 You know what they say to that, though? Magambo, shutia. Magambo, shutia. Shhh. Every single time he said it, I was like, if you were taking shutia, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hey, we'll go back to our studio and actually get some Corbett. I'm ready. I need to follow some Instagram, Twitter, Instagram, Instagram. You kept every time you thought it was good, he was gonna say. Well, I was like, obviously I'm pretty sure he's not saying shutia, but it sounds like Magambo, shutia. Magambo, shutia. Kuswa. Kuswa. Yeah. Obviously, if you don't know what we're watching right now, you're, you must be living under a rock because this was quite a popular film. It's, I don't know if it was sweat. Oh, love. You're, what is happening? I had something happen on my arm. We watched Mr. India. Mr. India. Mr. India. Directed by, say his name, please. Shakar Kapoor. Who apparently also directed Bandit Queen, which we've directed the trailer and it's supposed to be a great, great, great film. Yeah, we haven't, so I'm looking forward to getting to that one as well. But it's a starring Anil Kapoor. It's Shridhavi, Shridhavi, right? Shridhavi? Shridhavi. Kiddly the Divey too. And Amrash Puri. And a few other people as well, but those are the three main, big amigos. Big amigos of the film. Yeah. This, it came out in 1987. It's gonna be a hundred spent spoiler review. It feels so much older than that. It does. Wow. It does, right? It really feels 20 years older than that. Yeah, absolutely. We'll talk about that. But once again, if you haven't watched it, go watch it, come back. It's like a, it's almost its own genre in Indian cinema, honestly. It's like a superhero sci-fi family big Bollywood. Yeah, it's got that masala. Yeah. Because we now understand what's solid is it's genre switches within film. Hardly Indian cinema has gone like sci-fi and like- This is a one of a kind. Yeah, one of a kind film. Anyway, so a hundred spent spoiler review. If you haven't watched it, go watch it. And Rick, your initial thoughts, please. Hail Magumbo. Hail Magumbo. The moment it started, I thought, okay, I am so into this character. Please let this movie be about this guy and this thing right here, because it looked like a really, it looked like the 1950s Sean Connery James Bond villains. Yeah, almost, my wife said flash. Yes, it was very flash. Very flash. Very flash and very old school Bond. Yes. That's my favorite parts of the film. The film, I kind of wish the other aspects of it, particularly like some of the prolonged stuff with him and the kids, he was really good throughout. I never had any problems with him. Anil Kapoor, I just felt like the length of it and those moments, if those have been like left on the editing room floor and we had really kept it crisp and just focused on the whole of him with his invisibility and Mugumbo, that I love. That I love. I actually totally agree with you. It's hard to harp on it because at that time Therero film in Bollywood, it's just what it was. So there's not much they were gonna do. But yeah, I definitely agree, it could have been CRISPR. 230 might have been a good run. Easily topped off half. It took them almost an hour to get to the invisibility part. Yeah, because when they left Mugumbo and his island and we're learning about him and the kids and then Shri Deppi was introduced, I was like, okay, I was waiting for us to really get into what comes at the end of the film. And it never really got there. Thankfully, one of the things that kind of revives you and puts a splash of water on your face because it really did get me kind of going like this. I was like, where's Mugumbo, man? I wanted this movie to be called Mr. Mugumbo, not Hail Mugumbo, not Mr. India. But when they finally got to the invisibility thing and we started to see some of the, and some of it is so, we'll get into it. Some of it's so ridiculous, it's hysterical. And then some of it's so ridiculous because it's in the segments that are serious, you're like, come on, no. Yeah, so I liked a lot. It was a very entertaining film. A very entertaining. And so like it just... Bob? Is it Mugumbo? Yeah, totally agree. And we'll get into all the elements. I loved Shri Deppi was adorable. She was giving me Lucile ball vibes in terms of the faces. Especially when she was doing the Charlie Chaplin stuff. Charlie Chaplin? He had some moments where she's doing this, she goes to Improv, she's so gifted. And one of the most sexually explicit, beautiful songs I've ever seen in a Broadway film. The wet song with the invisibility kissing and the pressing on her breasts. They were basically having sex in the video. It was, you know what it reminded me of and I don't know if you've seen this film. So there's two things. First of all, people will think of Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze and Ghost, right? Cause there's a sex scene like that. But there's a film way back in the day called The Entity. Oh really? I haven't seen that one. Holy crap. Anybody who knows that, just look up Barbara Hershey, The Entity sex scene. You won't find it except