He is the only Reviewer I trust 🔥♾
Baradwaj Rangan is one the best interviewer to listen to...And it's really interesting to see even the greatest filmmakers talk to him with so much passion.
Thanks Film Companion...🙏❤️
Yes correct..can I have your number
A very down to earth person. Interviewer also asked good quality questions. Thanks
Very good questions that brought interesting and sensible answers from BR.
Barath is great. Always inspiring
I may or may not watch a movie but I make it a point to read his reviews. So it was disappointing to see that there were no subtitles.
Best Critic in the world bhardwaj ranjan sir
BR has already said how he ended up writing Conversations with Mani Ratnam
Nice interview.
Have been reading BR' blog reviews since the early 2000s, when he was still in a corporate job.
Good insight into films and film reviewing. Very important to be able to watch all types of films by entering that world.
Whereas the regular film goer would watch a film either because of the director who made it or the cast and crew they like. Not a lot of people are immediately willing to watch a film they know nothing about or they don't know who the cast and crew is.
Would like to know about how it all started. An insight into his childhood, BITS Pilani engineering background to corporate job life to taking the plunge to becoming a movie reviewer.
Watch his bigil and kaithi review
Then u know he is a bias reviewer
@@girubhakart7107 he is not... sometimes it seems..but it's their openion which didn't go ur way
@@saktiprasadswain6546 it's my openion that's doesnot get ur way that he is bias
Proud to be an Malayali 🌴
After Kamal Haasan.. I think Ajith did a variety of roles regardless of heroism/socialism/positivity in character and doing so till date.. Very Very Underrated.. Citizen Athipatti role, Varalaru with feminine touch, Villain disabled character, Mugavari depressed performance, Mangatha badass and lot lot more.. He trusts the director's vision and I don't think any other Hero would dare to do such roles and pull it of like him.. Even Vikram denied the Varalaru role.. After all I am a fan of Vijay since childhood but Ajith is unique daring ultimate star
also guest roles in other hero's movies!!!!
Aamai spotted
Malayalam film industry is amazing
malayaliya le.
Sir, please attach the subtitles. It helps people like me.
Neekenduku ra puka
The need to place an actor high up the altar is pathologically high in the Tamil crowd ...
This is how MGR, JJ could establish a political base in TN politics: what is their acting/political prowess otherwise? The language gets atrociously narcissistic when our crowd calls the above sinname, sigarame, etc ... Is it necessary? The trend sadly continues with Vijay, Ajith, etc too. And our menfolk will get excessively defensive because I criticise the above ...
All Rajnikanth has to do is to display swag at every turn: not act. The crowd is happy. The crowd gets slightly intellectual when it comes to Kamalahassan but still far from reviewing him technically. And sadly speaking, a whole lot would shame the latter over the former on personal grounds. I pray the above changes.
Given that he has to review ALL movies, not just the good ones... I cry for this man
I mean, just think about all the junk churned out just to burn money to avoid paying I.T.
Brilliant interview
I agree with your point of view towards Heroism in Tamil Cinema. I think many actors are afraid of leaving their comfort zone because they give importance to safety. I also wish that they would experiment more and would take some "risks". I think some of them have to get off their high horse and become actors rather than heros.
An actor is someone who should be able to play any chatacter which is given to him/ her.
And yes the old formula/pattern gets boring sometimes that the main lead is always the good one, but these are roles which actors like Vijay and Ajith prefer to play.
Even when they start the film the "Hero" being the rowdy at the end it always turn out him being the good guy and everything what he deos is right.
Maybe they learned some lessons from last decade from Movies like 96 or Super Deluxe etc.
And perhaps we see some changes and surprises in this decade😊
And also some new faces😉
Baradwaj Rangan : I watch 50 movies a month
me : I watch blue sattai maran every weekend!!
those who are like me..., like.. comment
those who dont...

You are critic watching 50 films...but I'm an unemployed engineer.. I'm watching 120 movies per month from Amazon,netflix,hotstar,tamilrockers,theatre,youtube....exactly 4 to 5 movies a day ....from Tamil,english,malayalam,hindi,bengali,marathi,Japanese,korean,chinese,thai,iranian,egyptian,brazilian,spanish,french,mexican,russian,portuguese,urdu movies nu degree mudichu 5 months ah epdi dha poitu irku......
BR in Savage mode.
his voice is so different when he speaks tamil
Wow! BR sir! Your interview!
He is soft towards Big Stars and Directors but Blue Shirt Maran never spare anyone.
This is merun shirt rangan
Who is he to spare them???his reviews are nonsense....if movie is not good also,there is certain way to talk abt it nd review it...wat he is doing is not reviews....he is a cheap fellow nd he is just doing for views of star heroes haters....no comparison with BR
Because they are putting their money in it.
Let the Movie of blue sattai get released.. after that, we will see, still he gives the same review or close the channel n disappear...
I watch more than 50 movies in a month.. Sometimes 4 movies a day...
subtitles please...
Good interview!
Wish there were English Subtitles.
I too watch 50-60/month global cinema from Tamil to bengali to korean to isreali to argentianian & been doing it for over 2 decades before the netflix started . His reviews sense are good however he is quite biased on several occasions & shows a lot of superiority complex by looking down on commercial cinemas
See bigil viswasam review
Many people are against him for liking commercial films like Bigil, Sarkar and Viswasam. And the word bias doesn't make sense here because his review is not about whether the audience would like it or not, it's about his perspective of the movie. Even is he is the only 1 who liked/hated the movie, he is going to give his thoughts even if it doesn't match with the audience. We can say his opinion is not what majority audience felt but bias is not the right word
BR and selfie review Karthi would make a really great combo
Want Baradwaj to review Avane Srimannarayana....
