Rahul Sadasivan Interview With Baradwaj Rangan | Bramayugam | Lights Camera Analysis

[@sunderlal07]

What we need next is BR interviewing Mammootty and a detailed discussion on his career journey and current phase.

[@altafkalam2716]

Oh God, yes. This channel would have peaked there.

[@martinsam8787]

Mamotty is scared to converse in English . He lacks confidence

[@bastinpaul7573]

​@@martinsam8787 The one who interviewed by BBC you calling scared 😅

​@@martinsam8787Remember Mohanlal talking to a reporter at the time of CCL? 😂😂😂😂 Bruh..

[@M.Aficionado]

@@martinsam8787 Hey, I've seen you venting frustration and jealousy wherever Mammootty is mentioned. Do you get paid for this or something? Btw... Mammootty might be the only actor from Malayalam who has been interviewed by BBC. That too by Karan Thapar. Kids may not know.

[@aswinvv666]

Rahul Sadasivan is clearly a rare talent. Can't wait for his next work!!

[@cirilignatious8663]

Boothakalam is really underrated... A horror movie without which grapples the viewer slowly without any loud sounds like regular horror movies

[@muhammedsinan5069]

His fluency 👍🏻💎

[@amrt7755]

He graduated from London Film Academy.

[@jjjDM]

He is an extremely good storyteller ...

[@muhammedsinan5069]

​@@jjjDMyes.. Mammookka's recent script selection is all about how the director gonna impress him by narrating story therefore, he must be a good story teller, that was the rule.

[@karishmakadlak2787]

Describing Rahul as an extraordinary and rare talent wouldn't be an overstatement. . His efforts truly mirror the meticulous dedication poured into the film, emphasizing the profound understanding he possesses for the character, the storyline, and the extensive research involved. The craft displayed is nothing short of amazing. Truly, hats off to him

[@jishnur1858]

So clear on his words and vision!

[@sunderlal07]

Rahul Sadasivan is a Legend-in-making. He is already in the league of contemporary greats like Jordan Peele.

[@shijuparker]

Don't think so, he is more like Ari Aster style in making.. hereditary x Boothakalam

[@sunderlal07]

On a thematic review, Aster, Jordan Peele are exploring the same path in their own ways. They are breaking the existing patterns, rhythms, and styles of the horror genre and bringing in nuances to the thematic exploration of the movies. They are not your old school horror stuff but have a much more complicated and multi layered narrative structure. That way all three - Ari, Jordan, Rahul - belong to the same league.

[@MrinmayChakravarty-l5q]

​@@sunderlal07what's your favorite horror film of all time

[@arjunanil2032]

I don’t know about that , but whenever i see his films all i can see are from what films he has taken references from , Bhoothakalam was something new for malayalam audiences for sure but it was like watching “the babadook through the eyes of hereditary’s dop. Bramayugam is another thematic ripoff of “the lighthouse” set in kerala with an extra character it was sort of evident in the trailer itself. But anyway he is still an echo hasn’t found his artistic voice yet , he is in the right path of finding it.

[@arjunanil2032]

The point i am saying is that it’s okay to take references but , when you watch a film the reference thing shouldn’t stand out , this is just my opinion. He is a malayali robert eggers.

[@SpecificDietPlans]

This guy is simply brilliant. Looking forward to his next work.

[@thehero5316]

One of the best director recent time 💯 What a film He made Bramayugam ❤️💎

[@sumeetacharya7152]

Thank you so much BR for doing this interview with the director Rahul Sadasivan. This interview helped me understand certain logic about some scenes in this movie. I'm sure Rahul Sadasivan is going to be a top director in coming years as he is the new face of Malayalam film industry. If possible, kindly do an interview with a legendary actor Mammootty specifically for his role in Bramayugam movie and also discuss how he has been selecting scripts in last 2-3 years and what next can we expect from him 🙂

[@Pleindevie3]

Among all the new wave Malayalam directors,this guy is an auteur level dude.

[@manoj21079]

Superb interview... hats off to his knowledge of film making and his homework....there is more depth in the film than what Rahul is talking about... mesmerising film...the best creative movie that I have ever seen.

[@sunderlal07]

What Rahul Sadasivan mentions at 42:51 completely changes the meaning of Kodumon Potti's dialogue at the interval point, "You don't have the permission to leave"! Mind = Blown.

[@thooma1979]

not only the dialogs ; its presentation , dialects and sound modulation are superb and bgm too.

[@ajithkumar8654]

Loved the interview; loved Rahul's clarity of thought & how he expresses it. No wonder he was able to make such a masterpiece that totally goes against the grain of any movie out there. Kudos to him & his team; look forward to seeing more of his work.

