 Oh, oh nice you started it. I did and nifty Are they the kind of scrape off or peel off scrape off nice you look at you. You're so ADHD They're like super super super super super clean looks like we just crossed off another one. I'll do it later Hey, welcome back to our stupid reaction. It's a Corbin. I'm Rick and you false And on patreon, you know you are like button and This is a little something I got off the interwebs It's a hundred. I didn't make it somebody does someone else made some random thing I think we've been through about half of them Which is pretty cool of their what they say are the hundred is that they're Somebody's hundred Bollywood movie bucket list. Oh, okay, but I mean it has stuff. I wouldn't put on my bucket list Right, so it's just a random collection of it's a random collection of collections and it's only Bollywood That's there's one of other industries. I couldn't find it But anyways they were doing a movie of you and We are reviewing a film Yes, cuz that's what we do when we do a movie reviews unlike most critics who review things other than films. I Mean people do it's true products books lube Irreviewed lube I've never done it, but my dad has It used to be big baby really big in the 70s I Anyway, we were reviewing fun Don't you wanna wanna fun the 2006 film you sure And it directed by Kunal Kohli and I think he wrote the dialogue and it's also written by Shabani boss he did a screenplay produced by the Chopra's the yellow light funny People and it was starring tiny little actor at the time named Amir's Khan and Remember when we had the mirror Khan see yeah, Kujo, it's way back Kujo Yes, Kujo and Stephen King write a book about her Kujo and Rishi Kapoor. Yep and taboo. Yeah And so If you haven't seen it obviously came out in 2006, this would be a hundred cents for their view Yep, pretty sure most of not all of you have seen this film So it'll be a hundred cents for you if you haven't watched it. I think was it Amazon Amazon We saw it on Amazon Rick your initial thoughts, please my initial thoughts will disappoint those of you who were hoping I would like it I didn't like it Okay, there you go. Bye everybody I There was just so much that For me didn't make sense and I I I just I never For all of Kajal was very cute and I liked her in the role I just didn't understand a lot of things that happened that really strained credulity for me And I really had set my brain aside and letting it just be Whatever it wants to be but there were just so many things in the storytelling that was Not Plausible to me or I could empathize with that. I just never really got connected or cared or enjoyed And I actually I actually it's the first time I ever saw taboo have a moment that I thought wasn't good When it Was a moment on the phone. I remember the exact line, but It was the first time ever I ever saw a moment for her and went oh wow that really didn't seem believable The only time that's ever happened to me Interesting. Yeah, so yeah, and I'll I'll explain in a little bit more depth. Why I just don't want to spend the review railing on a film that I think people nobody ever sets out to Purposefully make something that they didn't enjoy and I know a lot of people really like this movie So oh well here we go. I know a lot of people really like the movie So I just I'm not I'm never gonna be dishonest. I'm just gonna give you my my honest I agree going okay. Sorry. Yeah, I was trying to fix the the frame and I turned off the camera He just turned it off. He was like a hear me talk probably. Yeah. No, I I enjoyed this film. I can obviously I think there's Plenty of things that strained credulity. I'm I'm especially in the middle part of the film The the whole twist right That but I've seen way worse in bollywood films. Oh, yeah. No, I've seen worse 1,000 worse stuff that like I I I've no like dawn and stuff that happened in dawn and stuff like that So I was able to forgive that stuff. I enjoyed the whole Love the love story at least at the at the beginning and then what they did with it towards the end I thought a lot of the performances were really nice and really good really enjoyed gajole and this more serious kind of role For her that we I mean we've seen her in series, but it's usually like half corky. Yeah, half serious Yeah, because since we've only seen to a quite a few films of hers But no, I overall I enjoyed the film. I would watch it again. You would. Yeah, absolutely There's film set or Way worse that I would never ever watch again that I would not put in this the category you've put it in Uh, you know, so I I we're gonna differ on this one. All right Yeah, no, I so you found him likeable at the beginning Uh Like you understood what it would be about him that she would find as Likeable and you were rooting for the relationship. Yeah people people obviously He was doing stuff that at the time which happens in like shower con films and and other films of that that that era of like Oh, you've been a little too forceful there, bro. Like but obviously that's just What we as a society deemed was okay back then Yeah, and even it happens in Hollywood films too that I'm like, ooh a little forward there Yeah, or just his whole his whole his whole world worldview of it's not about feelings Just my needs and women are cities. I go into Moom and enjoy them and then I leave well I'm pretty sure he was trying to not fall in love. I think that was the that was the point Well, I also think he was a playboy. I think you know, yeah, he was a terrorist as well Right exactly. That's the other thing that I for me. Oh, I don't think like I don't think you're supposed to totally empathize like With him