I too feel like movies like Njan prakashan, Mahashinte pradhikram, Kumblangi nights kinda movie have to come in Tamil Cinema
Its already in Malayalam
Why you need it in tamil
Its not watchable in theatre's its meant for mobiles and laptops.You go to a theatre to have a different experience and you should feel like you are in different world.Malayalam just show the reality of life and some of them are dragged.
Movies like Asuran,Kaithi,KGF should be made in tamil Industry.It has a potential to create a world like Bahubali and KGF in large scale.
@@MadMax-on3hs well said bro
@@MadMax-on3hs well we have big budget movies too like lucifer which is not shits like bigil
3:01 Title content ❗❗🤙
20:00 proud to be a malayali.
Excellent 🙂
Watch his bigil and kaithi review
Then u know he is a bias reviewer
@@girubhakart7107biased towards what? Explain pls
@@girubhakart7107 biased towards what? Treating a masala movie as a masala movie or expecting top notch writing from the guy who wrote managaram. This is called double standards, not bias.
@@imonceagainaskingforyourfi4432 super bro.
@@girubhakart7107 the word bias doesn't have any context here. Even if he is the only who didn't like a film which everyone else loved, he is not going to change is opinion. It's his perspective and his reviews are from his point of view and not whether the audience liked it or not
You missed out Ajith he can also play both sides. And has given up a nice mass image sometimes at least. Like in Mankatha and Vaali and other such movies.
50 movies a month.. BR does a lot of hardwork....
Bharadwaj Rangan, iam your st.johns classmate, ravikanth here.
V Ravikant hello Mr Ravikanth, how do you do
@@lakshansendhur8614 iam fine here. How are you?
I watch 30-40 movies a month
Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Kannada, Bengaali, Marathi, Punjabi, English, European, Korean, Iranian
I can understand what BR goes through while watching that number of movies 😁
Watch his bigil and kaithi review
Then u know he is a bias reviewer
@@girubhakart7107 oh yeah I watched the movies first later watched his reviews and gave up watching his reviews I even commented will never watch any of his movie reviews again
Girubhakar T i think it depends from where you see. I think i get his perspective. When you see bigil it's probably one of the very few movies where vijay takes a back step and let others to do some heroism. And comparing to other "successfull" vijay movie it was better . On other hand kaithi was Lokesh film who did managaram, there was a high expectation on realism even though kaithi is better movie. I also felt that he could have lost some commercial values , I expected same from the director.
Again every human has a bias on movies , thays why he explained why just because he likes it you don't have to like it. But that can give you an insight.
@@ursyedis ofcourse avar sonnadhu odd aa thonale aana yenakku general aa padam paakama reviews paarka palakam illa
BR videos of interviews with actors and Q&A videos about particular movies idhu mattum kandipaa paarpen
Bigil padam lengthy aa irundhadhu, sila scenes over the commercial unnecessary aavu irundhadhu and mukhiyama Chak De influences clear aa theriyudhu movie was fine I watched Bigil on release date Khaithi adutha naal paarthen
Overall the way BR considered Bigil as a whole package didn't seem correct for me
@@ursyedis watch his kaithi review
Namma cinema la Irukura lead actors la romba kammi compared with Telugu & Malayalam cinema. Below 30 actors romba romba kammi
Add English subtitle please
dude subtitles
Subtitles!

I watched 100 films in a month lol
I watch one movie per month, not 50. So, your reviews does not suit me. Moodu
His interview doesn't suits so ....u
Fuck off then. Why r u watching this interview?
Improve your language. It's his profession to watch movies everyday. Where is the need to be crass?
My neighbor does not have any work, he watches 100 movies in a month., world cinema, mayiru cinema etc.Does that mean he is genius? He tells 99 of them bad. So, I watch one as a smart guy. Dei padam paakuthu oru polappunu vanthutaanunga vetty payaluva
Dr D. Natarajan , tell me one useful thing from this mottaiyan. Watching 50 movies in a month is a achievement? Vetty paya.
Why do people say flims?
Very average reviewer..bcos of his good English he is known.. always had a doubt on him as he said bigil is a good movie..
Do you think no one other than him liked Bigil?
I think bigil is average movie that fails on many areas..but a critic must not be evaluated based on how much he agree with you...it is how he understands the movie and the way he evaluates it that makes him special
Not a biased reviewer, he is more of paid reviewer..he said petta not good,but bigil good..we know the reasons..one good thing is his movie review not more than 50k views..not many watch him..
@@aravindr6784 what logic is that?can't he like one movie and hate other?just because the hated one has a star you like doesn't mean he is paid..and as a regular reader of his writings,i know his immense respect for Rajini..He has written pieces about intro scenes of rajini and rajini mania and all.regarding views,which english reviewer has more than 50k views?and he is more of a writer than video reviewer..do you know he has won the National award for best reviewer?
@@aravindr6784 Also petta was not a negative review..it was more like okayish opinion..He is a fan of both karthik subbaraj and rajini..so he felt petta was neither a proper rajini film nor a proper KS film..it is his opinion.. Regarding Bigil,he hated both Theri and Mersal and had low expectations for Bigil anf was surprised it turned out better than expected (for him)
