படம் வெற்றியடைய பாலமுருகன் பழக்கடை ரசிகர்களின் வாழ்த்துக்கள்

This interview is basically Baradwaj convincing TK to start his next film

Didn’t want this interview to end! Such a good conversation 🙂

Literally 4 years of waiting, man he’s back. Padam Vendam Ayya. Interviews enough for us.❤️✈️

TK - one of the greatest minds in Indian cinema. One can watch him talking for hours.. Thanks to BR for making this interview.

A wise man once said, "Life is a splash of colours, enjoy ever bit of the the colours don't live in black and white"

Some people love him because of his movies , some people just love him for who he is. In a world full of redundant answers, relatable humans and reduced thoughts . It's interesting to see a person who is living like this also. I hope he writes a book or something to know more about his thought process.

Only Balamurugan fans can understand TK 😇🤩

The sweetest ‘fight’ I’ve seen in the film fraternity. I’ve not seen BR walking out of an interview as unconvinced he was, even after ‘agreeing’ to the interviwee. I’m waiting for ROUND 2!!!

45:36 “The idea of that Kozhanthai is actually to create that conversation.” - TK

TK can be condensed in to one point: dont bear anything that weighs you down, it can be anything - praise, ego of holding up any achievements you had achieved, anything possitive you think about yourself. This man had dropped everything and just floats around like a breeze, thats what makes us love and envy TK, a vitue to develop.

Thiagarajan Kumararaja is a person as unique as his two films. Waiting for his next. Can't help wondering whether this was the most challenging interview for BR.

Two deeply philosophically sound minds giving us delightful perspectives about the cinema , and the world in general ❤

The smile in baddy's face refelcts ur emotion seeing tk after a long time in interviews❤❤❤

I loved the adamancy of both sticking to their views on why he should explain/not explain his films. Both were making sense in their own way. The irony is TK giving this interview which in a way was eye-opening and inspiring which served BR's one hour long struggle.

I still cannot control my laughter after seeing that scene in aaranya kaandam " Prabhu , Kushbhu"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What an amazing personality Bharadwaj Rangan is.. he is extremely into that point of why TK dont explain his films which I felt is exactly taking words from the audience who need him to explain and talk about his films.

What is discipline? TK :Value towards others time 😂 Man you just rocked

Man living his life to full extent. No time , social, money or fame pressure. Does things that he likes, at his own pace ,kings life man...

Yeah....Baddie Mr. Thiyagaraja Kumaraja He's the man 🔥🔥🔥

12:28 to 14:10 this is exactly why the man is a stand out director in India. can't wait to see what he has done in modern love 💥 15:50 💀

I haven’t even started to watch this interview but baddy you know how precious this is to me.. 💐❤️

Seriously, one of the best interview ever. Thanks BR and TK❤.

TK's reply what critic should do is simply outstanding. He should be named as "The Monk of Cinema"

I really enjoyed this interview. A lot of things that TK said resonated with me. After visiting the Smithsonian art museum once, I’d shared pictures of some of the abstract paintings on Facebook and jokingly said that they reminded me of the paintings my son had made when he was a toddler. I remember some people took offense to that post and one person even suggested I take an art class to appreciate such paintings. And I was wondering why I should have someone teaching me how to appreciate something. It either appeals to me or it doesn’t … it’s instinctive and in the moment. Having someone explain to you how it must be appreciated seems, for the lack of a better word, second-hand. And almost paternalistic. As if to say, this is the way this art must be seen.

he just fixes my mind.

It’s a fanboy moment even for Baddie! 😂😂

It's great to know more and more about TK's creative genius. Thanks to BR for prying TK with sensible questions ❤

The most inspiring TK quote for me in this entire interview was when he said “ when you see a product(film)as a business, it’s different but if you see it as an art it becomes a kickass art👌”. So which one you prefer? It’s your choice. Ref 35:00 I also think @ 48:00 when TK was asked why he finds it’s pointless in explaining to audience about a directors choice of shots, he says “with that you close the doors of alternative perspectives and curiosity and given the fact that the people who come to master class amature , removes their freedom to be curious in future, because they are stuck to one perspective to it”. Now BR thinks that masterclass are educational and could inspire enthusiasts to do better but TR thinks it equally shuts other perspective (i.e. 1000 ideas vs 10 ideas), the thing he keeps saying is about more options for curious ideas/perspectives. Quite an argumentative point but an important point. However, nothing would harm in seeing masterclass it’s business in a way but there is no right or wrong as long the director is sincere in his film making objectives. I could see that TK is concern about how the art of filmmaking becomes too institutionalised that it shuts curiosity for alternative perspectives. He want art of filmmaking more democratic. Here I would like to say what’s inspiring is that Barathiraja till today finds it inspiring and quite often says he wished he could have done like TK or Vetrimaran in his films. It show that Barathiraja is ever passionate about learning and doing his craft. In a way timeless. It’s joy to see Tamil Filmmakers past or now have always been bold in thinking how to make their films engage their audience and the variety of stories and film making like Balu Mahendra,Sreedar,Manirathnam,Shankar,Vetrimaran and so on the list goes on..continue to inspire younger directors. In recent times the director is Darani Rajendran “Yaathisai” is another great effort. Should continue to have a democratic thinking with variety of creative ideas in Tamil film makers. That’s their strength.

If there is one film maker whose movies we should watch without seeing any reviews, it is TK! It will be an individualised experience.

One of the best interview! Informative & philosophical

33:55 Man the question and the answer to it 💥

This is the best interview I ever watched about films

I have seen this is the first time Rangan Sir tried to pull words from his mouth as a critique and also as a fan boy. I love that you’re telling him that u like his adamancy. Good one Sir.

