Anupama Chopra Exclusive: Film Companion Shutting Down, Bollywood & SRK | Karishma Mehta | Ep 85

[@KarunaDhoundiyal-p8n]

She is such a sweetie. I have worked in PR and got a chance to connect with her. She is very warm and exact the same as on camera.

[@shanayasinghania4414]

How did you get a chance to meet her? What can I do to get into PR?

[@Squishball5231]

Her being defensive about janhvi’s mediocre acting calling it “sincere effort “ will never fail to make me laugh

[@OyePapaJi]

She CAN be Bought. Don't take her Seriously.

[@daivasjallencherry4335]

Mine is when she invites Karan Johar in the year end roundtable after giving negative reviews to his films which are the reason for the hate Bollywood is receiving. Then he eats most of the time in that conversation..

[@gatech5190]

What credentials do you have to judge who is a good actor or not? All self-proclaimed critics think they are entitled to believe their opinions are accurate, and that others are not good at their job. tf Grow up.

[@Squishball5231]

@@gatech5190 Lmao calm down dear plastic kapoor team / plastic fan. The very audience decides who a good actor is. Go find your peace in plastic now

​@@Squishball5231 They could very well be plastic, but you still have no credentials or credibility.

[@ExplorewithElora]

Anupama Chopra, she is my most favourite person on the internet and it's primary because she is not from this internet generation. She is so sensible, soft spoken and never asks awkward and insensitive questions. Always a thorough professional, she is the gold standard in journalism. Always so vested in the person and process of the interview, she asks the most potent questions, not the generic ones. Her laugh eases the tension if any in the interview and her genuine compliments makes the other person open up easily. I so love her work and her team at Film companion. It has created the wave of film critique but none matched her.

[@MELIS_I]

But u close

[@aditisinha224]

I always wanted to see Anupama Chopra getting interviewed...I am in such awe of her and the love for films she has is just contagious...and it really makes me feel so good to hear Anupama Chopra say that she cannot strike up a conversation with someone outside the movies...I am sort of the same kind... Thank you team Humans of Bombay for making this interview happen...it was very interesting...well spent 50mins

[@tanyatango4197]

Even though the title is I am shutting down FC, no follow up questions were asked about why shutndown instead of passing the baton to someone else? What was the background or what was the reaction of employees, I mean so many things need to be clarified given FC had become such a big brand and ammassed so many loyal fans. They deserve a bit more explanation

[@bilalasghar6389]

true

[@krishniarumugam]

She has a new job and sold out to a bigger fish

[@PardaNotPrada]

Arre.. she didnot review any movie associated with his husband because of conflict of interest, ab if she is going to be with Hollywood reporter how can she still be associated with a platform which provides similar service or whatever (to Hollywood reporter)... That would again be a case of conflict of interest na... Atleast the Hollywood reporter people agreed with the continuation of the IP Film Companion (Films) as it somehow skips that conflict... 1:16

Why

[@AdiosAmigo-007]

Anupama without doubt is the sweetest person in Bollywood....the lady has class and a good heart ❤️❤❤

[@SRDhain]

I've always been a fan of Anupama's reviews & film companion & do remember her pre film companion. It was either rajiv or anupama's reviews that I took seriously as a barometer, especially pre social media becoming all encompassing. As an aside, I can remember when film companion were looking for reviewers/ writers and I thought about applying (my journalism diploma was quietly gathering dust ), until I thought being in the U.K. would be an impediment , and the other what -if scenarios wern't computing in my mind. Anyhoo, I digress. Whilst it's a pity she's leaving Film Companion, it's good that she's keeping the brand intact & that it'll continue in a newer vision. Here's to you, Anupama & your future success! 🌅

[@MS-mm1zk]

What a woman! So intelligent, eloquent, non judgmental, flexible, compassionate. Anupama is a gem ❤

[@brijeshsingh-lh6hb]

She has been too good for too long and definitely deserves the shot to shine at the global stage with Hollywood Reporter.

[@neisham7478]

I like Karisma, I thought she was just a pretty face, but her questions have depth, she has done her research and she still puts it out there in a refreshing way. She could possibly work on getting to the point quicker, but apart from that, I love how she allows Anu to talk without interrupting ❤❤…well done, ANU was just incredible, honest and sincere.

[@clarydgaf]

All the perfect things any interviewer should possess, the listening skills, the charm, the skill to speak and ask questions - simply amazing! Much success

[@iamPrinceK]

Anupama ma'am understood many viewers to appreciate CINEMA.🎥 Not only actors roundtable but directors, writers & technicians roundtable.✨ The front row interviews, FC Retake, FC Flashback, video essay, analysis and more many things.🫡 The Late Take with Anmol bhai 🤟 I'm happy for Anupama ma'am But no more new interviews 🥲

[@Last.Multiverse]

I didnot know much abt her,, but after reading her book" king of Bollywood '",,,,I love her work❤️❤️❤️

[@faryus88]

Thanks for doing this. Looking forward to whatever Anupama ma'am does next ❤

[@trulyyoursish]

Anupama said it. She was a soft critic because of being who she is. - Vidhu vinod’s wife. She knew the process of film making and couldn't be a harsh critic.

