The Malayalam film industry looks like it belongs to another country. The quality is in a different level
Some movies, yep.
Every country has mix of cinema . No country produces the same type of movies . So Malayalam cinema belongs to its current country.
Like a poorer, less educated one?
Less educated 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Tatopotatoo bollywood also only few movies get hit
it is same for all industries not only malyalam
National Awards lost its credibility after Allu Arjun was awarded with best actor!!
It was just next level craziness.
Not only allu arjun it started wen saif Ali khan won in 2004 fro hum tum😂 Hrithik was deserved for lakshya and SRK for swades in 2004
And what about akshay in rustom😅
It lost in 2018 itself....😂 Ayushman khuranna got for andhadhun....
It was really for shri mammootty (PERANBU movie)❤
Last year it was for manikandan (Movie JAI BHIM)....❤
@@rakeshkrishna4661 yeah. But for a mass masala movie, an award was like too much.
It's like vin Diesel or Chris Evans getting best actor Oscar for fast furious & captain America respectively
@@rakeshkrishna4661 Ayushman is still better than Allu Arjun , akshay kumar getting award . Also Surya , Dhanush , Manoj Bajpai Also got awards too btw
Anupama ma'am is back to her savage self. And we are living it 😂
nobody takes Filmfare or even for the matter national award seriously. They themselves have reduced their values 😅
Oscar k hisab se dark knight dumb movie thi

What about you inviting Sara Ali Khan to give an acting masterclass despite her giving one abysmal performance after another? Where is your accountability?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
👏👏
One of the award shows where they presented Katrina Kaif an award and not Sridevi for English Vinglish - when even Katrina said on stage, "I really should be presenting YOU this award." Truer words never spoken before.
No hope for the industry where a crap like Animal goes on to become one of the biggest hits. It clearly shows somethings are rotten in our society !
Crap on moral values
Masterpiece on cinematic values
Cry harder..
@@thesolitaryman2498You cry harder.😂😂😂
@@ArnobChakrobortty Typical low IQ dweeb who only repeats what others say.
Animal is not crap, it's just different. But by saying that I'm not implying that the movie is a masterpiece, let's accept it, it isn't a masterpiece in ANY way or form. But here we are judging a movie based on WHAT is is portraying , and I think we need to stop that. We need to judge a movie for what it's worth and not on what it portrays. Jab Pink aaya tha tab log is cheez pe movie ko hate kar rahe the ki ladkiyon ko prostitutes kaise dikha diya, ye wo. But why don't we just understand the fact that such individuals exist in society and a movie is not going to change anything in that aspect?
Being a part of film industry Anupama madam always blamed for taking sides of Hindi film industry
Of late I noticed she's more open and honest as far as her opinions and reviews are concerned
This particular video is an example of what she honestly feel about awards
We look forward to some more honest opinion, reviews and interviews from Anupama Madam
I don’t even watch awards anymore, now I think of it, I think awards were always this bad. I never realized it when I was a kid but thankfully now I am more mature and watch content that worth my time
Vidhu Vinod Chopra is your husband......wtf ..... How come only now I am getting to know of this......I AM STUNNED......
anupama's job is to make sure ananya pandey and sara ali khan don't feel left out and feel validated by coming to interviews here
I’d argue that the Oscar’s isn’t even a platform of enduring credibility though. The kind of politics that happens behind Oscar’s campaigns is actually crazy once you start reading about it.
I believe you cannot make art a competition and so award shows are inherently antithetical to the spirit of art and creation. But they do serve a purpose of celebrating great cinema. Maybe there needs to be an upheaval in how we choose to celebrate it though.
Kudos to the FC team for speaking out about this!
Anupama - you should give out a Film Companion Award called the "Best Award show Award," which would be awarded to the award show that has been the best award show among the various award shows that have been awarding away awards with convoluted award categories.
😂😂😂
Arrey kehna kya chahte ho?
After seeing the guests in the interviews in your channel, waiting for the video-
Reality of Film Companion.
Very well said.. stop giving actors so much importance… she is right.. make the ceremony like oscar such that every actor will attend… and sponsors dont have to beg them… if not oscars , atleast make it like golden globe or sag…
To be very honest, it doesn't seem like most movies are being made with the kind of professionalism it takes.
