An Adda On Our Addas | FC Popcorn | Film Companion 

Am so glad you guys got vikrant massey . He actually deserved to be in every roundtable for actors that happened this year. He was outstanding. Thank you

No one can replace the FC round tables. You guys are the OG!

I think this is one of the only times I’ve heard Anu say the f word, but what she said came straight from the heart! So much love for her and the whole team!!🫶🏼

In all honesty, film companion round tables are the only ones I look back and tally the movies I loved through the year and movies I will catch-up on after watching the round table. The round table helps to get to know people like vetrimaran, Karthik or parvathy’s pov about social responsibility to people like me who usually only watch Hindi movies. And opens up a new realm of cinema. Keep doing it you guys! ❤

This was so much fun. I had no clue these would so tough to put together. Great job you guys! And yes FC had the best round tables this year in my opinion. Also we don’t need SRK in a round table, we just need the SRK-Anupama interview magic to continue. Manifest karo guys!

btw, a WRITERS ROUNDTABLE MUST be HIGH on the list FC Family! Without the WRITERS the other roundtables are insignificant on a deeper level I mean! Thanks Suchin for asking the right question towards the end. Pls include the incredible WRITERS next time.

This year's Director's Roundtable was the best among all the Indian roundtables I've seen on RU-vid. ❤ And thank you for acknowledging The Hollywood Reporter for the OG format.

Anu saying the F word is my moment of the adda of Addas ! Omg !! Rohini I loved the musicians Adda !!

I have always liked FC's roundtables. They are insightful and a hub of infotainment in their own way. But in these couple of years, seeing all the other roundtables, I must say I now love the FC's roundtables more!!!

Your round tables are gold standard. The fact that each of these episodes are an hour long. I don't want to waste my time on any other round-tables. Yours is pretty cool

Can I just be brutally honest here? I don't watch other round tables except FC ones 'cause in my head I am cent percent sure that the conversations will be much more than worthy❤

As a student of acting, I absolutely love the FC roundtables and interviews. The questions are so nuanced, and so much about the craft itself and not all the surrounding noise. You guys are a social service in a way

Your roundtables, your reviews, your addas, your interviews, and everything that you do is a wonderful lesson on cinema and articulation, and so much more. I am so grateful that a channel like FC exists. Thank you for these free lessons (please don't start charging 😉).

I literally come to youtube only to watch content from Film Companion. Please continue curating these beautiful conversations because the questions you ask aren't ever irrelevant, they're always interesting and fresh. I thoroughly enjoy watching Anupama ma'am speak, i could watch her endlessly.

Anu you rock! Shoutout to Suchin, Sneha and Rohini as well, nothing in India can ever come close to what you guys do! But I still so badly wish you managed to bring Ash Rai Bachchan to the actor's roundtable, Jyotika barely deserved to be there and again I understand just like Shah Rukh even Ash can be excused 😂, but I still wish you got her on the roundtable

Oh please there is no round table like FC. Rajeev’s in his day was awesome but I think today FC is the best, Rajeev comes a close second only coz it’s Netflix curated. This was such an outstanding adda, Anupama and Sneha great as always but so so happy for Suchin and Rohini who are turning out to be so amazing! Keep up the good work guys 😊

Sneha is the real boss, she is the brain and muscle behind it ❤️

Love to hear what Anupama said about Karan!

This felt like watching a therapy session for yourselves :) ps: we love everything you put out. Their loss. SRK should be lucky to be on your list of achievers imo

This is such a beautiful reminder of all the work that goes behind some of the most lauded, awaited, and watched content that rounds up the more interesting parts of Indian films and entertainment.

Loved this episode, so much respect for the struggles you guys do before the shoots n interviews! ❤❤

This was so refreshing to watch---- the behind the scenes of rountables. Thank you FC😊

I think the FC Roundtables were the BEST! Kudos to being UNBIASED and not giving in to the PR PRESSURES. Pls make Rohini a part of the permanent FC Family! Great teamwork!!

