- “Sometimes, I see people mocking me on social media saying things like ‘Sibi Malayil minus Lohithadas is zero’. There is a lot of truth to that,” says the director, as he opens up about his comeback Kotthu and his last meeting with Lohithadas, weeks before he passed away.

Great interview. The questions evolved organically from the new movie to old - very respectfully and thoughtfully managed, which is why the legend opened up. Cheers!
Thank you Vivek!
Seeing the comments here, makes me say this.. Sibi Malayil is one of the best directors. No question about it. He is not a writer, so what? All the Lohi movies that he directed, while they are good and emotionally touching, if they were directed by Sibi, it must have been way above than what it is today. No question about it. The combo is the best. We have to accept that. Like Sathyan anthikkad and srini, like MT and Hariharan. We have very few such magical combos. Just respect both.
Lohi and MT are the two writers who could emotionally to heart surgery of the viewers. No one else did it so consistently. There are other movie makers who did it at once or twice, but not with the consistency that these two did. They just knew that magic.
The tragedy of Malayalam movie is - no one in today’s movie making are coming anyway close to these legends. Of course there are one time and occasional successes. But not where a movie maker is so consistent like these legends. Wish they lasted more. 🙏
This is,by far, your best interview Vishal. Keep it coming.
Thank you!!
Loved vishal's questions. Really asking the questions film-lovers want answers to.
Glad that you liked it!
Please add subtitles to this interview. I am from Maharashtra, Pune. I follow your channel. English subtitles will make it more universal.
സിബി മലയിൽ ഇല്ലങ്കിൽ ലോഹിദ ദാസ് ഇല്ല എന്ന് മാറി ചിന്തിപ്പിച്ച ഇൻ്റർവ്യൂ.ലോഹിയിലെ എഴുത്തുകാരനെ ബഹുമാനിക്കുന്നു, പക്ഷെ സംവിധാന വഴിയിൽ ലോഹി സിബിയോട് ചെയ്തത് നീതിക്ക് നിരക്കാത്തതാണ്.. സിബി മലയിലിന് മാത്രം സാധ്യമാകുന്ന ചില രംഗങ്ങൾ എന്നും അവിസ്മരണീയമാണ്, അത് തുടർന്നും സംഭവിക്കട്ടെ....
Superbb Interview! Sibi opened up and shares so much of his feelings. Good interviewer!
ഒരു നടന്റെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ പരാജയം സിബി സാറിന്റെ സിനിമയിൽ അഭിനയിക്കാൻ പറ്റുന്നു ഇല്ല എന്നത് ആണ്

Great interview Vishal, showed genuine curiosity and empathy towards the interviewee making him comfortable to open up👍👍👍😍
Sibi malayil displayed level headness and maturity throughout the interview which make me feel like movie will be of high calibre. Most of the other 90s legend who try to comeback always talk immaturily and shy away from being criticized always give disappointing movies like sn swamy, k madhu, rajasenan, balachandramenon, shaji kailas etc.
Vishal done a great job..! Superb interview 😍
കാണാക്കിനാവ് എന്ന സിനിമുടെ പ്രതിസന്ധി ഘട്ടത്തിൽ ലോഹിതദാസ് അങ്ങയെ ഒത്തിരി സഹായിച്ചു . പിന്നീട്‌ ആ സിനിമ ഒത്തിരി അവാർഡുകൾ വാരിക്കൂട്ടിയപ്പോൾ നിങ്ങൾ രണ്ടുപേരും നിശബ്ദത പാലിച്ചു .
Wow... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT EFFORTS... GOD BLESS YOU ALL... Solly teacher Calicut
Very genuine answers from Siby sir. തനിക്കു വേണ്ട സ്ക്രിപ്റ്റ് മനോഹരമായി ഒരു റൈറ്ററെ കൊണ്ടു എഴുതിപ്പിച്ചു എടുത്തു visualise ചെയ്യുന്നവനാണ് Director. നല്ല സംവിധയകരുടെ backing യിൽ ആണ് നല്ല സ്ക്രിപ്റ്റ് ജനിക്കുന്നത് . ചുമ്മാ അങ്ങ് എഴുതുക അല്ല..പരസ്പരം ചർച്ച ചെയ്ത് എഴുതി വാങ്ങുകയാണ് .അതാണ് ലോഹിതദാസ് + സിബി മലയിൽ സിനിമ
Very very good question s bro !
