History[edit]
Film Companion was founded in July 2014 by Anupama Chopra. The term was coined out of a line by the American philosopher Stanley Cavell: "The writing about film that has meant most to me has the power of a missing companion."[7]
Content[edit]
The Film Companion website deals with reviews, interviews, features and also caters to a niche demand for scripts of famous films in a weekly segment. Some of the scripts published have been Omkara and Rang De Basanti.[8][9] In 2016, Film Companion, along with Microsoft, created a show called "Beneath The Surface" hosted by Anupama Chopra starring Priyanka Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar.[10] Film Companion held a Critics Poll consisting of 23 different critics. It received a lot of media recognition from publications including The Economic Times, Business Standard and India Samvad.[11][12][13][14]