[@euginrobinson]

It would not be an overstatement if someone says that Rahul's movies have easily surpassed those from the West.

[@Oldvalyriaa]

Sss😂😂. Rahul > Tarantino

[@euginrobinson]

It is so fascinating for me that a legend like Satyajit ray the greatest filmmaker, is the source of inspiration for so many of today's directors. A director from the Malayalam movie industry says that Satyajit ray is my inspiration and makes such good films but here is a Bengali movie industry where these legends like Ray, ghattak born and did their work that Bengali movie industry is in gutter right now it is shameful today Bengali cinema is almost finished perhaps it is one of the oldest movie industry along with Tamil, Hindi movie industry but just look wat happened to it It's sad 😔

[@Finnola]

One difference between Malayalam film industry and other industries that depends on spectacle based movies (that are the focus) is the encouragement of filmmakers like Rahul. I notice the sensibilities and approach to cinema is also different. Also the most important thing is cinema has to evolve and new filmmakers need more chances. Cinema now has become more predictable but thanks to movies like Bramayugham, Manjummel Boys and Premalu for instance for showing the audience to accept writers not superstars.

I really loved the blocking techniques too, the intro of mammootty was a perfectly made scene blocking wise which actually explained the whole story the cook in one side mammootty walking with the camera placed behind him as if he is swallowing devan, then eventually the satan takes devan's body and the room closing down scene towards the end was brilliant as it kinda made the character suffocate (claustrophobia kinda thing) as the character has already been confined in a definite space.. and many many more, tbh this movie is just pure cinema, a masterclass.

[@sriram1729]

My God, I'm now a fulltime fan of Rahul Sadasivan and if he continues in this vein, I'll watch every creation of his. He is a really fine filmmaker and watching 'Bramayugam' cemented this - the sensibility one needs to have to direct a serious horror movie - check, the knowledge to weave a beautiful movie with horror elements from everyday situations - check, the ability to create believable characters that don't do stupid stuff just to advance the plot - check, a nice way of balancing the supernatural and the material world to keep the audience hooked - check, having a healthy mix of perfectly legit jumpscare moments and those creepy subtextual moments to create dread in the viewer - check, having a very refined sense of music and cinematography to create that feeling of dread and hopelessness that's so crucial in a horror movie - check. He is a full package that should be talked about more. Now this is a director to celebrate and watch out for who has given Indian horror worth celebrating about after Ram Gopal Verma. Being a horror film addict, I was absolutely ashamed and used to despair of Indian horror movies compared to Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and English movies, but we now have someone that can take Indian horror to a global level, and even if not that, at least we have someone who doesn't reduce horror to horror-comedy and showing ridiculous ghost faces and flying chairs and beds because of a lack of ability. I don't understand why there are so many low IQ morons celebrating the absolutely mediocre lokesh kanagarak (stupidly called loki, athennada loki? loka thana irukkanum?) when we have a person of this ability who can create such a beautiful piece of art in a genre that is really one of the hardest in filmmaking along with comedy. Thanks for this interview - we do have a budding Indian Flanagan taking shape and I can't wait for his next horror movie.

Brahmayugam as an intellectual film, shows the relationship in India between the "all powerful" brahmin who controls everything related to his place, the nair and dalit who fight each other to impress the brahmin, The brahmins with all his powers, does nt do anything to improve the quality of life of the others, since they may otherwise run away.

[@vishnuvijayan9344]

45:55 rather than the 'anklet barrier stuff', I would like to believe that as the cook is in the 'blood line', he chants mantras as a barrier from chaathan's snooping power. That's why he's reluctant to drink. Part where Potti asks thevan about the conversations with cook (shows chaathan is confused over cook) and then leads to a clash between thevan & cook shows the cunningness of chaathan to crack facts about cook. Hah...lots of interpretations !

Blown away by bramayugam's making but honestly I felt bhootakaalam had more scary moments. Nevertheless have become a fan of Rahul sadasivan !! However I still have a few lingering questions about a few things in bramayugam that I didn't quite get. 1. If the chathan has the ability to read through people, why was the cook never identified as a tantric? If it was able to kill everyone and imprison kodumon potti, it would have been able to recognize sorcerers right? 2. Why did the chathan still remain in the disguise of kodumon potti? Why didn't it get into thevan's body as soon as he entered the house and the real kodumon potti died ?

Still why talents from the southern part of India are ignored in the national level..

@galattaplus - You should consider asking any of the industry guys as to "why isn't there a formal, organized setup to produce movies?" unlike other business, where there are VCs for start ups, constuction companies for buildings etc there isnt a single way that makes it easy or approachable for new comers to make films or atleast be heard. The only way you can make it happen is through contacts and not everyone is fortunate to make connections.
