 Toto and I don't think we're in Kansas any more Hey, welcome back to our stupid direction. It's I'm Corbin. I'm Rick and we're in a car. Yeah, and it's raining This is weird for you the the tightness of the shot the the lighting Sorry, wait, we just went to our first Indian film since the pandemic happened in a theater Experience yeah push-pa the Tolugu film starring a lu Arjun and sprinkling of Fafa just a pinch of Fafa. Yeah, but So the reason it's right here is because this theater is not really close to Rick or I house And so we wanted to get and it's also late And so I wanted to get to you as fast as possible And so we wanted to do it here so I can just go home and edit and upload and that would be it So that's that's why this is it if it's this is weird for you. I'm terribly. Sorry This is just we wanted to get to you as fast as possible, but since it's new we're gonna do Mostly non-spoilers. No, so non-spoilers just in case you are gonna go watch it and whatever And then maybe we'll get into some non-spoilers at the end, but it's I don't know. I don't actually have the IMDB in front of me So I can't actually the director right give director cinematography and all that is I think his name starts with a nest I do a public and and is the story creator and screenwriter as well but we're very excited to see this from the trailers and I could tell you probably safely that we were both probably pretty disappointed Rick you feel like that. Yeah, what what makes you say that? Yeah Yeah Without I don't want to give too much away Although there are some parts of it I did like and I actually enjoyed part of the theater experience because one of the three we actually got this for the first time Like when like whistling and cheering a little our hero on the screen We had people whistling and cheering. Yes, they had like when he did some cool stuff stylish moments That was so like I've probably probably enjoyed some moments more than we would if we watched it at home Absolutely sound is better in a theater the overall experience with everybody So that was really cool and there were some parts. I did enjoy it, but overall I think with where it fails and you can tell me if you agree is they marketed this wrong All right. Yeah, the trailer doesn't even come close. You thought this was gonna be like RR like action-packed I'd say there's less than a fourth action in this entire thing. Yeah It's mostly dialogue or a I think a pointless relationship agreed like right I I agree and I'm I hate that I had to say it because I was actually very excited to see this I was too, but I feel like I was thinking that while we were watching it I was like I enjoyed the trailer more because I thought the trailer was what this was going to be and This isn't what the trailer conveys they they marketed it as almost a KGF, right and right actually towards the beginning I was actually enjoying I was like, okay cool. We're in for the you are June first 20 minutes I was like, okay, here we go a big action star Yep, and I actually got this for the first time because a lot of people talk about this what there's their favorite stars They're very stylish, right? Yes, a little Arjun in this He's nothing but style. It's all style, right? And so I was actually enjoying that and kind of like in KGF He's he's very stylish in that and he does a lot of these these over-the-top things. There's no physics Nothing. Yeah, nothing believable in in KGF Like this action parry and there's a story and it keeps you engaged correct this thing man It dragged. Yeah, and I I just one why would you market it that way? And what you could have cut an hour if not more out of this it's three and feels like five. Yeah Yeah, it's it's it's so disappointing Yeah, I really wanted to enjoy this so that I was doing everything Enjoy it and then at about the two hour and 15 mark. I was just I had given up and okay, so that's that's the piece It's it's just did the guy next to me. He took three phone calls during the movie Like three or four times yeah, and so that's that's probably the biggest issue with this film one It's it's way an hour to an hour and a half too long way too long like they could have I think because there Some good parts like there was some good action parts that I was like, okay good Let's stick with this keep driving with this and they don't they just go to some different thing either with the pointless love interest Yeah, or to a bunch of dialogue that I'm like, okay I thought we already rehashed this part like twice already Yeah, and they just keep going back to it and like I just I think you could have cut an hour out And you could have literally made it like all fun Jungle defying physics fight scenes save god Here's how you could have saved time and money cut all of the sequences where you used bad CGI for logs in water That that happened way too much. Honestly, you could have cut the entire love relationship Yeah, that we didn't need that even though I thought the actress was good I'm but it was like almost pointless the entire thing and also the relationship was a little problematic Like yeah, it was it was I'm not gonna give anything away because I was in the non spoilers But it was like a little strange the way they built this relationship. It was It gave me the feeling and none of them are this long But like this will probably be appealing for people who are just fans of This style and of him in the same way that like you could never talk people out of loving Jean-Claude Van Damme or Jason Statham They're gonna the fans are dedicated. They love it. And if you don't like it, you're a moron. Yeah, that's what's gonna happen with this movie Yeah, I definitely say so, but I even think some of the fans that were in there. They were really excited I feel like a lot of them got bored. Well, God, there was a lot of getting up Yeah, there's a lot of getting up and it was quiet It was quiet for most of the film outside of a few moments And I thought we were gonna get a lot more action scenes in this. Yeah, because that's what it Promoted it. Yeah, it almost promoted like it was either KGF or our arc. Yeah, I'd say of the three hours. There was probably 25 minutes of that of action. Yeah