Sarpatta parambarai, Doctor and Maanaadu movies proved , Content is king. Content is the crowd pulling factor to theatres....I went to theatre and watched Doctor and maanaadu twice.
I wish even beast and Valimai comes out in same way, giving importance to script not hero's image.
@@deekesh7321 In other interview, Director VP was insisting on the same. Star actors should start looking into new ideas and fresh scripts, rather than making mass movies with old scripts. As you said, if that should be the case for Beast or Valimai, it should be a huge leap in Tamil movie Industry.
bro doctor unmailiye nalla iruncha suthama logic ilaadha angaanga comedy avaldha bro
Not doctor
I don't like doctor movie... disappointed
Rangan Vaathiyaar is so bursting with fanboy energy and VP knows it and cannot help but smile about it.
VP talking non stop actually
It's actually the other way round seeing VP so excitedly talking 🙂
Very true
😅😅😅
Chennai 28 part 2 is one of the best sequel in my opinion. If not more, I always at least value it as much as drishyam 2. The way part 1 music and characters were used to make the connect and the overall screenplay was brilliant. Such an under-rated product ❤️ #chennai28part2
drishyam 2 is overated imo
"Ayyo SI sir Ulla fullah paithiyama iruku"
@@mohammedashiq084 huh
True.
VP is grounded in reality..BR has brought the best out of him.VPs passion is explicit. Well done !!!
Producer Suresh Kamatchi in Friday Facts interview mentioned that he insisted that Venkat Prabhu gives him the full bounded script before starting the movie. Apparently, that is not the usual way VP works. But for this movie he obliged. Goes to show how a tight and well thought out script is important for a good and successful movie!
Lollll that’s smart….more producers should do that.
vp has peviously mentioned that he always prepare bounded script for all his films.
VP never shot any films WITHOUT bound script since his first movie. He himself mentioned this.
Greatest analysis for the advancement of humankind
gvm: eniku bound ennathe theriyaathu. 😆
Maanadu is special in the sense that it is easy to copy a concept but to execute it by adapting it to a specific audience is a whole different thing. Maanadu is spectacular, it was adapted to tamil audience, within exisiting politics and in a manner that even a layperson will understand the loop concept.
Copy ah concept ah
Then
VTV

V1000
All are love stories do they come under copy ??
Time loop is genre
@Kick Long bro he also metioned in this kind of movies in maanadu??? did you watched maanadu??? padam pathutu pesunga bro, loop is a concept, its not a copy
@Kick Long adei paathutaen da athe mari padam evlo vanthurku
I havnt watched movie yet. But looking at the trailer the first movie that i could recollect is Vantage point.
Hollywood panna concept or genre
Kollywood na copy..grow up guys..
The very first line of the movie had me into it..
"Time waits for No One, what if it does?"
These "what if"s are always intriguing..
Venkat Prabhu sir hats off
I always have a feel that VP is a wildcard director when it comes to making films. He is able to make audience completely engage with the movie through various ways, by trying to deliver something different; regardless of the quality of the film. Not to forget, the intro chase sequence of Briyani was superbly executed.
35:54 never seen BR this excited
VP is so very sincere in replying ❤ that sincerity will take him to places😍

absolutely
Well said...
This is the only movie where there is no Introduction. But Elevation and Execution are it's success.
24:20 BR is so much sold about this movie that you can see him narrating the story to VP. nice of VP to engage him :)
Maanaadu is the winner for me. Crowd puller. Absolutely worth the time,money&effort. Do watch it in theatres guys. This team deserve it.
Am a Telugu guy but my search for tamil actors, directors,stories, films, culture just love tamil!!!
There are also tamil ppl who love telugu movies dude and other things u said
Watch Adbutham
Goa is one of my favourite film of Venkat Prabhu. It is filled with so many entertaining moments that genuinely make you laugh so hard. The characters, the cast, the music, the cinematography, etc. Eveyrthing was just so perfect. I think it'll be hard for any other filmmaker to make an out-and-out entertainer like Goa. Waiting for your next project 'Party', Venkat Prabhu sir.