Titanic movie re-release appo TK va Palazzo IMAX la paathan very humble and down to earth 💯❤️ photo edukala ethuvum pesala but feels great sir ✨❤️

the interview actually felt like some centuary old marcus aurelius quotes........ what a deep sense of knowledge and understanding about life... probably the only director in the world who says somebody from future might decode a different opinion in my film and am not going to shut that door🥶🥶🥶 Tk always seems like modern day Da Vinci

TK is actually way too practical , it comes across as him being philosophical. Both BR and TK perspectives are right from my perspective as I'm a fan of both of them. Like BR said , To know more about TK would enrich my knowledge in cinema ....but like TK said , the more I know about one's perspective it kills the reason for art being subjective. One of the best interviews ever💯🔥♥️

When Baddy asked TK whether he likes to make films, he instantly replied NO- to address that the restrictions and freedom of this profession is substantially lesser comparatively. I got reminded of a similar statement from Lokesh Kanagaraj in an interview, where he mentioned how can you be nonchalant about various things as a director, without having to worry about changing and adapting yourself to an environment to fit-in. Thus he wouldn’t hesitate to jump into a different profession if this doesn’t work anymore. It’s fascinating how they share similar perspectives about filmmaking in general.

Man he's perspective towards films.. 💥 Literally he's words are delightful ✨💯

Thanks BR for making this❤This will be useful for soo many upcoming film makers. Its time to change from commercial cinema to sensible cinema💥

Mr. TK is a kind of Film-Maker, who understands the real meaning of cinema. For him its not just "Entertainment" like many of the audiences or film buffs expect. For him ultimately its art and the purpose of the film that purely trying to communicate to the audience. That's why he make films once in 4 -5 years but his films teach a lot of things. Thank You Baddy Sir🙏🏻 for giving such an impacting interview with this genius.

Was waiting for this ! ❤

How long a wait for this conversation 😍

Even though he struggles to communicate his thoughts out verbally , The amount of effort he puts while conveying his thoughts is respectable thing. ❤

Whoa!! Loved the interview. Thank you

Gave me chills when he mentioned RGV. Now RGV is only about his interviews and opinions, which are brilliant, by the way. but TK ends with saying "people don't have consider me serious if I end up doing those interviews and blogs". Brilliant interview, as always. Didn't know BR could be a lot more persuasive.

My god, this was a masterclass. What a brilliant mind this guy has. As a commercial artist i always struggled to convey my art. Which I really don't have to. Could never phrase it better than TK did. Yes it's not clear but at the end of the day you should not be explaining art but just enjoy it experience it. It's subjective. Kudos to BR as he was probing the matter with the intention of clarifying the mystery of this art. But that's the thing, you can't articulate or put great art into words. The moment you do that, you lower the value of that piece of work. As it becomes the next formula or the 'set way' people will start adapting it. Guess that's where kumar was trying take BR, and was very successful at it. Brilliant interview. Thankyou for this BR. Love your work. Please keep bringing to us such interesting conversations. Thankyou once again.

Really loved this interview n the way the debate happened on Closing n Opening doors... Loved it ❤ Director Sir pls give more interviews n ur perspective s out of the box..

Very natural human being TKR❤. Not possible to be like him. He is a true genius

Awaiting interview😊😊

This man is talking life philosophies through the art of explaining holistically the art of cinema. Respect. You got nerves and brains.

Thanks for this gem, BR. I have always believed that movies should make me ponder about something and that it should entertain/engage at the same time. this interview was great ❤

Big thankyou br❤

15:22 🤣🤣🤣🤣 my longest laugh ever - TK sir 🛐⚡

This interview was really a tough one, to watch or to be a part of it. Huge respects for baddy sir and tk sir for pulling it off.

This Interview is Perfect Example of What happens when Unstoppable Force meets an Immovabale object😂💥 Completely Enjoyed it how the Two Extremists stay to their beliefs till the end❤❤❤

One of the best Interviews from Bk.. TK man in form expecting more movies from him

Wow one hour interview 🤩

When BR living in his fanboy moment 🎉

I can see many people's thoughts with interviews.🎉

Super interview nice to watch.. thanks barad sir

This interview is like sitting in a bigg #library & picking up beautiful #BOOKS reading for hours together...❤️🥰✌🏻❣️ Seriously #BR purely a bliss to my #MIND ... Tons of thanks to #GalattaPlus

very early days of Kumararaja..I participated with him for a documentary he made titled STHALAPURANAM. Now, I am realising how unique he is.

That analogy about the colour Red. OMG. Mind blowing TK literally closed the door on this one. No way i am thinking that any other way is possible 🎉🎉🎉

excited!!!

So happy to see TRK after long time tq baddy 💖

Not only his films toughts us ,his interviews too a lot ... The last 5 minutes of question & ansewrs we got from him were like no way less than a words of saint or philosopher or an alien even

Here are some cringe comment templates, instagram cinema kannis feel free to use it "Neenga padame panna vendam, interview atleast yearly kudunga" "Don't understand tamil but i can feel the love for cinema in his voice"

Awesome Experience. Thanks to Both .

Could see the conversation is so genuine and Realistic!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Interesting conversation and perspectives. ❤

I really wondered that he is being a mystery for a long time. Sometimes thought he chose to. But this one interview gave another perspective that it was his conscious choice and it has a reason. Good to know.

Modern love chennai's title animation is really a good effort, which also paid off. It is so unique standing away from other modern love series, also directs and prepare the audience that every short in the series is part of Madras story. Kudos to the creator Trotsky Marudu sir.

A unique quality in a person who glorifies choice of minimalism. This man is one of a kind. 🎉

It this interview was released in theaters I would have even paid a bomb to watch it❤

An engaging interview.
