 Clearly don't love you Hey, we'll go back to our stupid direction. It's a Corbin. I'm Ray and And we are in a car Yep, we didn't go see any movie. No, no, we just in the car and think about what the movie's probably like We're doing a movie review of the not very anticipated New film in the low-budget rom-com Brah I thought you were gonna spit thought somebody was behind me Brahmastra Brahmastra the Indian Hindu mythology epic. Yes kind of thing Astroverse Astroverse India's like first superhero film Obviously, this is new as you guys all know and I know most of you or a lot of you probably gonna end up going see it So most of this will be non spoilers And then we'll get into some spoilers because there are stuff that we'd probably want to talk about want to talk about But we'll let me know beforehand unlike reviewers do when there are things like variety. Thanks Yeah, but we we don't want to give anything away, but but before I say anything good bad Whatever, I do want to say if you go see it see it in IMAX and what Disney decide I purchased IMAX at the last minute. I'm not at the last minute 2d IMAX yeah on the biggest screen 2d standard IMAX and we get there and they hand us 3d glasses We're like apparently what Disney decided to scrap all all IMAX ones and make all IMAX screens 3d screens, right? Which we were like, come on guys not a huge fan of 3d. Yeah, but it didn't ruin it at all in terms of The visuals because that's I haven't probably seen a 3d film in probably 15 20. I'm with you But anyways, I would highly encourage if you're gonna go see this film Get it on the biggest screen you can Because this is the style of film That is worth the big screen Barna So if if nothing else Please just try to see it on the biggest most beautiful screen you can I think it that would probably enhance your enjoyment of the film I'm 100% but Rick your initial non-spoiler thoughts, please Absolutely fantastic. I loved it. All right it Yeah, and kudos to the sound design because the film starts with sound this isn't a spoiler It's the sound is great But they do the trick that is done in most songs where for the duration of the song The mixing just gets a little bit louder as the song goes on and it never got too loud And you've heard us talk about that before we were like and we had to like cover up our ears So the and you're going to want to see these visuals. I have mixed feelings about the 3d I know the director mr. Mukherjee wants to have everybody see it in 3d Which is kind of hard not to honor the wishes of the the guy who made it and I Will come back and see it and I will have everybody come see it in 3d because I think the visual field for whatever you lose Of the cinematography that you would get he intended the cinematography to be seen in 3d And you really won't get that in a home theater experience So it brings you to the theater and it gives you an epic and we'll tell you more but all in all I It lived up to the hype for me. I had some technical difficulties there and so that's why you saw the cut there So, yeah, you you enjoyed it. I loved it. I enjoyed it as well. I didn't love it. Oh, I loved it the the I loved like the visuals of it. I think it's absolutely worth seeing and I there's just parts of the the screenplay that I just wish were How do I put it Just Cuz it's it's hard because I've really enjoyed the script like in terms of what they did with the mythology, right? Right in terms of like creating this whole superhero style of universe. Yes, and what you can do with it I enjoyed that but It was a double-edged short because the parts that I like okay They're keeping the pace here didn't it doesn't really feel like a three-hour film at all Because it's almost it's just under three hours and it doesn't feel that and the pacing is good but it's also the downside is that I think that You you lose something because everything something is always gonna come next that helps further the plot Sure, okay that that that is the thing that I didn't love and it's a double-edged short because they had to explain everything Right, yeah, and you kind of have to in this story, but also I don't love that much explanation You mean Explanation in terms of like exposition in the dialogue. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I do that that's that didn't bother me at all That's my biggest issue with it. Yeah Is it didn't bother me is that and it actually gives me I don't want to cut off your face here Hope for the spoilers. There's a second one Yeah, like you didn't know that that the fact that they won't have to explain it's an or it of course It's an origin film. Yeah, and it's not just an origin film It's a film that has to do with so much so much like there's probably the stuff that went a billion miles over our heads And a bunch I'm sure that was left out Yeah And also like stuff that people grew up with knowing right these stories about these astros about these these gods and stuff like that And getting to see it on screen. I bet it's like almost lethargic Getting to see it and I think they did a really good job with a lot of aspects of it There's just parts that I would have preferred Maybe just a little differently Yes for me I know what you're talking about and it didn't bother me because I've seen the Marvel universe do that Mm-hmm, and I've seen I feel like based on a lot more now with the multiverse exactly and and and really have been and I think considering the expansiveness in what is being communicated and trying to get everybody on the same page Not just with the telling of a story, but the establishing of all of these things. Yeah, I It could have been really easy to have bad screenwriting and I I Actually think they did a really good job Yeah for the most part I Really, but that would be my biggest Grype, I guess