Love goa
Happy go lucky and jolly film
VP is the only director who openly talks about inspired moments in movies like naaan e sudeep, crazy mohan type of comedy, the day, groundhog day
10:27: That's the factor where I was completely sold in Maanadu. It's not just the hero who's going through the loop, it's also the villain who's going through this turmoil. Haven't seen such an interesting screenplay for a time-loop movie. Undoubtedly, that's where Venkat Prabhu as a director & writer won in the film.
From this Movie success, he'll know that only humor won't attract people. Only content will make them enjoy..
Exactly
See saroja is not a humor movie mangatha is not a humor movie both ran for 100 days. Biriyani is a crime thriller and mass is an emotional film. He did out and out humor in Goa only.
to be very honest..if it was not the story line related to religious line of the film, people would have wanted SJ suryah sir to win in this movie, he was that lovely!
Sir if there is award for a director, it should be for you. Bcoz its really so hard and u delivered it perfectly 👌🏻 👌🏻 ... Awesome Venkat Prabhu sir 🙏🙏👏
Revealing the whole story in 30mins and decoding it is a super challenge any tamil director has taken
This channel never fails to deliver!
He proved that oru director flops or long gap irunthalum he will comeback and give a blockbuster waiting for other director also like shankar lingusamy rajesh etx
Chennai 600 028 part 2 is a blockbuster. In theatres with reunion of friends thoroughly enjoyed 😂 Venkat Prabhu downs is biriyani & mass. All other films of VP is hit
@@hpravin biryani was not a flop it was an hit but mass was an utter Flop.
@@jesusmysaviourable1 mass can be liked by childrens like he said in this interview
@@hpravin nope venkars 1sy film was a superhit then goa was a hit
Mankatha was blockbuster and briyani was avg
Others like saroja chennai 600028 part 2 And mass where flops
Party don't even realese .
So after 10 years again venkat prabu got a clean hit with manadu
@@martinsam8787 Chennai 600028 part 2 is not a flop officially.
I've never seen Mr B praise any movie so much.
It's a definite multi-watch movie
I believe this is 1st time I see a villain don’t want Hero to DIE, it’s the Cruz, VP NAILED IT!!!
Thani Oruvan too
The VP win is a win to industry because when so many new comers shine so well it's like pride for the industry fraternity to know that their own has come out and cracked an amazing script .
As a fan it was thrilling when the pattern was way beyond brilliance exhibition of what Nalan or Karthiksubburaj does ...
Am a VP fan ..to me Mass is my top favourite and during Briyani the comment to VP usualy was screenplay is good where Is the story ...to troll that criticism he did tremendous screenplay games for first half and second half was 3 x or 4 x of story in a single movie. .
I wish VP starts charging high renumeratio for his top class ideas.... I wish its responsibility if heroes to ensure VP gets big paycheck .. just because he doesn't have ego cant take him for granted. Am waiting what would be his next after party and ashok selvan movie knowing the taste of #maanadu success.
Really loved Manadu. one small way the time loop treatment could have been improved is - when Simbu wakes up in the plane again and again he can wake up to a song/ music that's happening inside the plane. In Groundhog day, the protagonist wakes up to the song playing in the radio and the commentary of RJs that set him right back in the context of the same day. This also adds a bit of audio storytelling. And as the time loop keeps happening the audio (song/ music) will add a layer of meaning in that scene. In contrast Surya can wake up to a contrasting sound/ song. That was one small detail i missed in the movie.
Great catch Anna 🔥 #GCTian rocks
Seetha lakshmi's prayer was the audio cue here right? Instead of a song/music.