Movies like Fighter, Pathaan, Jawaan are blockbusters. But who are we kidding? The dialogues were messy, Deepika looked pretty but did the same acting, the others as usual didn't act (barring Fighter). These were the movies that we're expected to boast about. Kalank felt like it would've made sense 40 years ago. Well, Pathaan, Jawaan also seemed like they were great movies that should've been made in the early 2000s.
Directors like Konkona, Sanjay Leela, Mira Nair create an atmosphere of prestige on the film sets that makes it worthwhile for all professionals to bring in their best. The others just felt like there was spare change, so people decided to make movies out of it.
Don't even get me started with the massy non-Hindi movies. They may be great entertainers for some folks.
But must they really be awarded at all?
Just because mediocre movies are becoming blockbusters doesn't mean that they are the only movies getting made. For example, last year there were also movies like OMG 2, 12th Fail, that may not have been highest grossers but were certainly much better movies. Great movies are made, but don't always get recognition.
@@Anonymous-bf5fk okay.. and?
You guys should continue organising CCA as the principles of this award are strong. Over a long time, I bet the actors would come around to support it.
Alia winning an award for that shit is a joke...wonder how they act like clowns knowing they dont deserve it.Even her deserving wins falls short in front of such ridiculousness.
Indian awards are "i scratch your back, you scratch my back"
Thanks parveen bhai. You were amazing
From a non Indian pov, I used to like bollywood for all the cultural aspects that were different from the west. But now watching bollywood movies feels like watching western movies except I have to read subtitles...
Very well said Anupama Chopra 👍🏼
Everything in indian awards has had a downgrade awards are given to popular performances rather than powerful one idk how alia bhatt one one for rocky rani even the performances are boring now long are the days gone of iconic performances that would get embedded in ones memory
Mean while national award: best actor allu arjun for pushpa 😮😮
The day Akshay and Kangana ranaut were given national awards, it was the final nail in the coffin of prestigious national award one will yearn for. Today awards shows are heavily polarized and gone too political.
👏👏👏
Kangana won her first national award all the way back in 2008 with fashion lol.. she has won 2 under congress and 2 under BJP for all iconic films , for which she won every other award out there too... you ppl are literally 🤡
Kangana's national award for Fashion, Queen and TWMR were justified, but after that, I don't think so.
Best Comedy:- Hindi cinema
My long time wish is that National Film Awards to be conducted and celebrated as OSCAR afterall Indian Cinema Industry is also contributing for our Indian Economy Growth.. And it deserves a big celebration..
Oscar is a long shot even in their wildest dream, anyways I don't consider Oscars to be a benchmark, no point criticizing bollywud, the real culprits are the patrons who help celebrate mediocrity for generations, forget Malayalam cinema, Marathi cinema have given them a gap of 50 years
There's a reason why Oscars are the most prestigious film award all over the world because the stakes are very high, nobody gets a consolation award because they're a nepotism kid. As long as there are consolation awards in Filmfare, IIFA, Cine, they won't get the same respect as Oscars or even a BAFTA.
Just search the controversies on Oscar.. like how Jennifer Lawrence and Merryl Streep got continuous awards... U will find some names. . all the best
Stars need to know that not every moment has a price negotiated by their managers .
There will no iconic moments
Maybe it’s time to focus on restructuring film industry and make it corruption free. I mean make an environment for genuine talented ppl to make place.
Hindi Cinema has to invent something new and original, they can't emulate Oscars (et al) model. Even Oscars have been losing their sheen as of late. Oscars had an easy start, way back when the industry was tiny, relatively speaking. They have a prestige built up from decades, which some would argue is already on the decline. Today we stand amidst different time, and frankly, different people.
In an ideal world, Awards should be by the Artists, for the Artists. By virtue of it being a profit-seeking TV show, they are the opposite. People who want profit arrange them, and they are made for lowest common denominator crowd, who (I'm sorry to say) aren't that concerned about Art. In short they are neither by the Artists, nor for the Artists. Artists are just in the middle, getting played.
This is how you get award ceremony gimmicks that try to go 'viral' in order to get Advertising money. And that's the root of it all - depending on Advertiser's money.
It is a hard truth to accept but you cannot marry the two motives, i.e. Arts and Profit-seeking sustainably without compromising integrity. You have to think wayy out of the box if you truly want a meaningful "Award", a true token of honour (whose primary goal is celebration and appreciation of Arts). You cannot do it with traditional, hierarchical thinking.
