 What were you thinking when you selected this movie because it's quite interesting as I was watching this movie? No, it was timing. Yeah, no, it was I just pulled it and that's what won. Really? Welcome back to our stupid reaction to the episode of Corbin. I'm a grandpa. Yeah, and you follow us on Instagram too? No! So cute. If you see God Ted there's a lot of paint job followers, just do it a couple of times. Okay, score. Bye! Follow us on our personal YouTube channels, things right down there for you. And if you don't know what he's talking about, follow us on Instagram. That's right, because the voice you just heard that said it's so juicy, she's now a mom because she's my daughter. Therefore, I have a granddaughter. Exciting. Follow us all, well, especially him because he's the one posting about it. Yeah, all over the place. But anyway, today we were reacting, I mean reviewing the Hindi film Badai Ho, which was I think one of the first trailers we reacted. It was really early. It was right as we were getting acquainted with him. I think it was after we either watched Andahan. Yes, but we hadn't yet seen... If I'm remembering correctly, we had seen Andahan, but we hadn't yet seen him when we went to the theaters and saw him as the cop. Yeah, in Article 15. Yeah, we hadn't seen that yet. It was pretty early on, but it's a... A man is embarrassed and finds out as much pregnant. Okay, that's it. Pretty accurate. I don't know if that's how they pitched it to the studios, but no, that's accurate. And it's called a comedy drama. I called it a family drama with some comedy. I agree. Yeah, that's... I would say a more family drama with some comedy. I agree. But directed by, say his name, directed by Amit Ravananath Sharma, who did Tavar with... Oh, no, I'm thinking of something different. Tavar is with... He did direct that, but that's with Manoj and Arjun Kapoor. Yeah, I thought it was Telavar with... Oh, yeah, I know. But let's see... Starring Ayush and Karana and Nina Gupta and Gajraj Rao and Sanyama Khotra. Yeah, Sanyama Khotra. Where do we stand? And Sureka Secret. I have a lot to say. Okay, cool. But anyways, 100% spoiler reads. If you haven't watched it, go watch it, come back. If you don't want to be spoiled, if you like to be spoiled, you're a naughty little boy. Anyways, Rick has a paragraph. I have a paragraph. Here we go. So here's my paragraph. A really nice and enjoyable family movie, discussing important subject matter with strong acting all around, but most especially strong from the supporting actors portraying the mom, the dad, and especially grandma. Nothing for the film festival, circuit or awards, but not everything has to be. Sometimes you just need to watch a really good movie and this is a really good movie. Yeah, I agree. I have mixed about the film as a whole, but I enjoyed it. There were certain things that we could talk about that I was like, what? What are you talking about? But I did really enjoy the message of the film. Well, and it was extraordinarily applicable for me. I can't disassociate my current experience and the fact that they're having a little girl and the age of people having babies and everything. So it really was quite apropos for me. But yeah, the whole message of ageism and how people treat people that have babies when they're older, which is not just an India thing, but this was holding a mirror up to India. Correct. To everybody saying this is how you treat people that are having sex in a marriage and happen to get pregnant at a certain age. But it happens here in America too. If a 50, 60-year-old person gets pregnant, there's stairs in the statement. I mean, there's not as much as there used to be. Especially in old America, it used to be like a taboo, really? Kind of like it was in here. But now it's empowerment. You're like, okay, why are you complaining? They have a baby. Exactly. I think there was a prominent soloist. Janet Jackson, right? Didn't she just give birth just recently? I think you're correct. Yeah, she's 50. Yeah. So glad that's changing. But that was probably my favorite thing about it. I was expecting it to be a little funnier, just from the trailer, from what I remember. Yeah. But then I found out in the first 15, 30 minutes, I'm like, okay, I'm probably not going to be busting out. Right. And so that's why I described it so more as a family drama with some comedy. Yeah, or then a family comedy. Because unless... It's about a family drama. I could go that far. Unless there's a bunch of cultural stuff we missed. Right. Which was funny. Kind of like it happens. Yeah. Certain cultural things are funny to other people, but that was probably my favorite thing along with the performances as well. Yeah. I thought it probably could have been shorter as well. Yeah. Well, runtime didn't bother me. Probably about 20 to 25 minutes shorter. Okay. But that's about it. Other than that, I actually enjoyed it. There was some stuff we could talk about that I just didn't understand. Like why he apologized to the mom. Didn't understand that at all. I think I do. Yeah. I don't understand it in terms of American culture. Yeah. That wouldn't happen or even be encouraged. She was being a dick. Right. She was a jerk. Oh my goodness. I think it has to do with the fact that it's a cultural thing. And there is a, based on what we understand, we in no way consider ourselves to be experts in any way, shape, or form about Indian culture yet. It's going to be a lot of years before we can begin to comprehend it. Never fully will because we can't empathize. We can grow up in India. We won't have Indian family. We'll never fully empathize with the things that are cultural and relational. Yeah. And we don't have the same level of, we don't understand two things that are immediate in my mind. One, the association of marriage and family. And then it isn't just the uniting of two individuals who love each