 With a mouth sounds really necessary at the end there. Hey, welcome back to your stupid rakes and the poor man I'm Rick and he falls in Instagram Twitter for more Content thanks a patron following true to count scribe you haven't like but there's some patreon phones Which is to conscribe you haven't I did I just say those words you did you got confused and distracted because before we started recording I whacked SRK. Yeah, you did whacked off SRK right behind him Hey when that happens today, we're doing a movie review Kind of Yeah, well, you'll I'll explain I'll explain don't worry We're reviewing the new film that just came out a Hindi film and action hero Starring a Ushman and our Dost Jai deep Directed by Anarude ire Who directed I? Thought he directed something we'd seen anyways and no this is actually if I'm not mistaken This is Anarude's debut as a director helming a film. Yeah What did he do with his other stuff has done like assistant AD? Like assistant director not assistant AD AD Okay, yeah Okay, but he also wrote it as well. Yes Along with somebody else Sorry, I'm not on the right page here and Composed by say that one. There's two names for that credit. Farid Kut is the one name and Rajesh Rajarishi Sanyal Okay, and so normally with new films we do a non-spoiler review because we want to make sure people can go see it without being spoiled, right? And then we warn you and before we get into before we get all the spoilers unlike most critics who Still feel the need to just tell you the whole story to themselves. Yes The reason I'm saying this is because I don't know if we can non-spoiler review this We were talking about this in the car We don't normally talk in the car because we want to keep our thoughts fresh We're pretty silent in the car usually we want to keep our thoughts fresh dialogue for here So you guys can see it And I can't really tell you why because if I tell you why Because I I my thoughts aren't even completely Hashtag about this right I can't tell if I it didn't like it or if I think it was brilliant Well, see I I'm okay on that regard, but there's just the main thing Corbin brought up in the car was how do we do this as a non-spoiler because Here's what I can say in the non-spoil section And you'll for those of you who've seen it when we begin to spoil it you'll understand and you probably understand already understand why we can't but if You're one of the people wanting original storytelling in Hindi cinema. Yeah, go see it. Yeah go support it very especially very original especially if you speak Hindi Yeah, because I think along with certain things about it in terms of references One of the reasons I think that I don't know if we're fully qualified even review, right? That's film, right? There's I think somebody because I've heard this from many people people I trust as well But does somebody just put because I post about it that we were going to see it on Twitter Yeah, and he said subtitles do not do it justice to Jadip's comedic timing sure and straight-face humor I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard throughout an entire film. It's just frickin hilarious And that's not the first time I've heard that of course I laughed some I Would not even consider this a comedy So that's that's because it's lost on us and also the either the subtitles and so that's that's that's something I'm trying to get across Is that not only are there references that I don't know if we're qualified and also subtitles? There's also so much going on in this. Yeah that I Don't even fully understand What I saw and we want to hash it out and we'll talk about it in the exact way and we can't tell you that So it is we can tell you it's very very original. Yes It's very intelligent. Yeah, and it probably is hysterically funny Yes, if you're a native Hindi speaking person and you particularly understand the Indian culture of Media movies Politics and things like that. Yes anything more we say. Yeah, we'll give spoiler story needs to tell you So so I would just if you haven't seen it go watch it and then you can come back and talk to us or go see somebody Who's maybe a Hindi speaker and they have a non-spoiler review right can watch? I think they'll probably a little more qualified right this is going to be more I think of a discussion about The film then an actual full-on like our normal style of breaking down everything because I think the most interesting part to me is The entire concept of the film. It's the concept of the film I want to talk about the most so like I said Our non-spoilers just go watch it and come back form your opinion and then come see Let's talk about the film and yeah spoilers. So this is a little different than our normal stuff I'm sorry, but if you've seen it you might understand why So Not we're in spoilers spoiler go away go away if you have not seen the movie Go see the movie. I don't want to spoil. Yeah stuff for you and I can't even tell you why okay, so We said this in the car. Yes the very first sentence we would have for the film is that It's a movie that is Representative oh so many not To be taken as a real action movie. Yes. What's funny Is to see how many people will see the film And leave and their takeaway will be I really liked a eushman karana in that action film That was actually like an hour in I was like what the fuck is this exactly like None of this is believable. What the fuck is going on. What's going on? Why where's the where's the where in the spoilers? Yeah, I want to say that again. You should have already seen it. I just want to repeat that because like I was like I How the fuck can you do all this shit exactly right how the why it's illogical How can he jump across buildings right and then subsequently in the second half can't break through a window right? Why is jideep not shooting him in the goddamn phase every time he gets shot to police officers right right in broad