We're doing a movie review of the Film that just came out 2023 film John A. John or how they put it on the American Netflix special X Yeah, uh, no a suspect that suspect suspect that's right I Don't like it when they change the title to me. I know I just put it just put the title like it's really okay I know it's not English, but I Think the reasons to joy did that is because it's from a book of a different title as well And that gives anybody who knows the book title That means but suspect X I think the original book title means that but it also means like the beloved something like that anyway Directed by a bondu. Yep. Sujoy. Go's we've slept in the same bed Written by him as well in terms of adaption from the original Japanese novel And if you don't know what I mean by that It's because we've stayed in the same room at the same hotel not at the same time Let me clarify not at the same time. I did that with Michael Jackson produced by him as well that's true and also a Dost on Dose Crimes and yes of Jai deep and Vijay Varma and a future future Dost in Kareena Kapoor Would love to be able to talk to her. Yeah, we've got a Bundu and two Dosts. Yeah tell her tell her that coming over here was fun. Yeah, it's a great time Yeah, anyway, we've got old monk. It's on Netflix right now Just came out yesterday So if you haven't watched it, please go watch it. We'll start with the non spoilers Yeah, I'm getting to some spoils before we spoil your butt. Yep So Rick your initial non-spoiler thoughts, please watch it For all the reasons you should and we thought you would want to watch it from the trailer the fact that it's written and directed by Sujoy Gauche if you like the films that I think I think you would agree with me the kinds of films that Really in his wheelhouse that he's really really good at is this kind of a film If you like the acting of Vijay Varma and Jai deep and Kareena Kapoor you're gonna enjoy the acting of Jai deep Vijay Varma and Kareena Kapoor and Just the only thing I would say is allow it to just Unfold before your eyes. Just this is one of those movies that you get to just sit back and enjoy in the same way that Right before a if you've gone on a roller coaster before especially one that you don't know The incline as you're beginning can feel a lot longer than you were expecting because you don't know when that's gonna finally go Or what's over the edge, you know Enjoy the enjoy the incline. Yeah, and I I really enjoyed it. I'd watch it again. Yeah, I did as well It's a enjoyable Entertainer that you even for a two-hour 20 film. It didn't drag at all. Yeah I was I was a little concerned with the runtime. I thought at some point. I was gonna not like the runtime. Yeah Yeah, it didn't drag not at all He definitely kept you intrigued the entire time a lot of that has to do with obviously the writing a lot of it has to do With the performance the acting from all of our Bondu Dosts But it was a incredibly fun entertaining Not one that lucky at times. Yeah, I wouldn't call it edge of your seat thriller But it's a definitely entertaining thriller. Yeah, it's This is not a spoiler but just so that you would be prepared because if you're not prepared I think it might you might be a little disappointed if you went in with a certain expectation Don't go into it with the expectation of it having the pacing of say bad luck The pacing is very very different. Yeah, the intrigue is the same same But the pacing is very different and it it ought to be allowed to be the pacing it has I liked the pace. Yeah, I did as well. It was definitely a very and it kept you Guessing about correct. What was gonna happen next or why? That's just I mean that if you know, Sujoy gosh, and you've seen any of his and I haven't read the Neither of I but and if you see the trailer you're anticipating you're gonna be wondering Is what I'm seeing really what I'm seeing. Yeah So if you've if you've read the obviously the novel or anything like that, please let us know how it how it held Right the original material. We're just right off of what we saw. Yep But I definitely think it's a worthy watch. I don't think I need to go into any more spoiler talk Non-spoiler talk about that. I think it's just a worthy watch and you should go watch it and agree And we'll we'll get into some more spoils about everything else. It's just since it's like a thriller You don't want to really give anything away At all at all. It's an entertaining entertaining thriller that I think for sure You would not you'd have to have a certain maturity So biological age isn't the way to measure this but if you're thinking about who and the family can watch it Kids would be just bored. They wouldn't understand what is going on Teenagers would probably depending upon the maturity of your teenager would be really intrigued by this So I think from like 13 and up probably as a ballpark you could watch it But for the most part this is probably one of those things where you would enjoy with your significant other Oh, yeah a nice little you know glass of wine or some and something and just turn the lights off and enjoy the The drama that's what I did. Yeah, anyway, so go watch it We're gonna get into the spoils now and more in-depth about everything. Yes, watch. Please go watch. It's on Netflix come back Yes, this is for everyone who has seen it When Karina no