- Veteran actors #NaseeruddinShah and #RatnaPathakShah have much reason to celebrate as their theatre group #Motley has completed 40 years since its first play Waiting for Godot. Over the years the group has done 42 productions with varied plays from classics to contemporary pieces.
They spoke to The Quint about their love for theatre, why Hindi movies aren’t demanding and why the coming years are a scary time for art and artists.

I feel fortunate, I found this interview and watched til the end. This is what I call an Interview. Amazing
I hoped that the show got bit extended. 12 mts is too less for 2 legendary actors. Host did a great job kudos.
I watch all Ratna Pathak interviews and every time I listen to her I learn something new.
There's something about listening to intelligent actors, who know so much about the art.
The way she speaks… I can literally listen to her all day long .. the way she speaks so calm , sensible and so clear
The way she speaks it just makes u listen every point....she jus doesnt utters lik otha celebs she actually emphasizes on today's general issues of aam admi.... respect to tha woman.
Such a sensible interview. Kudos to the interviewer.
+1
“People flock for a Salman Khan movie but would think twice for an Amir Khan film” This is one of he greatest tragedies of the country.
Seriously? the biggest tragedy of this country is people thinking twice to watch an Aamir Khan film, a star who has been minting money and lost his originality???
And Naseer isn't factually right because the biggest hits in Bollywood have been Dangal and PK...
TheDarkhorse700 unko ye kahena tha ki Amir is someone who thinks too much about his movie art, direction, msg etc kabhi kabhi logo ko vo bor lagata hai vs salman khan movie bhai 8 logo ko ek saath marate hai public citi bajati hai. Of course amir ke pass big suprhit movies hai context kuch alag tha sir ke kehane ka sirf.
@@TheDarkhorse700 hanji Aur Kuch.
Salman Khan ke movies mein kyaq Khaas hai???
Movies are for entertainment which salman guarantees without vulgarity
Salman movies have eve-teasing and inappropriate jokes. If that’s not vulgar don’t know what is.
Naseer Saab and Ratna mam are legends, so no point praising them. Mr Host, you just did an incredible interview. Well Done and i cant praise you enough for conducting the show. A very very small piece of advice will be that your eye contact while asking the questions was a bit lopsided towards Naseer Ji. Just make sure that it is more even or at least switching more between yours two guests. Anyways, Brilliant interview. It just ended far too soon.
The two most amazing, sensible, and well-educated artists. Who knows their work and how to perform.
idk how i missed out on this interview; this was a real interview and to hear them speak of art in the right words, felt like bliss. true artists. much love
That's what an interview should be like. Intelligent and sensible. People who know and value art are supreme...
Ratna Pathak should have and should do lots of movies.. She is so entertaining.. She would shine in horror and comedy movies.. She is a great personality.. very unique.. Naseer saab, unique too.
It's so pleasant to listen to them speaking. Both Naseer sahib & Ratna ma'am have aged beautifully. You can sense the intellect in their words & thoughts when they speak. :)
I would love to see a movie with the Lead Characters: Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak, Pankaj Kapoor and Supriya Pathak
Hello Rashmi, speaking about such stupendous cast, recommending you to watch Sooraj Ka Satvaan Ghoda by Shyam Benegal. It doesnt feature the mentioned actors, yet if you wish to explore casting of rare kinds, try once.
Sreemoyee DG thank you for the recommendation which platform can I watch that film? I love watching good movies with good writing
@@Rashmibhattachan i think its available on Amazon prime.
There are many such movies.
Art films / parallel cinema of 80's.
Ratana Pathak Shah = SHEER BRILLIANCE.
She n Naseer Sir was amazing with their sense of minds n words put in!!
Such people are so rare, nd so correctly stated about the generation.
P. S:Bring more of them❤️
I can hear Ratna Pathak speak all day. Just love her
Ratna is so adorable, she fills me with hope. Big fan.
The interviewer is beyond my words & cute also.And my all time favourite Ratna Pathak shah is delightful to watch always....
How sensible and lovely this couple is! Thank you, Quint.
I cannot explain how much enriching and awesome these 12:22 mins were ! Pls keep interviewing such gems
yes up next supriya pathak and pankaj kapur 😊 hopefully fingerscrossed
Good material discussed and knowledgeable
what a beautiful interview and loved hearing soft and practical answers they gave. I watched whole interview till the end and loved every word spoken. the lines which Rachna madam has said "currently we have more young educated people in the society and they are getting the feeling what the people felt at the time of independence", such a powerful sentence. thank you Quint for this beautiful interview of this amazing educated people who knows what they are speaking.
I agree about theatre etiquette people treat theatre like a movie you need popcorn,gf/bf msg,call it's doesn't affect the movie while your are doing but it does affect theatre artist a small mistake can cost that moment the artist is in or switching luckily artist have accepted everything and are so much into portraying character... Subodh bhave once left the act in between and asked the person sitting on front seat to leave. Great interview and really great people you won quint.