daylight It's because so I was like everybody's representative. Yes. It's all representative in that part. I was like, oh my god Why is everybody saying this film's amazing right? Why? I don't get it and then like obviously as the film goes on you You kind of more understood even though I was already aware I was like something is going on Is this entire thing a movie like is this like is this gonna be like I'm met in like he's gonna be in a trance He comes out and it's right. It was a big movie Like all this kind of really didn't take place. Yes, and I don't even know if anybody can actually answer It because in the second half when we he was being interrogated And they basically were the audience right and they said that's That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard right. It's not believable in the slightest. What are you talking about right? Like why should I believe you right and then obviously he comes in with you know, if you put a Yeah, maybe I did it. Maybe I didn't do it I'm a I'm an actor. Yeah, so what do you care? What do they care? Obviously this had a shit time to say about the media It had a lot to say about the media about clickbait about uh Relativity and becoming truth and everybody's just saying something because they want to say it to gain eyeballs about the power that a movie star has to Cover up stuff whereas the commoner doesn't where one day they're being vilified the next day. They're being deified Yeah, it's smart. Yeah, it's so there's a whole and like I said, there's a whole bunch in this that even us Four years into this that are more than probably most Americans Do not get all the I get a lot of the references. There's a bunch of stuff I get I'm not saying that But there's so much like I know certain things about the media like the the thing that they were playing off of in the media I like I know the the big meme of the the nation wants to know right that guy I know I know of him and hashtag. Yeah said hashtag boycott. Yeah I know of those things But I don't watch the media that media regularly and we know there were very specific references wink wink nudge nudge To very specific celebrities and things. Yes and certain things that happen I know all that but there's probably a billion other things in this film. Yeah that Completely went over made that probably made this film even better for some people. Right. Yeah. Um, and so that's why I'm like I feel like like I don't fully understand a lot of the things that happen And I just like need to kind of talk it out like what's j.i.d. actually just a reference of the audience Like or the common man And I think why was he chasing? Why didn't he ever kill him? I and I I well Yeah, yeah, why would you think like I don't I don't know because we don't know what actually happened But I think it's because the primary goal on the writing wasn't to have a thoroughly believable through line and plot as much as it was to show the representative characters Who could kind of morph in and out sometimes of who they were representing But as they represented what they represented It it also kind of tongue-in-cheek for itself showed you how The way the media and celebrity can change their narrative It did it itself. Yeah on its own And made you have to forgive it for it. Yep the way That happens in media the media. Yeah, and if I ever you see it started I thought the cops in the beginning were very funny. That was probably some of the funniest parts Like when they were first introduced he was like and the dead body on the side Yeah, that that moment was funny when he said, I love the cool breeze I love feeling this way and the dead body on the side of the road Yeah, it was funny and then like they made them get so obviously this had stuff to say about the police as well of The journalist informing the police. Yes about what they what what's going on not them Figuring out and telling the it's it was like the opposite direction So obviously this This film has a lot to say about the goings on in bollywood the media the police The audience in general and how they treat stars. You know what they believe, you know what it reminds me of I think this is the best way I could give somebody an analogy of it So you've probably seen these on tiktok on twitter on youtube They're the the the reporters. Yeah who go to trump rallies. Yeah And ask the questions And the people there say things that are definitively contradictory But they don't see it and the reporters agreeing with them nodding their head and all the time You know that there with us the audience going Oh my goodness. That's what this film is to the entertainment and celebrity and politics In india specifically in india in the same like I wrote down some films that we have an american cinema that that fall Far more into the dramatic realm. I don't know of a film that's like this, but say like American psycho. Did you see american psycho with christian bail? No, that's actually one i've never seen one of the big classics. I've never seen obviously fight club. Yeah american psycho is a Take on corporate america. Yeah, it's representative. It's not supposed to be a real story a little yeah It's a it's supposed to be representative of the cutthroat capitalism of american society at the time it was made But it's far more straightforward and linear in its representativeness than then this is well, this was also Since india and it Its action films are incredibly unique Yes, especially like with the introduction of the big south mass films right that it's also playing off of with the hero worshiping So that india and their action films are very specific Yes, there's that's why west is going crazy for rr. They've never seen anything like that right ever um And so that it's a very unique circumstance Which was funny because I felt As it pertains to the action sequences I thought they were kind of underwhelming. Yeah, I think that may