Andhadhun at IFFM 2019 I Rajeev Masand

At the tenth edition of #IndianFilmFestivalofMelbourne (IFFM) in August 2019, the team of #Andhadhun - leading lady #Tabu, director #SriramRaghavan and producers Sanjay Routray and Ajit Andhare - explained how they made this crowd pleasing thriller. The team sat down for a chat with #RajeevMasand and shared stories from the making of the film.

[@ramithaweerasekare6589]

I am glad that IFFM gave the best actress award to Tabu as she was snubbed by most of the award ceremonies in India. She definitely deserved the best actress award over Alia Bhatt in Raazi. I think National Awards was a close call cuz Keerthy Suresh was outstanding as well. Tabu is the Meryl Streep of India.

Tabu is top actress.. Nobody can be that sincere.. Tabu is so emotional and so much powerful actress

Absolutely people or atleast I had to watch it 2-3 times that's what a Sriram Raghavan movie does fantastic story telling in his own unique way I am a big fanhe makes some captivative cinema superb concept

You should probably try watching "Ulidavaru Kandanthe", the 2014 Kannada thriller based on the Rashomon effect style of film making

[@ritwikghosh7743]

The most underrated thing about the film was its music. Amit Trivedi created a gem which hardly got appreciated. Special mention about the piano pieces. Trivedi showed the magic that piano can bring alone...

[@Timepass-cx1do]

Not underrated bro , everyone praises the music. Their videos may not have gained views on youtube. But andhandhun's music has great audio value and we're hits on music streaming platforms.

Such a grounded person Shriram, you get the feel that anyone could approach him and start a conversation. Always willing to pass the credit to his cast and crew. Looking forward to what's next.

[@joydeep6582]

Casting tabu in the film best thing

[@Joonrao]

I am slightly disappointed with the fact that there was no discussion on the amazing soundtrack of the film. It could have been a very good topic. I would have also liked if there was some discussion on the other supporting characters played by Radhika Apte, the doctor played by Zakir Hussain (I think), etc.

Tumbbad deserved the national award.. Andhadhun was second best.

[@sudipmitra9]

I so very much agree with you!! Andhadhun is a brilliant movie and so is Badhai Ho! But Tumbad is a film completely different from what has been done in it's genre. It deserved more than what it has got whether by box office returns or recognition. Really the most underrated film in recent times. And the background music. It still haunts me.

I watched this interview for first 30 mins and got a feeling Not enough credit given to "Ayushman Khurrana". People including Tabu dying to take the credit of success and intentionally avoiding fine performance of Ayushman.

[@manikaur9405]

Sumit Mangal i don’t think she is taking undue credit. The thing is Tabu has always been underrated and is finally getting recognition especially for someone in her 40s is a great thing. Ayushmann should have been here for the film festival.

[@poorvaabhyankar6521]

Rajeev Masand must work on his oration. I frequently watch his interviews and his way of asking the questions is not up to the mark. He stammers, cuts his own sentences in half, and talks a lot before asking a question.