Anupama's roundtable is a must watch for me every year. Music roundtable by Rohini was very good thoroughly enjoyed. Hope it continues. Also expecting roundtables of writers. Lyricist and cinematographer. Sneha is too good.

Please, I live for Anupama Chopra reviews/interviews and the FC Roundtables are IT since Rajeev Masand stopped (not really because he does it but constricted to only Netflix now). This is also such a fun roundtable I love it!

It’s the highlight of my December , every year, year after year. Grateful for all the hardwork and keeping the flag of integrity and the love of art ❤you guys are artists / seekers too :) keep striving ❤️❤️❤️

your roundtables are amazing. Don't think about stopping it :)

I have been following Film Companion since the beginning. Please continue doing the roundtables. FC Roundtables are something i look forward and many a times watch on repeat.

A roundtable about roundtables! I really enjoyed watching this. I appreciated the honesty and the frank candour regarding the challenges of organising a roundtable discussion. And no I don't have a wishlist, you guys do an amazing job as it is, I'm happy to lap up whatever you are able to manifest.

I’d love a writer’s roundtable..please make it happen!!

I only watch Anu and Rajiv roundtable. NEVER STOP GUYSSSSS

I really hope you all see this message because truly this was the most wholesome, fun, informative and best year-ending round-up table-adda thing ever ❤♥️❤ Suchin, Rohini, Sneha, Anupama 😊

I was absolutely disappointed that Katrina Kaif never was on the roundtable. She deserved it for her performances in zero and bharat. I would like to see Katrina on the round Table this year. She absolutely deserves it for her performance in merry Christmas.

Loved the Music Adda - an art form that’s so essential to Indian cinema and storytelling! Hopefully it will encourage more original music composition and talent!

I have tried watching the round tables from many other channels and I couldn't go past first 5-15 min except yours. So FC please continue yours, the only one I look forward to towards year end.

Been watching FC since the start- and watch almost every video! Keep doing what you do- it’s terrific and don’t give it up! It was great to see a bit of the behind the scenes at FC- what shines through it all is a genuine love and passion for cinema and a wonderful work culture in which there is mutual respect but also room for each one to grow. Really admire that Anupama has empowered others in the team- must be great to work in such a environment - and is sign of true leadership!

I absolutely love fc especially Anupama, been watching almost all of their content since 2015. My only complaint is you’ll exclusively doing pre release interviews. We would like more varied content. More post release discussions, more deep dives, discussions etc

This was my favourite episode ever! And Sneha, because you asked for it - here’s what I feel about the Roundtables - I’ve watched FC roundtables since the start. No comparison but I like them more than any others - they feel warmer, genuine and less uptight. About this year. Apart from the top notch production and location, just the enthusiasm and sets of questions felt nice. I can’t tell you how much it means to watch an FC round table - it feels like a warm hug at the end of the tiring day. I’m making notes on what should be seen and I leave with my heart full. You all should know that it matters more to people than you think it does. For some of us, we can never have direct access to those people or opportunities or ideas and just to see them in one frame - can make someone’s year. So, a big THANK YOU. And, will be back next year for all that you curate. Only love and virtual hugs ❤

Much love from Nepal. I have been huge fan of Anu since front row and continue to be. Round table this year from FC was great. Every round table was so much to learn and pleasant to listen and watch. Rohini wish to see you more. Best wishes for 2024 FC

just here to cheer Sneha. didn't know you are the mastermind behind it. now i know. and became huge fan. you are awesome.