on like all of these porn hubs. Yes. Because you gotta watch the movie because in that movie I remember when I saw it, I was a teenager. It was one of those coming of age moments for me. Phoebe Cates without her top on and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Dolly Parton and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Sigourney Weaver and Ghostbusters and Barbara Hershey in The Entity because she has sex with The Entity and there's literally a moment where her bare breasts are being manipulated. Oh really? And you see the finger in prints and the breasts going down. It is unbelievable. So yeah. Nothing like that. But yes, that reminded me of that. We'll get to the song, but yeah, I liked all that. I think the biggest gripe is it's definitely, it's too long in parts when in other parts I agree with you. I wanted them to get to either Shredevi and Anil or especially Magumbo in that whole storyline because exactly right when it started, I was like, oh my stars. This is gonna be, this is going to be epic. The minute he started to talk, I was like, okay, iconic. Let's just talk about him. The one word is iconic. Iconic. Like he's one of the greatest characters in movie history. We saw his character in like Indiana Jones' iconic. Man, this, I get it. I asked a question on Twitter. I was like, who's the most iconic villain in all of Indian cinema? He was the one that came up more than anyone else. It's so funny. And Drani said that her dad, before he got blessed and passed away when she was 15, he would regularly, she said, you don't know how many times my dad, if he was at a restaurant and he took a bite of some food, he'd say, Magamoo. Cusco. That was like the line he'd always go to. It's so iconic. He won, he played it for such a ridiculous character. A character that's literally, his only character trait is he's evil. And so it's so old school in that way, right? It's like, yes. Because characters nowadays, villains have such, usually there should be rounded and they have so many complexity and stuff like that. Makes them human. But old school, like in Flash Gordon, right? And the Bond films. They're only character trait is that, and they're just everyone to balance. Yes. And so the fact that it's so ridiculous, but he played it so magnificently, how much poor he has such a presence about him. He plays a villain so, so well. And the fact that it was so set up, like he had this layer, it was almost, it's James Bond layer. He had acid right in front of him. And his henchmen were like, yeah, we'll jump in it for you. I loved it. This is amazing. I loved it. Absolutely loved it. He played it so, so well. That's why it was so sad. Like we didn't see him for, I'd say almost an hour in the film. And I'm literally waiting for him in the same way that when I first saw Dark Knight, I'm like, where's Joker? Yeah. Where's Joker? Yeah. Luckily, it was boring at times. It's just, I wanted more of him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In that way, he, I can see why everybody's raved about him in this film in terms of how just the character is just so iconic. And did you, jumping around a little bit, did you get a little uncomfortable again in the music number with all the people in blackface? Cause I did. Yeah. It was really, really hard to sit through. You can't really understand unless you're American, cause that's a very racist part of our history. Right. In terms of blackface and advertising and people dressing up to make fun of black, it's, you can't understand why we feel this way unless you grew up here. You grew up here. And you know why it's so bad to see that. The other thing that was really, it was, it was one of those But it's still a great song. Like, oh, why? It's so great. Yeah. You know the, you know the moments where there's like videos and they say things on it. Like if you laugh at this, you're gonna go to hell. Yeah. Right? I felt that a couple of times in the movie when they full, when grown men with closed fists, as hard as they could, punched children in the face. Oh yeah. That was really- They look like they were trying to kill those kids. It was intense in parts. Hauling off, punching them closed fists in the face, throwing them around. And we're on that right now. And they did it to her too. They punched her closed fists in the face. So I wanna, obviously, I was told this was like, obviously this is a nice Masala film, The Entertainer. But I was just- It's almost like a kid's film, almost. In terms of like how Chitty Shee banged it. Chitty Shee banged it. I thought of Chitty Shee banged it so many times. One in the length and in just the extravaganza of it. And their relationship. Yeah, relationship between her and you. And so I got that vibe a lot. But the, there was moments where it was intense. One, they punched kids and punched women and just bad people. And then honestly, when I was, I don't know if it's saying I was happy, but I was surprised that they killed it. Killed Tina. It was a great sequence, by the way. In the park when they were around. Right? In the suspense that built up to