Hmm. Anyways But yes, we Found out just the other day. They're like we haven't watched the rent beer movie in a while And so we miss this fellow and I know you guys have been recommending us Lutera for a long long time And so we finally finally watched Lutera. What are you gonna say? Was that what we were supposed to watch because I just watched gully boy again. Oh, did you? Just fill in the dots. I'll make something up Okay, once again 100% spoiler view. That's what we do. Yeah, I've seen it Go watch it. Oh, yeah, come back and then watch the review if you want if you just if you like being spoiled You're a naughty naughty boy You like it. Thanks for being here read the synopsis. Do you have it in front of you? The IMDB synopsis. Yes. Yes It says it's an aristocrat. We start that over an aristocrat's daughter Falls in love with a visiting archaeologist, but he holds a secret that could drive them apart Well done. Yeah, it doesn't give me anything away. I like that Directed by say his name for me, Rick, please Yes, last name is mutwani, I think first name forgive me if I mispronounce the sir I believe it is Vickra Matatia and he was he was also the director of Udan Really, yeah same director. Well, no wonder it was so good. This is also written by Anurad Kashi up The dye the dye so that makes sense again produced by Anurad Kashi up composed by Amit Trivedi Yeah, and obviously starring our boy Ranveer Singh Yeah, and say her name for me Rick, please And yes, but again if I mispronounce, I hope I don't mispronounce her wonderful name But I believe that the proper pronunciation as Sonakshi Sena and then bar say say the father's name Baru Chhada who is apparently a Bengali Star and I want to say something off the bat about that. I Recognized that they were in Bengal before they said it and I was very proud of myself I it was like it was like the first five minutes and a guy walked on screen. I was like He looks Bengali to me Look at you. I think it was because he looked like the father in in a poo When he was wearing the brown glasses Mm-hmm, and that's what he looked like and I was like he looks like a from a poor I wonder if this has been in Bengal and then it was yeah, so I was proud of myself As you should be anyways were you excited when you found out that it was gonna be taking place and Yeah, had in Johnny had in Johnny seen this film. She saw it when it was in theaters. Yes, okay gotcha Okay, so your initial thoughts Rick I My initial thoughts are I think this is a wonderful movie. I loved it I have a very few little nitpicky things that don't even really mean anything because the most I have to do is rave about this at a Bunch of levels. I just think this is a really good movie. Yeah, I think I think so too. I Really enjoyed this film. It's a a Romance movie if you want to say that with a little bit of Stockholm syndrome in there Which you know, I love but You should have a shirt that says I love Stockholm syndrome But anyways, yeah, so I enjoyed that and I let's just talk about Ranveer cuz you know, he's our he's our guy Yeah, probably the most subtle performance even more subtle than gully boy. I think Of his that we've seen of him Yeah, and it's suck because he almost Disappeared and how subtle he was which was that was it which is what I thought was so Brilliant about him in this film is just like because you know his big personality when you know Ranveer You're like you're expecting Ranveer. You're expecting his big in Padma Vat. You're expecting him a bunch of Ramastani Even sometimes in gully boy. He goes out even though he's pretty Ramleela. Yeah, he's pretty subdued there this He was almost Not Ranveer in this and you almost didn't look like cuz he didn't have the beard the full time And so sometimes it just didn't look like Ranveer a little bit So I this was one of my favorite performances of his actually I agree of how subtle it was and I think it was a huge stretch for him Had to be well actually, I don't know. He's a great actor So it's like I don't know if anything's really a stretch for me I think that man is a really gifted actor But I think this performance of his was just so subtle and really grounded and different and he never went over the top What like trying to display something trying to And you never knew what he was thinking in it if he was actually Wanting to do this or if he was feeling bad about it, which I think is an attestment to the writing and his acting And so go on what you want to say about him Yeah, that was the first note that I wrote was right off the bat was he's gully boy small. Yeah, I mean I think that's smaller I felt I felt he had a lot to work with that was really a testament to the writing and the directing in terms of the turn It takes in the in the in the second half by allowing him to play the more complicated side of the character and express that aspect of the character it's a very complex character And he got to carry some of that complexity and the silences at the beginning And you you know in retrospect you can go back and recognize what that character is dealing with when he's falling in love with her So yeah, I just another just great notch on the belt as far as I was concerned for him And then she I thought she was just wonderful. Yeah, and I think this is the first time we've seen her I believe unless I'm totally and utterly wrong. Let me see here I believe it's the first cuz I didn't read I didn't fully recognize her If we have I think we've seen her in something where she just had a very small role I don't think we've seen her in anything large. We have seen her in the song Gandhi Bach. She was in that film Gandhi Bob Gandhi Gandhi Gandhi So she was in that song, but we didn't see that film. We just saw that Yeah, a couple songs from that movie We've got it. Got it. But yeah, other than I think she did really really well as well. She She did really like I was because I was trying to sometimes