Such aware educated and thought provoking words from Ratna ji ! I always loved her vibe but now I am awed by her mindset
yeah educated who says karwa chauth as regressive practice but halal , triple talak , burkha , hijab are not 😂😂
"To review theatre, you need to know a great deal about it..."
Now, that I've quoted Ratna Ma'am and Naseeruddin Sir, I would like to :
1. Thank The Quint for talking to these wonderful thespians;
2. Thank Ratna and Naseeruddin for being patient, generous and genial to a young journalist;
3. Expect a more informed and insightful host/anchorperson to have a much more intelligent, intellectual and exploratory interview about their continuous journey in theatre.
Truly, they didn't come across as worried or panic stricken at the state of affairs of life in general, but just as elders who are simply concerned at what the present generation is going through, if only they would take their eyes off their phones and deliberated a bit...
I loved the host. Kudos brother. The questions were really pondering and thought provoking. You seemed quite mature in front of two legends of acting in Indian sub-continent. Naseer saab and Ratna Ma'am are too much to be pleased, loved them always.
Wonderful personalities, a joy to watch and listen to...beautiful couple, full of class and good mentality...
Absolutely 🙏🙏🙏
This was such a fantastic interview, I could listen to these guys talking whole day long.
Then you'll say it's ( the interview) so beautiful, so beautiful...
But excruciatingly long😂
totally
Ratna pathak is so passionate when she talks. Also, Hats off to this interviewer! India needs more interviewers like him.
They're so sorted.
What handsome man still at this age so much grace and wonderful to hear them both jus no filter trurh and without hurting anybody they put der points so well
I always find Naseer saab as a profound actor and a wonderful man ! And Ratna Mam you are just awesome .
Those last lines about today's condition n it's aftermaths were amazingly true. She's right revolution is going to come. "Mai ab gulab nai inquilaab chahta hu".
Such a lovely interview. Ratna Pathak Shah, I just discovered how awesome you are.
Naseer sahab. We don't need to say much about him. He has always been awesome.
Full marks to the interviewer. Decent, intelligent questions. His questions weren't typically filmy and tabloid kind of questions just meant to titillate and get more views.
Was waiting for someone to talk on this topic, my friends simply don't believe why actors like Tom Hanks, Tom Hiddleston and even Irrfan Khan peak at their works.
What I've realised that we don't recognise movies as literature anymore, it's simply became entertainment for us and as a result buisness for others.
Movies as literature! That's a great perspective. And yes, people, including the creators and the audience, follow the mantra spoken of in Dirty Picture - "Entertainment, entertainment and entertainment! "
Irrfan 💔
Nothing you can do about it honestly. As Ratna Pathak Shah said in the ScoopWhoop video "This is human tendency. A person who has never thought beyond the style of their haircut, the length of their nails. Why would they suddenly think about such controversial issues? Some people just don't like to think."
Bollywood would have been blessed to have more people like them. Total class on display here. The Hindi film industry would be a world-class platform today only if we had more people like them. Sadly it is not.
Yes sir m agree with u... An actor like jhony lever if u bring him on theatre it will be great... He is skillful and also natural...
How caring you become when you grow old ..love for the young generation...need more such sensible actors/human beings in the society ...kudos Quint, the interviewer and the gems of theatre ...cant forget "Phata poster nikla hero" 😍😍😍
Such gems they are & not to forget the interviewer was just perfect!💯
All time favorite they still have that magic .
It’s really difficult to interview such talented people but he did a great job 👍🏼
Ratna Ma'am at the end.. so damn true (not the dying part though)
Seems relevant in this pandemic era though..
Thanks mam for that last part. very encouraging. May God bless you both. Kudos to team quint
इसे कहते हैं एक अच्छा इंटर्व्यू। हर इंसान की अपनी सोच है, सबको अपनी सोच प्रस्तुत करने का हक़ है। कलाकार के कला की सराहना ज़रूर करनी चाहिए।
It's such a pleasure to hear from these sensible dignified couple..more of such interviews should be done..the part of the interview is so well said
She said what is happening now 👍🏻
The interviewer is amazing, with a very soft demeanour and he's asking questions like he actually wants the answer.
Not just like a gossip.
Other that that, I found many times the interview was edited.
I mean something was being said and the next moment, it was something else completely.
So I hope to find the complete interview.
Both are lovely and educated people. Who know what they speak.
Two good minds and power house of talent ...pleasure to watch you two together... wish we could see more of you on digital platform as we don’t have access to theatre and Mumbai
Dude your literally such a amazing interviewer. I really enjoyed watching this . I literally lost my sense of time. This was absolutely magicallll
Ratna is a national treasure
Omg. Didnt know these were real life couples. Amazingggg pair n great artists♥️♥️♥️
Wow just see how gentle interviewer nd guest nd loved wat Ratna ji just say in last....