have been on purpose And I think it was on purpose because one of the underwhelming points and I think this was on purpose every slap punch kick and elbow Used the exact same sound At the exact same sound level Except for the opening scene where he's filming it and there's no sound Yeah, and it was so funny to watch because you're not getting the sound and I thought at one point that's It's gotta be intentional and we're not really seeing any mind boggling usual stuff Which I think was another kind of like the other thing Did you notice that this was a predominantly Male film like the only female character is one of the news people And the item girls in the song numbers. Yeah, there's there's no heroine. There's no mother There's no daughter. There's no sister. There's no love interest. There's no women. There's no female cop chasing him There's no women. I think there was one female British police officer For a split hot second. Yeah. Yeah, which is another thing of okay. You want patriarchy. Here you go Here's all the guys here's all the guys and all the mental all the roles I think that's another thing with the indian action films are the very very very male heavy Yeah, and and male focused. Yeah, which was another reason why in the item number It was like Welcome to bosom city. Yeah, right And now that sequence was so interesting because I was already confused We were going what the hell is going on because we knew this wasn't reality No, yeah, yeah, we knew that like I was like, I know the proverbial shoe is gonna drop at some point and we're gonna figure out What the fuck is what the fuck is happening to me right now, right? Exactly because this is not real I know this is not real um Or supposedly we're right. It's a story that somebody's telling a story representative. Yeah. Yeah, right um But that sequence obviously when that guy came in and you know the con the Terrorist you presume terrorist. Yeah, I didn't know one if we were supposed to know who that person was right So if that was a real reference once again went over my head me too I just I was like, okay. It's a terrorist and I know that Actors and Bollywood's throughout Its history have performed for rich people and gone to parties to dance and perform for people who are supposed terrorists Yes, and but also the the tie-in of the mafia. Yes was in there I know all that and so I cut all right, but like the fact that like It was it was like incredibly almost meta like that whole sequence happened You don't know what's going on then he goes into a party And then he knows the dance already and he's like this is incredibly meta That got really meta at that point Of the film and then he started talking to jai deep asking jai deep if he's the audience I'm like, is this just going on in his mind? Yeah Well, that's the thing with jai deep if jai deep is representative of the audience, right? Who is trolling and saying we hate this and has every opportunity to kill it He doesn't but never does yeah constantly even when he's shooting it at point blank range at the party I think that's one of the funny moments I bet the audience is when he shoots and then the next shot you see them sitting side by side I bet audience is roar. Yeah over the fact that No matter what happens. He's going to complain. He's going to say I'm going to kill you He's going to say I hate you, but he's still going to let him be. Yeah, and This review is very strange to me because very very I'm not going through like the different because I don't even know if I Deep and uh, uh, good job. Obviously jai deep. He has such a screen presence. I love jade break Um, but like it feels like a film that I can't even Break down like that because I'm just having to break down What the film is and it took it took a while to unveil itself to me in terms of I really at at the front half of it, which I think was intentional Felt like we're watching an action film and not a good one like because it's like a bunch of unbelievable It was unbelievable stuff and it also pacing wise was boring me I was just sitting there waiting to find out Why should I care about this? Why didn't I need to shoot? Yeah, why didn't he kill you? Is this just poorly written? And then when I realized like when you leaned over to me and said, what the hell is going on? Is this meta? I was like I was in the same place thinking Something's going on. There's gonna be something representative. Yeah And and because of that and because I think so much was lost Yeah, I was bored in a lot of in a lot of the film I get that. Yeah for sure. Uh, it was more like I almost felt like you at times because you always harp on Films for doing something that strains credulity Right, and it was like so much right. I knew it was like god. I feel like rick I knew this was absolutely intentional. Yeah, uh, like that's how I felt and I was like, I don't want to feel like rick. God damn it But obviously like it's I'd be so interested to actually talk to In indian who got to who is from india and it lives with all this media and lives with All these references. Yeah real stories that is probably being portrayed on screen that that they're seeing every day in their life And so like to hear their take on it and what all these things meant and I think it's a very smart film. It's very smart Really really intelligent and very subversive. Yeah, so I I I do enjoy that It's better. I don't know if it's meant for Non-indians. I agree. I don't think you can We can't get yeah, we've been in it for four years. Yeah, we can't fully get it Not to say that like it's a bad film at all because I think it it did what it's supposed to right But in terms to I think to really get this film you've need to have been An indian immersed in the media immersed in the culture immersed in all these references Yes for your entire life agree to really fully appreciate this film that I think I think That's why I was bored