00:00A sound engineer called me and told me that he had gone for a live recording.
00:05A young boy told me the story of your film.
00:08I was so shocked.
00:10He told me that we should help him.
00:12He told me that we should help him.
00:15That was my success.
00:19I liked Meiyazhagan very much.
00:22Because I had gone through that life, it connected me a lot.
00:28I liked Jamma very much.
00:32Cinema is all about screenplay.
00:35We should read books about screenplay.
00:37We should watch a lot of screenplays.
00:39We should follow the directors.
00:41I think all these are very important.
00:44We should have good friends for screenplay.
00:47It is very important to have good friends.
00:52I think friends are the ones who decide the film.
00:57If they don't agree with the film,
01:00we might have to go to the wrong path.
01:09If a reviewer doesn't say that the film is good,
01:12the film won't be in theatres for the next four days.
01:18The film was made in a group of four people.
01:20The film was made in a group of four people.
01:26We decided to make the film in that group.
01:28It was a good start for me.
01:36You shouldn't have put the logo.
01:38It was such a bad film.
01:40We shouldn't have put the logo?
01:44Their judgement was...
01:50The film got more popular after it was adapted for OTT.
01:58Is there a situation where you have to make a film together?
02:02No, a film needn't be adapted for OTT.
02:08The film has to reach the audience.
02:14I swear I didn't make the film as OTT.
02:18Some films can be seen in theatres, but not in OTT theaters...
02:23OTT really helped us a lot...
02:28But we only made films for theatres...
02:33We made films for the people...
02:38You're making a film for Samath Uthan. Have you noticed any changes since the release of the film?
02:43I was very happy. Everyone in my village spoke to me very happily.
02:48Even now, I'm very happy.
02:53Did Samath Uthan cause any change?
02:58No, it's still there...
03:03I'm very happy in my village.
03:08A lot of people told me that this is how we play in our village.
03:13I was very happy.
03:18We used to play sports...
03:23I don't know if anything will happen.
03:28It's a dream to make a film with that desire.
03:33We want to be among good artists.
03:38I feel responsible for helping people.
03:43We help people in different ways.
03:48Yesterday, a sound engineer called me...
03:53I had gone for a live recording.
03:58A young boy told me the story of your film.
04:03I was very shocked.
04:08He told me that he wanted to help in a school.
04:13I was very happy to hear that.
04:18The same thing happened with Suresh Anna's film.
04:23We went to a theatre.
04:28We sat at the National Theatre.
04:33We went to have tea.
04:38A third person called me and spoke to my brother.
04:43We hadn't spoken for a long time.
04:48That was a big success for me.
04:53Each film was different.
04:58His film taught us not to do certain things in a hurry.
05:03Each film was different.
05:08I felt that way when I first saw a film called Children's Affair.
05:13I felt that way when I first saw a film called Children's Affair.
05:18Before that, when I was in college...
05:23I thought that Islamists would always carry guns and bombs.
05:28I saw a film called Children's Affair for the first time.
05:33I had never seen an Islamic country where a father, a brother, a sister...
05:38I had never seen an Islamic country where a father, a brother, a sister...
05:43When I was in college, I saw that film for the first time.
05:48I saw that film for the first time.
05:53Until then, I had only seen Islamic countries with guns and bombs.
05:58I was scared of them.
06:03I was scared of them.
06:08I was 22-23 years old when I came to college.
06:13I grew up watching films.
06:18I saw a film called Children's Affair.
06:23I thought that a film would change my view of a country.
06:28I believed that a film would do that.
06:33I thought that a film would do that.
06:38I thought that a film would do that.
06:43I thought that a film would do that.
06:48Everyone liked it.
06:53Everyone liked it.
06:58I was very emotional when I saw it.
07:03It's a work of love.
07:08I believe that a film would do that.
07:13I believe that a film would do that.
07:18When I heard about JBB...
07:23I thought that a lot of people would watch it as a family.
07:28I thought that a lot of people would watch it as a family.
07:33I thought that a lot of people would watch it as a family.
07:38A lot of people have called me crying.
07:43Like Michael said, it's about how to reach a child.
07:48Like Michael said, it's about how to reach a child.
07:53A lot of people have called me crying.
07:58That's what makes me happy.
08:03We've achieved something.
08:08We've achieved something.
08:13You've all made content-based films.
08:18Will there be a commercial film in the future?
08:23All my films are commercial.
08:28All my films are commercial.
08:33That's what we're doing.
08:38That's why we're here.