her. Yes. Going to the bomb. The suspense, building it up was great. Yeah. What was ridiculous. The fact that she wasn't blown to smithereens. Yeah. It's a kid's movie. I know. She's right there, she touches it. There's this ginormous explosion. And they're rushing around. There's a couple of abrasions on her cheeks. Even still though, yes. But yeah. It's what I expected from the film. And I wasn't necessarily, I was like, wow. I was surprised. They're gonna kill her? I thought she was like, I was like, this is gonna be ridiculous that she lives being that close to a bomb. Right. But then she actually died. She actually died. And I was like, that's quite surprising. Very surprising. Very surprising. And so kudos to, even though I did have issues with the length and I wish it was probably structured differently to bring more of the Magumbo element into it. Right. There's a lot of it. I was thoroughly entertained most of the time. Me too. Yeah, none of it. I could have cut probably 30 minutes out to make it a little snappier, crisper. The only problem with the film is that because like I said, Anil Kapoor is really good in everything he's doing. Sridevi is really good in everything that she did. And we've already said, this is for me like Amrish Puri's performance in this is as even bigger stealing of the show than say Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder where there's just one character or Heath in Dark Knight. But it's different because Heath's turn was like thespianatic art. Whereas this was just, and very few people could pull off. I would, it's one of those roles where nobody else could do this but him. Yeah. Let's talk about Anil Kapoor. I thought he did a really good job. One, he was pretty grounded for the most part and he was incredibly new at the time. I read in the Bollywood book, they originally wanted Big B. Big B was not sure about the film for obvious reasons. Yeah, obvious reasons, but also he's like for not being seen on screen like enough because invisibility. Yeah, yeah. Really? Yes, that's what the Bollywood book said. Wow. So that's interesting. But they wanted him because he has an iconic voice and so that he was big B. But I thought, didn't you think it was interesting that whenever Anil Kapoor went invisible he suddenly had a reverb unit for his voice? Yes. Suddenly his voice had this massive reverb. I thought he brought a softness almost, which is so unique because this is our first classic with Sridevi and Anil in terms of seeing them in their heydays. Because we only know him basically slumdog age and on. And in the slumdog age and on he's typically played very strong men. Yes. Men who have an edge and who have a power about them. And I was surprised to see him portray and like the fact that he portrayed a very compassionate, soft, loving kind of man. He had a very youthfulness about him. Yeah. I thought he did a great job. I thought he had great chemistry with the kids. I thought he had great chemistry with Sridevi as well. Yeah. And so I really like how that character was written and how his performance in it makes me really excited to see more Anil in his heyday, which obviously we need to. When you see more of everybody in their heyday, not only Sridevi. Obviously we love Sridevi. This is our first classic Sridevi film. And I know this she has like some that are more thespianatic asks. And we know she can do everything. But this shows, cause we've only seen her older. We saw her two last films, English for English and mom. She plays very different. She's much more matronly and all that. Now she's a younger, extremely sexy, but also extremely quirky. Kind of almost, she reminds me of like a Zoey Deschanel. She has a lot of great comparison. A lot of quirkiness. Very quirky. If you were casting this film as an American film you made today, that's exactly who I'd cast. Yeah, Zoey Deschanel. Yeah, that's exactly who I would cast. I thought she did a great job in all of it, but like the Charlie Chaplin scene? That's just good. It was one, a well shot scene in terms of making it like a Chaplin film kind of inspired by ridiculousness. I thought she did a really good impression of what's this thing about Charlie Chaplin. No, it was like that character. Oh, the tramp. The tramp. That's what I was trying to do. Yeah, she did a very good impression. It was very clear. She had studied the tramp and she did some things that were very clearly improvisational on her part. And I thought there were some, like most things that you get from these kind of films like Flash. You get this mixture of special effects where you go, dang, that was actually really good. And some other ones you're like, oh, that's so bad. It's good. And some of the times when they went in between the red, it was actually really, really good. Really, actually quite good. For the time, and then the other parts were here. That guy's just gone string. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like the one moment where he had them and he's held them up, you could see the harnesses and the jeans holding it up. And you know, it's like in Willy Wonka when they're going to the top of a fizzy lifting drink. Watch me do a spin. Okay, and we'll watch the cables on your side on your clothes. It's fun. It's an endearing film. Cause that's what the film is. The film was meant to be a fun entertainer for everyone. Even though on the subtitles that we had, they like, I couldn't tell what curse word they were saying. Cause they wouldn't give us the curse word. They gave it like the star, star, star, star, star. What? Guys, give me the curse word. He said it. I wanna know what it is. Was it Chutia? Magumbo. Chutia. Oh, I just loved it so much. But yeah, so I just had, I had a great time. All the song, even though like we're in come to Hawaii for the black, it's a fantastic song. The chaplain was a great song. Some of the songs that the kids, I thought all the kids were actually really, really good. Kids weren't bad at all. It's just the way things were written that prolonged that story. Prolonged that part of it. And then obviously the real, real sexy song with Shredevi was, I was not expecting it. No, what I wasn't expecting, I was expecting that like we've said forever. If two people fall in love with each other rather than have a sex scene, they're gonna have a song scene. Yes. And that's gonna be the consummation of the relationship. Yes. Here's what I wasn't expecting. I wasn't expecting that and I wasn't expecting to see like the invisibility of impressing up on her lips and on her breasts. Yes. And it's interesting because for me, I was telling this to Andrani. I was like, Shredevi and it's just- She probably watched this when she was a kid. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Back when she was little. But for me, Shredevi is very, I absolutely see her as very, very pretty. If someone said she was very, very sexy to them, I would say I understand. But she's not, there's not a sex appeal for me with her particularly. Like there's just some actresses. And there's the Cupidall aspect to her that looks Disney character-ish, that is extremely beautiful. She does convey believable sexuality and sensuality, but it would be very different if there were other actresses that were in that role where I would feel a heightened level. For me personally, I hope that makes sense. It's just me as an audience member letting you know that scene, I could tell it was very sexual, but for me personally, it wasn't getting me like, like Priyanka and when she does Ramleela, there's a sensuality with that that is more drawing to me than taking nothing away from Sri Debby. That was also 25 years after this. But even back then, I could find people who were more, like we're talking about like in the 1980s, that's when Ghostbusters came out and that was Sigourney Weaver. Yeah. Well, this is a different country. I know. And I'm not saying one's good or bad. I'm just saying my particular take on that scene, I wasn't as invested in it as I would have been. No, I liked, I thought it was good. And it's not that I disliked it. I just wasn't as invested. What did you think about her, the boss? He reminded me of Vijay Raaz. I was 100% thinking, are they related? Yeah. On a talk similar, they look similar. Look similar. I didn't know. I couldn't stop thinking about Vijay Raaz whenever he was on screen. I don't know who, is it Mr. Gaitande? Yeah, it is. Anu Kapoor. It's Gaitande. So it looks like he stopped, I don't know if he's, he did some recent stuff as recent as at least 2017. I can't imagine that Vijay Raaz didn't love that role and would love to play that role. Oh, he would play it. Perfectly, perfect. I thought it was a really fun, interesting character to tag along the whole thing. But yeah. Overall, that calendar was an interesting character. Yeah, to have it with the nice buddy that you have. I also, it wasn't very believable, but I was okay with her not liking kids. And then when they were hungry, that's what gets her compassion. And that was the chitty-chitty bang-bang aspect of it. And again, really the only complaint I have, it's a big one, was I would have appreciated this a lot more if it had not just been dragged out in the slow parts. And I absolutely believe, in recommending Indian cinema to people, this would be one where I would say it, once they've watched quite a few Indian films, say, okay, so now you gotta watch these films. Just like stupid babies have done with us, they've gotten us into Di-D-D-L-J and fillin' the blanks. This is one of those that's like, if you wanna appreciate Indian cinema, you have to see Mr. India. First of all, for its originality, Sridevi, the introduction of Anil Kapoor, and above all, Amrish Puri. I think most could probably appreciate it, as long as you tell them, because it's a little slow in parts. It's gonna be, if I had known it was gonna, if I had known this is gonna feel like a long drag, that would have helped me. Yeah, yeah. But anyways, let us know what the next, not only Sridevi, Anil Kapoor, and Amrish Puri films, classics, because we wanna get to classics of all of them, that we should watch next, and... Magambo, Chutya! Ha, ha, ha!
