 We'll go back, this is part, Thrice. Thrice is nice. Watch along. Jaya, Jaya, Jaya, Jaya. Hey! The Malayalam film from 2022. How about that part two and one? It reminded me of other parts I've seen of other parts. Yeah, yeah. Three parts is a weird hairdo though. If you're watching this on YouTube, if you haven't seen the first two parts, please go check those out. But if you're watching this on YouTube, you can see a very, very cut up version, five, 10 minutes, very, very cut up footage because of copyright reasons. Yes. If you'd like to see full uncut unedited versions, you can head over to Patreon. Patreon, Patreon. To check out the full unedited version. And at the end of this reaction, you will see our, we'll discuss the film. Yes. End length. So, let's finish this now. Here we go. Jaya, don't be silent. Come, let's go home. No. Help her. Help her go wherever she wants to go. He has seemed like he was a, of everybody might be the one that could possibly be compassionate toward her. Hopefully. It sounds like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Working woman. Good, he's helping her. No. What? I've talked to Raj for two days. I'm going to go home. Yep. I'm going to stay at home before I go home. Leave. Get out. Raj, what did you say? You didn't listen to me. Yeah, yeah. Why would she listen? Why would she listen to you? All you care about is what you want for her, not what she wants for herself. Also, her husband's beating her. What? Don't cry over it anymore. Go. You don't need them. They don't love you. Very believable. Very believable. I mean, how hard it would be. It's the only family she's known. Even though it's toxic, it's all she's known. And she's probably dreamt, please just love me. Just love me. Just love me. Dude, don't look at the people. Dude, don't worry. No one has seen this. I've sent messages to all the groups. No one has shared it. Don't worry. I'll take care of it. Can't stop a video from going viral, bro. Women are like this. Why did she do this in person? Yeah, right. Yeah. Talks the talk, doesn't walk the walk. I need one last climax fight scene, like where she just kicks all the people. Everybody just goes off. Yeah, right. Exactly. Parties, I am trying. This is brilliant. Give it to him. Then we'll find out who it is. Who is this? I don't know. I don't want to see him. Give him the divorce papers. Oh, nice. Who is this? That was very good. No reason at all. We can't give him the divorce papers. She kicks his ass. Thank you, sir. Ah, everybody's seeing it. Because he's a little baby. Leave me alone. His voice cracked. Aw, poor baby. We can't live without them. That's all. Yeah, because you expect a mom, not a wife. Exactly. Bro. If you love him so much, why did you divorce him? Because I can't control her. She can whistle in her own place. No one's telling her to stop whistling. Woman judge. Nice. But what kind of woman judge is she? She's kind of like her mother-in-law. Right, we'll see. I'll give you one more chance. Why do you need a life? Such a decent guy. What? It's an objection. Why? They don't talk. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. Yes. Tell me, Dash. You're going to make a simple lunch at home. Wow. All of you know that. Dash. What? Oh. Oh. That was him. That was him. Yup. I thought you were going to feed your own sister. And cause her fatso. I didn't understand because of the hormone change. Dash, how do you know a woman in your life? I'm sorry, bro. Then? Five places. Oh. Then? Subscribe. Give me a minute. You're going to make a simple lunch at home. Stop it. Calm down, bro. Good team. Good team, good team. Nice conversation. The same exact conversation reversed. She's the one in the power now. Nice bookend. Bye, bitch. This is the best superhero movie of the year. How's that taste? That was nice with it ending with the matter of feet. Yeah. Thinking they still have the upper hand. Yeah. We know for all of you stupid babies who were telling us to watch it, we understand. Yeah, I understand. Thank you. That was fantastic. Absolutely phenomenal. Yeah, I don't. And that's a great, the way whoever described it to you said it's the great Indian kitchen with comedy. Yeah. It's a lighter take in a little more style on the subject matter of a gradient kitchen of toxic and abusive relationships in certain cultures. Just superlative in every way. I want to watch this with Andrani and with the kids. Yeah. This is going to be one I recommend, too. I think this is a really accessible film for folks who are not familiar with Indian cinema or Malayalam cinema in the West. Yeah. I think they could watch this and be blown away and go, I had no idea. Also who pissed them off, especially