They can say patreon follow switch the trigger counts like button if you're unaware in the hillbilly community quote-unquote incest is common hence the funniness of the joke and Today we're doing a movie review Of the new film that was just released on released on Z5 global or whatever they call themselves They call it Z5 in your face Hadi yeah starring our Dosti of Dosts two Dosti of Dosts Noah Zadenzadiki and Anirag Kashi up and directed by Akshat Ajay Sharma, which we've seen a few of his things. I think he was a have yes He was actually the other director on sacred games. Oh Yeah, okay, and I think there's this isn't this the first feature film. No, he's directed It's he's done a lot of shorts, but it's not the first to Drey, but it's one. It's not it's not like he's done I thought this was a Debuted directoral helm. I don't love because let's see how D short short short short a second unit Obviously, he's worked with Anirag a lot director assistant director assistant director Director singing one two three. I don't know what that is neither do I he is the director of that one But yeah, it's it's pretty early if it's not number one It's number two according to the IMDB credit by himself, right? But he was the other it was a well It says he was a second unit director. You know because that was dual directed by Anirag in yeah But that makes him a second AD. Yeah regardless He's the director obviously Akshay Ajash Sharma and we're sorry and he was one of the director one of the writers as well along with Adamiya Bala Adi Mabala composed by Rohan Rohan Rohan Rohan Rohan. Is that a typo or is that his name, right? And then starring a quite a few other people some that I actually recognize But your your main two stars are gonna be noise and insidiki and Anirag Kashyapu just hates acting I know just does it But I mean But it just that role yeah working with Nawaz. Yeah hard to say no to that But it just came out so we're gonna do Non-spoilers yeah right off the bat and if we want to get into the spoils We will tell you before we get to the spoils so you can go check it out It's obviously already on unlike other reviews and critics who think they're storytellers We let the movies tell the story Annoying in reviews when I see people like okay, so this is what have like start off their review every review I ever read so it gives you a synopsis of the film beforehand. Thanks, so it starts off idiots That's not your job man. Just tell me what you thought of the movie It never ceases to bugle the month regardless who you liked or didn't like it just don't do that. Yeah Regardless, but yeah, it's going to start off non-spoiler So if you'd like to go watch it you can go watch it on z5 global or whatever their name is Rick your initial thoughts of honey initial thoughts a couple of Very tiny things in it that I had a question mark about that I can't talk about till we get into the spoilers And I mean they're really tiny I Enjoyed this film immensely It taught me some things it talks about some things that Really need to be talked about It's a it's really well done you need to Take very close attention because there's so much going on with so many people that you could I think you could lose sight of it If you're not paying attention, I don't know how you wouldn't want to pay attention because I think you stay gripped into the story most especially because Once again No, was it in Siddique he proves that he's Adjust a beautiful actor and I when we start talking more about him I'm there's some things I want to say about no was that I think is one of the more underappreciated things about his greatness As an actor and he's one of those actors that when I say someone's a beautiful actor It means they're the kind of actor that deserves the accolades that are the highest accolades for being brave I I found his portrayal to be Extraordinarily brave not just because of who the character is but because of who no was it and had to be to portray this believably so for me the takeaway is you're gonna watch a Just a thespianatic powerhouse in his performance and you're gonna enjoy what I think is a really well-made movie Yeah, I I liked it. I didn't love it, which I wanted to love it. Yeah, and I think a lot of it has to do with some of the What I would describe is All over the place stylistic choices throughout the film that sometimes felt either Flat at times not in the performances and I will get into the nois and on your Akashiyab's performance In this which I believe were my favorite standouts of this movie and there were other stuff I really enjoyed as well. It's just in terms of there were And I can't get into all of it right now because obviously spoils, but there's some stylistic choice that kind of Took me out of it at certain times, and I was like I didn't I didn't love certain things That they decided to do with it stylistically okay in terms of some music some editing choices some would like Not continuity, but like continuity in the style of the filmmaking or the style of the editing Interesting, and you know what I think this is probably gonna be a common Theme factor for a lot of people. I absolutely understand why you're saying that and Because there were other things in this thing that were new to me. Yeah It I was in the right frame of mind. There'd be days. I would have had the exact same thought But for whatever reason I was in the frame of mind to go, okay This is as different as the subject matter, and I'm just gonna let this be whatever it wants to be talk about And not and it's not that one of the real issues I had it, but it'll be interesting to talk about the ending Yeah, I had a one problem Because it's it's a it's interesting what they did with it. Yeah, and