 That sounded like... What? You're... you're... I don't even want to hear it. It sounded exactly like... Your mom. Welcome back to our stupid rakes because you did something Corbin. I'm frustrated. And you follow us on Instagram and Twitter for our juicy content. It's so cheesy. It can't be better than going over to Kate's corner. And follow some personal YouTube channels. Link's right down there in the description. If you'd like to see more different stuff... What? What was it? You sounded exactly like Tom Hulson on the days. That's a weird reference there. His laugh. His little laugh. Not the full... The big, I can't even do it. But when he would occasionally go... It was the exact same tonality. Anyway, hi everybody! Anyway, it's now that Rick's paying attention. Today we are doing a movie review. Because we do those often. Regardless of what some of you think. Yeah. I've seen a lot of stupid babies come to our defense. They really have. They've talked about one other channel who's done like five movie reviews in the history of their channel. They do two a week. Exactly. Suck my left heiny hole. One week we don't have a review, forgive. I know. While you were busy in a way... Busy. Come on. So give me a break. Anyways, today we are doing a movie review. Long awaited! I think we reacted to this over a year ago for sure. I think we probably reacted to the trailer for this. Not long after we watched P.K. Because she was in P.K. Right? This is obviously one of the first things we've seen of Yusha Sharma. Yes. Outside of P.K. Correct. But we've seen her stuff that she's produced a lot. Like Batarok. Yes. And other things like that. So we know her style. But this is directed by... In H-10 is what we're watching obviously. It's Navdeep Singh. Yes. Who also did that Jack Sparrow... Saif Ali Khan film. That we didn't see yet. Yes. That's the one I know. Just things I like to make you guys mad. But it's also produced by... Anyard Kashyap. Which I didn't realize before I started watching it. But then I now recognize his logo. The logo. The Phantom logo. And I was like, oh cool. Yeah. I too. I didn't know Anyard was involved until the Phantom logo. And then obviously Yusha Sharma and... Neil Bupalam. Who we've seen. Have we? Yes. I was trying to place him while I was watching him. Because we have seen him before. And I'm trying to remember where it was. And I didn't do... That wasn't part of my homework for this. I didn't think we had seen him. I've seen his face before. No, I don't think we've seen him. And nothing. Not even a TV show? No. He wasn't in something like Deli Belli or... No? No. Well he just looked familiar to me then. No. Bracest. Oh well. Bracest. What the heck? Because that's how we like to do it. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. It's a short film. Come back. And then you will see our review. So, Rick, initial thoughts. Which stupid babies do. I love that you guys do that. You get the messages that say, I did stop it. I went and watched. Thank you. And it's a thrill, truly, the messages that we get regularly from you that say thank you so much for opening my eyes to the broader world of Indian cinema. That makes me so freaking happy. I know what that's like too. So I've got the paragraph. Good. Deep breath. And engaging and frustrating. I need to explain the frustrating. And engaging and frustrating movie whose greatest attributes are its strong performances by its actors, most especially in Nishka Sharma. And it's extraordinarily important subject matter of quote unquote, honor killing. We're going to change the terminology for that. However, NH10, like too many theatrical releases in India, suffers from another type of violence in the name of moral high ground. And that's the violence of censorship. We're going to talk about that. And it's going to be interesting. So there you go. But you initially enjoyed it, correct? Yeah. Yeah. Ultimately, all in all, I enjoyed the film. And I think I was, I actually probably the same issues, probably you had. And it wasn't most, most of it wasn't the film's fault. No, not at all. But yeah, I thought it was actually a really good thriller. Yeah. It was like I jumped making me more jumped at certain points. And it like, especially towards the end. And I got so annoyed. Yeah. Sorry. You're saying especially towards the end, you know, when she was going all like badass woman and just murdering. Murdering them all. I loved it. Yeah. I felt a level of cock honey happiness and that loved it. And but yeah, then also the overall message of how certain parts of India in all parts, including her husband, treat women. Yes. You know, he at one point was even saying like you women can't read maps. Yep. And I was like, okay. All right. That's one way to treat your wife. A little bit of feeling there. So honestly, I wasn't mad that he died. I wasn't. But well, and I was it for some other reasons. Yeah. I'll tell you what those aren't. But I really enjoyed the film. I thought it was a really good film. I thought most Americans could probably watch this film and enjoy this film. It's one of those that's it's easily enjoyed. It's an easy watch. You don't need to know much outside of you might need to understand what an honor and honor killing. Yeah. It's actually now that you mentioned it for as much as and we'll get into this in a second, the censorship thing. I will say in its current format, it does function well as an introduction to this topic for people who would like their kids to know about the subject matter but not dive into something so heavy that they're traumatized by it. And it depends on the kid. Yeah. You know what I mean? So like there's some some kids by the time they're 13, 14, they can watch anything that