 I see where you're going with this Rick. Why don't you hand me that cock? What? I mean coke. I'm sorry kids Yes, yes, he talks about how big her hole is I'm Rick Support go SRK Cuz I don't wear the shirt what about you showed them your SRK tattoo you oh you can't show them that it's on your penis No, it's it's actually Sha Rukh Khan. I Don't know if you've heard anything. I said it's actually Sha Rukh Khan on my inner thigh right here, and he's reaching up I think would be better if I'm a nut I think it would be better if it was the full name of Sha Rukh Khan That way when things are flaccid. It's just SRK It's actually a funny idea. Thank you. Anyway, today we're doing a review And we're doing a review of the 2003 Hindi film Sing it just the same never had one lesson director is is Nikhil Adwani and it's dialogues written by I can't say that Noranjan Ian gar and obviously the screenplay story is Karen Johar. It's also produced by Karen Johar and Yash Johar And it's who's a composer Shankar Mahavadan It's a composer and starring Sha Rukh Khan pretty zinta Saif Ali Khan Jaya Bakchan amongst Thousand others yeah, but those are obviously your main cast you've all seen this film so obviously this will be a spoiler But yeah, so obviously because we are the only two people connected to India in any way that have not seen this movie yet till now It's very possible. It's very plausible. Yeah, I mean that's most SRK film especially the older ones Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you could tell me what you think I didn't love it But I also didn't hate it, but also it's I kind of did at times and you know, so it's in terms of the The the ones of this era Kuch Kuchota I K3G DDLJ is my least favorite I agree for sure and for those of you beautiful stupid babies who maybe were excited for us to see it Yeah, I didn't like it. Yeah, there were I'd say it's like a 60% I didn't like there was about 40% especially more towards later that I that I did enjoy always like to accentuate the positive and I liked seeing the songs again for sure Yeah, because we really liked the songs when we saw the song they're fun songs But I and I don't have much that I want to talk about Because I don't want to sound like I'm Just being mean. Yeah, you know why when I was watching I was like, yeah, I don't know if This they're gonna like this one. Yeah, sure. I did not And you know it happens. It's actually one of those things that like There's movies that people grew up with That they just have this nostalgia for yep, and I obviously most SRK films I feel are falling that category Absolutely, but like in the United States. There's a Especially in the 90s is a film called clueless. It's like a cult classic people love that film. I think it's absolute garbage I do not like that film at all, but I saw it like two years ago for the first time, right? I did not grow up with that film. Yeah, so it's kind of like if you watch high school musicals kid You loved high school musical. You probably have nostalgic for it. It's not a good movie Right, right same thing for me like there's some movies that Like I may revisit with somebody and see like it just this isn't a good example per se because andrani liked this movie But no fast times at Ridgemont High. Oh, you liked that. No, I do not like but yeah A lot of people would see that and go what is the appeal and the reason I like it is because I Was there when it came out and it has a very special meaning for me But when I go back and look at it, I realize Yeah There I like it for reasons that have nothing to do with artistic merit or anything else No, you know, we weren't once again. This is a early SRK film We don't look for had no artistic. No, I'm I go in am I gonna enjoy this film Right and like I said, probably 60% of that. I did not enjoy that much In a lot of it probably actually I think I would have actually enjoyed it if Karen Johar directed this film I that's what something it was missing. I agree. What's like a heart. I agree I'm not saying there's not obviously a lot of people say they get really emotional at the end and that's fine Right, but I'm saying like in those other K3G has plenty of overacting right and melodrama And so does coach at the beginning of coach coach all the eyes is cringe worthy beyond all get out But then it always gets to a place and maybe it's the love angle that I was missing Maybe I'm just like in a shower constant now and I'm like, I kind of just wanted to get the girl Yeah, I think you're right. I think it has to do with There was in fact, I said that to and running all over the place with the directing Yeah, it was I said that to and running at one point not the specificity of Karen Johar directing and but what it was missing was Using the examples of all those other films that we've seen that are of the era, right? That they had the exact same sense of being cringy being Overacted catering to emotion and all of that But there was a level of adorableness a lot of that was casual suspended in there You know, she's a huge contributor But there's there was also a level especially in the second acts of heart and often surprising roundedness that Tape took you to a place where you're like, you know what? I as long as I go in prepared that this is gonna be ridiculous up at the front I kind of leave with the sense of that was sugary sweet, but I kind of liked it This one for me was just I couldn't yeah, I mean I think the second second half got better because it there was like just there was that kind of similar coach control tie Beginning to this film where especially all the supporting cast man. They were just oh it was over the top over the top Every all the time it's what it reminded me of what it reminded me of was a really bad high school play Yeah, when you just watch everybody being over the top, but you kind of forgive it because you know It's not intending to be a Broadway show Yeah, and obviously we know it's the style of the time we'd seen it many times in