BR seems really happy about RJB's success, he is quirky in his remarks, giggles more spontaneously than his usual upright posture and the way he interrupts @27:40 for one liner.. a rarity #askBR.

[@rickdalton2412]

Now that he is acting with Ulaganayagan in Indian 2, it is gonna be a huge boost to his career..!!

Good that BR asked him about the Lotus Kuriyeedu. And Balaji's down to earth answer, "Lifestyle la 3 for 499 Ku kedaichadhu". This is the Fahad song where the scenes are lifted and used in LKG kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5ymk2SricyjaKs

[@padysrini9955]

On a sidenote, we have a serious problem with theatre show timings and our busy lifestyles. The theatre guys have made it where one has to catch a movie in the first week or wait for the movie to be shown on tv ( or illegal download or vcd ). Very frustrating for movie lovers who have busy lives ( family, work, kids exams etc ). I checked LKG after 2 weeks and there is one show either way late in the night or weekday inconvenient time. We either need a way for these movies to come to Pay & View process online ASAP or have theatres dedicated for extended runs ( smaller theatres - 50 seaters - who take a share of the ticket and have reduced electricity costs ).

[@k7raman]

Small theatres is really we need. Kamal hasan was used to say about that small theatres would come and flourish. small theatres will be a boon for Low budget or experimental films or independent films.

[@sriramganesan5194]

BR - good interview and great insights from RJB. Among the realm of sensible cinema, barring the commercial relevance, how do you rate this effort/movie from RJB? Is good cinema a commercial success, relevant subject/acting or more? What can other leading actors learn from this? When would they understand that relevant subjects and good acting doesn't always need to start with a big budget?

[@mayarajie]

Well.. we have a long way to go to reach that point. Fairly a slow start, but atleast we're there, on track.

FYI, when Virat made his debut, his father died on the day of match. But it didn't stop him anyway. It's about converting the negatives to positives, Not bruding on something which shouldn't have happened.