through a huge portion of the first half was because I don't get that stuff. Yeah, I will say Because I think we understand where he was coming from to make this and his intention um A film that I did not like that is also supposed to be a subversive Parity representative thing was don't look up. Okay. Yeah, this is way smarter than don't look up Don't look up was I just didn't understand why it had to be so dumb And if which is saying a lot considering it's seen that film. I still never saw it It just there's a lot of people who liked it and there's a lot of people. I've talked to who felt like I did which was You had a great opportunity to say something and you made it just a big This was intelligently Doing the proverbial reporter at the trump rally Where as I felt like don't look up was just mocking everyone who doesn't believe the way the creators of don't look up believe Okay, even though they're right Because it's about climate change. Yeah, even though they're right it was very Uh, just If you don't see it the way we do then you are worthy of being mocked and made fun of in a way that really wasn't Intelligent whereas this was really really smart and I bet if we knew even more of it culturally We would think was even smarter and dialogue wise. Yeah, exactly if we spoke hindi Um, I think we would have gotten a lot more references and also I heard somebody say like there were song references Right when something funny was going on that the song made even more funny. I'm sure I didn't catch that certain stuff Yep, and so that's why it's why I said what I said in the beginning I was like, I don't know if we're qualified to fully review this film even though I thought the the background score was Good and also I think it did what it was it did what it was playing off of the big action Like every time jay deep entered it was almost it was actually almost adam's family Ask the it was his theme his theme and anytime somebody dropped a truth bomb There was that Very kgf very kgf and there were moments that were very mission impossible It really was kind of an homage in many respects Probably far more than we know. Yeah to action film soundtracks. Yeah Um, and it's even though it's not the smartest movie that ever bored me Without question It's the smartest movie that ever bored me That's funny. It's my fault that it bores me because I think I'm just ignorant. Yeah, it's it's I think I think that's it yeah, because Obviously if I was looking at this film just from how it was in the first half of just like Nothing was believable the actions like how the fuck does this guy know how to do all this? And I didn't care and and later in the film the guy was like You can't even punch me. You can't even break through a window your your action film my foot Action here on my foot So obviously there was a bunch of this stuff and then he could do it again and he couldn't do it again It's like there's so much meta Going on meta references that I think if if I got it more more of the humor in this because I this film if if you're laughing throughout I think that makes it a lot better. Of course And like I said, I did laugh some But I would never call this a laugh out loud film It's probably what people thought didn't get I I bet it would be comparable to somebody not from america Watching blazing saddles Oh, yeah, and thinking it's a lot more offensive that one. Yeah and thinking I don't get it. This is kind of offensive Whereas we would be dying laughing getting all of the references. Yeah, and it makes fun of hollywood as well in that That film is meta. Yeah, I just rewatched that. Yeah I think I also saw gene wilder say it's probably the most important film Yes done because it was talking about racism. It was and putting it on itself. Yes But even like the sequence the sequence of them sitting around the campfire eating beans and farting So everybody can laugh about that because they know that you know that but not Not everybody would understand that the quintessential western trope among many is Everybody sitting around the campfire having their food and he took it to the extreme of well, if they're all eating beans Why aren't they gonna have farting like crazy? Yeah, so right. Yeah, I think I think it's comparable whereas you you can fully appreciate blazing saddles as genius when you understand american culture at the time And no same thing with this after seeing this film now and seeing the full film and what it's about It's very eushman. Oh my stars. Yes. It's a hundred percent the kind of film that the fact that it has starting in it Should tell you a lot. Yeah, it has a big message It not as it says a lot that actually drops in there too. I love the fact that I love the line I did love that line when he says wait, what do you think I should do? Don't say you ever met me That was a great moment. I love that he was uh, I love that he was animated as a cameo and all that So you guys can let us know what you thought about this film and if there's more that You can explain explain it to us. Please. Yeah, show us What we miss and all that kind of stuff and I hope you I hope you did enjoy it because that's actually The predominance that I've heard of this film people loved this film that actually went and watched it It's not great at the box office But I know that people that actually watched it and that I trust Loved this film and so obviously I think if you're a hindi speaker or you can speak hindi and you've been in the culture I think you'll be able to get this film Probably quite easily and get all the references probably if you if you're big into bollywood and and you've been too bad and drawn He didn't see it with us. She might have got a probably would have picked up on a lot more Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, um, so you guys can let us know what you thought about the film Uh, and what should be the next film we watch down below