And people don't go into John Wick expecting to see a lot of dialogue and acting from Keanu Reeves They go into see headshots and some cool stunts. Yeah That's why you go into these films and so I feel like they didn't know what kind of film They were making and I know India has these Missala films But I feel like you there's got to be a structure to it right at least at some point Yeah, I mean, okay, so the things I did enjoy I thought a little Arjun and what he did I thought was like he did what they wanted him to do Yeah, I thought it could have been a lot better if they would have shortened it and made him just a Stylistic star that was kicking ass the entire time, right, but they didn't stick to that No, and it was really incongruent to to see him be the stylish Kick-ass dude who's quite boyish with well, I didn't find it to be charming I found it to be incongruent. Yeah when he's around the girl. Yeah. Yeah, and I thought even though it's again I thought the story was pointless. I thought the girl did well And and all that and I the songs they were good. They were in they would like But it was like by the here's he was the issue with a lot of the good parts by the time they came I was like, okay, exactly Exactly, so I was like that's a little song with Samantha really sexy song Sexy song rate number and a couple of cool moves in it, but by that point you're like, yeah one of the credits Yeah, and like you had a couple good Songs with the girl and then at the end there was this cool song that I think if we watched it alone We're like that's a really cool song would have loved that last thing as a standalone. Yeah I think they're they're good good songs. Yeah, but it's like by the time you get to them You're like, oh my god I mean at least I enjoyed this five minutes of the song Yeah, cuz like it just drags man, and then by the time we got to Fafa. It's like it was like I Was actually hoping when they do the reveal on him It was just gonna be the end. Yeah, and then it just continued and even with Fafa. I was like, oh Great. Yeah, and I like they built it up to this second part. I'm like why You literally could have just had the good villain the entire time. Did you I got to ask a question This is a slight spoiler it's not because you guys know that this is part one Yeah, but there's a there's a moment when it said second interval It's at the end yeah cuz they want you to know that this is part one they're reminding you again But when it said second interval, I thought another intermission Yeah, totally agree. So but I thought it's Fafa, right? But they one they had this weird overdubbing thing. Yeah, which you know, I kind of accepted towards the beginning but That it always takes away from the performances for me But I wasn't going into this film expecting like no crazy performances Fafa did well obviously Fafa doesn't do bad But it's like by the time once again by the time he came on I was like well I wish you were here in like the first yeah two hours I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Mm-hmm Daniel Day Lewis could have walked onto the screen and I would have went oh cool Man, it's it's it's it's disappointing. Yeah, it's cuz like I wanted to really enjoy this film Yep, I was excited for it I was in also like the the even though the cinematography was nice It didn't come across as nice as it did in the trailer correct like cuz I was expecting to be blown away by the visuals The way I manned in Sanjay Lila Bansali kind of films right but it even though it was nice It didn't blow me away. No, I remember commenting on how beautiful the lighting was for day shots on the trailer Didn't convey in the big screen. Yeah, and it was like it was nice But it's not it wasn't like I was expecting to be encapsulated by the visuals me too of it all and that wasn't there Yeah, it was It's weird man, and I'm sorry sorry if you guys are mad at us for this and like, you know We hate to luga even though that's not true at all But it's just no but I will say if that's a particular thing That's the vein in the same way that I mentioned like you have the kinds of films that are adjacent stathom film or or Because those aren't just action films or Jean-Claude van Damme Yeah, they're a very particular kind of action film that strains credulity and which is fine. It's fine If that's what you like I Just I wasn't expecting this to be that kind of So it adds the disappointment. I would have been totally fine if this was all like the big like, you know Pushing people 25 feet by you know that I would have actually been totally fine I was like, okay, I'm in for this right right we're in for the ride Man, there was barely any of it. It was like they had like an hour of just boredom in between each thing Yeah, and it was just it's not what it advertised and that was just it was disappointing Yep, it's like if we went into RR and they barely had any action I'd be disappointed. Yeah, cuz you're what you conveyed to me was that you're gonna bring me fun Action, right and that's what that's what I wanted and you just that's not what I got. Yeah Yeah, yeah, sorry guys. Sorry guys But you know, let us know what you thought about the film and if there's a This is our first a Lou Arjun film, but he wasn't really the issue with this film No, in fact, I don't have any complaints about him. I think he did what he was supposed to do Yeah, and he was I thought he was stylish. I thought he was like you I mean We actually didn't get a great dance number from him, which I was hoping for no But they were fun and you know, I liked him But I wish the filmmaking would have helped him in the film love like not being three hours long Yeah, that could have helped a lot a lot. So, yeah That's the review guys Well, it was our first time we're actually gonna be going to the theaters a lot here and thankfully yes with you know Jersey 83 are coming out and all of that. So we're gonna be going back to the theater So that's very I was glad to see it was mostly full. That was mostly our little tiny theater Yeah, we know spider-man just came out That was good to say so let us know what you thought about the film and what should be the next a Tolugu film that we watch down below