08:43We have a family.
08:48We've worked hard all these years.
08:53We can't just sit around.
08:58I don't know if there will be a commercial or not.
09:03I want to make a film that people will like.
09:08People like the films we've made, right?
09:13You've talked about love.
09:18Why shouldn't I talk about that in my second film?
09:23We'll definitely talk about that.
09:28It's difficult to make a film without that.
09:33You've made a lot of films this year.
09:38Do you have any other films that you'd like to celebrate?
09:43Without these four films...
09:48Gemma.
09:53I really liked Gemma.
09:58It connected me a lot.
10:03Gemma, Lover...
10:08There were a lot of films this year.
10:13There were a lot of films.
10:18I liked a lot of films.
10:23There are a lot of good films.
10:28The first film is a dream for a director.
10:33When you tell it to a director, there are a lot of doubts.
10:38There are a lot of questions.
10:43You've succeeded in a film.
10:48Did you face any difficulties?
10:53I didn't face any difficulties.
10:58I've told this to a lot of directors.
11:03I've told this to a lot of directors.
11:08I've told this to a lot of directors.
11:13Have you exceeded that budget?
11:18I've told this to two people.
11:23The second one is Lemon Leaf.
11:28I narrated the script to them.
11:33They agreed to it.
11:38I've only told this to Ranjith.
11:43I didn't face any changes in the script.
11:48I didn't face any changes in the script.
11:53I've only told this to Ranjith.
11:58I've only told this to Ranjith.
12:03What was the reason?
12:08I was committed to two things.
12:13I was committed to two things.
12:18It was easier in the beginning.
12:23A different film was made.
12:28We knew how to build it.
12:33The situation helped me a lot in the start.
12:38The situation helped me a lot in the start.
12:43I've met a lot of people over the years
12:48It was a big travel for me
12:53Kurumpudam helped me a lot
12:58What would you like to say to those people?
13:03How should they approach a producer?
13:08I've told this to my friends
13:13There are two problems with going with a fresh actor
13:18I had rehearsed my film with everyone for a month and a half
13:28Everyone was new to the industry
13:33It was a time for them to become actors
13:38It was a time for them to become actors
13:43I had more days to learn
13:48When you have two or three people, it's different
13:53I've experienced it
13:58I was warned about the Vattara rules
14:03I was warned about the Vattara rules
14:08I was warned about the Vattara rules
14:13I've spoken only Malayalam in the Vattara rules
14:18I've spoken only Malayalam in the Vattara rules
14:23If you have a fever, you ask if you have a cold
14:28If you don't have a cold, you ask if you have a fever
14:33If you talk to an Indian, they'll say it's a vegetable
14:38If you talk to an Indian, they'll say it's a vegetable
14:43I avoided these things like the Vattara rules
14:48I avoided these things like the Vattara rules
14:53I sent messages to people that I didn't understand the slang
14:58I sent messages to people that I didn't understand the slang
15:03I couldn't understand the movie because the language wasn't right
15:08So, I had to face these two problems.
15:12So, when I had to deal with all these new faces,
15:16I had to deal with all these problems.
15:20I'm just stating the facts.
15:24What I want to say to the newcomers is that
15:28if they have done the script,
15:32they should first know what kind of producer they like.
15:36I think it's a good thing.
15:40I think it's a good thing to approach people
15:44with an understanding of what kind of genre
15:48or what kind of commercial or experimental movie
15:52they are doing.
15:56For me, no matter what kind of story it is,
16:00we have to have a lot of confidence in our story
16:04and get down to it.
16:08No matter how many times we go back and forth,
16:12there will always be a preparation for that story.
16:16We can go back and forth.
16:20There will always be a producer who fits our mindset.
16:24When they come, their start will be like this.
16:28I want to read a lot of books.
16:32I want to read a lot of books.
16:36I want to read books about screenplay.
16:40I want to watch a lot of screenplays.
16:44I want to follow directors.
16:48I want to have good friends.
16:52I want to have good friends who know cinema.
16:56I want to have good friends who know cinema.
17:00If we write for them, they'll tell us what's wrong.
17:04We have to realize that and correct it.
17:08We have to do what we like.
17:12We have to decide what we're going to do.
17:16I don't know how to write.
17:20Screenplay is the main tool for cinema.
17:24We have to write for screenplay.
17:28It's important to watch a lot of screenplays.
17:32I really like Venkar Vai and Inari TV's films.
17:36I've seen Godfather a hundred times.
17:40Even now, it's a new experience for me.
