 thanks you just you just sniffed that like uh buddy did when he poured whiskey into his coffee yeah yeah you have whiskey in your coffee no oh too bad i could put i haven't tried old monk in coffee i don't want to i have to risk it with a second cup anybody tried old monk in coffee sounds really weird i don't know if that would be good or not ever seen an old monk in coffee hey welcome back to our stupid reaction to Corbin i'm happy 2022 welcome to the new year welcome to the new year yep we're gonna do all of our reactions in the nude please don't our naked reactions reviews would go way down oh yeah uh subscribe a mass unsubscribe uh anyways uh like we did last year we are doing our 2021 yes it would be the 20 for the 2021 2021 year but this is a 2022 i guess awards i don't i don't the dummies the dummies yeah the dummies uh last year was the first year we did it which are not like the razzies we call them the dummies but we mean them to be good yeah it's because it's stupid reactions and stupid and dumb you know you get it uh but yes so last year was the first year i believe that we did it um and uh so this is going to be not our favorites this is a we're treating this like it's basically an award show the oscars yes and so we're treating everything from an artistic point of view yep uh not like um how i love to me rock bar anthony right and that's one of my favorites of the year right just because i can enjoy that a lot that's not going to make the list of uh awards right um so this is like if this was the oscars or what i i i national award i guess is the yeah technical and artistic amirite always measuring it by the the standards at least when i do these kinds of things i'm thinking about it in terms of what would uh what would the oscars do i would say sags but when we're doing sags it's just acting whereas the oscars incorporate all aspects of filmmaking so and last year we did do tv we only got to two shows this year correct and a documentary so uh we didn't have enough to do an awards yeah basically you can give samantha for supporting yep and then everything else to main heaven i guess yeah if you and documentary goes to that documentary right guess if that's best documentary is the only one we watched it was a good one yep uh but yeah so this will be all film and the way we did this is we narrowed down to there's mostly five range category some have a little more because i couldn't decide um and and we kind of narrowed it down between how big did we make our picture nominees because i sent you like 10 options and 12 yeah okay i couldn't decide yeah i couldn't decide that's okay because the oscars as i i agree the oscars broadened their best picture uh grouping to 10 it used to only be five which is ridiculous thankfully it's the most it'll be 10 i'm five yeah um but and also we did not deliberate on uh who wins so yeah we don't know which other choices we're gonna figure out uh based off right off the back his choice might be different than my choice also another disclaimer this makes no sense this is all the films of the 80s some of the films that we watch this year from the 1950s to the 2021's that's right so it's not really fair but that's just what we're doing if we do we if you've been around long enough i think you would know that we take things into consideration like if we were doing visual effects we are going to take into consideration a film say like uh moguliazum and what the standards were for the day and compare that to say something like menali mineral morati yeah and and they're obviously the visual effects and anything they're done today are better comparatively but we we take into consideration what was going on at the time at the time yeah so yeah it doesn't really make sense because obviously there's different years and this is only 2021 that we saw so the films that we saw last year some people like well what about super de la we saw that two years ago that's not going to be on this list right it's only the ones we actually watched and reviewed this year so for all those disclaimers welcome to the 2021 dummy awards the best theme song ever for an award show and we're gonna start off with one of our favorites uh that we wish the oscars would do it's stunt ensemble stunt ensemble and uh when i looked over the uh the nominees and i'm looking at my what i've selected we looked over the nominees uh it's all 2021 films it wasn't on purpose no but this i mean uh yeah it's like it just worked out that way to uh all these films that in this category are all from 2021 yeah um but so first and foremost sardar uddan i'm gonna say uh you need to read these sorry yeah better menali morali sure shot and then we've shortened ggvv that's gami you know what that one is ggvv the kind of the film and then uh i'll butcher this one but it's the boxing film sarpata param barati the tamil boxing film right um so this is for stunt ensemble yes rick ready yeah three two one sardar udda that was my second that was the one i originally picked and then i was looking back at it and i thought i really appreciated the work that was done in sure shot so i leaned over there those are the two that i was in between no problem with the binks uh because that was i actually was thinking that way sardar uddan was amazing yeah for military wise that was some of the better um stunts we've seen it was between those two for me as well yeah um could really go either way that'd be one of those if we're watching the oscars as long as one of those two got picked we'd be happy yeah i mean everyone on this was was really good worthy yeah those two are especially worthy like if they did stunt ensemble i'd love for the boxing movie to be noticed because they did especially when we saw it on the heels of tufan the the the boxing coordination and the the room for error is so small in that close encounter stunt work for for for