 This is to help Corbin with his boner Tours do very actually hit some Corbin his butt hurts. Yeah, it does and you can follow the Instagram You'll see that at some point Today, we're doing a movie review A film that's been highly requested for a for a long long time and obviously because They're remaking it with the unknown actor named in Hindi with Shahid Kapoor But I believe it's the same director Writer but we are reviewing the Tolugu film Jersey A failed cricket cricketer decides to revive his cricketing career in his late 30s despite everyone being skeptical of his abilities to do so directed by and written by Got Tommy to know Rob Tim minority forgive me for mispronouncing starring Nani and Shrata Srinath and then And those are the three main people in this so if you haven't watched it go watch it This is gonna be a hundred pence spoiler of you Let's just have we'd like to do stuff outside of stuff That's new so if you haven't watched it go watch it come back and then you will see our Spoiler thoughts you little naughty little nymphos Some pretty good hits. What's your initial thoughts Rick? Um, I Walked away not particularly liking it There's some things I can say and I want to accentuate the things that are like the cinematography was very good The lighting was very good. I Felt that my biggest challenge was the story and some of the performances that I was never able to get Pulled into the story or like the story enough to not only not like the film But even to wonder why does why why are they making this again? Because I just I just didn't like it very much doctor I thought it was an okay film. There was some stuff. I liked and stuff I did not like probably some of similar stuff here I actually thought Nani did a commendable job because I did Harp on him pretty bad in Ega when we originally saw him. Yeah a thousand percent much better way way better Then then that and so he was probably but he was definitely my favorite performance in this and her Then there was a bunch of supporting characters that I just I had a huge problem with a huge problem with yeah And then there's stuff that I feel like they could have cut out I think it was a little choppy in terms of like trying to get me into it I was like into it in some point and then they were like this random thing that I was like, okay Why I feel like it could have been two hours as opposed to two thirty I think it would have been a pretty easy cut and I think it would have been a lot cleaner film Yeah, we say all this if you love this film you are more than welcome to love this film Absolutely, I feel I don't know why I have to say that obviously you can love this film if you want to love this film Our opinion means nothing to your opinion of this film So I just want to preface that because I know We're just gonna get shit on because that's if we don't give a glowing review That's just what happens regardless of the language. Yeah, and there's really nothing what happens And there's really nothing we can say because when we talk about test technical aspects or things about things about movie making Um, just so for those of you who do listen and care, we're gonna say those things But for those of you who don't right away. I don't read your comments anymore. Anyway, so Um, but anyways, I do I do want to commend Nani. He was probably my favorite part of this Um, and I not that he was like I think like anything Fafa level or anything like that But I thought he did a really commendable job in this role, especially Compared to what I thought about him in Ega Which as if you saw the film even though we loved Ega But it was after the fly came in it wasn't because of any other performances besides an animated fly Right. Um, and so I want to commend and Samantha. I believe was in that film as well She was and yeah that says a lot because you know, we love Samantha now. Um, but Uh, I thought he did a really good job of his relationship with his son I thought was a a good part of the film even though I would have carried it out Like in terms of I I just I think some of the dialogue was some of the biggest struggles for me in this and the fact that a lot of it didn't seem believable In terms of the the dialogue between each other, you know, you know How a lot of times I feel about when white actors are acting is because it just doesn't seem natural That's how I felt about a lot of like the the dialogue not not particularly nani and and show Say her name Shrata not particularly that but most other people in the film For the most part it was just very like Um, it just didn't feel natural to me The one who felt the most natural was on the screen one of the least amounts of times in the minute I saw him. I was happy. It was just too late in the film. I'm forgetting his name, but he plays the um If i'm not mistaken. He's the dad Of the son in pakistan in razi I don't I don't think that he's one of the main guys toward the end Who's deciding whether or not arjun should be on the main team? And he has the final decision that you think he's probably not going to pick him because He's not letting play but then he eventually picks him. It's it's that man. Gotcha, but I agree with you I it wasn't just the dialogue for me the largest thing for me that was Difficult for me to embrace the film was the story. I thought the story itself had a lot of things in it that I I didn't find either admirable or even laudable in terms of our main characters decision making the choices he makes and ultimately his legacy I felt like and and I said out loud when we got to the last game. I said, I wonder who's going to be the hero um, yeah, this was a Fairly predictable. You knew where it was going. It's kind of like a lot of it might be even though film's