Really liked the interview and am glad enough respect was given to the films Dq does down south. 😳 He seems to be in awe of Irrfan. Yes, the introduction part came to my mind also, he has done more films than most of the youngsters in Bollywood. 😆 He sounds so sorted, enjoyed the interview
except for that vague reply by Dq regarding the Dileep controversy. Waiting for Karwaan!!

Is it just me or his voice has gotten deeper and accent a little thicker than before?

Oh looks like the closet fan is out of the closet 😛 Anyway nice interview
Good
He has the sexiest voice and he makes every language sound amazing 😆 He seems driven and passionate about cinema. Yeah nepotism sucks but this guy has the knack of choosing great scripts and he might not be the best actor out there but brings his own charm to every character. Loved how he explained Mani Ratnam's process. No wonder he is so good at his craft. I really hope MR casts DQ and Nithya in another film of his. They have fabulous chemistry and deserved a better film than OKK (I say this despite liking the film 😆).

Bad
Hilarious how he called Gemini Ganesan endearing and how he just had a lot of love to give and everyone has only good things to say about him 🤪 I can still forgive that but he gave a really vague and absurd answer to the Dileep controversy. Being a nice man does not mean it is okay to spout mysogynistic shit on screen Dulquer. And having an opinion on an issue does not make you judgemental. Oh well he is a star kid and he is obviously family friends with all these people so I guess it's difficult to take a stand. I will probably have to ignore it and focus on his face and voice 😆

Oh yes, that too much love to give part was so awkward, I was wondering what expression to give.😕 😆 Dulquer doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would voice a strong opinion and to say that all coins have two sides came across as stupid in this context. That was the disappointing part of the interview, the least he could have done is to give a sensitive answer but then I don't know the dynamics of Malayalam industry much so don't know how it would have worked or not worked out for him.

OKK was a bad film. The only thing that saved that ship from sinking was people going crazy over Dulquer, the eye candy like pair and MR's reputation. I think MR should take a break from love stories after Kaatru Velyidai and do something on the lines of Thalapathi 😛

Apart from all this, I liked the trailer of Karwaan. Seems like a fun film and the locations are great. They have chosen some of the best places in South to shoot the film.

It was ridiculous to say 'all coins have two sides' in the context of the question. Am not really expecting him to call out his father in public (most people won't) but at least try and give a sensitive explanation 😆 I can still understand his point about not judging someone based on their on screen characters but how hard was it for his father to take a firm stand and stop his abusive fans from having a go at Parvathy? This is probably why I have a lot of respect for Prithviraj at this point. He is literally the only guy who has spoken out on all these issues and made sense too. That said, I don't really want to be over-critical about DQ cos like you said, he seems like someone who would rather stay away and mind his own business. Problematic yes but thats how most actors are. Selective outrage and diplomacy seems to be the way of life 😆

Yeah OKK is not a patch on Mani Ratnam's earlier works. It worked because of the lead pair and of course ARR. MR is currently making a multi-starer called Chekka Chivandha Vanam. It stars Vijay Sethupathi, Simbu, Aravind Swamy, Jyothika and Aditi Rao Hydari. If not anything else, am totally looking forward to the album 😆

^^ OMG, I had absolutely no clue about this film! That is a stellar cast...Arvind Swamy, Vijay S and Jyothika. He has gone back to Santosh Sivan for cinematography. You gave me an exciting news today. 😆 I wanted a movie of Thalapathi genre and I get to know that a new movie has already been shot. This has to be good 😛

The last time he made a multi-starer, it ended up being a kichdi called Yuva/Ayudha Ezhuthu 😆 Hopefully this one's better. Am most excited about VJS collaborating with Mani Ratnam 😆

Bless your taste 😳 Should have expected it 😛 Anyway that movie had a fabulous album. ARR went all out with it. There is so much variety and the songs never get old. Fanaa was such a rage back in the day 😆