boxing that yeah it's worth honorable mention there the effects is our next visual effects friends and that's so that's um just you know yeah you know what that is uh so sure shot is one of the first ones that's on there sardar uddam is on there uh bo bo minimal rally yes and yes bahubali two what bahubali two made the list yep it had i think it probably would have made the list of visual effects just from the reaction we had to the one with the boat and the clouds i remember how blown away we were by that um uh but yeah it's gonna be interesting to see what the choices are between the two of us here yeah okay three two one minimal rally that was my number two yeah sincerely men are always really good sure show was my number two and for the same reasons i selected minimal rally what they did with so little and how they did it and considering it could have been so bad in so many ways and they had to be very creative nowhere to spend their money a lot of it was small which is what i love about the visual effects in in i thought about that one sure shot but the the visual effects were just better in sure shot it was it was hollywood level from agreed we watched that one agreed and that for me i can't discount that reality they are it is the better one i just think the bang for your buck yeah the astonishment of what they accomplished and when i say hollywood level i mean the amount that hollywood spends on their and we know that we do we know that they use indian visual effects companies for a lot of hollywood films they get so buttered we're talking about the money guys yes now this one is actually really interesting that i couldn't find there's only four in this category it's and we talked about this i think at some point yeah but the lead actress wasn't that way from not at all it was only the supporting actors and i don't know why maybe i'm just overlooking something that i that i we loved so much but yeah it was this one was probably the hardest one yeah not that there weren't like good ones but there weren't like the ones that i was like jumping out jumping off the screen it was crazy but anyway uh these four i thought did really really well say their names uh serbian chowla and parched uh russika dubal and kisa ronnie mccurgy and hey rom and then shifali sha in monsoon wedding and i think those are all legitimate good ones and i wonder if part of the reason for that is because number one there aren't a lot of really uh character actor well written interesting supporting actress roles in a lot of the films that we've seen that are this year yeah yeah there was a lot of good great leads yeah fantastic leads yeah uh but anyways uh ready yes let me look at what i select the tier make sure i'm doing this okay yes three two one russika dubal ah nice russika in in kisa yeah uh our dose and we're not just picking our ghosts by the way we would never do that but she's our dose to we happened to have interviewed happened to have interviewed so for all of your other nominees if you get interviewed by us yeah you could also have a dummy you could also win a dummy yeah she was kidding she was amazing uh everybody in that film was amazing yeah every single person in those we love their performances um i the the thing for me was this there was a there was something something extra about the challenge of that particular role the nuances we and it just of all of those the ones that stayed with me the longest were her and serving shallow from parched yeah uh so yeah yeah i guess we're agreed on that one now the actor in a supporting role this is an interesting category very interesting very interesting category all over the place so we got kk menon gula phenomenal performance yes and we debated on whether that was a lead a leader supporting i think it was more supporting because uh probably time you know based off of what happened in the film i'm not gonna give it away because go watch and oftentimes the difference between a leading and supporting is just screen time yeah so uh kk menon gula yep uh on its side in kai poche yes phenomenal job i think that would make a lot of you happy to recognize that we recognized how freaking good he was in that film uh ruggled bows as well bull that i think would surprise people for that film but he was great and we loved him in that film um i'll mispronounce your name sir but it's a pasu pati from sarpata param barati he's the uh the coach who we completely missed in the other actually no that was uh incorrect well it wasn't him it was apparently they went him and that guy went to the same school oh okay i feel better about myself the way the guy explained it to me the english was i thought it was i thought it was the same actor yeah so okay they went to the same school got it got it sorry same theater program and then last but definitely not least how could we not say kushwa magumbo kushwa amrishpuri amrishpuri we watched mr india this year yeah and so they came out millennia ago but he was that good in that film um that is that film uh so how could you not this one you want to list this is a tough one this is one of the hardest ones agreed and i it'll be interesting to see what you choose because i think it's between two to be to be honest and two that it could be i could have picked at least four of these yeah for sure i could have picked at least four uh this is so difficult okay anyways three two one amrishpuri magumbo yeah kushwa it's i came down to just it's iconic yeah it's iconic i will say this over and over again about the oscars and we've often had arguments about this sometimes but i know that one of the criteria for some not all academy members at some academy members and this is the criteria i have for a lot of things is will i remember this whether it's the visual effects the editing the acting the film whatever it is 50 years from now will people be talking about it and