Paid Car Reviews Ka Sach | Cartalaap podcast feat  

Aise video 1-2 aur kr diye humne toh paneer choro, humare ghar daal banne jitta saaman nahi bachega. :p

Maza agaya bhaiyon, this needed to be said❤

No MotorOctane was harmed in this video 😌

24:46 my point exactly. When Harrier was launched it was declared as next best thing 2 years down the line the same channels who were praising the car left right and centre declared it garbage, they started pointing out issues with the car which they hadn’t earlier. I remember vikas bhai was the only one who said that steering can be calibrated a bit better and no one else did but ekdam se xuv 700 ke aate hi Harrier ka steering bekar hogaya and then again when tata came up with red-dark edition , Harrier ka steering acha ho gaya. Why the hypocrisy? That’s why I firmly believe that car reviews should be used for identifying what to look out for and be informed about the product but car apni budhi ka prayog karke lein. I think Mahindra has it’s PR going strong. There were obvious problems with the product that you could see during the test drive but RU-vid pe toh aisi wah wahi ho rahi thi ki baap re. For getting information about a car I only refer to V3 cars and Icn studio because I can only trust these two to provide with a genuine video highlighting the issues and praising the right things. Keep up the great work Gagan and Vikas bhai Much respect.

Honestly at the beginning the first name came to my mind was " Motoroctane " as I strongly felt they were biased about TATA & Mahindra products ( Specially after watching INNOVA hycross vs XUV 700 Video ). Eventually the name "Motoroctane" poped up in podcast making my doubts clear. This video is gonna win lots of hearts ❤

Holy S*** Gagan just mentioned the issue with the Scorpio N and very recently a guy lost his leg due to that manufacturing defect.

NO Motoroctane and Autocar is harmed in this video 😂😂😂😂

Hope the video helps clarify a lot of thing related to paid collaborations being practiced by content creators and manufacturers. Have a great Sunday! 😀

MotorOctane was not harmed in this video 😂

In motorcycles, it is the unholy alliance between PowerDrift and Royal Enfield

It is the narration by Vikas Yogi and Gagan Chaudhary, which has a larger image than any brand. You two are already big Barnds and are doing great job. We always fall back on your old videos to have a proper perspective. Keep it up.

No PowerDrift , MotorBeam , MotorOctane were harmed during this video 🤣. Context : The face of PowerDrift (Sagar Sheldekar) once himself left the firm Bcoz of paid content and as he is an unbiased reviewer he can't sell fake information about products he used . So in sake of truth he left PowerDrift first in 2015 . And afterwards Vikram and Shumi (Shubhabhrata Marmar) left PowerDrift in 2021 end Bcoz they were sick of doing paid reviews and selling fake info to the public while in case of MotorBeam , they always sell fake info if Dhanil Vira is reviewing anything in a comparison video . While Faisal never does any kind of paid review he just shows us what is the vehicle . Do note that Powerdrift has many more media houses rather than its own domain and their names are ZigWheels , CarandBike . Stay aware stay safe from these kind of channels .

Sir, Salute to both of you. Aapko dekh kar itni to tasalli milti hai ki abhi bhi kuchh log he jo honest hai. Thank you.

Yes! , I've noticed Motor Octane and other so called big medias upload videos without mentioning that it's paid promotion. Since then i un-subscribed these channels and only have few medias in my subscription list.

before this podcast it was pretty much impossible to figure out whether the video is paid or not, sometimes it feels but couldn't figure out because of lack of knowledge of this work industry. Glad that u made this video. 😁

27:26 This deserved its own meme 😂😂😂 Epic!!

Very nice of you two that you have given many insights on this industry. Appreciate your views on sanctity, winning trust of viewers and content creators being socially and morally responsible and with integrity.

I just saw your (Gagan's) tigor ev video, i am not seeing any "sponsored" banner or announcement😅 Am i missing something?

Thank you for bringing this issue up. Had watched channels like Motoroctane making an absolute mockery of car community by peddling ads in guise of reviews. Only talking positives of certain "patriotic" brands, while not talking about any negatives. At times I noticed them selling absolute lies to make the car seem better than it is. Channels like these are dangerous as many people trust them and end up putting lacs of their hard earned money in wrong choices.