Let's talk about the performances. Yes, because they're and my favorite I don't know about who your favorite and I liked all of them. I think they all did so so well J.D. Though was the see your favorite. He was my favorite performer. Yeah, I have a favorite, but it's not it's not One different than everything else. You've seen him. I love I love his versatility because at first when I think the first thing We saw him in was The series Was it the lock? No, he was in the lock. It was Was it the lock? What was the series we saw him in yeah, I Why am I forgetting the series? I think it it is it's but all luck. I think so Yes, yes, it is but all luck. I was correct. Yes You know when we were loved his performance tonight. Yeah, great But I don't think from that I would have thought you're a versatile actor You just you're really good and I actually think from what everything I've seen of him now the more stuff I'm like, I actually think he's a very versatile. Oh, he is and can do a lot. He can and this performance was very nuanced it was different than everything else I've seen of his it was Restrained at times and then He just showed a lot of range in this one that yeah, I really really appreciate it. What do you think it was? I agree. I put I put For me the the the artistry level and the kinds of roles and films that they do is is You can play this role for sure. I did. Yeah, I'd love to it's a good it very interesting and intriguing You could very interesting I Just forgetting the name I was gonna reference but that's okay JD. Yeah, it was JD But it was there was another actor I was gonna reference that they do similar roles and they have a similar depth and a similar capacity and Anytime we see him now in something because we've seen enough of his work We know that what you're gonna get is gonna be solid and it it it absolutely was he's I Mean what do you any there's just actors that when you hand them the roles You know, they're gonna do a solid job all three of these are actors that if you're doing something and they're right for that role You know, they're gonna give you a solid performance and that's exactly what happened as well as the her husband Yeah, we've seen a lot on I think he does he does a good zillion supporting roles Yeah, that's just like he's probably done a thousand a thousand Supporting roles and especially he's done stuff in series that we've seen He he had a support supporting role in Merzoper and It's him, right? Yeah, we just saw him in Hadi as well. Yeah and Hadi Yeah, he's just he's in a ton of stuff and he does great work all the time. He does Anyway, who was your favorite was a Karina. Yeah. Yeah, the reason being So we've seen her in a ton of stuff Like 10 yeah films. We've really seen a lot of Karina. Not enough. There's still more to see but in the scope of her work and I did some researching as well because the reason I did it was because and I'm happy to find out what I did in regard to she has made a conscious decision and This film is one of the very first this film and one other one that's gonna come out I was the beginning of a new season of work for her Intentionally that I read where she's made a decision to I wrote it down That this new phase for her is to focus on artistic merit rather than stardom First of all, yes always and forever Focus on the artistic merit more than stardom what she admittedly says that she began doing the work because of the pay Yeah, of course, but She's and we've seen this from her before I remember that I think the very first time I was impressed with her as an actress was Omkara You that and then Not that I didn't enjoy her silliness for example is like poo. Although I did have to laugh the minute They said Sonia at the beginning of the film. I laughed out loud. Yeah, I thought that was really I think but With Amir yes, she was very good at that But I think we I think the first time we saw her in something that wasn't the standard commercial Film was Omkara three idiots That's that was the first thing. Yeah, and she was great in the first thing that was the first thing we ever saw her in Yeah, but the first thing was like to coin the phrase of flexing the thespianatic muscle. It was Omkara I believe for me probably she was giving me and I mean this not in the form of that. She was impersonating I mean this in terms of complimenting her as an actress she had a Emotional availability could have been a little pun job as well. Sorry that too She had an emotional availability. She had a believability. There's actually so much and she had a strength in her persona That is that was reminiscent to me of how I feel when I watched taboo Mmm, and if this is the beginning point of you focusing on the artistry I Don't even beautiful. I know I am so excited to see what more of her work is going to be because I she she carried for me the same level of Capacity and I mean we're talking about taboo who for me is one of the greatest actresses to ever be put on film I this I felt I just thought she was absolutely beautiful in every frame of film on this. Yeah, she um She's super interesting because and I loved her performance as well I thought it was it was great and we've seen it a lot Because a writ like at first you'd think since we have seen her in a lot of commercial stuff Even though she's so good in everything, but like if you just if I think