1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Hi, I'm Shorrop Dash, also known as my stage name is Kili.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:19,000
And I'm learning ballet, hip hop, freestyle, and contemporary.

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Yeah.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Like, I think it will take me two weeks and I can win.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Is this your test? Are you testing the mic?

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Yeah, I'm testing my mood as well.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
No, yeah, I'm just testing my...Nicky says something in the mic.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Mooding.

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
In the awale. I don't know the lyrics so I just keep saying it.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Yeah, that's enough.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Hi, I'm Winnie. Well, you didn't test Winnie's, dude.

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
You have to like raise your...

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
I'm Winnie. I have the perfect podcast voice.

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Is this recording it? Are the levels good?

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Yeah.

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
And have we done mine yet?

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
No.

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:24,000
See, then we're not done testing, are we? Hello.

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Welcome to Fear of Stairs, Desi Films decoded.

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
The podcast where four friends from different backgrounds unlock the world of Desi's cinema.

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
I'm Winnie, the Desi who's never been to India.

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Hi, I'm Sourav, also known as Kili.

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Yeah, and I watched a film this time.

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Yeah.

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Nicky, a very festive person.

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
And I'm Adam. I'm the Western Film buff.

27
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And this week I learned that Happy New Year starts in October, I guess, for Indian movies.

28
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It's the first time this movie has affected us emotionally and maybe even physically.

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
I think I physically rose from my chair watching it a few times and Kili was like on his knees on the ground.

30
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Yeah, I fell down after so far.

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Couple of times.

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Couldn't, yeah.

33
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
I will say this is, so this is the first movie I've ever been like totally tricked by.

34
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Like, we were talking, it kind of like did SEO jacking before that was a thing.

35
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
This movie came out in 2014, right?

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Yeah.

37
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
It's called Happy New Year.

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:46,000
And actually, so we should explain the reason we picked this film is because it's going to come out the first week of next year, right?

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Or of 2020, what year?

40
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
2026.

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
2025.

42
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Oh, Adam's living in the future.

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Oh, I'm losing it.

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
So it's going to come out the first week of 2025.

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:04,000
So we wanted to pick a movie for that and this was the first time I ever saw something that was just so misleading straight from the title, but we'll get into that.

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Have you actually seen this movie before?

47
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
I think so.

48
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
I remember some scenes from the film.

49
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Kili is really quick to throw out.

50
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Like, I've seen this already and then immediately during the movie was what happens next?

51
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
What happens next?

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
What's going on?

53
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
I think that was, I think this was your first experience probably.

54
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
No, I remember some scenes.

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I don't know how.

56
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I think I watched this.

57
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
You think?

58
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
You were so confident that you didn't like the movie, but you're not confident you watched this.

59
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
He was so adamant that we never watched it and he was like, I have seen it before.

60
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I am authority on this.

61
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
There are so many Bollywood films you don't have to watch to keep the verdict that it's a bad film.

62
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Oh, you're judging a book by its cover.

63
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:56,000
It's a certain kind of film, it has certain kind of dialogues, you see the trailer and you are damn sure that it's a bad film because it comes from Bollywood.

64
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
You have not seen the movie though.

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
You did lie to say you saw it.

66
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I think I saw it.

67
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
You did see it.

68
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
So you finally saw it with us.

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
You had the time of your life, Winnie, as the person that picked this movie from a Google search.

70
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
What happened and what were your thoughts?

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Well, I think I watched the first hour with you guys and I was miserable.

72
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
What the fuck is this?

73
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,000
And then I fell asleep at some point and I decided to just go home and sleep.

74
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
So I actually have not watched this movie.

75
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So when you took the film, we all watched it.

76
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Killie had a change of heart and Winnie ultimately was the one that didn't like it at all.

77
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
It was really dumb.

78
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
I'm glad that you guys enjoyed it though.

79
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,000
I enjoyed it in the worst way possible. It's just the most stupidest thing I've ever seen in this podcast's lifetime.

80
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
I'm excited to top it though.

81
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Alright, so hit us with the plot.

82
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
So Happy New Year is basically a heist movie.

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Can we just, sorry, really quickly, when did this movie debut?

84
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Because this is going to tie into the theme of this movie.

85
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Right.