@@HariHaran-kf5nf don’t think the prayer is exactly when Simbu wakes up. She recites ‘Kaakha kaakha…’ and then he says something and there’s some conversation between them. Then the waking up happens. Afaik he just wakes up. There is no audio cue there. The aeroplane alert sound/ announcement, the nearby people’s phone blaring a song mistakenly - these could be the cues for him waking up. On the other side Surya can wake up to a RJ/ fm radio song
@@CultureKonnect already ppl are naive to call everything as copy.. This will just add more leverage to that argument. Once when our indian audience understand difference between copy, inspiration and genre.. Directors can do all kinda homages and cues from other movies.. Maanadu is perfect as it is.. Those small imperfections is what gonna make this movie a Classic..
There is a video on CZcams itself where someone has told that the hero wakes up when the flight flies over Ujjain. It's shown just 1 or 2 times in the movie.
BR : Another thing I really liked about the movie was......
HERE WE GO AGAIN
He's stuck in a time loop
Not a puluthi but I predicted the glass scene and told my friend.. brilliant writing/screenplay after a long time
One more guy here...
One interaction which I waited for and happy to see BRs excitement and VPs smile - - great talents in their own field 😀
I watched the movie two days back & it was a mindblowing experience. Screenplay definitely is the best of the best feature of Maanadu rather than the actors & other technical aspects.Hats off to Venkat Prabhu for his intelligent writing 🙏👏 Undoubtedly this film is the best commercial entertainer of the year from kollywood & I'm really looking forward to the sequel👍 STR , SJ Suryah , Yuvan 💥
It is one of the most brilliant movies i have seen. Thank you Venkat Prabhu for such a wonderful cinematic experience. Thank you BR for an insightful interview
The genius work of Venkat Prabhu puts him at par with the new age filmmakers.
One hour of praise of VP by BR..It was like fan interviewing director...
Was waiting for this eagerly.. Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾🤗💛
What an absolute pleasure it was to watch both the movie and this truly wonderful interview!
ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEW and venkat prabhu enjoys to answer and happy to hear how well audience has received it thru' bharatwaj
Have always been waiting for this interview ever since I saw the movie on first day. Only one person can go into VP mind and ask all relevant questions - that’s Mr, BR. But one thing that’s probably itching me since the release is Simbu’s intro. The pilot says they were all waiting for one all important person - till the end I thought there would be a connection but couldn’t find, is this just one example of cinematic liberty? This will probably a question for #AskBR
I think the MP character gave his visiting card to simbu since he thought he is a big personality and that card uses as trump card to meet CM. As director said all this happen just because simbu has a friend in the airline who made the flight wait for a couple of minutes by saying a reason as simbu is a important VIP. One of the best logical reason to utilize a mass hero entry by brilliant writing of VP.
Ok thanks. I understood the part about Badava Gopi visiting card connection. But never recollected anywhere saying friend in airlines - thanks for clarifying.
At 41.00 BR asking this and VP telling this was the idea. But didn't took place in shot since it was not that important scene.
@@surya04able excellent excellent.... nicely explained.... 🔥🔥
I think the friend scene wasn't shown in the movie due to the stardom of Simbu. It would be like breaking the build up after it was shown. But it is normal in VP movies, he himself trolling his own heroes. Since it was simbu, he didn't want to troll a big star in the first scene. Also he is intelligent enough not to admit the real reason in the interview ;)
When you make BR smile for more than 5 mins, you have won!
BR is an excellent listener
BR just wanted to make sure that VP listened to his review of Maanadu.

Unpopular Opinion:
I feel like sometimes it's better to not listen to director's perspective (coz my views about some scenes change drastically!!) xD
Its quite true actually also when you think about camera quality or camera angles in a movie it takes you out of that cinematic experience
@@stunner2012same
True!
Can u mention which scenes?