fully. I think it's just this. I mean at times. I was like, oh, yeah I'm more rooting for cajole to not get heartbroken obviously Uh than I am for that once you finally, uh, realize it is the terrorist. Yeah Um, but yeah, no It was um The beginning obviously the first hour was almost the the whole love thing until yeah, you finally get a little twist Yeah, there. Um, and so I I enjoyed I had no idea what that was going to happen like when when It happened obviously she she got her eyes fixed or whatever and they brought her And it was like hour and change into the film. I'm like, there's no way amir khan's dead Right, that's just not gonna happen in a bollywood film in the early 2000s, right And so I was like, is he gonna fake his death? Is he gonna What happened? Oh, it's it's a second half. Just gonna be all cajole Uh My my least favorite part of the film is when the tonal shift totally changed into obviously taboo's part and And the because then it became dawn. Yeah, it became a thriller Obviously, they're setting up the why he did what he did right who he is and it became this kind of action film and I'm like It's fine. It was like it was fine. That was my least favorite part I would much prefer the the first and the the second half when it was kind of just the three of them Yeah, um, but yeah, I Overall, I I thought it was good. I thought amir khan. Uh, it wasn't his best performance. Definitely wasn't his worst performance Uh, I don't I don't even think what his worst performance is Can you think of what his worst performance is? No, you don't like the film, but I don't think you think this is like his worst performance No, I think it's more about just the film you didn't connect with. Yeah, no, and I it's a film I didn't connect with and I I Um when you say thugs of hindustan. Yeah, I guess so no, this would be what this would be my least favorite of his roles um I just So like there were two aspects of it for me that just eventually got to the point where I was like It's I just I can't I can't get into this and believe anything or connect with anything other than Cajole, I believed and I think we had seen her before in a music number from this Where I believe she was blind. Yeah, I believe she was blind and I enjoyed watching her But there were things that just the the consistent straining of credulity Combined with me having no understanding about why she cared about him So the the straining credulity part for me. I just I kept having thoughts of okay So what are the odds that this would happen? What are the odds that this would happen trying to set aside? This is this is just going to be 2006 Bollywood movie There were just too many things that happened for me that was like Yeah, what are the odds that that would happen? What are the odds that she would just suddenly have an eye fixing thing? Why would they immediately upon the opening of her eyes send her in to identify something? Like that when they could do a DNA test Why what are the odds that she's just playing in the snow and his body of her dad comes underneath the ice while she's there? What are the odds that of all the random places? He could fall out of the sky and run he would be at her house What are the odds that after being shot and stabbed eight days later? He could run for miles It just kept going on and on the larger thing for me for her was I wrote this down. I said okay, so let's let's let's see He wasn't for me necessarily very likeable to begin with And then he lies to her fakes his own death and abandons her because his mission as a terrorist matters more to him than her Kills her dad you could say it was an accident, but he's responsible for her dad dying Betrays her country yet. She hesitates killing him and when taboo says you're the only one who can stop him Her responses, but he's my husband I had a hard time Why but he's my husband. He's done all of those things But you're still gonna be hesitant to stop him. It just was beyond the pale for me love That's not love Love that's not love. No, it's love It's all Brahma astra love wins Love always wins rick. That's not even a remotely cool Love you think that her love for him was a healthy love as it's depicted in that story and say that Never said that So you enjoyed the love story. Yeah You that kind of love Here's the difference once again between you and I I do not have to like or fully agree with anything in a film to enjoy a film You have a really hard time with that if there's a philosophical Philosophical difference you have with a film or if like there's a certain type of love that you just you deem You can't relate to because they're awful Which yeah, I get is it's understandable. I am just not that way. I can appreciate a certain type of film I think he was obviously I kind of knew he was gonna die because you can't redeem a terrorist Really for for what he did trick and so he literally killed a sick man and In his booth, so he's been doing this a long time Yeah, so they they they chalked him up as this really evil person who kills people, right? At the midway point right and so I knew at the end he was gonna die because You can have kind of an arc of like yeah He's gonna try to redeem himself and then but he still has to die. You can't redeem a terrorist that much That's like you somebody fell in love with the one of the 9-11 terrorists You're like in the end. We love him and he's we're gonna live happily ever after she did you just she can live happily He did not we should kill them in the end. Well, yeah, but I mean she's at his grave at the end and like she she just Well, you don't think that matter what seemed like no matter what he would have done It