 This is part three of our watch on to master with VJ and VJ. If you're watching this on YouTube, obviously you can see a very, very cut of version, obviously, because copyrights. 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 below and the pinned comment, so you can go check those out. And at the end of this part, we will talk about the film at the end and you will have a review. So, let's just get into this. Here comes Captain Jack again. He's very similar. Here comes Captain Jack again. He's very similar. Oh, that was his idea. Or Lokesh's idea. Great. You're gonna have to kill him. Here it comes. The showdown. Is he gonna tell him, you kill me, the boys die? Maybe. It's always a meat locker. Hey! Who needs Hawkeye? Exactly. The strength of ten men. There's a mass moment right here. He's gonna shoot a few at the same time. I'm sober now. Everything's got style. See it. When Black didn't win, we'll see it. He'll be in the trouble. Who do you think you are? He's shooting a few minutes ago. One last wipe of the inside of the shirt. He had his bracelet around his knuckles, I bet. I'd entertain. I feel like he's gonna end up on a meat hook. I was just gonna say, hang in just like the boys you hung. It's Titanic. Wait, is that Lokesh? I think that's the director. I think that's Lokesh. Cool. Sorry, I just... Little cameo. From that... What'd you think? I enjoyed every minute of it. Mass with Class was the great description. Yeah, it is. Yeah. It is a really good description. I really, really enjoyed it. It's had enough... One, it has Lokesh. So that's why filming, I think, is such a great medium, and it's a director's medium. Yep. Fully, fully a director's medium. And not to say the other parts aren't very important. Writing, obviously, is as important. But directing, when you have a really good director, it can cover up a lot of other things. Yep. Because if they have every... Even if they're making a film like this that has a lot of mass moments in terms of stuff that is like, oh yeah, that would normally, if this was in a different film, strain credulity for lack of a better term. It didn't go as far as I thought it would though, actually. That's I think what a lot of people said this might be a good introduction for us. It didn't go so far over the rails that you're just... Okay, whatever. At all. But the director kind of keeps it in the realm and also having great cinematography. Ani's incredible music behind it all. Music behind it all. I mean, you need good actors because you could have all of that could be great, but if all of the actors are bad... Yeah. And everybody in this was including the kids. Everybody was solid. Yeah. She was great. What did you think about Thotapathy? She thought it's about Thotta. This is our first introduction to Thotapathy. Outside of all the songs that we've seen. Yeah, I just... The most important moment. I mean, I knew we were going to get the superstar, the style, the fighting. Yeah. I was expecting that. Yeah. He actually had some really good moments. Yeah, I really appreciated the grounded moments, particularly the most critical. I mean, his character hasn't cried. Mm-hmm. So when he finally does cry, if you don't believe he's crying, that's a giant mistake. Exactly. And it was... That scene was not only well done by him, but like I had said when it happened, the little boy they got to do that sounded so honest and so sincere. Yeah. My suspicion, like I said too, he probably didn't have anything other than his own inner monologue going on at the time. Lokesh giving him the time to get where he needed to get emotionally. I believed it. It was really good. Yeah. I'd recommend the movie. Yeah. And I think it's... Obviously he has a lot of movies been around a while, but I think a lot of people said this one specifically because it had a lot more groundedness. Right. That we are normally used to to get introduced, because we've been doing this channel for four years now. This will be the first time in terms of a film where you've sat through a full film of VJs. Yeah. And I guess it's... People want us to get kind of a taste because I'm sure there's ones that obviously he goes even farther and fledged into. Yeah. And does he kind of... Did he kind of take over where Rajnikanth like left off and kind of like... I really get that feeling. I was going to say that where it feels like the baton was handed. Even though not the... Stylistically, though we know so, so little obviously. It just felt like that. It felt like that. Yeah. But like the stuff he did with the glasses. Yeah. So many slick style moves that I think were... Which I think it's... Started by Rajnikanth. Yeah. In terms of... If this was... Like I said, in any other film, you were like, why are you doing these little shticks? But in this style of film, it kind of like adds to the... I feel like the enjoyment. 100%. Especially if you had an audience with it. Yeah. Who knows those things. And like they're just going ape shit. Yes. Like he does this and everybody's like, oh, I know what's coming. Yeah. And then he kicks ass. It was like back in the day when you finally got to the third Rambo. The stories were falling apart, but what you were wanting to see was Rambo with his shirt off, holding a gun that you can't hold. Just going... But the plot in this did help it drive along as well. Great story. You had a story that you... Yeah. And you know... There was a... This wasn't just action for action's sake. There was a legitimate story with... There were no loose ends. There were some really nice things that were brought to and through. It didn't get distracted. It didn't get bogged down. Yeah. And I think that's a lot of... Obviously, Lokesh is a fantastic writer and director. I think he writes everything he directs. And he also says... I don't know if it was serious that he might end after 10 films. Hmm. After he does. Very Quintin. Very Quintin, right? I also would like to know, is this typical... What I'm about to say is it typical for him in terms of... Lokesh or VJ? VJ. Of being in this... In this role, he's what I would call a tender warrior. Where he's empathetic. He's caring. He loves children. But he's also badass. Is that a hallmark of his characters? I... I don't know. You guys will have to let us know. I assume... I assume it is. And there's like a deep message of... And there's justice really deep down inside of him. He's given all these messaging. The importance of elections and politics and how there's corruption. Yeah, no corruption. Somebody should come up from... Right and wrong. I assume... And that might be why a lot of people like... He's such a beloved actor because he has these mass moments