@@abhishekkrishna3902 Gentleman. First listen whole conversation of video and then read my comment.Then put your valuable comments.. Please rethink and then reply.Awaiting your reply
Mr. Baru did something which I wish more people associated with public offices should do. Write about events that transpire (something our politicians not do, leaving some). Obviously subjectivity will come into such narrations. He wrote what he felt and knew with some amount of certainty to be true. His integrity need not be questioned. With this being said, obviously he could have exerted his moral right as the author of the book, for the mutilation done to his book.
The Wire is one of my short listed DO NOT WATCH news media, without knowing about Mr. Siddharth . After watching this interview, I know I have done the right things. The temptations of absolving Gandhis is running high in every question he has asked. Mr. Varadarajanlearn to be honest with your profession, as Mr। Baru has demonstrated।
It's funny Siddharth is trying his best to portray film as propaganda film and trying pull Anupam in category of politically motivated person... Thanks Mr. Sanjaya to making it clear that there were serious issues in UPA tenure no matter how hard it is to digest the fact for leftist people... Hats off to Sanjaya... Great Author and Great person you brought the lies of UPA in front of Indian voters.
Dont know what film he watched, what I watched showed MMS as the hero but for his criticism of the dynasty. Pretty sure that most people condemning the movie as propaganda have not watched it.
It's a welcome relief to watch two sensible gentlemen are having a calm conversation and every critical point is discussed without blood thirsty shouting.
This is an irresponsible comment saying I have just signed the film agreement and nothing to do how its been portrayed..if you did not mean to run down somebody how did you allow director to do that taking pretence of your book cudnt you add a condition that the very essence and message should not change or dilute..
Watch from 34 min Sidharth got nice slap .... Baru should have also asked about his leftist propoganda channel ... Before talking about this film propoganda 😋😊
This was actually a very well conducted interview, even though the tone of Mr. Vardarajan is quite adversarial. Reminded me a lot of his interview with Venkat Dhulipala from his RSTV days.
Well balanced answers given by Mr. Baru. The best part is he openly agreed that it is his views when he is in PMO and he can take responsibility for his book and not the film. I have not read the book yet, but yes it is in my interest now. Hell yes, that every bureaucrat should also paint there point of views so that people in public would be able to know the culture and drama behind the scenes of there work environment.
Its clear that Baru is a heartless man. He wrote a book on someone else's life & sold the rights to a politically motivated group of filmmakers & artists. Now he has no regrets about the propaganda film. Why is he not talking about the disgusting false portrayal in the film?? He got his money though🤑. Fair enough!! But MM Singh is the only scapegoat here, as he believed in Baru.🥺
Wasn't Manmohan a scapegoat when congress and 40 thieves were doing monumental scams......why was he afraid to act against the likes of A Raja and Maran Brothers.....he was an honest upright man, he had no political dynasty to take care of ....his family was well settled ..why was he licking boots of gandhis......the book and movie are both garbage.....but can manmohan be absolved of being the Dhritrashtra
Yes Had Baru written a book praising out and out for MMS you would have clapped for Baru. This kind of book and film is more and more needed to infuse transparence in the govt and political party s functioning.
kudos to Dr Baru for his clarity of thought on both the book and the film. NAC was a joke that kept interfering with the PM. Incidentally do not miscommunicate that RTI was a Congress creation . Please refer to the UN deliberations of that period. Ghulam Nabi Azad took the credit for MDG that was the product of UN deliberations then and India being a signatory had to implement.. The RTI issue was similar to the above. Of course Rahul Gandhi Kept parroting the government line at that time that they created RTI. Pure BS! Incidentally I feel sorry that a erudite PM of Man Mohan singh's caliber had to go through the ignominy of pandering to the loot brigade that surrounded him.
NAC was nothing but a bunch of Naxal thugs.....plz name even one achievement of NAC......the cash guzzling MANREGA or the non starter Food security bill.....
Truth is always bitter Mr Baru showed u how Gandhi family is ruining our country reporter is not happy as he is not able to get the ans which he wants Mr Baru to say
I have not read the book but the movie is absolute undisguised propaganda..... Anupam kher who is a good actor should be ashamed of himself to have sold himself to goons political parties of our country(including all parties in India). He has done disservice to his profession.
