Product placement from a company that does nothing for us Don't do that. They didn't pay us. Don't you know we only do paid things? That's right. Only paid things! All of the products you see Like for Hot Fasil. Yes. He's paid us Handsomely to put his face in the back every one of them from because they get no greater exposure my friends Anyways, today we're doing a movie of you and it is of the new long-awaited 2020 well, I guess yeah, it was supposed to be a while ago in 2022 film starring Shahid Kapoor It's the remake of the I forget what year it came out, but the it was I think it was 2019 Tolugu version which we have seen then you could go watch the review and I'd like to see that one but this is a Directed by the exact the same person that directed the first one And then I think the kid is also the same correct, but other than that obviously it's starring Shahid Kapoor and Ronald Thacker Luna Thacker and then Pankaj Kapoor Pankaj Kapoor are the ones replacing the leads in this one and it's basically a This will be non-spoiler at the front end non-spoiler if you I mean if if you've seen the original or if you've Seen this one We're gonna probably mostly non-spoiler if we want to get to some spoilers We'll warn you to the spoilers and we'll let you know beforehand But yeah, this is basically a strict remake like to the fullest extent There are some stuff that they did differently and we'll point all that out but Overall and you can tell me what you think I think this is Better than in some aspects of the original, but it's still not my cup of tea. Yes Yeah, I was thinking about it while we were watching it and my thought was I I think this is a more compelling rendition yeah But there's aspects of the story that are not my cup of tea I will say yeah, if you if you were wanting to see this and you don't know Jersey Yeah, and you love cricket go see it I think especially if you're accustomed to Most motion pictures no matter the genre being three hours long. Yeah, we're it's definitely a family commercial film Correct feels almost like a Disney film. Yeah, and there's there's part Yeah, and the thing for me different actually than the original. Yeah, the original did not feel like a Disney did not feel that way and I felt that the the the portrayals of the three main characters Were for me particularly and it's not a surprise for Shahid Just a really wonderful rendering that They did exactly what you would want your actors to do with these roles and very different actually yes Because I don't think because obviously if you are like a big fan of the original I know you're just probably not gonna see this film at all and you're even if it was like this amazing amazing film You wouldn't give it its credit. Yeah, I know that but if you haven't seen the original Filmmaking wise I think this is the better film in my opinion me as well Maybe it's a language barrier I don't speak to lugu because I know that film is beloved by a ton of people, but it's also stylistic as well. Yeah But I so a little go over our likes and dislikes here a Shahid Kapoor I think does a phenomenal job in doing what he was asked to do in this Yes, and he also it's not in even though I said in the beginning. It's like a strict remake I think he's playing a completely different Yeah, Arjun then Nani played so I don't think you can really like say like oh she hit go board just did what he Didn't he did not he did a completely different character than what Nani did he and in addition to that I I think Especially if you if you've not seen the original version Yeah, I think you're really gonna enjoy it as a first exposure. It's frustrating because I know what's coming I exactly do it that takes away from we'll get into it Yeah, but but not only does he do that there were things that we were wondering about I think we even talked about it in the trailer where we were wondering if it was going to be a comparable decision to kind of The hot-headed portrayal he gave us with Kabir Singh and with no spoilers here But you will be encouraged to know and it shouldn't surprise you because the guy's a good actor This is a completely fresh embodiment of who he wanted this character to be you don't see a Kabir Singh in there I don't see anything. He's done. Yeah. Yeah, it's a complete. It's a new character committee to header to With a bun job to know Matt. He's a very different person. He's a very versatile actor Yep, he's very strong My favorite parts in this were probably some of the and won't gonna dispose But like when they just had no music behind him and they just let the dude do what he does That's one of my favorite things about the film is he him just being yeah, he felt in a very Irfan way No need to do anything except to be in the moment. Yeah, there No Awareness at all of anything other than be their moment for moment be fully invested in what's going on and who you're with and Just let happen whatever happens and if it works or doesn't work You're not even thinking about that because you don't think about that in real life Yeah, you just are yeah, so yeah, yeah, and so he was definitely my as we see our yeah She did a phenomenal job as well. I thought And was mr. Kapoor who I thought was a really yeah Like at the by the time we got to the very end when you when you're in the last scenes with him I thought man, he's he just pretty much knocked it out of the park as far as you're not gonna portray this character You may portray it different, but you won't portray it any better. No, yeah, I think he was definitely The From from the first two weeks, I thought Nani and and I forget the actress's name who played me to forgive us Good job in that and now they're probably our favorite part of that We had a lot of issues with the filmmaking part of that and that story, which we'll get into. Yeah Cuz that hasn't