Let's Talk Movies | Dhadak, Soorma | Anupama Chopra, Rahul Desai, Sucharita Tyagi 

Thats so true with respect to the development of the relationship between the two main leads in the second half of SAIRAT as compared to DHADAK! The struggle and pure trauma that Prashant and Archie went through eventually leading up to the traumatic end! It was like a punch to the stomach! In Dhadak however, it failed to have that kind of impact despite the impressive performances!

'Dhadak attempted to remake sairat but without the casteism, ended up with a remake of Qayamat se Qayamat Tak' - wow rahul, that's a spot on review.

Sucharita is TOTALLY not getting this. Anupama is trying so hard to be majorly politically correct. But thank God for Rahul. My admiration for him has grown after this interview. He has a conviction. Love you Rahul.

the climax of sairat is one the most impactful cinematic experiences i have gone thru....n the use of silence makes you feel your heart thumping..! u can hear the baby crying though its silent.

rahul desai proud of you bro .. honest and bare thoughts.

Sairat was an experience which had an lasting effect on my mind - which is exactly why I wont be able to watch a sanitised version of the masterpeice. Period.

Karan Johar says that there is content crisis in India. Then he copy Marathi movie just to launch rich kids. Netflix comes from abroad and make a really good series like Scared Games.

Rahul is brutally honest and doesn't try to be politically correct.

I used to confuse Rahul's critique with pessimism. After reading his reviews and listening to him defend his views, I now respect him for his honesty and his ability to deeply critique a movie.

2 thumbs up for Rahul Desai for such unbiased review...

One side suchirita voice loud I need to low the volume of audio and the other side Rahul desai voice so low I need to high volume still can't listen properly !!😕

Anupama defending nepotism 16:50. In business , bcz of the networking your kids have an upper hand ..understood,even in politics. But art and science is individualistic pursuit. A doctor's son or an IAS's son have to clear all entrance exams . A Beethovan or Michangelo's child does not make them talented just by virtue of being born to them. Meryl Steep's daughter do not get movies just bcz of her mother. But sadly in India movies are just business and not art form,and nepotism is the order of the day in business and politics.

Rahul Desai is one of the few sensible people i find in film industry. We need more people like him.

1) People blame all film stars of nepotism but it's the ppl who are at fault!! How many ppl went n watch Newton or Trapped? What if Dhadak actors were some newcomers n not star kids like Isaan n Jhanvi, kitne log jaate movie support karne? Probably None!! 2) Whatever Anupama said about nepotism was the same said by Rahul Gandhi in some other event :D the same happens in politics. we blame nepotism n go n vote for Akhilesh, Rahul or Tejaswani !! If we stop watching star kids movie, this will stop But Nahi hum wohi movie dekhenge jisme Dharma production ka tag ho, wohi article padege jisme taimur ne potty kiya ho ya Suhana ne bikini pehna ho!!

Rahul Desai is damn correct in his critic , he is true and geniune critic

Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter starrer Dhadak has hit the screens finally. Watch our Review of the Movie Dhadak . Interested in our review of dhadak movie? Subscribe to our Channel.

Dhadak misses a genuine pain and grief,sairat a masterpiece where the pain was felt, actors were real. Ishan and jhanvi felt more like karan johat laboratary experience they were soo unreal in their approach...i feel soo sorry for the cinematographar who had to go with the process of framing this wood faced glamour.... Anupama please please dont stand with people who cant act...

I agree with Rahul Desai - there should be more sport documentaries than movies based on sports.

I really enjoy these sessions where 3 of u together dissect the movie and discuss in detail on all parameters. Though I've not seen Dhadak this discussion gave me full insight into the movie. To be frank Dhadak was more of QSQT instead of Sairat. Agreed Ishan n Janhvi do light up the screen but whatever little I saw I think they 've long way to go in terms of acting. But they are full of energy and enthusiasm which will take them fwd. Anupama all thru the discussion I thought u were very protective of Janhvi. I no we all loved Sridevi n we want All good for her kids but it showed ur bias a lil bit. Sucharita. Bang on. But disappointed that a film critic like u missed watching Sairat. Shouldn't good movies sort of become case studies for u guys? Rahul...I agreed with most of it points.

Suchitra should go and watch her own ' not a movie review ' of Dhadak.. she actually liked the film and now because the other two didn't like it , she went with the flow and spoke negative about the film..

Wtf.. Clicked on the video for "Soorma" and they talked about it for 2 mins after 22 loooonnnnggg minutes. #HatedIt

The guy didn't go with a flow with sucharita😂 he just say what he wanted to say😂😎

Rahul Desai’s reviews are worth to be dependent upon!!! Honest about his opinion he is! I like him the most among the critics. Can somebody tell me where I can follow his reviews? Any site or blog?