it would be the word is that I wanted to Everything happened real fast Right, they fall in love real fast. They all right The things do happen at a pretty quick We have a lot of ground to cover like I said It's a double-edged short because that helps further the plot in terms of this keeps it going and it's nice And but it also is like I kind of wish we could delve into this a little more And I get it. It's not that style of film It's it's all about the spectacle in terms of like we called our are spectacle and our are is a spectacle Do not compare this to our are they're very different movies completely different films very different movies both spectacles And yeah, but this one especially this is like a Sanjay Lillib and Sally on crack in terms of yeah Visual beauty. I was think I was thinking of the two films and I was I was watching it. I was thinking to myself This this should just make everybody in India happy because you have in the same year You have our are are and you have Brahmastra. They are both equally in my opinion Incredibly good wonderful movies to watch Incredibly entertaining and It it doesn't do anything in my estimation although there will be people who do this to say Oh, well, we're better than you and we're better than you I think it just evidences what we've been talking about the whole time that all of India has Artistry at levels that the the majority of the people outside of India are just now beginning to Recognize and I really really hope this this does extremely extremely well because it's it's Visually it is Absolutely spectacular. It's what we saw on the trailer. Yeah, you can honestly watch this spectacular the sound off Yeah, and probably and Marvel at what you're watching and that's that's one of the great things the fact that Indian cinema is here in terms of the Obviously, there's even though they it's a crazy budget for India, right? It's so not at Marvel levels Which is which is astonishing imagine what they could do with well level money Right would make me if I'm a producer in America I would look at the films we're making here and I'd look at the films They're making in India like brahmashtra and RRR and I would look at everybody and go Why the hell are you having me spend so much money on stuff when it can look like that for that amount of money? We're filming India No joke because this is this wasn't for me visually on par with Marvel They did stuff in this thing that I haven't seen in Marvel. Oh, yeah, it just was Just gorgeous. Yeah, it was it was and it's it's wonderful that We have a Indian superhero film that is that is Marvel level In terms of the visual spectacle and very much its own because it's very very different from their superhero films Yeah, it's it's not really like that. We say Marvel because that's the closest thing you can compare it to right But this is such an Indian like it's got to be so cool If you've grown up Hindu if you've grown up Indian You've grown up listening to these stories about these Astro about these gods and somebody has made a Marvel film out of it Yeah, that is cool. Yeah, I mean, I gotta be we're not Hindu We're not Indian obviously we have more exposure than most white people have to Indian culture in Indian movies And so we can appreciate some of the stuff that happened some of the people just showed up We're not gonna give any spoilers way obviously But there are some surprises kids You're gonna really like some surprises in this that they kept under wraps, and I'm really glad weren't spoiled for us The sooner you go see it The less likely you'll get any spoilers about this movie. So go go see it this weekend. Yes I'm interested to see Andrani had an engagement tonight that she went to with a friend and and I'm really looking forward to what she Thinks of it because the perspective that we don't have she grew up in do she Hindu social She'll absolutely 100% and you know Hindu Indian. She's gonna laugh. Oh, I was just gonna set a spoiler, but no No, anyway, I loved all the songs. They were even yeah after at the end One of the songs rolls in the credits, and I was just singing to me to this is a lot of fun and the It was better on screen as you could expect it in 3d But I was far more energized and impacted by that number we reacted to that's the Ran beer number with that the festival Oh, yeah, it's DJ party. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I enjoyed it more here on the big screen Mm-hmm, and yeah, like I said, it's you need to go see this and I see it and I'm X3 I mean I I could probably do without the 3d still even though I did it like I said It didn't bother me. It's just I don't think it adds anything for me. It's it's its own thing It's its own spectacle at times. I had especially at the front I had to not be judgmental of it because my mind was going Looks like a freaking video game. Stop Stop and and then I let it just be What it was I'm really looking forward to seeing it in in regular 2d to catch what some of the cinematography was Because it's a whole different beauty and I obviously prefer cinematography in 2d But this is by far Like I enjoyed the last 3d movie. I ever saw was probably avatar I I enjoyed the visuals in this more than I did in avatar Interesting. Yeah, um, yeah, it's it was it's a lot of like, um Harry Potter In in the battles but like on crack on crack Yeah, and steroids and steroids. Yeah, and and cocaine and cocaine that chairman johar gave everyone exactly that day He was like oh here have some of this more another little note It was really cool that right as we came out There were a couple of stupid babies that were out there that watched it with us So hello to you guys that we met if you're watching this And and and the buddy in vegas. Also, there's no post credit scene. Oh, yeah, you don't need