Selvamani Selvaraj Interview With Baradwaj Rangan | Lights Camera Analysis |

[@IndianCinematicUniverses-531]

The smile from muthulakshmi from end of ep1 gave me chills. A must watch series.

[@CuriousMaker609]

It was terrifying.

[@raghuv8403]

It was made to look that way

[@sathyananandhan]

So true

[@victordaas]

She was damn scary actually

[@asutoshnayak9068]

I read this comment and watch it its absolutely chills 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@karmacomes_back]

Saw the documentary 4 times and I was in awe each time. Excellent watch in recent times and like BR suggests, I wish they had covered more of Veerappan’s childhood and more on his family background.

[@matangimawley]

One of the incidents that impacted me most from the series was Srinivas. I think from the questions and answers - it was the same for everyone. I fell in love with this documentary as soon as I watched it. I spent the next couple of days recommending to people and discussing it.. This interview was absolutely brilliant.. So insightful! I loved the firefly quote.. Every single thing in the documentary was measured.. Deliberate.. Am so glad BR asked about the lighting used for police vs people.. That kind of stood out for me when I watched it.. ❤ kudos to the team.. And kudos to BR and Selvamani Selvaraj for this amazing interview..

[@anish6665]

35:16 I was reminded of GVM's character from Viduthalai

[@subhachandran-subhash5053]

This interview session is equally as Good as the series #TheHuntForVeerapan. It opens up many thoughts and perspectives. Thank you both❤

[@Saialluri7854]

Being from Karnataka, episode 3 is really close to us.. such an amazingggg narration, goosebumps!!!

[@SimV239]

Also being from Karnataka, I was in school when Rajkumar was abducted, I saw the whole incident unfold before my eyes, school was shut for weeks. YET, I thought, the incident didn’t deserve an entire episode. I felt like it was pandering to a certain section of the audience which might question the screen time given to the incident. Episode 3 was a little dragged and boring.. that said, it showed how veerappan sent two states and it’s political parties into a tizzy.

[@Animal_tamil_voiceover]

Great to see BR doing interview for a documentary.. Wont hurt to see him review a few documentaries.. Seeing the number of docus netflix is releasing I hope it reaches the larger audience

[@sri3087]

"Great interview! I thoroughly enjoyed the insightful questions and the director's responses. When the director mentioned that Veerappan knows a lot about the surrounding landscape and how to survive, a vision came to my mind: What if Veerappan and Bear Grylls teamed up for a new season of 'Man vs. Wild'?"

[@salinabatterdeen1880]

This guy has a little resemblance of Nivin Pauly❤

[@Review_Show9787]

Exactly❤

[@sabharinathb1981]

Fab! Just fab!!! Most of my previous generation or mine have seen Veerappan or the law enforcement force portrayed either as a 100% villain or as a 100% hero in movies (case in point Captain Prabhakaran and Adharman), but it’s good see the the dichotomy of both sides brought to the fore with some objectivity. As always, Baddie was on point with his structured approach to the interview and more importantly his follow up questions when things weren’t as clear for the audience. Kudos!

[@Kishorreey]

Much awaited one.searched for his interview after watching Hunt for Veerappan in Netflix.. 🔥 What an excellent documentary series.. 👏🏻💥 Waiting for Kantha!✨

[@hpstudios]

too good to watch his compassion on the veerappan story

[@princesscool1925]

Back here after watching the documentary. Great work!

[@dineshmaka1244]

This interview can be called as 5th episode for "hunt for veerappan" 😅 🔥 BR

[@rameshprashanth]

A befitting interview for a very good documentary. The interview was neat. Selvaraj amazing conversation 🙏

[@Finnola]

One of the best documentary India has produced, kudos to director and his team. It was exciting and moving. I remember only few details like the picture of veerappan and other members, dr.rajkumar's kidnapping. I was in elementary school but now seeing all the officers, journalists and everyone who made sacrifices was informative as to the time, energy and resources spent for one man. Excellent documentary.

[@akumars795]

First time a guest uses much better words than BR 😂😂

[@karthikmgr1474]

I am really glad to know you ( Selvamani Selvaraj ) and BIG thanks to you for introducing me THE Veerappan.

[@AravindRants]

One of the Best Docu-series I watched 👌👌👌👏good Wrk Selvamani looking for your future works

[@Maani1891]

Great interview and analysis, what lingered on for me is the uncanny resemblance of selvamani to Niven pauly

[@akashdeep6146]

Exactly my thoughts😂 Couldn’t brush it aside no matter how hard I tried..

