 Well Really good series from France a couple years old called Marianne, okay, that's a scary scary series That's what we're reviewing one moment of occultic stuff that we fast-forwarded through because I don't want to see people using wedgie boards But other than that it was really really good So bye everybody. That's all we wanted to say today Go watch Marianne on Netflix We watch something that you guys wanted us to watch So funny somebody on it like everything right now. I'm sure you've seen whoever it is. It's doing this It's like this is my third request. Yeah, and I just throw my head back and Because Those we've been around a while you throw your head back and laugh. Yeah, I mean we get to quite a few But yes, this one is in a requested Almost as long as but who Bali too was oh, yeah This is one of the most Unknown films in Bollywood history very few people know about this film. Yes, especially the music Yeah songs and and the stars not very very many people in it unknown people and unknown director Ah, it flew under the radar in the big festival circuit a lot of years Hopefully this review will bring greater attention to it We watch G3G or Khabi Khabi They guys that's the only reason I know how to say that it's because of now a lot of G She sang it which she sang it as far as the title is concerned What well because it means this isn't gonna be exact I forgot the exact thing It's like sometimes things are happy sometimes things are sad. Yeah, and I guess it's true Sometimes things are happy sometimes things are seven movie But yeah, I think there could have been a better title for it. I like K3G I actually started looking for K3G and couldn't find K3G Because I was looking for just K3G. That's how stupid I was Anyways, but it's directed and written by Karan Johar produced by Yash Johar Yash Johar. Yeah, I was gonna say Chopra, but it's a different one I think I'm guessing that's his father. I can't imagine it's not Nepotism? You know if I'd known that before probably wouldn't have watched it. Anyways, starring a few people I'm talking Bakchun, Jaya Bakchun, Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Rithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, Johnny Lever and then a whole bunch of other cast as well, but Yeah It's gonna be a spoiler for you because I think you've all seen it I think I think and if you haven't if you have four hours Go watch it come back real quick real quick rick your initial thoughts, please the greatest movie ever made bar none just kidding Actually didn't dislike it as I thought I might based on what people had had said it actually had There were a couple of like touching moments I was never invested in any of the characters to the extent that I cared enough to but like There were some really nice emotional availability things from everybody in the cast I made myself appreciate How awful things were some of it we knew in advance. Yeah, uh, I like ddlj better I wouldn't watch it again But I thought you liked kuch kuch better than ddlj Yes, and I like that even better than that. Yeah, so all that to say this wasn't As bad as I thought it was going to be going in. Yeah, so that was nice and but Man isn't long. Oh, yeah, it's definitely long It's it's a long drive home. You know what this movie's like. It's like driving from san antonio to el paso It's really really long really really long and there's not much to look at Yeah, but you're glad you made the trip because you have somewhere you want to get I disagree. I really enjoyed this film good for you. Yeah No, uh more than I enjoyed ddlj. Really? Okay. I want to know why One I was expecting like you way worse way worse Oh, I have something else I want to say about the indian element which we'll get to And how important that is basically, um, I was expecting All the worst cringe parts of ddlj and and and kuch kuch hold the high Throughout this film. I was expecting it to be the poo sequences that we saw and the Hey bomb take a chill pill all the way. Yeah, and it wasn't it wasn't maybe it was just my expectations were insanely low Uh, but it was yes a hundred percent. It's way too long. It's it's yeah, it's it's way too long It's like going to get a cleaning and it turning into a root canal. Yes way too long way too long But uh overall I I I think it was less cringy than than uh kuch kuch hold the high and ddlj And and so then also I I ended up I actually did I I don't know. Maybe if I didn't care for the character more I'm I'm in love with all these actors. That's that's the point. I want to make that that might be the Like because here's the thing. Okay, we'll get into this now. I enjoyed this. All right, um kujol, right love kujol um She had a bunch of way over the top Moments in this she was she was smoking cocaine. Yeah. Yeah somebody like one of the group because they knew I was watching it and they were like, uh, how do you what do you think of kujol? I'm like I love her too much to care right? It's like I see it I see