I don't need to read the book to know that the movie is propaganda. I have seen the movie, cinema is visual art and so much is portrayed without saying the words. And this interview is specially done to break that bubble for millions of people those do not understand how art has been used since world war era as propaganda by political leaders around the world. Have you even tried listening to Baru in the interview he has said it himself what movie has chosen to show and how Anupam Kher wanted it to release near general elections
@@aurilk8524 ...why is Baru's book being treated as gospel......it's one guy's viewpoint....it could be full of falsehoods also..... however it's a matter of common knowledge that Mummy and beta were the driving force behind everything......the book probably streches the same too far and the movie is a fiction based on fiction
Wire’ s attempts to ‘wire’ Baru completely misfired! Liked the way Baru handled with calmness and maturity - the biased prejudiced mind & line of questioning by Siddarth. Never found any traces of objectivity or balance in Siddarth! One cannnot expect too! Excellent work Baru!
Watched movie "The Accidental Prime Minister". I would like to say, this is one of the fantastic movie I have ever seen. Enjoyed a lot. There are very few movies which you expect not to end. This movie is one of them. After 2 hours watching this movie I was so disappointed that why this ended. Classic acting of "Akshaye khanna" and "Anupam Kher". Some people say it is propaganda movie of BJP. I have different point of view on this - Even if it is propaganda film of BJP, it is based on book written by Media Advisor(Mr Sanjay Baru) of EX- PM Dr Manmohan Singh ji. This book was never criticised by Manmohan Singh ji, however official statement of PMO was given against this book. But I think PMO and PM are different identity. After watching this film you will get to know some insight of PMO working style. Impact of this film on me is that I watched this film last night but hangover of this film still present. Whole night I was watching "Akshaye khanna" and "Anupam kher" in my dreams. You will get to know both bright side and dark side of our EX- PM, Dr Manmohan Singh ji. Disclaimer: I think those who like politics should watch this movie.
I feel like puking seeing how much this interviewer absolutely LOVES the Gandhis. An entire movement of RTI which had so many civil societies involved in it stands utterly derided when this buffoon of an interviewer says 'All thanks to NAC for RTI'. And they talk about propaganda done by other people. What are you 'The Wire'?
Isn't Manmohan Singh a bigger culprit than Baru......he was the PM of the nation...however he acted more like Raamu Kaaka of Gandhi Family.....there are no questions about his personal honesty, I believe he's spotless....but why did he allow the monumental scams under him .....if Baru is guilty of betraying Manmohan... isn't Manmohan guilty of betraying the nation
I have been wanting to see the film for a long time...finally it happened today.The way it is projected in media interviews that Singh was a puppet in the hands of the Family seems an inclined vested view. I have found that Singh never took the under estimation of his position, by the UPA, lying low. He has attempted resignation which was not accepted by Sonia for the preservation of Family's /Rahul's good image. Towards the end as well, Singh stepped down because he felt that his position as PM was being compromised and misused by the Family. So the film only reflects the strong character of Singh and the dirty functioning of UPA, whose foremost interest was Power concentration and not the country
I think this movie would do more harm to BJP than Congress. The portrayal of Dr. Singh has invoked a sense of sympathy towrads him and a undertone of dislike towards BJP. Tweeting about the movie from BJP's official Twitter handle cast them as oppressor.
have you even seen the movie ?? I am sure you have not ..Singh is shown as a honest man with good intentions ..its only because some Indians still with slave mentality cant hear / digest anything about the great fake gandhi family
To day it's very tough to distinguish between a writer and a publicity mischief of a political party. We have every respect for Dr.Manmohanji,the holy soul.....
How can someone undermine and demean someone efforts, yes Mr MMS might not great orator, but he was highly qualified and being humble comes with qualification . Empty vessels makes more noise. People may have different way of handling organization/govt, but that doesn't mean we humiliate any person.
Well, its not just high qualification that is needed for being a leader. If you are saying he was not a good orator.... Dude a leader's first qualification is to be that. Second qualification I think is how you can control the ministry and mass.... He was controlled by party members and its not hidden. Any kid growing in that era can verify that. You know that... So, yeah... If someone at the position of PM couldn't be worth being a PM, he should resign or more so shouldn't take up in the first place. One must hold the position he can justify.
I have not seen the film but I have read the book I must say that the book not even once tries to humiliate Our Ex PM. In fact it more or less does the opposite. In fact after reading that book I had more respect for Dr. Singh.
In 2004, Congress didn't win the election hands down, even though the BJP fared badly. It's a margin of seven MPs. I don't think that the Congress, despite being the single largest party in LS then, had got the legitimacy from the voters to run the govt even though it eventually formed the govt with the support of a number of parties. Having said this, the 2009 verdict was clearly in favour of the Congress-led formation.