other. We come from a country where the individual is supreme. Everybody has their personal rights and their personal freedoms. My understanding and it's represented in the film and what I've heard about different things and why marriage can be such a problematic thing is that it's viewed as a familial event, not a romantic event first and not a relational event. It's familial. And who you marry is going to have a direct impact on the family's reputation standing all of the above. Right or wrong, I'm just saying that aspects are there. And then the apology part of it is also this expectation of respect and care for the elderly. Which we have respect and care for the elderly, but we don't have. That's being a dick. Yeah, exactly. Like we'll respect you, but if you're not respecting me, there's no more reason for me to respect you if you're not respecting me. Like example, here in America, it's considered a standard right of passage in a cultural norm for a child to grow up and then leave the home and go live their life. Yeah. And then maybe, not an expectation, maybe when the parents are in the twilight of their life, we're talking, they've reached their late 70s, 80s, 90s and they're going to be passing away soon. There's a familial expectation to care for your parent. Not in India. Yeah. You're expected to be caring for your parent all of your adult life. Yeah. And if you don't, it's shameful. Yeah. And that's just one thing. I didn't bother me like in terms of like the film. I was like, okay, obviously it's a cultural thing. It's just something that bothered me in terms of I think you shouldn't have apologized. I'm not even like, okay, I'm sorry that I might have raised my voice at you, but I'm not going to apologize for defending my family. You were being an asshole. That's the apology I would have given. Technically not an apology, but if that's what they wanted to keep up the relationship, whatever. But we could talk about the performances as well. Please do. You should have cried. I thought I did well. He's always good. Yeah. But this is what I think wasn't a performance that he was going to shine in. Yeah. It's not even a character role. No. He's a great man. Like the person that things happen to that you react and you're supposed to sympathize with, even though I didn't sympathize with him because of. Yeah. No, at the very beginning, when he's going through what he's going through, I'm irritated with his character. You know, I'm like, come on, stop being such a juvenile. When she called him that, you're being a juvenile. I'm like, that's basically everybody's in a film. I know. But I had to remember this is the way the character's written and I promise you knowing his films, this guy's going to come full circle. He's going to have a character. Yeah. That's one of the things I really, really enjoyed is that they were basically holding a mirror up to India. This is what you do. Change. Right. Kind of like some of Amir Khan's films do. They have this message in society. Very good comparison. And I enjoyed that about this film. The people that I really thought changed, just like you said. One, I thought this was a friend from Kahani for a second. Oh, yeah. No. I thought it was a very similar phrase. Yeah. They have a similar phrase. But we've seen him before as well. Tel Aviv with Irfan. We saw him there. Yeah. I think we've seen him in a few other things. He did really, really well. He had a character arc that I thought we were going to hate him in the beginning because remember he wasn't going to tip the guy. Yeah. But then he totally changed. He became like us after he was like, she didn't want to get an abortion, right? Basically after that moment, he became almost a sweet father very much and very caring. You know, there's cultural things where I'm like, just take up for your wife. Right. It gets to grandma. It gets to grandma. I know. But you know, I was like, whatever. I know. Cultural, whatever. Okay. Yeah. Because culturally in America, it would be mom, wife, husband, husband defend the wife. Against the mom. Against mom. Yeah. It isn't, mom is not always right. In fact, if mom- Once you become married, your significant other is the most important person. 100%. That's American culture. Yeah. Well, at least I guess it should be in my opinion. Yeah. There were certain times where I wish he was stuck up, but I liked his character arc. He became a really sweet kind. He was really excited after why he really got into it. I love the depiction as well. One of my favorite things about the film and what I loved about the two actors who portrayed him so believably was from the get-go, the fact that here's a couple who's been married for decades and they're still in love with each other. That night, the thunder was, you know, he was reading her poetry and the thunder's going, which bids for the romantic. And then later on, I loved when she was dressed up and came downstairs and he saw her and how here he is after years. She's still his sweetheart and he's still even more. I'm a big advocate for something. This whole idea of falling out of love to me is I always liken it this way with when I talk to Indrani. I view it as this. I call it forever falling and it's every day, the more I get to know her and the more I'm falling more in love and it's deepening and it's widening. And I saw that in their relationship. I saw the deepening and the widening with experience in life and how they were even more in love now than ever before. The grandma. She had a great over, too. I didn't expect that at the end. A lot of the times, we see people portray someone who is elderly and they get somebody who looks elderly and the acting's fine. Not really good. Everybody in the cast, that lady impressed me the most. I was like, who is that lady? She's got to have a lot of experience. I bet she's theater trained. I bet her real personality is very