- Ravish Kumar is one of India's most accomplished journalists, known for his stint with NDTV India. But what is it like to be inside his mind? In this vodcast interview, filmmaker Vinay Shukla talks about his experience filming Kumar in intimate spaces, the CZcams leak of the documentary, and the state of Indian media and NDTV.
Shukla's documentary, 'While We Watched', is a fly-on-the-wall look at Kumar's life and work. The film follows Ravish as he battles the external threats of violence in an ever-polarized national climate, and an internal dilemma between what the market wants, and what his brand of journalism stands for.
In this interview, Shukla talks about the challenges of filming a complex portrait of a public figure. He also discusses the CZcams leak of the documentary, which happened after it was aired on American television. He offers his own insights into the state of Indian media and NDTV, the news channel where Kumar has worked for over two decades.

Already watched on CZcams but will watch again whenever it will be released in theatre.. and will gift tickets to friends.. and I suppose a lot of us will do same.. so don't worry about film making profit..
My parents are septuagenarians, never watched a movie in the theatre after their 30s. Now, this movie/documentary will be the only movie they will watch on big screen. Eagerly waiting for theatre release.
Even though I have watched it in CZcams...but I will re watch if released in theater.
Although the pirated doc appeared in my feed, I didn't watch it. I even reported it. I will only watch once it gets released in theatres.
Saw this movie in BIC today and will definitely gift tickets to my friends when it is released in theaters. Such precious and important work!
I will watch this movie in the theatre ❤❤ not on CZcams
But if it's leaked on youtube, then why wasn't it removed
Their team is trying to get it down, but..... THE INTERNET 🙃
I am waiting to watch in theater.
Yes, plz do. As I said in the chat, it's a full on masala movie with a strong emotional core!! Perfect for a theatrical viewing...
Until BJP is power, we'll keep waiting
Maine dekh lia h par vapas dekunga theatre pe
Ravish kumar 🎉🎉
I didn't watched it on CZcams
Hum dekhege paise deke
Mujha laghta hai ki aap jaan-bujh kar movie leak keya ho.😂😂
A little to late.
The news room fight with the was entertaining. Nothing new otherwise.
The practice of speaking few words in english and then few words in hindi and again few words in hindi... It makes me irritated. Is it a skill or shortcomings? Why don't they speak fully either in hindi or english? Not sure what should we call to such trend!
Anyway, film is available in youtube. Those who lives in India and is aware of Ravishji and Godi media already since 2014, nothing new to watch in the movie.
Jahilo ka patrakar ki movie?