Please film companion you have to add subtitles to such discussions. Please understand the critically high importance of this to pan india viewers. We all get to enjoy these movies with subtitles and this is the best movie of the year for me a north Indian, thanks to its most relentless fast paced writing and highest entertainment value. The discussion with the brain behind this movie deserves the highest attention from your side. If needed I will pay good money to have subtitles in this video. But honestly speaking you guys need to pull up your socks. We completely understand if discussions cannot be held in English only. But we do need the subs in english so that every one understands it. Ultimately it will help u only to have a bigger reach. no one else.
i agree for subtitles but i also think it is difficult to provide subtitles for such a lengthy casual conversation
Absolutely loved the Interview 👌🏽
By the way, I am I the only one who felt Baddy's shirt is fabulous 😍 Cool outfit 👍🏽
In 2010 at a party in Russian centre Chennai, I told VP that he is a new wave director of Thamizh cinema, he has proved it over a 100 times with just this one Film of his. Kudos VP :)
As usual the best channel with the best interview, avoiding all the cliches
I honestly thought br would ask venkat prabhu about the speech scene of SJ Surya.It got more appreciation in the theater than any other scene
The stunt sequence was awesome ..I clapped so many times for this movie .... being cool also take u places like Venkat Prabhu Sir ..
Saroja is the most underrated movie of VP direction he's always a director of new ideas but ppl failed to Praise him...😐
VP is one of very good directors of Tamil cinema.. I think he is the only director, whose movie i have never missed in Theaters.. all of his movie were fun filled, some didnt work well at box office, still I enjoyed every one of them..
and Maanadu, he just out did himself.. This interview is full of spoilers if you haven't seen the movie yet.. But very good interview.. ! :)
Possibly Party may not be as good as Maanadu, but still it should be fun filled ride, like all other VP movies :D
Master, Saarpatta Parambarai, Karnan, Doctor and Maanadu - Blockbusters of 2021
BR is Super excited about the movie. As usual, Focuses fully on the movie and Director POV. Perfect interview. Not unlike other channels , how is working with simbu and thala non sense
questioning about actors simplicity, humanity, humility, etc etc... sabhaaa cringe worthy stereotypical questions other channels ask... and the anchors act like mindless fan boys and keep saying... chance eh illa... vera level etc
Such a simple nice man. I am always a fan of you
Good to see you succeed Venkat. From a Saaman-Nikhalo-Saroja to a SciFi filmmaking...a real turnaround! Kudos to you and your crew. You've proved that அடிமேல அடி அடிச்சா
அம்மி கல்லும் நகரும். Please be more serious and do contribute more meaningful content ito Tamil cinema in coming days. Congrats!
That song is from Chennai 28 right, I felt its a superb movie
I am a writer too (I work with prose though, not screenplays) and watching this with that perspective... a lot of respect to VP - I can empathise with how hard it must have been to write that script
always a good interview with thalaivar Baradwaj!
YOU DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE SUCH A BRILLIANCE SPRINGS UP IN A DIRECTOR, SUDDENLY. That's what I love about filmmaking! Sheer brilliance - VP!
Different loop level movie. Hats off. One of the best loop movies i've watched. Different. Hillarious, nit boring. Every loop was different so evaded boredom too. Beautifully composed. 🤗🤗
Today's super start.. Innum detailing pathi discuss panni irukalamae sir..very excited to listen to those detailing..Worth watching sir.. Super movie.. Second time pakkanum
Surely Maanadu is career best for both VP and STR..
Always rangan sir diff ah than question irukkum semmma sir
Fantastic VP..Kudos for such a different and entertaining film 👌👌
Full Interview Watched Really Great Job VP Sir ❤😀
Always a venkat prabhu fan ❤️❤️
Super sir...new approach in tamil movie...Amazing...simbu..get up.SJ SURYA...MASS.
Biryani Last 30 Mins is the best I really loved the last 30 minutes especially the final twist really loved it sir❤❤🎈
Sir please add subtitles ...we are also fans venkat prabhu from telangana
Great interview. Thank you. Going to watch the movie tomorrow in NJ, USA. Can’t wait🙏🙏 just FYI, my birthday is also 10/10👍🏽. Love to find out what you have for my birthday in the movie. My best wishes to your daughter. BTW RAJA bakthan 🙏
Thanku venkat really bold concept..