but he also has... And I don't know maybe those would be included in the mass moments of like a collective unity as a people overthrowing corruption. Right. I'd assume. And there was like other mass moments of like now he's a perfect archer and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. And I feel like it's also a testament to Locash who wrote it and directed it. Obviously I don't think anything happened that wasn't, you know, thumbed up by VJ. I think it's very, very culturally resonant with everybody from this part of India. Yeah. I wonder what... In ways that we can't even understand. Exactly. I wonder what moments that... Since... You guys could tell me if this was wrong but I've heard it from a few people like this was like a 50% VJ, a 50% Locash film and I've heard that Leo is going to be 100% Locash in terms of it's going to be Vikram, it's going to be Kythie. Right. And so I wonder what those moments were that they... Was it like the... But there was mass moments in Kythie and Vikram as well though. I'm guessing maybe it was... My loss. VJ saying to Locash, oh man another night shoot? Yeah. And Locash saying, but it looks so good. It does. Because we've seen three Locash films, right? Kythie, Vikram, Kythie and now this. Now this. I like them all. I really do. This would probably be my least favorite but I would definitely watch it again. It's just because I think Kythie is so good and there were points and I think Kythie is only like in less than two hours as well. Yeah and it sucks to say that though because I would agree with you but I really liked it. I know those are... And also they're the same universe and I don't even know if you can compare that way. Yeah. But I'm not saying like I did. I really enjoyed this film. I did too. I would watch it again. I would recommend it and I would watch it again. That's just... It's a lot of fun. Thinking about Locash, he's made three really good films. Really good films. And so one has to be at the bottom and this one there were moments that I would say dragged slightly. Not a ton. There wasn't a ton of like that. I wasn't engaged fully. But it's a three hour movie. So it's hard to... It's a long movie, right? But like I really enjoyed this movie and I would watch it again. I would recommend it. I think a lot of people could really enjoy this movie. I really enjoyed VJ, the other VJ and this Sadapathi. There's something that he... And I expect a great performance from VJ. Sadapathi, right? Like I've always... I've seen enough from him that I'm like, you are on another level that I expect certain things from you. Right. And so... And I think he would expect... I want to know... I want to know who made the decision for the warrants. Yeah, that's great, right? I want to know who did that. But he has such a unique quality about him that the thing that... So he has an intimidating person. Like he's intimidating look. Yeah. But he also understands it's more about the stillness in the intimidation than the... Like you don't often see him yelling in most of his roles where he's being intimidating. He's a lot more of the whisper intimidator. He's very in that regard. For those of you who know the actor I'm about to reference, Pacino's early work was very much that way. Everything was driven by the eyes and everything was... The intensity got more... The more quiet he got. The very similar screen intensity that I get from him. Yeah. And he is in... Jawan. He is awesome. Which will be a lot of fun. Can't wait. And he's gonna have another one come out. Merry Christmas. Yeah. I don't know what the film is about, but I'm super looking forward to it. Me too. We'll see what that's about. But yeah, I really enjoyed him. Everybody in this, I thought that actually a really good job. Yeah. It's kind of similar to... Kythian Vikram is just... It is. We have a good director that knows how to direct actors. Even if there are these moments that are mass is what I would call them. Yeah. And I think... I don't know because I think one of my favorite things that was the most unexpected for me was the... How many things in this had a sense of importance about them? That's the mass with class. It was, we're gonna do a mass entertainer. You're gonna get your action, the style and everything you expect. But we're also... We're gonna tell a story here that has some important messaging in it about right and wrong, about using people, corruption. It's got a lot of heart. Yeah, and I could have actually even used a little more mass at times. It wouldn't have bothered me. No, no, no. But I loved, I loved. I thought it was pretty balanced. Yeah. Yeah. I liked it a lot. We did it all the time. The film is a director's medium. I mean, the most important thing might be the writers in terms of just that because you can't have a director without writing, but also he is the writer-director, so it's kind of goes well with the hand. Yeah, number one, number one, we talk about the directors all the time, but you don't have a film without a writer. But it is a director's medium. Yeah, the medium itself, once you've got that script, and writers will tell you this, don't we know they're the ones in control? Because a lot of writers' projects don't turn out the way they wrote them. That's why a lot of... Because the director said, I want this. That's why there's a lot of writer-directors. Exactly. Because then they've got the control. And even then, you can get writer-director producers. Yes. Because the producer can say, don't want it. I'm the one writing the paychecks. Yeah. So it's going to be super fun, I think, for Leo. I'm glad we got to something soon. I am too. So I can be familiar with... Outside of his great dancing and his fight scenes that we've seen. Now we've seen a full film. We know what his caliber of talent is, and having Lokesh, the exact same director, at the helm is... Exciting. He also... There's a... He has films... The director of Jawaan, Atlee, has multiple films with Vijay as well. We have so much to see. Yeah. There's a lot that we... So much to see that's been made and so much that's about to come out. Exactly. My goodness. So yeah, we've had so much to watch along. We enjoyed it. I'm glad we finally got to something Vijay and a lot of you've been waiting a long time. But I hope you enjoyed it. Because we did. Anyways, if you watch this on YouTube, obviously you saw a very cut up version of our reaction. If you'd like to see the full uncut version and other things we've reacted to. From the Tamil industry, like we just did the Dhanush rom-com that I can't pronounce. Right. And many other films. So if you'd like to see... One other thing, people have been asking us a lot.