You must take a stand that is either white or black and not grey, which you are trying to do now. It is understood that when I have a child who on growing up turns rogue I cannot entirely wash my hands off. To select a title that you did is in itself derogatory and an invite to inimical entities. Our prime minister Manmohan Singh is a revelation and should be a role model for our youth. Today he is aged and infirm but only after he left his footsteps on the sands of time. You have done a great disservice to the nation.
ya...a sympathetic portrayal of Manmohan Singh.....he appears to be very honest.......but spineless........totally appeasing the power crazy Antonio Maino.......for Rahul's "inheritance" 2/5/20
Sanjaya Baru comes across as a true journalist who are extinct today.Today we have either paid boot lickers in the garb of journalists or completely biased group with a very few exceptions.
Sanjay Baru is 100 % correct . This Congress stooge us trying to put words into Baru s mouth but miserably failed. Varadaraj is caught red handed and in serious trouble now for what he is.
Hehehe c mon we all know where it went and who is benefiting. Everything said and done BJP really couldn’t milk it . Manmohan singh was a great prime minister . But if talking exaggerations make u a leader and in fact doing nothing then yes manmohan Singh was not a great leader as he spoke less and meant everything good for India . people will disagree with my opinion but he did a lot for the Indian economy not to the Indian economy
We all are entitled to our opinions and I don't agree with Baru n the movie.... however can you deny that Manmohan was silently complicit when he allowed the merry bunch of Mummy beta and the 40 thieves of UPA to run wild with their scams, crazy ideas like NAC.....why didn't he do anything after 2008 Mumbai attacks..... tragedy apart the whole world laughed at us ...nation with 5th largest military and air Force in the world couldn't take care of Pakistan......even a small helpless puppy would react when attacked...while the govt of a nation of 1.25 billion people was sitting idle when attacked
nit23sharma do u know from when the attack’s have reduced it was 2011 . But this will not be noticed offcourse congress has been wrong and they were kicked out because of that . Now terrorist activity have come to zero no doubt it is a good job by bjp big other than that what have they given terrorism inside in form of hate spreading . Bro manmohan 2G scam or Rafael or bofors all are same bro all. Atleast manmohan gave us liberal policies . Yes they messed it up so we taught them a lesson same we should do to the bjp
@@malihsyed3257 .....it's not about BJP or congress.....my point is why was Manmohan so helpless....had he even threatened to resign, these same buggers would have been begging and rolling on his feet.........Modi , Manmohan, gandhis....none of these damn idiots is even worth a speck of dust of this nation.....
I am a Modi supporter. I must say that even though the act by Anupam Kher as Dr Singh was decent and maybe even good, the overall movie was a disappointment. Somehow the movie does not seem to be getting its holistic view right. It places 2 much emphasis on Constant tussle between NAC and govt. All said and done, it cannot be denied that there is truth to people saying that Dr Singh was spineless as he was 2 soft on politically hot potato issues. As a PM, his stamp should have been final on all policies. Unfortunately, his soft spoken nature exacerbated his downfall. 2 more points are that it cannot be denied that the so called mother son duo consider Congress party and India as their personal fiefdom. Congress party is simply not realising the way it is failing not just itself but the country at large by still hanging on to the Gandhi clan! Somehow people seem to be euphoric about the entry of Mrs Vadra now! If anything, it’s a sad day for Congress at large! Even if u ask a non bjp, non Modi supporter, the country by and large thinks that the Gandhi clan is synonymous with corruption and mal governance! Simply attacking Modi and not portraying your vision for country wont really help Congress! When Rahul could have given an opportunity to the next generation of congress leadership after winning the historic elections in Hindi heartland he chose to make 70+ year olds as CM’s. sending a flippant twitter msg at 8am in the morning not really help congress. When important decisions are supposed to be made, this is where Rahuls immaturity comes to the fore. The last point being that journalists like Siddharth of the Wire very proudly display at the end of the programme to support “independent journalism”, but if u look at the interview, it has become abundantly clear hearing the questions where the so called “independent journalists” allegiances lie! Everything is a critique.! There’s no objectivity left in journalism. Swarajya supports BJP and “independent journalists” like Wire support Congress. What irritates me is that hypocrites like this above journalist think of us Indians as idiots and who do not know what’s going on.
When you Wire supports Congress I also see it supports a family and when Swaraj supports BJP it supports country. It's my personal view but yes I believe that journalism must be unbiased to all parties.
Have you not heard of Shashi Tharoor's book? When people who are in power are sincere in their efforts they have nothing to fear from people who want to pull them down.