Artists need to form guilds (Ideally Unions but let's face it, this is new India), nominate and elect judges themselves. They need to communicate with each other, they need to have a physical (or virtual) forum. That's when Artists will respect the awards. The award ceremony can then be truly a celebration, instead of it being a 'programme'. This is 2024, the ceremony can be streamed online (even here on CZcams) for all they care - in fact it might reach a larger audience than TV.
Where will the money for all this come from? Not Advertisers. A collective fund, maybe. Some fields even have governments fund it (see how Booker/Nobel/etc non-advertiser-dependent prizes are handled). A non-artist will respect the awards even more as well. People won't get rich off it, and that is (should be anyway) the point.
If we are the greatest film industry in the world, as vouched for by Rani Mukherji, why do our awards suck big time. The bigger problem with the industry is that it lacks proper guilds that are willing to come together to create a larger film academy that can then be entrusted to create a worthy awards ceremony. CINTAA and the producers guild are their own isolated thing, and the other technical guilds are basically small cliques. There is no coherence within the industry. So what remains are awards shows managed by film magazines or one ministry run awards function that looks like a sarakari udghaatan samaroh (governmental inauguration ceremony) which are managed by pliable juries. The fundamental thing is that everyone is out for themselves and their own self aggrandizement and there is no interest in what serves the larger industry better. And studios have little say in India. The stars run the show and they treat awards shows like they weddings they get paid to attend, manage my hotel booking, pay for me and my agent and give me an award or I am a no show. Frankly, Bollywood, and that is the name that should be used for it, is a jealous lot and everyone is looking for affirmation, even if it comes at a good price or a pathetic lip-synced performance. But hey, who cares about awards when we have the greatest film industry in the world, right?
‘Hot & Techy’ means a boomer is drooling over a young person who knows something about a phone.
Awards should be earned, not dished out. Bollywood has tremendous talent. These ridiculous awards are diluting it.
Neither the audience nor the awardees take any award seriously in India, even the national awards are not being respected these days. we are way far from creating a voting system similar to the Oscars!!
Nice
WE CAN HAVE MORE FUN AWARD SHOWS.
Does anybody want to take a guess as to who is the "star" being reffered to here?
Pushpa?😂
Who@@muhammedmurshid7034
🔥🔥🔥
Where to watch critics choice awards show?
hotstar
Kangana Ranaut refusing to attend filmfare when she won for Queen and TWMR, and threatening to sue them when they nominated her for thalaivii... That's how you treat bikao pan masala awards 🔥🔥
In India:- National Awards & Filmfare Award &
In Hollywood:- Oscar, Golden Globe, British Academy Film Awards,Directors Guild of America Awards, Grammy Awards
Audacity to add " Stylish" prefix to every award. !!
SRK stopped coming to filmfare after they stopped giving him trophies 🤣😂
Also, these awards were just about insulting each other's films rather than appreciating them..
What about reality of critics
Why don’t you talk about reality of your movie reviews
How Bollywood comes up with different award show with different name and still many hindi celebrities attend it..
And the award show credibility is dead in India
How can one movie win the best film without winning an award for best story, director, screenplay, actor etc?
Happens only in India!!
Their was a crediblity to National awards but now its given not on merit but for the affliation to a certain party!! So that too gone with the wind!!
Can Hindi cinema do better? They are doing very well with the fabulous artists like Shefali Shah and Pankaj Tripati. But unfortunately more room in the industry is taken up by people who are simply not skilled but are forced to stay, so they resort to glam, glitz and promotions instead of focusing on the craft, in order to just keep it afloat.
Thank you Anupama mam. Someone had to do this. Hindi cinema awards are a sham. No credibility at all. have lost complete interest in watching them.
Hindi cinema might do better if critics like you grow some spine and call a spade a spade and not "a sincere effort".
I find reviews not so relevant too.. liking is subjective but most of the time ignore bad acting
I agree with you Ma'am.
When it comes to cinemas Bollywood is a remake of all industry , Malayalam industry is a reality cinema which portrays the real life incidents where as kannada cinema is less compared to all entertainment industry where as telugu cinemas are meant for commercial cinemas with grandeur visuals and tamil industry refers to the mixup of reality and commercial cinemas nowadays the director of tamil cinema are in demand for both telugu and hindi cinema because they are coming from different lifestyle and environment.... They are making class and mass cinemas at par level....moreover we have to accept that filmmakers from south are shining more than Bollywood just because bollywood is just focusing on making films trying on par with Hollywood films leaving the reality of our lifestyle in india... These award function are fake...m
3 body problem review?
