 Have you seen all the commercials? I have. On television they're amazing. These ads... Yeah, it's legit. I heard the news. Calling... Oh. The non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Oh, legit. Like, the biggest? I'm Rick. It's so juicy. It's only me today. Well, you didn't do an intro. I did. I was filming you guys. Oh. The film called Dooley Bowley. Uh, Delly Belly. I know what it's called. Don't worry. I was like, I didn't watch it. It's a movie review. And we're here. This is y'all's second movie review with us, correct? Oh. What was the first one? First one. Hence my... and they're here. But we haven't done one yet. No, they actually did one. No, I... No, that's with both of them. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. Okay. I understand. Uh, but it's Delly Belly, uh, directed by... Say his name for me, please. Um, Abene Deo. Okay. Uh, and it's starring, uh, Irman Khan, who is, I believe, his nephew? Don't know. Um, good homework, because I don't know what's his... Amir. I mean, that's what I'm thinking. That's the one. Uh, Amir Khan. Uh, Veer Dots. Yes. Uh, and... Who we knew. Mm-hmm. That's... I'm going into this. That's the only one we really knew. And Vijay Raaz. Yes. Uh, but, uh... No, no. Uh, the film is a dark comedy, uh, which I believe is actually the first comedy of any genre. Right? I wouldn't describe any of the other ones as strictly comedy. And this isn't strictly comedy. This is a strictly dark comedy. No, we've done a lot of rom-coms. Yeah. We haven't... I guess, I guess, um, the seven, um... Kunmaf? Kunmaf is... Oh, dark comedy. There's a... This is a different kind of dark comedy. This is a very different kind of comedy. That's more of Quentin dark comedy. Right. This is more like Colin Brothers' lobster or... Yeah. Pineapple Express. Yes. This is what this is. Even, even, uh, the hangover. Yeah. It's a very hangover style. It's not the correct kind of dark comedy. Yeah, it's not like Lobster in Bruges. But you want to read this on the outside for me real quick? Ladies, one of you. Oh. Three struggling roommates unknowingly become potential prey of a ruthless gangster. Struggling roommates? Gangster. Okay. Gangster? He usually says it funny. Oh, how do you say it? Gangster? Gang? Oh, don't say that. Yeah, which you don't like. Yeah, she's right. Don't say that. Yay! Ha ha ha ha! But yeah, uh, we can start with what we, what we liked about the film. Uh, and then we can get into, uh, what we didn't like about the film. Unless everybody just had glowing reviews of it. But the, the start off, um, the, the, the film, it was definitely a mixed bag for me. Um, but- On intended? Yes. Uh, but once, uh, I found out the, the theme they were going for, it was about 20, 30 minutes into the film. And it was, it was really, maybe it was because I was, when we saw the trailer, I was told it was a comedy. And it looked like a comedy. And it looked like a comedy. Uh, and, but in the beginning, it really, I think it was struggling to find its footing a little bit. Or at least they didn't get to the funny parts right away. The funny parts, I think, really started and the film got much better once the, uh, smuggler, uh, what's his face? Yes, who we all recognize from Gully Boy. Good. I was hoping you did. Yeah, I was hoping you did. I was hoping you did. He is a phenomenal actor. Oh, he's so good. Oh, he's so good. He is really, really good. He is so, so good. Oh yeah, he is. He, and I did some research. He is theatrically trained, so you'll be in shock. What a shock. Um, but yeah, he was probably my favorite part of this entire thing, even though he's not the funny guy. He's not the funny guy. But he had some funny moments, and he's by far my best actor. I could watch a fully serious movie with him as the, the main character all the time. Like, cause yeah. It was so good. He has, uh, he's so captivating, uh, with it. Lexi said this, you'll appreciate it. She said that he has, like, a little bit of Johnny Depp going on in certain scenes where it's just like, He might not agree with that. But, but explain what you mean by that, because you weren't talking about the way he looks. No. Well, it was just the way that he would say certain things and the way that he would look. Oh, okay. Especially when he's not like that. No, I agree. His presence. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. I agree with that. For sure, especially when he does his, uh, gangster roles. Yeah, like Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp could play that role in a heartbeat. Oh yeah. Yeah. 100%. Um, they just have to pay him $20 million. $20 million. But yes, uh, please go into, uh, Veer. Veer Doss was also one of my favorite, favorite parts. Is that okay? Is that his hair? His hair. That wasn't his hair. No way. No, I don't think that was his real hair. I was like, I, he literally said, he was like, if that is his real hair, he is a miracle. Yeah. I did. Yeah. And he is, he is just as funny with his delivery as he is with his stand-up that we've seen. When his voice changed. That was so freaking funny. Freaking, so many funny moments. That's how this film was for me though. It had some moments that I was dying. Dying. Dying. Literally dying laughing. Because of, I love dark comedies. I love it when, like, just stuff that's not supposed to be funny is freaking. It's so funny. Like when he was just hanging there, everybody was just around him. I was dying. And then when he was getting his head pulled by the guy behind him, I was dying. And then the minute he first spoke and it was obvious his voice was crashing. I'm like, please. I'll get that for the next, like, 20 minutes. And they did. That was gold. Yeah. Alexis specifically appreciated when the girl got up and ran into the wall. Yeah. Explain. Look at him. That was hilarious. Alexis, because I knew, I said that was Alexis's favorite moment as well as some others because Alexis explained. Any, okay, any injury that has to do with being hit in the head. It's so freaking funny to me. Like, what did he, they threw something. It was a multiple thing. It was the Russian nested ghost. Oh, yes. And it's that guy in the head. It's the other guy in the head. And then as it's falling, I said, please hit someone else in the head. Just for Lexi. And it does. Oh, it was so funny. Yeah. Yeah. And this film had so many of those little moments. And I think that after the first 30 minutes, I don't know if y'all agree with that, but the first 30 minutes where I was trying to figure out what they were doing. Yeah. Yeah. So what are we, what's going to happen? Is this a romantic comedy? What's going to happen? I don't get it. Totally agree about your statement of it was, it was finding its legs. It's finding its footing. Yeah. And maybe that was the point. I don't know. But when it started to get going, it was really, really good, especially with just a, I think when it started, when I, the first laugh I had and it was a weird laugh, it was, they were at the dinner table and he was eating, she was eating a banana with a fork. Oh, yeah. We all looked at each other. She was like, what is happening right now? I lost it with this shit. And I'm like, okay, that's the style we're going for. I like it. Yeah. That's good. And did you like Amir Khan? I have something to say about that in a minute. So I'd like you guys to give your input on what you liked about the film because I have a lot to say. Who needs to go for it? I have a lot to say. I don't have a lot to say. I liked it when you got hit in the head. What a surprise. I liked it when they got hit in the head. Yeah. But overall, thumbs up, thumbs down. Thumbs up. Thumbs up. You liked it. Yeah. Ashley. Agreed. Agreed. Yeah. I think it was really funny. Yeah. Yeah. We had moments of, we had at least 10 moments where we were dying. Just dying around her. Just dying. Yeah. There's a lot of diversity and risk and raunchy comedies that we've seen from the romcans and things that we've seen that fall into that genre. In terms of India or just in general? No, no. In terms of India for sure. How many dark comedies do you actually watch? Like, did you watch Pineapple Express? Did you watch? I actually haven't seen Pineapple Express. I regret it. I wanted, this is one of my favorite genres. And while I was watching I was like, I don't know how they're going to enjoy this. I don't know if you are, if you're not because I don't know the... And you know what I love too? I loved some of the stuff that was way just so inappropriate and wrong. Everything from the cockroach on the pizza to actually hearing the detail of his diarrhea explosions. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And then the viscosity of the... Oh! Oh yeah, when it poured out, I was like, oh my god, what was that? I verbalized it. I loved, I'm a big fan of slapstick comedy when it's done the right way. Being as simple as like the Verdox moment when they're in the jewelry store and he sees on the camera that it's happening and the guy is sitting there and he goes, it's so three stooges, keystone cops, screaming funny moments for me that were subtle. When he was like, did you wash your ass with my juice? And he's like, my butt's just sticking to the ground. Which I love right from the beginning, that first shot that the director had which I want to talk about the director of him laying there and it's just his that plumber's crack laying there. I also loved the, he's looking at the photos of the guy who had been with the prostitute and he's looking at the pictures of him and he's like, is that the tie I gave you? Yeah, don't touch anything. No, no, no. You're a disease tag. Yeah, brilliant funny