Bhai in many places in India congress people were stopping the screening of the movie , go and check out on net and then comment about freedom of speech by your congress party
Honestly.... My respect towards Dr. Manmohan Singh has grown after watching the movie... The biased critic world made the movie flop. It was actually a good political movie
You nailed it Dr. Baru, every question was answered smartly though in every single question Mr. Vardarajan was trying to put words in your mouth. I totally disagree with Vardarajan where he says that the movie represents Dr. Singh as a puppet in fact I started respecting Dr. Singh after watching the movie. I think he was chosen to use as a puppet by Sonia Gandhi but Mr. Singh showed courage and fought for the county's welfare, he was a patriot, I am going to read the book soon and hope would find many other great things about Mr. Singh. Here Mr. Varadarajan talks about propoganda like he is not trying a propganda to take Mr. Baru down by this interview and to criticize BJP and by doing so he actually is insulting Mr. Singh's intent and intel. Mr. Vardarajan, if not on your thinking at least work on your body language, anyone can see your anxiety and excitement to prove Mr. Baru wrong. Now this is what happens with oversmart people like you, I am going to read the book because you are trying to demean Mr. Baru, the same thing happened when congress tried to tell people that the book is full of lies. Finally what can be expected from Wire, there was a time when a woman with codenamed Vano controlled media by money and now this is happening in this era again.
reading between the lines when he says - No writer is happy with movie of his book! The movie goes beyond the book! He plainly tells the audience.. I have sold rights and plainly washed my hands off it. If you want to check mismatch between movie and book, buy my book.. it will be a win win situation for me!
What are you talking about Mr Baru when you say you are responsible for d book but not for d film? How clever of you Mr Baru? But your slip is showing. When you signed d contract selling d rights of d book and d contract was that the film makers will take liberties with d book, you WERE responsible for permitting them to distort d book the way they wanted. Do you think Mr Baru we your listeners are fools? Sophistry can expose itself and it does expose itself here.
And he is a media savvy person. He was aware that the timing of the book release was a commercial decision. So he knew full well what would happen when he signed off film rights without control of the story. He is lying through his teeth. Methinks he doth protest too much
Excellent mr baru... Interviewer ls biased in his views...continuesly trying his best to impose his thoughts on baru..But he replied in such a great manner
Watch from 34 min Sidharth got nice slap .... Baru should have also asked about his leftist propoganda channel ... Before talking about this film propoganda 😋😊
Peter Mundackal: While Sanjay Baru may have been true to his experiences, he had a moral obligation to point out the deviations made and liberties taken by the film makers, in painting an uncomplimentary picture on Dr Manmohan Singh.
Interviewer tried his best to make Baru agreed that this film is total rubbish and that the concept of National Advisor Committee was not bad. Successfully confronted by Baru...after all he is a journalist too and a bold one.
Baru made his point. Unfortunately here, Varadadarajan looks like an apologist. It's good that the wire drew the line. Thanks for pointing out that Sonia's character was not shown in the same light in the book as is portrayed in the film.
Appointment of Baru in PMO is most flaw by Dr. Singh as PM, Unfaithful, unethical, no integrity, Morals, Cheat of High office, Sold his Soul for money. How dare Baru comment on successful PM of India. Police should take suamoto action on treachery of confidence, security, secrecy of PM, to ridicule Dr. Singh.
The journalist is trying his best to steer the interviewee towards his views that this film is bad and a propaganda, but Mr. Baru is smart, he is not budging a bit. He is very neutral and has his thoughts on the issue very clear; which is not sitting well with the journalist.
This man breached the trust that is expected from those assume important public offices and have access to the critical informations in term of national interest..Today he wrote book on internal functioning of government for commercial gain tomorrow by taking inspiration from his work any other person can come forward to disclose other kind of secret informations of national interest for commercial gain..Act of this man is blatant betrayal
I have watched the movie. It was really nice. People will say lot of things without knowing the real truth. Let them bark as we can't change their mind.
The interview feels like someone trying to cover their bits when they suddenly realise that they came out in public not wearing anything. Feel sorry for the Wire.
How clever...,in the name of beyond the book(dramatization), u portray things to the ugliest propaganda extent...thats the karma..the reason why, film devastated in the theaters even after all kinds unprecedented promotions to the film...never been a supporter of Congress, but its very strange that how worse Modi has been as a PM...People are inclining towards Rahul Gandhi
It's painful to watch the movie not because it's propaganda but how badly a prime minister of India was treated by the ruling family and how can a man take up so much abuse, holding the highest office in the country. I think Manmohan Singh did not like confrontation and the family very well knew this and used it to their advantage.
Vardarajan is a bright man, but because of the undying loyalty to the Family displayed by him and people like him from the Lutyen's circus, people have lost faith in them and have started listening to right of centre news channels
I think Sanjay Baru did the right thing. People should have known the truth and he brought it out.
