 So your mom, it's a white tiger. Oh You're a stupid or X-T and it's a Corbin. I'm Rick and you false. It's a good I'm Twitter off more juicy content. I think some people falling for the Kevin Wilson and kids quite There's a tiger in there. Get your nipples out of the shot There's there's no nipple but through the cat scratch like three dimension monetize There's a tiger behind the scratch is scratching his way out. There you go So if you have a guess by now, we're doing a movie review done done done done done Of the newly released, I guess Netflix film the white tiger directed by Ramen Barani, but he was one of the writers and one of the writers obviously starring and produced by Parenko Chopra Raskamarao, but actually the star is Adarsh Gaurav. That's him, right? The actual the white tiger. Yeah, the white tiger. Yep Use my name is Khan. I believe he was the kid. Oh, was he in my name is Khan I believe he was the kid in my name is Khan and he's also in the Shredavi movie. We haven't seen yet mom. Oh He is with no idea. Oh, it's okay. But yeah, any he was the kid in my life is my name is so yeah Just just released. It's not actually an Indian film Technically technically. Yeah, it was made by an American in Hollywood just produced and has quite a few actual Indians in it Which is great. It was it's a blending of of almost the two worlds. It felt like an Indian film to me Yeah, yeah, so we'll give you a little non-spoiler review and then we'll get into just it's very brief That's not how we like to do things, but since it's new a lot of people haven't seen it We'll give you a little non-spoiler and then we'll get into the spoiler stuff So this is the non-spoiler version Rick your initial non-spoiler the initial non-spoiler Review I really liked this. I think this is the anti slum dog Love him. Yes have a lot to say about I think him carrying the weight of this thing I think he is a star in the making absolutely in terms of Interpreter whether he wants to do Hollywood or or continue in Indian cinema or both. Yep, it's great But yeah, he drove this film one hundred percent road was so good so good I love watching him The more he was on screen the more I like watching him and yet quite an arc as a character Sure did and what a story for that character. I mean that this is this is if you like stories that are Centered on a single character and you watch this character's trajectory In the same way and a lot of other films This isn't a spoiler but for example Godfather is really Michael Corleone centric There will be blood as Daniel Plainview centric Yeah, this film it's called the white tiger and it's not spoiling anything that there's a connection between that name and this lead character Everything is from the storytelling point of this main person that you watch on this trajectory. It's not really a pranaka film It's not really rock tomorrow. No, they're supporting. They're very small supporting not not incredibly small But they're small supporting roles. He is the star Yeah, and he is what kind of drives this film along. So yeah, I I would recommend it I think it's a good watch. Absolutely. You would obviously as well, right? I think you should want Absolutely support this watch it. I've already recommended it to somebody who watched it in India and loved it I would recommend this I think it has a broad audience in terms of international cinema as well Yeah, I think it's absolutely worth a watch and I think one of my favorite things about it again We're in the non-spoiler section is that I call it the anti slum dog for this reason at the outset There are some things that are depicted that actually I didn't like and thought oh, where are we going? And I thought no way Priyanka is producing this and it's gonna go this direction Yeah, and I think that was on purpose Yeah, I think we were given some things that were projecting the stereotypes intentionally and then even made reference just long time later even did yeah, and then we really get into some of the more Granted if anybody had a problem with this I think what they might have thought was they wanted to be more no-holds barred the way on your odd would be I Think that would be the biggest problem someone might have with the power of my issue. Okay. Yeah, like I have a few issues But overall I'm much more positive than anything negative I enjoyed it if it was on like Alexis isn't gonna come and spend the night and have buddy time with me Right if she said I want to watch quite I would absolutely turn that right back on and enjoy every minute of it especially for him now Roshan Rao. Yeah, what do you expect? Yeah solid. Yeah Priyanka Solid. Yeah, always. I mean they're just always good. They weren't the stars. No, this is his film Yeah, if you're gonna watch this film you're watching it really for him And I would I would say as much as I like the story we'll get into the spoiler stuff The preeminent reason to watch this is you're you're gonna see a young actor I haven't had this kind of a reaction to a young actor since Alia and gully boy I don't know how young he is. I don't know either, but I mean career-wise. He only has 11 films Resume for sure, but there's there is a caliber to his capacity That I think is what you said at the outset I think this young man is an absolute Superstar in the making and most especially in regard to his capacity as an actor. This is an actor. He's 26 Yeah, this guy is a this guy is an actor. Yeah, he is he did he did a really really good job Yeah, that's the first thing I when we finished I turned to my wife and I said he's really good Yep, I like him a lot like him a lot. So