if they're not familiar with the culture at all sometimes or the subject matter and they haven't seen it a bunch like we have. And when it starts, it would make them think that what they're going to see is what they think Indian life is like with the stereotypical patriarchy, the kind of life they're living with the families, making the marriages and the arrangements. It's just, yeah. I'm kind of sorry we didn't see it any sooner, but I'm glad we finally got to it when we did. I don't remember it being in theaters when it was here, just like the other ones, but I would have loved to have seen it. It's a shame, yeah. Because... What platform is this on now? I think it's Netflix, actually. Okay, that's great. But, yeah, everything about it was just... The score. The score was incredible. One of the best scores. Definitely, you'll definitely be hearing about the score. Everybody's performances. Everybody, especially her and him. But everybody, the whole ensemble, this would have been one of those things that if it had been released in the States as an American film, I would have been telling people this thing needs nominations for best cast. Best film. Yeah, best film, best score. That's her name. Best direction, best writing. It's just Darshana Rajendra. I don't know if I've mispronounced that. Forgive me. I don't know if we've seen her name. Other than... Everybody. It was... It's like a great movie. Oh, I.R.U.L. Oh, we've seen that one, I think. No, we don't think so. Virus. Virus. That's where we've seen her. And we saw that a while back. Oh, and isn't that... No. Oh, okay, I thought that was the long name. I thought it was the boxing movie. No. It was Virus. Yeah, okay. So it was Virus and... What a great job. That we've seen her. Great job. Everybody. It's like I was saying in it. It just feels like no one takes risks and chances. And does originality like Maliello. And I hate saying like one industry is better than the other. Because I think all industries make great films. Yeah, they make... They have their own contributions. Yes. But it's just so consistent with acting, story, originality, score even. Yes. And just doing different things that haven't been done before. Yes. And they're just like, yeah, let's do that. That seems awesome. Right. Which is what you hope, you know, all cinema would be. They also have the beautiful capacity. Because there are films that are entertainers. And there are films that are the high caliber artistry that are on the level with these great stories that you remember forever. With the fine art that are in the awards festivals and things of that nature, right? Yeah. And both have their place. Maliello and cinema, and this is a great example of it. They can blend both seamlessly. They can make a high level artistry film that should go on the film festival circuit and be talked about for its caliber of artistry and still be an entertainer. They do that all the time. Shout out to the director, Veepan Das. Because, yeah, if you would have, I would have loved to be in the pitch meeting for this because... Yeah. They're like, okay. Member of Great Indian Kitchen. Exactly. Right. Impactful. What if the film festival circuit made it funny and everything everywhere at all at once kind of like fights things a little bit? Yeah. Thoughts. Yeah. Exactly. And they're like, yes. Counting in. Which is like, it's just hard to conceptualize such an important and deep subject matter as abusive and toxic relationship between husband and wife and families as well. Right. Right. And in the culture. But then to be like, yeah, let's put some kung fu fight scenes. Right. Right. That outfit. And it's going to work. Yeah. It's not going to be ridiculous or hokey or stupid over the top. Yeah. And I think one of the things that really Maliam does so well is that they incorporate unique scores into their films. Yeah. And that helps you kind of accept a lot of the different stuff that they would do as you're like, oh, this is corky. The score is oftentimes another character in the film. Yeah. This one especially. Yeah. I don't like that there's already a Hindi remake. No. Please. Just spread the love all over the world, man. This thing doesn't, this doesn't need to be redone. Mirkanis looks like he's producing. But then it's the only, oh Fatima, at least you get a good actress. But I mean. Yeah, but come on. Just watch the original. Watch the original. Because, yeah. It's already on the, it looks like the. Just spread the love. Read the subtitles. It looks like the original director is directing it. But it's like just. No. That doesn't work anymore, guys. Especially when something's as well made as this. Yeah. If you're