Thanks, Dr. Sanjaya Baru from bringing out the truth. We need more courageous people like him in India.
Hypocrite Siddhartha tried his level best for biased views.But brilliantly countered and honest reply by Sanjay Baru.Wow..Great conversation..
yes,he is trying to put his words in Baru's mouth.He is trying to defend NAC.
Right
Idiot he is journalist not Akshay Kumar

Mr. Baru did something which I wish more people associated with public offices should do. Write about events that transpire (something our politicians not do, leaving some).

With this being said, obviously he could have exerted his moral right as the author of the book, for the mutilation done to his book.
I watched the movie and the movie projects how Manmohan Singh struggled with his own party for almost everything yet fulfilled his duties.
The most balanced comment I read here.
this video ended with requesting us to support independent journalism. I guess The Wire's independence is tied to "The Family"
The interviewer did not get what he wanted from the interview despite best efforts.
The Wire is one of my short listed DO NOT WATCH news media, without knowing about Mr. Siddharth .
After watching this interview, I know I have done the right things.
The temptations of absolving Gandhis is running high in every question he has asked.
Mr. Varadarajanlearn to be honest with your profession, as Mr। Baru has demonstrated।
Siddharth Varadarajan did not like the film and Sanjay Baru does not care! Love it!

There is some valid point of Sanjay baru.
Siddhartha is doing his best to put words into the mouth of SANJAY Baru ji. All the best Sid ;)
mr. Baru got a very good deal for his Experience . Good Businessman..
The work of a media men is to bring such truth in front of the people and you have done your duty well, this is a very commendable work.
Brilliant book. It is obvious that Mr. Baru is a man of integrity. He is most objective in his analysis. Awesome 👍 Jai Hind 🇮🇳

I absolutely agree.
If you've read the book, theyve shown the truth.

Rukhsana Shaikh well said
how many have come over to link, after watching the movie.
Haha Baru nails it. We are essentially a feudal society.
This was actually a very well conducted interview, even though the tone of Mr. Vardarajan is quite adversarial. Reminded me a lot of his interview with Venkat Dhulipala from his RSTV days.
Sounds like Lutyens media doesn't like when someone criticizes pappu and family. Proud of Mr Baru and Mr Kher for exposing them. Please make a sequel.

wow this interview grew a new tree of vocabulary to my brain cells...
Its clear that Baru is a heartless man. He wrote a book on someone else's life & sold the rights to a politically motivated group of filmmakers & artists. Now he has no regrets about the propaganda film. Why is he not talking about the disgusting false portrayal in the film?? He got his money though🤑. Fair enough!! But MM Singh is the only scapegoat here, as he believed in Baru.🥺
Film does not show Singh in any bad light ..... But Sonia and Rahul characters are dramatized ... Rahul uchhe kudi yorige idu artha agalla
Baru is well wisher of MMS
Wasn't Manmohan a scapegoat when congress and 40 thieves were doing monumental scams......why was he afraid to act against the likes of A Raja and Maran Brothers.....he was an honest upright man, he had no political dynasty to take care of ....his family was well settled ..why was he licking boots of gandhis......the book and movie are both garbage.....but can manmohan be absolved of being the Dhritrashtra
Baru is a smart guy ? - made money selling the rights to Bora, and now selling himself with a exclusive interview to Varadarajan...
Nagendra H N How many Crores do you think, Varadarajan could have paid him for this interview?🤔😀 Talk sense, man.
All those abusing Baru... Be reminded that he is well wisher of MMS. Also listen interview carefully. Don't apply burnol midway on ur asses
Yes Had Baru written a book praising out and out for MMS you would have clapped for Baru. This kind of book and film is more and more needed to infuse transparence in the govt and political party s functioning.
This host is a such a hypocrite, his attitude is loathing - stooge he is. It is evident that Mr. Baru answered everything with honesty. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

True ..
I have not read the book but the movie is absolute undisguised propaganda..... Anupam kher who is a good actor should be ashamed of himself to have sold himself to goons political parties of our country(including all parties in India). He has done disservice to his profession.
Anupam Kher and Paresh Rawal both are bhaktards.
Both were bad..the worst movie and acting in their life time.
If you read the book, you'll realise the movie has shown the truth.

Disclaimer: I think those who like politics should watch this movie.
Such insider Political Books should come much more. Actually one feels much more in a democracy

And they talk about propaganda done by other people. What are you 'The Wire'?
Mr. Varadarajan tried hard to defend. Mr. Baru has answer(very logical) for every question.