those films that we have referenced already So it's not like we can't appreciate that. It's just this one did not work for us in that way although I will say and it's happened multiple times now Everybody else can be overacting. You know who doesn't Jaya Bach she's always the one that's just like everybody else can she came she came close But she did it in K3g as well right even Amitabh Bachchan was going right over the top And she's just over there just pulling it back. Yeah pulling it back. I love that I love you just like I'm not gonna do what you want me to do. I'm not gonna Like the first it took like 30 minutes for like shower condo show up in this film, right? Right, but I loved his entrance Yeah, he's like they showed him like he's like he's Jesus Jesus reincarnated Yes, and I love that's a part. I did enjoy. I was like, yes Did you also did you also notice I really appreciated this he also can change his hair length at whim There was a moment in the kitchen where he you know He went when he showed up He had kind of medium length hair and then all of a sudden he shows up in the kitchen a few hours later And it was he's had a haircut and then it went back to the next scene and his hair was back to the other length so Yeah, so that that part I did enjoy and the overall screenplay I probably like I said if maybe this had a different director That I think gave it a little more. I just I couldn't connect with a story Oh, no, there's there's things at the story that even the hands of the capable director I would have had problems with yeah, obviously there's a lot of like Extremely like most things of a certain era 90s, whatever. There's just stuff that's like ooh Very hard to ooh, it's like really ooh, but you do recognize this is a 20 years ago. Oh, yeah But man, it's not an India. There were some specific there was obviously a bunch of like Stuff that's like homophobic and all this kind of stuff in the home Although I did think some of the scenes with like that the that the Nana the his nanny the tray shaker Yeah, she thought they were like having sex or something Yeah, some of them but a lot of them was just extremely homophobic. Yeah But that happens all the time like I just watched John Carpenter film What is it called? Catherine Catherine the car one car one. Yeah. Oh, it's for the first time the Stephen King book. Yeah Same exact thing like they did so much homophobia. Yeah, so much like it's just kind of just what we did as a society This is fine, right? Yeah making fun of people So then there was a whole bunch of one of my least favorite tropes in Indian cinema is And I get it. It's Indian culture as a whole that likes to do this as well, but the Toxic parent slash grandparent that just gets completely forgiven and has a total character change in one night In in the name of just because she's your family and you have to write She just said your child is the reason this family sucks and I hate her I would have punched that grandma on the goddamn face I know and I would never talk to her ever again. That is unforgivable. I agree But no wait, but then she found out it's blood. So it's okay now. It's okay. Yeah, it was it was her kid I know yeah, yeah, yeah, but for me one of my least a K3 a KGF Not KGF K3 G did it as well many Indian film I think two things and this one the first thing I say I say just as a point of hilarity But the second one I say was seriousness the first one the hilarity part this Clearly has to be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for the most profusely used amounts of Glisserin and fake tears in the history of cinema That's an I was used. That's that's an iconic shall work on me. You're talking about it was used for sweat They use it for sweat. It was used so much so it kind of turns wrong I loved it. It is everywhere Those parts those parts of melodrama at the end. I didn't mind but by the time you got there three hours later Yeah, but obviously the stuff that strains credulity like a guy with the heart condition He has and no, you're doing. No, you're just thinking too much at that. Exactly. You're thinking too much But the the thing for me because there's a lot of things that bothered me I don't want to harp on because all it's gonna if I say them those who love the movie you're just gonna get pissed off and Those who hate the movie are gonna say finally someone saying it and that's that's the point Is to accentuate elevated artistry not to rip on things that I don't think are elevated The thing that bothered me the most for me was the fact that it kind of checked off every single box about How I thought of Indian cinema before golly boy and before the channel. Yeah, everything that I believe the west thinks about Indian cinema is this and I'm not saying that without the heart. Yeah, but I I I don't For me like that's one of the reasons I would among many I wouldn't ever recommend the film to anybody is because it's just not able to be palatable for me Whereas the other films from this era that we've talked about Yeah, they've got them too But if you prepare somebody you find the heart. Yeah, and I that for me. I didn't yeah, I didn't find that Yeah, I agree that then that was in on top of the fact that like It's just a weird thing of like she loved shower con But he was like no marry a friend that you don't really love That's just strange to me. It's it. That's one of the things I just couldn't get into I'm like And if you're and if you're gonna be gonna die Why not express your love and enjoy the last moments you have together and then she can live her life afterwards? Obviously, the whole thing is he's trying to be selfless and yeah, I know what the attempt was I get it And I know this is a highly beloved film and you are more than welcome to love this film Love it all you want truly But it just in terms for us and we've been exposed to Indian cinema and shower con for a long time now And it's just I think maybe it's I it's probably more this the story and I know the