ഇപ്പോൾ എവിടെ നോക്കി യാലും സിബിമലയിൽ സാർ ആണെല്ലോ, Living legend ❤️
Great interview. Kudos to the anchor and questions asked were very good. Very informative. Enjoyed from start to the end.
Great Interview
Very touching......

One of the best interview in recent times
Best wishes സിബിച്ചാച്ചാ ❤️❤️❤️

Lohitdas sir is one and only film director ✍️ writer in the world who can write ✍️ bounded film 🎥 script in 25 days
A world class screen play writer
Miss Lohitdas sir very much
good interview
മലയാളത്തിലെ എക്കാലത്തെയും മികച്ച സംവിധായകരിൽ ഒരാളാണ് സിബി മലയിൽ. എന്നിട്ടും ലോഹിതദാസ് ഇല്ലങ്കിൽ ഇയാൾ ഒന്നുമല്ല എന്ന് കുറെ വിഡ്ഢികൾ പറഞ്ഞ് നടക്കുന്നത് കാണാം. ലോഹിതദാസ് ഇല്ലാതെ തന്നെ പത്തിൽ അധികം മികച്ച സിനിമകൾ ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ട് സിബി മലയിൽ.
വളരെ നല്ല ഇൻ്റർവ്യൂ...👌👌👌
❤️
Nice question updation in making have to follow. May be one travel reading. New comers writing style have to adopt priyadharsan sir did in oppam film great change it was
U R A GREAT HUMAN BEING
Ousepachan Vaalakuzhy എന്ന പ്രൊഡ്യൂസർക്കു വൻ വിജയം നേടിക്കൊടുത്ത "സ്വാന്തനം ' സിബി സാർ ആണ് ഡയറക്റ്റ് ചെയ്തത് . എന്നിട്ടും കാരുണ്യത്തിൽ അയാൾ കാണിച്ചത് മോശമായി പൊയി .
Add English Subtitles
Sibi malayil's strength is drama. Good drama will never get out of date.getting engaging script is key
സിബി സാറിൻറെ രണ്ടാമത്തെ ചിത്രത്തിൻറെ (ചേക്കേറാൻ ഒരു ചില്ല) എന്ന ചിത്രത്തിൻറെ നിർമ്മാതാവായിരുന്ന നടൻ ശങ്കറിന് സാറിൻറെ അടുത്ത ചിത്രത്തിൽ ഒരു വേഷം നൽകണം.ശങ്കർ എന്നും കുടുംബപ്രേക്ഷകരുടെ ഇഷ്ടനായകൻ തന്നെയാണ് തന്നെയാണ്
ഉണ്ടയാണ്
Oru caliberum illatha nadan
Thaniyavarthanam & karunnyam were both superb movies.
മനസ്സിലെ തീ പ്രേക്ഷകരിലേക്ക് ആളികത്തിച്ച സംവിധായകനും,എഴുത്ത് കാരനും....രണ്ടു പേരും കൂടി ഇനിയൊരു സൃഷ്ടി ഉണ്ടാവില്ല എന്നത് നമ്മുടെ തീരാ നഷ്ടം
sibi sir❤
കാരുണ്യം സിബി മലയിൽ ചെയ്യേണ്ട ചിത്രമായിരുന്നു.
Siby sir the best. ❤️
Could have asked him more about his new film.
Lohithadas sir നെ കുറിച്ചുള്ള Talk 25:00
Interviewer n Malayalam areele????
Sibi malayil is a great
കാണാകിനാവ് എന്ന ചിത്രത്തിന് മികച്ച തിരക്കഥകൃതിനുള്ള അവാർഡ് കിട്ടി. ഓർക്കണം, ലോഹിക് അങ്ങനെ ഒരു അവാർഡ് കിട്ടിയിട്ടില്ല. സിബി പറഞ്ഞ ലോഹി സെക്കന്റ്‌ ഹാഫ് എഴുതിയ സ്ക്രിപ്റ്റ് ഇതാണ്. ആ സിനിമ കണ്ടാൽ മനസിലാകും ഒരു ആവറേജ് എഴുത്തുകാരന് മുകേഷിന്റെ കഥാപാത്രം മരിച്ച ശേഷം എങ്ങനെ കഥ കൊണ്ടുപോകണമെന്ന് കൃത്യമായി എഴുതനാകില്ല.Communal conflict ഉരുതിരിഞ്ഞു വരുന്നത് വളരെ subtle ആയി കഥയിലേക് കൊണ്ടുവരികയാണ്. Only a brilliant writer can do it.
