We can't really blame the public for Sonchiriya collapsing at the box office. The sole blaim lies with RSVP who not only marketed the movie terribly, they completely butchered the release. Shows didn't come online till Thursday night and Friday morning, the release was in barely 700 screens pan India with odd show timings. Plus then it turned out that more than half of the theatres are running a dubbed version which the actors have no idea exists.
Yes. The producers do not seem to have faith in the movie themselves
Yeah the dubbing ruins the experience of the film a little but the acting was so good I was somehow able to get get past that issue
You hv put it right Sanchit vrma
Correct.. even if you want to watch.. there is no proper show timings.. producer didn’t fight for the movie.. they never believed this could earn their money back.
dubbed version as in? I thought the movie was a mix of budelkhandi and hindi. I've no idea, hasn't released in theaters near me and waiting for it to come online
I think the main reason Luka Chuppi is doing soo well is the sudden hype around Kartik Aaryan and a huge amount of fangirling happening recently!😑
I think it has to do with people loving the small town light movie situations a lot.
@@r.22r the small town formula is gonna run dry pretty soon.. its becoming cliche anyways, you cant explore too many topics from a small town.... which direction will bollywood go next then???
Bareilly Ki Barfi and Raanjhanaa are set in small towns in India but people loved it because they had a strong script and story with heartfelt performances. Luka Chuppi was so idiotic and unrealistic
@@r.22r yeah maybe but many directors are making better, realistic and more entertaining films based in small towns too but they haven't done that good in box office. The kartik aaryan hype plus his success and charm with sonu titu does have a role here for sure
Aakriti bhattacharya I so agree with you.
I think #RSVP was busy basking in Uri’s success that they forgot to promote and get enough screens for #Sonchiriya🤔
Exactly.....how can one see it if it is not being screened in small cities?
Or even Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota
i wish my future is as glowy as Anupama's skin.
No lighting used for this video coz Anupama ma'am is already glowing so much!! Sonchiriya is what I'm looking forward to watch btw.
Nabeel Pbx watch it before it gets removed from theaters 😔
14:22 Anupama says..Kya Kool Hain Cum err Hum..and we all know why Sucharita laughs ..
Totally didn't notice this and now I'm ROFL
Lol I can't 😂
yess sucharita was like bechari ko kyu phasaye isme :)
Actually....
With the rate Anupama's skin is becoming shinier, one day she'll be able to outshine the Sun and replace Yami Gautam in a Fair n Lovely ad.
😂😂😂
Indeed. That black labrador was awesome in Teri Meherbaaniya
Man I've never felt this horrible about a film not doing well. Guys please please go watch sonchiriya. Also rahul I don't know how you kept you cool for that question at 15:22 . Why do you even answer these questions?
I went through the same feeling when bhavesh joshi superhero bombed at the box office
People are dumb, seriously dumb. Mindless craps rule and it's just been proved again.
@AGASTHYA just a thought - don't you think that was the point? Hero doesn't need to have charisma, he just need to do good and continue doing it however bleak the situation is, he doesn't Need tough ideal body to deliver justice and i think it was perfectly casted for. Whole point of the film was any one can be a hero- who never gives up
@AGASTHYA SPOILER ALERT!
Sole reason for it being flop is terrible promotion by rsvp
I watch these for Rahul Desai :)
This is shocking 😂
Me too
He is the best critic in india after Baradwaj Rangan
Sonchiriya is undoubtedly the best. But Why Public is ignoring such a masterpiece?
As they said when people go to cinema they want to escape from real world and relax and specially the last 3 weeks have been really difficult
cuz majority of human beings are stupid and shallow. what do you expect. cheap things attract most customers
Small town bank clerk SSC aspirants watch commercial films only
Bcz Indian don,t like intelligent
@@NonaPrince One thing is for sure that now people will think twice before making these movies.
buy a 360 degrees mic and put it above the table.
Trollers will troll but it's just your opinion about a movie which you convey through this channel so don't pay much heed and don't get much effected Anupama! Cheers to good films and honest reviews! 🤘
Yeah i think u r quite honest Anupama (a lil snobbish but honest :P) n clearly a hard core bollywood fan. U shudnt need to justify ur statements, haters gonna hate, just chill n glow :) film companion is a great channel!
Exactly!! They shouldn't be defensive at all
Guys let's go and watch sonchiriya this weekend.