of creating poor I think of poop. Yeah, and she's so fun and sexy in those things because it's iconic Absolutely, but it's I was of the time right it was Karen Johar of the time Right extremely over the top right character was supposed to be right she did it extremely well, right And so that's the first thing it cuts on my mind And so I have to readjust my mind to think of we've seen her actually more in the other side Because I just went over an IMDb here. She has so many great performances. Oh, she does. Yeah, I've got a lalsing Chata lalsing Chata. I don't even get me started. Yeah Uda Punjab Baji by John with with Salman Khan in it Talosh We love we love her in she was great. Obviously, did you mention Uda Punjab? Yeah, Uda Punjab. Yeah, three idiots. Yeah, even though it's commercial She was um Kara. Yeah So there's so many that by the way happy happy belated birthday, Bebo It was yesterday um Kara and and day before by the time you see this She was in dawn and happy anniversary in advance because she and safe have an anniversary in October and Jab we met as well. Yeah, but those were commercial more actually seen more of her actually I think in the the better role in terms of like the the acting wise It's just a hard to like I said the first thing I think of when I think of cream of course I think of poo every single time of course and so I'm like that's that's just who she is and actually I think she's actually the other I think she's actually more an actress that is just she's really good at the commercial stuff as well She is but I'm I believe and I'm rooting for her I see in her a depth and a capacity in Acting and I believe based on what I've you know what I read about what she's really focusing on is That she's she is now gonna be entering into what is the beginning of the wheelhouse of Really doing some spectacular Meritorious I was gonna say award-winning but that doesn't mean anything most places anymore Meritorious kinds of performances that I'm so looking forward to we saw it in in Laosing Chata and the reasons for that not being well received are so absurdly ridiculous because the quality of that it from every level Is is especially her performance and the script by concarney I just love what she's doing next though, right? Refresh my memory because I did see it the what the crew which is a Has Karina Rajkumar. Oh, yes. Yes, pretty son in and taboo. Yeah, and Diljit. I was wondering how has it has that It's the last time she work at Diljit. Oh the Punjab might be. Oh, cuz he does obviously is more Yeah, but the great thing is to know that more than likely if you see her name attached to something right now Her focus is an artistic merit not stardom Which is always preferred choose to be an actor not a movie star at the end of the day Director coming up here to Ali about oh, it's Whoa Look at this. Look at this cast. Look at this cast run veer Karina Kapoor Khan Ali about Vicky Kosher And Anil Kapoor and Tanvi Kapoor hold my stars talked which I think I've heard a stuff about I think it's been in production for a Long time, but it's Karen Johar Okay, so hold on. I was just reading the log line a little bit is this Like what we've been waiting for Karen Johar embracing and doing a story that is very much Artistic Historical drama not his wheelhouse of the the Bollywood love that he he has done for years But we've often said we want to see him do more Well, even if it's really serious it's not having that cast is gonna elevate it to a level that Because all those actors are actors that we absolutely Store there's one they're all they're all heavyweight. Yeah, I don't know what this is you guys can tell us But anyway, let's get back to the film. Sorry. Yeah, sorry. We get off the tangent Karina Kapoor. You're amazing Would love to have you on the channel. Yeah, we'd love to talk to you Not the other dose and your husband come both of you join us VJ Varma. Yeah, which we know we love Hey, I think he's one of the best young actors agree. I don't think he's that young He's probably older than I am actually no, but he is young in the consciousness of the audience. Yes, um, but He gave a different he has such versatility There's like the first things you see him in I think he was people were trying to put him in the Nawaz rolls Of like right put a gun in his hand, right? Right? You can do and he does amazing. Yeah But I think he's on purpose trying to do these different roles to show I have this range And I don't want to be put in a box. Yeah, also. I'm such I like to do these different roles I can do these different roles that being the the cop Which also had different variants to him of his attraction to Karina Kapoor at the same time Yep, and he gives has such depth and such chemistry and such like I I loved his performance Yeah, it was a great performance My favorite thing about his role is I feel like I spent more time watching him think than talk Yeah, even though he had a ton of dialogue I really felt like the majority of the time if of those three characters if there was one of them And that makes sense because he's the one trying to figure things out It requires a certain depth of actor to be able to play that character without indicating or Stereotyping what they're doing and yeah, I Knew it from the really knew it from the trailer if you've got these actors in Something and they