remembering it and i think 500 years from now people will remember this role it is one of the best screen roles ever this is one of the hardest categories because i could have picked kk men and kk men and we're both fantastic yeah and the rakhubos did a phenomenal job and i'm it as well yeah but yeah there's just the iconic level of amrishpuri and i bet all of the other people who are in that group would say yeah i can't disagree with you yeah it's gotta go to the legend it was sad because he wasn't in there i don't even know how i'd pick because i would be all of them it would be a big role of the dice to determine well if he was not in the conversation but of all of you to be but he was yes um anyway it's next one another extremely difficult really difficult category here score i will be i i'll be shocked if we pick the same one because it's such a hard category so score sarda udam katya kaljit gusali joda akbar minnal morali and i think many of you will be happy that we remembered this but fanry because we talked a lot about that and i'm sure there's some other scores out there that you're gonna say what about i think i i think i had 11 when i this was hard he said it to me i added i think six more on there um this was a really hard category uh three two one kajar kaljit gus i'm sorry the morathi one um and i just actually second year in a row that a morathi film has won my because the last year it was um the orchestra the or thing from LA so much yeah from um sorry my name is syrah film syrah yeah um yeah this that i that film was the was the score and this it was like i think 70 score 70 percent i can't i can't disagree with that so so so good and i it was i loved all these scores joda akbar is joda akbar for me obviously icon obviously we reacted to every single song in that thing before we saw the film it stood up as did the accompaniment of everything in between uh fanbree this was hard yeah this was this was not an easy very difficult yeah category yep next one production design and for those of you who aren't familiar with what production design is production design incorporates set construction props and the overall look of a film everything other than hair makeup and costume and the visual effects but kind of visual effects get incorporated into that because it's the overall feel of the film in the way everything looks on film as captured by location set things of that nature oh this category crazy so here the nominees for production design sardar odham bulbul mugalia zam joda akbar and minnow morale this is a crazy crazy could go to any of those and i could see why people would be upset why one would be chosen over another but i i have a very i for me was this is who it is and i i have no problems fighting for it i'm trying to i'm trying to i have to rethink oh there's like three there is definitely all right three two one sardar udham can't blame yeah i i was can't blame you i that was the one i was going back i was like it was so so good this year but i'm for the time and i owe joda akbar could also i know joda akbar was right up there for and that's why it's it's not really fair because obviously these were made in complete no and again and minnow morale gets honorable mention to be included because we recognize how good the production design was on that film particularly budget constraints this was specifically a this year award it would definitely be sardar udham a thousand percent yeah um uh and that that for me is uh i think like you don't you know it could be argued you don't have production design as good as sardar udham without a film like joda akbar or moogle liazzam yeah i just found comparatively as good as the production design was in moogle liazzam the production design for sardar udham yeah it was amazing blew my mind it was amazing yeah it would absolutely like if it was like an oscar contender it should have been uh in terms of like if this was an american film yeah it would have been nominated for production design multiple multiple categories yeah it is for it's for me without we said this during the review sardar udham isn't just one of the best movies we saw from india for me it was it's that's one of the best films i've seen this year yeah period yeah it was absolutely amazing from any region in the world next is sound sound i want to go over that the sound nom go to sardar udham kala shersha the great indian kitchen which might surprise many of you and the uh the little film that could and gets into pretty much every category right now is uh middle morale um because it was it was that good it was really really good but i have a very this one for me as good as all these were uh there was a close second but this one wasn't difficult for me i don't know about you uh and you want to explain what sound is yeah so the the academy here will differentiate sound with sound editing and sound mixing because they are different we just incorporate both oftentimes it does go to both but it is a different discipline we didn't want to get into the technicalities of it number one i don't think we're qualified to do it because we know how to recognize good sound but um i have a friend who's a sound editor and he would know the difference between the sound mixing and the sound editing i don't have the year for that because it's not our wheelhouse but it's basically everything that's taking place in the film other than the score so every sound effect whether it's live action caught on set or if it's fully stuff that's put in afterwards as a special effects sound uh any and it's also the way that it's done so that's why for example the sound in great indian kitchen can be in the same category as a film as big as like shisha or sardar udam because it isn't about how much sound there is it's about the way the sound is captured and how it's presented in the midst of the storytelling and how it's