11:45 கங்கை அமரன் Sir வந்துட்டு போறாரு😆😆👍👍❤️❤️❤️
This was a gud interview by baddy n VP.. Loved it👌🤩
Excellent interview to hear as the FC logo annoyingly popping out continuously for subscription that disturbs to view the video.
Rare to see the BR!!! is so excited...while conversation 😀😌
It's been a great year for both guru Venkat Prabhu and sishyan pa Ranjith. 2 Outstanding films , excellent genres ❤️❤️❤️
Gambler(Mankatha) one of the best films i have seen.. n now Manaadu(Loop)... Love u Venkat Prabhu sir
Btw, This October-Ten is VP Bro's daughters Birthday but also the Date of Loop (Regular and Reverse) like 10-10--2002(10/10-20/02)
Which we can also view like the first set was the regular time loop of STR(1010) but next loop refers SJS(2002) reverse version of Time loop.Also our BR sir made this 10:10 as the Video Duration for his review of Maanadu.
Repeating this on a loop💥💥
May Venkat Prabhu sir and whole team of Maanadu & Filmcompanion bharadwaj rangan and all of us be blessed with abundance, prosperity, great health, immense wealth and happiness
Thankyou BR. Your interview of Mark Anthony, Maanadu was mentioned as a classy film.
Just watched it on Sonyliv , and what a Masterpiece. The brilliant script and direction by Venkat Prabhu was flawless. The BGM was another character in the script. Awesome YSR. Editing was Perfect and Incredible.
STR and SJ.Suryah were perfect. Loved the Mass introduction scene of the antagonist, and the swag of SJ. Suryah.
Caught in a timeloop myself.
Th 1st time was thrilling enjoyable.
The 2nd time is you marvel at the editing, the execution,the craft of Venkat Prabhu, and ofcourse SJ.Suryah moments . His "Thalaivere" dialogue delivery in the 8 minute scene has me in awe of his talent.
This is a Masterpiece
Hosting 💥💥 vera level questions ma damnn love it ❤️
This interview is my brainstorming thing now!!📈🥶
A special thanks to BR for making this conversation with vp. My curiosity to know how the writing went on is over....
Really loved the movie... Still not out of maanadu hangover even after 4 days...
Was also wondering what if the movie had kamal in place of simbu and Rajni in place of SJ surya.. :-)
With all due respect to the talent and art of Kamal and Rajnikanth.
SJ. Suryah in Maanadu cannot be done by any other actor. Kamal in Nayagan and Rajnikant in Dhalapathi own their roles .
Similarly SJ. Suryah killed it as Dhanushkodi.
i always thought chennai 28 should be remade to hindi...now this should be venkat prabhus bollywood entry
Brilliant screenplay writing Director Venkat Prabhu sir and the entire team of Maanadu 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻. Hatsoff to the entire team of Maanadu for their tremendous efforts throughout the movie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Highly entertained movie 🥳🥳🥳. Eagerly waiting for your next movie sir 🥶🥶🥶
BR watched a movie twice before an interview.
FC gold compulsory 😂
Superb interview Sir 👏
All directors and assistant directors, person who interested in direction must must watch this conversation....Decoding vera maarI
Thank god they didn't execute the bigger plan... This works only coz' it's that simply told VP. 👍🏻
Interview to be renamed as “VP blushing for 1 hour straight “
In Sequel You can have a loop inside a loop and the outcome of outerloop is determined by the inner loop :)
Best movie for this year
Too good interview.
Yesterday appa va kuttitu pooirunthen...
I thought he wont understand and i have to give explanation nu nanachen...
He enjoyed the movie to the core...
Each and every second he was enjoying... 😊😊
Drink everytime BR says "Another thing I liked about the movie was.."
I love vp.. he's so humble ❤️
Out of 1hr Video, Baradwaj Rangan talk 60 % (Villain) and Venkat Prabhu talk 40% (Hero). that's what interesting as like the film Maanaadu.. Enjoyed..
Good your interview. Well done