To be very honest I love your round tabels and they do stand out and this year's stood out even more ..I had no idea about some of the movies like three of us and watched it after and absolutely loved it ...and the way Anupama conducts it in way where she is praising but not overly and starting the conversation is actually very good ! And love that musician roundtable is back... Cheers to all for the hardwrork if u ever read this😊

I am not a film student or someone aspiring to be in the film business. I'm an ordinary 9-5 girlie and still watch every interview and roundtable film companion puts out. Just brings me a lot of joy learning how my favorite art form is curated and listening to the people who make it. I'm sure aspiring students have a lot to gain from these, but just wanna say thanks as a film lover for putting these together. Film journalism is really under-appreciated for what it takes.

As long as good and deserving people in the industry is having a candid conversation no matter the quantity is it will be always consumed and appreciated. Please keep bringing this painful to put yet most joyous to the audience 😍😍

I just want to time stamp all my faviourite moments in this interview so that I can come back and rewatch them again and again. But the problem is there are too many amazing moments. Great work👍 Kudos to the team for pulling out a banger🎉🎉🎉 Also 2019 actors roundtable and 2022 filmmakers roundtable with Kamal Hasan are my favourite.

Anu ma’am giving that pep talk to Rohini is 🤌 Sheer gold! The boss we all deserve

I think Film companion had some of the best reviewers/interviewers and most importantly, listeners, which is a rare quality to find. All of you are doing great work. Anupama is one of the most affable critics I have ever seen. Please don’t ever stop what you are doing. Whatever you do is so rewarding to watch!

"co - elevation " is the best output we get from your round tables. healthy and hearty vibes!! Keep it coming guysssss!

also i agree that directors roundtable this year was just extraordinary. Thank you, really.

I cherished writers roundtable so much in my university days I downloaded it and I still watch it diligently when flying. Writer's roundtable gave us an idea on how discussion's can be beautifully textured and layered. Will be relishing writer's roundtable whenever you guys do it Big thank you for that.❤

ANU SWORE!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Poor thing is soo frustrated! Pls don't give up anu! We love watching, so keep at it!

Yes your round table interviews are something that we look forward to !!

Just loved the roundtables as well as this episode!!!! Thank you FC❤

FC is my travel companion ... a true... each one of you are fab... even beyond my words.... I travel a lot across the country especially North East and Middle East... so you guys are my jet lag recovery potion... And what depth of questions and conversations... Muaah for that... I wait for the round tables every year... keep doing it ... Plus for this special conversation was also the Christmas gift... would love to meet you guys in future... if that is ever be possible ... All the best... More power to you guys! And for sure Rajeev as well... he keeps doing it what he is also the best of ... So kudos to you all for doing this!

please keep doing roundtables❤they are credible and you guys really sift out the talent that stood out regardless of age, gender, region etc. also my moment of the year has been watching these artists appreciate each other.

I’ll watch anything Sneha produces 😊or hosts! Kudos to FC to keep us cinephiles engaged!

I remember Manoj sir said that he want to spend some time with Vijay sethupathi. Probably starting point for Farzi x FamilyMan. Amazing. Only love to FC.❤

I love all the Roundtables of yours.. My favourite roundtable was of last years when you got the bestest from South India and to listen to Kamal Sirs experience and wisdom was a treat in itself. All your roundtables stand out.

Love you guys! Truly the Avengers of film journalism. Have been following and loving you all since 2014. FC is the gold standard. All the effort is being seen, loved and appreciated. SIMPLY the best.

I know the format is being done on many other channels but they don’t come close to FC! I look forward to the FC round tables the most, and like you said it really boils down to the ‘intent’.

We will definitely watch both writer's and cinematographers' round table.. so please consider that.. all the best for all the hardwork for 2024.. The fact that FC cannot be bought makes it special and personal for cinema lovers like me! 😊

The guy asked very good questions. Watching it for the 2nd time😊

FC makes the best roundtables hands down. From curation to content to execution, it’s perfection.

i felt the same way, as there are so many round tables and its become a part of a checklist. I watched Rajiv Masand's roundtables and then as soon as FC started doing them I was watching them too. And quite quickly my liking for the latter increased. Irrespective of who does what, I love indian cinema and everything that it comprises of, therefore a new video release by FC will always get me excited. I have learnt so much and about so many through this channel, at this point I open YT only for FC or juiblee middle ground videos. Thank you for doing what you guys do!

