We asked the Indian Film Industry for their Top 5 Favourite Films of All Time. Here’s what they told us: bit.ly/3Owx7tC
Sneha was so so good..I was completely immersed in her performance
Wooowww Snehaaa.. just pulled a Deepika Padukone doing Ranbir Kapoor in Tamasha. Marvellous ❤
Wow what a sorted guy, and so calm and authentic, no wonder actorsactors are so profuse in their gratitude..
That was great Sneha, never knew you would be that great in acting.
Especially when she laughs i thought you have broken character but no then nailed the performance.
Please act in a movie or short film for us.
And I need to see Anu maam's opinion on your performance.
It really felt you went in a different zone of yours… vulnerable yet somehow in control. It was felt so strongly
She was lovely in this. This felt quite natural and that she was processing the feeling and it was great! ❤
Sneha....killing it man!! U have an alternate career & might just kill some careers😂😂😂 This is such an amazing ep❤ More power to u woman!
What a powerful episode. Awesome, amazing, ACE Sneha and Atul. Her performance was prime example of what Atulji was explaining about inner and outer. Thank you team FC for amazing content.
@sneha - I was surprised by your acting skills, you nailed it and as Atul said I was not expecting this
Any acting workshop is helpful ,its good that you are talking about Atul Mongia but its because film companion heard this name from stars , but I got a chance to work with actors when they were not starts ,though Atul speaks with the honesty as I have come across with many actors, Infact trained many like Dipika Padukone Jacquiline and Siayami Kher and many more . I don't want want to discuss about my profile as I am not a popular actor for world , but yes this is never ending process, this is the search within and outside also, there are many factors which Atul may not discuss in this half an hour programme ,so you guys have to do longer discussion on learning acting craft and call others as well to understand different prospectives. yes but its great watching something about acting craft.
Sheha should be in Rocky Rani 2 !
Damnnn Sneha!!! That was incredible... You really went in some other zone... What can't you do!!! Time for film companion to produce some short films with the in-house talent!!🎉🎉
Sneha might get an acting opportunity!!!
Love this, Sneha! Thank you!
He is so sorted from within! All his sentences...just bang on! He can be a spiritual coach too, honestly.
pure honesty - thanks Neha & Atul
well performed Sneha...you got the character so well... 👏👏👏👏👏
Sneha, now don't tell me you never acted in your school or college days! You nailed it! Now, just be ready for the offers of acting parts! This episode could as well be a turning point in your lifer, who knows! Let's wait for the day when someone from FC actually interviews you for a Cheat Sheet or a sit-down interview! :)
Wow. So sweet!
Oh my goodness! This was absolutely brilliant! I’m not an actor and yet I learnt sooo much from this! ♥️♥️
Thank you for this gem of an episode. For aspiring actors like me this was a masterclass.
Sneha you were so good . Lots of love
You were so good Sneha. 👏❤️
Thank you FC. do bring more like this.👍
A very helpful guide for all the actors out there, A ready reckoner given by Atul for actors & the scene work was absolutely amazing. Sneha should definitely try herself as an actor, there’s such ease in her performance apart from being a fantastic film journalist she is! A very good episode. Kudos to FC, Atul & Sneha for the episode ❤
Woah! Sneha Desai is a great interviewer but clearly also a natural actor. This is one of the best videos on the this channel.
Well done Sneha! Wow
Wow Sneha … new level of fandom here … love love love the scene and LOVE YOU
This was such a great episode. Thank you Atul sir for describing the process of acting in such simple words and thank you Sneha for demonstrating what it is like to go through that process. Stellar work 🙌🏼
Can anyone please mention WHERE WAS THIS SCENE FROM ?
Wow!!! My favourite Cheat Sheet episode so far, and this is definitely one of the best CZcams series on or about anything to do with films. Love how you are lifting the curtain on so many aspects of filmmaking Sneha, and bringing your audience along in exploring these spaces.
And that scene was just incredible! Your performance felt so real that it gave me goosebumps, and I was just waiting for that moment when you'd use that knife on him and not the vegetables 😂. Bravo!
Such an amazing episode! I realised how acting is pure spirituality and flow of energy from within.
This was really helpful, Thank you Sneha!
Sneha killed it in that scene🔥
More power to you Sneha!
The Honesty you spoke about. Actually this is something that you alresdy have in abundance!
Thats why people relate to you.!
Much love 🙏
This is amazing. Totally unexplored territory. Well done Film companion!!
That was a mini Tamasha scene out there in the end....what a performance Sneha ur a gem!
It's not brother
Such an insightful episode! Sneha, get ready to be casted 😊
Great session ❤️
Oh phenomenal Sneha ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sneha! You did wonderful!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Everybody has to act in daily life to survive . Hence bad actors die fast
Sneha nailed it.
WowowwoW tht was great .... Sneha u were FAB 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. Even I wanna try this Atul Sir somday 😁
Thank you for bringing this out. I'm an Actor myself I want to work with Atul mongia sir but the workshop is just too much for my pocket.
You are most welcome
How much he charges..
How much is the fee?
We are on the same boat brother. I guess if one cannot afford workshops it's probably better to hone our craft ourselves as much possible and the day we are lucky enough to attend workshops it would be much easier to understand the nuances of it.
Agree
Thank you so much for this Interview. Sena your performances was good as the master himself said.