86
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
We thought Happy New Year was going to premiere sometime around New Year's Eve.

87
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,000
But apparently it premiered in October, which was Diwali at the time.

88
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
I think that was the intention.

89
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Yeah, I mean, so in America, you know, we have all these holiday themed movies that come out on that day.

90
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Because that's the point. Valentine's Day comes out on Valentine's Day.

91
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
We picked Happy New Year because for the episode is going to come out for New Year's.

92
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
So we're like, hey, let's relate it.

93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000
I was stunned to hear it came out in October and I think that's like part of a larger theme of this movie.

94
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Where they just picked a random name and it has nothing to do with New Year whatsoever.

95
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I think just little, small little references to New Year.

96
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Diwali is New Year for some countries in India.

97
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Yeah, that's why I assume that they're just tying New Year to Diwali.

98
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
It's like Songran for Thailand.

99
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Yeah, some people in India celebrate their New Year in Diwali.

100
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,000
But the New Year happening on screen, like just referred once or twice, is not Diwali New Year.

101
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:17,000
New Year gets thrown like it's they mentioned New Year's Eve like three, four times, but it's not even like there is no New Year theme to it.

102
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
It just takes place during New Year's Eve.

103
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
I don't know if that counts.

104
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Yeah, they don't mention Diwali.

105
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
I mean, that's for the.

106
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
No, it's not.

107
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
It's not.

108
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,000
So one thing, I mean, this is the whole dance competition where the show off happens.

109
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
It took place in New Year's Eve.

110
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Yeah, there we go.

111
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
New Year.

112
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Right.

113
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
So my point that it coming out October dance.

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
There's nothing.

115
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:55,000
So I remember when I was a kid, the IFA award, it's like a film fair awards for Indian like Bollywood films used to be hosted in Dubai or somewhere in the Middle East like this, where the film is happening.

116
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:05,000
And the set was used to be very similar to what the set in the film is. And that used to happen on the 31st Eve.

117
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:14,000
So that's the only connection I could make because I'm like feeling forced to build a connection that how it can be New Year.

118
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Like I'm just stressing a lot because there is nothing to hold on to.

119
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
More than the movie date because then coming out October, they did not give a shit.

120
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Well, I think you guys reached the conclusion that this was SEO marketing, right? And really effective because that's how we found it.

121
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
We just happened to have been happy new year about it.

122
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:39,000
We ended up watching it. It worked. And we also found out this is the funny part about doing this podcast with Kelly too, because like Kelly is like, I've never seen it in this movie sucks blah blah and whatever.

123
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000
But then we find out it was like the highest grossing Indian film at the time.

124
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:52,000
He's like, oh shit, really? Like he's very fingers not on the pulse. What's going on? He's like never heard of it before. It's like a huge film.

125
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:00,000
It turns out it's a pretty big star cast as well as Shahrukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika. Yeah, that's an A-list cast.

126
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,000
I mean, it worked. You type in happy New Year's. You saw the let's literally what you posted. You're like, this is the movie. This is the cast.

127
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
And we ended up watching it. It worked.

128
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:14,000
But it also could have worked if it had to do with New Year's. It probably would have been better. Our expectations would have been set better.

129
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
No, I don't think so. They would screw up in some way.

130
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Like more than they already screwed up?

131
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Yeah, this movie. So there is a thing. I was telling this thing. This movie is antithesis of everything it saves.

132
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:38,000
It's like the director Farah Khan, she's a choreographer and the main group in the film, they can't dance and the dance numbers are awful.

133
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000
She's a woman and this film is so misogynistic. The characters are so misogynistic and she's a woman.

134
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:58,000
And then there is this dance competition happening and the sponsor is an insurance company and everything gets stolen during the competition.

135
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:06,000
So it's like every single decision they could have made, they went with the wrong one, including the release date.

136
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Can we talk about how there's a little bit I remember from the film is that there's a female character who kind of just falls in love every time a male character speaks perfect English.

137
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Let's get in the plot. Let's pick it off.

138
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I'm going to do a rundown of all the characters first. So it's a Happy New Year is a high smoothies. It's your typical India. It's like India's answer to Ocean's 11.

139
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
I don't think so.