wouldn't have mattered. Well, you know how passionate Indians are with their love Cheryl cons done crazier things in his movies He's a very passionate man. Oh So I guess that's the that that I find strange Sometimes you because you'd never see certain things coming in films ever, right? You know, I saw I did I know nothing about this one. Yeah, that's not saying this one I'm saying in general cuz yeah, you'd like to say ignorant. I like to say ignorant Sometimes you overthink certain things like in this kind of film. I was like obviously I completely agree with you that there's so many strains of Yeah, but we've seen way worse in films that we liked. Oh, I'm not saying this is the worst film. I've ever seen Oh, no, no, I'm not saying that I'm saying you've liked really liked films that strain the fuck out of credulity There are times that that happened. Yes, it's just I mean I get it I don't know but there are times that they go too far I it doesn't have to always like there is a barometer for me I can go so far with the straining of credulity and then if it's not farcical if they're still trying to make me believe especially when you have a second half that's seemingly rooted in the dramatic and Wanting me to feel this elevated state of danger because this is a real terrorist guy And they're really trying to stop him from getting this trigger None of that was believable to me. And so at that point it's like what if they were stormtroopers That's why they missed them What if it was stormtroopers because they were like point blank and the thing and he was right down there and they missed them Oh, like ten thousand times. Oh, yeah, so they're stormtroopers. Yeah, they're stormtroopers can't hit anyone. Yeah, that's true It may have been better than phantom menace. That's for sure Anyways, which is why I don't care if you don't like it or not. That's fine But the I do want to talk about Kajou because I did I this was I think it was a really good performance from her Even though we need to see way more of Kajou. I think we've only seen I guess my name is Khan would be the first one that we Probably saw of hers, right? Yeah, it would be and that was probably more dramatic. Oh 100% That's a straight real story. And then obviously we saw all the ones with the Shah Rukh Khan In those times and so that's basically like Kuch Kuch Hota. Hi is half corky Cheetah cheetah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the second half is like and we've talked about how it's amazing. She can she can pull off So I thought she did a really good job. I enjoyed Amir. I actually really enjoyed Rishi Rishi always comes in and I think he's a I think he's an underrated dramatic actor Because I thought he was more like kind of just a corky funny guy Originally, but he he surprises me often, you know, I it also wasn't my favorite taboo robe That was my least favorite part of the yeah, this would be without question my least favorite role but granted she's like in a less than a fourth of the film true and it's just a she's a CIA agent for lack of a better. I don't know. What do they call the CIA and oh, yeah, but no F5 No, I forgot there's whatever CIA. Yeah, she was basically that yeah somebody trying to stop in so yeah, I agree with that The the songs I think we've reacted to about two of them. Mm-hmm. I enjoyed those But I think we're they're only about they're only about four. Yeah, I think there's only like like Four songs for four or so. Yeah So yeah, I really enjoyed those parts like you said I It's like my saying this is like an Oscar. No, I'm not saying You better know I am I am in no way shape or form But in the same way even though I I'm not even comparing this to shower con because I think a lot of old shower con films have a lot more Over-the-top acting in them and stuff like that that is way more hard for me to like what we just saw with shower con in Kalonaho, no, I felt I didn't think any of this I didn't even think any of the acting was actually over the top even in the first half I didn't think anything maybe like what they were doing with fat Yeah, the whole the whole fatty why are there so many characters named fatty, you know And it's also that the correct translation and and the simultaneous two people saying the same thing at the same time and kind of a Yeah, yeah, that's a very common very common name I input the name fatty or I don't know if it's a nickname. It's not you know, it's an insult here I've seen it a few times in old Bollywood films And I just is that an actual name is fatty an actual name where I think he's calling her like fatty this Gorgeous not fat woman. I know so Correct that because I have no clue why they always call the Friend is usually the fatty the friend of the love interest in in the films is usually the one that they call fatty So that's the only part but other than that those were the things I do agree like I said the middle of the film It's gonna be my least favorite because it was just completely different tonal shift. Yeah of the film and it had almost all outside of the the It had the most straining of criteria for yeah him getting shot a bunch of times and and still getting to where he needed to go Getting stabbed somebody like a helicopter of point blank. He's in the middle of a Of a field and he's the only yeah dark spot on a white. Yeah Once again, though, I don't often Critique shooting in films because I love certain films that have awful shooting Star Wars no one they can let it's kind of standard fair in a lot of films where the heroes gonna get here I was gonna get away even in a hero. Yeah, even in a place where you're like There's no way he would have gotten away