what you're talking about and like there was there was a lot of times where you know She was just like kind of the bubbly at the beginning of kuch kuch hold I A lot of times not all the times like I think every single actor in this had moments of Like over the top correct even big b. Yeah shocker. Um, Except for jaya baksha. Uh, I thought jaya was yeah, I thought jaya. She was probably grounded the whole time Yeah, the entire time And so overall I think it's just it's one of those and even though I watched it in three parts This was like, there's no way I'm gonna. I did not watch it in one sitting There's no way I'm gonna sit down and watch a three and a half hour film Um, one that some of that is leader and there was a sleep and I could have probably watched it Maybe in two But I I I pushed it out to three but it's one of those that's I I enjoyed the story in terms of like the watching these characters Obviously amazing songs that we reacted to every single one of them Um, and there was some really touching moments Throughout even though I questioned big b's parenting methods quite a bit and his husband dream. Yes But um overall I think a lot I've enjoyed all the songs except for The that one that was when you Rithik and poo were introduced to each other and that song and we were like And I wasn't really feeling that thing you want to react to it Right, I still wasn't really feeling that song me too. I enjoyed you know my son Yeah, way more in the context of the film. I did even though it still makes no sense Obviously, so there's big club number I know but you know, that's what this film was and so it was I think it was just a fun entertaining enjoyable Film that is way too long. Yeah, and I I have there's two elements of it first of all the Enjoyability factor and you mentioned it a second ago for me for I think everybody is Knowing and okay running with courage all all of these actors. I was going to go down the list of them We just did that We deeply care about and love these actors as artists and people we've become really attached to them and care about them So seeing them interacting and doing what they're doing It has a level of Enjoyability for us because we know them and have seen their work and we care about them I think for someone who doesn't know these people from adam I believe if an american for example saw this as their first indian film It would reaffirm everything they've ever thought about mollywood and they wouldn't want to watch another indian film Probably the most indian film and that's the other aspect is but this is something I love about it that I think if someone Went in to see it. I would encourage them to get to know these people first Get to know this. I'm glad you waited me too stupid babies. Thank you for Taking us and guiding us because we needed to wait to see this but the other the other element is This is such an indian film in terms of What family means? Yeah to them How parents are how parents are they have for the parents and the living together aspect of family that sense of and I'm actually It's funny. I'm really starting to see and embrace this because I'm I don't you guys may not know this But I have been since june. I'm actually not only my mom reconnected relationally, but I'm actually living with my mom right now and That has been a blessing because I haven't lived with either of my parents my entire adulthood And this was something we intentionally did for a lot of reasons not the least of which being the connection and when they mention There's a moment where uh srk is talking to kajal and saying Both of them are saying missing the warmth of an elder. I think rithic says it too in the home And that's not an american value at all And it's sad because I I personally think It's a great value unless it's like a mexican american family right from another culture. Yeah from another culture but like the like My mom and her husband dale they went away for the weekend and I was there by myself and I actually missed the presence of having Them in the place and I absolutely can see That moment when letterman asked ashwari arrived Wow, you live with your mother-in-law. She's like, yeah And that is I think something For indians, especially this touches a place that's so deep and important and personal for them That if somebody didn't even know that like the I would never in a million years suggest this to someone who doesn't know India culture they're not already invested in bollywood. Yeah, yeah And indian culture to know the depth of what it means to live with family. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, so this one is like I said, uh, I would I would actually watch this again Like if it was on No, I don't think may I might be able to get full through if it's just on in the background If it was on I would absolutely watch it. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it and I wouldn't recommend it Yeah to anybody. Um, oh, like I said, unless they're already invested in indian culture Um, like, you know how I've introduced zack to a bunch of stuff One I think you could probably appreciate this even more than we could because he tolerated twilight back in the day Oh He can twirl away He could twirl away No more fun is him. He could he can he has now admitted. He was like, I was in love with a girl who loved twilight He could watch he could watch boyhood But yeah for most for the most part I would make sure that they're already invested and in one this is a huge part of bollywood history Masses if you love the the people you you probably like the film not really their performances for the most part Even though I will talk about their performances one. I love cajole. This is probably her She was so endearing the entire time to me I don't know if it was delighting the makeup or what she just looked She won it looked incredible, but let's add a controversy to this. I was talking to ronnie about this Because I said to her and some of you may disagree and you may disagree So this is the at least the second film. We've seen where srk has had no interest in ronnie mccurgey And preferred cajole now I love cajole. Also, they all have like the same name. She's I know. She's adorable I think she's wonderful. That's not an easy thing to do, but Ronnie mccurgey is not just a throwaway that is like you like me and I'm just not that interested again It's really hard to believe that someone would look at ronnie mccurgey and go I don't think he did that. I think he's just I love cajole and also they have like A shit ton of films together where they actually get together I want to see one of those Viers are I don't know if they get together, but I know they're in that one. Yeah, but cajole You know, she had her big bubbly moments just like she didn't coach control die But There was moments the most emotional moments I felt were with her Obviously, I never I do have a favorite moment though. That's it's not her though. It's not her. Yeah, no when Both moments because obviously she deeply cared about getting the father's blessing And so oh, yeah, both times when it was in the mall and at the very end when she was actually finally able to take the blessing from Big right, right, right, even though she shouldn't have because he was a dick We'll talk about that. Um, but it was I thought that was probably one of the best moments of the film I I really enjoyed I I appreciated everybody's everyone's emotional availability was believable That was the most shocking thing for me for something I thought was going to be cheesy and stupid throughout Shocker. I was surprised who had some good scenes. Yeah, I was surprised Everybody was believable with their emotion. I didn't see force crying There was one moment of like for many of them Pouring tears and snot. Yeah, and my favorite moment. I really enjoyed it. I like the way current johar Shot it was the moment with big b and s r k just profile with each other When he finally gives in and he says but you don't love me He's how you should know better than to know that because I said the gas lighting moment the gas lighting moment And but I love that moment because they were both That was a great pair. It was a great scene because I talked about it. Well big b I thought he did a good job of making one either lovable slash By his actions hateable character big b does whatever he did. Yeah, but he even had some moments I'm pretty sure it's because of kiran johar or what he wanted from him and because that's just his style But he he thunder. Yeah, there was and but he didn't use music for accent. He used god and nature He even had some over-the-top moments very few but he had some over-the-top moments But that scene with him and s r k at the end. He showed why he's one of the Legend he was beautiful knock that scene out of the park and so did s r k I thought s r k did a really good job in that scene as well S r k I thought it was actually more subdued in this one for the most part than the other part for the most part It's still a kiran johar almost 90s shamo con. Yeah, it's weird because I would say if someone asked What do you think is the weirder of the of the of the blood and keep going back to ddlj and and this right? Without kuch kuch that that's that's also there, but of those two I thought k3g was going to be the weirder of them and I actually think ddlj is the weirder Yeah, in terms of his performance. Yeah, actually, but I I actually like the like the weirdness of that and salman con going Hey great basketball. I that stuff for me. I enjoyed that quirky weirdness. It's not that I disliked That was kuch kuch. Am I missing them all up? Oh, anyway This one I didn't dislike this one, but it was a one and done for me It was oh, I get it. I'm glad I saw it. It's one of those things where like I said I I see why Indians love this film. I absolutely I can also see why some Indians hate this film Sure, because it's a very polarizing film Yep, if you if you're not either in the mood if you don't like these people if you if you don't like this style If you can't appreciate it if you can't handle the simultaneous talking and the quintessential for me is the mom Take a tube. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about poo though I loved poo. Uh, I love to obviously we saw her big corkiest moment. I feel like in the introduction scene Yeah, that was but she surprised me often in terms especially toward the end like with her scenes with rithic she Obviously we've seen her before and she's a good actor Yeah, but that's no I wasn't attracting you from poo because I was like, oh, I've been told you're not ready for poo Right. I thought poo was just gonna be ridiculous throughout. Yeah, and she wasn't I thought she did like this film It could have almost been two parts the corki parts and Yeah, really good and still been a long time for each kiss here's something that I just just doesn't make any sense at all so Did they not care did they not think about the fact that the kid is going to play rithic When he was younger should have green eyes. Did that hurt anybody out there? Hello Also the fact that uh, it was a 10 years fan and rithing now looks 30 30 and everyone else hasn't aged It's one of those things you just Kind of like, you know in coach coach where you just accepted it because it's It's kiren johar like they look the exact same like they were in high school and then they when they're older They look the exact same um, and then the uh, some of the other fun moments, um one rithic always off to the side crying Like there's if there was a scene sha Rook in control or something rithic would come from the behind He was crying crying and looking Crying and looking and then those moments of yes, we should talk to father We should talk to father srk looks at him You should talk to your father Wonder why he made that face I loved it. It was so it was so weird and endearing. Um, but yeah that one of my favorite lines I think I texted it to you. It was sort of oh, yeah. Yeah. I loved it. You did shower cons He's he's comes from behind him control and he says oh, yeah, I'm gonna take over your sweet meat shop He sent me a text of that screenshot. He said this is getting spicy Oh, I loved it. Yeah, I loved it. Um, but uh, let's see, uh, who didn't I talk about? Oh, uh, I want to talk about jaya bachchan. She was I think the strongest actor in the entire thing I would agree with you. Uh, she never had any moments like the the rest of them No, it really felt like it felt like she approached this like a like Thespianatic legit grounded character, but also she didn't have the same things written for her that some of the other actors That's true. So my moments were pretty much she was kind of the heart of the film. Obviously big b Let's talk about that. Uh, big b, you know being the asshole that he is, you know sending his kid off telling you I don't love you. You're not my child. You're adopted go away, right? And then 10 years later saying Why did you believe that? Yeah, why like why do you should know better than to believe that? Where have you been? It's your why didn't it's your fault in charlotte consul? It you're right. It's my fault Don't gaslight your children. It's a hundred percent your fault big b also great scene jaya bachchan calling him out Yeah, and she was like you were wrong and then she was like and I said it. Yeah I love that moment great moment Making big b eat his own words, but yeah, the whole gaslighting part was like No, what are you? What are you even saying right now? That's a hundred percent your fault, right? You idiot. Yeah But it obviously I think one of the reasons indians can relate to this I feel like a lot of people are like, yeah, that's dads are kind of absolutely not exactly like that But they're like that style. They're very I can't tough punishment kind of and I can't I can't imagine How many indians have faced so many of these they can empathize with so many things in this from Uh, parents disowning you because you're making choices that don't align with the choices they wanted for you Uh, missing a loved one whether it was because they chose to not be with you Or maybe they passed away and you're somewhere and you don't feel the warmth of family that you used to because family Is so important to to indians So I I imagine that that's like the the heartbeat of this for everybody is I thought this was going to be about the quirkiness. Yeah, and to my surprise. I felt like actually this is Got quite a bit of heart. Yeah, this is a lot more. It was a lot more Dramatic Family feel than I still like I like if all three of those were on This is the one I would choose third Of the three we've just talked about. No, I would shoot. Yeah, I would probably I mean outside of the length It is really long even though those other ones. I think are three hours. I think right. Yeah, but this one's almost like like gone Yeah, this is three and a half hours Uh, total, um, and I'm sure