140
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Okay, we can agree to disagree. It can be Ocean's 11. Now you see me, whatever.

141
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
How is it not really quick? How is it not? Dude, it's a high smoothies.

142
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I mean, I see you.

143
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
This is a school for high school.

144
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Is it like Tower Heist with Ben Stiller?

145
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
It's unintentional school film.

146
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Okay, but unintentional. That means they didn't do it. That means it is not. It's at the Ocean's 11.

147
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
I don't want it to represent India's high school.

148
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
It's too late. But buddy, that's enough to you. It does.

149
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
It's a high school from India.

150
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Okay, it's in the vein of Ocean's 11.

151
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
In the vein of Ocean's 11.

152
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Not exactly carbon copy.

153
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Because Ocean's 11 is like cult classic.

154
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
So is this buddy? It was a high school film.

155
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
It is not cult classic.

156
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Yeah, it is. It was as big of a hit as Ocean's 11 was. I'm sorry, but this is part of cinema.

157
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
You guys are right.

158
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
This is a star studded, high school film.

159
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000
This is B-Film.

160
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
That made a huge change.

161
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Like Ocean's 11.

162
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Yeah, and Happinyo is what Bollywood represents.

163
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Okay, thank you.

164
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
It is.

165
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
So anyway, you have your character, right?

166
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Shahrukh Khan, obviously plays the lead.

167
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
He plays Charlie.

168
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000
He's like very heroic, very invincible.

169
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
What a surprise. Shocker.

170
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Nothing can go wrong. He's a womanizer, obviously.

171
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
He's our main character, right?

172
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And then you'll have a guy named, I think it's Sonu Suud as Jag.

173
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
So this guy is like massive, jacked, massively jacked.

174
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
He's like a meathead.

175
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,000
And like he's supposed to be like, so I found out like, so his character is like, has some loony tunes as quality in the beginning.

176
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Cause like, you know, when he gets angry, he like steam comes out of one year.

177
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
One year.

178
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:19,000
So I found out that they actually briefly explained in the movie that he's ex bomb squad and he lost an ear.

179
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
That's why it's only one steam.

180
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000
But that's so weird for the Bollywood film to never bring up again why it's one year.

181
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:32,000
You think it'd be some plot device or at the very end of the finale, like he uses the one ear to like blast someone.

182
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,000
It's weird that, cause that seems like a weird, weird detail.

183
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Cause it's a cartoon steam coming out of his ear and not the other side.

184
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
It's weird that they don't bring up why.

185
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
I think it's one of those cases where we shouldn't be questioning too much about the film.

186
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Okay, fine, fair.

187
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,000
But the nice hallmark about the Bollywood films is like, he says like they do repeat themselves every five minutes.

188
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
If you're looking at your phone, like they'll just tell you.

189
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Critics say it's Ocean's Eleven written by baboons, right?

190
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
It's Ocean's Eleven written by baboons.

191
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Are you still fixated on this? Ocean's Eleven? Go on.

192
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
So you have, you have Charlie, Sonosuit is Jagged.

193
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:16,000
And then you have the, the safecracker Bowman, Irani as Tammy, which is like, he's this guy that like has epileptic seizures.

194
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Every now and then.

195
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,000
And he likes to take out things from his bag and is the safecracker.

196
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And his seizure is just for 30 seconds every time.

197
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Yeah.

198
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000
For whatever reason.

199
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
I don't, I guess seizures are funny. I don't know.

200
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
So anyway.

201
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
They're the funniest.

202
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Yeah, seizures are super funny.

203
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:40,000
And then you have Vivan's Shaw as Rohan Singh, which is like this young, young emo looking hacker straight from 2008, 2009.

204
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
He looks like Drake Bell, right?

205
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Looks like Drake Bell.

206
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:50,000
You know, and when he hacks, you have those typical like CGI-esque monitor screens where like they do these cheesy.

207
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,000
I love like, there was a point where he like, this engages some, some, some device by hacking.

208
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
And it's just comes out like valve opened or something.

209
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Or like lasers deactivated.

210
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Laser deactivated.

211
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Yeah. It's the nicest animation possible.

212
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
I love that hacking software.

213
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
And then you have Abhishek Bachchan, who I've.

214
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
I think his character sucks, man.