to well You should stay through just to see the city that was involved to charlotte. Uh, yeah, we shot to char in the credits No, which is which is the city of artists involved in the making of this thing You just look at the names because they they they deserve the accolades for the accomplishment they did the uh the other thing that um And maybe it goes along with what I might well my original problem was I never felt the the stakes were Incredibly high Like in terms of I didn't I knew what they was going to happen, right? I agree I knew I'm not going to give anything away. I just no I felt not that I knew what the where the story was going in terms of like Overall story just I knew like oh, he's going to win right and that's going to happen There wasn't there wasn't much. I think that's kind of combined into the original gripe There wasn't much that fell outside the spectrum of what you would expect But I liked I liked that it fell within that framework because it's like that's what I expect from this kind of a movie Next we say I'm really looking forward to what they do in the future with this When we don't have to be explained we know the world now now you can expand and make bigger and better It's interesting because they set the table what they're going to do now Right, they set the table for this universe in a very very different way because when marvel set the table for their universe They didn't have anywhere near the budget. They have for this film Nor was there an audience for this the way it was so with the iron man film They the the great thing was wow, it's a superhero movie that has a story in acting We don't get movies as superhero movies that have great actors and great stories So marvel established that and then when they got the money they started adding all of the glorious special effects and visual effects I I think this trajectory now he set the table with all of this information to I really am impressed with giving you It could have been really convoluted and you could have walked out of the theater going confused. What the hell was that? No, yeah, I mean it was beautiful. But I didn't what are these things? I didn't feel confused not at all Even though I'm sure there's stuff that went over my head right in terms of like right part of the mythology But I felt felt like if you didn't know anything and we and we don't we don't really We kind of probably know more than most white people more than the average bear. Yeah, we did but I feel I don't feel like I was confused with the story not once I didn't get lost I I felt like I was tracking with them. I thought all the performances were good Yep, this is not one that this is not a film that kind of you're looking for the performance to drive The the film. No, but it also nobody ruined the film with their performance at all And I thought everybody did a good job reindeer. He had a really good job Alia did a good job I'm gonna talk about John of course is always his presence but it would it would have been Easy to ruin the film with not solid performances And I do believe that Even though they didn't get to well like we like to phrase it They didn't get to flex their thespian attic muscles per se in this the fact that Alia and Ranbir are such good thespians Eminates through everything that they do. They also good chemistry. They should get together Yeah, they really should get together. I mean make a baby Yeah, because like it just seems like they're so right for each other and like in this film It just seems like why don't they get married? Also, why don't they have a kid? But are we getting into spoilers a little bit of a story that what are you gonna share? Oh, no, I'll do it. Yeah. Okay. You want to let me let me think of any like I said I I think everybody should go see this film. I think it's absolutely worth especially and do not wait for ott No, one. I think somebody said ott is not coming for like seven months. I think great Well, number one, you're not gonna get the experience number two. You're gonna get spoiled You're gonna you're gonna things are gonna get ruined for you. There's stuff in here that if you don't go see it now blind And in the world that they're gonna build there's stuff that I thought was gonna happen as well that didn't Yeah, which I was we'll talk about in the spoils. Yeah, but uh, yeah, so I think overall I think it's a really enjoyable Spectacle film and I think india should be proud to finally be here as a as a film industry With rr and and this kind of films of just massive big spectacle for the masses That's on par with what a lot of people are doing in hollywood. Yeah, I think I said that when we were expecting it I said, I really hope this is the one-two punch I really hope that this gives another punch that just makes every look at the world and go I'm looking forward to people who saw our are seeing this and just stepping back and going Holy crap. That wasn't a one-off. That wasn't like an anomaly with our rr This industry is freaking this is what they produce. You just have to give them the budget. Yep. Yep So, yeah, if you haven't watched it go watch it come back and then we'll get into some spoilers here Spoiled time. Do you think it was hard for alia to learn all of her lines of sheba? I think she yelled she feels she about a lot of times 100 times in this. I think you're absolutely right like every other Every single time she was on you. Yep Hey, I want to see this right at the outset now with the spoiler section spoilers That is one of if not the I need to think about it long and hard One of the sexiest villains I've ever seen her on Loved her. Yeah. I thought she did really well. I don't know freaking from the minute she got on screen I was like, oh my goodness. We don't have signals. I can't look up her name I apologize. But