I really felt a sense of appreciation for both of you guys. Matlab apni hi industry ke bare me sach bolna is something what takes courage and really appreciate the honesty.❤👍🙏

Gagan and vikas doing a podcast labour law advisor putting a like and comment. This is the best form of internet.

Motoroctane be like:- muje kyu toda😂😂😂😂

Honesty is the most prime factor for me to watch both of your videos. Hat's off to you for such videos, love it! Hope for more such.

Very insightful video. We are viewers and those of us who are discerning, definitely realise who the sold out reviewers are. It's not just their content but their mannerisms and the method of presentation that reveals their position - intent. An honest reviewer will be identifiable in his mannerism and both Gagan Chaudhary and Vikas Yogi are prime examples of that. I've seen them being irritated, even a bit frustrated at times with some aspects of a product or the company and these are indications of an honest person. A person who is always happy, sweet and charming is hiding a lot. As someone very interested in automobiles, I watch a lot of car channels, but when I want actual insight & info about a car, I turn to Gangan and ICN, like recently for the Jimmy drive reviews. You guys are doing a great job and that you are honest is a cherry on the cake. Your credibility, for me atleast, is way higher than any AutoCar or Car & Bike. Keep up the good work, there are good viewers who appreciate honesty and will always support your work (till you stay honest). All the best to both of you and hope we have a long relationship as content providers and viewers. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.

I really appreciate your emotions behind making this video. Kudos to both of you for taking an honest and bold stand on the subject.

Prime example is Motoroctane, asy cardrive even though it's not a proper channel, and many more

Kudos to both of you for such an Amazing podcast 😍

I still remember one video of Yogi ji where he reached Meghalaya in Ford ecosport to explore the nature and inbetween he was promoting the car. I liked that video very much.

Excellent. Totally with you guys, appreciate your honesty.

I don't know about other channels but i have noticed motoroctane is doing such things for very long time and you can clearly tell if you watch their videos

No Faisal Khan was harmed in this video.( Kushaq reviews)

I really have so much respect to this podcast series when true experts sit and talk with some sense. :)

Mr. Rachit Hirani is missing since upload of this video😂

End of the day its a product, you test drive it yourself and decide, all review videos can be watched for an idea and then finally go with your instint

Huge respect for both

The whole video I was thinking of only one man who I could identify as bika hua, and that is our very own totla Rachit from Motor Octane. I had only last week finally understood that he does paid promotions when he judged my Mahindra ScorpioN as a better car than Toyota Fortuner 😅. You guys put a stamp of approval on it towards the end of your video. Thanks for this video. 🙏🏼

See this is why i watch yours over any other channels. Honesty. Love from Karnataka. But nothing wrong in paid promotion. Wrong ethics is the problem.

Now listening about the Tigor EV, it feels like Arun Pawar also did a video about it, where he drove it the whole day in and around Delhi for around 100kms I believe and as much as I remember, he didn't mention it anywhere.

I felt this for Rajat from "Motoroctane" from last year even that how cleverly he mold things. I never said anything in his comment section, obviously he not gonna admit it but I unsubscribed him from that time and Ya I am with you guys only until you are honest with me( as a member of Public). Thank you Bhaiyo 🙏🏽

It takes courage to make such videos.... Appreciate both of you. Thank you

Fine fine video. These days customers don't get influenced by established RU-vidrs, they simply watch them see it as a review (presentation & features) but trust more after seeing the product in person and watching ownership reviews. A good presentation like how Gagan Bhai and Vikas Bhai can surely make customers shortlist a car. It is not about automobiles only but other products too. Some products are selling just because they are too common and it is literally impossible to turn the wave against them no matter what rival brands try or whatever issues these common cars face.

You guys must highlight everytime that no Hyundai or Kia have got more than 3 stars in crash tests in India . In India auto journos love Hyundai n Kia for a reason .

31:10 most important lines of this video.

I have seen in many sponsored videos, the quality & style of video suddenly changes. The rawness of the video or person talking a certain way suddenly changes. That makes a big difference in viewers of those sponsored videos.

The knowledge and this honesty is what makes Icn studios the best car channel on RU-vid 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Video doesn’t have fixed points of discussion but rather a scattered discussion about how journalists have to be entertainers at times when brands approach them.

