wow this was awesome loved it

[@fahmida_naheen]

Thank God a second part! Loved this! Couldn't take my eyes off these two. Great job FC. Best pairing so far. 👏

[@angelawaikar2213]

Ohhh thanks a ton we need a part 2

[@pratimaadk]

Film Companion So thankful. I can watch them talk for hours.

[@Sadidesifamily]

Shukar hai this felt like a trailer. The depths they talk and the chemistry like butter and knife loved it!

[@raashimudholkar5800]

Film companion is one of the only platforms which treat actresses like people and not Barbie dolls.

[@meenakshishukla5265]

Raashi Mudholkar utmost truth 😍

[@snehaaggarwal7256]

That might have something to do with that this channel is rin by a woman- the phenomenal Anupama Chopra! :)

[@denzylisaac7009]

whoever came up the concept of "TapeCast" should get a raise!!.....ASAP

[@basicsurfer08]

thank you hope they increase my pay ☺️

[@flowerchild3407]

@@basicsurfer08 was this your idea?? 🥰🥰

[@rrabcd]

Tapecast was Tanmay Bhatt's idea

[@ajinkyaprabhu7481]

The Smita Patil question was a cherry on the cake! Plus it was beautifully answered by Shabana maam.

[@richamitra99]

the combination of these two actresses is just amazing.. this tapecast felt very short..I can just listen to their conversation for hours..

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

[@s3rverlord]

Pls have Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

[@vandanajoshi4863]

Atharva Kulkarni yes that would be great. But please change the language to Hindi. So they can be themselves at their best. I don’t understand why actors feel compelled to speak in Hindi.

[@vandanajoshi4863]

In English not Hindi

[@aditiagrawal5321]

[@muhammedasif7895]

yeaa

[@biomolecules7483]

They are intelligent in terms of studying as well which I have seen on Google.

[@champflowahbomb7630]

Shabana is coming to the table with a rational, logical, technical in put while Vidya is beautifully intuitive and I'd even say spiritual and mystical! I mean we all know the technique gets tedious and all, but I want to hear heartfelt experiences like Vidya.

[@Edm10]

What a talk...Shabana you are a text book of acting skills..

[@joytana1]

What an absolute pleasure to listen to these strong fierce women! Thank you Film Companion for showing us that strength and fortitude of character comes from being vulnerable and accepting of one's own weaknesses. There's more of these two coming right?

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

Thank you! Watch Part 2 of this conversation here bit.ly/2DGAYOq

[@stellatocca]

Their Tape Cast needs to be longer! This is one of the most thought-provoking, insightful, fascinating, and meaningful dialogues we had in this series. Vidya and Shabana have such a natural rapport.

[@NoshinSharmily07]

Shabana Azmi is spot on about acting she gets every technical as well as emotional aspects of acting that’s why she’s such a great actress

[@MrSirAussie]

OMG! Vidya looking so beautiful, glowing and glamorous......love her movies.

[@hemantsinghrawat19]

[@dhruvsengupta6566]

Throughout her career, Shabana has demonstrated an unwavering dedication to the craft of acting. This video-chat showcases not only her remarkable talent but also serves as an inspiration to aspiring actors everywhere. The depth of emotion, the authenticity of character portrayal, and the sheer skill exhibited in this short episode truly underscore the importance of acting lessons and continuous learning in the world of entertainment. This showcase is a testament to the countless hours she has invested in honing her craft. Congratulations to Shabana for setting a shining example of what it means to embrace the journey of becoming a truly exceptional actor.💐

[@ShamanthKuskur]

Why on earth is this the last episode of Tapecast!? Please do more episodes.

[@ayaan7762]

Shamanth Kuskur where was it given that this is the last episode? ??

[@ShamanthKuskur]

Taylor A2A In the description of the video. Plz read it

[@AnshuKumar-li5yk]

Two of India's finest actresses.

[@notyourstory8169]

Dear FC,it's a cordial request that please bring much more talented minds next season & don't restraint the time.If they are organic in the conversation,let them speak more.It's a great show & I see here talented people being completely unaware of the baggage that the carry in usual interviews. I hope that they could have a much more open & beautiful conversation. Again thanks a lot for such a great show.

[@anshuljoshi133]

Both are big fans of each other. Two acting powerhouses. ❤

[@AbhishekDasfilms]

Shabana Azmi herself said she wanted to chat more! I love tapecast as it doesn't feel like they are being interviewed rather a free flowing conversation happens

[@manasajagiri7496]

Please make it longer!!!!!! It's absolutely inspiring to see these artists talk about their craft.

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

We have a part 2 coming up tomorrow! Stay tuned :)

I watched nothing registered, seemed so surreal. So have to watch again. Two of the women I admire, not just as actresses but people as well, for their integrity, intelligence, humility and sense of humour. True this one should have been longer. Thank you for bringing these two amazing beings together.

[@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi]

Still there are actors like Sonam Kapoor who gives advices and talks about acting.

[@parulakter7514]

SuBhaYU BiSwaS can not be more funny...true

[@balajim9579]

SuBhaYU BiSwaS lol

[@ms.s.rashmi8827]

she got national award.... watch Niraja ...