you're going to show them and they won't be affected by it. There's some others that are going to be really sensitive. This is a this is a good film in that regard. But as far as really showing it to you. Yeah, we'll get into it. Let's talk about it. This is one of the first things outside of PK that we've actually seen her in. How would you? I first of all shows you how much I liked her in PK when it's no secret that PK is one of my favorite films I've seen. And one of those reasons is because of her. I thought she was really delightful. She's got a great screen presence. She's emotionally available. And this took it up a complete other notch. This is a hard. This is a hard type of film to do where you're in a heightened state of trauma the whole time. Yeah. And be believable. It's exhausting. First of all, I read up. You may have seen this that all of the physical work she did herself. She did all of her own stuff. That's great. All of her own stuff work. She actually got hurt doing it. Just bumps and bruises and had to go to the hospital and get checked for some stuff. But she's like. Good for her. I agree. So yeah. I ultimately, for me, she's my favorite thing about the film other than the subject matter. Yeah. I think she carried the film well. 100%. Yeah. I like her a lot. And we've heard that. She was one of the most underrated actors for us because we've explored a bunch of other actresses and we hadn't explored her very much yet. But it wasn't because we had any personal vendetta. It was because we hadn't gotten to it yet. Yeah. So sorry about that. Just like Manosh. It's like, right. Not because we hated the guy. We loved the guy. He was a phenomenal actor. We just hadn't gotten to him yet. Exactly. It takes us a while, guys. There's a lot of films in India. I mean, there's a lot of films in India. We haven't even gotten to 100 films yet. And India produces 2,000 a year. So we're catching up. We are catching up. Baby steps. Yeah. But I thought, what's his name? Neil did. Good. Not great. I thought he was... He did fine. He was well. He did a solid job. He was solid. But his character... Okay. Yeah. Let's talk about... First of all, everybody. He's an idiot. Yeah. Let's talk about a couple things he did that just straight up pissed me off. And when I say this, I'm not talking about Neil the actor. I'm talking about the way the movie was written. This guy is an absolute frickin moron. He is a moron. I'm just... The whole ego thing. Yeah. I thought, you're gonna jeopardize your frickin wife's life over your ego. And here's a note to all of you. Do not, I repeat, do not brandish a firearm unless your intention is to kill with it. It's not something you wave around to scare people with. That's like rule number one in firearm training is you take... It's a lethal weapon. You use it for lethal force. It's not a thing to scare people with. You only take it out because you're gonna frickin use it. So that really pissed me off. Then how about this one? Which one? They tumble down the hill. He runs the other way. He did. You frickin... It was at that point I was like... Oh, okay. That's one way to... Oh! Ann took the gun. Oh, yeah. Ann took the gun. She saved him so many times. I know! But yeah, there's... So obviously he was trying to... Which that whole thing obviously with the... In the town that they were in and where honor killings are a big deal, right? Yeah. He was trying to stand up and I was like, okay, that's... That's good, right? Trying to stand up. Which you have to be careful with. Yeah, you do. There's times you shouldn't step in. Yeah, but you know, he's doing that. But then he goes after them when there's about ten of them. Yeah, seriously. And one of him... And I was like, okay, what logical person would do that? An idiot. Yeah. And so if that's the point that they were trying to get across it, this guy was an egotistical like... Idiot? It worked. It worked because he made you mad. He was like, okay, what frickin moron? Seriously. But then he obviously some stuff. He said to his wife and then... So certain stuff, I just... His character was annoying. Which means you did a good job. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad he died though. I wasn't glad in terms of her loss. As far as the character, it was kind of like, well, dude, what did you expect was going to happen to you? Yeah. You created this whole situation out of your idiocy. I was sad for her and it didn't surprise me. He looked like he was going when she left. Oh yeah. When she left him, I was like, no. He's going to get it out. Many of you... One, don't remove the knife. Don't remove the knife. That was the other thing. Leave it in. Whatever it is. Pencil. Because it actually stops the bleeding. The minute you pull it out, it starts to gush. Yeah. So that's actually what killed Steve Irwin. Yeah. He panicked. If he had left the stinger in, they might have been able to surgically remove it. So that's a big... It's hard to do that your natural instinct is get it out. Get it out. But yeah. Don't take it out. Anyway. Yeah. Don't say it. The... Aside from that, I felt like all of the other... Like the bad guys. Oh yeah, I thought... Especially the main one. The main dude. He was a great, great job. What is his name? He did a really good job. I felt like the... Was that autistic guy actually autistic? Because I thought he did really well too. He did really well as well. If he's not autistic, he did really, really well. Yeah. Everybody did. The mom who was the chief of the village, I thought was strong in her role. I think this is him. It is. Darshan Kumar. Darshan Kumar. Yeah. He was very believable as that guy. He's in the family, man. The series. Oh, cool. With Manush, which I know a lot of