 And welcome back to sport three to our watch along of special 26 with If you haven't seen the other parts, please go watch the other parts. Obviously, if you saw this on YouTube, you're going to see a very, very cut up version. We can use about five to 10 minutes of very cut up footage. But if you'd like to see the full uncut version, you can head over to Patreon. I'll put the link to show you below in the pin comment. And at the end of this one, we will talk about the movie and do our review like we normally do. Here we go. He's just nonstop movement for this camera team. Yeah, for the feel, the tension. Yeah. Oh, please. What? That was a tough shot. No. oh they came out up and around and then up the stairs i think they built it because they just went over the thing as well yeah tracking shots gotta love some tracking shots and then there's the crew going backwards again shout out to the people that make sure the camera people don't fall down yeah i still think manoja's in on it i don't i think it's renvir i think he's been a part of it the whole time okay i'm really hoping for a great payoff here yeah something's not it's not yeah i'm gonna go no because for a heist film it doesn't have a lot of complexity so my guess is the complexity is going to be our payoff as to who's really involved yeah police headquarter sir kishan i told you he was planted from the beginning it was a distraction where are they now though i don't know to where they were really hiding the stuff hey hold the cool building he was planted sir he was actually a man who came to our office as a police officer and we beat him up he's not sure if this is how my son is Because years have not only been stolen from the shop, but also stolen from Akshav. Why are you so sad? Are you tired of your mind? A few weeks later. Your money order has arrived. Money order? Where is it? Mr. Vaseem, I want to return it, but I am helpless. I don't have any work to earn your respect. Yes Rahul. Sir, we have information about them. This is actual footage? No. This is not. Three years ago maybe. What was that? Is that just showing that they're living out their life or... Don't have any idea what that was. I think that last thing... I think it was... One, he said there was information. And so maybe they found out where they were. Just simply where they were. Obviously they said it was based on a shoe store. Right. I'm sure it was a lot of embellishments and cinematics. I think it just showed you where they were and that they're now living the life of their dreams. Because I did hear... It's unfortunate that they still yet to catch the main guy. I don't know about the other people. Because it'd be weird because they definitely knew where Anupamkar lived. At least in the movie. Because they went to his house. But it also could have just been... Did he leave his family? Yeah. They may bounce around all the time. This was his house for the time. But after the crime... He went to the wedding. Yeah, he did. An adult kid, obviously. I don't know. Overall, I did really enjoy it. I could have done it without all the tying up at the end. But it is like they explaining it, over-explaining it. I was like, I got the twist at the end. Yeah, they got away with it. We understand. But I get it. Especially this is at least 10 years old. We have been told that they kind of have to spoon-feed. Explain it if it's anywhere kind of complicated. But it did. It kept us guessing. I didn't get that it was going to be Ranveer Singh until like five minutes before they said it. Yeah, and I'm thankful. I was like, this is a heist film. It's got to be a payoff. And yes, I guess people could critique it and say it doesn't have the complexity of other heist films where you're constantly guessing who's done it. It's pretty straightforward. But it makes up for that lack of story complexity with the rest of it, especially the cinematography complexity, the score and the cinematography, just keeping it moving. It never dragged. It was constantly moving. I was constantly, though it didn't give me the sense of on the edge of your seat, they're 10 steps ahead of me, it did keep me engaged in wondering what's going to happen next. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I thought they did it. My favorite parts were probably the cinematography and the score of this. Without question. Which had to shout out. And the groundedness. Oh yeah. Yeah, I really liked it. Everybody was really good. For as funny as it was, it wasn't hokey-cheesy weird. It's apparently the same direct cinematographer as Queen. Bobby Singh is the cinematographer. You had mentioned early on that you think Niraj... Yeah. And the editor. The editor is... I should say that name. Shri Narayan Singh. I want to shout out them. And does Niraj Pandey have editing or cinematography background as well? Let me see here. Because Boyle Boyle was that. It had to have been part of the pre-production conversations of, we're going to keep this thing moving. You had some assistant editing around this time. Okay. But actually it didn't show. I don't see any cinematography. Whoever came up with clearly in pre-production the thought of, we're going to keep this thing moving. So, hey, DOP and all of you assisting with camera work, put on your tennis shoes and wear your back braces. You're going to be traveling a lot while we film this. And I think the only thing of him... Oh, he