I know we can't do that. It's like two thousand. I don't want to do that either They're not all good. That's true Just like not all stuff in Hollywood is good. That's true. Actually a lot of stuff is terrible here. It's true. Anyways, but today we're Reviewing the Hindi film Kapoor and Sons They believe it's a 2016 film. It's a It says comedy drama romance. I think it's a family drama romance dramedy Probably yeah, it fits that with it definitely emphasis on the family drama. Yeah, obviously Yeah, I think like but I hope but I think but I hope it's going for more humor than I think you're going for this one Yeah, a legit drama. Yeah, but anyways directed by Excuse me. I'm still clearing my throat directed by Shikun Bhattra who also was the primary writer writer of it. I think he correct my producer as well And we saw this trailer how long ago long time ago you're like 14 months ago probably it was a long time ago. It was it was we might have to go a boy. Yeah, but we were And I have a lot of alia I think most of these are new introductions for except for Rishi Kapoor Well, no, we've never seen a film. Oh, oh, yeah, no, but we've known yeah Yeah, yeah, but I think we might have seen the dad in something But it was like a probably like a background role or if we have seen the other folks besides alia It would be we've forgotten. Yeah reminding us Anyways, just let you know it's 100% spoiler view if you haven't watched it I'm I think a lot of you already have very popular film, but if you don't spoil you don't spoil Go watch it come back. And then you will be spoiled like the naughty little boy or girl that you are Should be a sound effect it's true. I was thinking the exact spoiler Here it comes Anyways, Rick initial thoughts initial thoughts. I have a couple of sentences Mm-hmm a plain and simple movie that's pretty formulaic that I wish had gone backwards I'll explain that in a second and whose cast does the best they can before they're given Yeah, that's my takeaway from and I have particular things to say about alia since we know her the most Yeah, and have been exposed to her But I really felt like it was it was pretty simple There were a couple of surprises But for me that it tied it all up in a bow kind of a thing and what I meant by it going backwards Yeah, I wish we had had I wish the movie had started at the fight scene right when I wish it had started at the family photo If the movie had started right when they're taking the photo and then they get in that big fight And he goes off and gets hit by a truck and he's in the hospital Yeah, I would have been like what the heck is going I did not expect that. Yeah from this trailer. Yeah So yeah, no, I enjoyed it. Well at the first of it it was definitely I First what our something You're like, okay, this is nice. You know, this is like a nice man. It's fine. Yeah, it's fine Nothing nothing nothing bad nothing nothing great But obviously the mean potatoes of it is the last I'd say 30 minutes 30 minutes of a film Definitely it definitely catches you like that part with it's just like thing after thing after thing after thing after thing That's the movie. Yeah, I was like it could have been a short film I mean you could have taken that last 30 minutes. Yeah a little like during that part. It's definitely I It's nice when a film can catch you off-guard It keeps it that's doing it keeps doing it Because obviously you figure out that okay He's gay now right now his mom saying terrible stuff to him and then or right before that you figured out the The dad was over there when they weren't saying the right things to each other at that moment And then you figured out the mom was the one that stole the story and gave it to the other brother great twist And then to top it all off. They just killed the day I was waiting for Rishi Kapoor's character to be the one to die right you thought that was gonna be so I Obviously the the beginning which I don't want to say it was boring, but it was just it was like, okay This is I agree. It was fine. Yeah, and that's what I meant by the actors did the best with what they had I felt like everybody was believable. It was definitely more not plot-driven. It was the Relationship driven for sure. Completely. There wasn't obviously a lot of plot going on none out And so and that was probably to the point. It was this is this family's drama right poor and his son's Drama and they have a ton of it My favorite thing about the film. Yeah is both the character and the portrayal by Rishi Kapoor He did phenomenal. We'll talk about that. That's that's my absolute favorite part of film If someone said to me hey, I want to watch this would you watch it with me? The only reason I want to rewatch it is so that could enjoy watching that character in his portray Oh, I wouldn't say that I was not that I disliked the rest but the rest of it was kind of like this is one Okay, I could take it like this is one. I like you could sit and have on just to have on like if it's on TV I'd probably stop and be like, okay if there was nothing else on yeah, no It's not I'm not saying I'm gonna go out of my way, but if it's on I'm like, oh, but like what I was thinking of when I was watching it cuz It falls for me in the same genre category, I guess it's like Deborah Yeah, but I'm I would much if those two were on I'd be in a heartbeat. I'd be watching Deborah And it depends on what point of the movie it is. I guess yeah No for me. I would and then then there's I mean if English vanguishes on yeah, forget it So but yeah, so like I I thoroughly enjoyed the film I'm not it's not like obviously the best movie ever for sure. Oh my but I don't