Why not rebrand national award and convert it into global award show like oscar... govt. Will sure back it up if some good people without agenda lead the effort...
Ek do baar modiji and ambaniji ko bila lijiyega sab baki khud aa jaenge... it will also boost our soft power and give a good platform to show indian cinema to world not only bollywood... plus being slated against world will give more inventive yo make better movies..
It’s time for ONE award contest across India WITHOUT a “jury/popular choice” category that has nominations announced (unlike National award). This holds all actors, directors, story writers, producers to a far higher standard than the current system.
Consider 2023 itself: is the best actor Mohanlal, Ranbir, Vikrant, Nani? They would all be nominated and competing for one award, so a nomination itself indicates stellar talent, which each of these 4 displayed that year.
Just like the caption when will Anupama come up with unbiased and better reviews rather than being a disguised PR for useless star kids.
Thats cos none of them deserve a best actor award..let them be happy with these terms..
They should start a best PR team award for celebrities. SRK and Deepika will win it every year coz every media house and reviewer is in their deep pockets
To malayali crowd boasting about the industry everywhere. Could you please shut up and enjoy the admiration rather than creating a hatred towards the industry ?
Do remember the era between 2005-2015 range, the shit after shit. Now a days unless a film is above average it cannot create revenue due to the fact that people only goes to the film if it gets a great review. കാണാൻ ആഗ്രഹം ഉള്ളവരെ കൂടി വെറുപ്പിക്കാതെ
But why should we follow the west ?? Just cause 5 of them show up to present awards, is that our inspiration? We are culturally different than the west, we must first acknowledge that...our films are very aspirational...everyone is fighting their own battles to make their understanding of what is cinema to them..we want to acknowledge everyone, we are still influenced by subservience to our feudal masters...
No credibility left!!!
Kangana refusing to attend filmfares when she won for queen and TWMR and threatening to sue them when they nominated her for thalaivii, that's how you treat pan masala awards 🔥
If you think Oscars has credibility you are a novice! Do some digging before making such childish statements. One movie name will answer all of that Shakespeare in love won Oscar!
Indian film awards are nothing more than big fat punjabi sangeet functions where every uncle and aunty are called to give awards to their kids and there is more attention given to the performances... It's nothing more than a reality TV show..with cringe hosting and bad jokes with pre-programmed laughter and applause.. 😂😂😂
Kangana spoke about this years back
oscars have gone down the drain the day they introduced divercity qota
Most boring awards nowadays 😂 boring to see movies like meaning less action movies..hope they make sensible movies
What about the bias in your own channel? Like ignoring Rani Mukerji?
FILMSTARS SHOULD BOYCOTT SUCH REALTY SHOWS WHICH THEY CALL AWARD SHOWS
The Hindi industry..is becoming cringe day by day. It somehow appears to be a place about just image building and ones external appearances than the craft of filmmaking. Hope a saviour arrives soon.
No offence but bollywood as of recent has become more buisness oriented than artistry box office obsession is at a peak everyone is chasing a hit they are making films with same plot lines same actors everything so stereotypical so ego related and upon making bad films their defence is box office in 5 years no one will remember these films idk growing up or looking at previous work the story acting making a great film was a priority and the box office followed a great film today actors sit in intervies and yap about taking risks but idk actors before them took way bigger risks and made better films thats why their names will be always remembered as for todays so called stars they are obsessed upon acting like a star most of them if they stop acting in a year or 2 they will be completely forgotten
All valid points, but why is your tone exactly same in every video? Whether it's film review or such progressive "speeches", you sound like a fixated narrator.
Who's that actor?😂
Cant blame the stars alone, award function organizers are also to be blamed but then they are all private companies caring more about making than about purity of awards or award shows. Even the show anchoring is so mediocre and get sick and tired of seeing same faces again and again like Karan Johar. There only a little of merit left in these award shows main due to decent quality of on stage performances (only some though).
dadahesahab for nayantha and srk for jawan was joke
and allu arjun national award was joke
jawan was far better than all other shits in 2023 and SRK vikram rathore was next level
*Hindi movie awards are cliched just like some of the movies. the poor needs an air conditioner and so they are box office hits* it is LOUD and a SHAME to the art called acting. and a far outcry from the South Indian ones (TTKM) which we started watching in 2014.