people want us to watch. But yeah, he did really, really well. Believe it or not. I liked all the bad guys. I thought all the bad guys did really well. The whole world they were trying to build. They did, I think, a good job at. Yep. Obviously, the parts that we had a problem with. You could tell this was highly censored in terms of... It would surprise me if you talked to Yushka Sharma and she didn't tell you that they censored the crap out of this. 100%. Because I liked it. But honestly, I wanted more gore, bloody. The way it should have been. Like if you... Robin Roger 2.0. Yeah, if you... Gangs. If you... Even gangs. Go full-fledged into a guy's face that's sitting down. You should see blood squirting and his skull should be crushed. And when he shoots Pinky in the head. Yeah. At that close of a range. Oh yeah, it should be. The back of her head would have blown out. Yeah. It should have been as graphic as Pato Lopes' camera. So it could have been two things. It could have been budget as well. I don't know what their budget was for this, obviously. And so if you don't have the budget, you can't make everything look as cool or as good as you want. But there were certain points where they pulled away at certain times. I would have loved to have seen more of that gore. Even things like this. We've talked about this over and over again. The ridiculousness of smoking kills. Drinking is injurious to your health. Yeah. And even subtitles being censored. That's so bad. It's so stupid and it really is a problem. It's probably something we can talk about because we could go at length about it. But it really is an issue. And theatrical released. You wonder why everyone we've talked to prefers stuff that goes on OTP? I guarantee if it was on like Amazon or Netflix, you'd have seen all of it. Because the artistry, and this is a long topic that I've done some research and homework on. But let's just say there really needs to come a monumental change in this regard for theatrical released films and why they're censored and what that censorship is doing to artistry. Yeah. If you censor a bad word, I still know what that bad word is. So is it less worse if you think the bad word? I'm confused. Two, like, it's so annoying. Any censorship of any art is awful. Especially, and there's some of you who aren't going to like this. Don't care. Art should never be censored by government. No, 100% no. Government should have any place in art. And that is the biggest problem is that we're dealing with a situation where in America, the rating system, it's not a censorship board, it's a trade union. It's a private organization that creates it. They don't tell you what to take out of your film at all. They just say, this is the rating we have to give you if you want to play it. Right. And if you show us your film, here's the rating it has. Based on the criteria and they'll change it. If that's the big, you know, the whole industry votes on it, they'll change that. And that's why they created the NC17 rating and few people make NC17s because it's superfluous. But the bottom line is that is an industry trade union, not a government entity. And there's way too many things wrong about government censorship of art. You can get a doctoral thesis created on that topic. And that's, I don't know how that's ever going to change. You could tell that it was, if it wasn't, I'd be extremely surprised because you could tell. At some point they wanted to do more. Show you more? Yeah. To bring that impact? Yes. But I think they got cut or they got told no or they got whatever. And it doesn't make any sense to me because like I know for example some of the things that the board prohibits are things like for example, children being abused. Okay, I understand that to a certain degree. You don't want to go anywhere near something as evil as child pornography. But if you're going to deal with the abuse of children as slaves or child abuse, you can't depict that realistically. Doesn't mean you have to be gratuitous of this. But again, the deeper core regardless of whether or not you agree or disagree with the way things are being censored. I just, and I know you agree with me, government shouldn't be involved in art. I don't understand that. That's the bottom line on that. They have no place. Nope. That's oppression. Yeah. The other thing which is the most important thing about this is the subject matter, which has been around for thousands of years and I wish there was a way it could be solved. Yeah. Honor killings? Yeah. Which there's no honor in it. No. I'm guessing this part of India, because obviously this is based off of a real highway. Yeah. And these are based off of real events. It's not a true story, but some of the events depict that are actually real events. And so it's obviously certain parts of India this happens more than others. Right. But this is depicting one of those areas that it happens in. And sometimes even the cops are in on it as they showed. Yep. Which is ridiculous. As is one of the worst things that can be done in situations like this is people might think they're doing a good thing by bringing the person back to their family. And that's the exact opposite place they need to go. I've watched some documentaries on this topic that were done in different countries. And it's an issue that the only way it can be changed is to change an entire community's belief system that they've had in place culturally or as a tribe for literally centuries. And much of it is not religious in origin, but it does have religious overtones. Yeah. But there isn't any like, you can find certain things that are interpreted as whatever scripture you'll be referring to. They can be misinterpreted as that way, but there's nothing