I'd like to talk about it But let's start with our this is this is the conversation first dose. No, I said in Sadiki What you expect to know us to give you he's gonna give you mm-hmm He is one of the greatest actors in the world for a reason. Yep, and I think he could Like he could take even a bad script and probably make it really he just might good Well, he yeah, like he's he's like the Tom Hardy's of the world. Mm-hmm. Yeah He's just that talented. He's so genuine. He's so authentic and every single one of his portrayals you always feel for him there was a there was one of the I'll talk about that later. Um in the spoils. You know, yeah, well, just a little a little bit later in the review But yeah, his his performance in it his chemistry with other actors in it His whole arc as a character Was just wonderful and he just he surrenders himself every single I've never seen him not great words surrender Surrender to yeah, whatever role he's doing now bravely Whether it's the short in less or not man, Bombay talkies or this or Even the cop drama that we saw with Radhika a few years ago. That was a new Netflix film Yeah, obviously gangs and everything else that we've seen but he just It's the reason I love him so much. He's so good Yeah, the thing I want to talk most about the performance is the thing that I've learned over watching the work He's done in different things is everybody appreciates him for as they should I think the majority of people who know who he is and appreciate him enter into that Appreciation with the fact that he can play such a great psychopath and he can really be believable as someone who's criminal, right? magnificent at that The thing up for me the heart of who no was it and Siddiqi is as an actor is Found in his sensitivity. Mm-hmm. Yeah the roles like you mentioned the less story short Really one his portrayal lunch talk. Yeah, Bombay talkies. I'm sorry his his his portrayal in in lunchbox Yeah, mm-hmm, and I put this in the same category of it because just as this is not a spoiler the trailer Yeah, the train the trailer reveals the salmon cup as the reporter the trailer reveals The brutality and the violence of the characters a gangster, right? So that's not a spoiler, but it's also One of my favorite parts early on and that's why he and Cooper were so magnificent was oh, yeah There's a fragility and a sensitivity to his character in sacred games with Cooper's character. Yeah, and in this There's there's so much to talk about and if you've not seen it when you do see it I don't know how you can't help but notice it, but I want you to recognize particularly Things of this character's physicality that are clearly being driven By Nawaz's choice to immerse himself into being Not indicate this is an easy role for an inexperienced actor To make you believe they are the character by showing you something and that's where the majority of actors who aren't trained And don't know what they're doing would fail they would show you the character Every movement every nuance his walk a particular thing he does is is Clearly because of an immersion he did in his prep work and on the day of Being a character at a level of empathy Not just trying to present you something that he hopes you'll like and that's that's the greatest attribute of any Strong actor is that quality and and that that's what you need in Nawaz it in Siddiqui to play this character Yeah, I agree. He's just phenomenal He's just a beautiful actor wonderful that we still have so much of his work to get to that We have yet to get to and obviously he's gonna continue to a lifetime of a lifetime of acting. Yeah, I think He could eat Much else India. I wish the world would know I do too. I do too because he's such a talented actor Yeah, the other actor. I want to talk about is on your Arka shop The dudes a talented actor man. I it's actually Obsceding that he doesn't like to act. It's what he says, right? Yeah, that mean that that is it It is what he says publicly and he's said it to us in private. I like to act I just really don't like to act, but he's just good Actually, he played And I think it's in the trailer it plays the villain I guess per se per se in this and without giving anything away And he does man. He does a good job. Maybe it just comes from his but not all great directors are good actors No, no, I don't think Marty is gonna be a really great actor. No, but it it's not a coincidence That that directors who can act are Very good directors. Yes, cuz they know cuz they they they know and they can get they can speak a language It was something that Valerie said to us you guys wouldn't necessarily know who Valerie is what she's directed my head. Yeah, the header monologue Valerie's a writer director and she's also an actor and because of it She was talking the other day about a particular note She heard someone give as a director and she gave Her version of what the note would be all you need to know is that slight differentiation of what? This was this is what it was you need to know the difference The person trying to get something out of their actor was saying I need you to be more angry It's not a good note to give an actor Oh, thanks She said what she would have told the person in the scene. She would have walked over to them and just said shame her Mm-hmm much better And that there's difference between anger and shame and there's a difference between show me anger verses by saying shame her You gave the actor an intention behind what you're doing not just Show me an emotion. Yeah, showing an emotion is bullshit. Yeah, that's that's not acting. Yeah, that's that's farce It's it's actually having a motivation as to what you're doing and why you're doing it in the