 It looks like You just had it with the squirrel and we're just trying to kill it and hack down all the bushes No, I just needed to trim it, but it was awesome because the squirrel used those I'm in a war with a squirrel Hey, what back to our stupid erection to eat some Corbin Thanks, I'm patreon follows for the countering about them case what back it's also a person Dare you hey, we're doing a movie And I'm assuming you already saw the title of this long time coming for this one Um, I think we're the first actually do a review of this film. No No I think we're the first ones ever see this film Maybe I don't think anybody's seen this film. This is gonna make cajole and srk big start I think I got good vibes But we are reviewing dd lj or How do you what do you how do you actually say it? Uh Del wally dohani a legion gap and I think it was a song and I know I'm mispronouncing But directed and written by a Aditya Aditya Chopra Wally dohani a legion gap and then produced by yash Chopra starring some unknown So sure look con uh Cajole Another up-and-coming actor. I'm rich puri. I'm rich puri I think he's gonna be a big star someday and then a whole bunch of other people But those are probably the three main ones. I suppose um But uh, it's just There's every single one of you think everybody Fill pretty much everybody in the cinematic universe has seen this film except us Yeah, and so now we have rick your initial thoughts, please um Okay, go It's like hajmola That's all I thought you wanted it. Yeah, I was part of it I had a two-fold I had a two-fold reason for the hajmola and the first one was I was gonna eat some hajmola And say that's the movie because I I am so thankful For you stupid babies and the core of the stupid family Who knew to wait Yeah Because if I had seen this even six months ago, I would have responded to it differently Then I did now just now. Yeah, for sure because but did you end up enjoying it in the end? Yes Me too Yeah, I okay, but let me let me give some caveats here. Okay. I literally um Built us up to this film And I said because I knew we were gonna watch one of their srk good joel films at one point and I so I basically said Go in with no expectations and just like you're gonna enjoy this film Right just just try to enjoy and take your critic hat off and I'm very glad I did that Because that's how I was able to enjoy this there was parts that strange me Oh, I was trained I was strained that I was like if they were out of there I probably would have actually loved the film honestly. Yeah, it stretched me Um, but I ended up liking the film and enjoying it as a romantic Film and I was at the end me and my wife turned to like that was a fun rom-com. I enjoyed that one Yeah, it's it. We're not talking any because it's always confusing for some people when they're like we like this film Oh, we didn't like this film right every film is great and on a different thing a comedy like like let's say um hot rod Is I think an a plus comedy that doesn't mean that in another a plus film the godfather Are like equal films, but they can be judged differently and still both be a's in their respective tiers Exactly. That's why on my list of all-time favorite films 30 to 40 percent of those Have never been nominated for a thing. Yeah, so I just wanted to preference it with that Yeah, you guys can understand where we're coming from and why we enjoyed the film Yeah, but let's talk about the acting first. Yeah, uh, kajole Loved her Yeah, I she was probably almost my favorite part of this film No, she is my favorite part of the film. She's taking nothing away from srk. Yeah kajole is my favorite part of the film She did so well. Yep. She had so much chemistry and so much screen presence Yep, I'm excited to see a lot more of her because I thought she just did she knocked this one out of the park I absolutely agree. I was every moment. She was on screen. I was happy So much so that I had to do a research thing and I wasn't surprised to find out that her dad is a Bengali His name is Mukherjee. Oh, is he yeah Um, I just there was this quality about her especially a farther away shot There were times I was looking at her. I was like, man very reminiscent a lot of Indrani Which obviously I have an endearment toward anything that reminds me of Indrani But beyond that small endearment. Yeah, just her capacity to Have an incredible screen presence, which is the x factor that nobody can create You just you have it or you don't and the two of them together are two x factors They have great chemistry. They're just great together. I see what everybody's talking about They have just something What they talk that's why they do screen tests for films Yes, they see who has good chemistry and these two just their chemistry is off the charts I know a lot of people said they were like when they were kids, they were very upset to find out They weren't actual real couple, right, you know who her husband is hers. No AJ Devgun. Oh, is it really? Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Have they a long time. They've been married I'm assuming they've done a film together. Which film is it? That's a good question I would like to see them together. They probably have great chemistry Yeah, I think they've been married since like 99. Oh, speaking of chemistry. Remember Dilda Huckmadu Have Ranvir and her had good chemistry. Yeah, it's because they dated for a long time. Oh, well, there there you go Sorry, that was just a random thing after the review. Yeah, I I thought she did a I thought she did a great job I thought that she played everything She was one of my favorite moments with her Was she didn't even have a line? It's srk talking to the mom talking to the mom Yeah, I thought the same thing and she's just sitting there in the moment and being very believable listening and genuine emotion And I thought this is what her better moments in the movie right now. Yeah, absolutely Yep, and so it was really fun. Shahrukh Khan. I thought did it. I did a good job Like I said, he has a good chemistry He was probably the one the part of the film that was the hardest to get into When he was when he was that then when he was the big right I like it too Rajasthanalism and that character that we saw in Rajasthanalism in terms of he was just falling don't say he was that the whole film He was extremely over the top in the parts where he was supposed to be the The the quirky the quirky jokester bad boy And the the the hit him the yeah the dubbing sound Didn't help nor did his and I know it's an endearing thing, but there were sometimes when he he Yeah So that's what I was talking about if if I think I yelled out at multiple times. I'm like, I just just bring it down 20 notches, please Shahrukh Khan I want to love this film. That's what I loved in this film compared to say like they'll say Is that in this film or it was endearing there were moments It was very obvious to me that what he was doing were clearly choices that he wanted and the director wanted It wouldn't surprise me if on set he did stuff and the director said I need more I need it bigger because in the dramatic moments. Oh, he was good. I enjoyed it was grounded Reminded me of them in in my name is cause. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I thought he did it like those parts like I think half the time It's just the other half. It's like Here's the thing that helped me in the same way that you said setting the hat to side help, right? I gave him I gave him a long leash. Yeah another thing that helped me was I now have a frame of reference for this kind of film Which um, I think I could go into most films now. Yeah, if I know it's this style I could be like, okay, I definitely do for a couple of reasons and this one's special We'll get into it in a second about why this one's More special than other of the bollywood films. Yeah, and the thing that helped me was As I was watching it arrived as I started and I don't know if I mentioned this to you. I thought American cinema has something comparable and it's the beach movies of the 1960s Elvis Elvis Frankie Avalon. Yeah, Annette Finicello. Yeah, the beach movies. Yeah, they're terrible But I love them. Yeah, they're not on my favorite lists Yeah, but if it's on TV, I would watch it just because it's so funny and campy and stupid Yeah, this falls into that category. Yeah in some aspects for sure. This definitely overall The songs were just phenomenal. I loved we've seen a few of them Um, and they were like the ones where him and Kajola. She's drunk great song. Uh, then then, uh, there was I think even he's great speed. I've never seen him Well, I put in my notes when he was pounding. I put in the notes. It's better than underhunt But then he started to play. Yeah, and I'm like, yeah, no But like I was like, okay, so this is weird I was like, that's kind of a funny moment and then he literally went into like he's the one of the actual playing greatest I thought that was great song I thought a lot of the songs and that's one of the things that that kept this film running Is that one their chemistry was great But then they they kept bringing on songs We're great So fun and so enjoyable to watch and one of the reasons why obviously these films are so popular is because You could just sit and watch these songs and it's just fun to watch. Absolutely every single 90 shower con song Yeah is he just does so well in them. Um, and so I He was if he was grounded, uh, like I'm not saying like he needs to be like an oscar worthy performance But if he was just like I'd say bring it down 10 notches on a lot of this part I probably could have loved this film. Yeah, but I did but I would like enjoying this film and I would watch it again It's just he's the part that was like but at the same time. I think about it in the same way. I think about Um, some of the stuff in rocky horror tim curry aside because tim curry's tim curry. Yeah I mean the other folks like susan sarandon. Yeah, young susan sarandon. Yeah where Looking back at it. I bet if I watch this over and over again I'd be like nah, I kind of like him this stupid. Yeah, maybe like there was a point When it just got over the top he goes into the room with them When they check into the room and he uh before the drunk song. Yeah, and he dives head first into the bed And then he's got his face in the black and he just he's doing this And then his he sees the dad and he's got the the lassie is you You I also think it might have been better if they had sink sound like actual set because yeah, but better Yeah, his was the worst