definitively that I've ever read or seen that you can draw from that is what is definitively an honor killing, which an honor killing, which I hate the term, is this idea that the only thing a female is for is a repository of the family's lineage and honor. And if anything happens to that female repository that is dishonoring to the family in any way, the family has a responsibility to rid themselves of the shame of it as if it was just like this bowl and oh, there's poop in it. Let's throw it out. I mean, that's literally the way it's the mentality is. And to change it, it terrifies me to think that it's gone on for centuries. And how do you change that? No idea. And it was what they talked about obviously because with obviously the caste system, I think the guy said if there wasn't a caste system, we wouldn't all be divided. And there'd be no way to stop everybody in that part of the system. Yeah, and that's a whole other thing. But obviously the people that we saw for the non-coverage in Assam, basically a lot of the news coverage covers Mumbai and it covers Delhi. Yes, it covers the big cities and it doesn't really care. It doesn't make the news. No, not only does the media not cover those areas, but as you said, the laws, there's a great line in the film where it says electricity and power don't reach it. What makes you think the Constitution will? Yikes. And that's how they feel. It's a great line. That's a great line. And the reality about this, I did some research. The United Nations most recent reporting is approximately 5,000. And these are the ones that are freaking reported. So let's triple or quadruple the stat. 5,000 reported quote unquote on our killings. Deaths, not just mutilations. Deaths a year. I did the math on that and that comes out to approximately one every 90 minutes to two hours. That are reported and that aren't just attacks because there's acid attacks. There's general mutilation. And one fifth of those have come from India. Hey, they happen here too. There's one in Arizona where a dad ran over his daughter and killed her because she was becoming too westernized. So this whole concept is an important thing to bring to light. But like so many movies we watch, the people who need to see it the most will never see it at all. Yeah. And I thought Not Deep did a great job tying in all that as best he could with the censoring. I don't even know how much more the censor board took out. That's not just with the violence and the... Right. He could have been trying to say a bigger message that they were like, don't put that in because they're allowed to do that. Yeah. The bottom line is when it comes to theatrical releases, the censorship board has the final say on the artistic expression. Period. That's what it is. I think Oda Punjab had like 99 edits made to it because of the censorship board. Yeah. I think I've heard they're trying to get into the OTT platforms, but obviously Amazon... Amazon has never let that happen. No, that's not... The scary thing that could happen is if it stays in that direction, if there comes this fight between government censorship and freedom of expression on OTP platforms, you could find it going the way of China. Yeah. Where China says we're not letting it. Period. Yeah. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. I hope so. Hopefully the censorship board just gets taken away. Anyways, there's no rant about the censorship board. No, no, no. It's partial. Well, partial rant. I mean, don't get me wrong. I hate them. Yeah, but the larger issue that it brings to is so frustrating because it's an important movie in that it does talk about it. And then there aren't a lot of movies talking about this issue. And I feel like she did a really good job. He, the director, and her, and Anyard Kashyap as the producer did as best of job as they could. Yeah. I think maybe they just see Anyard Kashyap attached to anything and they're like, yeah, I'm going to send something out. Not with him involved. But I also was a little frustrated by some of the things that weren't... Like at the end, I love that she ran everybody down. But that one moron running and that she was chasing slowly, all he had to do was jump up on the stairs. Yeah, or jump up on the car. Or when she came up, she was like, I said to the TV, get on her hood. Yeah. Yeah, I said the same thing. I was like, you can just jump on her hood. Jump on her hood. He went by a section that just had a little thing of stairs to his left and went up two feet and like, what's she going to do? Clip her knee with her rear view? Yeah. Just get up on the steps. I did like the mentality she got into that at the end of the day. I did. I set that aside. I wanted her to kill the mother, too, though. I wanted her to kill everybody. Yeah, yeah. I wanted her to kill everybody because that little girl doesn't want to be there. She even said it. She wanted to leave with her sister. Yeah. So get that little girl and her sister out of there. Yep. And kill the mother. Kill them all. Kill them all. Anyways, it was great. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed it, too. Let us know what next... And there's just a Sharma film we should watch down below. I know she produces a ton. She does. And her attachment to Pate Loca is encouraging. And I think for the two things, she reminds me of quite a bit. Her screen presence and her capacities and acting. She reminds me a lot of Vidya. Yeah, for sure. Right? Very similar person. So this was hats off to you for what is a really... You made it look easy. This was not an easy role. This was a very demanding role to have to stay at that level of stress for that long. So ultimately a really good movie. Good stuff. So watch another video next down below.