moment in the now And that's that's why he's both a good actor and a director is he thinks that way He's absolutely fantastic because I thought he did a very good job. I did too. I have a favorite moment Maybe yours in the spoilers, but I also I can see that bad guys don't get rewarded Yeah, it's a big deal for Danny Treyho. Also. I apologize. I think I just spoiled something. You did you did That's my mistake. I apologize. I was gonna say something. It was the cat was already out of the bag. I my apology That's my that's my mistake But yeah, he does such a good job In this I thought he's he was very good with him and was opposite of each other And also the entire sporting cast I thought did a very good job I thought they did too and I would really like to know this is not a spoiler in any way shape or form because it's in the log Line and it's in the the trailer. I Don't know. I mean some of the actors obviously I can I know from seeing them in prior things I think I know the answer, but I would love to know If there were any transgender or non-binary or as they're called to hydras that were part of the casting I'm not just be interested to know and this will probably be mentioned I don't know if people will say it in the comments, but there'll be people somewhere in the world who mentioned it And I just want to say in advance of it What matters here is if is if the transgender community likes the representation No, I wasn't in Sadiki is not a transgender man. Mm-hmm. That doesn't disqualify him for There are some things that like for example, I'm I feel I'm disqualified. I've said this from playing George Washington I'm not six foot four. I would really need to be six foot seven to be comparable Broadway Yeah, well, that was not the real George Washington. That was emblematic society It was a modernized telling of an actual historical event So if if I was seeing an actual historical biopic of George Washington and someone wanted me I personally could never do that because it's so far a field from who I am But as long as it falls within a Believability factor because that's what it all boils down to is that would I be believable is George Washington? I would not But there are other people I could become that are not necessarily identical to me And that is the nature of what acting is about. It's about being believable characters Especially those that's one of the most beautiful things about acting is being able to step into the shoes of someone Who's very different from yourself? Learning who they are and portraying them in a way that is believable to the people So I'd really like to know if they were incorporated in any way in the telling but more importantly How how they feel they were portrayed in the film? Yeah, I thought it was done extremely well. Yeah, I do too So yeah, you guys can let us know if you know that I Thought a lot of the score was nice I don't know if I loved all of it in terms of if I thought all of it fit Within this film that they made which is one of the issues Um, I had not just with the the score like they would stylistically go total totally different in one scene Then the entire rest of the movie was and I was like that just seems like you wanted to do something cool And I don't know if it fit for me For me, you know what I saw that as and I don't know this is just a guess We would have to talk to the composer and the director Because so much of the film itself is incorporating things that the rest of the world views is different A couple of things that we'll get to in the spoiler I I thought that choice was intentional To keep you in a state of recognizing how different everything is and and getting acclimated to the difference and before we get into spoils in the beginning you might Like almost the first half you might uh, I was like I was like, this is this is nice, but I'm not it. I know I'm really I don't really care about anyone I for me I cared about his character. I didn't until halfway really. Yeah, I cared about it And then I figured out the reason they were doing what they were doing for me. I can't give away yet Yeah, for me at the halfway point It wasn't so much about the caring for him as the main character as much as it was where are we going? Yeah, because it had taken a trajectory I thought was the prime story and then it went somewhere else that I liked. Yeah, but I thought You don't have three hours guys. How are you going to bring these things together? Yeah. Yeah, uh, so yeah, there's there's that and um And then there's just a couple other different things, but we'll get into everything else in the spoils Overall, I think it's an enjoyable film that you you should probably go watch it's just on on z and one last stop before spoils and we can get into this more in spoilers as well, but There's a reason you're going to be watching this on ott sadly This film could never be released theatrically I just the sensor board Either would make it unwatchable because of the cuts they would make to it or there's a that's the reason it's going on the platform sadly so Because it can't get the box office Do yourself a favor and enjoy the blessing you have of being able to watch things that are presented to you In the way the artists wanted them presented also before we get to spoils Um, you will notice that this film didn't probably have the budget. It probably wanted sure CGI forgivable some stunt stuff, yeah, um where you need money to Convey it correctly and and you really anytime there's CGI you're gonna notice there's CGI. Yeah Yeah, it doesn't happen a ton. No, um, but you will notice it every single time There's any kind of CGI anything. Yeah, it's not the best You have ever seen in fact in one scene. It's really