going to remake something, take a film from 25 years ago that you want to retell in a fresh way. Yeah. Don't just make the same film for another audience because they refuse to watch it in the original language. Yeah. I actually think they should remake old films, not the good films that were old, but the bad films that had a good concept that wasn't done well. Yeah, of course. Remake those bad films into good films. Yeah. That's what we should be doing. Yeah, there's great films that we don't need. Having a remake of a film that came out last year, just to put it in Hindi, as opposed to literally just going and watching the Malayalam original version. Anyway, I want to stick more on the positive vibes. But yeah, everybody involved, even the husband as well. 100%. Great job. Is that Basil Joseph? Of the director of Manol Manari? Yes. Holy crap. That was him? He played the husband? I know because I know the name Basil Joseph because we've seen... I didn't realize that he was... I recognized him as the person on screen. I didn't remember that he directed Manol Manari. Wow. I think we've seen him act before. Did a great job. Joji. Oh, Joji was in Joji as well. Did he didn't direct it? No, he didn't. Okay. But it looks like he's a director actor. And virus. He was in virus as well. Yes. Okay. So I thought we had seen him before, but I... Please. I'm just now making the connection that he was the director of Manol Manari. I really hope this was successful box office-wise, and I really hope it gets great legs. Wait, he was the voice for... Wait, was he the lead in Associates? Shut up. No. No. Wait. No. Hold on. I'm trying to remember. No way. No, they just used his voice for something. Was that the... Yes. Was that the... That's the guy. Okay. So he played his voice, though. Or did he not? I don't know. It just gives him the credit for voice. Yeah, it's his self voice. I don't know what that means. Anyway, sorry. Just going down the rabbit hole here. Yeah, he did a very good job in his role. I really hated him. Yep. Everybody did. The family. Yeah, the family did a really good job. I believed all their toxicness and awfulness. Just nothing else to say. It's superlative at every level. I would have even loved another fight scene. I loved the climactic end fight scene, when she takes over the business. Yeah, that was a nice final touch. Yep. To bring it home, I love the fact that she basically repeated his chicken business thing too. Did she divorce it? Did she sign the divorce paper? That's what she signed at the end. That was the divorce paper. With the agreement to take over that part of the business. Yes. Okay. I just wanted to make sure that's what I understood. Yep. And she, because I was like, please. Because at first I thought the judge was going to be like, that's what she was saying, go to counseling. And I was like, oh. Well, she was at first, yeah. Oh, no. And then she was finally understanding what was going on, even though, you know. Which, and that sucks, if that's the reality that you can't get a divorce unless a judge gives you permission based on a reason that the judge deems okay. That sucks. Yeah. That's like once again. You can get a divorce for any reason you want here. You just need to specify a reason. And it's typically irreconcilable differences. Yeah. Yeah. But like, you don't have a, she doesn't have a choice in if she wants to get married. And once she gets married too. Yeah. Because that's the man's decision. Right. And she doesn't have a choice as to how she can get out of it. That's the other thing. If a woman wants to divorce her husband, any party who wants to get divorced, the other person doesn't have to agree. They're going to get served whether they want it or not. I think if I, like he was saying, if there's abuse or if there's a health reason or whatever, then she could file for divorce. But also, whatever. I love the culminating scene in its entirety. The judge did a great job. It was written really well. And I loved the three reasons she's specifying and what the men are saying the reasons. She makes him go write that a thousand times like a school kid. Love it. And she's got her little anger ball up there. She's consistently faced with things that piss her off as a woman. Great stuff. I'm watching it again. I will watch it many times. This is one I will share with a lot of people. Just like The Great Indian Kitchen, just a different vibe. That's a more serious vibe. Right. Which is no less great. That's a drama. It's a great film. One of my favorite Malayalam films. This one is surprising. This one has that same anger that you feel in The Great Indian Kitchen, but also it brings corkiness and maybe more