Oh wow yr..Just loved this talk..And 🤗👏👏👏For appreciated the #Sonchiriya for his so hard work putted in the movie. And specially thanks #Sucharita for SSR❤🔥..Lovely comment. Found one who genuinely liked SSR in critic side.💥💥🔥
Sonchiriya does not release in so many theaters or get enough screens.. This is heart breaking. I really want to watch it but could not because I did not find suitable show time or theater near my location.
After I came to know golmal again was a massive hit I do not get shock when movies like total dhamal run well at b.o coz for me golmal again was crap I tries but couldn't watch it even on TV
One of the reasons for Sonchirya's failure might be the lack of music/album. Music helps keep the movie fresh in peoples mind since they're played on every radio/music channels and which makes the audience to check the movie. they've should have at least had one music track (remix hi sahi)
Also, I don't recall seeing the promos of the movie played on TV
exactly
The text reviews of Film Companion really do need good marketing because Rahul Desai's writing skills are just AMAZE. I read his reviews and think "how did he come up with that??" 👐🏻
These group sessions are way more fun to watch than some forced-down-the-throat 'comedy' like _Total Dhamaal_
And agree with Rahul here, _Dhamaal_ 2007 was actually quite funny in a juvenile kind of way
Why don't you guys do web series review?
there was a guy who used to do it, but he has vanished.
Rahul reviews web series check out his Twitter.
sonchiriya main fault is release,, a niche film needs an empty slot with no big film around and sonchiriya released with total dhamaal and luka chupi
True
Yes thats it!!
What's with all the static in audio? It's really a pain to watch the whole thing with earphones on.
Agreed. I thought there was something wrong with my headphones.
Sonchiriya again a proof of class of Indian audiences!!
I wished you talked more about Spielberg VS Netflix
What's wrong with them ???
Spielberg is against the notion that Netflix films should be considered for film awards as they are technically streaming movies with a short window at selected theatres.
So what's wrong with it ?
@@kaykaykarwa so there are some who support Spielberg but many feel its not right, a movie should be considered for oscars irrespective of how its available to watch and that it provides means to smaller directors and filmmakers to tell their story to the world, which in other case would not be possible due to fiancees. Some say spielberg being an orthodox cannot come to terms with it. In Speilbergs defense some say that netflix should be regulated fairly and they should be monitored on how much they spent on marketing there films
What is there to talk about? Clearly, Spielberg is a nut job that needs therapy.
You’ve convinced me to go watch Sonchiriya, thank you! I love this channel, thank you for this too :)
I’ve always wondered why a movie doing well at box office is believed to mean that it is being liked by the audience? It has happened to me so many times, when I have walked out of the cinema during or at the end of the movie feeling disappointed(Simmba)!! But the money is gone, the damage is done! So may be, us, the audiences should be not ‘blamed’ for the success of nonsensical movies like Simmba because we do not get to see them for free, and have no option but to risk it! :( #hindicinemafan
if you watch a lot of movies... then you might develop a natural instinct of differentiating good content over average ones from cast and trailers.. your judgement will improve and you wont have to take risks all the time.
Well you do have an option. You can read some reviews before you go!
Your reviews matter to me!!! Great going guys... Love this channel... All the best 👍👍👍
Luka Chhupi works cause there is an young audience for it, trying to speak in English and wish fulfilling their fantasies with these run of the mills movies that don't strain and stress their minds like their JEE and govt services exam papers. All of that goes against Son Chiriya. Sure, if your friend is generous enough to buy you a ticket for it, you would go watch it because you've heard so much praise from the critics. But, there is no push for it on its own to people who probably feel bad every time they spend money in cinemas.
/trying to speak in English and wish fulfilling their fantasies with these run of the mills movies that don't strain and stress their minds like their JEE and govt services exam papers. All of that goes against Son Chiriya./ That is just your hackneyed even vacuous stereotype about something which you do not understand , what does speaking a specific language has to do with selection of the movie can it be argued that so called existentialist drudge bordering on spiel like sonchiraya is made because supercilious psueds want to appear edgier by watching and expounding their narrow grasp on philosophy ? so try to gain some perspective .
@@amritanshuupadhyay8269 Dude! I am not passing a judgement here. I've lived and breathed among the young lot I've mentioned in my comment. This is an observation. I am only acknowledging the existence of a certain kind of audience for a movie like Luka Chhupi.