I like your reviews...but you cannot compare the struggles people go through to enter movies. We all have got to stop saying 'IT IS AS IT IS.' Let Ishaan and janhvi bag the role after standing in a queue and auditioning with 500 others. Then I will agree

Can Sucharita watch Sairat and then do a review of Sairat?

One lesson i think ishan should learn from dhadak, between interesting roles in mediocre movies and mediocre roles in interesting movies, opt for interesting movies no matter how mediocre the role is, and then play the mediocre role with a depth and full heart. See the likes of nawaz in kahaani, a bad cop is a fairly common and mediocre role, but he portrayed it masterfully. Now those are the challenges an actor should aim to take. I was glad when he signed Beyond the clouds, I thought here's a guy who is following the likes of rajkumar rao, irfan, abhay deol, or even ranbir kapoor who explore their talents as actors. But then he did dhadak which made me feel he is infact following varun dhawan. He should stick to taking risky but interesting projects (atleast for now since he is a newcomer and doesnt have anything to lose) and polish his acting chops and exploring his caliber. He shouldnt have done this film, the lead role might seem exciting seeing how good Akash thosar potrayed the same in sairat, however had ishan read the script, he would have known the sanitizing mediocrity of dhadak and should have rejected it. Hope he learns from this venture. Looking forward to more of his work.

For the 1000th time you need to qualify Pre Medical test and 6 years of subjects to be a doctor. You don't become a doctor just by being a son of one. Seriously you are part of the bubble too.

Enjoyed this discussion. Ms. Chopra you said that nepotism exists around the world. It’s present in all societies. You are right it’s a fact, and it’s even more prominent in business families, perhaps Bollywood receives much flak because of the scrutiny that comes with the media presence. However, just because nepotism/class privilege is pervasive in the world, it doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be debated, disrupted and questioned. While, Ishaan is talented(Jhanvi not -my opinion ) there are multiple talented actors that don’t have the same opportunities that these guys do. While you have the right to appreciate their talent, as do we, there is nothing wrong in pointing out their privilege, and the unfair advantage that it renders. Historically, the industry family-cinema nexus has limited quality content in Indian cinema, primarily because nepotism makes any creative field stagnate and settle for mediocrity, making the film industry seem almost feudal in nature (to outsiders at least) ; this also applies to society at large. Globally, the fight towards inclusivity in cinema has been a topical issue, I think that’s it high time that people sitting in privileged positions within the industry and the intelligentsia understand why the Indian middle class constantly points out nepotism. Film criticism needs to acknowledge that cinema is also a cultural apparatus that should not be depoliticized. My attempt is not to deride anyone just a point of view.

"It's still tough for Bollywood or mainstream cinema...maybe they can't go there...." ofcourse they won't go there. it takes spine and guts to "go there", none of which mainstream bollywood has.

I have an explanation as to why .. Dhadak ending mey why female lead survives, FUN intended.. u guys probably forgot it's a KJo movie at the end of the day.. and quoting .. Kangana Ranaut 🤓.. flag bearer of .. nepotism rocks.. (since Ishan Khattar is not exactly a 'star kid').. 😂 he had to be bumped off. poor baby also was probably not a star kid in real life. so..

Rahul gets a lot of flask but he's solid with his views. Still, I'm salty about Bhavesh Joshi Review. How can I give questions for this segment?

one more thing!!! they discussed dhadak for 22 min in a 25 min video!!! and soorma for hardly 2 minutes. this proves nepotism exists in film companion as well!!!! and not just bollywood.

The Title says Dhadak,Soorma but only the last 3 minutes are dedicated to Soorma.

Only the boy makes sense to me

17:37 honesty

I'm like Rahul in this discussion, slowly planning to kill myself after this shallow, biased discussion. Sucharita flip flops on her opinions like crazy. Apne review main Dhadak ki tareef ki thi, now she agrees with all the flaws and acts like she thought so all along. So fake.

Just felt like sending you guys some positivity. I’m in the UK and have a great love for cinema, including the films that come out of India. Your channel connects me to them and gets me thinking about filmmaking as well and not just the actors that are the face of these films. Your thoughts, opinions are insightful. I don’t see bias, I see a perspective that resonates with me in each one of you. Even at times when you aren’t entirely agreeing on the merits of a film. Just goes to show what civilised conversation can achieve. Thank you for this channel, and I cannot wait to see all 3 of you in more of these videos. It only makes my Monday better and less of a slog

Anupama I am really disappointed that you didn’t call out Dharma more for having completely neutered the original “Sairat” especially for a larger Indian audience who will not get to sink their teeth into the problem at hand.