of an accessibility for some people. I think so. And hopefully that you're smart enough to get the message. Right. Right. Because for some reason, I saw some people saying this was toxic, but not the way they were obviously toxic. The empowering of the film. The power, the empowering of the feminism. I don't know, man. I said that when we were watching it. I said there's going to be people who watch this and side with the men in this and find her to be the villain. Yes. I guess like the family was doing. Exactly. Yes. Phenomenal. Yeah. I'm sad I didn't get to watch this. I'm going to have to show this one to her. Yeah, she'll love it. She'll love it. So will Indrani. She'll love this. So will Ashley, Alexis and Micah. So will our friends. My mom will like this. I'm looking forward to watching this. This is one of those movies that when I've seen it, my next thought is I want to see this with other people to watch their reactions. Yeah. Yep. And I hope you enjoyed our reaction. Yeah. Our first, I do believe. I think so. Our first watch along for Mali Alam. I think that's right. If we've seen 30 Mali Alam films, which I might have seen more. We didn't do a watch along for See You Soon, right? No. Yeah. We might have seen more than 30, but if we've seen 30, we've had 28. It's about there. Yeah. The proportion is ridiculous. Of good Mali Alam films. Good Mali Alam films. I would say that 75% of them are just, not just good. They're great. So original. So well executed at every level of artistry. 33, it looks like if I put everything in the... Yeah, that sounds about right. In the playlist, correct? Yeah. So we had that one. This one is associated. And I know we have so many more. We still haven't even scratched the surface. It's the heck of a year, by the way, for Mali Alam. For Mali Alam. So this is just this year. Yeah. LJPs. Well, this is what we watch this year. We saw the LJP film, the Unius Associates. Irrata. Irrata. Roman. Yeah. Roman Chom. 2018, which you didn't see, but I saw that. Right, you saw that. No. If I got it. And I can't... It's hard to place, but it might... Because last year was RR, right? Yeah. And Kala. Kala. Yeah, it was between the two. This would have sucked. Because... It would have sucked to have had this in that argument. To have this associates and that one. That might be my top three, these. It would be and I... It would be harder because I love Kala. Kala's a great artist. I do. And then RR. And they're so... Right, they're so different. But... Yeah. But those three really do. I mean, if you want to show people, if people want to know the greatness of Indian cinema, just point out those three films from last year alone. It really is. The consistency with which Indian cinema, all industries, no other country in the world produces more quality cinema than India on an ongoing basis. That's true. Especially the Malayalam industry. Yeah. It's just... I mean, granted, we are... There's a lot, we don't know about a lot of other countries, obviously. Yes. And when we see international films, we are obviously deeply impressed with what we do see and I'm sure if we dove deep into those, we would be equally astonished. But of the two places we know the most, which are here in India, it's a mile, mile. So, if you're watching us on YouTube and you saw the very cut-up versions, if you'd like to see the full uncut versions, you can head over to Patreon. Patreon, Patreon. And comment, obviously, got all of them on there. I hope you enjoyed our watch along. Let us know what the next Malayalam film that we should review or watch along. Obviously, not all films are watch-along. Able. Worthy. Yeah. Not because they're not good, but just because, you know... There's not much to react to. Yeah, not much to react to. We're sitting there going. It's a really good one. The last one, the ballad of fights, would have been obviously... That would have been a great one. I saw when we did the review, a lot of people were like, we wanted a watch-along. Yeah. It would have been a great one, obviously. That would have been a great one to watch along. Watch-along as well. So, let us know what the next Malayalam watch along should be and what you thought about this film. We're at the halfway point of the year and I already don't know what's going to happen at the Demis because there's already been enough films right now that I don't know what I'm going to select. And you still got all the... We still got a whole other half-year coming. Jawaan, we got... Yeah. All the Malayalam film. We got the Vikram film that... No, this is going to be a tough, tough year. In the best way. Let us know what the next Malayalam watch along should be down below.
