Who all loved Mahaan and wanted a theatre experience?
Me
Nope it sucks
✋🏻
@@vijayashankar9129 Much more better than you Pushpa
@@iamironman6300 I never said Pushpa was good either, lol. First of all, how did you compare Pushpa with this 🤣. Pushpa was bullshit and this film wasn't good. So get it. I don't like both 👀
The interval scene when Dada meets Mahaan for the first time would have been simply phenomenal to watch at the theatres. The cinematography, colour palette, staging, music and dance were all on point!
That Irishman moment when Vikram talks to Sathyavan wife!! Pure class..
Ever since Master and the Deep Focus interview with Lokesh, this series of interviews has been something I always look forward to after watching a Tamil film!
Yeaaaa I have also thought of it
Not only tamil, the Deep Focus with Raj.B Shetty was also too too goood
Me too
Lol this is exactly me
Yeah
Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Vikram is just out of the world. His recent movie choices were not upto the mark but this was his best commercial movie performance post Annyan I feel.
Agree👍
Raavanan
Iru Mugan honestly was not bad at alll I actually enjoyed that movie!!
@@sushantbhat976 oh yeah..!!
His performances in his films were always good despite the film not being that great.
Karthik Subbaraj should consider writing full fledged 16 hour dramas like Korean and Chinese do. He has lot of thoughts and content but struggle to compress it down for 3 hour movie. Give him freedom to write and explore more with dramas. Hopefully Netflix or someone will give him such opportunity.
Exactly. He definitely needs to make a full fledged 16 hour drama or a web series.
Someone made a series called breaking bad , and Karthik subburaj renamed it as mahaan and is being lauded for his effort by you jokers 😂😂😂, woah , till the time , people like you exists , plagiarism will never end
@@annemoni1 I did watch parts of Breaking bad. While I agree many Tamil directors does get influenced from Hollywood content ( or copy for Hollywood like you say ), it’s good that someone deliver promising content. I mean, It is better to copy and try to progress than waiting for an innovative idea and stay stagnant down there. Two decades back China released Rokia ( copy of Nokia phone ), Zony ( copy of Sony) phone. We Indians were busy degrading them as copy and making fun of their quality while we did nothing. Today they are experienced and able to produce products which compete shoulder to shoulder with US.
So let’s not degrade and pull down the people who are contributing something for the better tomorrow 😅. Cheers.
@@Raja-mc3zt you should be ashamed to even support an idea like this , what shakes me about the guys like you and KS is that , despite everyone calling you guys out that you have copied the script , you shamelessly won’t we. give the Due credits to the original writer . Man no wonder you like him .
@@annemoni1 You can keep yelling at me and others like that. As long as the deed doesn’t affect the life of others, I don’t think it is something that condemnable. When Tamil movie market share gets global, the movies of inspiration and copy will be reduced since other country movie makers will start to sue us. Until then, they themselves know that these small budget movie makers aren’t a threat. So you can watch it if you like, else you shall leave them rather than trying to preach your text book principles which doesn’t suit real life. Thanks.
Glad that he never compromised anything in terms of the character development of “Mahaan”. The shaping up of his character, and his ascent from being a person who is shoved with ideologies - to becoming the one who creates his own empire was highly compelling. This is the kind of craftsmanship that I’m expecting from KS in his future projects.
a portion/scene which i really liked is the parallel to Gandhi's dream and the scene where he kills Sathyavan.
Both scenes-he does the same style of gun slinging, he lives heroically in his dream and feels happy, but in reality he is trapped in a life and aches for such a "cool" life.
But when he kills Sathyavan...he does do the same gun slinging, but he is alone. He doesn't even have a single individual he can trust; He is broken and alone, despite having it all he wanted-the money and the power.
Nice !
None of this was conveyed or filmed effectively in the movie. Probably if you want to read too much into the movie so you can have something 'intellectual' to say about it, then makes sense.