it's not gonna It's I wasn't trying to be no, this is definitely a set out It was this is a family drama and it let you know that at the beginning just like the guy. Oh man the way Indian families argue and communicate. Yeah, it's just sometimes it's it's like it cuz it's so different and here Here's the I will here's the Accolade I would give it as far as I believe there is absolutely I don't believe I know you'll agree There is an audience who there are many people I wish the whole world loved cinema that were cinephiles and loved the art form Sadly, there are people who just don't they will never care enough to want to know all the Dimensions of the art form and the higher-level artistry of it and they just like to see a movie every now and then That is the audience that I think would most appreciate this film as an audience that doesn't necessarily want to see something That's gonna be artistically driven and have a great message They're just gonna enjoy themselves see some believable characters enjoy some twists and walk out with a smile. Yeah. Yeah, well Yeah, that's that's what I I went into this expecting and that's basically what I got Yeah, was the fact that I knew was gonna be a pope. I didn't know it's gonna be like that simple of a just that Me too. There's the relationship between them. Yeah, but that's basically what I was going and expecting Okay, it's gonna be a family drama But then it turned into a really enjoyable film. It's obviously the end. I was glued to the screen I wanted that very dear and basically that point. Oh me and my wife both watched it Like when we got a gas when the truck hit him. Me too. We did too because I was like, oh shit I totally didn't see that coming. You just did that. Yeah So that I literally I was sitting there was kind of I was kind of bored although I love the fight I'm like, okay, we're starting to get into some nitty-gritty. We're getting to the end here And I'm watching him and the thing hits him and I went Okay And obviously we kind of gasped as well when you found out the mom was the one that stole the novel Yeah, because obviously not the parents of the year for sure these two no these two parents Like they're they're basically the problem. Yeah, this entire family with the free the grandfather's great the kids They're fine, you know, he that's that's that's the way when you're he's supposed to be 90 You that is exactly how I want to be when I'm 90. I want to be like that guy Yeah, these but the two parents are the ones with all the issues. Yeah, because obviously he's the one having the affairs She's the one that took the novel from them. They have clearly have a favorite child, which is terrible and the only other And then obviously the mom was like all saying terrible things when he came out as being gay And so it's like the out the parents actually the actors who did him phenomenal job. I thought I totally believed him I felt like they're just assholes. Yeah, I felt everybody was solid. Yeah Rishi Kapoor for me was the same. Yeah, we can talk about Rishi. Let's talk about Rishi This is our first introduction to his acting in a film and now we know it's actually one of his later Yeah roles and not though stuff. He's famous for and back in the day I thought he did phenomenal. I did too. I loved his character and while the makeup wasn't You know, Oscar level believability. No, it wasn't it was still solid enough that it didn't distract me Yeah, his performance definitely made up for it And the thing I love like most good actors in situations like this is they're not playing the makeup Yeah, they've already they've created a character that you would have seen whether or not you had the makeup there but it does help because He was he was supposed to be playing a 90 year old man. They had to do make a bottom I couldn't even think of anybody unless they got an actual 90 year old person But why wouldn't you get Rishi Kapoor if you could do that but make a bomb? Yeah, and I just I thought he was the life my favorite character as far as the writing of it Mm-hmm as well as the way he portrayed him I loved his little message to the boys at the end that they watched and I just I thought he was Great great really really good the entire film obviously you always just rooting for this old perv He was hilarious. He's like I totally a hundred percent believed him. Yes. I'm use he was cool You always want to have a grandpa like that. Yeah, you do my grandma is like that Yeah, my grandma Betty Boop isn't going to is that her actual name or do you just call it no We call her that because since she was a little girl Betty Boop has been her favorite cartoon character So her nicknames been Betty Boop her real name is Eleanor, but she goes by Betty Boop. She's 92. She is fiery She's feisty. She does stuff on her own She if she has to go up the stairs She's got her little thing that she sits in and it takes her up the stairs We've joked about when she hit 90 when we would just push her off a thing and we were laughed We were joking one day about her dying and she was sitting there listening to us laugh and we're joking for like 10 minutes But she's just sitting there at one point. She says go ahead and laugh I'll haunt Yeah, so Rishi was obviously he was phenomenal Before we move on just let us know what his next thing that we should watch our pants I want to watch especially that the end little Skype thing. He did. I thought he was flawless in it He was and you knew you thought the entire time obviously they were never actually gonna get their picture You knew that yeah That was one of the things you knew but you thought that you were Rishi was