were all the supporting were great as well. So hats off to Sujoy Josh gosh, sorry of I Don't it's usually always I think the only issues we had with his directing everywhere in the short that we saw in less stories too And but it wasn't the performances weren't bad. No, I think he's a really good Actors and obviously when he's in his wheelhouse He always tries to do stuff different with story and and keep the audience guessing It's wonderful and it does seem that this is he's very good at thrillers. Yes. Yes who done it's in every way I mean, there were several points in this. I was thinking he makes it look so easy with his screenwriting and his directing This kind of film is not easy to pull off Because you can show too much not show enough. Yeah, I mean of all genres this is one that's really really difficult because you you can't make mistakes with what you show people in Either direction because then you you ruin the illusions. Yeah, which I loved the Through he does this so many times where he lets you know in the script I'm playing tricks on you. Yeah, pay attention to me. Yep He does it in the script. Yeah, and it was paid attention Yeah, the little thing that you know the little thing with the coin with the student and then his statements in mathematics He's just such an intelligent writer and storyteller and this is my favorite I I have seen Badland now probably five or six times just because it Especially watching it with somebody who hasn't seen it because you love watching Where they're guessing and if they're coming close to understanding what's going on and at one point Again your favorite Film affairs. No, no, no that bad luck is If I said it was my favorite, it's one of my favorites I love watching bad luck over and over again Okay, but my the there was a point as Kahani with some where the the yeah, I love Kahani the Ascent I was talking about in the intro of this There was a point where I was waiting for that to come over and It wasn't happening and I even wrote in my notes at that point when I was wondering when Where are we going with this and I said I wish I hadn't known what happened the way V like VJ. I wish I had been in his mindset not knowing what I because he showed us what happened Yeah, and then I pulled myself back from that incident. No, no, no, no, no. I Think I've seen I know Sujoy Ghosh He's gonna treat and sure enough the minute it tipped over the edge the rest of the finality of the film was just One of the issues and maybe you guys can tell me why this would happen I don't I actually don't understand why they didn't go to the police in the first place because When her husband showed up. Yeah, and he was basically attacking and saying he was gonna sell his daughter into prostitution He's a cop So you think they would wouldn't believe it was he's a cop his word against theirs, but he's dead now Oh, you mean after they killed him. Yes, so like it's just because they killed a cop But they there's two of them they could say he would he attacked us He was saying he was gonna sell us into Prostitution obviously I know there's different laws. This is Nepal So different rules that would be here cuz right all they would have to do is like a mother and daughter would have to Say he was he was attacking us. We were acting in self-defense And so I don't I didn't understand why they couldn't have done that that didn't dawn on me So you bother me me my wife would just want to say I don't I don't understand why you just didn't go to the police And maybe there's a reason and I'm open to knowing and it didn't ruin the film part part of that would be I mean, I always assume there's just laws and stuff in other countries that I just don't yeah, but at that point it would be Prove it because what evidence would they be able to prove that he did anything he had only been there a day Well, there's no physical marks on anybody that he assaulted them. That's true I My thought would just be there's two of them. And so you have witness and another stuff Maybe I'm wrong. You guys let me at least let me know it didn't ruin the film at all I really enjoyed this film. I just that was the one thing that it kept going in my mind I was like, I just don't understand why you just didn't go to the police. It didn't make sense to me But you guys please one nice score. Let me know by the way. Yes, I did really enjoy the score Yeah, I'm really well done. It's and there was I kept trying to figure out because right when I thought it was very funny They'll never find the body we found the body There were some quirky funny moments in this that I really appreciated. Yeah, they'll never find the body But I kept trying to figure out I was like Why wouldn't he burn the clothes? There's a reason he didn't exactly and so like and then I when it came to the end I went, oh, that's why he didn't burn. I thought about that I was like, I was a maybe he did that But then I forgot about it until the very end when I was like he met the guy was like, oh, he killed this guy But Suja gave a reasonable excuse early on about that because when he was being questioned. Jai deep said I was afraid people could see the flames Mmm. I thought that was a lie Well, it clearly was yeah, he he purposefully didn't burn them all the way through so they could find the DNA on the clothes Yeah, but his his reason behind why that was