there's a bunch on the editing room floor as well Probably so, um Like I said, uh, I don't know if we mentioned all the songs Outside of that one. I've really really enjoyed it. I think we wrecked it to most of them. I think we saw virtually everyone I enjoyed them As much if not more in the context. Yeah, the fact that I'm gonna talk about time just starts dancing It's one of it's like it's literally like a Hollywood musical. Yeah, like there's song numbers that just start out of nowhere Yes, um, but they're big They're fun, um, and then And in case you're wondering I didn't see Because I mentioned this on a reaction But I I had previously was in a bad headspace when I first saw the uh, you were my sonia song Yeah, went back and saw it again was going to post it on my channel a long story short It was blocked blah blah blah. So seeing it the third time. I had the same reaction. I did the second time Yeah, it was like most everything else in the in the thing and also I mean Was what was this in terms of was this the thing that catapulted rific? Or am I forgetting another film as far as like everybody realizing Wow, this guy can really dance Uh, oh in terms of dancing. Yeah. Oh, I don't dancing aspect. I know he did a few films before this Well, I don't know how much he danced In them well, we reacted to I think his debut film and he was he was it was a musical number in that one Because I think it was directed by his father. Okay Well, he just proved again. What a what a great person he is. Yeah, he's he's absolutely incredible some of the score Uh, like the thunder Adored that it was it was all extremely over the top melodramatic, but like different than like dev dost melodramatic. It was like Weird corky so over the top dramatic. Yeah, as opposed to the soap opera style Yeah, it's the difference of we're doing this because we think it's really going to make a really dramatic point because it's not Versus we're going to make this as big of a dramatic point as we can. I mean, this is the heavens are thundering Yeah, it's it worked. Yeah. Um, and then there was one thing Let me say one other thing and I forgot what it was baby acting. No, he was good about the three you would choose No, no Codlock. Oh, no the uh, yeah. No, uh, the fact that they just inserted the indian national anthem Oh, if you want to make if you want to make indians feel insert the national anthem and make white people stand up Like let's glad you brought that up. It just it was it was so incongruent I didn't I didn't know it was gonna be the national anthem But I was like no, they're gonna do some indian song, right? You know, I was like national anthem. I'm like, oh, and then they obviously also I can guarantee everybody in the theater Stood up and immediately when that happened Um, and so I was like that just adds to the Indianness of this film. Yes the fact that they just inserted a national anthem song in the middle of it Yeah, so it's it's one of those that I I'm glad we finally got to it because it's a huge part of bollywood history Yeah, it is and now that like we can be in on some of the the inside inside scoops and jokes and and and all that kind of stuff I'm I'm I'm actually much more interested in karina capore now Even though obviously this is her crowning performance by any means. I'm not saying that But uh, I I already cared for everybody else and she was the one that that wasn't on the level Not in terms of acting but in terms of my love for her We had just hadn't seen hadn't seen enough her and that's the other thing about it being something in bollywood history I think it's also something that if you love any of these people Go down the list. I'm gonna talk about John Jay about John Shah Rukh Khan Kajol Rithik Roshan Karina Kapoor You Karin Johar This is part of the Legacy of their resume that is kind of like you need to know this film if you care about these people and if you don't You kind of need to see that film. It's like a quintessential Hallmark watershed moment for a lot of them. So I'm I'm really glad we said so what should be the next Shah Rukh Khan Kajol Big B Shah Rukh I want to see an SRK Uh, Ronnie McCurgy where Ronnie's actually the love interest. I don't know if she's the love interest, but Virzara Where's the one I want the movie. So he's over SRK Kajol. Okay, no, no I want to we had we have seven of theirs to get to right Technically they've been in 12, but seven that they're the leads. Okay. I want them all Yeah, but yeah, I know Virzara is high up there for a lot of people in terms of it's a it's a big romantic film He's what it is, but I don't know if they end up together So because I haven't seen that's that's that's I just want to see her as his love interest Yeah, rather than her having unrequited feelings for him. Yeah. Yeah Let us know have we already seen one. Is there a love story with Ronnie McCurgy and Kajol Get on it. Bollywood lesbian version of broke back mountain It would work I was trying to think of a title
