 I find bananas to be appealing. I find you to be disgusting. Welcome back to our stupid ranks, I'm Corbin. I'm Rick. And you can follow us on Instagram and Twitter. It's so juicy. Now you're gonna have to clean that up. It's all over your face. And I take photos of some Patreon and follow an official Twitter account. What are we doing? Do you feel it in the air? No, but I can smell it. Yeah. Smells like a movie review. Do you smell the filth? Yep. Smells musty. It's a gross smell. That's a... It is. It smells musty. You know that smells like it smells musty. Ew. But we finally, finally reviewed a film that, I think they're all like this, but this one was high up there for a long time because we're back to this trailer early on. Yeah, I remember a while back and we were like, it was one of those, I really want to see this one. So we finally got this. But it's called Bag Milka Bag. Which, yes everybody, now you know why Corbinizations have been on the decline. Well, if you don't, you suck. Yep, you haven't been paying attention. Go watch the video. But yes, we finally watched Bag Milka Bag. Yeah, Bag Milka Bag. Which is run, milk or run. I think it's likes milk, milk. No. Likes milk? Like. Like. Really likes milk. Something like that. But it's obviously directed by, directed by... I'm not that good at it. Rakesh Amprakash Mera. He also directed Rang de Basanti. Rang de Basanti. Or as we like to call it here, Bang de Basanti. Like you like that. I always thought of Rang de Basanti. I did. I'm the one who was. I still do that occasionally. The other day I slipped and said that and Drani corrected me. Rang de Basanti. But it's starring Farhan Akhtar. Yes, who we haven't been introduced to yet. Oh, wait. Well, yeah. In Debra. Yeah. But I didn't recognize him. At all. We're going to talk about him. Yeah, but it was one of those things. Whatever. We'll talk about him. But the synopsis for you really, it's real quick. It is the truth behind the ascension of Nilkasingh who was scarred because of the India-Pakistan partition. Yes. Yep. And it's about the flying sick. Correct. Sick. The flying sick. I've heard it both ways. I have. Apparently I have. I have too, but I believe. Yeah, I think it's sick. More common, original pronunciation is sick. But yeah, I've heard it. Yeah. People would say that. Me too. This is right. But yeah, this is one of the films that people kept saying that it's like one of the best sports movies to ever come out of India. Right. But it's... Where was it? Who else was in this? I didn't recognize too many other people. So I just wanted to make sure I didn't... Oh, well I'll tell you what. There were people we didn't recognize, but there were two actors who so impressed me that I did some research on them after I watched the film because I was so impressed with how good they were. My thought was, number one, no way they're not trained. Number two, no way they haven't been working on a really long time. I bet I know who it is. Yeah. And I was right about both of them. Initial thoughts. Initial thoughts. This is... I really, really enjoyed this movie a lot. So did I. I love the movie. I'm glad you enjoyed it because I fought you viciously. Absolutely. This is one of my... Not only one of my favorite films we've seen since we've been doing OSR, this is one of my... There's a lot of sports films that I love. This is one of my favorite sports films. It was a fantastic sports film. Fantastic sports film. And I didn't know about this guy defying sick at all. My wife, actually, she watched it with me. She usually does. She was like, oh, the flying... Yeah, I know. I know of the flying sick. Really. I think we learned about him in school or something because she knew him from the Olympics. And I was like, oh, cool. That's awesome. I had no idea. So that was a completely fresh new story to me. And I think it was to her. She just knew of him. She didn't really know what happened behind him. But yeah. This film was so good all around. I really enjoyed from the acting to the writing to the pacing to the directing to the music. There's hardly any gripes I have of film outside of a few white actors. Yeah, I've just got... Which is far for the course, man. Hire me! The white actors show up. It is a shame. Guys, we've said it before. Well, we would love to come do stuff. I will work for a dollar above scale. Yep. I'll work scale. I'll do a dollar above scale. I know Indy, so. Yeah, but I will say, speaking of that, we'll also, before you yell at me, I don't cast American films. So you say you guys cast terrible Indian actors in your films. I don't cast film. We don't casting directors. God, shut up! Already. Go ahead. Yeah. Let's just get that out of the way right now because the minute they showed up on the screen, first it was the girls and then it was the coach from Australia. Oh my God. There they are. The girl who plays his romantic interest there for a little bit. She actually was, she was fine. Yes, she was. But compared to everybody else, it was awful. We can talk about Fahad Khan. Let's save him for the little bit later. Okay, sure. Because we're going to probably spend a lot of time talking about him. Okay. Let's talk about, since we were talking about the actors that we didn't enjoy, let me tell you, you probably feel the same way. And again, we're, we will nitpick anything because what we're looking for in a film is there are some films we've seen that were pretty much perfect for us. The first one obviously that comes in mind is Header where believability and details are all like spot, we can't find a flaw. There's several films that were that way but this one had a couple of flaws but they make up maybe 2% of the film. 98% of it, the rest of it for me was I loved the movie. So to point these out are just to point out where it wasn't perfect and here it was for me and it's pretty simple. The physical altercations that took place both with the kids fighting each other and then the uncle kicking him was not believable. So nitpicking and the kids fighting it wasn't believable