 And we'll go back to this part for the price of our watch on to Maviran, the 2023 Tamil film. If you haven't seen the first and second part, please go watch those. And what are you doing here? They're already on YouTube, obviously. Get over there. If you've seen this on YouTube though, and you haven't seen those, or if you forgot, we can only see a very limited amount of picture-in-picture. Otherwise they will come, and they will stick things in our butts. That's true. If you'd like to see the full uncut version though, you can head over to Patreon. I'll put the link in the description with a pinned comment. And at the end of this, we will obviously talk about the movie at the end. So, let's just get back into this. Here we go. I'm going to ask a question. Will I die? No. Die brave or live cowardly. Both. Die cowardly and wait. Now his cowardice is making the people he loves acquiesce and give in. Now she's giving up. Rashid Khan. Yay. It's like every Tamil film there's always superstars somewhere. It is. Wow. That's a really astute thing to do cinematically right there. What's the symbolism there? Stay silent. No. The symbolism there is to... There's a transition happening. I'll talk about it afterwards. The chaplain reference, I have a suspicion of what that means. And it's very cinematically intelligent. Very. It's hard for me to stay in that other hotel. You still don't get it, right? Your mother doesn't care about you. You. You won't be able to face any problems and ask questions for a day. How can I ask questions to them? You can't do it alone, right? They're all powerful people. How many people have come to this comic before you? But I thought you'd be the only one who would ask questions about people's problems. There's a anger that you need to change your mind and mind. That anger is the story you're asking about. Your power is the power to tell it. All this is good to hear. But in the story he tells me, I'm the climax of death. Everything is climax in the story. But the climax... It's the death of the coward. I told you I didn't want this for so long. Now I'll tell you. I'll try to do what he tells me to do. He has stopped telling the story. How do I know what's going to happen next? Why? You're the one who told the story, right? Find out. There's no room for people to solve the problem. He said there's no building. This building is a big problem. Hey! After you do this, who will send your message? If there's a problem in the building, it'll be in that document. He's literally having a crisis of conscience. It's just brilliant. I don't know. He's just feeling it. Great shot. That's a great shot. The villain. Hey! Look who's there. Call the minister. It's the dark night. Nice shot there too. Beautiful. Remember what mom said? He won't even respond like a dog. But also that's a great day. They're like the most scared dogs on the planet. Gentle giants. I have one. Ooh, barbed wire. Oh wow. Arn and club form. That's what I've been waiting for. What? Do you want me to turn you around? What? Do you want me to keep you in your shoes? Who? Do you want me to keep you in your shoes? He says he'll open up the engineering department. They do an inspection. Where's that document? Didn't you tell me that file was stolen that day? The building is going to be demolished. Didn't you tell me that file was stolen that day? Sir, that's just a folder. There's nothing inside. Did you keep it for a long time without anything? They won't believe what I say. But they'll believe what you say, right? Did he really demolish the building as he said? Hey! He said he'll demolish the building. That's not the idea. Sir, if the building was demolished while the people were there, not only this election, no election can be won anymore. The government has to forget about it. Sir, please do that for your election. The entire building has to be demolished within four hours. Okay, sir. Hey! I'm saying no, right? Let's finish the job and take care of it. Sir, you don't understand. This is a serious matter. I'll take care of it. Hey! That building will be demolished immediately. I'm telling you, right? Sir! I've never done anything like this before. Hey! What are you looking at? Go and demolish this building. Who's the minister here? Idiot! How did you forget to come to this place? Now listen to what I say. It will be demolished immediately. That was unexpectedly violent. Things just got real. The other rock is going to hit the rope. So many turns, I thought I knew where it was going. And they took it to a place that was far better than I was thinking it could go. I agree. He was literally born again. Oh! Someone's laying it off. He's such a driver, bro. You're hearing voices too? I saw the file. It was in the government. I was the one who wrote all your stories. Right in his own story now. Yup. So that the greedy would all be killed by their own creations. There's got to be somebody in the building. He's got to save. Yeah. There's got to be somebody in the building. The baby? Is it the little one? The plaque? Yeah, it's the little one. Why are you up there? That's from DDLJ. Cinema part. Sathya, it's good. We can continue this. I can't say. What do you think? I think it was exactly what I needed. And it's every... All of the problems I had with Jawan. This fixes all of them. This is everything Jawan should have been. And it's just... How well has this done? I think it did very well. I don't know specifically, but I believe I definitely think it made a profit. I don't know how much, but I know it definitely got great word of mouth. For sure. This is just... I absolutely loved it. Yeah, it was... Absolutely loved. One of my favorites of the year. Yeah. Love. I wish we could have seen it in theater. Me too. I think it speaks volumes that all of the theaters and IMAX locations and everything for Jawan and this even get released here? I think it got released. I don't think it was close to us, though. But it was back in, I think, June. I think it was when it was released. Oh, whenever it was released. But... So I'm guessing they're going to set it up as a... Obviously a franchise? That's obviously what it would seem like. I thought it was... Not necessarily. I don't think necessarily. I bet we're gonna get a sequel. It wouldn't surprise me if they don't. But it's also interesting that he can't hear in the end, though. So all he hears now is the voice in his head. Or just knows what to do because obviously it kind of... He was writing his own story, per se, there at the end. I think he becomes... I think he and the voice become one. Yeah. And now he may actually be a superhero. Yeah. Now all he hears is that inside, that internal voice. There's no other... The symbolism and intelligence of the screenplay