in real life But then all those other things and in addition into the other things that I had mentioned I really just felt like his character was somewhat hollow in terms of We didn't really learn much about him other than his Grandfather is like the impetus behind what he does but other than that I didn't really feel I was waiting and hoping for a reason to empathize with the guy and find a complexity in him other than I Guess his naivete that he felt like my grandfather is surely not gonna use this trigger It's just a threat. Otherwise. I would never be doing it which I find I found that hard to believe I felt like of course you'd be doing this. You're a terrorist you I just didn't find any redeeming quality for the character and the only thing I really walked away from it Enjoying was cajol's performance But then yeah for the rest of it for me. It was just a no-go in a bunch of ways So, um, that's two love terror stories that rick has not liked. What's the other one? They'll say. Oh, yeah, no Yeah, if you saw the review on that one No for different reasons on that one. What are the other love terror stories because I feel like india does this a lot with terrorists Are those the only two? Yeah, and then I get you know Sorry, I get in trouble for lao sing chada because I thought I did a very good job Oh, yeah with that story and taking the whole cap and dad was like my least favorite change in that film Yeah, I actually I actually found that change to be a very interesting Uh daring thing for them to try and try and do I didn't fully buy it completely, but I I liked it Well, I like that terrorists. You heard it here first. Yeah, I don't I don't like terrorists. Well, I love oh, hold on Now I would like to see I'm trying to think of any films that we have seen um The first thing that comes to mind they're not terrorists, but like butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid They're bank robbers and you love them. Well, I know our our dosed gym gym one of his debut films I forget what it was called. I'm glad bringing him up as interesting Uh, I forget what it was called, but he plays a terror like a hijacked terrorist in the film I think we've recited the trailer a long time ago. Um, so that's the first one that's coming to mind I don't know. I think it's more of a strict. This is a terrorist movie Not as not like a big Bollywood romance. Yeah, uh film. Um, but yeah, that's Trying to think of other Ones where they would have the terrorist in there or even just the the complexity of the guy or the gal Who is the bad guy, but you can understand why the girl or the guy wants to be with them Like you're you're at a place where man, this is this is more nurture than it is nature And I think in different circumstances this person wouldn't have gone down that road And they realize it and now they have found the one person that Brings the best out in them, but it's too late because they've already sold out to this other evil part of themselves That's something I could I I genuinely not once could understand what it was She saw in him or why she just turned a blind eye to all of those other things. I had I had mentioned I actually just was in credulity When taboo was on the phone with her and said Uh, you you have to stop him and she said but he's my husband and I'm I just Yeah, I just sorry y'all. I just I didn't like it. Well personally, I wouldn't shoot my husband So there's that rick would shoot his husband. You heard it here first. He hates terrorists and he would shoot his husband rude Anyways, let us know what you thought about the film why rick is an idiot Why I'm an idiot. What's your opinion of it? Why you hate us both? And uh, and why else proof positive that I don't always look that bollywood boot Wow Not always now the checks from karen johar are gonna be way less now rick. I hope you know that that's okay Try to know as long as he's fine line here not given five stars every Bollywood film. Yeah, well didn't pay me enough Anyways, let us know what the next amir khan kajol Film should be let us know. I think we do they have how many have they done together? uh Who's done more? No, it's Her and her and it's sharuk and her. Okay. Well, they've done seven So how many of amir and i don't i don't think that many two maybe I would love to see marco joel though because I do could joel's one of my favorite actresses Because and in terms of just kind of like how I love shower khan even though. I think she's Might even be a better actress than shower khan. Um She just has the corkiness about her, but she can also bring the emotion. Yeah Really really well She can also bring the comedy and the corkiness to a role which I love and the more movies you see her in All she has to do is smile And you instantly Like her which is why I'd love to see her play an antagonist. I'd love to see her play a bad character I think she did because she's so likeable I think she did in Gupt, I think it's what is it g upt I think she plays a negative role. I'd love that. Um, I don't know how the film is. I'd love just you know what I'd love to see About to say I'd like to see a remake I'd like to see a movie like raman ragav with kajal and noaz's role I have a hard time not putting radhika or I know that's the that's the one you think those are the ones you think of But I'd like to see kajal do that kind of a role. Yeah, she probably do well Yeah, anyways, let us know what the next for amir khan and kajal in the next just Wonderful romance film that we could watch because rick now hates romance movies So we need to get rick back on the romance train Hate and everything romance. Yeah, you know me Is that it? Yep. Okay
