Yeah, they bought it gave money to them And real real burnt it. Yes. Well, most people on that side are really Today we're doing a movie review of the something that came out last year. We wanted to see it in theaters But obviously it was I think it was here for like a week or something hour. It wasn't here for very long at all And it was at a theater that was 900 minutes away from us. I don't remember where exactly it was but it This had a long wait of because it came out. I think November of last year I want to say Yeah, but it was right just came to OTT right like that's a long time. I thought it was in January It's cuz it it varies. Yeah, it's just regardless But it just came out. So we heard a lot about it. Obviously. I think it's from the same makers is Street. It is Look at my notes that huge Number of the creative team are there from Street. Yeah, that's no spoilers It's just you've got the the director. You've got the writer. You've got the proof the score starring a Dose and a couple others who are not. Yes. Hopefully future dose. Yep in Varun and creedy Yep, and I don't think did he cast it. He did. He was part of the casting team, of course I don't know if he I wonder if he does anything now that he doesn't cast do you think he does he probably I'm sure he would for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, regardless. Absolutely, but it this did come out last year So we're gonna do a spoiler review just cuz I We it came out a while ago, right? Or do you want to do a non-spoiler? Let's just to be safe. Okay. All right, let's do a non-spoiler and I'll explain why I think we should do non-spoiler at the front I think I know why yeah, but anyway, it's on geo app, which is not available in the United States We saw it in a different way, but it's on a geo app Which makes me nervous because bloody daddy is coming out on geo. Yeah app So we'll see how he's your best friend just ask him. I'll see you Whatever I do anyways, but yeah, I want you to go watch it come back But this is gonna be our little non-spoiler on spoiler first and then before we get into spoilers We'll get into it later, but it's a comedy horror thriller right thing, right? And it's basically a werewolf Right spoiler. It's in the trailer right kind of thing so Rick your initial thoughts This is why I would like to have a non-spoiler front if I didn't like the movie. I wouldn't care Yeah, but I liked the movie. Yeah, so I don't want to ruin it for people I I thought it not only was a lot of fun. Yeah, I not only thought it was really funny. I thought Specific line. Yeah, and as the one thing if you have not seen it Just please be forgiving of a team that I think did everything they possibly Could yeah with the CGI and there's just so much you can do if you don't have the time and the money which Like if they're a master budge. I'm sure yeah, and it just it's it's just it's a shame because I I Applauding to this movie is very dependent on CGI and sometimes the CGI was actually quite good Yeah, and there's other times. It's just yeah bad. Yeah. Yeah, you're rooting for it the whole time So I ultimately and I really liked it. I enjoyed it as well It's it's just it's a fun movie some from the from the same makers of street I think got a little message. I don't I think I did a little disservice because I thought it was gonna be a very similar Style to Street, right and it's not as good. It's not it's not as good as Street, and it's a different style if Street is a 100 to 95 this is gonna be more of an 80 for me. Yeah, I give it a little higher 83.9 Yeah, but It's also a different style. It was actually almost a superhero at a style And it's very original if you stick with it It feels like it's gonna be this campy what you expect silliness, but then it actually has It attempts with sincerity. It's not heavy-handed It's a real difficult accomplishment to take a film like this and and also have in it some heart and a Serious message and a really nice twist. This is not a spoiler, but I think you're gonna be Pleasantly surprised at directions. You think this is gonna go because I've not seen a werewolf movie That is quite like this one toilet. I've never seen It was actually what I was watching you sing this is who's talking about the CGI thing This is what I imagine twilight is because I was like well the funny thing is that came out like 15 years Yeah, a really great So the visual effects that I'm about to refer to are extraordinarily dated But boy were they good in the day and they're fun and campy now if you haven't seen an American werewolf in London I've never actually seen a movie. It's a fun. I never seen a movie, but it's so dated but the Transformation was at the time groundbreaking by today's standards. It's like when you used to watch the old movies from the 1950s But let's talk about a lot. Let's talk about the lead first. Yeah, I thought he did a very good job He bent it like crazy It's a good job on the I know that's probably was not a difficult Time to be at that mass level. Yeah, probably eating just raw like must have sucked like bland chicken boiled chicken and rice Must have been terrible for a long time But he did it and so shout shout out to you. I thought this is actually a very good performance I did not that it needed to be like this an amazing performance or anything, but you could also give a bad performance Really screwed it up and there's a lot of not just in the fact that he had to transform