yeah, I thought she did a really good job money. I'm gonna forgive me for this. I'm not remembering your name correctly. There's a Fantastic, yeah, I thought she loved her. I thought she did a really good job Loved her. Uh, couldn't wait for her to get back on screen. I thought her and the uh, well the big villain kept going That was his line and then the other guy who died. Uh, yeah her partner's in crime I thought he did well as well. I did too shower Collins cameo. I was actually sad it came so early I was it if it was fine with me, uh, okay, because I I gotta start it off with a bang like literally right off the bat You're like that Shah Rukh Khan and you get a full-on kind of mini movie. Yeah made me think okay. What else are you gonna do? You just blew your proverbial wad right here. What else are you gonna throw at us starting out as Shah Rukh Khan You got SRK back on screen and as we were watching it. I'm like, hey This is the first time I'm seeing SRK on the big screen. No, well, oh, that's right But that really was his face it really wasn't him But yeah, I thought he it seemed it was really fun. It was great And enjoyable and a great opening. It was like, hey, here's the visual effects. You're gonna get so strap in kind of like Without obviously introducing Ranbir yet They kind of established the world of this is what's happening. These are the right. This is the sakes This is what the bad guy's trying to get and here's Shah Rukh Khan as a yes But I was also just sad that he was I was like, can he come back? I know Maybe don't do that. Maybe he'll come back in the third film. Yeah No, please don't do what marvel started to do which is that like nobody can die because there's just another version of them We'll show up in another I don't know kane astras I don't know the I don't know the lore of it. If they do it I hope they do it a little bit more intelligently because this whole multiverse thing where there can be nine Trillion unlimited versions of you. I don't It's getting old. Yeah, so uh, that was a fun one. I I swear to you that is I know you're so that is you were literally when that moment comes up And we're sure that we're gonna haven't seen the film that we're gonna get uh dev revealed We're sitting leaning forward. I was like show me. Show me. Show me. I know that back. I know that back I know I know it's Ranvier and de pica. I thought it's 100 percent. Well his mom We were almost certain in the baby sequence. That's that's his mom and That's amrica and I agree and I'm pretty sure that's who it is and is that gonna be the next film? And so that yeah, they said they clearly set that up for its part two is gonna be And but is part two going to be a continuation with ran beer? Yeah, it's gonna be like empire. I am your father No, I'm saying or is this just gonna be a separate story I don't I don't of dev No, I think it's ran beer going to be the continuation I think it's a continuation because it is he was released. That's why they showed us that at the end where Junoon goes and Is releasing him. So And I hope she's back. Uh, I don't think she is. I hope so. I hope she didn't die She won't he won't let me die. That's what she said. That's true. So I hope she comes back. Um, also 99.9 times out of 100 when a film is over scored. I'm not gonna like it This film is over scored That is but I liked it. Yeah, it's it's what I liked it. Well, it's because it it's that thing that I was talking about The flaw that I see in it is that it it kind of it's a real fast screenplay everything Okay, this happens now this happens now this happens and this happens right everything is to further the plot Which is typically bad screen. That's typically bad. Yeah, but that's also a plus because it carries it along Like the time like the time when he's telling the story about his parents is like So but you were gonna tell me a story about my mom and dad. You're like, yeah, you're really quick Well, like really quick sheva. He's been talking about your mom and dad the whole time He was five minutes before he was like, I'm gonna tell you I'm not gonna tell you when you're ready And then five minutes later. He's like, I'm gonna tell you where your dad is now And so everything went real fast, right? Yeah, um, and so I think that What was what was the point of what I was saying? I'm sorry. I interrupted your point No, no because you were talking about plot and exposition and then you never wanted to go quick No, you overscored it with prior to that. Yeah, and so I think that because The the music was intense all the time because every every moment felt intense. Yeah, but there was actually deeply emotional But different because one of the issues we had with kgf2 was that everything was so intense, but there was no payoff Exactly. It was just a commercial. Everything was a commercial. There was no payoff, right? Outside of one moment at the end with the big fight scene in kgf Two, um, but it felt like a nest. There was little fight scenes that were really fun Great stunt work. Uh-huh People get stabbed people get stabbed in the heart and then I love the whole car sequence when he's on top of the car And pulling alia out of the car Editing the editing team did an exceptional job both with film editing and sound editing Absolutely fantastic job. I think it's good that the visuals were so Engrossing because obviously that's why I said at the outset see this in the biggest and most beautiful screen you can because that's just That is this film is that one of the the most engaging parts of this film is this visual spectacle And if kind of similar to Sanjay's films, yeah, I've really been talking about it like oh, they're two steroids Yeah, but this is on steroids and it really is And there are some spots where it wasn't just the spectacle There are