other than that. And the other potential right I may have, I don't know yet is I don't know how accurate this was to the history. Yeah, but we're not going to go off of that. Not at all. We're just going off the film so if there's inaccuracies you can let us know. We're just going off the film. Just going off of what we know and what we saw. So those are my only minuscule rights. And it was actually quite nice because it's a 3 hour 5 minute film and the pacing was good. It kept you interested because it could have very well been a very boring film. Yeah, because a film about running is not off the bat interesting. There's only one other film that I've ever seen about running that engaged me and I loved and was rooting for Come Oscar time and that was Cherry It's a Fire. Forrest Gump. That's not a movie about running. Technically it is. But yeah, the sport I agree that it was awesome to learn about this guy and it was painful at times because when you stepped on whatever that rock was great makeup by the way. I thought it was a nail. Great makeup. Did you notice when they pulled the rock out a little fresh blood started to flow from out of it? That looked really good. Yeah, ouch. I was wondering, I mean I get it it's like you're going to have to wear shoes the farther up you go into the competitions. I wonder how if that was all true because natural running it's actually the best way to run it's better for your feet is to run on barefoot. That was really interesting. I thought the makeup was really good on that. I enjoyed that part of it. I would like to know how much of this was accurate to his life because there's a lot of details they covered a lot which is the interesting way they did it is that they started from him losing the Rio and then they went into basically why he now won't go to Pakistan. It was kind of like a is it Forrest Gump that does it? Yeah, Forrest Gump. He basically goes backwards he starts telling his life story and then we get to the present which is a it doesn't happen often but it's a nice format if you do it correctly it can fill up a film nicely. Agreed and they did it very nicely here. I felt I liked it a lot the director did a phenomenal job. Really I was so impressed at so many places with the direction deeply, deeply impressed and it doesn't surprise me because we were deeply impressed with Rengar Basanti and before we get into our lead actor the two other actors that I felt were flawless just fantastic. Sartash? Yes. He looked ridiculously similar to Sartash right when he came up to the screen I was like that's not Sartash but he could very well be his brother. Right he could especially the fact that he really looked like he was one of my favorite characters in the entire film. The two my two favorite people in it because of their acting prowess other than Farhan were his coach in the army Yeah. Yeah it's Pavan Malhotra and the man who played his dad with the long beard oh yeah he was great fan and I did some research on them the actor who plays his dad with the long beard member of the royal Shakespeare company not a shock Yeah that guy was and they both have extensive resumes including American films that they've been in an American TV show so both of those actors it is obvious they were about as good as anything I've seen in supporting roles Yeah absolutely forgot about the dad he was one of my favorites I loved him. He was so good, so believable, so strong in his performance I liked him a lot Other than the physical violence part of it as well I felt that the little boys both Farhan as a little boy and then his best friend I felt they were really good the majority of the time they were believable Very sweet moment when they got reunited Did you cry there? Yeah Yeah I got emotional there I didn't That's not really a shock anymore but it was a really sweet moment I didn't expect that for him to come back but the actor did very well and it was a really sweet moment The guy say his name Pavan Mahotra who plays the coach so me and my wife both were like at the end I loved the coach I thought he had great chemistry Farhan Farhan's character and I thought his performance was beautiful in the way that his character was written as well was really beautiful I felt that the main ladies in the film which would be his sister and the love of his life at the beginning I felt they were solid I didn't find them to be as compelling to my eyes or written to be as compelling as the other two were referencing but they did do solid work I have no complaints at all about the sister and his love interest at the very beginning I thought the sister did very well She did have very strong moments She was always believable for me I liked one of my favorite parts was when he was putting on the jacket and he knew it was going to happen I said it out loud they're going to come in they're going to see you and beat you up that's a weird thing to do that's a weird thing to do they're just ripping off what's that all about okay but like the so dumb but when he came in and he was yelling at him and then the other guy who was beating him up and then you turned to him and he just started slapping him he's like you want one of those that can work for you exactly that was a great slap by the way the actors had talked about that he gave him permission and said slap the snot out of me do you think he actually slapped him? guaranteed we're going to talk about Farhan I'm pretty sure they discussed it and discussed it with the director and he said do it it's happened a few times in films that I've been in as long as it's for a scene that's more powerful not just a random thing that you could get away with I usually always tell them if not a punch but like a slap 100% and there's ways you can do a slap for screen and for stage where you get hurt you get slapped especially if it's a critical important because the worst thing that can happen in those moments is it not look real because you take away the power of the scene the suspension of disbelief is gone they really didn't slap each