[@sheejaeldo9311]

Will miss her sweet laugh and smile. Will miss your show Anupama. All the best on your new venture.

[@chintalapatipavan]

I loved the conversation from both Anupama Chopra Ji and Karishma Ji because both these legends redefined what is the actual real and inspiring journalism means. Their way of understanding and conveying things to audience is super. The matter of depth and interest they put into researching and presentating with such honest opinions and varied knowledge of their respective domains are impeccable. Thank you so much for giving us so much love from film companion and giving us cinephiles with such beautiful and inspiring conversations to aspire for. Kudos to your effort ,sincerity and hardwork,all the heart you put is reflecting with your views on it. One mind twisting doubt is why they are shutting film companion because only Anupama Chopra Ji is leaving the channel but rest of the crew and team will always be there? Then why to shut down the entire Film Companion because thats the only things we have left.

[@siddharthmagazine]

Congratulations & Well done Anupamaji with the run of Film Companion. All the best for your next venture 😊

[@geethashetty7690]

What a LOSS to not have film companion,most of all Anupama Chopra 😢..her interviews,reviews were so insightful,deep unlike the superficial questions so often asked by many…used to always look forward to her interviews…there’s only Jammy pants aka Anmol Jamaal now..wish we have many more like her..lots of good wishes to Anupama❤❤

Anupama Chopra is good fun..nice interview. But the set is such an eyesore! The light on Anupama is completely unflatterring. The ugly blue satin curtain, that Anupama's dress is matching, is a bad idea because it doesn't compliment the guests at all....and fake green plants...seriously?! Please go for classy instead of clashing decor....presentation is everything in an AV medium!

[@amritananda6804]

[@swatimaydeo]

Anupama Chopra is a cinematic luminary! Her insightful reviews, infectious passion, and unparalleled grace made Film Companion a must-watch. Her command of the English language, coupled with her honesty and decency, made her an exceptional interviewer and critic. We'll deeply miss Film Companion's intelligent analysis of Bollywood. This loss is a significant one, but Anupama Chopra's legacy as a brilliant film journalist will continue to inspire. Anupama Chopra is yet to announce her next venture post Film Companion. While her departure from Film Companion is indeed a significant loss for cinema enthusiasts, her immense talent and passion for film are undeniable. There's no doubt that we'll see her grace on screens again in some capacity. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later! #AnupamaChopra #FilmCompanion #WeMissYou

[@Namburi-n6y]

Film Companion acted like PR for Close circles especially Dharma productions. Sandeep Reddy Vanga destroyed Rajeev Masand before now Film Companion. They lost credibility. Period. She is good at interviews. Not reviews.😂

37:08 insecure is a strong word Anupama. Making films using cameos is also a way of film making which many movie makers across the world have used. At the end of the day movie was great. General audience just want one word review for the whole movie Great/Good/Bad/Average, to escape and enjoy their life after their busy hectic works, where as you took up review as a job so you people just nitpick on everything. The movie was great.

[@tjmaxx4739]

No one sets out to make a bad films, what will work with public to love and make a big hit is a gamble ! Giving negative review is based on a film what did not work, does not means every one who work in film should leave the film industry! Every one should learn from mistakes and move on , even public !

@sow9619 Yes you are the kind of people for whom the "The Fabulous lives of Bollywood Lives" is a great show and the Bandra, West Delhi movies with lots of lusty bollywood songs look good. But not a TELUGU movie which made India proud at an International stage🙂🙂

[@sow9619]

⁠@@youtubevicks6330 Your comment about Bandra seems a bit off-track for me as a South Indian-didn't quite resonate 😂. Anyway, I believe Baahubali deserved the acclaim it received, but RRR succeeded largely because of Rajamouli's strong brand presence.

[@anvithanag7338]

Anupama chopra s a Very well spoken well mannered host with great vocabulary. But She disappears whenever needed t review her favorite’s movies . And lately she was too soft on nepo kids . But won’t even mention outsider (actress especially ) names while reviewing .

Listening to Anupama js always lovely ❤. But I have to say Karishma has evolved a real lot as an interviewer. I remember watching an interview on this channel few months back which made me not follow this channel anymore. But now, with Anupama bringing me back to this channel, I am indeed going to stay here and follow purely because of Karishma, the interviewer❤

@sibtainansari2525 He had to ask for work because of a financial crisis. That doesn't change his stature in any way. He has been again ruling since 2000 till date.. SRK is second to Amitabh.

But, she saying she clapped for RRR scene where deer and lion and cheeta WITHOUT attacking each other jumped together and there she couldnt see a soft spot in story telling or creative over visualization against nature. I have known her since childhood but, she is too insecure to talk about SRK and yet she never names or mentions Prabhas she is reluctant, she is up for "Daring actors" but those who are taking leap of faith in every film she has reviews all dumped on them. So, success is what matter no matter things are shit
