 What are you doing down there? What is that? Nothing. No, I hear something. What are you doing? Nothing. Are you recording? Yeah, I'm recording. Go ahead. Oh. Hey, welcome back to our stupid directions. You did some Corbin. I'm Rick. And you can titillize us on our Instagrams and tools. Is that better than following us? You can titillize us on our Instagram and Twitter for more juicy content if you titillize us. Yes. Also, call this number down below for free money. See, see, those of you who didn't skip the intro. You won't get free money. You didn't know about these. That's right, everyone. Sniders of Hanover mustard pieces. Oh, I thought those are Big B's tasty nuts. They already had those. And today we are doing a movie review because that's what we do in this channel. Yes. And when we do one that you guys don't like, you don't like us anymore. Oh, well, sorry about that. I know. Sorry about that. But you know, like everybody, like videos say we're just using India for views. We don't ever say anything negative about India or their content, right, Rick? Go watch our DevTrip review. Anyway, today we are reviewing God, I can't even say the name of this film. Bull, which I believe means ghost. No, boot means ghost because Vicky Hrishal had that ghost film and it was called boot. Anyways, bull, bullia, bull, bullia. I think that's pretty close to that or bull, bullia. And I believe I looked it up and it means like labyrinth or maze. Oh, I believe that's what the title of it means. But and in our eye and his wife, this was an NRI. NRI. Yeah, you don't remember that. No, what was it? Indian from America. Oh, got you. Sorry. I'm dumb. An NRI and his wife decide to stay in his ancestral home, paying no heed to the warnings about ghosts. Soon in conceivable occurrences occur him to call a psychiatrist to help solve the mystery. Yes. And it's directed by your mom. Yes. Oh, that's why it won't work. OK, sorry, my screen was getting wonky there. Priyadasham Priyadasham. Yes, which, by the way, that's it. The technical NRI is they call a lot of Indians in America that it just means non resident Indian. Oh, yeah, that's right. I remember us learning about that. OK. But it's directed by. Can you say the director's name? If you have it up or do you not have it up? I do have it up. Priyadasham. And we've come across his name before, but he's done a lot of work. Like we've we've I think there's some some a lot of trailers of his that we've seen, but I'm trying to recall what film of his. Maybe we've seen he's done a lot. You know, you've seen in the comedy scene with Akshay when he went like this. Remember that one? He directed that film. We directed the comedy scene of that one. But obviously it's starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balin, whom we know from Kahani. Yep. But Akshay, it's surprising when I thought about it the other day. I was like, and that's why we decided to watch an Akshay film. We haven't seen very much, but it seems like we have, right? I know because he's been the king of cheese. We've seen a lot of his music stuff, but we haven't seen a lot of his films outside of Kusari. I think that was one of the only other ones we saw, right? I think that was the first one we saw. And I don't think we've seen maybe one other of his. It's an overlook because I had it just seems like we've watched a ton of him. I know, which is we have. It's just been in the videos. Anyways, but Rick, initial thoughts of the film? Well, I am not a fan. Well, here's the thing. I think we might not be qualified to actually review this film. Because I think there was a ton of stuff that was lost in translation in terms of comedy. I think you're right. I think there was a ton, because all I ever heard about this film was how hilarious it was. And I laughed in a few parts, but I would never consider it one of the most hilarious films I've ever seen. That's not at all not. I think it's fault because I think a lot was misconstrued in translation. Like I looked up in some comments of our trailer reaction of it. And do you remember the line when Akshay was trying to hear what that guy, that kid's name was, and he kept saying Goti? He said Goti, Goti, Goti, but it just said Goti, right? Yeah, basically means balls. See, that's funny, right? That's funny. We did we did not get that like that ever in the film. There wasn't a point in the left. And as well, like there was a point. I I I sent a message to Indrani while I was watching it and I said, is it should I be laughing whenever somebody gets so scared? An adult says, mommy. Yeah, so. And I was trying my best to say, OK, maybe think of this more like three stooges, think of this more like the kind of comedy that you're, you know, don't don't put it in a its own thing. Let it be its own thing. And maybe she and Johnny even said to me at one point, she said, think of it more like a Scooby-Doo. And I said, well, that doesn't that doesn't help me because I'm not a I know you you're a fan of Scooby-Doo. I don't like Scooby-Doo. So that didn't help me. So yeah, if that's