little moments as well as when they're in the car and he's got the stuff on his head and they're sitting there for a moment, he looks at Vir Das and he realizes something and he says, did they shave your head before they came? Little details like that were great in the writing. As was, I thought a couple things about the directing, which I'm shocked this director didn't have a lot of experience up to this point and still doesn't. Yeah. He's still not a really renowned director. No, you know what I noticed first off? I noticed how, I don't know that I've seen somebody be, it was almost Sanjay Leela Bansali detailed with his framing and his lighting. Even the opening shots, it's really easy to be distracted by that and I did later in the film because I was so just loving the comedy but I was still paying attention. This director's got some, I looked at his DP, it's DP, I can't find any information on the cinematographer either because I don't know that I've seen a comedy that really, if you go back and look frame for frame, he paid a lot of detail to lighting, a lot of detail to poetic shots. There was one shot on the opening that almost reminded me of some of the framework and shape of water and I'm like in a comedy, beautiful direct and really good attention to try and make sure like the eye slowly started to heal the way it would, that kind of continuity. I just thought the direction was great. And also like all the things in the beginning, like he foreshadowed some of the things that were happening later on and so like those moments were just really cool to see. You kind of get to see the whole movie in the first few shots, but not at all at the same time. I'd love to know if the screenwriter felt that the final project was the visualization of what the writer felt. Like that was the one thing at a Q&A I wanted to ask during Shape of Water, which is weird to compare those to completely totally different films, but because the film is, I wanted to know is what became the final thing, what you envisioned when you wrote it. And I wonder how much of the, see it was a pacing thing at the front. I think we all agreed with that, that it didn't find its legs and its pace and even its style it felt like until about a half hour in. I got bored in a couple of spots in the first half hour. And then later from probably the disco fighter music number when she died with him, and when he screams sitar. And there's a sitar solo with the flames shooting out. That whole disco fighter, the guy was rolling on the couch, was I rolling on the couch? You were rolling on the couch. I absolutely disco fighter. And I'm your con man. Okay, Mr. Con, if you ever get to see this first of all, we fell in love with you right at the outset of our doing what we do because three idiots is one of the first films we ever saw after Gully Boy. And love the work that he did in those first films we saw. This is so out of the wheelhouse for him. Yeah, this is just his producing. I know. But see, I think that's because he knows. I think he understands his audience and knows, I don't know that I can get away with that. Like in the same way that I know that Shah Rukh Khan is really cognizant of his audience. And he won't do certain films because he knows they won't stomach him, which a great actor is going to know their brand. They're going to balance being edgy and taking risks, but also not disassociating themselves from the people that got them where they are. Yeah, I get that, but I also don't know. And this for me was like, okay. And his end credit disco fighter number, which didn't we react to that number? We didn't react to the song? No. People, I have seen the request. Oh, it was in the trailer. It might have been. I've seen the request for disco fighter, the song, and we just hadn't got to it yet. It was on the list that he wanted to produce this thing and did that number says a lot about I like how weird and stupid this guy probably really is in real life, even at the very like after the music video, the very end of the credits, when you just stay in there with the guns, clapping them together. Yes, I was saying, please stay doing that for all of us. That's just like telling the bestie and clapping the guy. Yeah. And you know what? I've been waiting to do this for a while. This movie made me think of what is your poo telling you the whole time it's been in my pockets. Halfway through the movie. Oh my word. One of my other favorite scenes that we didn't talk about was the last scene when they're in the room and before everybody shoots up, you can see and you see everybody is so injured and that one guy. Yes! Oh, and I love when the floor fell through and then at the like towards the end when they just are waving at each other, it's like, yeah, well, and that guy like this, they come in to do the shooting and he wants to grab