Good observation
But naduvula payan vanthathukaga, vikram avan best frnd (yaara kooda sendhu business panlam nu nenachona , frnd vendam nu solliyum business kulla izhuthu) payan vandga udane kondruvana?
Wow
There are four main cards in a pack ..king, queen ,ace ,joker. When joker comes into hand you always wants to hold the joker no matter which card you have to drop. Joker is Dhruv in this film. Quite a emotional drama between playing cards.
Mahaan is a film to remember for me. I loved it so much. It is deep and quite underappreciated by the audience. I hope Mahaan gets all the love and appreciation it deserves someday. I like the whole thought process of KS behind Mahaan. Expecting many such beautiful stories from KS.
It is appreciated now
One of the best movies of Karthik Subbaraj. Exceptional story teller... His style has its own identity and because of that he has a great future.
Sort of comeback for Vikram.. He is a great actor but at times tries to do some no brainer masala movies and fails to do justice to his talent. Just like Suriya, who did some great work in Soorarai Pottru and Jai Bhim, Vikram should concentrate or encourage young directors to come up with such projects..
Dhruv: Oh man.. what a young talent.. If this had been his first movie, it might have taken his career to the next level.. It was such an enjoyable experience
Thank you Karthik for bringing out the best from Chiyaan Vikram 🙏 It was so delightful to see him doing a character effortlessly without having any fancy dress gimmicks almost after a decade.Gandhi Mahaan is one of Chiyaan's best performances till date 💯 Like Gandhi Mahaan , I felt Sathyavan is the best from Bobby Simha after Jigarthanda. It was top notch from him💥 Dhruv Vikram is definitely going to be the next big thing in Tamil cinema.He is a pure star material 🔥 I really loved the film even though it has its own flaws❤️ Mahaan is undoubtedly the best Karthik Subbaraj padam after Iraivi 💯
Absolutely
I am from Andhra Pradesh...Absolutely loved the movie. Vikram and Dhruv are both too good. Best performance of Vikram after anniyan. Kudos to u man Karthik subbaraj. What a script..
KS must do a Film with Kamal Haasan.
Mahaan is more of a parenting guide, which also speaks about herd mentality when it comes to ideology, which unfolds amidst a gambling saga. Complex, yet simple!
I always love his Tarantino-ish shots
They are so damn good
886
Especially that intro scene. Dang! He nailed it
It's not Quentin Tarantino it's Sergio Leoni western movies ✨
43:58 when he says about split screen video edit becomes split and that was a nice touch.
The scene that comes at last where Chiyaan talks to sathyan’s wife is like de Niro talking to Al Pacino wife in the Irishman after killing him..🔥
Thank you for the spoiler 👌🏾
@@ajay.7788 😂😂😂😂😂
Don't care what people say I've seen Indian tarentino with his own mind and own voice he made impact like Tarentino on me and others like me. This guy will be huge in tamil cinima world.
Watched it in Kannada , totally loved it 🔥
i like the word, Karthik explain about the characterisation of "Naachi" AS Kolghai Theeviravathi
Finally, been waiting for this. Thank You.
This deep focus segment is way more interesting than the actual film. Wow! Inspiring.
Karthik subbaraju never expected this master class VIkram omg he lived the character
Sema Padam 🔥
A Karthik Subbaraj padam.. ❤️
Thank you so so so so much Film Companion for this interview! ❤❤❤❤❤
NEVER EVER STOP DOING DEEP FOCUS! 🙏🙏❤❤
Writing at its peak...!💥💥 hats off KS
Watched without skipping and with rewind 😋
Watched the movie. Such brilliant writing! Kudos to Karthik.
Your interviews make us watch the movie again boss.. u bring focus to so many scenes that after watching your interview I always want to see the movie again and understand better .. we get an other perspective after watching these interviews .. looking forward for all your interviews and the best thing is that u only focus on the movie and don’t deviate away from the movie.. wonderful sir :)
Well said,100% true
Excellent Movie 🍿😊👍
Chiyans Acting is Awesome
Congrats to Karthik Subbaraj and Team
I was Expecting this, Thank you Film Companion.