Personally, while I liked Manmarziyan, a part of me thought that the overt use of Punjabi affecting the movie made sense. Punjabi is not Hindi, and especially for people like me for whom Hindi, while we are comfortable at it, is a second language (and we are translating, in our minds), having to translate twice over is a difficult proposition.
Just give subtitles to quasi-Punjabi movies, guys. I don't have problems.
Totally agree with you
I was more heartbroken when sonchiriya did not do well than when my girlfriend broke up wid me😥😥😥
It wasn't thaaat difficult to watch. It wasn't gritty or there wasn't any rape or chopping biff heads scene. It's just that it was a real real movie. We read news headlines like father in law raped bahut and 12 year old child brutalized, these many men killed police men killed etc. If critics can't see that and look through how great that movie is which unapologetically talks about caste system, it doesn't Just talk about it, it portrays the caste system. I trust film companion for movie review and only if approved by you all watch the movie, however 3 starts was too less for a masterpiece like sonchiriya. It was such a deep movie. Nobody wins at the end. It's Just a shame that such an honest and unapologetically great movie isn't being received well. Even Gujjar falls prey To it at the end. Sonchiriya deserves 4 stars atleast.
I love this show..actually it's educating and not just entertaining...it's like a professor (anupama) discussing the subject with her students
I didn't even know about Sonchiriya until I heard it from Film Companion .
I legit wait for these! A question .. how do you analyse a movie just by seeing it once? I mean its so difficult!
Guys watch sonchiriya it's a very good movie support good cinema
If Kapil Sharma show is a hit tv comedy, then no surprises in total dhamal' s success.
Anupama and Sucharita are two very strong persona with always having a strong pov. And what i say about Rahul. Rahul is the only brave man with that cute face. Very very cute person.
This channel deserves millions of subscribers !!
TAME IMPALA I agree! How and why have people not discovered it yet?
@@chahatsekhon8761 because it's in english
i feel the same about C.I.D when he said "maybe i was dumb enough to like it because i was young".... interms of cid i can relate....haven't watched total dhamaal.
Sonchirya was a haunting gem!
Not being sarcastic i think all you three should start developing a script i am sure it will turn out very well.
Anupama is a writer, she has written many books and her husband is also a writer
very fair comment on having early reviews come in at least 4-5 days before the release. Consider how early movies are screened for critics in the west and Rotten Tomatoes score are updated a week before their public release. This can really help push quality cinema to a (comparatively) wider audience during this release. Also, who decides when the movie is screened for critics? Is it only the producers or can few critics push for an early preview of a movie?
people chose a movie like lukka chhupi over sonchiriya are the same justice for sushant lot
I would love to have Anupama talk about her diet and lifestyle ...like what she eats and what she doesn't ! She is glowing all the time and whatever she is doing is definitely working for her. Please share!
I loveee this segment.
Great... Desai u gave a gud review and no one watched so now ur take is u r sure that in future it will be liked . ..
i think i leave the same comment on every Let's Talk Movies, but these are my favourite videos to watch! please never stop making them :D
i saw sonchiraiya i enjoyed my time its really great dialogue and the slap on face of bhumi did hit hard its not depressing its impactfull go on if planing to
I do want to watch sonchiriya movie but the screen is only one in my city n luka chuppi got all other 7-8 screens so we went to watch luka chupi and liked it. When we went for sonchiriya the ticket price was way too higher than the luka chuppi so didn't watch the movie. Hope it comes online soon
Marketing of sonchiriya is very dull
My Annu Aunty is way beautiful than some fancy Bollywood actress.
I wish sonchiriya picks up at least through the word of mouth. There are some masterpieces for which words are not enough to describe. I wish more people watch it. Apart from poor marketing another reason for it not doing well is it's downright pathetic dubbed version which I had to bear in the theatre. It just takes away the essence of the movie. Agar dubbing karni hi thi to acchi tarah se karte, but this one had cringy dialogues. Bundelkhandi with english subs would have made much more sense. I hope it releases on either of the OTT platforms so that we could watch it in it's real form.
I just love this show
I have been listening to sonchiriya jukebox on a loop. Vishal bharadwaj is a different flavor of music. No one can do what he does. So, please don't say that the film had no music. It got fewer number of screens and, as always, majority of the audience is always interested in escapist cinema. But I am hopeful that movie will find its audience. I am looking forward to digital release as I couldn't watch it myself.