Read books instead of watching movies !!
BARU is not sympathiser to Manmohan , infact baru is one who incash more by selling his belief,....
Isn't Manmohan Singh a bigger culprit than Baru......he was the PM of the nation...however he acted more like Raamu Kaaka of Gandhi Family.....there are no questions about his personal honesty, I believe he's spotless....but why did he allow the monumental scams under him .....if Baru is guilty of betraying Manmohan... isn't Manmohan guilty of betraying the nation
Loved the movie. Saw it in 2024. Still relevant
Loved it....Thank you for this treat....Iam thankful to the wire for thriving to be very grounded, very authentic when it comes to their journalism ,
sanjay baru seem to be very intelligent.

The anchor is trying to portray BJP as Villan in making this film. Bu Baru nicely answered Questions
I have just loved the film and book. Thank you Baru garu for such a great attempt. 👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏
To day it's very tough to distinguish between a writer and a publicity mischief of a political party. We have every respect for Dr.Manmohanji,the holy soul.....
How can someone undermine and demean someone efforts, yes Mr MMS might not great orator, but he was highly qualified and being humble comes with qualification . Empty vessels makes more noise. People may have different way of handling organization/govt, but that doesn't mean we humiliate any person.
Very true. Totally agree
Well, its not just high qualification that is needed for being a leader. If you are saying he was not a good orator.... Dude a leader's first qualification is to be that.
Second qualification I think is how you can control the ministry and mass....
He was controlled by party members and its not hidden. Any kid growing in that era can verify that. You know that... So, yeah... If someone at the position of PM couldn't be worth being a PM, he should resign or more so shouldn't take up in the first place. One must hold the position he can justify.
I have not seen the film but I have read the book I must say that the book not even once tries to humiliate Our Ex PM. In fact it more or less does the opposite.
In fact after reading that book I had more respect for Dr. Singh.
When Baru quoted Mao, Siddharth was ecstatic
Good he decided not to give any other interview.. Not required..he doesn't deserve to be seen or heard
In 2004, Congress didn't win the election hands down, even though the BJP fared badly. It's a margin of seven MPs. I don't think that the Congress, despite being the single largest party in LS then, had got the legitimacy from the voters to run the govt even though it eventually formed the govt with the support of a number of parties. Having said this, the 2009 verdict was clearly in favour of the Congress-led formation.
Thank you
What a biased interviewer. You should be ashamed of it whatever your name is. Disliking the video just because of the host.
Mr Vardarajan crossed all limits of Hypocracy. left no stone unturned to put words in Mr Baru's mouth
You must take a stand that is either white or black and not grey, which you are trying to do now. It is understood that when I have a child who on growing up turns rogue I cannot entirely wash my hands off. To select a title that you did is in itself derogatory and an invite to inimical entities. Our prime minister Manmohan Singh is a revelation and should be a role model for our youth. Today he is aged and infirm but only after he left his footsteps on the sands of time. You have done a great disservice to the nation.
ya...a sympathetic portrayal of Manmohan Singh.....he appears to be very honest.......but spineless........totally appeasing the power crazy Antonio Maino.......for Rahul's "inheritance" 2/5/20
Sanjaya Baru comes across as a true journalist who are extinct today.Today we have either paid boot lickers in the garb of journalists or completely biased group with a very few exceptions.
Manmohan Singh if he was assertive and strong he could have turned the future of India
Sanjay Baru is 100 % correct . This Congress stooge us trying to put words into Baru s mouth but miserably failed. Varadaraj is caught red handed and in serious trouble now for what he is.
Hehehe c mon we all know where it went and who is benefiting. Everything said and done BJP really couldn’t milk it . Manmohan singh was a great prime minister . But if talking exaggerations make u a leader and in fact doing nothing then yes manmohan Singh was not a great leader as he spoke less and meant everything good for India . people will disagree with my opinion but he did a lot for the Indian economy not to the Indian economy
I agree with you!
We all are entitled to our opinions and I don't agree with Baru n the movie.... however can you deny that Manmohan was silently complicit when he allowed the merry bunch of Mummy beta and the 40 thieves of UPA to run wild with their scams, crazy ideas like NAC.....why didn't he do anything after 2008 Mumbai attacks..... tragedy apart the whole world laughed at us ...nation with 5th largest military and air Force in the world couldn't take care of Pakistan......even a small helpless puppy would react when attacked...while the govt of a nation of 1.25 billion people was sitting idle when attacked
nit23sharma do u know from when the attack’s have reduced it was 2011 . But this will not be noticed offcourse congress has been wrong and they were kicked out because of that . Now terrorist activity have come to zero no doubt it is a good job by bjp big other than that what have they given terrorism inside in form of hate spreading . Bro manmohan 2G scam or Rafael or bofors all are same bro all. Atleast manmohan gave us liberal policies . Yes they messed it up so we taught them a lesson same we should do to the bjp
@@malihsyed3257 .....it's not about BJP or congress.....my point is why was Manmohan so helpless....had he even threatened to resign, these same buggers would have been begging and rolling on his feet.........Modi , Manmohan, gandhis....none of these damn idiots is even worth a speck of dust of this nation.....