Thank you thank you for making atmosphere that made Tillotama-Bobby moment possible. Sweetest exhange of compliments ever.

everybody is doing roundtables this year but i look up to you guys and Rajeev Masand.

I think what we desperately need is a Worst of the Year roundtable. Call the makers of Adipurush, Cirkus, Tejas all the bombs big and small and talk about why and where did they go wrong. I know it's impossible but definitely fun to think about.

Ok your roundtables do stand out....and majorly because of the questions which are not just general ones....And anupama stands out compared to any and every channel out there who is doing roundtables.. so don't stop please!!!

Thank you for sharing the process and challenges of putting together a round table. Please continue doing them as I personally love watching them. I would love to watch a Writers, Editors and Cinematographers roundtable as someone who loves learning more about the process of film making. I’m sure a lot of film students will benefit from such roundtables too. Thank you again for all you do including the interesting Front Row conversations.

thank you for doing a roundtable on music this year. looking forward to more such additions in the coming years. kudos!

Loved all the roundtables you all did this year! ❤

Oh my god Anu, how aware you are! Watching you getting curious about films and stories and people making them since... I dunno man, from years before film companion era. Used to read your reviews in that blogpost like site, Tumblr I think. Huge admirer here ma'am! Admiration and love only! About people not interested to conversations and looking down to roundtables are just pure ignorant ones. It's their loss. You people, so passionate about the craft of filmmaking and stories, committing entirely to what you are doing is so beautiful. If anyone can't see this and is driven by puny ego and looking down to people who are genuinely curious about the process that makes them who they are, it's entirely their loss. So team film companion, please never feel bad for things you are doing. You guys are fighting to establish a culture of civic conversation and so many things. You are on the right side of history people! Actually you are the ones making one! So proud of all of you. Keep at it guys, we are there for you, always. And Rohini oh my god how passionate you are! Can't even express how amazing you are on that musicians roundtable! When people get to talk about the thing they are genuinely passionate about are is so freaking amazing to watch and listen to. That adda was one of the best experiences from this year. Thank you Rohini. Didn't know Sneha was behind all them addas, doing hard works to pull the whole damn thing together. So proud of you Sneha! Those tea spilling series are so amazing, please never end that. Lots and lots and lots of love to the entire film companion team. Keep doing what you guys are doing. Get more curious, stay passionate people. You all are freaking lovely ❤️

All I can say is I love u guys. Wish I could be part of the shoot when it’s done

Such a great talk! Loved hearing about what goes into making such wonderful round tables

I just want to say that FC roundtables are my favourite thing to watch in the whole world. I agree with Suchin, it's their loss.

I've been following Film Companion since the very beginning! Your the growth and variety of content has been so satisfying to witness

This conversation was so wholesome!

This was as fun to watch as the roundtables. Keep up the good work, guys.We learn, we laugh, we enjoy and very much look forward to the roundtables every year!!

I always enjoy film companion and Rajeev masand round table. Just loved this behind the scene of round table adda. Would not have realized what happens behind the scene

You guys are quality, you guys are grace and you know it!!

All RTs are totally worth it...the fact that we are watching Roundtable about the roundtable can show our support to you and your efforts.🎉🎉❤❤

I loved the Bobby/Tilotama moment too! I've been a huge FC fan since forever. Your content is always 🔥🔥🔥 No matter if its an interview or an adda or a front row etc, I love watching y'all! Thank you to the whole FC team for so much excellent content!!! P.s. my personal favorite was Kareena. She's been a joy to watch!

This was actually my fav round table😃! FC Roundtable are class apart , Imitation is a form of flattery, everyone else trying to copy the format but still can’t match up to the standards! Great job guys!