used in the storytelling is that a good explanation yep all right so here we go three two one shisha oh i was guessing you'd say that because you had included it because that's your inclusion that is mine obviously i love that film a lot more than yeah and i didn't include that on my list but when i saw it on the list i went i bet he puts it there um yeah every single one even more than great indian kitchen yeah yeah for for sound yeah okay just it was going back and actually looked at some scenes uh from that film um and a review and it was i was obviously i like that film a lot but the the sound editing of it and and what it made you feel was not only the fight scenes um but like just the the nature aspect sure yeah because its own character i it was so good i could have made an argument also for sardar udam and seersha as well yeah um but what do you think yeah seersha seersha yeah i just i just the it's one of the best military films and i as you all know i like that even more than i like usually goes to military yeah and i loved uri but that was one of the things i found so incredible with that film was and it goes with the visual effects aspect of it that that just the matching of sound uh it's it's extraordinary the work that was done on that film yeah and it usually goes to military films because they're so hard to do like i don't know if you know this about a military film i think i mentioned this a couple years ago but if you've seen or if you haven't please do see um uh hacksaw ridge oh yeah hacksaw ridge is a great film but i went to a screening of that and gibson was there doing a q and a who directed it as well was his sound team who's also the sound team that won oscars for the lord of the rings it was the same sound people what's amazing about the sound and hacksaw ridge is the only audio they took from location shooting in the battle sequences the only audio they took were voices every other sound you hear in the battle sequences including footfalls is all post-production yeah incredible next is editing yep um so the nominees are sardaruda which means every single every category uh kala uh-huh shersha minna minari and say the last one i can't mispronounce sarati parambare i know it's a mispronunciation forgive us and by the way for editing it for those who are not accustomed to what you look for in editing uh it's one of my favorite things i've talked i talked about this in theater class i don't remember i did this with you in class but there's a uh a sequence in open range that was directed by um um why is my brain not working today good grief he stars in it too dances with wolves kevin costner um kevin costner directed open range and it's beautiful the way he edits the first 10 minutes of the film where they're out in the open range and then the next sequence when they first go into the town and when you count this just the speed of the edit clips uh it the storytelling of the editing is actors will tell you this who do film it can make or break you you can do a bad performance and the editing can make your performance great and vice versa so uh yeah it's a huge huge and important part of the storytelling process so three two one sardaruda yeah kind of that one was remarkable as well was the continuity work the last the last sequence that last 45 minutes of him and the holes if you haven't seen it please do i think you know it's about what led up to the massacre uh it's incredible yeah absolutely um that that film was this next one's equally nuts yeah it is this next category is equally nuts costume design i don't even know how you pick this one sardarudan mughalizam yeah jota akbar good gree mother india good gree and the little movie that could menari middle morali yes um that's a toughie look at that that's just come on yeah that's a toughie uh but three two one sardarudam that was my second choice that sardarudam just made you feel in that era it did it was it was it was oscar level costuming done it was and they spent a lot of money on that film to get the costumes they got it right but here's what's funny we switched and for the same reasons our production design and our costuming because i chose mughalizam for the exact same reason i felt like the the era they got um that i just couldn't not even though that was my second choice because i agree with you it's oscar level uh costuming for that era in that period so yeah and that's why this was such a hard hard category this next one's uh interesting has to maybe some surprises some people might think hair and makeup sardarudam wait a minute oh wait go go through the list then i'll say what i want to say okay sardarudam yep sardarudam sardarudam yep jota akbar hey ram and bob viswa which is your inclusion yes yes uh and it's mainly because of what they did to um the transformation of of him yeah uh it's just like in um darkest hour just what they what obviously that was uh on a much higher scale yeah it definitely does get that for that makeup transformation i'm glad you didn't say it was for the cgi tears no no obviously not that uh definitely not that no but i would agree with that and i'm i uh i'm glad you picked that i thought that most of that film was uh it done very very well yeah especially for her first time directing i thought she had a phenomenal job and um so i wanted to not no no makeup for amir akbar anthony the the orange blood you didn't want to include maybe next time next time uh but i will mention i love that film i could talk about that film all day yeah hair and makeup this is one of those and this may give you a i don't know about corbin but for me for hair and makeup the year that the revenant won makeup i when somebody wins that i really want to win i wind up running around the house i ran around the house when the revenant won because the the makeup in the revenant is so small and it's it's very very difficult to