changed. Yeah. Yeah, but His acting I thought was a big upgrade I'm not trying to disrespect. No, just engagement, but it's important He is a legend and there's a reason for that Cuz he's that good Yeah, and I'll be no shock him and his son have chemistry. I Mean they and they have good chemistry together Yeah, and he brought it from the first time he stepped on screen in this one as well right up to the last scene Yeah, where he has to do something where he's portraying the character In a different way for different reasons without giving any spoilers away And he does so pretty much exactly the way it ought to be done Yeah, and I think the what this film did with the characters. They actually helped me even though I still Yeah, I'm gonna get it. I it helped me sympathize with him more in this one and that might be Shahid Kapoor It's doing Cuz the last yeah, I'd say in the last one. It was more of this guy's just the dick Yeah, yeah, this one. I was like a little bit more benefit of the doubt I was like I little bit I get it a little bit I think you're more of just a fuck up right that's that's and still still selfish Yeah, we're not giving anything away and and that's fine. Hey, I'm I have no issues with main characters being selfish and in all that kind of stuff I have zero issue with that. Yeah, not it But I it this version helped me Understand his point of view more than the first one did well, I I a point of this I Think if you've seen the original You might want to steer clear For two reasons, especially if you really like the original Oh, yeah, it's never gonna live up to you because one of the drawbacks We have in seeing this that a newcomer will not have Comparison is we know the story. We know where it's gonna go and there's there's no surprises This is pretty much done exactly the same way in terms of the story being told. Yeah, so That because it's runtime is almost as long as our RR. Yeah, yeah, it's it's so long and sometimes boring to sit through because you Having seen it before it's like you're watching the movie again. Yeah in a way Yeah, yeah in a way because it's not and they did do some different stuff that I did appreciate I think somebody doesn't know the story would like it. Yes. Yeah, and there's people that love cricket and that like this Because it says it it almost felt sometimes especially in the cricket parts like 83 a very commercial cricket film Which it just is not our cup of tea and not just not the cricket part Just the commercial aspect of like this is oh, he's gonna do it He's gonna blah blah blah all that kind of stuff and I guess they're going for that family environment, right? And that's fine. And so I think maybe a family going into this has never seen the original I like definitely and I like the cricket footage in this much. Oh, yeah Well, and also they have a lot more money With a lot more money, you're probably gonna make a better film. That's just usually how it goes Yeah, I just I just felt that the coverage the way it was done and how it was done was a lot more believable Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely and that's what I said. I think this one overall is a better film than the original I think I still have most of the same issues. Yeah Talk about it. Not okay. Not necessarily because there was a ton of acting issues not from the lead cast But from the supporting cast in the original Yes, that was just got original that we had real then that you don't have that in you don't have supporting people We're all solid. So it's not and I think that one guy who was in 83 and I think he was in family man as well, right? He was the the main friend of Jade Gabor's in this one. Isn't he the oh, yeah I'm not remembering his name. Yeah. Yeah, he did a good job. But yeah, you don't have that issue You don't have as bad of dubbing issue. Yeah, and even though sometimes you do but I think they did a Much better job in this but once again, they have a lot even the way some of the teasing was done Yeah, it was more it was more grounded. Yeah in my issues with and not not story-wise We'll get into that if we get when we get into some spoilers. I thought it was And I guess it should once again It might be just my taste and obviously this is just how Indian Sun was done I thought they did the thing that overscoring certain aspects to bring the emotion out of use sure Hey once again, that's why when I said in the beginning now my cup of tea in the style of in the same way at Disney family film Does it agreed? They because they're like here's and that's why my favorite parts of this where when they just they didn't have any music behind She had or the lead actress or or Punk is his name punk. Yeah, is it punk? I'm going to go for punk. I just go for and they just let them be there with no additional Emotional music is what I'll call it. Yeah, there was a point where it's like almost every time We had a moment between him and her there was the lovely and I don't need that Right, the actors right I promise you the actors would have been a thousand percent enough. Yeah Yeah, I agree because they were good actors It wasn't I wouldn't say it's overscored, but I understand what you're saying in terms of I would have preferred a little less scoring Does that that makes sense? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I can I can totally see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, so I like I said, I don't think it's a bad film But I will say the score when it was being played even though there may be a little bit more of it than I would have liked I thought the score was quite nice. Yeah, and I think the first the original had a nice score as well This one I think improved upon that that score I thought in all aspects of almost all filmmaking aspects. This film's a better film than the original That's that's in my opinion. It's just I I don't think in the same way. Maybe dev das is not for me and Dev D even though it's by on your kashi up. It's not for me I just I don't care for the story very much. Yeah, I have issues. I have the exact same thing I don't know if we need to get because if I have the exact same issues with the story that I did before I was I was kind of Wondering not optimistic, but I was wondering if they would make some adjustments like okay So what should we get into so we talk about stuff like I said spoiler overall I think it's a better film if you especially haven't seen it You haven't seen the original you would I think you'll really like it Especially if you go in for a family environment because obviously love cricket certain films in India aren't made for people that look like us Because we are foreigners even the runtimes even the runtimes. Yep, and like a KGF obviously huge huge hit 83 I think was a huge huge a lot of people love that film as well So I think like families could definitely enjoy this film a lot more Yeah, and I would I would recommend this one over the original. I'm not trying to bash on the original Even though you guys probably think I am I'm not I just think overall, but yeah, if you like to see or some spoilers now We probably will be very similar to the original spoilers that we had. Yeah, go ahead. So It's the story again. Yeah, it's it's the the oddness of Almost giving him the same respect you would a soldier Giving his life for his country. Yeah The fact that I mean I have the same problems you you kept what secret from your wife for ten years You said you prefer her over your son. Well, you don't prefer her over cricket just all of those issues of wow really you decided to continue to play cricket because That was the one thing that you felt your son could respect. I it's just so many problems I that's why I said this one even though I agree Helped me understand him a little more than the original because obviously and maybe once again, maybe it's a language barrier I think it's also we don't understand how much people would die for cricket. Yeah, and all that kind of stuff I I get it and like I said certain films are not made for us. I get it but this one obviously helped me empathize with him being basically a big fuck-up and Disappointing everybody in his life and he's like, okay, there's one person. I haven't disappointed I don't want to just blow my son and Questionable as that may be. Yeah, that's the decision that this character made. Yeah, and I'm fine with that. Yeah Do I still get it? No, no, I don't at all But no, it's sad. No, I just this film helped me get a little more than the original I agree with you 100% I think the takeaway from the way it was portrayed from every aspect of it with the last film We walked away from wow what a selfish dick. Yeah, I thought right whereas with this one My feeling was wow how sad is it that he had to yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, so I agree with you I was a level of it where I kind of could begin to understand it while I still just don't like the beginning not my cup of tea Especially I still hate the ending. Yep. I hate it. I hated the ending in the original to I don't think you need the whole book Thing I think it could have just been his story And you could have had him die at the end Yeah, like I you didn't need to have the the book thing at the end or the thing I was kind of hoping they get away. I get that he got his jersey. Yeah, but I didn't need it either I was hoping they were gonna get away from the heart of really a thing He was just gonna die in a plane crash or something But you can't do that because then you also have to take into consideration the drama of him having not shared the story Which again, I just can't fathom a wife being Okay, and thinking it's great that her husband kept the health secret from her for ten years Which ultimately led to his premature death and left her alone to raise their son. Yeah, that's hard for me, man Yeah, and I don't think this one was making it out that the original kind of seemed that way But I don't think this one was making it that she was okay because she was clearly shocked Guaranteed she's pissed off. I don't know. I don't know. She was applauding and happy and losing at the end You can't you can't be like that son of a bitch You can in that moment You son of a bitch, how dare you just stand up It would have been funny Yeah, I Cuz I I don't think I really need to heart because it's the exact same issues. I didn't like the ending I get that same sentiment I think they did it a little better and helped me empathize with characters more and helped me empathize with their relationship Him and his son's relationship. Yeah, yeah And all that stuff so overall I think it is an improvement. It is I would I'm in I would it's an improvement I would say like we said at the outset if you've not seen it And you love cricket and you're accustomed to what Indian audiences are given with run times and and Commercialism you're probably gonna get your money's worth and be glad you saw it And you're definitely gonna be pleased with what you get from our three main main people giving you exactly what a Great actor should provide for you. It must have really It just must any time you work with because everything we've seen them do She hid and all three of them and and and yeah It's just a relief for a director to be able to work with actors that you know, they're gonna give you what you need And the entire supporting cast did much because there were some bad actors in the supporting cast in the original and Especially in the cricket parts. Oh That was rough. It was rough in the cricket parts in the original Yeah, and that was I think one of the biggest disconnects for the original one of the one of the things I