[@balajim9579]

Getting national award doesn't mean she is school of acting. Tht too special mention

[@ms.s.rashmi8827]

+Riri Airi m don't agree with you... she is not a versatile actress but she fits completely in roles chosen by her...she can't come up with Radhika Apte part in Padman but perfectfully played her part in the same movie... she herself confessed this... that's make her spacial.. second think she is lady of openian... she is a voicious woman with great fashion sense... she is not good in everything but best in something 😊

[@shellysakhd8798]

Why was this the shortest episode when this one had arguably most potential of being a 2 part series?! Neither of them talked about anyone else or of themselves, but just art, and it was so beautiful!! 😢

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

We have a part 2 coming up tomorrow! Stay tuned :)

[@argumentativeindian8638]

OH MY GOD, THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED IN LIFE. Too short though. :(

[@keshavbansal5148]

It's tough to handle such brilliance 😥😥, how deep these women are going, how passionately they are talking🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 they are pretty amazing

[@dipandat]

It was so enlightening listening to Shabana, I am much younger than her, got nothing to do with acting, yet felt like I can spend hours just listening to her.

[@buntysonawane5750]

Before watching it let me congratulate FC for the guests here. Tapecast has been good so far with your guest list.

[@dhyanvikatharani9856]

when Shabana Azmi laughed at 14:23 I got flashbacks from Makdi and got so scared for a second this just shows how great an actor she is

[@writersbench905]

Wohhh...that's the quality of the show. No more drama, only real true conversations. Loved it. There's so much to learn here.

[@jahangirhussain1]

Going to report this video for being only 15 min long. 😐😓

[@shiwangkumarsingh6584]

Film Companion THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheDarkhorse700]

Again most people wouldn't have seen Shabana's work in Khandhar, paar, mandi, godmother, ankur to know what a powerhouse of talent she is. People comparing Vidya or Alia or any bollywood actor with her, have no idea how good Shabana is, bollywood doesn't deserve Shabana, the best actress i've seen.

[@sidhartha8444]

Shabana Azzmi !OMG..it is beyond Kangana or Alia's level..

[@jitendrasahay3847]

And you are a presumptuous !

[@Shilpiinurface]

Even Sati or the commercial movies Apna Paraya and Swami!! A text book of acting.

[@suchitrasihag5954]

Fire as well

[@CarolJuvenil]

I needed more from those two! 💜

[@romitachowdhury7872]

Why does this have such low views? Azmi is such a wonderful teacher!

[@jayanmeppalli7585]

Wow.. Smita Patil vs Shabana Azmi.. that discussion was the highlight

[@nomadicolours]

I clicked on this because I love Vidya. Hoping she's pleasant in person. I say that because I recall producing my concert at Lincoln Center, and went to meet Artists (well known also) at a hotel in NYC and ran into Shabana. I was also working on a production to bring awareness to domestic abuse and thought to mention it to her. She was down right NASTY. Now, to be real, I am aware of what artists go through daily, but Shabana is one person I cannot see in positive light ever again. I lost all respect for this individual. It speaks volumes.

[@NikitaBiswas]

please cast them together!

[@liklrabbit]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! NO I MEAN IT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?.... THE LIKES OF SONAM KAPOOR AND FARAH KHAN GET LIKE 30MIN AND FOR THESE TWO WOMEN 15MIN?! WOW, SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVE OF FILMS. I would crowd fund an episode to see these two women speak.

i would like to start a petition to bring back this format of interview, for the older and the new actors all for how organic the answers come out when you are not in the presence of a third person (ik camera ka piche you have the technical team standing along with teh director but still on the set toh nahi hai na)

[@gauridangwal9541]

Vidya and Shabana Ji are one of the most inspiring , stunning and versatile actress I have ever seen !! I love both of them >3❤️

The next Gen of actors would be far more accomplished due to perspectives shared by thoroughbreds like these. Kudos to FC.

[@A.H.A.J]

Why is this episode so short? This was my favourite episode. I love how the way they talk no attitude or shade thrown just purely talking about the art.

[@jaspindersingh9306]

Shabana is such a great personality...

[@sangeetadasappa1947]

I remember seeing Masoom and back then in the 70's i was just a kid and hated shabana for being so mean to the kid.(she was natraully wicked in the movie) very well played out. I watched a few more of her movies in the 80's and thought she is a fantastic actor! i mean she is a blessed and genuine ,even today she would make a great actress.

[@santoshsabharwal9029]

Very very dignified to see two illuminated personalities exchanging views 🙏 thanks 🙏

[@vishalbhardwaj1308]

I need to listen more of Shabana ma'am seriously

[@fareedmalik6777]

And when I commented she was so much better than Smita in MANDI she immediately corrected me by saying ‘ but mine was bigger role, they were unequal and my role was great. Her role had less scope. So it’s unfair to her this comparison!’ Surprised? !!!

[@Akash_158]

7:06 vidya balan was like..."yeh kya kar diya maine".....!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@oyechori8060]

Best tapecast .......even the guests enjoyed the conversations..... But it was short

A feedback tapecast- please increase the duration of the program to at least half an hour. When two interesting artists begin sharing their experience, 15 mins pass in the blink of an eye.