215
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
He sucks.

216
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
He's, he's in a dual role as Nandu Bide.

217
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,000
He's like this drunkard and he's supposed to like do this, like play up a disguise for the heist.

218
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
But in, in the movie, it's like a dual role.

219
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
He, he also portrays like the villain's son.

220
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Yeah.

221
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Named, what was that again?

222
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Vicky.

223
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Vicky Grover.

224
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Yeah.

225
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
That's such a weird name.

226
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
His superpower is like he can puke anytime.

227
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
He can puke anytime.

228
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Okay.

229
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
This was another thing that wasn't paid off at all.

230
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000
No, no, no.

231
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,000
He puked in that room because at the, at the, before the climax in like the final scene.

232
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Did it do anything though?

233
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
They were assigned to the green room at the beginning, right?

234
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
That's was the whole point that way.

235
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Why they joined the dance competition because team India will be given that dance room.

236
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
But when they were finalists, that, that, that green room was like assigned to English team.

237
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:17,000
And then that's why it goes into that room and pukes so that the English team is like disgusted and doesn't use that room.

238
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
So they just change, exchange this room.

239
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Okay.

240
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
What a cool superpower.

241
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
I mean, anyone could have done that.

242
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Yeah.

243
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000
I mean, like,

244
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,000
So you have your fight, you have your five guys and then you have the female lead.

245
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
I don't know.

246
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000
I'm sorry.

247
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I'm going to put your name deep pick up.

248
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
But it's gone.

249
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
She plays as Mohini Joshi.

250
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
She's like this.

251
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
She's basically like the dancer of the group because in happy new year, it's a heist film,

252
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
but it takes place at a dance competition.

253
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
And like these, these five men needed help from a female lead, I guess.

254
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
And she's the one that, you know, brings them all in and teaches them.

255
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Yeah, it was too much a sausage fist.

256
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
They needed a woman.

257
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
They need a woman and she loves English.

258
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Yeah.

259
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Well, but also it just to put it, she works at like a Mulan Rouge place.

260
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Yeah.

261
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Like they literally took the interior design of Mulan Rouge and replaced Nicole Kidman

262
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
with her.

263
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,000
And so she's kind of like the dancer there at this very fancy brothel, I guess, right?

264
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Yeah.

265
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
It's like, it's like that.

266
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Anyway, I guess,

267
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Don't forget the emotional appearance.

268
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,000
And there's an emotional appearance.

269
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
I have no idea what that is.

270
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Yeah.

271
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
So this is the funniest thing because we saw that on screen.

272
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
We see the whole cast and I've never seen this before.

273
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
And I even Googled this and it couldn't give me a good answer.

274
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
It says emotional appearance by who?

275
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Anupam Kher.

276
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Okay.

277
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
So have you seen that term before?

278
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Emotional appearance?

279
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Never.

280
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
This is the, I've never seen that.

281
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
It's usually like special thanks to if someone is like doing some big star is doing like

282
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
a small role.

283
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
This is like special appearance, guest appearance.

284
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Yeah.

285
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,000
This is very common in Bollywood.

286
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Same.

287
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
I mean Hollywood too.

288
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Yeah, but not emotional.

289
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Emotional appearance was like, I guess, I like Google's best guest was like,

290
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
It makes everyone feel emotions when he's on there.

291
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
It's like, it's like flashing, you know, like MLK's face on the screen or whatever,

292
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
but this guy's alive.

293
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
He kills himself.

294
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
So that's cool.

295
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Wait, so he does appear in the movie.

296
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
It's not like he's just there in spirit.

297
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
No, he's really there.

298
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
I mean, he's spirit at the end because he kills himself.

299
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Oh, maybe that's what they mean by emotional.

300
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
He's also physically there as an actor.

301
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000
So first I thought only his photo is used or something like that.

302
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
That's maybe that's why emotional.

303
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
I thought he inspired the film or something.

304
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
He's like giving like a video call like he's like zooming in.

305
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Hey, everyone, how are you doing?

306
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
But he is properly in the film like he's acting.

307
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
So is he very famous?

308
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
That's why they had to give him a special credit like that.

309
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Yeah, definitely.

310
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
But the term is like emotional appearance.

311
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,000
He's a politician.