Evane ethu schoolila Sibi padippichathu? Try to keep the etiquette of interview.
Akkashadothu 😭
വളയം 👌👌👌
He failed to discover another writer in par with lohi and there started his beginning of failure.
His “Apoorvaragam” is an example of one of such failure.
I feel this interview is in bad taste and unethical to be presenting one sided stories of a person and his choices when he isn't here any longer to speak for himself. Tactfully throwing in a few words to say, "Lohi was gullible" or "i wouldn't blame Lohi" or "Lohi may have been in financial pressures" is the most sly way to try to send out a narrative that can't be disputed while appearing 'honourable'. No matter what personal experiences there may have been, this is not how people bury their hatches with the departed. The graceful way to have dealt with it would have been to say, "we did have our differences and difficulties in our relationship but I'm glad we were able to come to terms with it towards his end." The telling sign is when Sibi says, that when Lohi passes away, in hind sight it was a relief that Lohi had the opportunity to 'confess' before he passed on! Sounds like someone who's full of himself. Highly disappointing to see Sibi being gullible or crafty. And to think Film Companion thought the line of questioning doesn't seem too 'set up', is weird.
Oh and him mentioning about how Lohi came to his rescue and he didn't get credit for the help and that was acceptable to him as a director! Seems like someone who didn't want that man to explore his ability as a director and remain a writer at others disposal ... Had he not become a director, we wouldn't get such kanmadam, bhoothakannadi, kasturimaan, arayannamgalide veedu. He lived a short life. And he isn't here to tell his side of things.
This is not a promotion for a new movie. This is an attempt to convince those petty people who judge Sibi to be nothing without Lohi and I feel heartbroken to see that the fabulous Director Sibi sees himself through the eyes of these trolls and feel the need to convince them. And chose to justify it through this crass interview. Disappointing.
This guy always sounds very crooked and manipulative in his interviews. In every interview of his, he badmouths both Lohi sir and Mohanlal. Because once Lohi and Lal moved away from his films, people saw his real worth which is nothing. He is nothing without a good script writer and performers. So his whole credibility was at risk because people wrote him off saying that Lohi's script was that saved his ass in his hey days. So he tries maximum to belittle Lohi and his contribution to these films so that some naive audience might believe that he is the major creative force behind these movies. This guy made horrendous movies like Apoorva ragam and Flash! I don't even remember his non Lohi, non Mohanlal movies.
@@samuraiflixrockin How about Aakshadoothu, ustad, Summer in Bethlem, Pranayavarnanghal, Ente veedu apponteyum. These are non Lohi movies
@@sethumadhavan4500 I didn't find 'pranaya varnangal' and 'ente veedu apoontem' interesting. 'Summer in bethlehem' was loaded with superstars and the script ideas were copied from the American movies, 'Come September', and 'Fiddler on the roof'' and culturally adapted by Ranjith. Akasha Doooth is written by one of the strongest writers, Dennis Joseph based on an American TV movie, 'Who will love my children'. But I don't like that movie either. Usthad was rejected by Sibi Malayil himself saying that he made it under the manipulation of Shaji Kailas and Ranjith and he shouldn't have made a movie like that!!! It was written by Ranjith on the lines of Baatcha (veettil normal ettan, veliyil mega don). Nothing magical anywhere here.
@@sethumadhavan4500 the point being, that i hope this man had a modicum of honour in hin left to not badmouth Lohi who can not defend himself and to think Film Companion thought this yellow journalism is worthy of space and broadcaste is beyond me. Sibi may have done great work without even Lohi but is he so insecure he needs to do this? In which world can this kind of behaviour be justified! And there are so many to think this is a 'frank, open, graceful' interview! How is it people don't see the indecency in this anymore, i wonder!
He could have avoided discussing this topic now. But he has a point. Script writing and direction are entirely different arts and some may excel in both. But Lohitadas was not among them. Except Bhoothakannadi, all his works as a director, are lost opportunities.
Oru pathram polum maryadakku vayikkatha eyaal kku enthu koppile thought process aa? Luckily, he achieved a position which he doesnt deserve.
Oru paadu pavapetta writers nte story churandi eduthatha Sibi ninte sapam! Eni ne orikkalum kollavunna cinema cheyyillaa! SURE!
