think?????
Did anyone notice that Nagraj Manjule said "Osmanabad"; when he was narrating the stone-pelting incident (37:38) and the film companion subtitled that as "Husnabad" 🤣🤣🤣
This interview was almost the length of a few feature films being made. But I enjoyed listening to all these passionate and successful directors. I would definitely love to watch more such interviews of other such Indian directors who have made films with conviction on the varied subjects, telling stories about the problems, issues, conflicts in different communities and in the society. Thank You! Film Companion it was a really beautiful time spent here.
I so can feel Nagraj Manjule. we are obliged to entangle in so basic things, we are still to get to that place and discussion you are having. We are unable to fill our stomach with decent foods and you are talking about the divine taste and style of savouring your meals.

good newz for all manjule fans that he is gonna direct
THE SIVAJI TRILOGY
Yes.
Chatrapati shivaji maharaj brother please
@@bhushansurya7821 Been seeing this for quite a while now so just a thought my friend. Remember we had that marathi saying in school textbooks - 'hota jeeva mhanun vachla shiva'. Did we get up and correct our teachers to change that to 'Chatrapati shivaji maharaj'? I don't remember anybody taking any offence in that sentence. And I think that's because he wasn't just a king we respected, but the king we truly loved. Many literatures call him a variety of names, shiva, shivraya, shivaji, shivba, shivaji Raja, raja shivchatrapti, chatrapati shivaji and countles others.. Calling him by his first name, shiva, sometimes feels even more personal and loving than Chatrapati shivaji maharaj or chatrapati shivaji raje bhonsale etc etc. These are notions propelled by political parties by asking people to address him a certain way. Wasnt the case before 2010 atleast when we had chatrapti shivaji terminus CST for many years and no one had a problem with that. If politicians really had respect, they would govern the way he used to, rather than just calling his name a certain way! Even when your read many many acclaimed and praised literatures on him written by legends like babasaheb purandare and ranjit desai, at one point they all address him by words like 'Jijau cha shivba' etc. And I feel that infact brings us closer to the king. There have been so many kings in history, but its only our beloved king shivaji whom we feel more personal too.
@@budguesor9222 well explained
Dibakar is such a visionary that he now needs two sets of glasses.
I first thought it was a stetho.
He always carry them
😂😂😂✌️
Lmao
With those miracle glasses he can see inside your clothes.😲
What Nagraj Manjule said was so brilliant and relatable. 🙌 And what everyone else was equally interesting.
Such an amazing conversation. Thanks FC for making this possible. 🙏
HIS UPCOMING MOVIE GHAR BANDUK BRIYANI PAN INDIA RELEASE 🔥
Winners:
1. Nagraj Manjule
2. Vetrimaran
3. Nandita Das
Dibakar interrupted many times to make his point which neither of them did.
P.S : Big fan of Vetrimaran and Nagraj Manjule from Tamil Nadu
It's not a wrestling or debating completion dude..where one needs to.topple the other..this is a typical Indian mentality of choosing the winners and disparaging the losers..they r not sitting there to win points from you they r there they are paid and invited..take what u can or don't take what u can't from their discourse they give a flying fuck..as u r not their financer
Listening to Nagraj and Dibakar shows the difference in knowledge gained from life experience and knowledge gained from living room conversations.
Exactly.. well said
I feel exactly the same
This is so amazing to watch! Like Anubhav has watch Vetrimaaran's movies. Dibakar understands what everyone is saying. Nandita is making good points and contributing effectively. Nagraj Manjule is amazing! Explained the point of making caste system related movies so welll. Everyone has watched everyone s movies! It will be rare to see this with actors.
Very glad vetri entered this elite talk show - the world only knows Hindi-English speaking art/documentary movie directors - a South Indian English speaking art director means someone like Mani ratnam - this is a big step vetri!!!!!! These North Indian artsie directors don’t see reality and not subjective. Vetri you nailed it!!! Only sane people are Nandita, vetri and manjule - the other two directors are toooo elite
Has to be one of the most intelligent set of film makers and actors!!!!
Such uploads are pure gold dust. Thank you Film Companion.