Real Hero
Why didn't MR. SINGH MET U AFTER HE READ YOUR BOOK, SANJAY SIR please reply
I am a Modi supporter. I must say that even though the act by Anupam Kher as Dr Singh was decent and maybe even good, the overall movie was a disappointment.
Somehow the movie does not seem to be getting its holistic view right. It places 2 much emphasis on Constant tussle between NAC and govt.
All said and done, it cannot be denied that there is truth to people saying that Dr Singh was spineless as he was 2 soft on politically hot potato issues. As a PM, his stamp should have been final on all policies. Unfortunately, his soft spoken nature exacerbated his downfall.
2 more points are that it cannot be denied that the so called mother son duo consider Congress party and India as their personal fiefdom. Congress party is simply not realising the way it is failing not just itself but the country at large by still hanging on to the Gandhi clan! Somehow people seem to be euphoric about the entry of Mrs Vadra now! If anything, it’s a sad day for Congress at large!
Even if u ask a non bjp, non Modi supporter, the country by and large thinks that the Gandhi clan is synonymous with corruption and mal governance! Simply attacking Modi and not portraying your vision for country wont really help Congress!
When Rahul could have given an opportunity to the next generation of congress leadership after winning the historic elections in Hindi heartland he chose to make 70+ year olds as CM’s. sending a flippant twitter msg at 8am in the morning not really help congress. When important decisions are supposed to be made, this is where Rahuls immaturity comes to the fore.
The last point being that journalists like Siddharth of the Wire very proudly display at the end of the programme to support “independent journalism”, but if u look at the interview, it has become abundantly clear hearing the questions where the so called “independent journalists” allegiances lie! Everything is a critique.!
There’s no objectivity left in journalism. Swarajya supports BJP and “independent journalists” like Wire support Congress. What irritates me is that hypocrites like this above journalist think of us Indians as idiots and who do not know what’s going on.
When you Wire supports Congress I also see it supports a family and when Swaraj supports BJP it supports country. It's my personal view but yes I believe that journalism must be unbiased to all parties.
This is called freedom of speech, BJP supporters will never allow any writers to write such type of book.
Have you not heard of Shashi Tharoor's book? When people who are in power are sincere in their efforts they have nothing to fear from people who want to pull them down.
Bhai in many places in India congress people were stopping the screening of the movie , go and check out on net and then comment about freedom of speech by your congress party
Hahha, all the leftists/communists are hell burnt. Hahhahaha, the leftists/JNU Brigade is going mad.
Honestly.... My respect towards Dr. Manmohan Singh has grown after watching the movie... The biased critic world made the movie flop.
It was actually a good political movie
Why is Sanjay Vardharajan trying to defend NAC, which was an extra-constitutional body created by the fiat of Sonia Gandhi ?
You mean Siddharth Vardarajan?
It is not sanjay vardahrajan....siddharth Vardharajan
You nailed it Dr. Baru, every question was answered smartly though in every single question Mr. Vardarajan was trying to put words in your mouth. I totally disagree with Vardarajan where he says that the movie represents Dr. Singh as a puppet in fact I started respecting Dr. Singh after watching the movie. I think he was chosen to use as a puppet by Sonia Gandhi but Mr. Singh showed courage and fought for the county's welfare, he was a patriot, I am going to read the book soon and hope would find many other great things about Mr. Singh. Here Mr. Varadarajan talks about propoganda like he is not trying a propganda to take Mr. Baru down by this interview and to criticize BJP and by doing so he actually is insulting Mr. Singh's intent and intel. Mr. Vardarajan, if not on your thinking at least work on your body language, anyone can see your anxiety and excitement to prove Mr. Baru wrong. Now this is what happens with oversmart people like you, I am going to read the book because you are trying to demean Mr. Baru, the same thing happened when congress tried to tell people that the book is full of lies. Finally what can be expected from Wire, there was a time when a woman with codenamed Vano controlled media by money and now this is happening in this era again.