And that the producers are underworld kings and - dawood bhaiya ko pranam said rishi kappor coouple of times says it all.
Nothing to hide award 😂
Main bhi ek award shop kholne wala hoon.... great business
Areee annu jab Tera hubbi ne patharo BN pe tilak laga kar hamare astha ko count karta hai, yaar tum ek halala topic per bhi movie nikali sakte ho, u r great on this issues, so every time we will be wAiting for u😢
Hindi cinema is doing good, why don''t you consider your own husbands movie 12th fail the best movie ever
They can’t do it better . They are the worst . There is no intent to get out of the star worship system. Hindi cinema awards shows will continue to suck for decades .
There's no value in awards..
National awards are also given to those who promotes government programs
None of these matter, when it’s clear that awards are bought and the shows are super rigged. Credibility of these shows died a long time ago. You don’t have to whitewash as if you are above it. Stop giving undue credit to undeserving actors
Hint : Filmfare ( recently Alia buying the best actress award)
Whan can you expect when awards shows are sponsored by Vimal pan masala.
Awards are shit because Alia and Ranbir get awards for mediocrity. Why didn't Vikrant Massey got best actor filmfare, his movie was hit and better than animal. But only nepos get mainstream awards and other actors inspite of good film never breakthrough the barrier. Worst nepos like Ananya and janvi get awards personalised for them as you say. Ranveer was much better than Alia in rocky rani but he was ignored. Why would anyone wants to be generous if mediocrity is winning?
and ranvir singh giving senti speeches and getting all emo when winning these made up awards lol
The oscars are just as credible as your wothless opinions in movies
They dont even feel embarrassed picking up crap awards like that, but i guess this crap still gets viewership
Kangana taking national awards is a bheek from BJP
Glad you guys changed the name of this channel. "Reviews and More" was a terrible name
All blame should be on Karan Johar, SRK, Adi Chopra. From the time we used to make some good movies with Amitabh Bachchan great actors to making SRK a superstar. No doubt it was a degrade. Only actor who tried something good in my generation was Aamir Khan.
SRK has given many great films like: Darr, Baazigar, Swades, Chak De India, MNIK, Dear Zindagi, etc. And, even though many of his films in the recent past are mediocre, he at least experimented with new concepts, like Ra One, Fan and Zero. Apart from Aamir Khan, even Akshay Kumar & Ajay Devgn have been pretty versatile, even Salman Khan in the 90s and 2000s was trying in new genres.
@@Anonymous-bf5fk those great films according to you are all cringe, none made an impact or took Bollywood in a right track or progressive track 😂
@@Anonymous-bf5fk correct 💯
"It's pathetic lust for the Oscars" is the best way to describe all these Indian channels obsession with anything and everything from the "West" -
Sure but it does not change the crap quality of most of our awards either.
You call it Hindi cinema and talk like you came from los angeles. Why not have some relatibility to the ground and normal public. Hindi me baat karlo. Derived fake Sophistication has ruined hindi film industry and even the reviewers. And inko samkhane ke liye engliah me hi batana oad raha hai. What an irony
You should review how your son Agni Chopra got suspended after he abused the selectors and the coach. I'm sure some people will throw up if they hear what your son said. You can also elaborate how bad parenting has caused it and is effecting the society negatively. It will be a great watch.
You should get a life. You’re a better example of bad parenting clearly
Why should Bharatiya Civilization take lessons from the Hollywood or West as far as ART is concerned?????
By comparing with Oscars one is promoting Western slave mindset and inferiority complex with respect to PERFORMING ARTS.
BHARAT is the birth place of Performing Arts since thousands of years.
The incredible diversity and traditions of Performing Arts found in India even today is nowhere across the World.
Bollywood Ecosystem is run by all those who lack Artistic Mindset (From the Bharatiya Civilization point of view) and have Westernised Woke xenophobic mindsets.
Polluted and corrupt minds are not capable of making good content.
Even the so called critically acclaimed movies are "Garbage Pro Max" and have been blown up by Critics with Westernised slave mindsets.
Technically Indian Cinema is "UN-INDIAN".
Sadly, all awards are now a joke in India. Nobody takes it seriously.