yeah, definitely go watch it if you haven't watched it already And let us so stop now. Yeah, I'm gonna get to this boy now. We're getting into spoilers So if you want to watch it go watch it's already on Netflix It's free and it's trending really well. Is it internationally? Yeah, Priyanka just tweeted about it It's like trending either one or two in India number seven in the UK number six in the United States So I'm hoping I'm hoping this kind of opens the gate for more of the cross like Collaborations between Hollywood and India. Yeah, I would have I would have loved for like a Indian director even though I know he's descendant of sure. I believe he's a descendant of Indian, right? I would imagine so I think I could be wrong But yeah, I want I want more of that me too. I'm hoping this is kind of opening the floodgates me to for something like that And we've started to get that extraction was a little bit of it very little of Our arm in Pankaj, but they have that other actor who was more prominent in it Yeah, there's there's a trend not to get too much on a bunny trail But there's a beautiful trend that's happening one is because of what happened with parasite But secondarily people in the United States when I say people I mean people in the industry movers and shakers who pay attention to money and pay attention to film and studio Have been talking for the better part of a year about OTT and India and what a spectacular burgeoning explosive market this is and it is Boating really well. I really feel like this is the next great pioneering landscape for cinema is the international community Celebrating each other and not thinking about each other is these far distant lands that maybe I'll see one of their films Once a year, but that we watch like on Friday You're watching dark in Germany and the next day you're watching the platform from Spain, you know, so absolutely Here come the spoilers for you. If you haven't watched it already, please go away Yeah, so I had a kind of few issues with it, but the the main I Just I kind of felt at the end. I wanted more I think that was my biggest gripe is that it won it in it very abruptly for me I felt like the whole story. Okay, and then done. Okay, this entrepreneur now Blah blah blah blah blah this could have been this this could be a series. Yeah, this could be yeah I think it was just I don't know. It was just my taste. It's just I want them to go deeper and more raw And sometimes and sometimes they did but not always But yeah, it's not a it's not a huge issue. I'd give this film more of a B-minus David a B-plus. Yeah, than anything. Yeah, so it's not like I didn't like it. It's just those are my I I always look for what I I think could make a film from being good to absolutely great. Absolutely agree That's it's this isn't something that I would put into the conversation for awards categories It wouldn't he may rise me. Yeah, maybe it won't surprise me if he gets some awards for this Absolutely, that won't surprise me and not every film needs to be in the awards conversation I there's a lot of films that are on my all-time favorite list that were never nominated for a thing. Yeah, they're great movies. Yeah, and I I Was waiting for it to happen and it did Right at the midpoint literally like it one hour. I got a call from Andrani She I called her I will woke her up and she said how's the movie and I said it's very good. I Think it's about to turn the corner and become really good Feel it right now and it did. I don't remember the exact moment. It happened, but it's it's around the time It's just after the hitting of a car I think it really started to turn the page when he started to realize The way he was treated was not okay Yeah, and it was just before that moment when he walked into the room and they're being really nice to him And they want him to sign the paper which I thought he he had some beautiful moments He doesn't have a false moment. No, he was never never close when when he has to read the thing and he's reading it And he says I'm and it says his name take full responsibility for the yeah And he's realizing what they're doing to him. Yeah, and at that point I think for him Was the fulcrum point that started to take him in that I love that other moment when he's looking at rush come Around he says sorry I have to confess something. There's a hole. What is it? Want to go see your family? I want to take a stone and bash your head in. Oh Here well, let me give you some money for your trip. Yeah, it was being Dead serious. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I want to bash your head. Yeah Yeah, I thought he had a lot of really great moments Hey, and did you know I actually saw an interview with Priyanka on Stephen Colbert just the other night about this from promoting this film and The director apparently doesn't say action like Clint Eastwood. He also doesn't say cut. That's Clint Eastwood So yeah, and which is a trend. I've actually been on sets where they'll say when you're ready when you're ready Which is what apparently he said, but I've never been on one that doesn't say cut though That's that's a little weird. It is a little weird cuz I didn't let everybody know you know sound apparently He would just like you you keep going and and improvising until he's ready But he would just come up and walk up next to you. I guess that's the signal for everybody But apparently he Really loved that. He thought it was a very Freeing invigorating. I'm sure it is kind of thing and it shows Priyanka Apparently she said it, you know, I've done like 50-something films And so it was a little hard to get out of