 Welcome back to part three of our Watch the Long 2. Tonight's just nice. Oh, nanomarari-tan. With VJ and Nayanthara, Lady Superstar, the Tamil action comedy romance. I think all ladies are super stars. If you haven't seen the first two parts, please go check those out. They're already on Patreon. This would be a very cut up version. We could use about five to 10 minutes of very cut up footage because of copyright reasons. If you like to see the full on cut versions of this and other Tamil films and other Watch the Longs that we've done, you can go check those out. I'll put the link in the description in the pinned comment so you can go check those out on Patreon. And at the end of this, we will do a review and talk about it now. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Let's get back into this. I'm Rick. Whatever. Someone's been kidnapped. I've escaped and I've come here. Go and check it out, quick. Gramps is still there. She's the one. She's in the car. They'll find her if they see her. She's a rowdy. I don't think I'm old enough to miss this one. I don't believe you. They missed this one. They all missed it. Then they'll go and have fun. Hey, stop! Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it! I've tried. Tell me what you want me to do. What? Tell me what you want me to do. There's no problem. What? He has to die or I have to die. I need to do something today. What are you saying? I'm telling you the truth. You want me to do something? Yes, brother. You want me to say that openly? Yes. I want to tell you who I am. Get out, get out. All body. That's why I want to kill you, sir. Get out. Come, let's go. From a young age, there's only one thing I want to tell you, dad. I know where he is, brother. He'll definitely send us 50 rupees. Is the information correct? It's confirmed, brother. I know, brother. How many people are in our group? Even 10, brother. Isn't it mom? It's not mom. It's not? No, it hasn't come since morning. It's not at home. It hasn't come to the station. Do you know where it is? It's not there, dad. Hello! Hello! Hey, Kathamari! Kathamari, Kathamari, talk to me. How can I talk to you? Kathamari, Kathamari. Give me the phone if anyone is near. Hey, hey, hey, hey, Kathamari. I'm so sorry that I had so much trouble with you and your friends. I won't look for you anymore. Because I'm searching for you. Hey, don't think unnecessarily. Give me the phone. If your text or show say it. What do you think? I'll do it. Did you tell me to do it? I doubt it. You won't do it, right? Yes, tell me. Go away. Hey! What? Throw her away. This is another problem. Hey, hey, hey, wait. Throw her away. You shouldn't waste anything. Okay, brother. Stay here. Who are you? Thanks, sir. Sir, that girl. She's roaming around with a guy. She's a very good girl. I'm not worried about her. I'll hit her, her face, her legs. She'll hit me in the leg. I'll tell you what I'm saying. That's what I understand. I'll do it. I'll send someone to you. He'll bring you. You tell me what idea. Thanks, sir. I'll come to see that girl, sir. Hey, tell me. For the anger I'm in now. I got the key, sir. I got the key, sir. I told her so respectfully. You said it in a style, right? Yes. He hit me. I talked to him. I talked to him. You hit him. He hit me. I got the key, sir. I'm worried, sir. I'll see you later, sir. Are you going to see her? Sir, what's the sound of this girl? It's a dream, sir. It's a nightmare. I'll do it myself, sir. What are you going to do, sir? Hey! Oh, no! I'm dead. I'm dead. What are you looking at? Then? I was lying to you. I was going to kill you. It's okay, sir. I'll find him, sir. I'll find him alive. When his father is asleep, he has to go to the village, right? Just like his mother. You won't find anyone like him. What happened, sir? Tell me, sir. Stop. Look at what happened to him. I'm getting the key with the key that I'm in now. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. There's another problem. For the first time in my life, I'm lying like this. You don't know how bad this is. Mom, what's your problem? Hey, what's the problem? Sir, your father is a police officer. You're a rowdy, sir. There's a problem between the two of you, sir. What are you going to do? Send a bomb to my house, sir. The bomb hit him and your mother died. This girl is dead, sir. Your father is getting angry, sir. I've done this in anger, sir. Sorry. Sorry. I'm in anger right now. But I forgive you both for the sin I committed. Got it? Get out of here. You can't do this. You're both going to die without my knowledge. Are you crazy? Hey, stop it. Don't touch my face. Get out of here. Look at him. He's dead. Hey, stop it. Get out of here. He's dead. Come on, get out of here. Come on, get out of here. Father, I don't want to die because of my father. But I'm going to die for sure. I'm going to die because of my father. But someone will kill me. I'm going to die. Hey, come on. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. Did you hear the sound of the knife? Look inside. It's a study for both of us. It's okay. Kadu, did you hear the loud noise? Did you see the breathing in the frame? Did you hear it? Oh, no! It's bleeding over there. Hey, come on, come on. I'm here. Wait a minute. Hold the knife. I'll get it. Give it to me. Go inside. Everything else will happen on its own. Is that so? It's getting burnt inside. Hey, have you gone? Have you already put this knife? Are you going to give it to Kaira? I'm going to die. Who gave you this sound? I'm going to die for sure. Hey, what's the matter with you? You're blushing since morning. I've kept the sambar for you yesterday. What is it? Are you blushing? What? I was scared that you might get hurt. It's nothing. Why are you blushing? I didn't do anything. I went to the head office for your posting. I got a call from the head office. My son-in-law has become a policeman. It's been a long time. Dad, you've become a policeman. That's enough. A policeman? The police will arrest you. But what will you do? You'll call your friends and tell them that you're like Kairi. Then you'll change the police department. How will you become a good policeman? Radhu, I'm very brave today. I came to the police station. I saw you in this area once again. I'll meet you in your own place. Go. Did you see? I like you when you were a rowdy. Go. No. Listen to me. The police will arrest you. You're not a rowdy. Go. Go. Go. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me in the uniform. I'll be like that. Yeah, the second half definitely fell off for me there. Unfortunately, because I know you were too. I was really enjoying the first half of it, right? I enjoyed the first half. Yeah, I think they, for some reason, they decided to go away from the aspects that we were enjoying of their relationship and kind of them. And they kind of were like, OK, they're together now. Now this is the bigger thing that we're going to focus on. And I was like, I still think you should have focused on them while having that be the subplot of all that. And I know this was actually before all of Nelson's films, I think his first one was 2018, right? The Cocoa of the 2018, right? So similar vibes to that, but especially in the second half, like a lot of the comedy that they were going for just wasn't working at all. That whole subplot of the villain having another villain trying to kill him just didn't work for me. Whether if it was language, comedy or whatever that they were going with, very little of it in the second half worked for me as opposed to the first half, which it was all working for me. I was really enjoying it. Me too. I liked the first half. The second half just went completely off a cliff. And in every respect, I just, the story went off the rails, the believability went off the rails. It just, if the first half had been like the second half, I doubt we would have finished the film. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And I know what they were going for of like this, these people, kind of what Nelson's done in, I think multiple of the films now, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. These people shouldn't be in this situation. This is the funniest stuff that ensues because of it, right? Right. And Nelson obviously even in the first half is way funnier. Obviously the way he decides to do things is with camera work and all that kind of stuff is way funnier. But a lot of the comedy in the first half really worked for me. And their kind of relationship was worth it. But they kind of like resolved all that before the interval. I feel like you should maybe spread the first half out more and then had kind of like, them killing them almost to be kind of like, not as big of a part, like as big of as it was, at least. I don't know how, it's hard to explain because obviously I think that's a big part of the plot. Kind of like it wasn't in even cuckoo when they were killing them, like the rowdies one by one going in. Yeah. It was very funny that way. Right. But also they tried to show a lot of the violence in it as well and it was clear they didn't have the money to make what they wanted to in terms of like it believable, like the punches and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. And so that also takes away, if you're not gonna go full, you know, vaudevillian with it. And so like there was a bunch of stuff that just wasn't working together in the second half, which is unfortunate. Yeah. And at the interval I was like, oh cool, we're getting the second half. This is gonna be pretty funny with them kind of going and killing the guy and a bunch of stuff going wrong, but it just, it kind of, it would just went south, which is unfortunate. I hate when that happened. Very disappointing, right? Yeah. But the, obviously that's what I thought of the second half, the first half. And there weren't really the issues in the second half, but Nyanne Thotta especially, I loved her. She's a very good actress. Yes, she is. It was evident in, she had very little to do in Juwan, which I think is probably the first place we saw her, but in Coco, she's Coco, is Coco Coco? Yeah. Is Coco probably? I was really, I really enjoyed her in that. Yeah, so did I. And I was really enjoying her in this as well. And