also directed Baby, which we haven't seen, but that's another Akshay Kumar. And it's... I don't know if... I know it's... Only he directed the MS Doni, the Untold Story. Yeah, which we haven't seen yet. A lot of people. And that's one of the few Sushant things that we have left. Right. But on Wednesday, I don't remember a ton about it. It was very early on. Probably first year, right? Yeah. Very early on. And so I don't remember a ton of the editing style of it. I don't either. But this one I did really enjoy. I did too. I mean, it's also very accessible because it's... Everything about it's actually very kind of almost western in terms of how it's... In terms of the editing style, the score... The score? Has a lot of rock, a lot of... There's only, what, two musical numbers? Yeah, two or three. And then really one big number, which was the wedding dance number. And then there were the love songs. A couple of love songs. Yeah. Actually, probably pretty accessible and probably pretty familiar if you've never seen a... The other thing that can happen in a movie like this is it's really easy to have the love story. We've had this happen with some films where we felt like the love story wasn't needed and it kind of took away from the film and I actually felt like this didn't lose, which is tough. Yeah. For a film that's moving like this as a crime heist thing of love interest and it not drag the film down. That's really good. It was... And Manoj. Was it Jimmy Circle? Who played Runveer? Yeah. Yeah. But where... I could... We've seen him a lot. My name is Khan. We have seen him in... Yeah. There was something else we recently saw him in. Why is my son screaming at the top of his lungs? He's screaming. We're looking at his credits right now. What? Like... I feel like it's a TV show. You think it's a TV show? My stars, he's got a lot. He has a lot. Your honor... I don't know. You guys are going to have to let us know. There was actually a bunch of people, but I mean I recognize the name. Jimmy... Is this Circle? Circle. But and then there was... What's his face? That I also wanted to... Is it him? Yes. What do we just see him in? Kishore Kudam. Kishore Kudam. We've seen him in a ton, obviously, but I feel like we just saw him in something. And it's driving me absolutely up a wall. It's a ton of credits. It's going to be impossible. So much to look through. But yeah, a fun movie. We haven't talked about Akshay. This actually was very familiar in terms of Kasari. When we first got introduced to Akshay, which was not how, you know, most Indians are introduced to him. He's the funny comedic from the 90s guy, which we still haven't... We saw Bulbul, but it was not for us. That was a count. He was very... Because he's actually... He could be very, very funny as we've seen. But he's also... He could be an incredibly, like, grounding, intimidating presence on the screen. Yeah. And very small. Similar to Anna Popkar, actually. Yeah. Yeah. Great versatility in that regard. Manoj as always. As always is Manoj. Manoj, man. Manoj is Manoj. I know it seems like we've seen a ton of Akshay because we've seen so many songs. I think this is maybe the third or fourth. That's what I was thinking. There's Bulbul. There's Kasari. There's this. There's this. OMG. We've seen OMG. Yeah, that's right. OMG. By the way, what happened to OMG too? It's coming out. It's still coming out? The trailer should be coming out. Okay. Yeah. It comes out on the same day as Jailer and the other thing that comes out on that day. What is the other thing? It's a one-word film. Yeah. I forget. Kasari. Not Beast, right? Oh, technically, we did see him in... No, not Beast. That was... Oh, yeah. We saw him in... He has a small, small role. An action hero. Is that what it was called this past year? Yes. Yeah. An action hero. With Ayushman. Especially of this more serious realm that I've actually been really interested in. Toilet. Yep. That's one. Padman. We wanted to see both Toilet and Padman. I think one of those has Anushka and the other has Radhika. Yeah. I remember we saw the trailers for those first year. This one, Airlift, is based on True Story. Yeah. Remember that? That a lot of people really like. Brother is the... Yeah. Suffice it to say, we've got a lot. But I think this is technically in terms of his full full... Baby is another one that a lot of people like. Holiday as well. Surprise, surprise. He has a lot. And then he has his comedies that we also haven't seen. Like Hair Perry, which is the one where he goes like this. Yes. That's the stand. We've seen the scenes on. What's the one on the jet... On the jet ski? I think... With John... I think it was Desi Boys. With Desi Boys? Because he just has a cameo in that. Okay. It's not his film. All right. But like I think he's like a really good... He can be a really good straight actor in terms of... He has... When he has a booming voice and so that... Yeah. And a big physical presence. A big physical presence. Yeah. To him. But like sometimes like you could be like he's this funny guy, but he's not... He can't translate to serious. I actually think he translates to serious very well. Very well. From what we've seen. And this was... Even though it was like commercial in term... Have we seen a lot of heists? No. Ludo. Yeah. It was Ludo. I think there was like one other. I mean quite a few who done it. But not heists. Yeah. Because that's a