the case, then all of it got lost in translation for me, because for me, it was laborious to sit. I wasn't laughing and I never got engaged with the story. And I never got engaged with any performances. It was it was unfortunately for me, just I was forcing myself to keep watching hoping for something that never materialized. Yeah. What about the end? Yeah, because I agree with you for the film, but the end was I love the end. If the if the whole film was basically like when she was when she became crazy and like she was dressed right all crazy. And then she started to see what she sees and then what they see from there on, I was loving it. I was like, this is that whole sequence and song was amazing. I love that whole song and that whole. Well, that's that's something I want to point out is I did. I'm looking here for one of the messages I sent to Indra Indrani. And that was I'm I can't find it. It's a dog on it. Oh, yeah, the movie has gotten interesting, a Bengali dancer. And I will say I will say I did think all of the songs were really good. Yeah, I I thought all of the musical numbers and songs were really enjoyable. They were a lot of non sequiturs, like a lot of things that happened in a lot of Indian films in the song comes in and it's just supposed to give you a break or an emotion. And I did like Vidya when she was the character full blown and at the end, right at the end, I like Vidya in that. That's what I was talking about from from that. Yeah, when she became that and then you saw what she saw and then you saw what we saw or what the Akshay was seeing like the two parallels and that whole song sequence. And then the exorcism, basically, almost I thought that whole sequence from that point on until the end, I loved it. And I was like, this is fantastic. And this is like my I'm actually engaged in this film. The rest of the film, like I was saying, I'm not sure if we can be qualified to do it. They choose why sometimes I'm very hesitant to watch comedies in another language because comedy is so difficult and it's so subjective. But to translate it from one language into a completely different language and expect that audience to still get all the jokes, even especially when they're not even doing translations, they're just telling us goatee. If they would have said, like if we would have known goatee meant balls, obviously that would have been much funnier. Yeah. Goat balls. Your name's balls. What? And so like, and there was I think a ton of points like that. And then there was a few Akshay parts where I actually laughed. I mean, I wasn't like busting my gut laughing. But like when he was like when he just looked over and he said, I saw it. I thought that was funny. I was like, I don't know why I just that made me laugh. And then when he was crawling on the ground, I don't know when he was somebody came out of the door and then he and then he was just looking on the ground, right? And then he just said, where is it? I don't know why that made me laugh a lot. But that was like those are like the only two parts because that's it was almost like physical comedy so I could understand it, right? The rest of it, I think is cultural stuff that completely went over my head. And it was like what like you were saying, it just dragged on at times because I was like, I was told this is like a hilarious movie. And I'm not seeing any of it. I don't even see where they're supposed to be funny in a lot of these. No, which I don't know how much of that is is what you're referring to, because it very well could be because there are comedies we've seen that we laughed and loved, even the most recent one being which I think is of this genre, which I'm not entirely certain at times I felt like this thing was genre of confused. I didn't think it was a lot of the time. But like Stree, I was I was expecting since I knew going into this from the trailer that this was going to be comedy horror, the last thing you watched that was of that genre was Stree, which we loved and loud at in multiple, multiple spots. Granted, that is newer and and shorter. So that helped, I think, because that was like an hour forty five, I believe Stree was, and this was almost two and a half hours. And so that I think that helps. This was made in 2007. And so that it just seemed even more data because I agree with you. At times, it almost seemed like Devdas style of over dramaticness at times and in certain scenes when they were crying and then at other times it was. I actually like I agree with you, though, in the songs, I think one of the songs when they were on top of the the the cars, you guys can tell me if I'm wrong, but it almost seemed like he was making fun of like SRK songs a little bit. The one where he and the guy are on the top of the thing. Yeah. Yeah. If that's what he was doing, I thought it was kind of funny. I was like, I think I think I know what he's doing. If he's not, you can let me know. That's just what I thought he was they were doing with this. I was like, he's putting his hands up, but he's being really over dramatic