I just love this series on your channel. ☺️
Guys please work on your “ AUDIO”
Please please please!
I am great fan, and I think I can make this legit request.
More power to you!
I really love watching you guys 💕 Thankyou @filmcampanion 💕
Be careful if you are listening to this on your headphones. Jump scare around 17:52 :D
Sonchiriya is still watchable
Thanks guys for the reviews - Love
I agree with Rahul at 15:59 that reading reviews does lead you to going into the movie with a perspective, given that you trust the reviewers. I did not want to watch Simmba for obvious reasons and reviews from film companions helped assert that. However the crazy number the movie was making in the BO I had to watch it to know if I’m on the unknown. So now for movies with high hopes I listen to film companion, for massy movies I read one word review of Taran ardash on Twitter for that’s all I can bare of his analysis.
The "Three Musketeers" are back! It's intriguing and educational to listen all 3 of u talking about Hindi movies with so much passion and so much knowledge of cinema. But plz make a video on Oscar movies too. It would be great to know ur opinion on this year's Oscar nominated movies or anything related to Oscars.
In the theatre where I was watching Total dhamaal, kids were laughing and smiling, at the same time i was cringing every moment, was such a bad movie,made worse by Madhuri and Anil kapoor
But the question is why did you decide to watch the movie at the first place.. LoL
@@jnyanendrarajbongshi603 because I m rich and want to waste my money...lol
@Vidisha Roy actually no one knew Total Dhaamal would be such a bad film. Dhamaal and double dhaamal were comical enough, this one was a rip off :(
Plz Plz People watch SonChiriya and support this movie
It's a sad thing, I really wanted to watch Sonchiriya but there was no screening near me.🙂
I didn't watch Sonchiriya because I didn't even know the movie existed or was released this past weekend! I watched an iDiva video with Bhumi - figured she had a movie coming out so I googled it (big Bhumi fan) and was SO surprised that the movie was already screening at the cinemas!
If people wanna watch comedies, they should watch something like mard ko dard nahi hota
People should watch what they want to. Not what some random dude on the internet says.
@@abhishekkumar3679 that's just my opinion buddy. Obviously people can watch whatever they want but mard ko dard nahi hota is movie which has never been made before in Bollywood and majority of the people don't even know about it.
Loved this discussion.
I really love all your review..... but honestly I do decide to watch a movie in the theatre based on your review.....so you do influence my choice.. not sure about others 😉😉 .! Btw, the original movie of Badla, “invisible guest” is awesome.... and you must watch it ..before or after Badla ......😊😊
I was really looking forward to watching Sonchiraiya but cancelled the plan after Anupama's review and now I hear Sucharita praising it. I understand that Anupama could not connect with it. Given that, Sucharita should have reviewed the movie. Anupama's somewhat negative review hurt the movie. P.S.- Rahul Desai is such a darling.
You can still watch it. It's no a valid argument.
Keep up the good work🤩
Would like to see a Sonchiraiya web series..All the back stories
Last time we saw these three laughing because of movie not making fun of a movie was gully boy ☺love you ranveer singh, zoya, Anupama ..love you all ..
Alia Bhatt too :)
@@amritaoxymoron1944 and Alia too
personally though sonchiriya's failure is heartbreaking..bt lets not read too much into it..the nation is in a gloomy mind..had the film released a week or two after total dhamaal maybe it might have made a difference.. also reflecting upon the promotional part..i think they did quite well but the audience, unfortunately, wasn't interested... i am hoping against hope now that the photograph also doesnt meet with the same fate as it is rather horrendosly unpromoted..bt it was always going to be tough to sell such films...even with a young superstar at the helm like an R.k or R.s it wd hv bn tough... bt 2 things are for sure ronny wd continue backing such efforts,as he should, because he has made enough from uri to atleast take 2 more mid budget disasters like these..and i think this film wd be talked more about towards the year end as i think this year would do the same for S.S.R as 2017 did for Rajkumar and 2018 did for vicky and ayushman... with 2 or 3 releases this yr and this performance to back up his credentials ..hoping that its going to be a sushant yr
Sonchiriya released this Friday 2 weeks after Gully Boy. What are you even saying???