[@coffeefirst]

52:35 Did Baddy just answer the most coveted question of “neenga nallavara kettavara”

[@vigneshkannan1094]

Good interview but Should have asked the questions about similiarities between this documentary and viduthalai movie

[@rameshk1273]

Excellent work from Selvamani selvaraj and he should've shed more lights on the forest area because from our viewers standpoint we should how really like to know how the dense forest of veerappan would be like, and moreover its been a main character of this documentary which protected him for decades....

[@MCGokul]

Muthulakshmi smile.. goose bums man! Must watch

[@karthikgMUSICisLIFEisMUSIC]

A Must watch Documentary about the Mercurial Human! THIS Interview thoroughly enjoyable as well.

[@DillonPink]

Brilliant documentary. Loved it and love this interview.

[@sasidharravilla]

I left like the interview itself is like a one of the episodes of the documentary

[@mrragava]

Hey Reviewer, Did you thought about the coincidence/adaptation of Veerapan and Veera in Mani's RaaVaNan ? Why no single word about Vaachathi and Vetri's attempt w.r.r. to this work ?

[@sowmiyas8340]

I definitely could recall the scenes from ravan

[@ungammoi]

Excellent series! One of the best in recent time. I dont think Ive been this hooked to a documentary since the one about OJ.Simpson. Hats off to the team! Also, for me - the worst part of it all, is that they cut his trademark moustache off before showing the body, for me that was the "maximum" revenge the police could do, for one man that - to put it in great english = "viralla vittu aatifying". "namakku veeran, avangalukku appan"

[@gonlyhlpz]

He is a criminal to begin with, there are no 2 ways about stop patronising him

[@ungammoi]

@@gonlyhlpz - so he is a criminal, because he doesnt have a badge like STF? So Bidari who tortured the people is not criminal? Because he has a badge?

[@gonlyhlpz]

@@ungammoi Bidari Didn't torture people on his own right from Day one, you need to analyse the sequence of events here, it was veerappan who is the sole reason for all the attrocities, he poached elephants and smuggled sandalwood for his own benefit, and burnt alive the good samaritan forest officer , STF were pushed to the corner and they had no choice except to see people who help this criminal with suspicion and they had to take extreme measures, i am not justifying what STF/Bidari did, however you need to understand their perspective first, none of this nonsense would have happened if verapan stayed within his limits, instead he instigated war on Police officers and forest officers to satisfy his own ego on 2 states , he is ego maniac and hardcore criminal.

[@shakulhameeth4545]

51:11 "Y Srinivas"? Veerappan itself told that reason in his voice...

[@RF-bs4vz]

Great interview. Much better than Ramya K one

[@Hellostellar]

When Phoolan Devi who was murderer, bandit and massacre got negotiated settled down for prison and became politician. Why they don't want to forgive veerappan? because of the dirty politics. After 1989 when he became fugitive, he never cut down any sandalwood or murder any elephant. but whoever from outside or corrupted forest office when they cut down trees or kill an wildlife. its fall on veerappan name. Should have asked the director does he believe the encounter of veerappan?.

[@madhavanjillu5863]

Best Villianism in Muthulakshmi's face like next sorna akka 😅😂😂

[@vigneshnatarajan378]

Selvamani Selvaraj .. Thanks you

[@sivainnovates]

I didnt like the Narrative he set at the end of the Series. It was Good documentary and had us exposed to lot of Photographs which were not in the Open to public. Lot of people close to Veerapan were interviewed well. But the balance between attrocities by Veerapan - STF - Politcians were not evenly balanced and narrative set at the end of the documentary towards Elite perspective rather than who made Veerapan what he was. It was a typical System vs Individual story.

[@gonlyhlpz]

Oh according to you who made verappan ? the Police ?? stop blabering without knowing the facts, verappan is a criminal to begin with, he poached thousand elephants and smuggled sandalwood for his personal benefit, he is not some robinhood, Police/stf had to make some drastic efforts to put a full stop, thats it.

[@ahambrahmasmi9776]

All have political limitations. If veerappan is criminal, then whats the ppl who bought all sandalwoods from veerapan? Politicians dont want to expose it.

[@dhinesh0103]

Viduthalai include Veerapan story🤔 also?

[@roopkumargarimella5059]

Veerappa doesn't come come from poverty. He had 7 acres of cultivated land. He borne in forward caste with political support. Muthu Lakshmi also equal responcible in Veerappa cruel activities. Why people were behind Veerappa? The bad and illigal activities attract more people immediately.

[@deepabtech]

Who helped him take the tusks and sandalwood out of the country? Whom did he sell it too? Looks like more powerful people were involved.