bad really bad But uh, actually for that scene, I just I didn't even think they needed I agree. I was like, I think I've done this without that media element of just shoot it a little closer And we don't need to have it. Well, whatever. That was that was their choice But yeah, uh, go watch it if you and if you have seen it now, obviously Yeah, this is spoil time. I'm gonna get just the spoils now so Yeah, the CGI is seeing what we were talking about. Um spoils spoils spoils. This is spoils. Um, is that exactly? I thought a really great scene With uh on your ag and what he was doing. Yeah, and that scene and then there was just awful fire CGI All around him. I'm like, this is just this is more distracting It also was a little distracting in that pivotal moment of the a maa. Yeah a maa I was like, this would have been guys. We don't want to distract from Nawaz's moment here He would have been much better off with no music no CGI behind him and just letting him keep it Keep it like a round shot underneath him and get some trickles of real flame get his emotion Just keep it. We didn't need a faraway shot that pov. It was bad distanced you from his pain. Yeah, it was bad I agree. Uh, and then there was a couple other CGI moments. Um as well But like I thought in this film the first half even though I was like, okay, this is nice But I'm not like I'm not connected to anybody Because they were doing it as you know since you've seen it Non-linear right they were doing and I was wondering I was like, what is the purpose of the non-linear it's happened Yeah, because it wasn't like Christopher Nolan non-linear No, because it's happened before in many films where people it's cool to do non-linear sometimes again I think it goes to we're this is different. Yeah, and so like I'm I think some people use it as a shtick They do until I found out obviously and I liked the kind of reveal of Midway you they showed because I was like, why didn't you put this at the beginning? I would have done much more caring of him if I would have known like this was his process and they right But then obviously you figured out obviously right they killed all the people he loved right And that's why they put in the middle because they wanted that kind of reveal right But that I think that's one of the reasons it kind of almost fell flat in the beginning for me is because I was like Even though I I liked the reveal in the middle and it helped me throughout the rest of the film Get through the rest of the film. Mm-hmm but um sometimes I I don't like non-linear storytelling sometimes because Especially if it's a shtick, which I didn't think this was I never like it if it's a shtick No, I'm like because sometimes it adds nothing right to be non-linear again. It always goes back to why not this one Not this one didn't do that. This one thankfully had a reason why it wanted to do it that you figured out halfway through um, but sometimes it's just like there's literally you're just making it more complicated It added to what I said earlier about you have to really pay attention. Yeah, otherwise you could get lost quick. Um That was uh, super interesting and then like, uh Before we get to the ending what else do you want to talk about this one? Well, I the the couple of things there were some things I didn't I had I didn't know about now Obviously, I know about transgenderism about non-binary people and about the fact that it's all over the world Yeah, there's still a lot to learn about the way they're treated and the way they're accepted We know about list of immunity though in India. It's in a lot of it is but what we've not seen to my knowledge Was the full ceremony he went through which is a legitimate ceremony that it looked up. Yeah, which was actually It's it's it's a ritual called a nirvan. Did they not do that in the Bengali film? If they did I don't remember it taking as long or being as specific and it really wasn't necessarily that was more about Unix and prostitutes. I didn't sense that that was as definitively The hydras hydras which are Recognized third gender. Yeah, so which for I've had these conversations and it's just mind-numbing Um in a couple of things on instagram reels. There's an instagram meal. I'm having this thread of conversation on and it's not a surprise that You can't have a conversation with people who think sex and gender are the same Because even though the american psychiatric society and the predominance of all scientific community today Makes a definitive differentiation between assigned sex of birth which has to do with biology versus Gender which is about societal norms and things of behavior and identification of things that transcend your assigned sex And every time I get into any kind of a discussion if I point out there is a difference between sex and gender The response that I typically get from the other side is Fuck yourself. Yeah at the conversation just ends because it makes them uncomfortable, of course Which I don't understand. Yeah, but Um, I was really intrigued by the representation of this community of the representation of that ritual and that ceremony And it really is something that needs to be talked about and understood and not demonized of the differentiation between assigned sex and and what it means to be You know gender fluid or heaven And it made me so sad in the same way that I had sadness in the 1980s and 90s when there was so much bigotry toward the homosexual community Which is still there I mean, it's just heartbreaking and I thought nois was beautiful in in his depiction of this to Think of what it must be like to be somebody Who's born with an assigned sex? Yet everything else about you Feels the other gender. Yeah Yeah, I can't