@@nikitamohan3390 thanks for correcting me i meant total dhamaal..since gully boy exactly when on the verge of release was considered as box office friendly as it turned out to be
@@rahultiwari-dx8qo So SonChiriya released 1 week after Total Dhamaal
Anupama, your reviews do matter. The recent movie I convinced my husband to watch was Gully Boy.
Great conversation. But I cannot still wrap my head around the fact that you can’t pronounce a popular Indian/regional language like Telugu (tolluguu according to sucharita). It was tough for me to even spell the way she said it 🤦♂️😒
So first things first, I NEED to see reviews before going to theatre, but I'm sure that is not the case for many. More than reviews, it is the trailer that should excite me. I'm sure most people these days go by trailers, that is something you guys should discuss next time (in context to what decides the fate of movies).
Tumbadd had a second inning on Amazon Prime and only because anybody who saw gave rave reviews. I hope same happens with Sonichiraiya (fewer people watch Netflix).
Team... possible please add subtitles...👍🏼
I just finished watching " burning ''... What a fantastic Korean movie
Where is 'ON THE ROAD'
At 4:42...rahul says that Saathiya was a film based on Live In relationship but he is incorrect...in Saathiya, vivek’s and rani’s character are already secretly married first as shown in a song and then they move out of their homes to live together. You can say Wake Up sid was kind of Live In relationship film in which Ranbir and Konkana live in a flat as friends and then fall in love.
Salaam Namaste before Wake Up Sid, but admittedly it wasn't based in India.
Could it just be because if the choice of films which we had at the theatre..a dark existential film a uplifting stupid comedy..i told my friend I watched sonchiriya over Luka chupi his response was 'why!? It's a dark film'. I think irrespective of the time we live in audience would consider watching a comedy over a drama, unless drama had some relative aspects to it like gully boy which had that underdog story which everyone dreams about.
you need better friends bro
Pankaj Tripathi chose the rule!! DAMN, what is wrong with Anupama. He loves playing different characters.
Exactly. And he was so good in that.
That’s what she said, he didn’t deserve to play such an unimportant character, moreover in an interview with Anupama he said that he did that role because the producer or director was his friend and requested him to do it.
Sonchiriya was a wonderful movie lots of hard work from the team gone waste release in ott platform felt sorry fr all who have given their blood and sweat look at the cinematography was it easy to film just sheer bad luck make it a cult atleast a tribute to the hard work fr the makers perfect fr the big screen viewing
Nice conversation, but I feel like the camera is a little further away than it could be.
@anupamachopra ma'am i feel the " INDIAN BOARD EXAMS" also affect in terms of watching the films like sonchiriya only if students would have been free we might have really crashed the cinemas
Awesome video ❤
A very good conversation
When stars come on your show they talk a lot of sense and meaningful things but why they choose the crap scripts? Ask next time #UselessBollywood
Do not talk on the whole .. Bollywood produces wonderful movies .. Watch gully boy
@@doaa8232 yeah I watched it whatever
Its so true. I guess money rules all
I agree! How can they not realise?!!
Bollywood is full of hypocrisy
Perhaps you guys are right that your opnions does not account to box office numbers, But what we see from past two week is that Scrap like Total Dhammal get success and sonchiriyan do not gets love it deserves is actually worrysome. You guys talked about early access to movies but I don't think that will help as total dhammal is scoring numbers in second week. The problem is that people favours light entertaining films with big stars, music and there is no craft and art that caters to this genre. Indian movies has to make more good movies in to this categary.
Sonchiriya is a must watch movie !
I loved 'Sonchiriya'. I hated 'Luka Chuppi'. And I skipped 'Total Dhamaal'.
I agree to Sucharita. There is so much going on in the country right now that we are looking for some relief in comedy films. Even if it's not that good
Hi all please make a segment on Oscars 2019
Somehow I relate most with Rahul’s views, may be because of same age group or don’t know what. But Rahul, Marvel is also fun 😛
But, pleeeeeeease watch "The Invisible Guest" afterwards..it's an amazing movie..
I feel the movies which are more indie type and dies not gave that much of marketing budget and they are absolutely fav... critics make the difference...Soni I watched because of Anupama spoke about it...came to know about Gupi Gawaiya And Bagha bajawiya only because of the film companion article and watched it yesterday..they do make a diff to smaller gem of a movie
How to become what you are ?
add subtitles or enable captions
I watch movies on the bases of your review.
Marketing is a very important part of movies and entertainment industry.