critique her at certain points because I thought at some point She was being too big, but then I was like, I don't know. I think that's actually just her I think that's the character and she's very emotional at times And so and so I at first I was like, I don't know Is she sometimes being too much because normally she was really good and grounded just like Ranveer But then sometimes I was questioning whether I liked it or not But then I I went back and I was like, I think that's just who the character is. She's a very emotional person Especially yeah with what Ranveer did do her basically Absolutely. Yeah, you want to talk more about it. Yeah. Well, and she was very she was believable as Bengali She had this the stereotypical Bengali actress in movie stars historically. I have learned And what is historically feminine beauty in Bengali actresses is very round faces So that's the first thing that I have learned to look for of an actress on film Who's portraying a Bengali woman as oftentimes if they have that stereotypical Bengali round face So she was physically believable to me as Bengali And just the way that they carried themselves and what we've come to learn about Bengal and obviously with my Extreme bias toward is that part of the bias that she was I just felt that she was wonderful. I thought that she was Grounded again Very everything that on your I've caught you up puts his hands on It's almost like the minute you get started. He's like it. He says to everybody. Okay It's grounded and we're not doing it. So Y'all on board Realism or we're not doing it. I mean everything he touches whether he produces rights or directs. It's just got this grounded believable realism and I fully believe that these two people were real people who fell in love I believe the dad was who he was And our buddy who played the cop who we first were introduced to in Rossi. Oh Yeah, yeah, I didn't even notice that was him. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, that's what first met him was in Rossi He's always good. Hi. Yeah, I totally didn't even make that connection Yeah, no, yeah, they were all great. The dad was phenomenal. I thought the dad really really well Hey, you said he's a famous Bengali actor Yes The dad the dad that's what Indrani told me She said I think that was one of the big reasons that a lot of people there and Calcutta wanted to see it I mean, obviously they had heard a lot about run veer and this is how good he was a mess and They were excited for that and obviously excited for the fact that this took place in West Bengal and that he the dad is A very famous apparently soap actor in Bengali soap operas. Gotcha. Oh, cool. Yeah, he was he was great I loved him. I thought he was extremely believable and and you he probably is a theater background Imagine I would imagine he does. He's yeah, he sort of seems like it that So yeah, they're great every almost everybody in the entire cast was great the the detective like you were saying Before the the best friend. He was good And all that so I think everybody I think the songs were so so bar and we heard I think only one of them, right? Yeah, a couple weeks back, but it's I'm a Chivetti So that makes sense every single song was super super emotional and and and beautiful and I love the entire score I don't know if you want to say anything about that, but a hundred percent. I wrote this down early I wrote this score is just simply gorgeous And all of the songs are beautiful and I felt like the score got even more beautiful And it reminded me oftentimes he he was pulling some interesting Asian touches that almost remind me of some of the things that were done on the score of the last samurai without becoming so Asian That it left the realm of India, you know, it was just this Just it was so so beautiful. I thought one of the most beautiful scores. I think we've heard. Yeah, it was yeah So good. I loved how the director Gave us to not only did the script provide us to completely different kinds of stories from the first half from the second half But the director was so good in changing the tone everything about the tone the whole it's almost like he had a completely different vision from the from the production design team and the art direction and even the choices he used on his lenses Yeah, just the beginning felt like the warmth and expansiveness of Lagann and the second half felt like it had some of the the grittiness and rough edges that are in some of the more Crime story stuff that we see yeah, and that goes to the testament of I forget that you say that directors and I cannot say that I don't want to butcher it again. Yeah, let me get back to it again because I don't remember it verbatim but his name is Vick or my dick yeah much money. I believe yeah, but money. I think he did a masterful job of doing a film that Normally you would you know, it's a romance film and you could go just one way with it But he decided to do some twists and some turns With it that I appreciated and I think that scene where they were running and they were trying to escape from the police That was actually like a really good action scene like it like a great sequence It was great sequence the cuts and the the the jumps to each of the things to make it seem like they were going through all out The city was really good and flawless And I that was a phenomenal scene Yeah, and I so I thought that yeah, like I said like you said it almost changed It was a drama and then almost like an action kind of chase like Car car chase but on on foot. Yeah, so a foot chase But yeah, I thought he did a really good job, but do you want to say anything about the director? Yeah, I mean that's just I felt everything he did was masterful in terms of the way he kept us Engaged with the tone the editing pacing And and that's a risky thing to do And keep it feel like it's the same Film and keep you engaged without put was one of the best intermission