she wasn't the issue in this at all in the second half. It was just, they kind of, it just felt like they abandoned their relationship. They abandoned everything in the second half, yeah? And wanted to go for just more big, they were like, this will be funny if we make a grandeur. And I was like, I feel like the intimate feel of it was kind of the appeal. Yeah, I don't know what the goal was at the end because it lost all symmetry, it lost all logic, it lost any believability in every way. I mean, in story, in action, in acting, it just became, in writing, it just became laborious. And yeah, it just was really, the second half was just really, really disappointing. Yeah, that's one of the most glaring changes from one half to another that we've seen. Like, sometimes it happened in Vicki Donner, or Donner, like the first half was, I mean, not the first half, but the first 20 minutes was kind of like, okay, we were kind of getting into it. And then we kind of got more into it. It wasn't like amazing or anything, but like, we got more into it as the thing went on. Which is good. It's unfortunate when the second half is, like you don't want the first half to be your strongest part because you want the end really to be your more stronger part because you want people to be interested in the story. And I was, I was 100% interested in what was gonna happen, but a lot is just the writing in the second half, what they wanted them to do just didn't work. I loved Ani's music throughout the entire thing. I loved Ani's music. It was actually, it was a standout throughout the entire film was Ani's music. Even then the songs in the second half, I did really enjoy the song itself and the background music that he created was really good. So that was a plus in the second half. There was a lot of stuff in the first half that I loved in terms of just cinematography wise too. Like my favorite shot in the whole movie was actually when they would just close up on their lips talking, it was beautiful. Yeah, agreed. And they lost a lot of that. But that moment that I think there was like at least a minute of just, it was nice here and it was a good intimate moment and good shot wise, cinematography wise, that I just lost it. Yeah, the analogy I can think of, it's like walking into the kitchen and seeing your spouse is preparing this beautiful steak and mashed potatoes and vegetables and it's in the halfway point and you're looking at it thinking, yeah, this is looking pretty nice. You leave the room and then you come back in and it's everything has exploded all over the walls and you go, what the heck happened? That's the way I felt about the first half and the second half. Yeah. And I felt like, even though I know Vijay was the star here, like they focused on him becoming the rowdy in the end. Oh, and obviously I know the end credit things which I'm not a big fan of anyway, but like he was gonna become a cop. But I felt like they were focusing a little too much on him becoming a rowdy as opposed to, we probably shouldn't want to be a rowdy, but it is a congruent with his character or lack thereof that he's still a liar at the end. That's congruent. Wants her to think he's the one who killed the bad guy and he's a real rowdy. So that was, at least they had congruency with his character. If you're a significant other person you're interested in, parent or somebody dies. Don't hold it from. Yeah. But in some places that's a suable offense. That's true. But yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah. I mean, I didn't make the film, but I'm sorry that the second half probably wasn't enjoyable for you to watch. It's odd that it would be recommended by anybody. I could see why they would recommend the first half and maybe the second half was a lot more dommel, comedy driven. I don't know. But I mean, the first half, if I would have just been like, first half would have been like, yeah, go watch this film. And then you see the second half. Right, it's definitely nowhere near what the first half was. Correct. You guys let us know if you loved the second half and why you loved the second half, what we missed, I guess in the second half, if that's the case. Obviously you saw our reaction, so. But you guys can let us know what you thought about the film. What should be our next VJ, and especially Nyanthada, because I know we've seen a lot more VJ films. And hers, we're just starting to explore. Correct. And I think she's an absolutely fantastic actor. She has a great presence. Standout performance in this one for sure, for Nyanthada. So let us know what her next film should be for us, VJ as well. What should be our next Tamil watch along? Let us know down below. I'll upload it so I can see what people want to see. If you're watching this on YouTube, you saw a very cut up version. If you'd like to see the full on cut versions of this and other watch alongs, including the other Nelson films that we were acted to and other stuff like that, that'll be on Patreon. I'll put the link in the description below and the pinned comments. So you can go check those out and on to the next watch along.