some establishing shots that I was surprised because typically in 3d, you don't get this But there's like this one shot when they're at the boat at the uh All sitting around the boat and it just shows you this shot Out into the sunset and we both went. Oh, wow. That's gorgeous Yeah, and there was actually a lot of a couple funny moments in the film that made us laugh out loud. Yep. Um I also did you get the mr. India line? Yeah. Yeah, I love that we could get the mr. India line Because obviously he's uh, he's got there with all the kids all the orphans Yeah, he's got all the orphans and then he said his dad disappeared and he was mr. India because he's no longer there He's no longer there Um, and so yeah, it's it's wonderful that we can catch those kind of references My least favorite part was probably the beginning with Ranbir and alia The establishing of them. Yeah, I agree with you one because it was just so fast And it was very simple and like the supporting cast were like The lines were just cheesy and that kind of stuff and it almost felt like a Nickelodeon Yeah Character development. I was like, okay. Can we get can we get to the plot? I get they're gonna fall in love Let's get there. And I think that's probably what he felt too. He's like, okay I got to establish that they love each other, but this is this is They're the two most important people And they represent who they represent and I just got to establish that they're in love with each other And now let's get on with the story. Honestly, I was actually I I thought from the beginning and maybe it'll get revealed later I think there was a lot of hints that she is Somebody I know I know in the lore. She's obviously Shiva's Muse or right and wife and wife and I don't know the ins and outs of their relationship I just know that they're together in the mythology or whatever you want to call it. I apologize I'm not trying to offend by calling it a mythology, but the I From almost the moment when he went into the temple to go find her in the beginning Yeah, and she was looking at the god. Yeah Like really intently and then there was a few other moments like the the villain girl Touch her and they kind of had a moment, right? There was a bunch of hints that she was that she's got a power. Yeah, I don't know what I agree I did and I felt like it was enough to make us have the thought And see if that's something that's going to come in part to be the villain almost I didn't expect that for the for for a second. I didn't expect that that obviously didn't happen I want to again if you're here and you haven't seen it. No, please you shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be here and we spoiled everything for you Yeah, suck But yeah, I I enjoyed it and I would see it again Yeah, my my favorite thing aside from the visual effect and living up to the hype and actually surpassing it in many respects In that regard is I do like as much as it's a simple story I really love the main message Of the fact that the ultimate power in the universe that can conquer all things is Sacrificial love is the highest form of power and that Unleashing your gift because this is this is Shiva's main story is that He found the unleashing of his gift in The expression of love and not being afraid of it and I can tell you from from from personally There's a lot of stuff that I'm in you know in the pursuit of things that I want to do as an actor To have in Drani with me and to have that relationship and have her believe in me Is unlike anything I've ever known in my life and it has a releasing force to it because Of her love for me. So that was a very personal thing for me I was like I'm I'm getting I get the feels you're wanting me to get because it it got all the mythology But then it also had that really beautiful message that I think an adult audience can be entertained by but even A 10 year old kid could get the message of the film. Wow I always find that That whole thing Cheesy Of course you do and harry potter Harry potter harry potter what just happened there? You don't harry potter. You don't harry potter. You don't harry potter Fucking harry potter, you know, yeah, um, but He's lying on the ground after voldemort just then he's like he tells voldemort. He'll never know friendship At least die life I think it's so stupid, but it happens so much in films like this. Yeah, I get it It's not I love it. Obviously love is the everybody loves love and yeah Love it wins and all that kind of stuff, but I always find it in films And hey, so cheesy how much did you love watching big b kick ass? Oh, I loved it. Yeah, I hope he's back for uh Uh, the part the next part couldn't have had a better guru Yeah, couldn't have had a better. I just wish we had more people in our theater Yeah, we went to an early showing I did the later showings are a lot more full than we went to like a mid-day Like a five and everybody's in traffic here in Los Angeles in midday and it's an indian film But I because I wanted some more cheers. Yeah, I feel like there was moments where People should be cheering like when his wife walked out. They're here. Here are the people behind us They did what we did. Yeah when when we were like, oh, she's in this. Yeah Anyway, so yep, that's our thoughts. That's it. Uh, finally we got the brah amastra Behind us now. We got a whole bunch of other stuff in front of us Let us know what you thought about the film what you liked what you didn't like Do you love it? What are your thoughts? What do you think's gonna happen the next one? Is it renvier? Yes, it is We all know it Uh, so he's gonna play dev and he's gonna be Shocked him up. Yeah, he's such a powerful man. He is a powerful man with a powerful body Yeah, just as to pica. Anyways, let us know what you thought about the film down below