directing either It was all over the place started breaking the fourth wall at certain time And they just were like one two At least the white actors were good. I mean what? Was a bunch of actors who were But I I was hoping and I was really let down Right at the beginning when he first shows up they're playing basketball outside, and I was waiting for hey, dude I wanted him to play some basketball. Yeah, they missed that he didn't he didn't play basketball I mean he kind of did he helped him with the layup there while he was standing on the ladder, but Yeah, so like if this is like one of those things I'll say All those are the films, you know, I loved how you know cringing over the top K3G was I really enjoyed that film Just for how it's just entertaining it had everything this had in terms of over-the-topness melodrama But it was entertaining and at least it felt like endearing and fun, right? There was an endearing adorableness and heart to it. Yeah, the same with Correct, maybe not in the first half the first half was hard to get to yeah Yeah, but it brought it back and as R.K. and good role and the djlj is just I really enjoyed that film in terms of just Shower cons chemistry what what I thought of watching this was one though I think it was the last coffee with Karen that we were watching when he just admitted he was working It wasn't this film, but he was working on I don't remember which film it was But he was working on the film and had an idea about something he wanted to do that was of a Artistic and technical level and he stopped himself Not only realizing that that was gonna be difficult to do but he said to himself They're expecting something from Karen Johar forget it So yeah, this is one that I I probably like those other ones like if they were on I'd be like, oh cool Yeah, it's fun. No, I just I probably wouldn't watch this one again Like I said, you're more than welcome to love it. We'll always be honest I'm not saying you can't love this film. You can absolutely love this film I think this is iconic moments not boyhood I think there's iconic moments in this film like the I shower con turning and crying I've seen that meme a billion times of just him turning Yeah, and he has some arms spreading in this. Oh, yeah, just him being Jesus or the angel that's coming to save everyone I said in the songs are great. Obviously. I love all that But just the overall film just I it didn't do anything for me No, it's like there's certain places in the south where they have fun kicking each other in the nuts I'm not gonna go there. I just don't enjoy that I Ignore that reference ignore that reference. I'm being over the top. Anyways, let us know what the next Sharu con film obviously not one like this one though. Who knows? There's probably please. There's probably quite a few more like this But you you like gank, right? But I'd imagine that one has a lot of melodrama though, right? It's more mature. Yeah, but it's also Karen Johar as well. Well, he directed it. Yes, see see I I think Even though you obviously Karen drove can have those cringy moments and all of course he can he's still painful He usually brings the heart. Yeah, cuz he knows that's what the audience wants. They want the heart obviously But I can't say the audience didn't want this because this is a very loved film so right but there's a level of Sincereity that I find in the heart that yeah of his he kind of weaves through because I think underneath it all we've talked about this before I Think underneath at all He's a really good filmmaker But knows what his audience wants and expects and he's okay with that But if he were given the opportunity and we're given permission and was told an audience would enjoy watching that I really do think there's a pretty darn good Filmmaker as a director and writer in Karen Johar. Yeah, I agree. So I just you don't you don't win them all. Yeah, this We've said it. We just didn't although. It's not my least favorite SRK phone I think that what do you like less than this because this one is this one for me is of all the ones we've seen This is the one I like the least Chocta. I Did not like Chocta India. I didn't either, but I like this one less This sorry for if that disappoints this one at least had fun songs. I did not have fun I feel like in from what I remember in try it's been a long time Maybe maybe if I watch it again knowing my love for shower con now Maybe it'd be different, but I just did not I remember not having fun and maybe you're right because I do like the songs in this I Like I like seeing them again. Yeah, I remember when we saw the videos. We liked them Yeah, I do like this. I even like the cringe like how do you not like? Do disco? Yeah That's silly fun. That's so fun as is the the I just I just wish more the film was fun. Yeah, I agree All right, so yeah, I don't know. Maybe Chocta is maybe but I also want to have so I haven't seen in three years So it's not Devdas Well, I love the visuals of Devdas you bet you do and it's a great story Yeah, it is a great story. Your primary problem was with the actor. Yeah, but once again I wonder if I need to go back now because that was one of the first hour con things Yeah, I didn't have a love for shower con or yeah, he was yeah We should do that. We should revisit a couple of ones. We walked early You guys can let us know that's what if what if SRK said I'll I'll come do an interview with you guys You just have to watch Devdas again. I would do it. Of course. Of course you would of course Oh, yeah, but also Steph hasn't seen that so maybe Maybe I had to watch it with her because she loved shower con. Oh wait. She hasn't seen it. No, there you go Yeah, yeah, let her see Devdas and watch it with her and then report again Mm-hmm. Oh I've revisited films that I originally didn't like and I actually was glad that I did maybe anyways You guys can let us know there's obviously a ton of shower con films left Let us know what the next shower con film should be down below