do small makeup especially that's over time so the fact that it won that might give you a little bit of a hint as to where i would lean as it pertains to the hair and makeup in this category three two what sorry it was actually between that one and the film sorry yeah for the box for the boxing right for the boxing yeah um i thought they both did so well in in in creating the period that they were in um i thought the makeup and hair for both of them was phenomenal yeah sardo dumb just on top of the costuming it was just top notch top notch at every level on everybody again the continuity of makeup because that's a big contributor to makeup and hair is continuity and if the person in the the the woundedness or the injury or even the hairstyle it's got to look the same from frame to frame and that's not just up to the continuity advisor that is up to hair and makeup to make sure it is for each they may take pictures the amount of detail and time especially when you're working on something as massive as a film like sardar udam uh so yeah but we're agreed uh next is screenwriting little disclaimer okay okay this is a hard one for us to judge the right way because we don't speak the native languages yeah um we're getting it primarily based on story whereas there's nuances with the language in an english-speaking script we can pick up on the turn of a phrase the use of poetic license the quoting of things from american literature or european literature so we understand that our choice in screenwriting is is not going to be the same as it were if we spoke the language natively it's going to be primarily based on story parched oh which is the first time that's made it on this list so far no we got parched with uh um actor the um uh supporting actress oh that's right that's right uh parched love that film we loved it ggvv kind of a film yes camprenights title sardar udam mm-hmm the great indian kitchen oh and kisa oh three two one the great indian kitchen i knew that was gonna and that might be a harbinger of things to come kids we might have had a little foreshadowing there uh the great indian kitchen uh it's it's actually it was actually between there was it was probably between great indian kitchen and ggvv i actually loved ggvv script and it was a it's a great script and parched i loved parched every single one of these yes a fantastic script but um it was just something different that we watched it in january of last year and it's still stuck in my mind that that's script of that film yeah um it's just and there's not actually there's obviously dialogue but there's not it's not a heavy dialogue film it's a lot of silence it's a lot of but it gets the story across and i thought so good yeah and this this category i did and this category is one of those where there's times in the oscars where i see all the nominees and i'm just happy they were all uh chosen and i have a personal favorite and if it wins i'm like yeah and if it doesn't i'm like oh well because i can't say the other ones didn't deserve it of all of those scripts i can't say if any one of them were picked they don't deserve it yeah it's a great hard category uh and you wanted to yeah we were doing a lifetime achievement and i felt not mistaken we've only done these awards once and last year our lifetime achievement went to earphone so we just wanted to give an honorable shout out because i think we've seen enough of his stuff and know enough about this lifetime achievement that it goes without saying that satchajit rye would get our nod for the second time of a lifetime achievement of the things we've seen in indian cinema uh would never be the same without the contributions of satchajit world cinema would never be the same highest honoree's ever got in his life for sure yes uh absolutely yep yes uh anyways next ooh we're getting into the meat potatoes meat potatoes kids cinema cinematography this one this one's freaking insane when there's actually six because i i couldn't not put any of these in here yeah parched yeah bulbul yep sardogu dam yep labor of love yep it's the first time it's gone it is first time it's on the list but it's deserving minal mulari yep and rajasthanalism ronastazha say the actual name of it because it uh ronastalam i believe is the right and it's all reviewed didn't really love the film but that point that is the highlight of that film for us it was that's all we talked about as far as absolutely gorgeous being being blown away by the cinematography it was gorgeous that film but uh so there's six in this category because i think they were all so so good and interesting to see what you yeah yeah you too i think i know which one you're gonna pick and it will surprise everybody but let's see three two one sardogu dam that's what it was i was pretty sure you'd pick bulbul yeah it's still stuck in my mind yep my favorite visually of the year it's gorgeous uh that film was so pretty yeah it's it's hard to do that one because this this is one of the cinematography is not just pretty other than just yeah of course not it's not just the aesthetic but there's other things that go into it the difficulty of the filming is something you take into consideration yeah which is part of it like again citing the revenant the revenant was all done with natural lighting and in circumstances that were brutal for the crew but you have two completely different kinds of films contributing to what they did they both had to use visual effects and big production design but the world of bulbul is so much more fantasy than sardogu dam being rooted in historical accuracy so the the measuring rod is very very different and it does just come down to pure subjectivity the cool thing about the oscars we say this every year is that in the world of cinematography that category is only voted on by cinematographers yeah so they know the ins and the outs way better