the I'm used to action and cut Yeah, yeah, and so there's a whole thing But apparently he really loved that at free-ness of it so he could improvise and keep going Another one of my issues some of the dialogue especially between the rich people Was a little I don't know. It seemed a little cheesy at times Hmm, but just between that family like the rich family, right? And I don't know if it's because they were speaking English And that's what I am glad that that's what they did because I was opposed to slumdog where everybody was basically speaking English Right and some of the British accent the rich people were the ones speaking English Which makes sense is how that happens the people in more of the rural Villages were speaking their native languages, which was great And I thought it was another great moment when they were traveling there and kind of something I wouldn't have actually caught and rise Raj Kumar kind of brought it up And then there was this the whole teaching them of that Raj Kumar and Priyanka were doing I think they were trying to do almost an American ish very much I mean her character, you know style born in India, but lived there since she was 12 Yeah, I felt like Priyanka might very well be just as much herself in this role. Yeah She's anything she's ever done. I think this is pretty much Pretty much her as her as you get. Yeah, absolutely with the way, you know, the people were treating him and that is a great compliment that that's If you've been around the channel a long enough time, you know that I think that Priyanka is Probably one of the more underrated actresses around and I think that she has the potential to be the first Indian actress to win an Oscar For supporting or or lead There's a whole handful Another moment I loved and this is where it when I started to go off the rails a little bit I love it when he's in the place where he sees the guy taking a dump And these just they're laughing at each other in a weird twisted laugh, yeah But I think my favorite thing is obviously the message I felt like Again, it didn't go on your acacia. Mm-hmm raw. Yeah, but it didn't Blush over some of the things where I don't know how many times he's like we're not a democracy the reality of Well the carrot this character arc I love how he goes from being in this rural village that he We're loves and respects his dad and then he sees like the dawn come in who slaps his dad and treats his dad like crap He's like wow, what's that guy have almost Mirza per kind of level, right? And then man if I could just be a servant in his house, okay now I'm a servant if I could just be his driver Now I'm his driver Wow if I could just be treated like family Wow if I could just stop being treated like crap Yeah, if I could and The fact that he justifies that maniacal laugh Combined of I can't believe I just killed somebody to I just killed him You know yeah that blend of I can't believe what I just did in the negative and I can't believe what I just did in the positive Yeah, and how he justifies Who he becomes Based on the fact that he got to achieve what he did Despite the man. Yeah, but he has become the man and I actually love that ending frame Well, I like the ending because the ending frame he walks away, and there are all the other white tigers right behind them It's survival of a frickin fittest. Yeah. Yeah in the whole message. Yeah, that's why I lean more toward the B plus Yeah, he said multiple times. He's like it's America's a white people's their time is done essentially, right? It's not time for the brown and brown. Oh, man Yeah, which I thought was hilarious and an accurate Stupid white people, right? Exactly Especially the white man. Yeah, why asters straight. Yeah heterosexual heterosexual men gross. We're awful But anyways, yeah, I came away with this with a lot more positives their stuff I would have probably changed if I was directing mm-hmm, but I there was definitely it was Way better than extraction, which I think was the one of the first agreed first things that came out in terms of Blending outside of slumdog. Yeah of the two But I think that also comes with prank of being at the helm and yeah, it felt like a nice Blend between a Western film and an Indian film Yeah, and I felt that that was the broader audience because on your I wouldn't get a broader audience If he would actually get some people to not see it So I think I don't I don't think they pulled away from things with a sense of fear I really think that Priyanka and this director would just I think I'm like I would have a broad audience It would just be a different broad audience in this one. Yeah agreed It would be a different he would he would go for the juggler in terms of every single thing He's talking about whereas this I think this could Irritate people sensibilities Mm-hmm just enough to keep them watching whereas on your I would get people some of them would turn away. Yeah, I love it Yeah, I do too Which is the difference between probably an award level kind of film versus one that is still a really good film most especially Yeah What is his name? Forgive me if I'm mispronouncing your name, but yeah, he's a really wonderful this he's a star in the making Yeah, it was almost two characters from the beginning and the end where he kind of ended up, which was great So let us know more from him Obviously, we know Rajkumar Rao and Priyanka Chopra, but they just will watch it a lot more of them I feel bad just to say they're phoning it in they weren't phoning it in they're just that good Yeah, they're just always good But let us know what you thought of about this film down below