SV's reaction at 19:15 is priceless.
reading between the lines when he says - No writer is happy with movie of his book! The movie goes beyond the book!
He plainly tells the audience.. I have sold rights and plainly washed my hands off it. If you want to check mismatch between movie and book, buy my book.. it will be a win win situation for me!
As mentioned in the climax of the movie, Sanjaya Baru have not met Dr. Singh until now, after publishing the book?
In the movie they have tried to match all the characters physical outlook except for Sanjay baru played by Akahay khanna. Why??
Nice Talk.
What are you talking about Mr Baru when you say you are responsible for d book but not for d film? How clever of you Mr Baru? But your slip is showing. When you signed d contract selling d rights of d book and d contract was that the film makers will take liberties with d book, you WERE responsible for permitting them to distort d book the way they wanted. Do you think Mr Baru we your listeners are fools? Sophistry can expose itself and it does expose itself here.
And he is a media savvy person. He was aware that the timing of the book release was a commercial decision. So he knew full well what would happen when he signed off film rights without control of the story. He is lying through his teeth. Methinks he doth protest too much
Excellent mr baru... Interviewer ls biased in his views...continuesly trying his best to impose his thoughts on baru..But he replied in such a great manner
One thing should be learned by Sanjay Baru that we should not believe anyone blindly specially in politics.
Watch from 34 min Sidharth got nice slap .... Baru should have also asked about his leftist propoganda channel ... Before talking about this film propoganda 😋😊
Waiting for a film on accidental husband
Peter Mundackal: While Sanjay Baru may have been true to his experiences, he had a moral obligation to point out the deviations made and liberties taken by the film makers, in painting an uncomplimentary picture on Dr Manmohan Singh.
Old people writing books full of lies for a buck and to stay relevant. Sad 🥀
Interviewer tried his best to make Baru agreed that this film is total rubbish and that the concept of National Advisor Committee was not bad. Successfully confronted by Baru...after all he is a journalist too and a bold one.
Baru made his point. Unfortunately here, Varadadarajan looks like an apologist. It's good that the wire drew the line. Thanks for pointing out that Sonia's character was not shown in the same light in the book as is portrayed in the film.
Appointment of Baru in PMO is most flaw by Dr. Singh as PM, Unfaithful, unethical, no integrity, Morals, Cheat of High office, Sold his Soul for money. How dare Baru comment on successful PM of India. Police should take suamoto action on treachery of confidence, security, secrecy of PM, to ridicule Dr. Singh.
The journalist is trying his best to steer the interviewee towards his views that this film is bad and a propaganda, but Mr. Baru is smart, he is not budging a bit. He is very neutral and has his thoughts on the issue very clear; which is not sitting well with the journalist.
This man breached the trust that is expected from those assume important public offices and have access to the critical informations in term of national interest..Today he wrote book on internal functioning of government for commercial gain tomorrow by taking inspiration from his work any other person can come forward to disclose other kind of secret informations of national interest for commercial gain..Act of this man is blatant betrayal
Big mistake Mr. Sanjay Baru just too good for Mr. Sidhart
Siddharth is on some pain.... almost bleeding inside 😂
I have watched the movie. It was really nice. People will say lot of things without knowing the real truth. Let them bark as we can't change their mind.
The man calls himself Siddhartha when in reality, he is at best Robinson's Friday.
Wire tried its best.......failed, just couldn't breakthrough....A good demo of Propaganda vs Facts and its winner.
It takes guts to write a book which unmasks the faces.
The interview feels like someone trying to cover their bits when they suddenly realise that they came out in public not wearing anything. Feel sorry for the Wire.
How clever...,in the name of beyond the book(dramatization), u portray things to the ugliest propaganda extent...thats the karma..the reason why, film devastated in the theaters even after all kinds unprecedented promotions to the film...never been a supporter of Congress, but its very strange that how worse Modi has been as a PM...People are inclining towards Rahul Gandhi
Agreed
Couldn't agree more.
It's painful to watch the movie not because it's propaganda but how badly a prime minister of India was treated by the ruling family and how can a man take up so much abuse, holding the highest office in the country.
I think Manmohan Singh did not like confrontation and the family very well knew this and used it to their advantage.
How the author came to know about the context of the conversation held between two.
Sanjay Baru should thank BJP in a way. Publicity driven by BJP on the book has taken its national presence to a historic level!
Vardarajan is a bright man, but because of the undying loyalty to the Family displayed by him and people like him from the Lutyen's circus, people have lost faith in them and have started listening to right of centre news channels
Has the movie gone for oscar...or his book won booker prize
Memoirs are not eligible for the Booker Prize, in case you didn't know that.