other and it also helps you as an actor if you get slapped unbeknownst to yourself your eyes might start welling up pink on the cheeks you feel it there's a reason actors will do some stupid stuff they'll want some they don't want to get in a lot of pain but they want it to a little self slapping Tatum Channing did that Channing Tatum not Tatum Channing that's so good Tatum Channing did that in Fox Catcher when he punched himself in the face it reminded me of that when Farhan was slapping himself in the face where the actor is and I thought about that when Farhan was slapping himself I thought Gussie how many takes did they have to do on that one because there's only so many you could do before his face is going to get swollen and red but the uh should we talk about Farhan now should we go into Farhan? so we already knew that he was solid from Deborah if you don't know what Deborah is sorry sorry we already knew he was solid from that and then when we did some research on him we realized wow this guy and obviously his sister director of Gully Boy and other things we were like wow we want to get to know this guy he with this role alone proved to me he's an actor's actor can explain that in a second and that he is one of the better actors I've ever seen he's the kind of actor who will fully immerse himself into a role in the way that say a Christian Bale will in order to be believable he reminds me the way it looks like he commits himself to every aspect of the character the amount of work he probably does on backstory and history but the physical transformation he will put himself through I think he's probably at the level of a Christian Bale oh yeah I agree he was he was so good in this one like I said I didn't recognize him half way through the film I'm like I've seen this guy I've seen this guy and I looked it up and thought you've got to be kidding me and looked at him again and looked back down at my computer laptop as I'm watching the movie and thought that's Farhan from Deborah oh my goodness well like if you look at this picture that looks like the guy from Deborah Farhan looks more like that most of the time that does not look like him no and let's just talk about the physical transformation he put himself through and the believability of him as a runner because they did a lot of shots of him long shot full running he was as believable an athlete in their profession as any sports film I've ever seen I can't think of an athlete portrayal that's better than the way he portrayed this believability that he was the athlete not a flaw maybe it's I don't know what it is maybe it's the hair and the beard his face looks skinnier to me it is the hair being lifted up makes the face shape different he has a beard now I remember in the trailer comments saying I didn't recognize Farhan even Indians didn't recognize him because of the transformation he took but I didn't really understand and I didn't know until after because I knew that Farhan there's a new actor in here that we don't really know but I thought we'd never seen him and then I looked up after and I was like me too crap that's the guy from Deborah yeah what about his writings producing I think he does directing as well yeah he does directing so if I call him an actor's actor he's the kind of actor that when you watch you want to work with because you know he's fully committed and probably a joy to work with and is a perfectionist and will show up early on set and leave late and probably treat everybody with respect. There's something about the demeanor of the way he carries himself in his work that shows a total commitment to what he does could be wrong about some of the salient aspects of his personality as a person but I just was as impressed with him as I could be and want to see a lot more of his work. I'm now as excited for him as many of the other actors that we've come to get to know and you can let us know what else of his that we need to react to because I know he has a lot on his oh that was the other thing the other thing we just recently saw him in he plays Priyanka's husband and the sky is pink does he really which he was great in oh yeah he did wow yeah he's good he's for me he is one of the actors that I would really he's an actor you watch work like when you watch Brian Cranston or Jonathan Banks or Nawazuddin or Gary Oldman you watch these guys work and you think oh or Irfan or Big B or on the ladies side of things you watch Alia and you watch Topeka and Priyanka and I watch obviously Meryl Streep and Glenn Close you watch these women and your thoughts are number one I would just like to sit and watch you work and then the honor of actually doing scene work with you what that must be like a joy of bouncing off with people at that level wow he really blew me away yeah I did not realize that sky's pink now I remember after we watched it I remember saying that he was in it but I completely forgot again that he was actually in it but I yeah he was phenomenal on that he did really well no you couldn't tell that this character was in that movie or the Deborah movie at all no it's so different so what of his should we watch next week please let us know as well as any of the other work that we mentioned who were in the supporting roles and the other work of I'm so impressed with I love the score and I really was deeply impressed with the direction I thought the directing on the film was extremely good well yeah that director you know we know and we liked Raghavisanti we thought that was a phenomenal film that movie was really really good one of the singers in it is the Shankar Mahadevan Breathless although I want to know I feel like I did too there was a point in one of the songs I heard his voice absolutely agree with you we'll check it's not on IMDB but I know his name I don't know I could have swore I heard his name I could have swore it was him maybe they sound similar because we obviously just the other day we were acting to one of Shankar Mahadevan's songs and obviously Breathless we've heard that one and so we