imagine this so that that for me was what now the thing that bothered me Um Was getting to the end. Yeah the end. Yeah, what what bothered you about the end? Oh, also, did you know there was a bone industry? I've heard black market stuff like that. I knew there was a black market organ industry. I had no clue Yeah, it's pretty it's a billion dollar industry. Yeah the human bone industry and in some states in the united states, it's legal To sell human bones um No, so the ending was interesting because At first Uh, when he when on your ag once again spoilers, you're well in it now Shot him in the back like six times seven whatever whatever whatever well shot him in the leg Shot him in the arm and then shot him in the back. How many times? Yeah. Yeah, and then um You know, he was Which you know, you could survive. I think 50 cent was shot like 15 times in the back. I think You know, he's alive and well So that's not that's not what it was It was the fact that he was like still kind of like moving and getting up and being able to do No, it was the thing that bothered me the most about that which I I thought CGI aside I loved the the the beautiful sadness for The bones Yeah Of him holding the bones of even though every single time there was bones. It was clearly they were like this plastic Yeah, it was but but I in the just story wise for him to be Brought to the place where he's lost everything and now the only person left that he loved and left him The the horror having nothing but their bones in your hands Yeah, but it wasn't so much that he got shot and survived that bothered me Why did on your ag let him live? Why why why didn't he just put a bullet in the back of his head? Um, maybe he thought he he was going to die. That's not for me. That was incongruent with the character I don't know incongruent Um as to why he let him and then not be absolutely certain that his brains are all over the floor I'm wondering and the reason I was And you guys can tell me if you've obviously seen this I think this was almost a because they kept alluding to his Immortality and that that that story of Right, I forget. So I'm assuming he was playing that God kind of like I'm sure we missed that at a Kind of like in rr. They were playing beam and lord rom their symbolism with avatars and stuff that we won't get he was basically Playing a god in this or whatever the the the right whatever that story. She told yeah, um, that i'm not familiar with And so that's why in that's obviously why it went to like a superstar rashnikanth the fight scene there at the end I was like, oh, we've gone to south India So and that's I was like i'm assuming this is why The the end is kind of going this way Is because he is playing And and it kind of almost went almost outside of reality Yeah, I'm and i'm sure there's there's probably a lot of symbolism. We completely missed from the who anurag represented in the way that he kills him Weapons used There's a ton. I'm sure we missed because we're just not indian and it and it definitely that In fight scene definitely Changed the tone stylistically once again. It did it went south India. I was like, okay This is different from what we have been going through Um and it's not bad not in a bad way It's just I was like it wasn't expecting this ending for sure and the way it was being shot Um and it for me it lacked the punch because him still being alive wasn't justified for me Therefore the final climactic fight. I was thinking as I was watching it I would have loved to have seen this if I Think it's because he's immortal and he's playing that that god True then we need to change the moment of Onurag having him underfoot underfoot. Yeah, like something else needed to be done to make that more believable. Yeah Yeah, I don't disagree uh with that and if there's stuff we missed obviously in in that whole sequence. We missed it. Um Please Tell us. I actually thought like um I forget all their names But like his love interest Nawaz's love interest their chemistry was very good. I like very good actor Especially all the close up intimate moments ahead with each other. I was looking in Nawaz's eyes And I believed every feeling he was I believed he loved him And the other thing about Nawaz's performance I read something about what he did to undertake the transformation and he spent a lot of time with the transgender community No surprise and he said that He basically presented this in his mind That he was in his mind. He said I was portraying a woman The totality of what he was doing was my character's a woman because that's what the that's what how he identified as gender Yeah, uh, and then um The other guy that was directly below that was Onurag that Nawaz killed Um in the bathroom or wherever they were I thought he did a good job. I did too. We've seen him do many things Yeah, and um, also this guy we've seen a lot to deepen Yeah, we've seen him a ton ton And he's always always good and then I thought yeah great casting supporting really good casting for everybody I was I was hoping to love it. I think I just I ended up liking it just for for different reasons Most of the some of the film fell flat for me in certain I really enjoyed it approaching love. It was like right at the right there for me. Yeah, but I loved Nawaz Loved Nawaz. Nawaz and Onurag actually I wish I loved Onurag would act more. I agree because I think he's a very talented actor um And so uh, it was a lot of fun to to watch them on screen Uh, anything else? No, okay. Good to go. Uh, well, let us know what you thought about the film Obviously, if you've watched it already, um, what did you like what didn't you like? And what should be our next Nawaz and Sadiki film that we should watch down below