gonna be the one who dies Right is the picture, which is wonderful that they didn't go that direction. They surprised you as the audience And it was the freaking dad who got hit by a truck, right? Yeah, which was once again phenomenal loved it. I Thought Alia did a good job. Obviously you could see her growth definitely from this to Yeah, even gully boy and obviously with gully boy. She had a lot more to work with She gave her her great. She always reminds me of a more fiery Emma Stone Usually always who interesting. I think well, they would play comfortable roles. Yeah, absolutely But you know, I've the utmost respect for Emma Stone. I think she's one of the phenomenal She's still in the firing us and Birdman and in She adds a little bit. Yeah Zombie land. Yeah, she was on the more for sure in the one scene She's got with Michael Keaton where they're fighting is she has that quirkiness that you love about her And so in this role, I thought she did as well as she could have yeah, it was it wasn't a very Her character was interesting but there really wasn't enough written into it and I was watching her really closely on her story about her parents and You can what again? It's a diamond in the rough in this what I what I could see was what we know about her her inclinations Her natural instincts that come from a love of wanting to do movies since she was a little girl. Mm-hmm And it just it shows she's very natural and comfortable on camera But there was stuff that was very obvious that she's very green She's still had a long way to go Nothing remotely close to what we saw in how much we enjoyed her in in rosy You know that that was far more nuanced And she's she's she's she's she's also a supporting character. She has yet to do her best work Yeah, I mean we're gonna see the best of her stuff in the years to come. Absolutely. Yeah The two brothers I thought did well. I they were probably the weakest of the bunch in my opinion, but they didn't want bad They were believable But they they were just they would probably the weakest of both. I also don't know them as well So I this is the first I'm ever hearing or seeing of both of them unless they've been in some trade Yeah, I just don't know. Yeah, I just don't know but yeah, I thought they were fine But the two parents I thought did really really well. They did offer being asshole parents. I Love I love I love the stories that they gave them though because it was a very complicated Situation you can say towards because you were trying to figure okay, okay Who he invited her one which was stupid? Because apparently obviously the family knows that she had an affair right or he had an affair and then she brought him and then The wife just Lee is very upset by that and then he says some dumb ass shit But that makes for a great family drama, you know, so you gotta It's one of those things especially towards the the last 30 minutes You're basically glued to figure out like all the terrible things these two parents have done Yeah, like if they like I think this family probably wouldn't have any issues if these two parents were not who they were Well, the only the only issue they would have is the fear the son has of letting them all know that he's gay That's that's the issue that have which you know would not the way you're supposed to react when your son says he's gay No, or the brother. He's like I'm gay. He's like I don't know what to say. Yeah, I was Yeah, you start by telling him you love him so that you can let him off the hook of his Fear that you're gonna judge him his his being mad at his brother for kissing alia I think the dumbest thing one so dumb y'all weren't dating at the time you didn't even know each other like this sincerely Like three even did that when you did find out you've been dating like a day And that was where I the just the writing of it was just It was it was somewhat formulaic and it was it really wasn't Mature in its growth that the bottom line for me is if you're a cinnamon lover and you're a film lover This isn't your cup of tea if you like having a movie that you're gonna watch and pop some popcorn and You don't mind formulaic movies like the group. I was saying earlier you would you enjoy it But I didn't think of a hundred films. I would watch again Like hella row I just watched that one a second time. You're not gonna compare this to hella room There's it like I said, there's a hundred films. I would watch again Before I would watch this we watch hella room before this I think we set up Rick with some unrealistic expectations. No, no, no, no, no, no, no do not make the mistake of Thinking that I'm trying to make a comparison between this and yeah, just did Rick their motion pictures So they have a similarity in the fact that they both were made to go on to a screen You can they're both movies. That's like comparing Avengers to Birdman. They're both movies You can't compare them. I can if I want to they're both movies. No, I'm not. They're both movies. Anyways, that's the review Although I will say I was grateful that the guitar playing looked real It might have been I don't know all that matters is it was believable when did you play guitar? Can you remember when they were all sitting around? At the house. They were all kind of like hanging out and playing together. Oh, they decided to sing a song together Yeah, it was playing the guitar. That's right. Oh, also the music was good It was it was a party number was fun when he just gets to the party with alia and they have the bathroom scene That was fun a lot of joint smoking in this but duh. Whoo. Get some joints Rick. You're old your joints are bad. Oh people