different from this character. Is that the case? That is the case. Yeah, Indrani sent me a picture of her when she started acting. Was she in depth? Which she was a much younger woman and she was a strikingly pretty young woman. We saw her in depth. Oh, I haven't looked at a resume. I just know from Indrani, she told me, all three of those people, the parents and the grandma are very experienced actors. But she, from my, I just thought she had a great experience. She also, just like the son, I thought we were going to hate her. Because, you know, she was being an asshole. Yeah, I thought she was going to be the antagonist. To the wife. And, you know, she was just yelling at people and she was yelling at her son and the son wasn't sick enough for her. But then she didn't have that whole rant against the other people in the marriage when she was like, she's always been there for me. Right. She had that moment. Yeah, that was beautiful. Yeah, she had a great, her whole monologue she gave during that scene. I thought it was really great and I thought she did really well as well. Yeah, I liked her a lot. As well as the wife. It was hard, I mean, for my own and I know your view aren't right on the same page with me. To see people being, to see that mom and dad by both the sons and the son especially and, you know, by a Yushman and the grandma. To see a happily married couple being shamed for having an active sex life. Yeah, that was the funniest thing. Come on. And it was a great line. Who also I thought did a great job and I'd like to see more from her. Son, yeah. Mahotra. Yeah, she was a girl friend. She was a girl friend. Yeah, I thought she did great. Me too. She's a great look as well. Yeah, totally agree. I'd like to see more from her. I thought she did a really good job. Apparently so in Dango. Was she one of the girls? The young girls? Was she one of the wrestling sisters? No, no, no, no, no, because Dango, oh, I guess it was when they got older she could have been. Yeah, not the young ones but the actual competing older ones. Maybe she was. But anyways, because if she was she did great in there as well. Yeah. But I thought she did great. Me too. But the whole line she was like, okay, let's say we get married. Right. You think we're just going to stop having sex when we get to 50. Right, exactly. Exactly. So I don't want a part of this. Yes. And that's, that's obviously stigma. Obviously you don't want to think about your grandparents having sex. Yeah. You don't want to think about anybody and your family having sex. That's not a picture you want to have but you know what happens and you don't want to discourage any happy marriage from. Heck no. From being happy together. Yeah. That makes no sense. No. But it's a stigma all over the world. It really is. And I don't understand and we were talking about this even before we started filming about the obliterating stereotypes because I remember when I was a little boy I thought when I became a grandpa I was going to be what I saw grandpas to be when I was a little boy. Yeah. Which were they were in the Twilight of their life. They were sitting in a chair smoking a pipe. They were overweight. They didn't do it physically. They're probably not doing the vocation they used to do and their job is to play around with the grandkids all the time and then in about 10, 15 years they'll be dead. I was just playing in the pool yesterday. Day after Evie was born and I'm thinking to myself I don't feel much different and I do virtually everything I've done physically since I was 15. Now I'm blessed with great health but sadly Indian people, American people all over the world there are folks who when they hit 50 they're like well I guess I'm going to die soon and I've never understood it. So it's like why wouldn't you be thinking about you're at 50 why aren't you thinking about the fact that you're still going to have decades of vibrant life ahead of you including your sex life. Yeah. And that you could have had a generation of kids that fully grow up and then you might have a surprise or you might intentionally someone gets widowed and gets remarried or they get divorced remarried and then they have another round of children. That's what's wrong with that. Yeah. So it's still a stigma even here especially that you have older kids as well and then you end up getting pregnant when you're older. Right. Because now for some reason obviously people are concerned with the kids having to relate to the younger sibling. Or if they're at marrying age and having kids of their own. They're like OK. So they're going to have a brother who's the same age as them. Oh yeah. And so it's a big stigma not just in India. This was just obviously displaying the India side of it. But it happens everywhere. It happens here in America. It happens everywhere. And I would say here I think you'd agree with me. The biggest stereotype stigma is that when a woman gets pregnant over 40 the primary concern that anybody has is health. Oh yeah. It's obviously just the health. It's just the way women's bodies are made. Correct. It's actually more difficult. I think Steph was telling me at the over the age of 40 you're high risk. High risk. It's just the nature of your body. Usually in at least in America you'll be scheduled to seize action. Correct. Not like. Because they don't want to put your body through the strength. Through the strength. Correct. So you know there's different concerns but the fact that obviously it wasn't just the kids that were upset or the grandmother that was sad. It was the other families like how would they look on the family. Which is something that's completely foreign to us here. We're like I don't give a how people view you. Go yourself. Those words. What will people think? I don't care. I don't care. But you know to a certain extent because there are things that we do incorporate. We're like wow I you