I feel so guilty for not watching Bhavesh Joshi superhero in theatre. We as audience are equally responsible why good films like these flop at the box office.

[@tubing40s]

One director I have admired silently. And Jubilee was the icing on the cake. Effortless work, a result of passion for cinema

[@shubhamluhadia]

For the first time, the audience questions were so nuanced - loved the questions as well as Vikram's answers! 😄

[@film_nirvana]

One of the finest interviews. Motwane is one director who has the potential of giving several masterpieces which hindi cinema needs.

[@unapologeticinherwaysdb3692]

Just can't stop watching interviews by Ms Anupama. She has this ease and magic in exploring her guests and bringing out the best answers from her guest even the tough ones 💗

[@SKD1998]

[@quirk8069]

Great interview! Sharp questions and sharp answers. His filmography is so varied and spectacular

ALSO - the guy at 41:25 got out of breath quickly. If anyone can get ahold of him, please let him know he may have heart problems and should see a cardiologist to get checked out to be on the safe side.

[@mamatha987656]

He might have just been nervous.. lot of people are not comfortable talking infront of people

HOW TO GET PRODUCER FOR MY DEBUT FILM????

[@avlokk]

Below job

[@JJJJ00J]

if it can be done in low budget try to self fund it or try public funding

[@quirk8069]

Just a little sad to see the indie space completely invaded by Dharma. Karan, Alia, ananya hijacking the best scripts for their interests. They are everywhere. How can we see more exciting new deserving talents?

[@mahirgaikwad4193]

Watched another interview where a female Director told that female actresses are not ready for taking pressure and burden of women centric movies,so they actually get offered but they refused, ALIA on the other hand experimenting n choosing the scripts which r challenging n female solo led so she nobody's snatching anyone's opportunity

[@mahirgaikwad4193]

Not to mention how she aced every role n get acclaim n appreciation when others even outsiders were busy doing commercial movie's just for easy fame n no burden of a solo movie

[@ayishasalam2244]

Alia is also giving box office successes. Why are you not talking about deepika, she does many films under yrf.

[@lokeshsingh1448]

Indeed, a masterclass. Thank you @filmcompanion

[@parvezalam9050]

Whats his email exactly?

[@haroldjoseph8296]