than even a second actor knows enough about cinematography to be able to make a good estimate on what was hard or not but the cinematographers they know even more to help it get over the edge so sometimes when they pick a film that i didn't pick i kind of like i can't blame you know more than i do about it next category direction yes oh oh another tough one another good one parched it's shown up a lot now a lot because it was so so good it was uh iruvar sardogu dam the great indian kitchen and labor labor of love is back three two one sardogu dam which is sujeet sarkar uh yes it is and that might surprise y'all because you know how much i loved labor of love and we just raved about in iruvar oh yeah we just did how well um and how much we loved great indian kitchen but yeah sardogu dam sardogu dam to everything that just came together so so well um he's so many elements handled it incredibly well it's such a great film and he did such a phenomenal jay he's such a great i said this in the review i'd love to talk and it's the highest compliment i can give because he's my favorite director but the level of direction in this at all levels was spielberg esk it was so freaking good yeah actress in a leading role this one is this is an amazing category yeah this is real tough you want to read those names stand up radhika apte parched khanikas rudi briyani y'all remember that we didn't forget basa basavadatta chatter g in labor of love nimesha shajian in the great indian kitchen and till the time of shom in quisa such an amazing performance yes she put on socks i'm very interested to see where this goes and who was your like close second all of them yeah i think this was really this is of the categories this is the one i probably labored the most over in terms of how do i choose every single one of those has its own strength that is hard to select somebody else over but i did make a choice three two one radhika apte yeah that performance and uh it maybe i have a bias even though she's not our toast she yet yes yet uh she just did so amazing that's probably one of my not only i think one of the best films that you have one of my favorites of the year that film is so watching i love that film so good uh and she puts on such an amazing performance and she's so vulnerable but she's it so strong yes but also i can make an argument for every single one of these in this list well yeah because till the time of till the time i've seen when she was talking to earphone at the end he almost could have wanted for and that's the the only thing and it's not her fault was the way that was directed yeah i tried to disassociate myself from that and recognize that has nothing to do with her and i also the subtlety and the the the the so much being said without saying anything for namisha in the great indian kitchen and then briani was that film is her yeah i mean she carries that thing for me i felt like parched first of all it's the one that i feel like i'll remember the longest and i was so impressed with radhika's willingness to be naked and i don't just mean that in terms of what she was able to do with her body i mean in terms of what i felt she was bearing in her soul and i also think that this is a dangerous role in terms of an established actress doing something that could put her in a position where other people ridicule her for doing what she's doing and saying that what you're doing is not okay she was going out on a limb per se and saying this is something i want to do because i'm an artist that that was what gave me the and the wonder long and wonder slung helps yeah i love the one i mean any role that you're in and you're playing opposite wonder slung it's gonna elevate your performance god it's my favorite part yeah uh actor in a leading role another incredibly difficult one also one that has six because i couldn't decide yeah um vicky kosho yep sarduludam yep ritwik cekorti yep labor of love yeah uh susan in kaipoche rajeti and ggv v phenomenal performance fa fa in one of the five films he came out of this year no uh this one specifically for joji but it also could have been um malak yeah as well i went back and forth on on which one i thought he had great performances but i thought this one was more memorable for me uh and then noah's and monto uh our ghost our ghost i love our we can say that about our dose um this is this one was incredibly incredibly difficult for me this one's really really hard you know what's the most surprising one for me because i didn't expect it to be as good as it was and i think we said this during the review was both our actor and supporting actors from kaipoche yeah how good i was not expecting award level performances from them in those roles especially the newcomer at the time yeah shashan absolutely yeah three two one rajeti yeah i almost went with rajeti he had such amazing performance i had selected vicky and thought i was done and then at the last minute this was last night i thought 50 years from now i'll be i'll be remembering the film sardar udam probably more but i'm never gonna forget raj and that dance sequence in the ring yeah yeah absolutely i use it was between those two for me i think as well um but the the vicky the the range he's now shown the emotion you can't argue with that he's so so good no i'd be happy if if it was the oscars and he won and raj didn't i'd be a little bit disappointed because i felt like raj deserved but i couldn't be unhappy with vicky being chosen absolutely and now the drum roll everybody best picture the best picture overall overall and this is all 80 something films that we saw this yes and that we're all from very different years yep so there's 12 films one nominated ggvv the film the great indian kitchen manal urali labor of love jota akbar briyani mughal e azam it's been a great year the big city yeah phenomenal uh from uh yep our our future