17:44The film is like a guide, a bible.
17:48Everything is important to me.
17:52There's staging, lighting, music...
17:56I've seen that film a lot of times.
18:00I'm going to make a film.
18:04I have to be honest with myself.
18:08I don't know if I like this genre or not.
18:12But I have to be honest with my story.
18:16I have to know what I'm doing wrong.
18:20If I don't do it right, I have to correct it.
18:24I have to be ready for that.
18:28I don't think I'll be successful.
18:32I have to work hard.
18:36Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't.
18:40But the film is important to me.
18:44I have to be happy as an artist.
18:48You'll find it difficult at times.
18:52But you have to keep trying.
18:56It will take you to a place.
19:00The four friends you mentioned...
19:04I'll read a story to someone...
19:08they'll criticize it honestly...
19:12I think those friends are the ones who decide the film.
19:16If they don't like it, you have to change it.
19:20If they say something wrong,
19:24we might have to go in the wrong direction.
19:28Dinagar is a close friend of mine.
19:32He's a close friend of everyone.
19:36Dinagar read my story about six months ago.
19:40Six months later, he called me...
19:44He was going to narrate his story.
19:48I read his story and asked him to listen to it.
19:52He referred me to the film.
19:56That's how I made the film.
20:00You have to have a good heart.
20:04You have to have angels around you.
20:08That's very important.
20:12Both of them are my classmates.
20:16They tell me what's wrong and how to fix it.
20:20It's very difficult for me.
20:24I don't know what to write.
20:28I can't do it.
20:32But what they say is very good.
20:36It changes the perspective.
20:40I've worked with Ramaprabha in my first film.
20:44I like working with writers.
20:48They look at the story from a different angle.
20:52My friends are writers.
20:56Ranjith is a great writer.
21:00He doesn't compromise.
21:04He's a good guy.
21:08He has a 100% political point of view.
21:12When we work it out, it becomes a form.
21:16Even if it's great, you can't buy it.
21:20That's what they tell me.
21:24That's my strength.
21:28That's what's important to me.
21:32That's why I read it over and over again.
21:36It's a very good thing.
21:40It's not like a script is written by a director.
21:44It's not like a script is written by a director.
21:48In the cinema circle,
21:52we either tell people to read the story,
21:56or we narrate it.
22:00I think it's healthy.
22:04What's needed for our story,
22:08keeps changing every year.
22:12Michael helped me a lot.
22:16He helped me a lot with the script.
22:20He helped me a lot with the script.
22:24He helped me a lot with the script.
22:28I changed a lot.
22:32It's a very pleasant change.
22:36Sharing it with friends...
22:40People are going to see it in theatres.
22:44When it reaches 10 people,
22:48it becomes even more supportive.
22:52Do the distributors and theatre owners have a good impression of the film?
22:58It won't be the same for everyone.
23:02First of all, it's there.
23:06That's true.
23:10It's a prediction.
23:14A distributor saw my film.
23:18He said he wouldn't distribute it.
23:22I asked him why.
23:26He said it was a drama.
23:30He said it was a drama.
23:34I said I'd do it, but I wouldn't put my logo.
23:38I said I'd do it, but I wouldn't put my logo.
23:42The distributor said the same thing to me.
23:46He said the same thing to me.
23:50He said it was a film that I shouldn't have put my logo in.
23:56His judgement was...
24:04He said it was a film that I shouldn't have put my logo in.
24:08He said it was a film that I shouldn't have put my logo in.
24:12It was more of a comedy.
24:16It was more of a comedy.
24:20As far as judgement is concerned,
24:24There's no judgement.
24:28There's no luck or magic.
24:32They're an audience.
24:36If someone likes my film, another person doesn't...
24:40They're an audience.
24:44A distributor will come and say,
24:48The first half was okay, but the second half wasn't.
24:52Another person will say, the intro part didn't work.
24:56Another person will say, change the climax.
25:00We'll keep it that way without doing anything.
25:04We'll keep it that way without doing anything.
25:08They told me that if I slept for 10 minutes, it would be super-duper.
25:12I didn't understand anything.
25:16If you slept for 10 minutes, it would be super-duper?
25:20It's all about the audience.
25:24If 10 people are watching a play, they'll clap.
25:28Some people will scold.
25:32If the producer is confident, we'll be safe.
25:36If 10 people come and say something, they'll bring a lot of people.
25:40They'll tell us to keep the first half as it is.
25:44They'll tell us to keep the first half as it is.
25:48They'll tell us to keep the first half as it is.