Such an insightful and educational episode!! Can't wait to hear more about the logistics behind the scene.

Anupama Mam's interview and round tables are the one I always watch She is one of the most respectful critic currently. Even if she doesn't like a movie the way she puts it across is something to admire and I personally learn also.. more Power to team FC

I was planning to.troll this..a round table for a round table..geezzzz.... but i would say this was truly truly truly very interesting..best round table so far. Well done everyone.

Thank you for doing what you are doing.. the cinephile/journalist/media person in me is always waiting for the next episode

I really want a writers', lyricists' roundtable. I remember FC did this once in one of the past years. Also have been following this channel since 2016 now. Really like your content. Appreciate the honesty with which you talk about cinema and talents in cinema .. it's just so stimulating and educational in a way!

Loved FC roundtables... It is true that we discover a lot of good stuff through these like the movies mentioned in Directors' Adda. Would loooove to watch the crew round tables - Spot boys, editors, ADs, cinematographers, light people. Not just roundtables but their interviews in general.

Okk so im a huge fan of spill the tea for a long time,but now after this pod my respect toward sneha menon . Big ups 🙌❤

I have seen anupama chopra's round table with all directors, who have done some great work this year.... And, being frank I only knew few people like karan, konkana and 2 to 3 more, and i didn't knew anyone else, also because I don't see South cinema but that is what I loved, the diversity of the roundtable, everyone who is deserving and meant to be there on the table were present, also I watched actors roundtable, and I loved that episode too... Really amazing and fabulous... And apart from anupama, I loved rajeev masand 's Netflix roundtable, that was also superbly curated and presented with some amazing talent, totally in awe of both anupama and rajeev... Keep making such episodes and shows it is genuinely good and educating about an industry, no fakeness and drama, simple and real conversations about how someone made their movie, show, their approach, their preference of actors and all.... Also, I want to shout out one thing as anupama said that it should not be seen as tantrum throwing drama for anyone because, if someone is called, that means their work have been validated and applauded.. And also she have mentioned 2019's roundtable that was like too fabulous and astonishing.. Need more roundtables like that.. What is heartbreaking is that when anupama said that now it is not possible to have such big actors together on one table, that is disheartening for someone like me who love movies. Hope for a change for better... Genuine talent is called and people who are really not too big stars and all that means actors are getting praised.. Thank you roundtables, keep making them

Loved the effort this year. Highlight was mona singh, Sachin jigar, karan, vetrimaran and jeo baby

we want more of theseeee!

Fc! you really do move the needle. Hope you continue to move forward with credibility and only and only let a genuine love of cinema guide you. Thank you for the round tables, they truly are iconic

Roundtable Is Excellent Show. It's a must watch in the end of Every Year on different channels. Look at the view's it mostly cross 1million+ views. 🎞️📽️ 👍

Loved all the round tables. Anupama Maam, pls interview Shah Rukh anywhere, be it a round table, or square table, or over the table in his home, or your home or my home.

A Spotpersons' Roundtable would be innovative and we get to see/appreciate some of the groundworkers ❤ FC, go for it!!

Thank you FC for doing more than just pandering! I totally enjoyed this conversation, gives insight into the actual pain of curating such consistently good content! More power to you in 2024 ♥️

Great session. Raw n saying it as it is. If only media n entertainment journalism was like this every time.. thank u for keeping it real. Now i almost wonder why madhuri wasn’t in any .. after she did something like Maia ma. We have seen 90’s actresses doing some great work.. but haven’t seen any of that where a madhuri juhi raveena Kajol have done some great work .. hopefully MD continues to do great work n we get to see her someday at the roundtable . Keep up the good work guys

Suprised to hear A listers step away from roundtables because as an audience I feel like they won some award when they are invited to these .. its a great form of recognition

Fab job guys take a break now n enjoy... and wonder how AP wud fly from 🇨🇦