This is the first "lets talk movies" that I've seen on this channel & now I have to binge all of them! I love your quality discussions and opinions.. and I love this trio! I think you guys play really well off of each other, and especially loved Rahul's written review on Dhadak

They are being so linient with the film. Stop the nepotism. I am a fan of FC and love their reviews but this is clearly nepotism

17:35 Rahul Desai on Janhvi and Ishaan’s performance. 😂😂😂

When rahul sir said it takes like 4 to 5 hrs. To write a review it was quite motivating for me because i also take same amount of time whenever i write a review on quora

Good actors or not, Nepotism debate cannot be trivialised. We feed on what's served to us so we don't know any better and what's out there. Thank you Rahul Desai for once again being honest in your review.

Can you please have subtitles when the questions are asked by the audience? It’s not audible.

star kids average acting is 'good acting' and average acting of actors without industry background is worst acting for you... great

Came here for Soorma

Sucharita's face when Anu and Rahul said they liked BKD though xDDD I really liked BKD, but I had the same problems with it that Sucharita did, and I just thought her reaction here was so funny. I know that's not what the video was about, i just had to mention it.

Sucharita please 🙏 nhi hopayega apse! Please get some people who really love cinema (like Rahul) for these discussions, these can be so good! Check colider for reference, they have the best discussions!

Jhanvi was so bad in the movie I don't like her at all however ishan is a very good actor

You guys seriously talked about Soorma for 2 mins?!?! What kind of film discussion is this?!?!

#Sanju is the only mainstream NON KHAN Ranbir Kapoor movie..where Acting is there😂 And which showed us importance the of relationships in life

The FCturns4 hashtag always reads like 'FO' turns 4 instead. It's confusing. :/

Honest review of the starcast of Dhadak came at 17:38 from Rahul😂😂😂

Never watched Sairat but Dhadak really disappointed me as well although Jhanvi and Ishaan acted really well and put in a lot of effort.

Guys , I liked the discussion.. I was hoping someone will discuss, music and lyrics.. Marathi lyrics are beautiful and meaningful.. other than title track, hindi songs are not that good.

Can someone kindly repeat the questions on the mic or can that person kindly speak on the mic in the first place? Some of the questions cannot be heard.

Rahul makes such logical and well constructed arguments love to see this

Why everybody is hating on sucharita

agree with u rahul on all terms except for ishan....may be that's because u have not seen "beyond the clouds "....☺☺☺

Love Rahul's honesty

03:22 mam i respect you alot and still do. But you can't judge acting based on one film. For instance, acting of varun dhawan in any film vs acting of varun dhawan in badlapur. Its the director who makes the actor work i guess.

In cricket their is no nepotism Look at legendary cricketer sunil gawaskars son nobody knows him 😰

@19:19 when Rahul says "I actually like Badri ki dulhaniya" SUCHARITA'S EXPRESSION WAS EXACTLY HOW I FELT ABOUT THIS STATEMENT. Badri was shit. So was Humpty and Dharak is no surprise

I totally agree with the "honour killing" considering there was no pretext or context in Dhadak for that. It's actually pretty well embedded in Sairat (if we are to draw comparisons). Here it cannot be justified as an honour killing, unless you're hinting at something like this in any part of the film.

please do one more of this discussion for soorma, this one seemed only for Dhadak

Sanju was really really bad. What do we have to learn from a man sleeping with 350 women? What does the scene even mean when his wife stands there with a straight face when he confesses to that? Edit: and yes the script was loose and the biopic was more of a story than the reality. Overall a total dud for me.

#Soorma is gud movie .. I love Diljit Sir 💖💖

Thank god you warned me about the spoilers. I will watch the movie and come back to this video... Merci!!!!

Love Rahul Desai's insights.

Sucharita must do an independent review of ‘Sanju’ where she talks about the ‘biographer’s role’

I am fed up with sucharita. She even stole line of "sanitizing the struggle" from other review. Plus she did not watched sairat yet... Wtf

Only Rahul Desai telling truth here about actor's performances ...calling spade a spade. ......Other two just being tooooooo nice to starkids....

Where is the sacred games discussion/review?

Again and again people have commented that please give a mike to the person reading the questions, and they never listen!!!

Who thinks Anupama is biased towards Ishaan and Jaanhvi???

Hey team FC, did anyone do a review of Sacred Games? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I dont think the background of the makers is important for making a good social issue film. The research is more important which I think bollywood film makers are not used to. Proper research about the topic, meeting affected people can give you the sense and seriousness of the topic.

Can you guys include sacred games in your discussion? Would be really nice to know your views on dat..

sucharita seems less a critic but more a Nari morcha Andolan head

Rahul kills it at 19.00 Lol !! . Netflix has Sairat if anyone needs to watch...