know he has a ridiculously good voice but I swear I heard what's his name? Dollar Mendy's voice me too I'm with you there was one song where I was like that's gotta be Dollar Mendy let me know if I'm crazy and also you were talking about one more thing on this film Little Gripe I Had one of the races I forget which one it was they had a couple I think there were two white dudes racing against him and they were in the middle and they were like almost neck and neck with him but they were like fat I didn't even see that they're like not fat fat but they were like out of shape and you could tell they shouldn't be in a race with somebody that looks like Farhan Khan what is his name? Farhan Oktar Farhan Oktar I'm confusing his name now that's alright at least you're not calling him Chading Tannim that's true or whatever there was like one race where like you could go back and see he's winning but then right behind him are these two white guys and they were like ridiculously white skinny legs and he's kind of pudgy in the middle that's like you couldn't have got actual runners or people that look like they're running like me with my shirt off as you've seen yeah exactly come on no and there's one last thing too that's obviously a deep part of the story here which is and was very intriguing to me the book I'm sure even dives into it a lot more of the centrality of this man's story and the legit PTSD he was dealing with of the partition and what happened to so many when that happened and still the tensions that exist today I found that to I just find that whole situation that we're just still learning about to be just so sad you know just so so sad and I know there's a bunch of documentaries about when it actually happened and like the mass migrations that happened on both going either way depending on what your religion was or where your family was all that stuff and the mass migration and the people that died from it right like it's an insane thing that happened it's a real it's a travesty yeah it was a phenomenal, phenomenal film I really really enjoyed this film I did too one of my favorites anybody that the only reason that I wouldn't suggest is to some like an American right away even though everything in it they could digest I feel like is the length that'd be the only thing I just don't want them to get bored I would say once an American is adjusted to the run times this would be one of the first ones absolutely because it doesn't have it has enough cultural references to learn but they have to keep their interest but not feel disconnected because everything in this film that people could appreciate the acting, the directing, the writing the songs, everything in it I even enjoyed the the song, the military song I think it was one of the first ones when they were dancing in the military oh I love that that was a lot of fun and I love that soldier with the high screechy voice I love that guy that was weird I didn't like country song well you're not a fan of country period no one should be if that's what it was I don't know I don't know how many how much Indians know about country music I'm not a fan he's not a fan, I am, I love all genres of music but that was like the most stereotypical country song I've ever heard in my life it was this is what white people do they dance to this weird music and some of them do you're right line dancing is actually a lot of fun yeah but that song was not no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no line dancing like there was a place in San Antonio we used to go to that was I love to go to because they had live bands line dancing and then you could go down the hall and you'd walk inside and there would be bull riding what was it? south of south east of San Antonio but not too far away, I forgot what the place was called well yeah like I said this was phenomenal, let us know a bunch of those actors we should watch next which film we should watch and review next would you, where would you put this of the sports films we've seen thus far that have come from India how many movies we have? well the first one that comes to mind instantly is Choct India and then we had the which one are you thinking of? Lagann which is for cricket and then I feel like there was a third one we've done that's a sport focused we had a field hockey, we have a cricket didn't we have another cricket focused one? the Akshay, what was the Akshay one? that was just the trailer, we haven't seen gold yet I think it's it Lagann was our cricket one early on and then Choct India was field hockey this was running I feel like there's one more we saw it was a sport film no? I don't think so yes I got it, what is it? dongle oh yeah wrestling, yep oh that's tough here's the thing that's really tough dongle was a phenomenal film dongle was great and Lagann was great yeah I don't know if I could and Choct India I want to revisit I really want to revisit that at some point yeah that would be at the bottom for me it is for me too but I know that I would probably like there was too much bad acting yeah there was stuff about it you didn't like I agree but I don't know this I don't know dongle was phenomenal I'll tell you what, there was no weak points in dongle there wasn't but I will tell you this as far as it pertains to an actor portraying the athleticism at a level that is impeccable it's Farhan I don't know wrestling, they're wrestling enough their wrestling is not our wrestling I agree I can't tell you the experts in that, the only sport that I could watch then tell you definitively if it was doing it the right way there would only be a couple, it would be baseball and it would be MMA other than that I don't know if you're going to have to wait for end of year top 10 movies and some boxing films so we're going to do a top 10 list at the end of the year we should do a top 10 of our personal favorites personal favorites yeah top 10 personal favorites and then our top 10 songs yeah that's a good one we'll do that at the end of the year and then you can know which one we like best