are off the freaking charts. This movie makes... Does what good screenwriting, directing, moviemaking should do. Assume the intelligence of the audience not... Just go to the bank on how stupid you assume they are. I just... That alone... He can no longer be distracted by the voices around him telling him to be anything less than who he's supposed to be. It's brilliant. And it was very well done. It was engaging. I liked all the performances. The whole time. There wasn't a minute of this movie that dragged for me. Not a minute. I think it could have been about... I think they probably could have tightened it up a little bit in terms of like a 220 as opposed to a 240. But it didn't... It felt more like a two hour to me. Didn't bother me at all. But I thought he did very well. I was engaged with the story. I liked that it was such a different story. So original. His super power. Until the very end, I think. The last really original superhero movie that I've seen... You tell me if you feel the same way. It's now this one. But before this, it was Mino Minari. Mino Minari. Yeah. This is exactly what superhero movies need is intelligence and good acting and a storyline that keeps you guessing and is ahead of you the whole time, has symbolism that's extraordinarily intelligent that is not... This is how you, for example, among the many messages in here, this is how you properly talk about the human condition and corruption with a very specific storyline that can then point its finger in various directions of reality to say, here's what's wrong and this is the way it needs to be fixed. And the way it needs to be fixed is the kind of person that's a real superhero is the kind of person that listens to the conscience inside of them that knows what to do is right, but it requires courage to do it and it may require a lot of self-sacrifice, but you know you need to do it because it's the right thing to do. The messaging couldn't be more wonderful. Yeah. Yeah. I wish I had VJ Satapathis voice in my head. But yeah, how original it was, how basically, for the most part, it wasn't actually a superhero story. It was a stereotypical superhero story, which we don't need anymore. In terms of he has these power... I think he does now, actually. But that's what's so great. The power that he has now is just being true to himself. Listening to the voice inside of him that is the courageous and brave voice and blocking out all of the voices around him, that's the thing, is that all of us have a hero inside of us that's constantly being challenged by our circumstances, by the voices around us, the voices within us that are trying... There's this great saying, an old Native American story. I'll botch it up a little bit, but it says... It's a father talking to his son about there's two animals that live inside of us. One is the brave animal and one is the coward. And the child said, well, what determines whether or not which one's going to rule you? And he said, with the one you feed. And the ending of him is... The message is the superpower that you need to be the best you can be, that you were designed to be, that fate destiny God made you to be, is right within you, if you would just have the courage to do what's right and listen to that voice inside of you. And then once you do it, you will never turn back because you will know that right is right and wrong is wrong, and there are certain voices that tell you not to speak truth, be truth. It's just freaking magnificent. It's easily one of my faves of the year. Without question. It's super entertaining. And it... What were you saying about the Charlie Chaplin thing? Oh, yeah. I would love to talk to the director because he wrote it as well. You don't have messaging in motion pictures. Motion pictures like a lot of things before in stage were vaudevillian and entertaining. And Chaplin was the first one to use cinema on a global scale and to be known globally for the use of cinema to send a message about corruption in politics, about the human condition, about the need to be kind. Chaplin was the first one. You... every film that ever had a message about what's right in the world, the human condition and about politics, the first person to do it on a global scale was Charlie Chaplin. And so that was a little homage, I think, a little tip of the cap of him sitting there with this crisis of conscience of, do I just stick to the status quo and do what the mass wants me to do and what the people in power want me to do for the sake of money or am I going to be true to myself as who I am inside, particularly don't miss the messaging of being true to who you are as an artist and what we can do to even change amongst people. It's the current dilemma of what's going on with the strikes and with the AMPTP and even with everybody jumping up and down about the box office of Jawan and being blind to its lack of artistic excellence. No, I'm not going to calm down. No, I'm saying this is not about Jawan. It is for me and I'm going to talk about it as long as I want to. So don't tell me to calm down. Thank you. I'm going to write at home about everything that's important and being brave and saying what you really feel even if people are going to hate you for it. And one of the things I was surprised about is that they didn't actually go too far into the love angle of the film. Yeah. I thought at the beginning they were going to. He did have a love interest and there was that but normally in Indian films even though there was, I think was there a love song? Yeah, there was. When he realized she was agreeing to the narrative of his story that was going on where the hero and the girl are falling in love with each other and he started doing his little dance on the roof there was a montage right there. But then they usually go more into that and that's part of the story. And you don't know if they kind of ended up together at all. No, but you like that. No, I do. Yes. Me too. No, I like that because it was it caught me off guard as most a couple things in this caught me off guard that I wasn't expecting to happen. It was just enough. The primary purpose for her character in that isn't the stereotypical we've got the love interest and we're going to have a love song and we're going to do something mushy and it's going to have no justification. She was very much like his mom and even his sister and the voice in his head of being the combative voices that are calling out his best self. That's the purpose she served and it evidenced the quality of the writing that they didn't go to just the stereotype of what the audience is going to expect in a love story. The purpose of their relationship was to stir up inside of him the hero. And there's multiple things in