  • The Film Companion annual adda is back and this time we take it to Chennai. For our first-ever pan-India Filmmakers’ Adda, Anupama Chopra brought to the table Kamal Haasan (Vikram:- Producer), SS Rajamouli (RRR:- Director), Lokesh Kanagaraj (Vikram:- Director), Swapna Dutt (Sita Ramam:- Producer), Prithviraj Sukumaran (Jana Gana Mana:- Producer), and Gautham Vasudev Menon (Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu:- Director). These directors and producers who are the names behind some of 2022’s biggest and most successful films dissected what goes into making the mass entertainer, how they created some of the most iconic visuals in their films, how they measure risk, and the scenes which gave them sleepless nights.

      i mean its pretty obvious. Malayalam films have always had superior movies (in terms of stories and acting and script) when compared to other film industries in India for a long long time now..
      The mid 60s-70s emergent art-house scene and the then new wave 80s golden era where art and commercial styles was successfully integrated while every other film industry couldn't even understand what it meant. The 2 Big Ms rise and peak with great writers-directors and supporting actors and now the 2010- present day New wave Renaissance. Only the 2000-2010 decade was dark days for us in the last 50 years or so when the 80s era started stagnating and rotting.
      But yea otherwise if u strip the budget factor away Malayalam cinema has always been superior to others and Malayalees should be the last people surprised about it.

      This is a good talk filled with very intelligent and accomplished people overall amazing but 12:30 I don't understand how these very intelligent people cannot grasp that Hindi cinema encompasses a region of over 1.4 billion people including the Urdu speaking Pakistanis, Dari speaking Afghanis who grew up watching Bollywood cinema as the afghans had no large homegrown industry, Nepalis who similarly had no homegrown industry capable of competing with Bollywood and Bangladeshis who prefer to watch bollywood films over their own films...while all 4 of the southern industries have to compete for a region of 270 million... It's unfathomable how much more of an audience Hindi cinema has yet still these 4 smaller regional cinema industries are capable of producing films that are even bigger hits... Same with the "overseas" market he was talking about and how he was wondering how hindi cinema has captured it? Theirs over 18 million Hindi speakers outside of South Asia including overseas pakistanis and populations like Fiji or the millions of Punjabis and Biharis who were taken as indentured servants and are now large populations in South Africa, Trinidad, Guyana, Mauritius... The overseas population of South Indians outside of South Asia is barely a third of that. Their is no comparison it's insane how much the 4 regional cinemas are overperforming compared to how much Hindi cinema is underperforming.

It always used to go in a chain Malyalam - Tamil - Telugu - Hindi and they'd go on to be huge hits.

      There are definitely directors with vision but Bollywood is very risk averse. The producers in Bollywood don't like betting their money on anyone that doesn't guarantee a win. Otherwise, directors like Anurag Kashyap and Anubhav Sinha can make some great cinema if they get backing from the money people. But people don't give them money and don't trust their conviction after just one big failure.

Recently, Anupam Kher bought the remake of another Odia Film Pratikshya and I cannot Emphasize how I have been wanting Odia Film industry to grow from mindless and remake films and make a name of its own. We as an Odia audience appreciate a Drishyam and Interstellar in the same breath. I hope a giant production company comes into play and increase the Odia Film Market and remove all the notions about Odisha as a state. HOPE!

He was taken aback and though he didn't retaliate with bad appraisals and all, but he did stop talking about that subject thereafter.

      @S A I totally understand your point... But let me tell you, in my little experience of whatever Indian cinema is... Malayalam cinema just need one big film to give it a positioning.
      Rorschach and Churuli are good films no doubt but by going by today's market dynamics the collection may not be that much.. Understanding majority Indian audience wants to hoot and cheer but "for a reason" (by the way I'm watching Kooman right now 30 minutes in)
      Give them 1 such film to draw you in, let it be the eye puller and then anyway you have these good rooted movies which will sustain them to watch Malayalam movies.
      Why do we want to emulate a Korean cinema.. If an RRR tries to be something else, hasn't the authenticity of the masala genre being wronged??
      Please accept all kinds of cinema as cinema..

It's unfathomable how much more of an audience Hindi cinema has yet still these 4 smaller regional cinema industries are capable of producing films that are even bigger hits... Same with the "overseas" market he was talking about and how he was wondering how hindi cinema has captured it? Theirs over 18 million Hindi speakers outside of South Asia including overseas pakistanis and populations like Fiji or the millions of Punjabis and Biharis who were taken as indentured servants and are now large populations in South Africa, Trinidad, Guyana, Mauritius... The overseas population of South Indians outside of South Asia is barely a third of that. Their is no comparison it's insane how much the 4 regional cinemas are overperforming compared to how much Hindi cinema is underperforming.