different genre. Yeah. Very different genre. But hats off to the team because one I was engaged. Editing score really helped. Camera team. Just... And the... The camera work. The fact that... Because normally in these... Maybe my wife might have got it real fast because she's just really smart like that. But I did not get the renversing. I was still trying to figure out what is the twist here. What? I was like they're not gonna... There's gotta be. I feel like all these people are just a distraction. And there's something else going on. Right. This is not just a straight forward. Especially since everything about their heists was so straightforward. It didn't have... We didn't get the stereotypical setup of here's the place. Here's how hard it's gonna be to get in. This is what we're gonna have to do to get there. We didn't get any of that. Yeah. And so I... The fact that it kept you guessing to the very end. I mean, I would have liked to just end it on a stronger note. But it's a commercial film. And so I get it. Especially of this time. And so they kind of had to, I guess, tie everything up a little bit. I... Like the thing at the end where it was like a few months later or a few weeks later. And I was like, yeah. I also don't know. It was kind of sweet. I guess that he... I didn't need the thing after but that he gave his money back. I didn't mind that. Yeah. I guess they wanted to... Did they catch any of these people? Yeah, I don't know. What were you gonna say? Sorry. I was gonna say, I don't... There's gotta be some kind of cultural messaging that I completely missed in regard to why we had to see Manoj's character notice the cleavage and want it covered. I guess to make him more gray in terms of like, yeah, he has a sense of justice. But also he's still like not this upstanding person who treats his wife like people. I guess. I guess, yeah. Something like that. I guess. Or just... But he has a great relationship with his kids. Yeah, it was just an interesting thing that I'm trying to... I missed the messaging on. It was probably just more gray. I don't think it needed a... Actually, I don't think it was a message. I think it was just, this is a complex character. He has some good stuff. Qualities and some bad qualities. And obviously we didn't get to go more in depth into him. And the moral to the story kids is crime can pay. It is actually quite funny because these are just thieves. Yeah. And we've made them the leads of like a hero of a movie. The heroes of a movie. It happens in the West all the time. All the time. But you don't see it a lot in India where the bad guy is the good guy. The good guy. True. He's technically not a good guy though because he's just a thief, right? I mean, if he was giving it away, I guess you could call him a Robin Hood. Or if he was stealing from really corrupt people. Well, I think he is. You do? Because they were all politicians and businessmen. And so that's why none of them reported this because it's all black money. Even the jewelry place at the end? The Opera House jewelry place? That wasn't a... Yeah, I don't know about that. Okay. Anyway. I thought that was just a fun, but they did end up stealing from them. So I don't know about that one. So you could have said they were Robin Hood, but they weren't. They kept the money themselves. Yeah. And so that... I don't mind it. You don't see a lot in Indian cinema having the people not be this totally perfect... Yeah. And I really... It was just a retelling, I guess. And I'm guessing they really took what they knew based of the true incidents. And because the true incidents don't have a lot of the stereotypical complexity of, say, an Ocean's Eleven, which is a fabricated story, they made up for that again. Just shout out to the team that did. The lighting needs to be credited as well, because when you have that much movement going on with camera, you have to make sure all your shots are lit. So the tech... Everybody on crew just did a spectacular job. I enjoyed it. We are batting a thousand right now on the watch along, so that's great. Yeah, we really are. To have a bunch of good ones. It helps. Thanks for suggesting them. Thank you. And I'm glad we finally got to some Akshay. And he was in water! Yes. I would love to get to more Akshay because he's won, even though it feels like we've seen a ton of him because we've seen hundreds of songs probably. He's the king of cheese. But this is only, I think, our fourth technically full-on Akshay film. I feel like it needs to be a lot more. Yeah, it sure does. So let us know what the next... Also, before I do that, let us know about the real people. Because what happened to them? Have they not found the people yet? Because that's what somebody said is at least the main guy. They said the main guy still hasn't been found or caught, I guess. But let us know what the next Akshay film should be. There's, like I said, there's tons I want to get to. Padman, Toilet, Holiday, Airlift, and then Hair Perry. And we're anticipating OMG too. OMG too, which I'm quite interested in. Having a more modern adaptation and Pankaj. I love Pankaj. But let us know what the next Akshay film should be. What should be our next Watch Along as well. If you watch this on YouTube, obviously you saw a very cut-up version. If you'd like to see the full-on cut version. And other Watch Alongs that we've done, been doing a lot lately. Yeah, we have.