completely different But like if you've seen a disney film of my child called the rookie Uh, I don't know if you ever saw that I love the rookie. Uh, the rookie is actually a pretty good baseball. Yeah, uh, but it's about an older baseball pitcher Who didn't ever think he would be playing baseball and then this is pitching. This is the way to do that kind of story but it's a similar style of I'm not the film is obviously completely different The stories are very different But in terms of like an older person trying to get back into the game and his reasons for getting back And his reasons for getting back that it's it's similar in that aspect Yeah, in fact, we'll talk about that a little bit without spoiling it for you because it doesn't what happens is This guy's a coach of a baseball team. He's married. He's got a happy life And his kids that he coaches these like high school kids They want to see him throw and they're like egging him on and asking him to throw and he throws and they're like Dang, yeah and similar what happened in this. Yeah, but he has really the reason he goes is because the kids trick him into Trying out. Yeah, so that that's where it was similar in that aspect But I do like I said, nonny was probably my favorite part even like I'm not saying he was like incredible Like I like I thought he was like not faffa or anything But I thought he did a good job and he was probably my favorite performance in the entire thing I did written one of my favorite moments of his when he was actually just screaming at in the train I thought that was a nice scene For one the the filmmakers and him as well I thought their relationship for the most part until a certain point That I got I got upset at a certain point at their relationship when it was I was upset at him the whole movie No, no, not him not him arjun the character. Oh, yeah. No, yeah that that makes sense Obviously, you're I think especially towards the beginning. You're supposed to be pretty upset with him for being just a lazy kind of just doing nothing The the moment that I like their relationship though like in terms of I felt the tension in between The the couple and I thought when they were good to each other I thought they had some good moments my I didn't like the little twist of Uh her making him chew like who's more important me or your son? Oh, he made that clear with his actions, but like she didn't need to ask that question. I just didn't I didn't I just maybe it was a phrasing. Maybe it was the subtitles. Maybe it didn't mean important because Both my wife and son are equally important in very very different ways. You prioritize them differently Maybe it was maybe that's the correct terminology They were supposed to be using was like who's going to be the priority here me or or the or the kid Because that I would understand more like you should prioritize your wife. Yeah, obviously first Exactly, I just I didn't I think I didn't understand the maybe it was a wrong translation important I don't know if it bothered you but the word. Yeah, the word important didn't bother me I think I got the gist of what she was asking is like what what matters most to you in your life And you know, he she had asked him that early on in the film and he said you but His actions prove otherwise. Yeah, he was clearly a very what they were trying to convey is he's very down and out very like He's given up on life because you don't figure out until the end even though I didn't really care for the big spoil like the big Revelation in the end it made it worse Like, you know, I don't like those things. It's not just I don't like the whole You were dealing with this whole thing and then the sun comes in and Like reveals a big reveal. I don't I don't like those in Hollywood films and any language films It's always like, okay, cool. I don't care about you. Why are you giving me this information? You could have done that in the present tense. That's where I think they could have knocked off at least 20 to 30 minutes of the film With a couple little with a couple cuts And it I think would have made it a little more choppy The biggest issue is probably a lot of the side performances Like I don't know if you were equally annoyed, but the announcers were just Just garbage. I like someone like that. They felt like they were white actors. It is what it felt like I I had I had a problem with most of the smaller roles As far as them just not being believable. The other guy on the cricket team that was a dick to him He was he was terrible And so those it kept coming in and kept drawing me out of what I wanted to be, you know Immersed like you said if it didn't bother you it didn't bother you, but it bothered us I will say not knowing the sport very well I think his cricket playing and everyone else's cricket playing. I was convinced he was a cricket player I I was convinced I was watching cricket. Yeah at a high level. Yeah, so that was nice There was no tension for me. It wasn't like the natural It wasn't like any great sports film where I'm genuinely wondering what's gonna happen Or even like the the previous boxing film we just saw the tolu the tamo One that we you know, we really loved that had a little more like uniqueness and the like kind of suspension Like oh, is he is he going to right end up winning right like you didn't you didn't know that to the to the very end So yeah, it was a little more predictable Then and the other thing probably one of the things that was the most bothersome for me and it's it's not The score The composer is extremely talented. That's no doubt. He's an over the top. Oh my it was so over scored I several times after about an hour and a half of the film I just I yelled at the tv and said please just