    I have been to Jallianwala twice in 20 years. The chaos that they have done and made out of this memorabilia by introducing thoughtless light and sound shows are saddening. Shoojit Sarkar just caught my feelings; it was uncomfortably eerie in Jallianwala. Not anymore. Why do we have to renovate everything to the extent to make them look like new!!!!

    Although there are so many MEMORABLE SCENES from SHOOJIT SIRCAR'S MOVIES but for ME, the SCENE that stands out is from SARDAR UDHAM where VICKY KAUSHAL is in JAIL and talking to the BRITISH LAWYER explaining JALIANWALA BAGH SEQUENCE and in the ending lines says,"KABHI ROOH KO SHAREER SEY ALAG HOTE DEKHA HAI AAPNE?". That one line sums up the whole emotion behind SARDAR UDHAM. Great Director and Great Interview by SAMDISH keeping it unfiltered as always. ❤😊🎉

But I didn't realise that he had put as much thought in Vicky donor as he did.. I can listen to Shoojit talking the whole day ... We need Shoojit " conversing" (as he calls it) with us more often about life.

      Cannot compete with Varun that works with shujit sircar but this is totally different with great performers like Ranbir h can pulloff massey performances as well as the grounded roles.

      @ It is the requirement of the character is it not? He has to play to the crown in those movies. If he can deliver stellar performances in the hands of good directors then it means the audience acceptance is shaping Varun's choices. Look at the Citadel trailer, for example, he seems to have given a great performance there as well, Bhediya too was very good. So it's not just the director's credit as u appeared to imply. You can say that he needs to work on better movies and we as an audience need to encourage this!

    Samdish you should invite Actors, Directors, Writers and conduct Masterclass. Man you're so good, you ask the right questions, you dig deeper. Keep up the good work brother. I wish it was 3 - 4 hours long where you could discuss scenes and stuff.

    Oh! I was just scrolling through Instagram a few days back and I just saw a clip of this interview where he says ki yaar irfaan k bina nhi hoo paega ... Then I searched it and watched it. It was kind of soothing. It was easy to interpret even for an outsider. So yeah, well, one of the most amazing conversations❣️ wishing you more love and power.

    "What you want to do what you want to converse kisiko samjhana.."
    When one finds and recognizes this in a person, the mind just, is incapable, of letting that person go. It's in utter denial; irrespective of what the reality is and what the world claims and demands from it.
    I can relate hard with Mr.Shoojit here.🙂