25:52Even if the producer convinces us, we have to convince them.
25:56If they say something, how can we convince the producer?
26:00It's like a short film.
26:04The fact that you bring your own film to an editing table is a miracle.
26:08It's the producer's confidence.
26:12If they decide what's right, we'll be safe.
26:16If they decide what's wrong, we'll be safe.
26:20If they decide what's right, we'll be safe.
26:24We were lucky to get the producer.
26:28He was confident.
26:32He was confident.
26:36He was confident.
26:40If a good film reaches the audience,
26:44it's in the hands of the producers.
26:48Whatever we create is different.
26:52If it's not in the hands of the producers, it's not possible.
26:56Like I said earlier, we give scripts to 10-20 people.
27:00We give scripts to 10-20 people.
27:04We take the film with the belief that people will like it.
27:08When we show the film on screen, the distributors correct us.
27:12We think about it before we sell it.
27:16When we show the film to distributors, we've already done everything.
27:20We've already done everything.
27:24We've already got the censor.
27:28We can't do it easily.
27:32There are reasons for it.
27:36There are reasons for it.
27:40There are reasons for it.
27:44There are reasons for it.
27:48Judgment is an audience.
27:52I have a question for Ildiya.
27:56What do people say about reviews?
28:00Where does it lead to?
28:04We've seen a lot of negative reviews for big films.
28:08Some directors have told us not to do reviews.
28:12Some directors have told us not to do reviews.
28:16You can't stop anything.
28:20Even if there are no reviewers, there's an audience.
28:24You can't do anything beyond the audience.
28:28They'll tell you.
28:32They'll go to the show at 4.
28:36There are so many things going on.
28:40They'll call you and tell you.
28:44Someone will post something and 100 people will go to see it.
28:48There are films that have done well despite the reviews.
28:52There are films that have done well despite the reviews.
28:56People, this is happening.
29:00For small films...
29:04I said earlier that some people didn't do it.
29:08Apart from that, some people did it.
29:12That's why I'm here today.
29:16That's the only reason.
29:20If you don't do it on the first day, it'll go out of the theater on the second day.
29:24If you don't say that your film is good on the first day...
29:28If you say it after four days, it won't be in the theater.
29:32If you say it after four days, it'll go out of the theater.
29:36That's wrong.
29:38We can't control the reviews.
29:42The court has given the order.
29:44That's your freedom.
29:46That's it.
29:48Whether a film is good or not, it's up to the audience.
29:50Does it go out in the mouth talk?
29:54The next reviewer has to make a film that doesn't ruin the film.
29:58That's all you have to learn.
30:00If a reviewer speaks positively now, they'll ruin us.
30:04That's what I'm saying.
30:06We can't do that.
30:08We can't do that.
30:10Everyone has an ups and downs.
30:12Everyone has ups and downs.
30:14That's how it is.
30:16A reviewer may like it or not.
30:18We can't keep looking at it.
30:20If someone likes it, they'll say so.
30:22My film...
30:24A lot of reviewers were saying,
30:26One reviewer had thrown tantrums.
30:28If you look at the comments below,
30:30someone said,
30:32I won't watch your review anymore.
30:34That's their own thing.
30:36It's up to the audience to decide
30:38whether to listen to the reviewer or not.
30:40It's up to the audience to decide
30:42whether to listen to the reviewer or not.
30:44It's their choice.
30:46It's wrong to say,
30:48you shouldn't even tell the reviewer.
30:50They have to be honest.
30:52They have to do it correctly.
30:54They have to do it correctly.
30:56If the language is good,
30:58they have to do it correctly.
31:00That's all.
31:02If they say,
31:04we'll make a good film.
31:06How do we feel happy
31:08when we're praised a lot?
31:10Even if we talk badly,
31:12we feel the same way.
31:14Even if we talk badly,
31:16we feel the same way.
31:18They're saying,
31:20you shouldn't attack a person alone.
31:22It's not like that.
31:24It's wrong.
31:26We know that.
31:28We know when we watch it.
31:30It's too much.
31:32You're overdoing it.
31:34The audience knows that.
31:36When the audience goes back
31:38and watches the film,
31:40the same audience will say
31:42that the film wasn't that bad.
31:44The same reviewer will say
31:46that the film wasn't that bad.
31:48The same reviewer will say
31:50that the film wasn't that bad.
31:52Even if you make a film
31:54that's bad,
31:56the audience will lose
31:58their expectations.
32:00They'll come to a conclusion.