can we have one scene where there's no music Let them just talk. Yeah, that's uh, that's a common problem I've had with some indian films is the overscoring This was really over But the composer is incredible. Oh the song's the main theme. Yeah beautiful. Yeah, I'm listening to it I'm like, you know what? I'd love to just listen to this music as a standalone. Yeah, but it's not fitting the storytelling for me Yeah, um, but also I do the cinematography in this. I thought was actually really nice really nice Um, because it actually felt a lot like a hollywood film. Honestly, it's very clean. It was very, uh, consistent Uh, it was probably the best thing about the film for the cinematography. Um, so Yeah, I don't I don't want to totally harp on the entire thing because I know you guys are if you if you Didn't like that review you probably already left or you're currently writing an angry comment and I just got my my major thing because I always go back to purpose driven things and It's This is the kind of film that makes itself very clear that it's telling a story and that there's going to be a moral to the story and the overall moral to the story of his decision making and what he's doing and this not giving up on your dream Uh, this isn't in my opinion. You can disagree with me. I think this is an incredibly unhealthy Way to go about living your life. There are some dreams you need to die to there are some things If I wanted to be an NBA player and just changed everything I was doing right now because that was my dream since I was a kid That would be an incredibly irresponsible decision. I'm not saying this is comparable to that I'm just giving that as an example of All dreams are not something you should pursue as it pertains to him The thing at the end First of all, he made it very clear that his whole identity and this is one of the things I have a problem with If your identity Is based on what you do and not who you are That's a problem because when you cease to do what you do Then what happens to your identity? Clearly for him Without cricket He wasn't anything and that's a terrible message to send to your kid. It's a terrible thing to let him out Even with a loving wife and and a kid who loves you very very much, right? When he slapped his kid, I'm like you son of a bitch Kid did nothing wrong. Why are you taking it out on him? I don't much have a problem with with that and well in terms of the the idea of it I do and like if a head of rugs like you're stop doing that in terms of a film portraying that I don't have a problem with that because I don't have a problem with films telling stories about shitty people who I don't agree with Um, my challenge is that young people can watch this and think that's that's what you should do that If you want to be a cricket player at 36 Whether your wife likes it or not do it because that's more important than your wife And then you know what? If you have a heart condition that you know is going to kill you pursuing it You should do it too because then you'll leave her as a widow great call guy Yeah, I don't much think about the audience when I watch a film. I always think about but I But I agree with you in terms of yes He's a shitty person I mean you have to think about the audience because the moral tells a story and then they're going to walk Away from that. How many films have inspired people to make life changing decisions about their life? Many countless many but all same reason. I don't I don't harp kabeer saying for For telling a story about a shitty person. I don't know but that's that I think that's really different but that's funny you mentioned that because I'd like to see shahid make some different choices because this is so obvious of something. He's done where he's the bad boy Yeah, it's very kabeer sing-esque, right? Uh, I'd like to see him go back to shakespeare That's one thing that I that was curious because it wasn't really the performance that was the problem At least the man guys performance That was the problem in this film and it's being directed by the exact same person. Um That the only other thing that I see different is I think this guy who was in bahubali that we we just saw as well Is played by shahid's dad. I think Um, and so then he's a good actor, but once again, that wasn't really the issue here So they'd have to make a quite a few changes To this I to I think make it and yes, we haven't said it but I have to We can't stand dubbing. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I just don't mention that anymore. You know, I don't like the the dub sound The non-sync sound uh of the of the films it's just it it takes away from the performance takes away from believability But again, I don't like to mention any more just because it's it's pointless. Um, but yeah So that's one of the things I am confused about the remake They have to change quite a bit in order for me to like this film if it's a cut for cut remake I don't know that I'm gonna feel any different because it wasn't really the performance So I don't know. It's like, you know, I'm sure shahid's going to do a great job It wasn't really nani's fault that the film didn't do well In my mind, it's like, why do you want to retell this story? Yeah, I just we'll see but uh, yeah I'm sure you already told us why we're dumb in the comments But uh, let us know what the next telugu film should be Uh down in the comments because we are we're gonna continue to watch it continue to watch and yeah So we have a particular we don't have a bias toward certain regions. Well, you know what the big problem was There's no rumbier. That's true. If a friend of your had been at it It would have been a hundred times better everything about everything about it