Kudos to both of you.. very courageous and bold from you to openly discuss this.. hope everyone would learn from this 👍🙏🏻 and Vikas ji.. khamma gani.. big fan 😊

2:45 hope Republic TV not got hurt

Mind goes to MotorOctane's Rachit - stopped watching him from few years as at that time it was very clearly evident that he is trying to make everyone happy...never says anything negative about any car and even if he has to say negative, he dilutes it so much that the intensity of the negativity is lost. And sometimes he balances by quickly saying something positive about that car. That way he can say negative things (which is rare) and still be good in the eyes of manufacturers. He was clearly trying big time to please fans & manufacturers and was unbearable.

Paid video m shuru m he bta dena chaiye sab ko ki yeh PAID PARTNERSHIP hai Taki audience ko pta lg jae ki Sponsored hai .....

@ICN , my friend and I brought Honda Amaze 2019 with help of your content, and since few months I already stopped watching those channels, its visible who is doing paid videos, thanks fir this video @ICN

"Khamma ghani deviyo aur sajjano. My name is Vikas Yogi [and my name is Gagan] and here's everything you need to know about sponsored videos aur unhe na declare karne waalo ki beimaaniya". Tahe dil se shukriya Vikas aur Gagan bhai..this needed guts. Khoob tarakki karen.

May be that's why (by instict) I believe in ICN Studio. I saw 2-3 channel but the last must be from ICN Studio's video.

Rachit Hirani of MotorOctain is one of example of paid reviewer.

"TATA-sponsored Top Channel" has left the chat!!! :D

We have motorOctane for tata and M&M, and Ask Car Guruuuu for Maruti , that guy rides so hard for maruti more than i have ever seen

Mai pehle aapke videos like karta hoon baad me dekhta hoon ..kyuki mujhe pata hai yaha pe har baar bahut accha gyan bahut acche se diya jata hai..har baar jab aapke video dekhta hoon bahut kuch seekh ke jata hoon.....Thank you 😊

Volkswagen and Tatas are not harmed in any way via this video.

@ Gagan bhai hamesha videsh kyu rehte ho aur kaise rehte ho agr bhaari sponsored nahi krte ho ? Im following you since your Hyundai i20 ppf review days so phele aur ab ke gagan mei antar toh saaf saaf dikhta hai.

You both are doing great work, I highly appreciate this kind of transperancy.

Appreciate your honesty in talking about such things and educating viewers 👍🏻

पहले मैं motorotene देखता था पर धीरे धीरे लगने लगा वो paid video 📷 हैं। अब ICN STUDO देखता हूं।

I have personally faced strong and even vulgar replies to my comments on 'certain' car vlogger channels if I share my personal driving experience of that vehicle. It seems that there are some hot headed hires which are only there to protect the main channel owner. There are certain things which are a big miss in some cars like the recent Scorpio N but these keyboard warriors are tasked to demean the viewers in case they are not liking the video or praising the content creator. There are obvious signs in many vlogs these days which point them towards being promoted and that is OK unless you start humiliating the viewers just because they have a different opinion to the content creator's view. A good video which is an eye opener.

A good video for journalism students 😅 Ek taraf P.R. students with good strategies and planning and on the other side hardcore journalist students with good vocabulary and rich content Both need to work collectively.

Motor Octane is the first channel I started following. Now I know that they are sponsored by TATA. And it is absolutely true Brezza is better than Nexon.

Motoroctane: g***d phat gayi

Thank you guys.... Had noticed this for long... Glad you brought this up.👏👏👏

Aacha lga aise video dekh kr. Kafi detailed and informative tha. Logo ko lagta hai ki sirf media hi Godi-media hai. Truely appreciate your honesty. MotorOctane ki viewers issi wajah se kafi drop ho gye hai, kyunki paid videos banata hai.

The way you speak about a brand whether it pros or cons, I love it man.

Maja Agaya ye guts aap me hi hai bhaiya

Thanks for honesty, nowadays its rare ❤

my favourite content creators in automobile industry.

