The guy is a genius. A master of his craft🙌

[@_Heisen_Berg_Skyler]

Earlier, he was a cinematographic assistant, and then he became an assistant director. After that, he directed his first movie. This is his second movie, which means he knows cinematography and direction, so he could have much potential knowledge about technology. SO, DONE IT VERY WELL !

[@starcicket01]

This movie doesn't deserves Oscar but Oscar deserves this movie. Master class,proud Indian that we have such a genius people who knows their craft so well!

[@Goldy731]

The interviewer really seemed like he wanted to learn film making and asked technical questions. Chidambaram is so knowledgeable and skilled and yet so understated. Hope to see more extraordinary movies by him in future. Manjummel Boys is that dish you make where everything comes together and it’s just fantastic!

[@_Heisen_Berg_Skyler]

It's so heartening to see that recent Malayalam movies are receiving overwhelming appreciation and respect beyond the boundaries of language and borders. I hope to see more movies in the future garnering such recognition and love from across the nation. Chidabram and boys, you guys nailed it.

[@pepoelectra5439]

Ram well done mate! This interview was outstanding. Your genuine interest in uncovering the intricacies behind the movie really shone through, and you managed to do so without ever going overboard. The questions were very well chosen and clearly made the director excited to answer. I especially appreciated how you asked questions that hadn’t been covered in other interviews. Great job!

[@kav4191]

Dear interviewer , nice work but please also remember that South Indian cinema also has Kannada. Throughout the interview, i noticed that you only mentioned Telugu and Tamil .but not a single reference about Kannada audience/industry. Let me clarify, this movie in hotstar also has Kannada dubbed version. Please broaden ur thoughts/perspective.

[@mythicfury86]

In between Malayalam comes in, but then also Chidambaram 👌👌

@@user-wvxsk-2y I wouldn't really say that because Ram is very good at writing reviews(very well articulated )but when it comes to video formats, he sucks big time, he tries too much to copy Baddie and ends up terrible. He has to find his own voice instead of replicating Baddie mannerisms. As much as I criticize ram, I just want him to do better. But that being said, he sucks at video format big time.
