 They transport it nice It's a Star Trek mug and when you pour hot coffee in it it transport it transports them to the other side You've seen the show It's real cool. Wait a minute That's the yeah shatter one of them with the red one will be dead. Oh, no, that's um. Oh, is that that's a horror? It's a oh, she's right. She was red. She's the only one who lived because Kirk dug her He did some first interracial kiss on television. Yeah Hey, welcome back to our stupid direction in subcorpion. I'm Rick. Did you know that that was the first interracial kiss on television? That's true. Yep. Well, at least in America on television. Yeah, I don't know about the rest of we In terms of that stuff people don't normally look at the rest of the world. Yeah, and there's cinema So it's possible that speaking of cinema. What are we doing a review? No, oh good Did you watch something? Yep, six things. Oh, well, let's just do one. Okay, and I'll just agree with you. Okay. Yeah Today happy Halloween by the way Spooky I'm sad already if you are actually gonna be over if you are actually celebrating Halloween Please let us know, you know a lot of you do not. Yeah, but you should it's lots of fun It's a lot of fun But if you are let us know if you are doing something especially if you're in India I want to know what any kind of Halloween celebration looks like because obviously I don't think you can do what we do here because Everyone does it every house. It's like you're gonna have candy Yeah, a lot are gonna have decorations and people gonna dress up and come to your house and ask you for candy Yep, pretty standard when you drive down neighborhood streets Loaded with little kids and the parents walking around everybody's in costume. It's pretty cool. Anyways today we watched Iqtee Right with the movie movie. Sorry Iqtee Diane is that what it sounds right to me Iqtee Diane obviously we saw the trailer for this. It's a 2013 Hindi romance thriller And it's directed by otherwise known as a horse Conan ire and I totally forgot and just popped up obviously when it started it was Written by Vishal Bardwaj produced by Vishal and his wife and his wife and then the music was by Vishal And I think I was told I think in the trailer I think somebody said like he was originally supposed to be part of it like the director Oh, but then there were some creative differences. Oh, which is weird. Does he's the producer? Yeah, if there's creative differences fire whoever you hired and then hire yourself. You're kind of the boss Yeah, I don't know that's true at all. It might not be true Also, could have been he was just willing to let it go and yeah, yeah, but starring Imran Hashmi, which is who this is our first first time going around of Indian Colin Farrell And con Connison Sharma, Koki Kaiklin and Huma Kureshi Which I had either forgotten or didn't know that Kalki was in it. Are you for a totally forgot she popped up I'm like Anyways, but yeah, so it's is if you haven't watched it go watch it come back Where did we see it? YouTube. Yeah, we had a rented on rent on YouTube rented on YouTube It wasn't it might be available in India some other place But I'm just meant for we came out to him 13 if you haven't watched it go watch it come back Rick your initial thoughts and initial thoughts were I thought it was well probably Probably the scariest of the ones we'd seen of that horror of horror films You've seen that's probably the one that had the most where the ambiance was scary in the Stereotypical way expect a horror film to be scary. Yeah, and I thought all all told I enjoyed it I didn't love it. Yeah, but I liked it. So it's like I gave everything across the board like everything got a bee for me I didn't feel like there was anything Extremely meritorious in any way, but there wasn't anything bad about it. I just thought this is a this is a good Halloween movie to watch Yeah, I agree with you on that definitely a scary part because obviously a lot of the ones we've seen aren't like in terms of American horror films. It's not those ones that we've seen aren't that stereotypical No, and forgive me for getting the title of but we just watched it But the other one that I think is is right up there with it was the one with the couple in the Little farm in the cornfield around the Marathi film. Yes, that one. I actually like that movie more Oh, yeah, but the scary level was they're pretty close. Yeah, and they're scariness. Yeah, I enjoyed that one more Yeah, I enjoyed this film as well There were certain parts that I enjoyed a lot more than especially the scary parts I thought they did the scary very very favorite part the very well in this film I thought they did it like the suspense level of a lot of parts were really really good They had some really good jump scares. I thought the star in terms of acting was Konkana Sinsharma Yes, and I know she's like a she's known for she's known for being a thespian right and so that makes by far She was my favorite. Yeah, I thought she did a fantastic job And I said to Emron Hashmi But he this was a really role that he could shine in in terms of like showing what he could do not at all Her and that's not his fault. Yeah, and her this was that role obviously that you can you're getting to be a basically a demon Which is right pretty fun. Yeah So I thought she did really well. It was I think I would describe this as If Bollywood did a horror film, right? I agree. There were and there were big Bollywood Missala film elements to it that weren't my favorite parts of it. Those were the parts I wish weren't there. Yeah, like the romance aspect of it You the way it works in a horror film as far as I'm concerned in my personal tastes are bull bull That was a romance horror film But the the musical numbers in the midst of this just seemed and I know it's common for the genre But it just pulls me out of it. I just didn't even enjoy them as much I think they even though they were it kind of reminded me Very different