"A major filmmaker got very upset!" - Anupama Chopra, Rahul Desai, Sucharita Tyagi - Film Companion

Anupama Chopra, Rahul Desai, and I used to do a fun segment at Film Companion on Mondays called ‘Let's Talk Movies’. The audience loved it and we used to get some really sweet comments to do it more often. Now that Film Companion has shut its operations I wanted to sit down one last time with them to go down the nostalgia path, talk about our journeys at FC, about the Film Critics Guild and so much more. How do we take the patli gali at the screening when we haven't liked a film, why did Anupama Chopra start Film Companion and so many more fun stories! Watch the full interview now.