will say about the story that I like because we've harped a lot about what I we don't like about the story Yeah, one of my favorite things about the story in fact probably my favorite thing about the story is The fact that He he was being ridiculed For wanting to play at the age that he's playing and I love what coach dad Says to him and starts giving him examples of people who've done things Irrespective of their age and it's astonishing to me like because it really does happen where The coaches and everybody when he gets there and they think he's an assistant coach and he says no I'm a player and how they just Heatedly don't let him play and inside I was getting frustrated and I'm like You're just assuming you can't play based on the way he looks in his age Did you look at any tape? Have you watched him play bad coaches? No joke and it's what happens in the natural as well because that's what people do if you haven't seen the movie the natural I think I mentioned this in our last review of the natural the rookie I know the natural with Robert Redford because Robert Redford gets in his own words. He got a little sidetracked Pun intended if you know the movie, you know what I mean And and when he first gets there the manager of the team isn't gonna play him because he thinks that the owner of the team is Shafting him by giving him old players. So his motivation isn't he's too old to play It's more of screw you to the owner for sending me an old guy Which eventually gets to the place where Robert Redford's character Roy Hobbs says just play just Let me play and the minute they let he let some play. He realizes holy crap. This guy is good Yeah, and let some play but that is a common thing where people are Treated a certain way and written off because of fill-in-the-blank gender sexual orientation Whether they're cast age Sometimes youth as well are written off because they're not old enough per se to be able to be doing that And that's that's my favorite thing in the story. Yeah. Yeah. And so overall I think it's a good film It's it's still not my cup of tea. Yeah, it just and it's in a lot of us with commercial Family film just I like people getting murdered, you know, but I could see how somebody would say man I love that I would have no and I've heard people already about this and obviously the original is a very beloved film And so once again not trying to harp on that film at all at all, but I think especially for Shahid Kapoor and I don't want to just call her Murnal Murnal Thacker and if I'm mispronouncing your name, I am pleased to give me gosh Kapoor Definitely worth it to see them. Yeah, it's see it Shahid actor. This father is wonderful to see It must have been a great experience on set. I love this train moment And it's such an important moment and it was different I was looking it was different to that's what I was so happy for because you know He knows the director knows the audience everybody knows the audience who's seen the original knows This is a pinnacle emotional moment Are you going to play the moment or are you going to be in the moment and he was in a thousand percent one thousand? Percent allowed himself to just be and I was watching I was critiquing that moment very hard I was like because I was like, okay, let's see because Nani did a very good job Yes in that part of the moment and I was like are you good you can't obviously he hadn't been copying them But I was like this is an iconic part of the film, right? The pinnacle of the film and he did a he did a great job because I didn't see any of the original guy Correct, and I thought I saw him and they let the scene go They did for a good while they just let it go because he was there the train left But they still let it go my bed is that the director was like keep going until of course Why wouldn't you yeah, and that's that's what to coin a phrase that's really Howard fine as somebody I talk about him a lot But there's something in in his teaching which is also derived from Uta Hagen called pre-shaping and that's a no-no That's a bad thing where someone will ask a question in a class about the scene that they're doing and they'll they'll obviously Talk about their prep and they did something because they pre-thought it out to do it in advance And the example he gives and I love this example He says do you think a baseball player when they're in left field and the pitch is thrown on the ball is hit that they They've already pre-shaped exactly how they're gonna catch it before the ball arrives that they're sitting there thinking well This is gonna be a basket catch at my belt and then when the ball hits no matter what happens no matter what they're given I'm running with the glove at my belt. What kind of a ball player would do that same thing with acting Do not make a decision before the moment of what the moment's going to be let the moment be and he did it Oh, yeah, he always does it No, that's why we one of the good actors one of the one of the better actors out there right now Obviously in fact what I'd love to see. I mean it might have been one and done, but if they had several takes I promise you They were all different. Yeah It'd be I would love to ask him that yeah Anyways, let us know what you thought about this film Down in the comments below and why you hate us. Yeah, why you hate us stupid. Yeah, it all helps the algorithm So it's totally fine. That's right And let us know what should be our next shade go and punk art We've criminally not seen enough of his in like when in yeah, I've seen McBull and he was obviously amazing in McBull But I want to see a lot more of him especially in this prime The apple didn't fall far from the tree. It's pretty obvious. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great acting family that one Let us know what you thought about the film down below