312
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
So who is this guy?

313
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000
No, he's not.

314
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
He's a political stooge.

315
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Okay.

316
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
What's the difference, Kelly?

317
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Adam's like, this is an actor like from Bollywood who just sucks up to the.

318
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
But I thought he's politically involved.

319
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Yeah, you said he was a big supporter of the BJP.

320
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
He doesn't.

321
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
He's not in active politics.

322
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
He's the cultural support of the politics.

323
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Okay.

324
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Yeah.

325
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Right.

326
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
He's representing in his cultural support.

327
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Yeah, the pro Hindu.

328
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Okay.

329
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
BJP.

330
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Yeah.

331
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
I mean his wife, who is also an actor.

332
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000
She is in politics, like active politics.

333
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Yeah.

334
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Okay.

335
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,000
So a lot of political influence.

336
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Yeah.

337
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
And anyways, big emotional in this film.

338
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Huh?

339
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
We see Modi in this film.

340
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Modi's in this film?

341
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Actor.

342
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,000
I look alike.

343
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Oh.

344
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
That would be a bit insane.

345
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,000
It was weird.

346
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Um, yeah, but anyways, emotional appearance.

347
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
That was very special.

348
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
I didn't know if that was like a common thing or not, but okay.

349
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
So it's just weird for this movie.

350
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Yeah.

351
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Okay.

352
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Cool.

353
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Anyway, so the, I guess the majority, the, the, the first few scenes in the beginning

354
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
is just, you know, a shower con.

355
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
He's just playing the hero type as usual.

356
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
He has to form the team.

357
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
So we one by one were introduced to the, to, to, wait, wait, wait, why is he forming a

358
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
team?

359
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Why is he for, why is he forming a team?

360
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Because he, we find, and we don't find this out in the beginning.

361
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,000
We find this out later.

362
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:36,000
We find out that, uh, basically his father was, is basically like a, a, a safe maker.

363
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Uh, he's like, he owned, he's, he's been contracted to build the most advanced safe

364
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
system for this guy, our villain, Charon Grover.

365
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Uh, Charon Grover is basically, he's described as like this African arms dealer, diamond

366
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
dealer or something.

367
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I don't, I don't remember what he deals in, but basically diamonds.

368
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Yeah.

369
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Yeah.

370
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Diamonds.

371
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
He, he, he, he orders, he orders shower cons, uh, father to, to build the safe.

372
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
And here's the small connection to the title.

373
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,000
It's like during New Year's Eve, when they, when they're finishing, when, when his father

374
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,000
finally built the safe is that, uh, Charon, Charon, the bad, the bad guy just, just drugs

375
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
and then frames his ass into stealing the diamonds.

376
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,000
And, and then like, you know, his father was in prison and then we later find out that,

377
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
uh, he committed suicide.

378
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:37,000
So that, that motivates Charon's character to steal from, from Charon Grover, form a team

379
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000
through the heist.

380
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
So the dad is the emotional appearance, by the way, that's that actor.

381
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Yeah.

382
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Yeah.

383
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
So the emotional appearance is this dad who got blamed and kills himself, like cuts

384
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
the, the vein in his juggler in the hand.

385
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Is that your fantasy of him?

386
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000
No, actually, if you cut your hand like that, you don't, don't die because your blood will

387
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000
coagulate, stop flowing bleeding at one point.

388
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
You may pass out, but you won't die.

389
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,000
So in order to die, you have to,

390
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
At fear of stairs, we want you to correctly commit suicide.

391
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Uh, in order to die, you have to drown your hand, you know, like a cold water or something

392
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
so that the blood doesn't coagulate.

393
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Okay.

394
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Thank you.

395
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
I don't want to disseminate that info.

396
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000
So was this movie scientifically inaccurate in the way that the father died?

397
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000
12 movie mistakes.

398
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
This movie does not commit suicide correctly.

399
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
This is a bad way to kill yourself.

400
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Kids, don't do this.

401
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
You won't die correctly.

402
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Maybe they're doing it for the kids that are watching.

403
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
There is another way to die.

404
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Like if you're in a jail and you don't have any access to anything and use some like,

405
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
like open your eyes, like the, um, like what is the film?