This interview really helps for the aspiring Actors. And for the directors how to explain to the actors to get the performance from them.
God bless🙏🏻
Sneha, just loved this interview with Nayan Mongia of Acting😄 and how you acted in that scene. Tumhara Cheat Sheet ka work mujhe bahut pasand aati hai. For sometime socha ki why you stopped doing Cheat Sheet but then now you are back i am happy. This is a very informative interview. So keepup the good work and keep doing what you are doing. And you can Act! So give it a try, train yourself Whenever you have time.👍👌
you are brilliant actor Sneha
What is the difference between _ Spontaneous Acting Vs Method Acting ? ,
Switch ON & Switch OFF Acting?
Superbbb! 🔥
From now I definitely observe how can I do one experience into verious ways
Omgggg u doing so good on the scene omgggggf
That was excellent Sneha! You both nailed the scene!
Wow Sneha 👌 👏
You acted really really well
Let's have film companion team, Anu and everyone criticize this performance.. amazing work Sneha..
The film starts @21:41 ❤😊
You were very good sneha👏👏
Sneha U Should Have Asked This__
Question - Why Reading Is Important For Actor's? Many Actor's Said They Read A Lot. It helps them in imagination of character's , scenes 😐
Sneha should start acting. She did so well. I knew there is an actor inside her.
Sneha must try her hands on acting. She was very impressive. An interviewer is a closeted actor, she must act some day.
Btw its really insightful chat with Atul
❤
Wow Sneha!! You were fab❤ go for it girl!! You will make an amazing actor!
sabzi bohat achi kaati
Can anyone please tell me WHERE WAS THIS SCENE FROM?
Did anyone notice that the Recreation of the scene is from Revolutionary Road(Leo and Kate)❤
Pls make one video on 👉 Best Acting School's In Mumbai. 👍
Work. With. Atul mongia. #manifest!
I liked everything about the interview except the way they are sitting that is so uncomfortable. The scene is actually from Revolutionary Road btw.
Meditation seats. They r so comfortable one can sit for 2 to 3 hours on it....
haha who just noticed there is also the son of Archarna Puran Singh in that last acting class demo. I think his name is Aryaman Shetty?
Throughout the episode, I was just watching Sneha
I have a also course .....
Sneha I was just thinking at the start that you shd be an actor! And here you are, trying out a scene.. Anupama, you are going to lose this lady to the other side of the table!
Problem with Acting is that it looks easy on screen and many people think it's easy to do here they get misguided seeing only glamour side of Actor's. 😕
Very True
Sneha aap Film Companion mein kya kar rahe ho? Do a movie and get hubby to review it 😉
who is her hubby
This is such a informational episode. Can the people stop using the F word so frivolously? Is their vocabulary so limited that you have the use the F word over and over again like a gawaar?
But I am hero in real and film so how is it possible to so the acting without being a hero in real I am known as SSN.K naam thonsyna hi hoga nahi suna tho ab aun le Srisainath.k so wat I meant is u don't learn or do acting u become acting ur originally ty polish it so if u so that u can play any character ok ...😅
Archana Puran Singh's son in the acting class
Acting is not pretending, acting is being..most actors / stars in our films pretend
Great work sneha , you should consider acting (but please continue doing what you do also 😝)
Acting - Many Actor's Said U Must Have That Germ Of Acting So That U Can Polish it.
It Seems Actor's are born not made. 😐
YRF will sign Sneha Now... Likh diya 🤪
Talking about acting and there's literally a picture of Janhvi Kapoor in the background. 😂😂
Still she had shown her potential in some of her recent films like good luck Jerry, bawal,gunjan saxena etc
@@cineholic88 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you guys are funny af 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kabse comments mein bolta tha sneha try for acting 😂aaj mil gaya pudding ka proof😂
The scene work was clearly inspired by Revilutionary Road. 😬
Something seems to have gone a little off. Sneha looks a little peeved.
Probably nervous about performing her scene :)
yes i felt weird vibes too
Aaj sabzi kaunsi banegi? 😍✌️
Clearly, the male actor performed really well, but she didnt mess up in spite of being the weaker one.
Try to born nxt time srk son..
The start of this episode is bull. Changing the written script to suit the actor? Then is that person an actor at all? Can they pretend or are they just being themselves? James Cameron told Leo di Caprio to go away when the latter suggested changes to his character in Titanic. And I would like to see Atul tell someone like SLB to change his writing just because of the actor casted.
Many “stars” of B’wood can’t act. The more we call this out, the less we celebrate celebs who can’t act, or acting coaches who change scripts to suit their star, the better our stories will be.
I dont think he actually meant changing the script. I think what he tried to say was to understand the character in a way that it can be decoded by the respective actor. And different actors would perform it different way making sure the character is not lost. Isnt what the coach is supposed to do. I guess. But i totally agree to the second part you said.
No amount of teaching can help the nepokids
Why don’t you Speak in Hindi!! I am so sick of these
Sneha, kudos♥️🤌
What a natural!
Love this.
Dayumm…you can act as well…to add to what sir said..I liked the part when the guy kept the half eaten cucumber and when you picked it you were frustrated and you cut the top and kept it aside…I don’t think that was scripted but the character would exactly do that…kudos…🫡🫡🫡
Glad you noticed :) - Sneha