32:02If they liked the film,
32:04they'll shout at the audience.
32:06They'll say,
32:08why did you talk so badly?
32:10The film was good.
32:12We don't have to take it seriously.
32:14It's a political film.
32:16In the change of cinema,
32:18there's a lot of participation.
32:20You know that.
32:22The director of Bicycle Thiefs
32:24is a film reviewer.
32:26There are films that have changed
32:28because of that.
32:30We have to take advantage
32:32of what we have.
32:34We have to work accordingly.
32:36Both are important.
32:38We don't have to do that.
32:40Just like the audience likes the reviewer,
32:42we have to make an effort
32:44to make a film.
32:46We have to make an effort.
32:48We don't have to make a film
32:50that we like.
32:52We have to make a film that
32:54everyone likes.
32:56I want to understand one thing.
33:00The purpose of a film
33:02is to give a good opinion
33:04to the society
33:06or to the human community.
33:12No matter what they review,
33:14we have to understand it
33:16and give an opinion.
33:18It's wrong to
33:20talk about it blindly.
33:24It's wrong to review
33:26an irresponsible film
33:28or a film that
33:30talks about an important issue.
33:34Let the film be bad,
33:36but we have to respect
33:38the purpose of the film.
33:40It's wrong to say
33:42that a good film
33:44is only for the family.
33:50It's wrong to put it
33:52in a certain circle.
33:54It's wrong to say
33:56that it's for the youngsters.
33:58Youngsters shouldn't watch good films.
34:00We shouldn't say that.
34:02We should say that
34:04it's for everyone.
34:08The film is very laggy.
34:10If it's not entertaining,
34:12if it's not massive,
34:14then it's lagging.
34:16It's very slow.
34:18Actually,
34:20we don't know
34:22how to narrate
34:24the script
34:26scene by scene.
34:28For example,
34:30when we watch a movie,
34:32we go slowly.
34:34It's really slow and laggy.
34:36When I told them
34:38about the film,
34:40they said it was slow and laggy.
34:42But, as his brother said,
34:44when it's entertaining,
34:46when it's engaging,
34:48when it's a massive fight,
34:50when it's engaging,
34:52it's enough.
34:54It's enough for them to refer to it as a good film.
34:58Even if it's laggy,
35:00the film is slow.
35:02Even for cinema like Meiyazhagan...
35:04I'm saying this as far as I've seen it.
35:08Meiyazhagan is a genre.
35:10It's a dialogue-oriented film.
35:12It's action-oriented.
35:14It's a genre.
35:16It's up to us
35:18to decide
35:20whether it's entertaining or not.
35:22I was surprised
35:24when I saw Meiyazhagan
35:26make such a silent film.
35:28He keeps talking slowly.
35:30It goes through a discussion.
35:32It's very interesting.
35:34Torrentino does that.
35:36It goes on for 15-20 minutes.
35:38He keeps talking.
35:40But, there's an interest in it.
35:42But, there's action in it.
35:44I'm saying this is a pattern.
35:46It's a slow story.
35:48Some films are full of action.
35:50It's a mixture of both.
35:52It's a style.
35:54It's a style of art.
35:56It's about how they present it.
36:00I don't think he meant that.
36:02I think so.
36:04I have a doubt.
36:06After the release of Kanguva,
36:08people are saying they shouldn't do reviews.
36:10If this was a good film
36:12and it got negative reviews,
36:14would they have talked about it?
36:16There's no way.
36:18That's what everyone is saying.
36:20That's the question.
36:22Why do they only support big films?
36:24Why don't they talk about small films?
36:26That's how it is.
36:28If they want to change something,
36:30they have to change.
36:32It's up to them.
36:34It's up to them what they want to do.
36:36That's how it is.
36:38It's a four-point review.
36:40All five of us come from different backgrounds.
36:42But, it's up to us.
36:44It's up to us to make a guess.
36:46It's up to us to decide.
36:48It's up to us to decide.
36:50It's up to us to understand.
36:52It's up to us to understand.
36:54It's not up to us to explain.
36:56It's up to us to decide.
36:58Big films need to be successful.
37:00When you invest in a big budget film,
37:02it's important to make lots of films.
37:04It's a healthy thing for a cinema.
37:06It's tough to make a film
37:08that's not good enough
37:10in a review.
37:24My heartiest congratulations to all of you.
37:26Please make sure that you like the next film as well.
37:29I wish you all the best for the next film.
37:31My team and I wish you all the best.
37:33Thank you so much.