cheesy oxy in it. And so there's that. But yeah, the rest of the film, it was just I, like I said, I don't even know if I can be qualified to review this because every Indian we talked to was like hilarious movie. One of my favorites, one of oxy's best. So clearly we are missing something. And I think it was in translation. Yeah, I don't that's hard for me because we haven't had an entire film get lost in translation for us before. And I just there were some we haven't watched a lot of comedies either, though. True. But of the ones we've seen, I we haven't we haven't had what we haven't felt like an entire film was lost in translation and this film isn't in an isn't comedy in its entirety. It has very long segments where there's nothing funny going on. But I still found myself not not very much engaged. I also was surprised. Did you find yourself wondering where oxy was because he doesn't show up until you're an hour into the film. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I did think that. Maybe we just came in with too many expectations of. If you're if you're told something is supposed to be the most hilarious movie, that's that's really high expectations, because that's all I heard. And then also if you think it's like you're told it's oxy and then you're just waiting for oxy and you're still waiting for oxy and you're still waiting for oxy and it's an hour into the film. And you're like, oh, OK, OK, he's here. I thought we were I thought we were done. So yeah, I agree. The film did drag on for me. I think it could have been really, really good. One, if I understood the comedy, but also was like an hour and a half, because I think you could have the pre-story before oxy got there. I think could have been reduced to ten minutes. In terms of you could have causing you could have caught me up really fast with easy. This is a haunted house, blah, blah, blah. We're bringing a psychiatrist to figure out to this whole solution, almost like a clue type who done it type house thing. And so it could have been that short in terms of the opening credits. But yeah, it's I don't want to rag on it, too. It's not my favorite. I could tell you that, guys. Yeah. And I don't I don't mind. I mean, it's my we're both entitled to our honest opinions. And my honest opinion was I did not like it. It's one of my least favorite of the stuff we watched. I wanted to like it. I really like oxy. I really like video. I was really rooting for it and I was trying my best to find stuff in it that I was enjoying, like, for example, I did like the music. But it was as it just I it never ungranted. I absolutely agree. There may be some things in there, a whole bunch of them that we didn't get that were lost in translation that absolutely can happen. I just don't know that the entirety of film can be relegated to that. Versus I just found the majority of the time I was bored and not engaged with it. Yeah, until the like I said, until the very end, the last part when when she did the dance and she became all crazy, that was phenomenal. Vidya did an amazing job there. I think I love phenomenal. Oh, yeah. I was fully engaged at that part. I was fully engaged. But I'm Rick, I'm not I'm not saying it was Oscar, but I think for what she was trying to do there, I think she was really, really good. The rest of the film, no, not at all. But I think some of the jokes we also missed were also Hindu related or religion related. And they could very well be. I guarantee there were some references that we didn't pick up in that regard for sure. Absolutely. 100 percent. So guys. And a very good comparison that I think is probably probably fair, which is why I would simply just say I don't like the movie, but I'm not going to I'm not going to say that this is a bad director and these are bad actors and I'm not going to say any of that. In the same way, I think if somebody were to be introduced to one of their first American comedies and they were to watch Napoleon Dynamite, I think they could sit through it and look at it and go. What? Where a lot of us, a lot of us would say we love that movie and think it's hysterical and maybe like, why do you find that funny? I was like, well, I guess you'd have to understand some of the nuances that they're dealing with. And like when you're at a high school prom, this is what it's like. So I absolutely would give it that and I'd be more than willing to revisit this in a few years when we're more educated about these things and might have a completely different opinion about it for sure. It's possible. So guys, yeah, be kind to us. You know, we don't, you know, we don't we want to give you our honest opinion. But sometimes we have you in the comments. You know, you might have chalk. I hate you so much. I'm going to murder you. Yeah, we want to give you our honest opinion. So that's our honest opinion and we're sorry. But let us know the next Akshay film we should watch because we love Akshay, you know, we love Akshay, but and but I want to see. Is it I know Special 26 is high on the list for a lot of people.