Very intense movie which is not easy to present. Karthik brings his sheer talent as usual with his story telling! As someone said in the comments, he should do Netflix kind of series, which will not constraint him to 2.5 hours.
Some scenes in mahaan were exceptionally staged. And they were just mind blowing:
1. Vikram's first fight scene... The way it was shot was just phenomenol... That shaky hand held camera shots.... Single take attempt... These experiments worked out so beautifully and made that fight even more appealing..
2. The conversation between Rocky, dada, Vikram characters.... In every crucial points during that sequence, a train moves outside and the color changes... The camera get shakes... So inventive scene...
3. That light flickering shot during conversation between sananth and Vikram in a street...
4. The last conversation between Bobby simha and Vikram was shot so intensely..
Ideology/extremism is more dangerous than liquor!! 100% true!
We could see these extremisms in social media these days sadly in Tamil community.
There is a 10cm x 10cm book called Quotable Quotes of Gandhiji by Bhavan's Gandhi Centre of Science and Human Values. It costs Rs.24. it is available in Chennai airport. I think Karthick Subburaj got it there when he went there to pass time before boarding one of his flights
The scene where satyavan discovers Christianity is like Samuel Jackson in pulp fiction
i dont know why but whenever I look at Karthik Subbaraj's face, he reminds of a 20yo kid Lol
I love this series... It kinda take us deep into the world of film making and it's pretty interesting....I watched master,sarpetta,maanadu deep focus and all were amazing. Keep going!
The screenplay and the acting in this movie is a masterclass
The movie was fantastic, your style of direction was really impressive. Vikram has proved again what a great actress he is. All the actors proved their best but the surprise was dhruv's acting.
Actress?
Really enjoyed an interview after lots of time, like karthik mentioned thilagu scene was my favorite man chiyaan was just superb, very happy watching chiyaan in a movie which can be celebrated after a long time, hope chiyaan scores back and impresses more with his ranjith movie, huge expectations on it excited abt it
Maahan story was damn good
#Mahaan purely loved every bit of the scenes but missed in big screens
#ChiyaanVikram 🔥🔥🔥
#DhruvVikram 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
& all supporting characters just wow 🤩
A KS padam 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Please upload subtitles! thanks!🙏 . Love FC South interviews!
After a very long time..we were able to witness the most wackiest chiyaan in mahaan..Despite some obvious flaws, chiyaan's performance carried the whole movie throughout..💥
@@jayantmalik3192 bro..pls grow up lah bro..nobody uses SIR behind nick names..what do you expect the fans to call their idols..thalapathy SIR, thala SIR, thalaivar SIR?
Mahaan is pure 💎
When vikram saves bobby's son he is god for him. When vikram couldnt save bobby's son he become evil for bobby nice touch
Enjoyed the interview🔥🔥
It would be helpful if you started putting time stamps to indicate the various topics covered during the interviews.
Thank u baddy sir for uploading this video
Much awaited🤝
Thank you for adding ths english subtitles. Please add subtitle on the Writer movie director's episode as well.
When i watched Mahaan, although i didn't enjoy it much, all I could think of is how beyond brilliant it would be to watch this movie in the theatre. After watching this interview, I like the movie way more than I liked it while watching it. The way Karthik Subbaraj's thought process works, is truly fascinating to me. Thanks for this interview, FC!
on point
Deep focus with Arun Matheswaran!!😌
Please interview Vikram sir,man has lot to express!
Finally a much need deep focus ❤️🔥
Karthik Anna baa tessav anna superruuu
Why have you stopped uploading the english subtitles? Please add them, sir.
51:19 I felt it ❤️❤️ 🔥🔥🔥
Really love these interviews but we can enjoy even better if subtitles are available
From this conversation and watching the movie twice, I guess we can compare the character arc of Gandhi Mahaan to that of Walter white of breaking bad, very similar.