This video made me believe you more than before Love the honesty... Keep it up 👏🏻

Amit from ask carguru also appreciated great to see. Really appreciate you guys ❤❤❤

Nice Video. From a very long time since Nexon has launched I saw that Rachit is doing lot of praise of that car and even my perception about the Tata started change after watching lot of videos of Rachit & Nexon. So my question here is, you mean to say it was annual paid videos with TATA to promote their products. Because often I see that he always recommends Tata Tiago & Tiago over other brands which I feel surprising. And also take example of Altroz he praises a lot of Altroz but in reality the sale is not that great. So pls reply

Thanks to LLA for recommendation 👍🏻

very fair analysis, for long term objective a fair and ethical practice not only mobilise the quality and evolve for sure.. its not about shortcut its actually about the competitiveness and complaint any how the ones who will stay in one term is based on quality ethicality and compliant. And I 100% agree with this discussion AND ITS NOT ONLY ABOUT AUTOMOBILE it's across other industries also- to reflect impact and getting benefitted,. very well done Vikas and Gagan sir at least u pointed a very valid argument within a segregated section...

Can you guys also share views on the automobile taxation in the country? How the taxes make cars so unaffordable. Many cars go way beyond their worth.

Har jagah ad hai jaise Gagan ji ki T shirt pe..sab jagah ad hi ad hai..😂

Recently can see Lots of review videos on Volkswagen Group cars positioning 2 cars as premium SUVs just to justify high pricing and less selling no.s, istemaal kare fir vishwaas kare :-)

Please yogi bhai. Start consultancy for choosing a car under this budget.

MotorocLAME., DDass, her garbage, man and gutter, kaal gulugulu, fisalpaan, arunganwar,

Dam lagta hai bhai aisi video banane k liye Hats off🎉❤

Bahut achha add jo u tube aur jo utuber ki taraf se aata hai,very good explain

I am following Gagan since 4-5 years but when I seen Vikas with him.. I confirmed you both are genuine.. Specially Vikas is pretty much straight forward.. Thank you both of and wish good luck 🙌🏻

Loved your video... you have asked : " tell us who does paid promotion?" .. --> Powerdrift and family does paid promotion for Royal Enfield....Motoroctane does paid promotion for TATA...

Really appreciate ur try to bring transparency

Gagan & Yogi Really appreciated this content

This post cast should be renamed as “ dhotikhol “ …

Came here through LLA community post, a great video indeed! Thanks❤️

Both brothers geniune।

Rachit hirani @motoroctane is the king of such paid videos. Banda kisi car ki burai karta hi nahi. Companies ka bhakt hai ye. Thodi si sharam nahi aati.

Gagan bhai and ICN studio pls bring podcast on how automobile industry treats youtuber or reviewes because now a days brands do not give there cars to small youtubers for reviewing and also what is the future about automobile industry and automobile youtubers

Hyundai and Gagan better love story than twilight😅

Hey guys thanks for education audience,. This videos was more of educational video for audience for how to look into paid videos and how to judge if anyone is genuine youtuber or not

You are absolutely right … tbh … I watched so many contents from various but when I don’t at her few Gagan videos … I can see the genuineous .. and I always got the negative feeling for motoroctane

Vikas ji & Gagan ji thank you for your sincerity...will surely keep in mind of your words

I was thinking from quite some time now, though it is thrill of driving there are few videos which I felt are paid. Thanks for confirming you 2 are really doing great 👍🤗🤗🤗

Sir ji maine ek Celerio ZXI Petrol purchase kri hai 2024 me Punch CNG ko cancel krk. Lgta hai samaj mere khilaf ho gya hai. I was driving 2nd hand celerio Diesel for last 5 years and majboori me bechna pda due to Delhi diesel rule. Gadi me koi problem nai thi and I was very happy with it. Maine both tiago petrol, Punch and Celerio test drive kra within an hour and found the performance of celerio is even better than Punch petrol. Build quality ki wjh se Tata le rha tha but after driving Maruti and my driving need of driving 95% in Delhi NCR I went for Celerio. Petrol me city mileage 21 ka hai. Smooth, no stress, cost effective...

Didn't subscribed yet...but after watching whole video respect from heart for both of you & subscribed. Money is essential for living good life but the pleasure of earning money in legit & honest way is awesome.