put out was I So that for me works. So do I got me on that? I'm I'm sad that he never told us what he did with the body Because I want to like I want to know what you did man Did he breaking bad it? Did he like I know? I want I wanted to know and then there was a bunch of mathematics stuff that went I'm assuming you're smart. Yeah, we put algebra and geometry. Okay. I believe you Wow Wow Wow, I don't even know what that means stuff. Wow That's great. I have no idea what that means don't want to know. What is a geometry equation anxiety? Yeah What's the difference? I don't it actually I don't know Or very dumb. Yeah, but yeah, I enjoyed the entire thing. I really enjoyed all the performances The direction of it. I enjoyed the score the cinematography had a really nice feel to it sure did Which I enjoyed there was actually quite a few shots in this. I was like, ooh, that's that's very pretty Yeah, and as was shot out as well to all of the prop and makeup and everything and yeah Because all of the face smashing and the dead body exams and everything looked very believable Did you recognize the song she was dancing? Yeah, the Helen song minute They put the video up on there blackface people in the kitchen. Yep. I immediately recognized it I know that song yeah And I know there were probably a couple of other Easter eggs He put in there because I heard some background things going on on TVs and a few other stuff that we probably missed But I did not miss Helen and I also thought her daughter did a good job I did I wanted to mention it because I thought she did a kid's you never know sometimes sometimes they're they're not great Yeah, the kid that he was up the student. He was playing with a lot. I thought I did so Yeah, I like the relationship as well and yeah, there's just there's very little if any that I didn't like about this film I think it's an enjoy. I think if you watch it, you're probably gonna enjoy it Yep, you might not like walk away being like, ah the best film ever But I don't think you're gonna walk away not having a good time. No, I don't think and I think that's the point of this Thing I think the point of this movie is to just it's like a good book You read yeah, and you may not go read that book ever again, but you loved it And you'd recommend it and it was very well put together and this is this is a very well There's I could think of a bunch of other films that Would would be say commercial successes Yeah, that I wouldn't want to give the time of day whereas this one I would really love to see a lot of people watch it because I think they would Appreciate every level of it most especially the acting and for anybody that really I can't imagine folks don't know How good of an actress Karina Kapoor is in terms of her being I imagine we're just getting there and most people know yeah But I I knew she was very good For her to what I see is going I really think God granting long life and health and prosperity for her I think she's gonna start creating a filmography That's gonna have the same type of critical acclaim and applause Internationally as taboo. Yeah, I she's got that it factor I think she might have already like I said, I think many may already think she's better than taboo I'm talking my personal. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think anybody thinks you I don't think anybody thinks most people better than taboo Maybe maybe equal but that's that's that's that's a little much for me, but Let's talk about Radhika Because you know I love Radhika I think we're just Getting there in terms of knowing because we still have so much of her to see I know I'm excited to recommend it a lot. Sure like her like that's we know more style performances And so obviously please let us know what no But we've heard so much and they've had much bigger more broadly accepted films in the past couple of years for us Since we're still babies at this is In in in the forefront of our attention because of the films. They've released has been alia and de Pica and Radhika and Colky obviously and you know, we could we even even because of the series and a couple of other things there were points where we've seen You know of other people like Schwastika But for me, I would love to see her do a series But the thoughts I had had predominantly because of music videos we'd seen and several of the films We had seen my thought was of like you said you even said you think more of her as poo Yeah, I do and I did too until now. Okay, my thoughts are That's what she did and was successful and beloved in that way and she's a beautiful woman and she's got great quirkiness in her comedy But if I go back and I find those nuggets of artistry that we've seen three idiots on Kara woulda Punjab to to last yeah, and now this and Hearing that she said this is a new season for her where she's gonna focus on artistry not stardom There isn't an actress. I'm more excited to see what she's gonna do next Nobody that I'm a bit is Karina Kapoor when a film she has coming up in the cruise I'm guessing it's coming out next year the cast and alone is incredible. Yeah So anyways, let us know what you thought about the film. Did you enjoy it? Did you not like it? Well, obviously if we had questions, please answer those in the comments below What should be the next film for all these people including our bondu to joy to go?