film But also the show bar goes satya in terms of how I enjoyed the song in it Like in terms of as a song, right, but Like the song I'm talking about in satya is it's like the number where they're just drinking and having a good time But it's like a gangster killer No, uh, a great song in that but I was like just it for me. It doesn't fit It's like no, it's a song in Gangster wasp. Exactly. Why would you do that? You shouldn't Decide really let's put godfather on Broadway and turn it into a musical So yeah, the certain parts where it's like you could tell this feels like a Bollywood film like a stereotypical like This is just a Missala Bollywood romance right agree parts of it felt like that agreed But I think the parts that it really excelled in were the scary the scary parts It was a little cringy right out the gate. Yeah, it was when it started. I thought I was nervous Uh-oh, so was I and Ronnie watched it with me and we were both like, oh no Okay, and thankfully it got good basically when they when they made him go under right and they were doing that Even though I don't like that trope of a film of like here's what happens and right this whole thing But I enjoyed that actual part of it. Like I thought the kid did really well. I thought the scary Moments and it lasted for a good hour I'd say right yeah the flashback flashback sequence and then the end I thought was really good in terms of bringing in that scary element. I liked the twist I didn't see the fact that he was a demon What about his girlfriend? Do you see that she's I had a feeling about what's happening? Yeah I liked the fact it was an interesting concept of there's good and bad demons Yeah, and I like yeah the fact that there's in the that there could be a good or bad demon that was like Oh, I never thought that's an interesting idea. There's a film starring Paul Bentney whom I love love. There's a film called Legion I don't know if you ever saw it. I know of it. I've never seen it It was like a B-list film essentially like it didn't do amazing or anything but Mima Warsaw because we're major Paul Bentney fans But it's essentially like All these angels and demons are fighting and they're kind of taking over the world And because it's God sent them and the the whole thing is basically God forgot that he loved the Was this before or after Da Vinci Code? I think it was after because Da Vinci Code was a long time ago. Yeah, I know He's my favorite part of Da Vinci Code. I wanted more of him in Da Vinci Code But yeah, so the concept of like What's what is the relationship with demons and what are they? It's obviously a thing But I thought they actually did it quite well. I enjoyed the end and it was quite spooky Yeah, it was nice. It was like oh the dark eyes. We're in hell. We're in hell And she she was the kids were right. Yeah, those are the people who used to live here But they like killed that little girl. I know and they killed the dad. I was like holy shit Yeah So like it was like a and I kind of looked into after this is this guy's first director Oh hats off really. Yeah, it's I believe very well done. And I've also he was in the film. I think he was the He was called the Was he one of the I thought he was in the film and maybe I'm like am I hallucinating here? I thought I saw him in the film. But anyways, I looked it up and um Like this was his first directoral. I think he's an actor mostly. Yeah It's his scientist and director. Huh. Um, so he had a cameo But look everything else before this was just either an actor or a writer or an ad And then he hasn't really done much since outside He's got something in pre-production right now as a director and a writer So it wouldn't surprise me maybe if you he was a friend of a show if it's shawls. Yeah, I'm sure Because if jim shawls has done that in the past, he's like tries to give uh people their An opportunity and wouldn't surprise me and he very well may have set out to direct it And said, you know what you can and you should and I'll be there because I think if vichol did this film It would be very different. I agree and I don't think he would have put in those parts I don't think it would have been as bollywood. Yeah. Yeah, because he doesn't straight Maybe maybe obviously we're not totally familiar with all maybe he would have put some of those things But from what the vibe we've gotten from him is like I think you would have just stuck to more of this and it may have been a decision of He very well may have said I want you to do it because I think you'll do it this way And it'll be more commercially viable And I'm producing it. I want to make sure we make the money on this thing as a commercially viable film For a broader audience if I make it the way I want to make it We'll probably lose some money on this thing because it's going to have a darker edge to it It's not going to be commercially viable and I really like this to be especially for 2013 Which is obviously before the ott platforms are taken over exactly at the At time we're they're making bollywood bollywood films. So I actually commend them for Even though at times it felt like that. It's a nice try In terms of scary. It's the scariest we've seen For a horror genre in India. Yeah, it's if even though like some of you may be surprised Some real good and wondering like because there are moments in uh I can't believe the name is escaping me right now. We watched it last year the tree woman The tongue bed. Yes, tongue bed. Yeah, tongue bed got some scary. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely So I I'd have to go but in terms of like scary typical scary like jump scares right in terms of what you expect for your Like each each time he went to like the elevator. I was expecting something to like jump out some real good jump scares Which was fun. Yeah, jump scares are a lot of fun But let's talk about emron hush me. Obviously people have been asking me to get to him for a long time And obviously we know this is probably not the one that shows his Thespian added muscles, which I actually I know he has because you can actually tell That because he's actually quite subtle in his acting. He is he's reminded me quite a bit of Like this isn't a movie you would tell people to see The illusionist. Yeah. Um, I like the illusion. Yeah, uh, the not paul giamati, but the guy who is the illusionist Ed Ed Norton. Yeah, that's not a movie you say if you want to see Ed Norton act go see the illusionist You don't know, but it's a really really good movie. It's not like just bad in it He does a very good job because of what he's given but obviously there's other films that you could show him Yeah, but that's that's the nature of the role. It's the nature of what he's given I'm excited the same way I'm excited to actually that we find the got to him because obviously it's been a long time coming And we will I know shanghai I think is one that's high in a lot of people's lists once upon a time in mumbai I think is another one that other people say He's really good for him But you can tell because he's he's one of those actors that's he's pretty natural Yeah, even though I know he looks like Colin Farrell. Yeah, he reminds me of Colin Farrell very natural I don't I didn't see any indicating Um, I felt like he did what he needed to do. I really liked and as far as the storyline I liked the fact that he was becoming really paranoid And people were wondering what was wrong with him all the way to the point where he sees a waitress with A braid in her hair and he's sure it's a witch. He's gonna cut her braid off. Yeah, I thought that was great Yeah, I believed he was freaking out a hundred percent. Yeah, and so yeah, I like I mean I'm encouraged. I'm glad like Everybody wasn't like oh, he's a really good actor and then we like Right, is he I can see it and I'm excited to see more of him and then you could tell that When he actually has those roles he could probably deliver The goods in terms of and it was interesting. We've been talking a lot about the roles We've seen Kalki in where she has tended to be the bad girl and in these things and in this one She really actually wasn't the bad girl. Yeah, and they led you on led you on good casting Kalki is the devil I mean, it's there. It's the demon or something. Um, it really felt like it. I know for a long time And at the end I was like, oh, sorry Kalki It wasn't to you But uh, yes, obviously Kalki did very well. Yeah, sure and and and all that kind of stuff But once again as I said in the beginning I think the star in terms of acting was Konkona. I agree. Well, she was so good. She had the best part That's true. As you said at the beginning. She really had the best part. Uh, she really fits the uh, the role as I She just she was so believable all of the time When she's giving particular glances that have double meanings like she was scary I love when her eyes just got all black. You can see like behind her eyes like Is she good? Is she bad when we're trying to figure it out? It was also great in the very very beginning when they're walking down the beach And the woman walks by and you see the footprints in the sand that are backwards and Johnny said stop it. Let's pause it And I said, yeah, she said something you need to know I said what that witches walk backwards with their feet and that they have braids in their hair They give them their power. She went We've seen a lot of We've seen a lot of witch stuff Yeah, she's a how did you know that? Oh, yeah, even during Halloween season so far. There's been like three or four films that have that very Thing, you know, but what we haven't had till this one and I like this folklore That once you've had sex with a witch you'll never want to have sex with anybody else That's why I am with my wife be the witch Um, yeah, so I thought she did uh So and we've seen her in a few roles, but they were a lot smaller roles By the way, is that how the doctor died because that's a that's a great way to go Because when when he finds him Oh, she was just he's dead on the floor and she had just said to him When you have sex with a witch you're never going to go back and he's up against the hypnosis board And then when he finds him if she's dead did he die that way? It's a it's a hell of a way the sex was that good wasn't it? Hello. That's the way to go Here lies bob Yeah, and we've seen her in a few things actually But most of them were smaller roles correct. Uh, I think that she was in seven kunmab. She was in omkara. She was in Uh, I think something. I don't think there's anything we've seen here at car bar. Uh, definitely. Oh, she was the writer and director Uh, oh, I totally forgot that That's right. I think it was her first her first that was what we said We were like we can tell like it's a it's a newer director. Yeah, um I totally forgot that was her film But I know I know her reputation and I especially she's done stuff in bengal, right? Uh a lot, right? Um Is she in the japanese wife? No, she's just special. Thanks in the japanese wife Oh, but she remember that film that we just directed the rapist She's she's the one in that she's in that she's in that one. Yeah, okay I know of like even though we've only seen her in smaller supporting roles I mean, she's she's known as like a thespian It shows in this movie. She was she's great screen presence and she did a phenomenal job at being Innocent is she evil? Is she not evil? Yeah and being real scary and not being it would have been really easy for a less experienced actress And it's also a testament to the director to guiding everything Some of her interactions with the little boy could have been creepy Yeah You know what I mean and they weren't yeah, it could have been really inappropriately creepy and they they weren't She'd been actually in quite a bit that we don't know. I'm going down. She's been even more Um that we've seen so obviously led us to know that she was apparently in luck by chance Guess everyone