though. Well, I don't know why his was the worst, but like it's kind of part of what It's so buzz. It's like hajmola Yeah, it's like the thing I first tasted and went that is the one of the worst things I've ever put in my Mouth and then later on I put it in. I'm like, but that's mostly just Him in the film. That's like hajmola. Yeah compared to Joel doesn't do the rest of the film. Isn't all that bad and uh I'm exploring. I love multiple times. I thought he was going to rip somebody's heart out. Yeah Take two give you know what if you know that reference that's a compliment guys. Yeah Don't start going off on temple of doom. We know him from the temple of doom But that was our first exposure in the big I thing which he gets all angry Yes, we think he's just gonna rip somebody's heart all we knew him from all of our lives before this channel was That's all we knew and we've seen in a few just recently. Yes, it was great. We need to get on a binge I thought he did a great job. Great job. He was easily easily easily easily Unlikable Easily unlikable. Yeah with a strong presence and that takes me a good segue into the other thing about the film That I really like that I read up on the film in terms of its history and its placement in Indian cinema, right huge So the another thing I love about the film is that it's got heart. Yeah, it does It really wants to convey some serious messages while it's being campy Uh, whereas for example, something like grease is really just pure campiness. There's really not Let's be happy. You know what I mean? Yeah, this movie has several really strong messages It's got that message about Love someone and and don't go into a life that you're being forced into that you don't want. Yeah very much ahead of the curve in terms of I love the moment when the mom watches her and they're Secretly, but she sees them eating and they wrap their arms when they're eating and her first response is She can't be doing this and then she remembers the things that she thought and said And she's like my daughter's not going to make the same mistakes like That's pretty the powerful for a campy film. The mom is it. Yeah, she was great. Is it what's her name? Uh for me to Jamal. Is that her? Yes, I believe she is. She did a great job. Also great character Well written well because it was very complex. Yep She kind of like she used to want to be this free-spirited and then she kind of just got tied down into what society Yes, or since she was like I'm never going to let my daughter do this and then she was like Oh, I'm letting my daughter do it. So it's like a with I I read up the history on this and I'm sure we're just scratching the surface But I know this was a turning point in bollywood and I saw it throughout the film this um Reaching out to for the terminology is the diaspora the the nri the indians outside of india especially in england because that's a primary place that they first went And how consistently we would see and hear We heard it from him, you know at the very beginning it opens with him, you know feeding the birds And this combination of I can be in this place and love this place and not lose my indianness And charuk said the same thing with his character this constant sense of We can live in other parts of the world and embrace the places we live And never forget where we came from and never lose our indianness. Yeah, and I I understand that this film was a huge turning point not just in bollywood's Reach to that audience that had gone out from india But as a genre like this is a genre shaping film in the history of indian cinema Also the chauvin con obviously this is what transported him into super start-up. Yeah, this this is his Yeah, this was like catapulted him into and he's Clearly gotten better as an actor. Yeah, because I mean I think we've seen Unless I'm wrong some of his best performances. Yeah from what we've already seen of chauvin con But that that's why I like this. This is what this is what he was Made him and I this is why I like this more than I liked He'll say because and he'll say it was the the quirky over the top All the time. Yeah, it was just always at a 10 10 10 10 10. Well, he was at 100 at this film sometimes Sometimes but I was so grateful for the moments and here's another interesting thing I'm glad I saw this after we saw Uh, I mean Akbar. Yeah. Yeah, Akbar Anthony. Yeah, because you got somersault in there You did but this that prepped me for this Yeah, I really think that having seen that first being so weird being so weird. Yeah, for sure This isn't as weird. No, it's not as weird. It definitely has some of those moments that which, you know I loved um, you're up our anthony for all those weird moments, but this had some of those Unlogical moments. Yeah, but that nothing like no, no, no like that That was all unlogical and I loved it But this had some of those that were like you kind of just I When I see those things now, I'm just like, oh, that's cool I I enjoy those unlogical moments like the fact that they have a picture and you don't know who the fuck took that picture like There was no cameraman there But there's a perfect snapshot of them and then the fact that like they get from one place to another in a lickety split A dad comes within a day. Oh, yeah, like there's so