Immortal words : These times are bad for art, but also good for art. May be not immediately, but ten years down the line.
*Very Well Executed Interview .. Its not an easy job to interview such Legends of Craft* .. 💯👍
Hats off to this interviewer for conducting this with good poise and listening so intently...
Omg ek he dil hai ratna ma'am kitni baar jeetoge😍😍😍
Ratna Pathak Shah showing immensely clarity of thought with great humour 😀
Pillars of acting. One of the greatest of all time Naseer sahab
Is it only me or Ratna pathak Shah is actually a magnet ?
Kuch na kehke sab kuch keh diya...
Hats off Ratna Pathak
This is undoubtedly the last generation with simple attributes like patience, hard work and the ability to wait for success.
in the very end what Ratna ma'am said, is the highlight of this interview and very insightful thought of her. Exactly my point!
Ratnaji is the insightful aunt that one wishes one had in their lives- To emulate, to learn from. You are simply awesome !
I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Ratna Ji while she was at Rangashankara here in Bangalore a few years back. Such a simple yet a powerful personality. I was totally in awe of her.
Kudos to the interviewer
Good questions and respecting the craft of two artists.
Big fan of these two. 👏🏻❤
If not for the other commitments, I liked what Ratna Pathak said at the end.
Good interview especially the interviewer he was simply amazing! You should seriously continue, the whole set up was so calm and honest
Well said. I wish I could meet them in my lifetime
Amazing interview, true actors of Bollywood. My God her skin , not a single wrinkle. She is getting more beautiful as she ages, with class and grace.
Ratna mam attitude is so positive 😘😘😘😘😘🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I really want to appreciate the interviewer. He has a natural knack for it.
I don’t watch interviews because the interviewer is either loud, haughty, boisterous, snob, or talks too much or sometimes all of them.
But , this was a refreshing change. The respect shown to the guest enamors audiences.
This Man deserve so much more respect.
I just love how hopefull she is.💓
It was a delight watching. Thank you💖
Mind blowing! eloquent, articulate and so apt.. These two are one of my fav personalities.
The interviewer is hands down FANTASTIC.Quint,bring him back.
Honest interview . Good job champ.
This is really fantastic to see the intellect of the interviewer seems to be at par with the 2 legends...
Rare we get to watch such interviews which are intelligent, open and real
I love the way Ratna Phatak articulates her views - well spoken, wise and authentic
Great interview. Hard for art is great for art. Kudos to the interviewer.
I love ratnaji's perspective on things and her positivity. Thank you. 💙
Such a delightful interview. Great to see such stalwarts of acting put forth their views so openly..and honestly.
Jo bhi ho our Maya Sarabhai is amazing....
I wonder if these great actors had much interaction with Marathi Theater in Mumbai and Pune .. the budgets may not be as great as Hindi or Indian English plays but the subject matter is so diverse ..Hope that young actors who come to Mumbai for a career in Hindi films should pay attention to local Marathi theater which has been around for more than 100 years
Mr. Sadashiv Amrapurkar the legend!
Awsome interview . I am a huge fan of Naseer ji and Ratna ji .but my bad luch I never got a chance to watch their play .but I have always loved their work in movies . Both of them are versatile actors .I love them and adore them. Perhaps I would say Naseer ji and Ratna ji are the two precious gems if our theater and Bollywood industry and we can not lose them at any cost. I wish I could get a chance to see even 1 pkaybof theirs. Great artists .may god bless them with a long life and we get entertained by them by watching their fabulous art of work in their plays and movies . Awsome interview. Would like to watch more.
What a beautiful, beautiful interview! Just chanced upon it and absolutely loved it.
Wonderful interview. I love how Ratna concludes. Wonderful Anchor too..the couple complement each other.
Such a wonderful video I came across from a long time....... Everything about it was magnificent and real.......
Just few smart, intelligent and decent people talking does the trick.....
Naseeruddin Shah is one of the finest actors we have
I love watching them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I just want to listen more and more from shah Shab....
Such enriching an interview!!! So rare to see such wonderful interviews nowadays.
The interviewer was smart, polite, know about the art..had done his homework.. Bring him more even for stars interviews who choose to do good films... I am not playing into the gallery as I saw many good comments on interviewer know...he is much better than lallantop interviewers and critics..
रत्ना mam kitti reactive h hr baat ko itni सिद्दत se emote krna aur ke 40 second jis passion के साथ bole
Such a pure soul and controlled emotions she has
11:35 so well said!!👍👍
I loved everything about this interview. May we have many more.
Loved the intensity with which Ratna spoke and the contrast of poignant calm with which Nasir spoke.
It's like one person talking with two bodies. What intellectual compatibility.
Great actors n great couple as well ,God bless them
God of Acting ..sir Naseeruddin shah