toast uh such is a ride sardar udam shocked it made the list really surprised uh parched sarp say it yeah sarpata param barai and this is my entry love yeah i couldn't not we could not put it obviously it's my entry if you saw the review you know exactly what it was it was corporate uh ice every single time it came up i was like oh that film was so good i hate the film because he's dumb uh but anyways oh this list we had a lot of good films and now now there's not only award worthy films that we had this year but in terms of just entertainment yeah we had very few bad films i feel like i agree that i i would say enough of those films i'm looking at that and i'm thinking to myself there's a bunch of those that i added to my all-time favorite list just period love yeah no but after we make the selection there's something that needs to be said in regard to measuring because like we said we're spanning 50 years of cinema here if not more i think yeah i think it's actually maybe maybe 60 years of cinema uh and what what it is that would make you choose one versus another so yeah here we go three two one the great indian kitchen and that's that's why i said earlier for a shadowing of things to come it was never not that film for me i know that film that wouldn't surprise stupid babies either uh the same for me i think they would all know that would be that was and and i guess you can tell now which film for 2021 we also thought was the best film because yeah both those were from 2021 those are both from 2021 now here's to say uh how do you say that those two films would be considered the better picture than say joda akbar or mughal e azam here's yeah it's hard it's hard to do that um and it's why this is not really no and if somebody said like i'm sure if we because that's what um air roman said his favorite film one was was mughal e azam and i think of i told him that i picked sardar uddam this year over mughal e azam he'd say you're nuts mughal e azam's a much better film than sardar uddam but mughal e azam has the benefit of standing the test of time yeah sardar uddam doesn't have that benefit just yet and i think when you consider the the for me yes it's incomparable mughal e azam but what that film accomplished what sardar uddam accomplished and the importance level of telling a story from history that ought never be forgotten and thankfully now it's captured on celluloid so that people can see it and hopefully never forget it and to be done at that level of quality and there's something to be said about a film that actually had good white actors in it that pushed it over the edge for me just the white actors just the white actors but i can't again i have no bone to pick if these were if this was the oscars and great indian kitchen one i would not be unhappy with that having one i would think ah i really think sardar uddam deserved it but i can't say that great indian doesn't it just came down to it's a great film there are no flaws in great indian kitchen not one um and the only i could find one flaw and i thought sardar uddam was a slightly long film uh didn't bother me go watch the film it's an amazing film but that was that was basically what it came down to really i can't yeah i have a flaw in great for me it came down to importance remembrance in 50 years from now and the size and the scope and how many other things could have gone wrong in sardar uddam versus um the intimacy and the smallness of great indian kitchen but again it's it's very much uh how do you compare um i was talking about this with somebody recently about the current roster of films that are in the awards consideration here for sags globes and oscars and i was comparing a film the two completely opposite kinds of films because in the conversation you get that and it's like saying how do you compare honeycomb to icicles they have they have they're they're in nature so they have that in common so like there's these two films but they're so completely different how do you say which one was better for me it always goes back to the size and the scope of the accomplishment and how difficult it was to actually make it become good and the importance level yeah yeah um but also i know it didn't win any awards minnow minari was a fantastic film i think we would have had it in like 10 categories yeah yeah also it it it the villain didn't make the acting category i probably could have if i would have put in we could have because he was the one i even though i i was very sad that he didn't make it i thought he was phenomenally absolutely we could have i probably just should have added him on an extra spot because i believe he deserved it because yeah he was so good in that film but anyways yeah and i think we did that last year we did some honor roll mentions because there were so many things in other categories me me yeah i struggled not putting her on yeah but when i saw the strength of those other roles i thought i can't yeah in terms of just enjoyment that was probably one of my just enjoy most enjoyable film absolutely and angry film of the year uh that film was so good and and creedy was so enjoyable in that so so yeah it's uh there you go i hope you enjoyed it let us know what you thought your picks would be and why we are idiots yep and hopefully we got to ad plus this year hopefully next year we'll get to 100 yeah which was the first year i think we did like 60 and then in 2020 we did like 68 or something like that and then this year we blew it out of the water comparatively we did like 80 how many 82 or 83 we're trying to get to 100 this year and you know what i'm doing this year i've i'm already keeping a list so it's fresh on my mind of the films like when we see a film and i'm like okay i'd nominate this for dot dot and dot i'm keeping a running town that's probably good for me personally is here let us know what you thought down below
