 I prefer soft, yummy, cushy things on my behind. Not hard metal things like you. I have some soft and hard for you. Get that to yourself, Bob. Josh! Hey, welcome back to our stupid rags YouTube Corbin. I'm Monty Rotnam. Chicks out? And you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, from all juicy content. It is 5.30 in the morning here in sunny Southern California. It's true. It is a... It's just another day of sun. And you know why you're here? Yep, to watch us pole dance. Exactly. But the highly awaited new Monty Rotnam epic. Read this. Forgive mispronunciation in advance. Punean Selvin. Part one. Part one. Dommel Teaser. And it's a A.R. Rahman musical. It also has, I do believe, Ashwarya Rai. And is it Vikram in it as well? Vikram! Vikram! Yeah, that's such a great workout song, that title track. Oh yeah, I love that. Yeah, and so this is apparently, I don't know, maybe Andrani knows about it. It's one of the biggest Indian novels. She probably would. She's sleeping. It's very well known. A lot of people equate it to Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones style of... Cool. But Indian, obviously. And so it's, and I think somebody said this film costs like four to 500, how do you say the word? Crore. Yeah, C-R-O-R-E. They say it better. They always crore. Of course, because they have sounds that we don't make and... Your mom has sounds we don't make as well. That's true. Crore. Yeah, it's so funny. Whenever I try to pronounce something Andrani will laugh at me. Just call me white boy. It's gringo. It's true. It just amazes me, like if you hear... I'll ask her to sometimes say either both Bengali but especially the Hindi alphabet. And it's amazing how many things... English-speaking people, when you hear them say it, so many things sound similar, but they're not. They're clearly different, but not to us dumbos. Idiots. Yeah. Anyways, let's just get into this bad boy. Another epic on the way. Seems like we have... And did you mention our nunbar? Yes, our nunbar, A.R. Rahman, is the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. So him and Mani Ratnam have made some of the best music in Indian cinema, in my opinion. Here we go. Wow. Geez. I think... Well, that looks quite large. I think the expectation is, you're gonna get an adrenaline rush, kids. That looked pretty frickin' epic. It definitely looked like what they were saying, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings style, in terms of everybody's on horses. Like there's a bunch of almost medieval, because obviously that wouldn't be Indian. But that style of story... Yeah, it's stylistically that, but it doesn't remind me of anything per se, other than... Outside of it, it kind of reminds me of Bahubali, but a lot more grounded than Bahubali, like in the real world, as opposed to the fantasy world. Great music, too. I mean, what a shock. Also, how... I know Mani Radnam from small, intimate, kind of almost lovish kind of stories. Right. Obviously they have a lot of complexities. But deeply human stories. We know, ungranted, we've just touched and scratched the surface, but I agree, like in his resume, is there anything approximating, not necessarily the scale, but the genre? Yeah, the big, massive epic. I think I have heard people say that this has been a passion project for him for a long time. He just been, he knew the technology that wasn't there, or the money wasn't there at certain times in his career. But apparently, and apparently almost all Indians know about this story itself. And that's actually a good thing. Obviously, doing big epics is its own kind of beast, right? And so that's its own kind of storytelling that takes its own kind of skill, because there's so many different things that you need to work on, but you always need to have that human element behind it. Always. So it's good that there's a director who knows how to do, get to that good human element. Correct. Love stories. Is Ashwari Aray his muse? Because I feel like she's been in a lot of his stuff. How could she not be? How could you not? I mean, she's a beautiful woman. She's aging beautifully, and she's a very talented actress. Yeah, clearly. One thing that is cool, this, at least the trailer came out on TIPS, they're always good with a releasing copyright claim. So maybe, who knows if they will with... And the timing, thank you for releasing this when you said you would. Yes. Yes, it's such a help. We got burned by, I think it was Shamshera. It was. YRF said they were gonna release and then was like, no, it's a... I was telling that story last night to my friend Mickey, because I was explaining, we had gone to a movie last night and I was explaining he's still learning about what we're doing on the channel and amazed at translating those Hindu movies. Yeah, like my grandma said, translating the Hindu movies. But I explained that that had happened. And it is rare and thankfully, it could have been a lot later, like the times we've done stuff at two in the morning, but you show up at 11.30 and you look down and you're ready to go. And it says, yeah, Ashwari psych, 45 more minutes. Sorry, I'm looking for something. Somebody