his gun and he's like, oh, and I also loved how forgive the guy we love from Gully Boy, I think he's a VJ Ross, VJ Ross. I love that he has a couple of moments where he's a criminal, but he understands propriety and courtesy, like the bell boy comes and he's like, because you have the quality control. I loved him. Oh yeah, I could talk about him forever because he had used so small in what he does. That's the word for word. Obviously, I love that style of just being small and real natural in a comedy, in a comedy. Come on! Everybody else is, even though this wasn't a really big comedy for performances, but everybody else was a lot bigger, and I love that as another cue to the director of the restraint because they got to be slapstick, but it wasn't Vaudevillian over the top. There were some times that they were worlds, they pushed it, like worlds, like at the end when that guy was laughing at him for getting slapped by the fiance, oh yeah, no, the husband. And there were a couple of those, I'm not going to judge the movie off of these small performances. Yeah, I don't know what that was, but he's like, whew! What? No one does that! You're like, how dare you? Yeah, I love Vijay Raj, please let me know, like what are his best performances? Because even though I know he's not that huge star, I'm pretty sure he's like a Paul Bettany, right? Really all actors know him, respect him, love him, the larger populace knows who he is, but he's not a household man. He's not a household man. Maybe, that's what we assume. But he's fantastic. What do we know? Cheat things we've seen, especially this. He was phenomenal. Even in a comedy, I'm praising the guy that had the dramatic role, sorry, that's what I do. Because he was, he was solid in Dully Boy, he never had a false moment, he's even better, he's even better in this. I would love to see more of his work. Yeah, so please understand what his best stuff is. But yeah, what would you give this? I'd probably give it a good B minus B plus. Yeah, like on a scale of 1 to 10, I would probably give this. The whole thing was like the last half. I was just gonna grade it according to the abs. The first half was like a C, and the second half was an A. So I would give it a B plus as a total score. Definitely worth, I would just let people know and say, hey, when you're doing this, just just allow the first half to just be slow, it's gonna not get its legs, you're gonna wonder where it's going, and then you're gonna love the ride, laugh, and you're gonna have a great time. Very funny. A lot of fun. Thinking about all those scenes together, it even makes it even better in my mind after discussing it. Those were all really great moments. There's so many good moments. So many good moments. I mean, this is like for me, the amount of hard laughter. Like Anchorman 2, I laughed this part in that many times. So that's saying a lot. This is a fun movie. Yeah, and it was, I think, our first comedy comedy. So let us know what we should watch and review next bit. Just to explain. What was that? It was like 99% English. Oh yeah, it's not so good. It's so throw me. I got throw me. It's so throw me. It's so throw me. I didn't know what happened. I was thrown. I got fed up. Where are you from? I'm right now. It's so throw me. I got, I told that because I did a Twitter poll to see what, because we had to react to something real quick. How do you do a Twitter poll? Do you hang on sideways and stick out your booty? Sometimes. But yeah, I did a Twitter poll. And then on the comments of the trailer reaction as well, they said there was, there's an English version and a Hindi dubbed version. They said to watch the English version. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. But yeah, it was very different. How are you doing? Apparently it was thought to be very weird to come out with a fully English film and Indian film. I wonder, obviously I wonder if Amer Khan had thought, I think this is good enough for us to potentially push beyond the boundaries. Yeah. Which if that's the case, more power to you. Exactly. With Americans, their most, I'd say 85%, if not more, won't watch films with subtitles. Oh yeah. We're very requiring. We're very lazy people. It's just too requiring. And so that's a smart decision if that was a conscious decision to kind of bridge the two. Because especially if it's a comedy to get the timing of each thing. Yes. This was done, this was pre-hangover. 2011. Yeah, I just, I can't imagine he wasn't thinking this is good enough and funny enough that we can hit as broad a market as possible and maybe penetrate into the United States, which it really could have. I mean, the first half, I'm sure people have a lot of problems with the first half. But it's so worth watching. It is. So please let us know what we should watch and review next. And by all means.