many things that just Strain credulity that but you just don't care in this because that's how it meets movies They're just like the kind of the world that they set up. Yeah, and you know I could see like if like if it's not your cup of tea and you you're you're expecting anything Other than what this film is. I could see how you could probably be like, oh like if you're going in expecting like swadesh You're gonna be very disappointed. Oh, absolutely But that's a great comparison. Yeah, because I see a lot of similarities of the heart of the films Yeah, very very similar that film is a lot more believable in terms of it's everything's all natural grounded It's it's all that story. It's a true story. This is a pure Bollywood film and that's where I go back to the hajmola comparison Because as we're being exposed again, thank you stupid family for teaching us and Taking us on the journey because it Like hajmola or pond there are some dishes that are really an acquired taste and at first blush My if I had if this had been the first movie we watched. Yeah Yeah, I would have found nothing in it that I like. Yeah for sure at all. You wouldn't understand what exactly what is going on No, and it's it really is a great lesson in the appreciation of global cinema because you not only have to get past Sub titles in global cinema, which when I say get past that makes no sense to you and I But one of the other things with with each place in the world and each region in India Is you need to understand something about the particularities not only of that culture But This is a genre that nowhere else in the world. Yeah, this is their they made this genre Yeah, and it's it's obviously a piece of Bollywood history in terms of this shaped a lot of what came after sure It it turned it was a giant turning point. Yeah, so I I enjoyed it. I would definitely watch it again. Oh, I would absolutely if it was on I'd be like, okay, cool I'd be happy if it was on TV. Yeah. Oh, yeah Yeah, so this is one of those like and I know people are gonna be very it always happens like you like this and you like Guys, you can you can like other things for different reasons and don't like certain things because of different reasons Yes, and it's fine if you hate this film. I don't care and even disagree Yeah, it's one thing to say, okay I like this and I didn't like that and there's another thing to see awful cinematography and say it's good cinematography Yeah, that's not what we're talking about. Yeah, we're talking about the overall genre the story the message Both the style of acting a film and I could see why people love it I can absolutely see and I'm actually I'm excited to watch more srk cajol Uh, yeah cajol has but I've there's an endearing now in my heart for cajol And I know she did seven together. I want to see them all So I think we know we have a parameter now in terms of I I don't think I'd be afraid now If I'm like, okay, this is another srk cajol film. This is what I can expect I would be excited for the rock. I absolutely. I'm not saying that we'll all be good And hey, how about the fact that I didn't know that there was another person who did a towel dance cajol does a towel dance in the beginning. Yeah, she does. Yeah, that was a little bit risky Which was a fun she's more risqué than I think a lot of the stars that we've seen and so Yeah, let us know what's the next srk cajol film together or separately. Yeah, uh, that we should I know there's um the uh The one with all of them srk cajol rithic krina, right and we see uh, we've seen a bunch of songs Yeah, early on uh, well in and more recently the the cringy rithic one Yeah, but wasn't one of our first ones a son. We're like, yeah, we don't know who they are We don't know who they are. Yeah, um, but I know that one. It's it's different in terms of It's a big family melodrama Oh, so it's it's not as probably as happy as this Is I don't know but it's it's equally as beloved but I think I don't know if that's gonna be the next one but I know going in what to expect now and I think I would be excited especially because shower conscious He has such good songs He does. He has such good songs and I'll tell you what cajol Again the stuff to go back to I will some point down the road after we've watched a couple of films with srk I'm gonna go back and watch jill say again And I think I may have a barfee moment Because remember when we first watched barfee, I was like, eh rand beer was I just I didn't hit me right Then I saw it again. I was like, oops my bad. I was wrong. I think I'll appreciate him more But that one was even though I I enjoyed that film. I don't It wasn't like anything amazing. I think is what I said It was I enjoyed the film as a whole but it also wasn't 90s either. It wasn't like it was more newer It was never but it was that over the top. Yeah, I mean, I'd like to say I would do devdots, but I don't know Oh, I'll do devdots any day of the week Let us know what's the next uh classic bollywood shower con cajol film we should watch is and uh What was that? Uh, what was their their song? Oh, I was I almost brought the guitar I was gonna bring the The theme that was constantly coming back. Yeah, I was gonna play I let that run in your brain. It's not this I don't know why running out with that