But there's a lot of demand on him physically throughout the film Yeah, he did actually a trans like the first time it's once again not a spoiler He does transform into a werewolf. It's you know that give him the trailer The first time he did it I actually thought like what they made him because he had to do all these I know I thought he did a Very good job. The you'll see again not a spoiler. He does transform, but it It's quite impressive. You're anticipating the takeover of makeup in vvfx and it's not it's just Him contorting and yeah, so yeah the demand on him physically. He I saw him Fully invested yeah in this I thought I thought he did as well. He did a very good job. Yeah, I love Creedie Creedie is always good. She's like I don't think she can give a bad performance She's just she's such a yeah, she's one performing actor as well agreed I thought she's a good job. They had some good chemistry Yeah, I thought almost all the comedy came from not all the comedy But a lot of the comedy came from Abashic a lot of it just from these half from his reaction. Yeah Yeah, yeah, at least half because he did just like it's tree As well, he gave a lot of the comedy there, but I thought the friend as well Yeah, what is their their buddy as a pal in Kabuk if you pronounce that correctly who played a Jomon their buddy He doesn't even have a picture. You know why because it's first time. It's his first film. He has no credits Another great thing. He did a great job. Another great thing about this is the northeastern representation. Yeah of this movie is huge. They like More than half the cast was northeastern. Yep, and I don't know if they were speaking northeastern at all Or if it was predominant Hindi Yeah, they made some references sometimes and so I can't pick up on that though No and purposefully again not a spoiler, but there are those moments It's wonderful where when they're speaking in whatever language they are because that is not Hindi you're left as the audience as Unsure of what's being said as the others Characters in the story because they don't give you subs. Yeah, you have to wait for the translation Yeah, you're also listening and wondering what's being said. I thought the it wasn't as Once again, I think I did it as service because I was going in expecting more of Stree in terms of like also horror elements And overall comedy which I think Stree does better at both. Yeah, and because there's not a ton of horror in no And it's interesting as there was some in Stree, which is our scarier than werewolves. Yes, they are I'm actually surprised that I did not do that that I did not go in even though I knew this was from the same creators and part of you know, I I Remember watching it and there was a point very early on where I just said okay, so you're gonna be this Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I let it to it. It's just I I think I I was I was had more of an expectation of Stree and I think you should just go in with No expectation yet the expectation and then we'll go bad to compare It's bad. It's always bad to compare a movie to another one movie. It's true Cuz no, especially if it's one that you love a lot. It's correct It's unfair to the movie, but I the ultimate takeaway from this is I I think this is worth watching I think you'll have a really good time I think you'll laugh a lot and probably even more than we did and I laughed a lot Oh, yeah, especially with the dialect. Yes, and plays on words and The performances are all solid by the whole cast and again, you'll find and we'll talk about this in the spoiler section I think you're gonna find that this is a film that really Tries to also send a positive message and has some heart. I agree with you Yeah, so if you ever watch it, please go watch it We're gonna get into some spoils now cuz there's a bunch we get time to get spoiled. Do not watch if you haven't watched Oh, yeah, do not continue watch it if you haven't seen the movie yet because there are some major spoilers huge If you've not seen this it's gonna be ruined for you and you should let the movie tell the story. Yes In a state you've been warned very end, okay How many things did you like about the twists and turns at the end actually did you you usually predict Well, are you talking about creedy creedy? Oh, you know that we called that way. Yeah, I did not we called that I did I love my naivety. We called it. I love it very early when she came on that must suck Because I look at the surprise. It's like finding out what you're gonna get for Christmas before Christmas morning Here's the reason it's it's easy in this one Especially because the beginning part that the story with the whatever that guy with dad Yeah, we were trying to figure out who that girl is right and so immediately when the first girl came up We're like, I bet she's a werewolf Lou Because I didn't see it common when she's coming at all. I had a double bonus prize. I had a prize that's more fun Yeah, the prize I had was oh, it's her. That's cool And then she said I've been doing this for a few hundred years and they flashed back to her and I went Double cool. No, so me being stupid really came in here. No, yeah, we called that one early on Which is it's still funny. I didn't not enjoy it still But yeah, she did a great job that twist was was was fun I like the whole message of you know conserving nature. Absolutely, which you're not worthy You're not worthy to be an animal It's a great line