breaks ever Yeah, there was a really good intermission break like great intermission break because you're finding out the reveal Which is actually a great thing you did because the only gripe I really have with the film is that it was a tad bit predictable Not all the time. There were some really good parts But and then I kind of went back on that though because I can't think of a Romantic movie that isn't predictable because you kind of just know they're gonna be together Yeah, right Like I can't gather. I even even Bonnie and Bonnie and Clyde, right? They they're together in the end Yeah, they either live together or they die together, but in this one. I I it didn't end the way I Predicted when I was watching it. Yeah, how do you think I thought I thought they were gonna die in the bed together Like her of TB tuberculosis and yeah, I know them and then him of its wound That's what I thought it was gonna end up. Yeah, no the minute the minute he said to her The last leaf in that tree isn't gonna fall I promise you that I immediately thought and put in my notes He's gonna go put a fake leaf up in the tree. Yeah What I didn't see coming was a really nice touch was the flashback She had to when they were painting and he's putting leaf on the trees in that position What I thought was gonna happen. I thought he was gonna climb up into the tree She was gonna see him doing it and the cop was gonna show up and shoot him out of the tree. Yeah Yeah, I thought that for a minute, too. He also doesn't know how to climb trees Like why would you put your footing on the weakest branch? Maybe he's never climbed a tree before a Corbin it's but it's but it was snowing and it was windy It was slippery. You're right. I'm sorry. It was very slippery. There was probably You know, there was insects in the tree that were making him feel a tad bit off put I Something I really appreciated in the script because up until this point. I'm about to reference I Kind of was rooting for somebody to kill him. Yes, what he did what he did to her and her dad I didn't see it coming and I couldn't believe he did that to them But when he starts to share with her toward the very end of the film his monologue about growing up His uncle was the only one who took care of him and it's the only life he ever knew But no one ever loved him She's the first person who ever loved him and he didn't know how to respond to that and was Really struggling with that and felt a sense of remorse and pain for what he had done for probably the first time in His life. So there came this kind of a redemption of his character By the fact that he I felt he was genuine in his admission to her of The reason I am what I am. I'm not giving it as an excuse. It's just an explanation I've never known love until I met you and so to have someone love me unconditionally and we love them back Is something I never imagined I would ever have And I thought that was a beautiful turn and that's a credit to the writing team. Yeah Yeah, I I Went back and forth on whether I am you know, I want people to die. So I Think I was always rooting for them to die I Thought I thought she was gonna die with him like I did too. I thought it was gonna be Romeo and Juliet Yeah, yeah, like a real Juliet or a Bonnie and Clyde situation Something like that. That's so I thought yeah, I was hoping it was gonna be that but then you wouldn't have that reveal at the end Where she sees that he's been putting up the leaves every single day That she's been that she's been there So that was that was a pretty sweet moment. It was almost it was almost like a notebook type movie But with murder I Tara it's a notebook kind of movie with murder say that should be the synopsis No, but I really really enjoyed it's probably one of my favorite romance movies that we've seen in India, I mean it helps that he's just frickin gorgeous But Yeah, I can't hmm. I'm trying to think of other romance. I mean I love Remlita, you know, I love Remlita Yeah, this one is a different Remlila is a is a far more Campy over the top that thing and you know the story where it's going because it's gonna be a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing This this felt more. I don't know that you'll like that with comparison. I'm about to give you Think about what I'm about to say without the acting difference. We feel but it felt more like Devdas I Acting no, I'm not I'm just I don't like that. Think about think there's a tree in the end There's somebody dies the guy dies at a tree at the end There's that sense of wishing they could be together, but they couldn't be together. So that's the closest thing I would compare the Relational I don't care what anybody says. This is way better than Devdas Like a thousand percent Sorry guys Devdas was beautiful. I'll give it that But yeah, so I would a thousand percent recommend this movie. Oh, yeah, go watch this movie It's so so good. I like this director a lot a lot. He's so he's done He didn't direct Dev. No, that's Sanjay, but he worked on Devdas What was he on Devdas? Who the director? Yeah, the director What's what does it say? Interesting that I referenced Devdas and there his name popped up in Devdas. Was he an assistant was he an AD? Let me check and it's the SRK Devdas. We're talking about right? SRK ashore you're right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He associate director and sound designer So he was AD and sound designer. So he was involved with that story interesting He was a writer in Devdi. He directed Udan. He was the producer of Queen He was a producer of ugly. He was a producer of man. Okay. He was a producer of mason. So he's in these he's in the I mean, uh On your own cash on your family Yeah Producers with a bone job. So yeah, he's a big time. Yeah, he's a big time partner with on your own Interesting. Well, I love it and that's score man. Just what a gorgeous gorgeous score score was amazing Yeah, great.