this that I obviously we noted specifically at the beginning but the score of this was real nice in terms of it was incredibly one quirky at times. Different things to add to the emotion of the story or add to the feel of the film so the composer is If it's mispronounced please forgive Barat Sankar. I really enjoyed it. Me too. So fitting. Two full songs I think in terms of. There's one dance song. And it too they had a justification for it. It was the celebration of moving into the place. There wasn't just an item number. Then I thought all the cinematography by Vidhu Yeah. Vidhu Ayana was real nice. I enjoyed a lot of it. There was probably only a couple flaws in terms of some of the CGI of like the building but those were small. And I'm sure they just didn't have enough money to do what they wanted to do. Correct. I'd imagine. And I love the fact that the trailer didn't actually give away because you thought it was going to be like it kind of almost gave you the impression that it was going to be a normal superhero origin story. And it is a superhero origin story for sure. But not the typical one of like this is what it actually this is what it's about and this is what he does in terms of the voice and stuff. It didn't. And again we mentioned it when it happened. I mean the genius of the sky crying and the tear hitting the ink of his own writing that goes into his ear it becomes the voice. The internal voice is his own highest best creative self. Do you think it was his dad? No I don't. You think it was just him? I think it was his best creative highest self in connection with really I do believe there's a supernatural aspect to that and that it's in sync with the voice of his creator. I'm wondering because the reason I think it might have something to do with his dad I don't know for sure is because then he started to listen to himself. Yes. So that's why it led me to believe that that voice is not himself per se it was trying to it was either his dad helping or somebody helping him to find his inner self voice. Well again which was why he didn't like it showed a clear moment where he stopped listening to that voice and started listening to his own voice. Could be. And that's a question that I would love to give. This has I love there's this really cool thing that is done of it's not a Q&A as much as it is just reading what people have written to him and answering the questions for Get Out and all of the yeah for Jordan Peel and it's a video of him answering questions and a lot of the times people get it right and some other times they'll say something and he says wow that's actually brilliant I didn't even intend that it's cool you saw that so I'd love to know because they again gave us enough about his dad to make you wonder and I see how you could walk away with both are very positive reinforcements as to what you just said I think yeah that dad but just is it his dad because they didn't give a lot away about that they didn't except that he was brave and I think he died because of it he died for believing in something and standing up for something I think that they said that right yeah so when he smiles is he smiling just before the building collapses is he smiling because he's looking up to God is he smiling because he's looking up to his dad is it both just yeah exactly could be just VJ in the clouds so yeah I just I don't have enough accolades to shower on this film and it's and the performances I mean the mom just we haven't yeah she was great I really enjoyed her actors if you want to you know there was no wiping away of tears that weren't there everything was legit justified genuine I believe this was a real family I believe the relationships I believe they cared every moment she was on screen I was engaged and loving her work Yogi Babu was Yogi Babu Yogi Babu was always good always good and the we have never seen anything of his except that I know that he is in this film called doctor I think he's a lead in it we've seen stuff from it okay and it's directed by Nelson who directed jailer yes and a lot of people I think it's a dark comedy kind of thing so you guys can tell us if that's if it's similar did I see him credited where's I saw beast in there somewhere yes he's in beast he's in beast wonderful but which I loved him in this which I guess would be the only thing I don't even know if we got to him I've told you guys this before we saw beast but we walked out of beast yeah and I've since heard that no one else liked beast at all as well but that's it goes to show you that just because we didn't like one director's work doesn't mean we won't like his before because he also beast director is in case you didn't know the director of jailer yeah which is Nelson I know not there's very few directors that always hit it out of the park yeah yeah very so apparently he was in I don't even know if we got to see him in that yeah I don't remember about that outside of we didn't enjoy anything about it exactly I think we got to about 30 minutes of that film yeah but he had apparently directed the the film doctor which I have heard a lot about that it's good yeah yeah so you guys can let us know obviously what his next work yeah would be love the director as a writer what is as is there a lot of work with this particular writer director with them to and no in general let me see here if there's stuff I recognize of his director six total titles there's a short there's a video so this is his second film my stars first being Mandela Mandela oh yoga you'll give a boo is right in the picture I don't recognize that so you guys go out we'll have to let us know I impressive second film impressive by the director from your second film wow it just happens a lot in any in some way you know just well you there's a lot of people that get feature film debuts right but debut yeah but the the amount of stellar first or second films is granted you get a lot of experience while you're working on other things as an ad or you're doing whatever right so it's not like most directors don't just step on a set and know how to do what they do but to helm something for the first time and that you've written to be this good is really really really impressive really really impressive yeah that was real nice anyways I hope you enjoyed that watch along of us for mandavan ow if you saw this on youtube obviously he's all very cut up version of for each three parts is true if you'd like to see the full uncut version no you can head over to patreon you can see this full uncut reaction and other watch alongs that we've done in the past let us know what the next films by the director and the star and what should be our next damel watch along please let us know down below and onto the next watch along