[@bathefilm]

There is not even a single creature showcased in any matter except humans; which is about a guy who lived his life in the wild.

[@foreveranexplorer]

Brilliant series! Would love to see more of Selvaraj’s work!! 35:41 Also I think Srinivasan is like Lord Varys from GOT ( INFJ personality)

[@nithinvarun1901]

Brilliant Brilliant Selvamani ❤Riveting Docu series 👏

[@SimV239]

Muthulakshmi was only 14 when she fell for a much older 39 year old veerappan.. who had a heroic entry into her life .. safe to say she was groomed into the role of an obedient loyal wife. Her world was Veerappan’s world .. she grew up in his world.. she didn’t know anything beyond that life, so her adoration towards veerappan is justified. As for veerappan, he was a criminal and he loved the image of an elusive Robin Hood. He loved the attention he got, a narcissistic personality, he didn’t care for the villagers, if anything, he needed them to cover for him & his crimes. He only had the villagers to depend on. The reason I say this is because, despite the torture the villagers endured in the hands of the police, veerappan never surrendered, what mattered to him was his selfish desires.

[@strongasagirl4434]

Film making was brilliant! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sarbesh2594]

Koose munisamy veerappan review and interview from that...

[@Punith2827]

I found it very controversial...many of the former cops have revealed the brutality they've exhibited....are we going to neglect it ? Despite all that, I liked the documentary very well presented...in terms of facts and screenplay...slow ah maas ah 🔥🔥🔥

[@tailedpepper]

The documentary only got to the tip of the police brutality.

[@SimV239]

It was addressed and acknowledged. It was certainly not neglected. All sides were covered in this documentary. That said, this documentary is about Veerappan, no matter how you look at it.. he is the common denominator.

[@tailedpepper]

The documentary only maintains a pretense of being impartial. The actual extent of police brutality including murders, violent sexual crimes, torture killings as a sport is barely touched upon. Hope someone can make an actual documentary focussed on the lives destroyed by the stf pigs without having to pander to any big corporation or the state's version of events.

[@boxerkrisnan]

Nah bruh, if you support anti-government guys there is no help for you.

[@ARao7297]

I felt so too. For whatever reason, they overlooked most of the atrocities, barely touching on it.

[@matangimawley]

Tbh - I felt it was touched upon.. When muthulakshmi said it herself.. They discussed the 'workshop'.. But I personally wouldn't want to listen to more than that.. It was horrible enough to listen to it this once.. And think about it this way- for more of this to be exposed- we are going to have to get people who went through it talk about it- to live through hell once more.. I don't think it's fair.. Personally- what was said was enough and audience are mature enough to understand both side view points..

[@ARao7297]

@@matangimawley People have no clue actually. For example, I highly doubt the common man is aware of or remembers the Vachathi case. The survivors are still waiting for justice. Just a name-drop doesn't suffice. These are voices that have been ignored and stifled. They deserve to and must be heard. Apart from Muthulakshmi's account and another officer briefly talking about it, the documentary seems to focus on every other thing but it. It just feels dismissive. A mainstream documentary touching on the atrocities would bring attention to the ongoing struggle of the survivors and could possibly make a difference. We're not asking for a torture-porn angle. We're just saying that it doesn't feel right.

[@Finnola]

Good point.

[@sabari_sk]

I liked the documentary 😅

[@shrii1857]

Please show these series to Ekta Kapoor and co , how not to DRAG the episodes.

[@anandganeshyt3970]

It's an agenda from Netflix to present what they want to. He's saying abt truth here

Both sound very similar.

Ram Gopal Varma's Veerappan was well made.

[@monk6567]

this document shows Only 1% of the cruel punishment of those innocent people who killed by the FUKIN STF 🤬

[@saivjay01]

I understand ur sentiment in a social set-up.. killing 1000 elephants and calling him a forest lover?? Pls step into shoes of conservation for few minutes.. ur heart will bleed

[@Hurricane-ps1id]

Killing Veerappan by RGV is 🔥🔥🔥

[@shrutikhanvilkar]

Please, please, PLEASE interview Ranveer, Karan and Alia (and ask Ranveer about Don)

[@muralidharansubburaman8863]

Propaganda as always

[@victordaas]

He is a sociopath/psychopath. He brutally killed hundreds of people. He was also kind to people. He married a kid. May be a pedophile. He liked publicity. He knew the forest in and out. He killed thousands of poor elephants. He looted entire forest! He is damn evil but he was also kind to few people.

[@180190ful]

Whatever u said might also apply to a few pastors inside Vatican Cityaccused of pedophilia. Are they criminals or gods children?