as is the whole twist on the fact that the wolves are not the antagonist They're actually the heroes trying to preserve the natural world. Yeah, I thought that was wonderful We talked about the CGI. There's one scene. I want to talk about specifically though I just didn't understand why okay when she took him to her spot Right on the top of the hill. Yeah, India has countless of beautiful views. Yes. Why CGI that they were in a studio I think why I think India in Northeast specifically I know I have this in the entire country of this gorgeous beauty that we know I can almost guarantee you will probably even prettier than what they made agreed I don't understand why they didn't just do it live Think for two reasons Didn't even the first was they did that full studio having to go to a location for just the one shot You do you think that would be less expensive than going to a location like that? They probably didn't even have to pay well I think that's the second part which could have been solvable But you did notice when after she falls and we go to that Ending shot before credits and obviously there's the post credits. Yeah But did you notice the shape of the mountain they were on is it a wolf? Yeah, it's a wolf face So they had to create that which obviously they could have done but I think I Think the amount of scouting time to get it to be exactly what they wanted and then go to the location for it Was it was single shot this the question? We're already using CGI. Let's just screen it But it was already it was like so jarring because it wasn't like good CGI. Yeah, that entire thing was like I mean if you had avatar money sure do it obviously, but that's already so much Seriously, but it was just like it. No it didn't ruin it. It was just like I didn't understand I was like you're in India. You're in the Northeast India. I'm sure there's a billion places that had this beautiful view True that wouldn't have been like oh wow. That's a lot of CGI But you're already using CGI. I just give them another assignment I did think that a lot of times especially with the wolves They spent a lot of their money on the wolf specifically not when they're running because it when they're running It's pretty bad right but like on the close up close up a good job They spent their money there you can tell the other one they did I thought one of the best CGI's Was when he walks in to see the guy that he had previously attacked who's laying on the bed Yeah, he's laying there with all the marks on him and my first thought I said it out loud was I went nice makeup Mm-hmm, and then it shifted and I went oh you you've tricked me you guys good job CGI team Yeah, because the makeup was all all computer the guy got a great job arm ripped off. Yes, great I love that I feel I Feel like the whole creative team wishes they could just scream to the rafters and shout from every mountain Guys we did the best we could with the time and the money we had if we had been given Marvel money in time Oh, yeah, this would have knocked your socks off. Yeah easily. Yeah, you know why it's just it's always jarring when there's it is When the wolves running and he looked it looks real bad You know luckily that's not with the meat and potatoes of the movie. No, and that was that was given Oh, let's talk about the thing that It was it was kind of spoiled I was expecting it because I was told it's in the same universe as Street, right and so but when it ended in the credits Rolled I was like where was Street? Why does everybody say Abish X there? Well, that was the only thing I was thinking about was because the name of his character is the same name of the character in Street So I thought okay. Hey, guess that's this prequel. Yeah, is this side story? Yeah Yeah, that's what I was like in the credits role and I was like, okay Well, and stuff's like I didn't see a one-stree in this entire thing, right? And then it happened but node shows up Was it weird it was weird because that's how I obvious what I've got him in my head as obviously we just watched Now and obviously I knew he was from Street. That's where we knew him, but he showed up and I was like, that's but no Why is but why is he gonna do a play with these guys come ours now this buff like ridiculous Like he's so much bigger than he was in Street But they showed up in that entire scene was so funny It was great like the same carry it's good because they're doing street to they've already right It's all and so that's super excited. Yeah to to see that But I love the whole tie into the universe and I don't know if they're gonna make another like Obviously, I'm sure in now street to the Varun's character. I'm sure it's gonna show up now. They're trying to connect it Please and since the success of this and The I'm sure they're gonna be expecting treat to to make some money absolutely that But that one wasn't that heavily relying on CGI is this one was no not at all outside of the witch when she came up And it was so subtle and small. Yeah, this was a hundred times more CGI Yeah, that one was a lot more horror even though it wasn't like scary scary But it was a lot more horror centric and funnier. Yeah, and even though says that I want to talk about the Breaking bad Right here. I am the danger. I am the one who knocks people out. I Loved it. I laughed out loud. I did too and I wrote it down Thank you for the Breaking Bad tip of the hat So funny, I wasn't expecting it At first I saw he said