Ante Sundharanaki is one of my favourite film.. if Naani didn't do that nobody would did that film in Telugu.. i am tamilan and my father don't know who is Naani is , but he also enjoyed that film
@@sriharit.k8973 if you blame audience for not coming to theatres it's counter productive. As much as it's a good film they should sell the movie to make people leave their countless responsibilities to sit in the theater for 2 hrs.
Ante Sundaranki is one of the best movies I have watched. I think the audience let that film down I feel bad that he thinks this way. I hope he does more film like that
I loved all Vivek athreya movies Yes. he's best screenplay writer Mental madhilo Brochevarevarura recognised as no.1 screenplay in 2019 Ante sundaraniki i watched fdfs and i just loved it 💥 Now looking forward to Saripodha sanivaram
soo wholeome. Love how your interviews are just casual conversations and also bringing so many interesting topics. Nani and Suryah are so cute, and i'm pretty sure onscreen they will create havoc. Thanks for this Bharadwaj ji.
The best part of watching Nani's movies? You feel like you're watching his best film to date and then the next one tops it. I thought Ashta Chamma is unbeatable until Pilla Jamindar happened. Same thing with Ante sundaraniki and then dasara happened. Before you let that sink in, we got Hi Naanna, which was his best work. I know for a fact that it's only a matter of 1 or 2 movies before the next best movie happens. Can someone crack good movie scripts like Nani does? How does he keep doing that. 🙏🏻 He's an inspiration.
I absolutely love Ante Sundaraniki, but I think the film would have done well in box office, if the teaser and trailer were cut differently. Like Nani said, the teaser set the expectation that the film is going to be full of fun and comedy. And people came in to the theaters with that expectation.
Nani, Ante deserved the Actor Nani. It would've been a let down had any other actor would've done it. But what you said is bang on. It's the regular expectations that people had for you, despite your persistent efforts to not put you in a box😅.
We really enjoyed ante sundaraniki..and waiting for saripodhaa sanivaaram and we love you for your wide spectrum of filmography ,do films as you said which feeds artist in you . As you announce films we always looks for something new and something to cherish. Don't commit to story which only feeds star image as all routine stars does.
Do yourself a good service and please go thru all his interviews in entirety. This man is not just very good at reviewing but he's also one of the only critics that casually brings out the best sides of celebrites and make them speak about their crafts in best ways possible. Yea lately he's seeming saturated with a number of interviews with yesteryear artists but many of Bharadwaj rangans interviews are splendid.
Ante sundaraniki the narrative, screenplay and the edit pattern were really spot on. I had smile and a beautiful feeling all throughout when I watched it in Mumbai. But nani i disagree on the part which u said that it didn’t do good enough at box office bcoz of you. You absolutely convinced us that the star image never fell through while watching ante.
The problem was it released in the wrong time. There were couple of other Pongal blockbusters unfortunately. He couldn't secure more theatres. I went to the theatres for this and felt mixed for it. Later I watched it again on OTT felt more positive.
When Nani said that it's his mis casting might be the failure of ante sundaraniki , Shiv kartieyan interview in galatta plus is remembered as he said the same thing for " Prince"
Nani and Surya has given more spoilers about the movie than the one required. They are enjoying the conversation with BR and would given details about scenes if it is off screen.
Please do an interview with Priyanka Mohan. It will be an opportunity to know more about her journey cause u are the only one who ask interesting and serious questions to heroines. Plus, as an outsider, she is already very succesfull and has an interesting filmography and line up coming. I really want her to be interviewed by u with relevant questions
Dear Bharadwaj sir You need a title for S J Suryah sir, right. Here is one, "Anatomist of Movies". The way he is analysing things and explaining it is really awesome. And he is a walking dictionary of movies. He is dissecting everything and he is just showing analogies and homologies (scientific terms we use) without even the movie being released. He is a movie school. He is MOVIE SCHOOL, I repeat again. Period!!
Usually I agree with Nani's perspective but he was soooo wrong with Ante Sundaraniki. It was such a refreshing film with not a single dull moment and high repeat value. The drama, comedy, music everything worked! And the Tamil dub was so good that I liked it even more than the original, probably because the slang was more relatable.
Another interesting possibility that could have happened regarding tamil. Surya's Saturday could have been Surya's SUNDAY in tamil. So that Surya and Sun are same as well as "Sunday அன்னைக்கு சண்டய போடணும்" would have become literally true.
Sj Suriya has a great view on cinema. Furthermore, his claim that every movie uses the same template is completely correct. Please, SJ, direct a film once more.
Brilliant reason by Nani One of reasons current movies don't satisfy you. Every shot every scene trying to pander to you and it's off putting We come to see a story and experience is nice only when one shot is chosen as best, it all feels coherent, something of an experience
i love sjs sir and his acting is just amazing i think one national award is waiting for you sir hopefully oru content oriented story like jai bhim or premalu oru verum content with more acting scope and zero masala effects will do it to get his maiden national award
A friend of mine recently pitched a story to Nani. Nani and his team actually showed some class by listening respectfully. But when my friend tried pitching to Nikhil just a week ago prior to Nani, he was insulted and mocked with Nikhil arrogantly saying not to bother him unless the budget was 100 crores and the movie was a pan India project with Hinduism elements. This is exactly why Nani outshines the rest of the Telugu actors.
@@Ajayyaja is producers still looking for routine commercial films or looking for new stuff.Also what feedback did Nani team gave to your friend.Thanks for reply
One of the main reasons why ante worked for me and it is one of my all time favs is because I never had any expectations on the movie and I don’t see Nani as a “star”.
So sad that people praise and encourage Balayya's non sense action movies and make it a success but a movie like Ante Sundaraniki is regarded as a failure.
Nani is literally the only Telugu actor who actually knows how to act. He's going to leave a lasting legacy on the industry. While everyone else in Telugu is trying to make movies for North India, Nani is the only one making movies for Telugu people. I don't like Telugu movies and I don't watch them but I'll watch anything Nani is in. The Telugu industry is super lucky to have him. He their only hope
@@bhogarajusrikar4543He took on a villain role in a movie even though the story wasn't great. Can you name a tier one star who has done that? He teamed up with Vivek again, despite the fact that Ante was a box office failure. Now, he's working with Srikkanth, even though Dasara faced criticism. Can you name a top actor who continues to work with a director after experiencing failure? He has played the role of a father twice in his career. Can you name a tier one star who has done the same? While his peers are making gangster, patriotic, and devotional movies for North India, and when people weren't even going to theaters, he brought us Hi Nanna and proved everyone wrong. Can you name a tier one star who would take such a gamble by playing a father in a soft role? There’s so much more about Nani, brother. I’m working as an AD and I know firsthand how some aspiring directors and even those who made their first movie spread negativity about Nani just because he rejected their scripts.
Only❌ One of the✅ I am a fan of Nani but it is really foolish to say that he is the only Telugu actor who actually knows how to act. Everyone in Telugu industry is making films for North India❌ Telugu industry is making films for India & north, east, west, south people loved and owned them✅ Telugu industry is lucky to have him✅.

You don't watch Telugu movies but still you don't like them? what is that? Telugu is a commercial filmmaking industry but you have to explore it fully for good films.. Telugu makes all kinds of movies but other industries watch the mainstream commercial films and judge the whole industry.. There are wonderful actors in Telugu besides Nani but you are ignorant or have preconceived notions of what acting is..
31:38 In vikram Kamal sir comes when? at the freaking interval.. It was a hit. Hero coming late has never been a problem.. For me the screenplay was a bit confusing...