Thank you Anupama for this. I want to address Nandita and Anubhav over the thing that they said about caste and class overlap. Being myself a tanner (chamar) I assure you that social mobility is not a subset of economic capital. Capital doesn't alone drive social mobility. Cultural capital (ie Bhrahminical culture) might do that to a very little extent. I can substantiate that with tens of personal life experiences. Having grown up in urban landscape in a lower middle class family, my experiences with caste are just the same as Nagraj has put up into this conversation. The immediate problem for us is not Godzila itself. My whole life has been defined by my caste up until now, from siblings, to kinship, to marriage to family friends to even friends. It panders from your kitchen to university campuses. The understanding of caste system can't be derived from immediate discrimination of things like not allowing to draw water from well but it is about the whole system and how it is pushing particular caste in particular direction. It is about representation. Think about it, does it makes sense that 88% male parliamentarians are making legislations for a society where 50% are women ?? Does it make sense that more than 50% Judges in Supreme court are just Bhramins (not even other caste from savarna) those have been given responsibility to uphold the Constitution ?? Is there fundamentally anything wrong with women and lower caste people to make up to the courts or parliament ? No !!!! This is the system that I am talking about.
Such a great insight into caste
@@danielwalter2001 glad
@Bloater 46 Go ahead. I can write about reservation all day. I must ask you to read various studies done regarding reservation and how it has succeeded in many of its aims despite being not implemented properly. Take Nepal for study which has similar social structure (caste hierarchy) and there is no reservation. Studies have shown that their inequality gap has only increased. And take States like Tamil Nadu where it is believed that reservation is implemented better than other states has shown decrease in inequality and in Kerela also.
There is so much anger and misinformation professed regarding reservation in the country that people taking its benefit are made to feel like shit. Do you EWS category students will have to face such things as well ?? Let's see how much job does reservation actually covers ???
Only 8% jobs are under organized sector, of which only 3% is government owned, of which only 1% is available for direct recruitment (2% is under promotion, where there is no reservation) , of which 0.5% seats are reserved, of which only 0.25% seats are properly filled. This 0.25% population is reserved for 80% (ST, SC, OBC) of India. In other words such small number of jobs are reserved coveres almost all of the India still there is no much fuss about it. This tiny fraction of reservation for huge population has helped many people to come and be a part of public parks and play with their children along with others and have broken stereotypes...
Hey nilesh what insight you have given to the issue which is still considered by the filmmakers to make film....U must b sociologist who knows what is happening to the root level...Thanx for such thoughtful insight...
Nagraj Manjule is too pure and profound at the same time.🙌
The reason why they haven't called anurag kashyap is because at this point of time he is very volatile and will easily take names and fc played safe.
Btw waiting for 1M subs.
Yeah true
Or they contacted him and he wasn't available. Or they considered him unworthy of the panel. It could be anything. Don't assume so much.
Yes
@@Stonytude your first point may be true but if you think anurag is unworthy about a discussion about political films you are wrong. He has been doing that from early times of his career in films like shool, paanch, naayak, yuva.
What do you think?????
@@hemanthk5603 you forgot black friday, Gulaal . There was also a plot woven around the political redtapism in mukkabaaz.
Here for Vetri maaran!!! Thank you FC for bringing every one together!!!!!
I learned so many things from this interview.. nagraj sir wins hearts everytime..
Loved Diwakar bannerjee's Anurag's bit in Ghost stories. Dibakar specially was outstanding. Weaving caste and honor killing in a horror narrative
This conversation is not completed without Pa.Ranjith
@@crazycockatiel2982 cry
I have watched the whole episode only for nagraj manjule....as always he just nailed it
Anyone here for Nagraj Manjule.. The man who made classics like Sairat and Fandry
WOW. Nagraj Manjule
Vetrimaaran and nandita Das is damm genius...
Omg genius vetrimaran🔥🔥🔥💥💥
The best political Movie in Tamil in recent times in my view is Pariyerum Perumal by Maari Selvaraj
So happy that most are comments are Vetrimaran and Nagraaj Manjule 😍🔥 and Pa Ranjith..🔥🔥..
Did anyone notice that Nagraj Manjule said "Osmanabad"; when he was narrating the stone-pelting incident (37:38) and the film companion subtitled that as "Husnabad" 🤣🤣🤣
This interview was almost the length of a few feature films being made. But I enjoyed listening to all these passionate and successful directors. I would definitely love to watch more such interviews of other such Indian directors who have made films with conviction on the varied subjects, telling stories about the problems, issues, conflicts in different communities and in the society. Thank You! Film Companion it was a really beautiful time spent here.
Nagraj!❤
I so can feel Nagraj Manjule. we are obliged to entangle in so basic things, we are still to get to that place and discussion you are having. We are unable to fill our stomach with decent foods and you are talking about the divine taste and style of savouring your meals.
Please do an full interview with Nagraj sir....man mith simplicity but high intellectual