know what will. Example. When Andrani and I first started expressing our love for each other the big thing in our minds and the biggest concern we both had and then Drani especially was are Ashley Alexis and Mike are going to be okay with that. What will those people think? Everybody else. Oh yeah. Who cares. That's an immediate family who are close to a situation like that and it's a situation of your life. I understand that. The current American metropolis mind of thinking is that. Correct. There's different ones. The Hispanic community is exactly more similar to the Indian community. In many respects. They're very close knit and it's all family family family. I don't think it's as much but it is very close knit and then the South families as well. Correct. People in like rural America. Correct. Are similar as well. Yeah. But for the most part for Americans it's me and my family and then our parents and our siblings. Yeah. And then maybe. You're a maybe a family. Maybe a close ant. Right. Like one. Correct. And that's about it. Right. Other than that you're like oh cool. Hi family. But then it's they're not really as important. They're almost strangers sometimes. Yeah. And it does it does obviously simplify a complex problematic issue. Wouldn't it be wonderful of all of the situations where this happened. Had a progressive grandma who realized something and had a massive worldview change of her life. That'd be nice. And the other family members because the women she was talking to you could tell there was a semblance of not just being ashamed but they felt like maybe they were wrong. Maybe they repented over that and said I'm sorry and they all came to the wedding. That you know I that was Hollywood eyes. Yeah. Obviously most things in life the old the grandma goes to her grave cursing them for having done something outside of her blessing and but the ultimate truth won't take away from this and the message it gives which we love and he seems usually seems to choose things that always have I think probably the Vicki Donner's probably this similar thing know about it's obviously very different subject. I would have just changed the the trailer because the trailer at least maybe it's another loss in translation thing. Right. But it looked like it was supposed to be a laugh out loud. I did think it was going to be more valuable. That's what I thought. Yeah. It didn't end up being it and that's fine. That's fine. But I would have just changed the trailer to at least be more to what it actually ended up being. Unless like you said at the outset unless there's a lot of stuff in there that's peppered throughout that is more funny for Indians because they get to just like the the Oxshade thing we saw. Exactly. The Indians think that films hilarious and we're like, I don't understand what is going on. Why do you like this? Right. But you know if that's the case then that's the case. It's just loss in translation. Comedy is hard to translate in some way. Right. I hope the baby you have is going to be a boy so you can have the trinity. I knew that was a humorous thing she was saying but if you grew up in India and maybe you had a grandma that said that you might find that to be a belly laugh. I don't know. I also thought it was hilarious that when the mom got in the car she said somebody told her to keep her left leg up. Oh. I didn't pick up on that. I didn't pick up on that. Something stupid. You know that doesn't mean anything. Yeah. I didn't pick up on that. There's little obviously stuff that older generations tell younger generations like pregnancy, little old wives tales. Old wives tales. Yeah. If you're left leg up. Yeah. I thought that was funny. There was a few other things that I did giggle at but there was never a belly laugh. Yeah. Did you ever belly laugh out loud? No. I chuckled. Yeah. But I didn't laugh like I didn't belly belly. That's why using that as an example. Yeah. That's why I thought and all in all I as I said at the outset I really I really enjoyed the movie and I find the the overall message there's several but the one in here of I really hope I remember we were watching and reacting to Game of Thrones people were astonished that I was watching Game of Thrones with my kids and I'm like yeah I want my kids to have a great sex life not prudes we don't mind watching a sex scene. I really I'm sorry for any of you who grow up in are living in families and homes where where sex is is considered taboo or shame and I hope that that can change for a lot of people who are living in atmospheres like that. You can't necessarily change the older generations a lot of the time because they're already they know that they know that they know but sex is a gift that I wish more people could be comfortable especially especially parents with their kids you know not that you have to talk about your sex life with your kid behind the door you weren't saying you have sex with your kid yeah no that's frowned on in many places but to be you know I've always said this I want my kids to have wonderful blessed happy sex life and I know they want the same for me we don't talk about our sex life but it's probably the best yeah because I don't I don't want you to there's you really shouldn't be talking to anybody about your sex life except the person you're having sex with that person anyways well let us know what's next a youthman Karana film we should watch I know you guys a bunch that we have to get to and any of the any of the other four cast members all the cast was great yeah there was not a weak link I believe everybody yep me too so that was great let us know what's next film we should watch once again there's a Hindi playlist there's Malayalam playlist Telugu Tamil Bengali Bengali Possumies yeah there is a playlist of reviews so you can go check those out let me know if you thought about the film down below and think about Rick having sex