sent me something about, something that Ayer Rahman did for this in terms of he looked up like ancient old instruments from Tamil at this time period. And he like either got some made or went somewhere and found them and bought them so he could incorporate them into the music, which would be great to talk to him about obviously again, I wonder, sorry, just made me think of, remember when we first, we're getting ready to interview Ustaji Zakir Hussein, I contacted Pedro A. Ustash and said, have you ever worked with him? He's like, no, but everybody knows Ustaji. He says, I wish I've worked with him. I would not surprise me if he's worked with Ayer Rahman and maybe if he's, I'd have to go check, but because he's the kind of person that you reach out to for that. When you're trying to find an ancient instrument that nobody else can play or would make to sound like, I've told you the gladiator story. Yeah. Yeah, so he, that doesn't surprise me that Ayer Rahman would do that. And this looks like it's gonna be an absolute romp of a great movie. And there was only just one or two times that I could actually see CGI in here. So hats off to, I'm sure it's taken them a long time to actually get to this place. Because obviously it's such a massive scale. Yeah. But it looks like, or maybe a lot of it's practical. Maybe they didn't do a ton of CGI. This is gonna have some epic fight scenes. This is gonna have, look at that. That's a great shot. At a minute one, they're on a beach. It's got, yeah, this is gonna be Game of Thrones. In terms of, what you want is you wanna blend, and I know you're gonna, I'm not saying this is game, whatever, you're gonna think what you want. I want like the intimacy of the first couple seasons of the character development of Game of Thrones with also the epicness of the battles of the later scenes of Game of Thrones. Cause I think one of the only good things about the last season of the Game of Thrones was the epic fight scenes that they did, and that seems to be all that they cared about. But if you wanna kind of marry those. And maybe we'll get, I mean, if they follow the trend, we should see a Starbucks cup somewhere. We should. But yeah, it's exciting that it's Monty Rottenham because he's such a good director. It's just so interesting because he's not, I don't believe you guys, once again, let me know. He's not known for these big, massive epics. He's known for, obviously, he's a well renowned director. Right, and he can do big historical things, but not like the epics that we know of. And I'm not saying, for all we know, he's done 10 and you're gonna tell us, guys. It seems like we've gotten 10 epics this year. Yeah, it's the year of the epics. Do you think that is because most of these might have released in the past two years, what they were waiting? Probably, and I think it's also the fact that they're finally, like you said, if this was a passion project for him, and this is a story with a lot of directors who have a concept, but they wait because they either need the money or the technology doesn't exist yet. And so when they finally have both, they do it. And I think we're at a place, obviously, we've talked about this all year long, where there isn't a lag at all. India is right on the cusp of what's- of the VFX, man. They're just, I'm so excited to show people not just the quality of the artistry that we've seen in the storytelling and the acting, but now, like when you show people RRR, they're really impressed with, they had no idea that the visual effects in India were up to par with everything else going on globally. So yeah, I'm really looking forward to this. It's, and you guys can tell us because we are ignorant to the story and its legend, how much did you guys see and maybe even get the chills seen because you saw some things you recognize from the story, we would have no clue. We're coming into this completely blind. Yeah. Also, once again, we haven't seen any Vikram film, but he looked really good in this. He looked like he was gonna let his beast out. Shwarya looked gorgeous as always, one of the most striking women in all of cinema. Yep. Such a good teaser. When does it say it's coming out, does it say? I didn't see a release date. Release date in theaters on September 30th, great. 2022. When is that in relationship to Brahmastra? Brahmastra, I think is like the same month. The same month, but earlier, right? Like by a week or two? September 9th. Okay, yeah. That's great. That's a big month. That is a big month, but that gives that a couple weeks, which what I saw last night with my friend Mickey, he, huge Top Gun fan, he's seen Top Gun like 50 times, so I took him, he had not yet seen Maverick. Oh, really? And not only was it fun, it's my third time seeing it. The theater was three quarters full and that thing's been out for a month. Yeah. It's just people are, how can you not? It's a really enjoyable film, but. Oh. I couldn't get this to stop. Anyways, let us know what you thought about the trailer or the teaser and what any information that we need to know that he's not obviously giving any spoilers. Thank you. Please let us know down below. Josh!