Rahul Desai, you have my respect brother!!... When the girls are out there trying to 'not hurt' the bigwigs of the industry, so that their channel doesn't get hurt!!!... We have Rahul, who doesn't give a fuck about who is Dharma, and who is this Boney Kapoor or Shahid Kapoor and honestly rips apart everything about this pathetic movie which it deserves!!!!

Nepotism be damned? Not very professional or sensitive towards the Dalits who can’t even enter the mall in Mumbai, especially talking about such a sensitive matter as the Dalits in Sirat. I was in the mall in Mumbai, and Dalits are not welcome. The guards there watch you over and say who could enter and who cannot. Just an example on a different level, but very relevant to all situations. The dalits does not have doctors nor engineers or to say movie star parents on their resume, to engaged with the arts or to get a mail person job in a corporation. Stop making doctors and engineers an example for nepotism, these doctors and engineering students had to go to university 5 to 10 years if you want to be a doctor...they have earn their way already with or without parents influence, most of these star kids never even went to acting school. A poor person or a Dalite who merely wants an audition for a role, is not given an opportunity most of the time…if not all the time. I am sure if Anupama had a daughter that had to go in the back street in a dingy dark room for an audition 100 times in a month...she would think and used her words better and not be so frivolous. Going for a interview in a scary room with only one man there with you is much more dangerous than going for an interview for an engineering job. It’s funny when they say …oh yes the star kids are given the opportunity but they have to prove themselves. Many of you should learn what nepotism really means. It’s not what comes after you are given that opportunity but how you got that opportunity. And for the stars who made it without any help and say the same BS is because now they have children and would fall into nepotism, so they stay quiet or try to give an explanation that does not make sense. In my company and other companies you are not allowed to hire a family member, by law. And really ...none of the 2 lead are not good actors. but that's my take :) .....sorry for saying all this, it's said in good spirit. :)

Also, Anupama shouldnt comment on nepotism cause her kid got a book published at age 15 or 16 through her connections. So no. She aint no one to judge.

He's right when he says journalism can do a better job than filmmaking on this. Mainstream films are too simple. It also makes people believe that anyone can make a film.

U had a problem with the ashutosh rana's big bulging eyes!!! What abt ishaan's wannabe varun dhawan act!!! He was trying too hard to bring that innocence on his face everytime he looked at janhvi. But failed every time. It seemed too fake. Had it been alia or parineeti in place of janhvi then he would have looked really bad.the acting was ok not wonderful. Between ishaan and janhvi, ishaan was less worse. Pls don't ridicule ashutosh rana who's a seasoned actor. It was just bad direction. He hardly had any scenes. It was only janhvi and ishaan that they were trying to promote even in the film let alone outside.

Comparison between Doctors and Star kids is not valid because doctors have to sit in an all India exam and study really hard to pass

Before everything, All the scenes are copied by Sairat, Now tell me Is Bollywood running of writers, Why Dhadak was not a totally new story for the new comers, There was no challenge for the actors......

Anupama and rahul discussing they take 5-6 hours to review a movie. And sucharita is like "ohh bhaisab ye itne ghante lgate h ,me to jo mnn me ata h boldeti hu " *LOVE* *YOU* *SUCHARITA*

Pls pls give Mike to the one who's asking question. We can't just hear it !!!! Rest you guys r always awesome :-)

If DHARMA productions show superior cast or any cast in bad way or responsible for honour killing then the caste will oppose it and wouldn’t let it film release it, we are witness that what happen with PADMAVATI.

Forget about reviews, u guys could have done let’s talk movies on “ Sanju “.😒

It's funny that majority of people who are talking against Dhadak, Janhvi and Ishaan have not even watched Dhadak. If you want to compare it with Sairat or bash Janhvi and Ishaan's acting then watch the movie 1st. I have watched both Sairat and Dhadak. I liked both movies. Ishaan is good and Janhvi is not that bad. She can act and has great potential.

Please Dear FC Team, do this weekly without fail! It's been 2 weeks and I am getting withdrawal symptoms!!!!

Sandeep Singh's ex left him. He then married someone else. Get your facts straight guys!!!

Lets talk Hindi movies in English

What is wrong with u guys? Actually that has happened with sandeep in real life. His grlfrnd left him. I have watched his old interviews. He was married with the other girl in their family relationship. Okay first correct it. Don't make any comment without the right info. 😥 Yes diljit is heart taking as always. Most adorable😗😳

I don't get it. In Sairat they elope and find hard to cope with proceeding. Here, in Dhadak, it was little easy. Anyway their family put an end to their smooth or rough sail. What's the point !!!!

i am also going to shoot and discuss about a film with my chacha ,chachi over my dining table and post a video in you tube

Fun fun fun #Fc rocks

Its a hindi movie. why discuss in english ?