He dint even credit him , in his filmography , sad part is , he’s talking like the whole idea is his , 😅
I had a nice time watching this interview :)
People say Tamil audience has changed, but see the difference in views for Deep Focus with Franklin Jacob(Writer) and Karthik(Mahaan). That one is one step better than this. But very few people agree.
After seeing the thumbnail, I think Karthik subbu is a making review like blue sattai maaran...
35:15 doubt cleared 💖💖💖
Please add subtitles sir..i cant understand tamil. .im big fan of kartick subbaraj his film's 🖤🖤🖤loved all
Excellent Karthick. Vikram has done a great job for the role . You should go for good actors like Vikram
Best movie in 2022 but too underrated loved each and every sequence in this movie u nailed it ksubburaj Anna Ksubburaj&Sana combo lit make Goosebumps u keep remains combined until your last movie thank you for presenting these kind of masterpiece to us love Karthik subburaj Anna expects more from you and chiyaan,dhruv sir performance astoning best rivarly in kollywood
Please do a Deep focus interview for
Kadaisi vivasayi
Biggest shocking revelation in this conversation is Baddy commute by Auto Rickshaw 24:46 :P
It's not a normal commercial movie. So many emotions charectors. Well written 👍
This Deep Focus series of interviews is something I really look forward to after watching any film these days. It really helps to elevate the film appreciation level, at least for me. The movie, Mahaan in this case, worked for me in parts and most of the questions BR had asked here had either crossed my mind while watching the film or had helped me notice certain aspects which I had missed initially. You may like the film or not, but the way Karthik Subburaj explains his writing and thought process, you cannot ignore the fact he is a writer-director with clarity and clear cut idea of what he is doing. I found the film far better that JT and Petta.
Exactly what blue sattai maaran Said about the quote at the opening 😂😂.
Movie has subtitles (and got dubbed ) we also want interview to have subs
Mahaan has an amazing storyline that everyone in an ideology should think about.. Good interview..
Karthi Mahaan!!!! Sambavam!
Guys can anyone please explain me the climax shot ?
Really super flim
Good interview vera level movie
Mahaan is Vikram and Karthick’s career best film according to me❤
Superb film❤❤❤❤❤❤
@1:11 blue sattai avar review la idhudhan sonaru
Good film.nice interview
Super sir
I liked the idea of the movie and movie to. But the screenplay could have been written more meticulously and beautifully.
A true masterpiece and Vikram is back with this
A strong return after i
(On a lighter note) @baddy ... idhellam too much a illa... Review la average movie nu madhiri sollittu, deep focus a ippo ... 😀
Anyways, good conversation and great to see how much effort he has put into writing each scene, character, their arc, their interaction, their relationships and overall a very good thoughtful movie. Gained huge respect back again on Karthik subbaraj after watching Mahaan and after seeing this interview (thats a lot of leap for me after Jagame thandhiram fiasco. JT didnt work for me even one bit)
Good movie excellent performance by everyone.
Karthik - a genius
Deep focus with Arun about Rocky would be nice! 🔥
I assumed the coincidental meeting of Sathyavan and Jnaanam was again an allusion to the card games. Like when you play rummy, and your hand is going ok but nothing great, and then you get a card from the deck in your turn, and it may have the chance to change the odds for you, suddenly you go on a winning path. That happens by chance, and same as the meeting of characters here at the opportune but unexpected moment
❤️🔥
34:40 Karthik: Reveal pannama pesanum na.......
36:30 Baddy: Screw you.
After seeing this, Its seems like some of script interpreted in different way by me than its original idea...I enjoyed the movie and this reasoning session..but climax sip by Dada still I can't convince to take karthicks angle
You missed celebrated kadaisila biriyani film.. Plz interview that director also
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Subtitles please.....FC!
Kudos to the editor of this video to include a split screen, when they were talking about split screen climax 😂
Pls include subtitles
Best tamil director!!
@@sathyananda5688 Karthik subbaraj aah?