I am the danger. I'm like, oh, that's ridiculously close and then he said But a lot of the other comedy came from the Abyshek's characters and just like it He the Hammond's tree. Yeah, such a good and play on words like to play on the word lemon He's such a great casting director, but he's also a great actor screaming mommy in the maxi He because he could play remember him in Yes, oh look look all the madman and how amazing at dramatic He was he's great, and then he's so fucking funny. Yeah, like he is the all-around He's like there's so many of those actors around that they always are the supporting characters But are usually stronger actors than a lot of the the leading and true and it it's why because he knows acting It's why he also anything you see him attached to in casting. I Don't think there's a thing we've ever seen that has him on the casting team or the primary casting director Where the actors aren't superlative. Yeah, just he knows acting both he does how to how to do it and how to recognize it Yeah, yeah the It's I did think sometimes it just comes with the territory sometimes with with Hindi movies or Indian movies in general. I did think it was overscored a little bit It was overscored, and they were they did a lot of like I said, this is more instead of horror Comedy this is almost superhero right and they put superhero music very much over him very much It's like he was essentially once again spoilers. You shouldn't be here if you haven't seen it He's almost spider-man very much right. Yeah, very much the character. Yeah, but yeah I did think not all the times, but I did think of those terms that I thought it was over. You may feel this way as well I'm I'm far more Accepting of overscoring in a film like this comedy ish Yeah, because so much is over the top playing for the laugh being an entertainer It's primary objective is not to be something where they're looking for deep believability And there's gonna be a powerful moral to the story And it has an important message they want to leave you with and it's going on the film festival So yeah overscoring there is unforgivable because it detracts from the reality of what you're seeing Yeah, whereas with this the score is part of the overall value in the laughter Yeah, that's why they can do something silly and go with the music and you love it But I it was a mix because at times it was a little overscored didn't bother me because of what I just said Yeah, and then there were a couple of moments. It was really wonderful. Yeah, it was yeah And and by the way family man every episode same composer Really? Yeah, I looked up the credits on that's interesting quite a few things Hindi mediums tree, obviously bad leper Okay, and family man The other thing I wanted to mention was the the actor who plays Panda they're of the other guy So there's the three main guys and then they had the other guy who knows the villagers and we know him we know It's wild Hindi medium. That's what it was Hindi medium. He's so good in Hindi He was in Hindi medium. Omkara. He was in Omkara, McBool, Gulal, and here's what I love about some of the credits for the director He's a great director. He's a great actor. The director. Yeah, he did a great job in this But but but Amar Koshik not only as director, but he has a couple of screen credits in films He's directed so in Stree he plays homeless stud and He's in He's an AD and no one killed Jessica Okay, he's an AD, but he's also stud in car Stud in car it may be contractual that any credit he has he's got to be stud stud. Yeah So yeah, I really enjoyed this film and I'm glad I did because obviously it's it did so well And I got recommended it a lot obviously wrote thankfully I like I said I wanted to go see this when it was in theaters It just was here for a very short amount of time a I don't I don't even remember if it was one that was near us There was a reason we didn't go I don't remember what it was, but I wanted to see it in theaters because we like the trailer. Yeah, we like Stree But I'm glad yeah, I'm glad it did did well and another thing that's As I think about it I'm really surprised That it felt the way it did at a two and a half hour run run time. Yeah to to 20. Yeah. Yeah with I mean The end credits sometimes when a movie's too long and the end credits come up and you're looking at the clock going Okay, come on not with this one. I stayed I watched through the hole. Did you? Oh, yeah, the musical number Yeah, you saw who came in in the musical with Creedie. Yeah. Yeah So much fun. Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely safe for the credits for this one. Yeah, we reacted to that song, didn't we? If we did I forgot that there's I forgot who pairs up with Creedie I thought we I thought we we may have but I Blocked it out or something. It was a while and maybe it was never it was never released. I thought I maybe I'm mistaken Anyways, yeah, I had a lot of fun with this one Let us know what you thought about this film if you liked it. I'm very excited for Street 2 and anything we missed Is When is Street 1 coming out? You Street 1 already came out it did yeah Street 2. I think they're pre-production Street 2. Yeah, it says production unknown I'm sure 2024. Yeah, I'm sure it's scheduling next year The the people involved it's a matter of getting everybody scheduled together because they're connected to so many projects I'm only gonna see benode now with What universe are we in exactly?