was in luck by chance I'm gonna go out the other door you can get out over there Bless her heart. Uh, he's trying to find a way to go to the backyard Yeah, I'll help you if you need it No, the other this one here sweet that door intermission There you go anyways But yeah, so yeah, I thought she did really well I'm excited to see more first. So obviously let us know what should be her next Especially if it's like what she's known for and like what's her best performance Please let us know that because I would love to see more from her I thought the girlfriend did especially towards the end when she was a demon. I thought she did much better Yeah, but she fell victim to I think some of the bollywood writing in the beginning that I was like This is not so good. Yeah, so it very well could have just been the the the writing because Towards the beginning. I got the same thing. I was like, oh This is cringey bollywood writing. Yeah, the front part of it was surprising considering it was the shawl I was like, oh I'm this is a little I wasn't expecting to feel some cringe here and thankfully it dissipated pretty quick Yes, it did. Yeah, um and once again the songs I thought were good songs. Yeah, it's a shame They're it's just I good songs that I just don't feel like they fit I wouldn't rather them just stuck to the scary agree Uh, I agree just like bull bull. Yeah Just and well pretty much everything we've seen if you're in horror. Just stick to it. Just stick to the genre Just stick to it. Yeah, I think um What film oh it was pizza, right where uh, I was like you can cut out the front part of the love interest And just do the do the stuff in the house Um, it's it's not that bad in terms of like what I felt obviously I enjoyed this film And I there was a lot of parts that were really good But I think you could have made it even snappier by kind of almost cutting out the songs And and all that and kind of just sticking to the now This is one of those that I wouldn't put on my list to like watch every halloween But if I had turned on netflix and was looking for something to watch And it was halloween and I saw this I'd be like, ah Yeah, or if it was on I'd be oh cool. Let's watch this. Yeah, I liked it And I thought the end sequence was actually really really good in terms of like it has a great climate great Final 20 minutes one in terms of like visual effects of it. I thought that was it was real good. Yep. Um, yeah and uh, you could You could tell that they um Maybe put some of that money there at the end because obviously they were flying around Yes, and doing all this this other stuff and once again, that's not cheap. No So it's possible. It's just I would be so interested to know vichar's role In this because he seems to be in control Of everything, but he wasn't the director And some of the dialogue just didn't seem like vichar dialogue. Yeah, and it didn't seem like a vichar film Well, maybe that's like the good scary parts. Sure But like I think he can I it wouldn't surprise me if he had a concept Of here's our story But we're going to take a story that if I did it the way I typically would it's going to be pretty dark and not accessible to everybody But we're going to make it more mainstream for these stars that are so well known And here's how I can kind of tweak that and feel like I'm violating my artistic sensitivities Yeah, that would not surprise me. Yeah, absolutely. No. Um, obviously we shall our dosed um And I want to watch another one of his director. Oh, I do too. Very it's been a long time very much And he has a lot and he actually has a halloween one. I don't know if it's actually one of his first films I think we saw a song from a member about the the brother and sister Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Um, I think it's just on patreon because I think it was and it was one is isn't it? Is it his first film? It might be one of his first one of his first or his first Um, so I don't know that one, but I know that he has a couple others that are like, um The the blue umbrella is one that I think it's with shithead's father Um, and I'm excited for his the new one his next project. Uh, with it's with ali, right? Yes Um, um, from from ali faisal from our dost. Yes, uh, and taboo, of course. Yes, um, and then He's also producing that dog one with his kid, right? Yeah, so that'll be cool. And then hopefully he comes out with another Shakespeare one as well Yes, I'm hoping so we Believe that is the case Uh, but once again, let us know what you thought about this film, uh down below And for obviously colky obviously she's in a like I think she's in everything I think that if i'm not mistaken There's only been one performance where I I wasn't really thrilled. That's it. Yeah, and even then First of all, how old was she? Yeah, but also it was weird because it was on rug Right. It was so weird that it was very strange that the ride but it was the only one of hers I watched where I thought Eh, it was bad, but it just wasn't yeah. Yeah, I agree But obviously emron hashmi, please let us know what he's next to be And of course con conneson charma. Yep, uh, please let us know. I know she's done stuff in vengal and Bollywood as well. So let us know that and This is our last film of uh, spooky month. Um, and uh, I enjoyed it for the most part Uh, next year I don't know if we'll do a full month because obviously there's a limited number of scary films in india It's hopefully we'll get new releases. Yeah, it's a small pool So maybe we'll just do like two or three towards the end end of halloween like halloween week. Yeah I don't know because obviously there's it's not a huge pool to pull from like romance month. There's a curgillian In classics that there's just no we can do we can completely reverse it We could recommend some horror films that we know from here and then have some stupid babies review them like, uh Tugs of Hiroshima scary. Don't watch it. I haven't seen it, but I hear it's bad