406
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
The clock, clock, orange and make them watch the happy new year film.

407
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Huh?

408
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Like on repeat.

409
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Uh huh.

410
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000
You buy that.

411
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Sure.

412
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Sure.

413
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
So you could kill yourself if you watch this movie over and over again.

414
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Yeah.

415
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Okay.

416
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Thanks.

417
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
I think I saw flashes of God.

418
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
He had a DMT trip as he was watching this film.

419
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
So all right.

420
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
So shower con is, is, is getting a team together.

421
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
We're bringing the band back together.

422
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Yes.

423
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,000
But can we mention too, like the movie scene opens up with the dance number just to establish

424
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,000
the dance competition.

425
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
I just really want to quickly say who is the main bad guys of the dance team.

426
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
So apart from char and Grover, right?

427
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:41,000
So at the beginning we see this like very festively event happening on stage.

428
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,000
And the first thing that I noticed, or maybe you noticed too, Adam, is that there was a,

429
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
the North Korean flag.

430
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Yeah.

431
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
The North Korean flag was there.

432
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,000
So apparently the, the, the team, the, so this is a dance competition and the team that

433
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
our, our heroes go up against is, is North Korea of all, of all countries.

434
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
No, I, yeah.

435
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
So this, yes, caught my eye instantly.

436
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:11,000
I am interested when North Korea shows up on screen and stuff.

437
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,000
It flashes North Korea as like the, the dance competition team and like buses show up and

438
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
it's just the Korea.

439
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
It doesn't say North.

440
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
It just, they label North Korea as Korea.

441
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000
South Korea is not mentioned whatsoever.

442
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
And the North Korean team is like this very talented, good-looking dance group with like

443
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
spiky leather jackets, like they're like in like a punk nineties band.

444
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Yeah, they're very angry.

445
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,000
They're always angry.

446
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:48,000
It has zero like geopolitical knowledge of like Korea or like, or North Korea or South Korea.

447
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Like they made a choice because they chose North Korea and it's written as North Korea.

448
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
But then the rest of the time they're just Koreans.

449
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
And like it's just, if you, if you would be choosing North Korea as the baddies, don't you have,

450
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,000
wouldn't you have them be kind of like a weird communist group, you know, like have some angle like that,

451
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,000
have some weird aesthetic, but instead it's like they don't reference that part at all.

452
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
They're just the bad guys that happen to be North Korea.

453
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,000
What if this is strategic because there's some actor that has political influence.

454
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Modi shows up in the movie and they just recognize Korea as North Korea.

455
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
So maybe it's just a strategic Korea.

456
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Like there is no nothing called North Korea and South Korea.

457
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
It's like democratic people's Republic of Korea.

458
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Right.

459
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
It's North Korea and South Korea.

460
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
And then South Korea is like, what?

461
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Are you trying to start a civil war dude?

462
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,000
This is Modi like kind of cozying up to North Korea.

463
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Yeah.

464
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,000
I mean, if you call North Korea just Korea, that is like their dream.

465
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,000
That's legitimizing them.

466
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Yeah.

467
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
And there is no mention of South Korea.

468
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:56,000
But again, to never mention, yeah, like Kim Jong-un or like, you know, perhaps like there's no, you know,

469
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
communist flags or any like red symbols or stars on them.

470
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
So like, I don't even think they do understand that part of North Korea.

471
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,000
I think they just chose the one country that is never going to like give them shit at the UN because they're not even there or something.

472
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
It's the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and People's Republic of Korea.

473
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Yeah.

474
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Yeah.

475
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000
So there is no North Korea.

476
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Thanks.

477
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Is that what you've been looking at?

478
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Owned by facts and logic.

479
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
No, but so North Korea is the bad thing.

480
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:34,000
I do want to say like as part of, so I recently came back from my trip to Laos because I wanted to see the Laos football game.

481
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:41,000
There was a football match in Laos when it was North Korea versus Ryan.

482
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
And I went with my friend.

483
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
We could not get tickets.

484
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
We couldn't find them online or anything, but we just went anyway.

485
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,000
So I went to VNT in Laos.

486
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
The football stadium was about an hour out of town.

487
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
So we took a taxi all the way there.

488
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,000
The game was at like 5 p.m. or 7 p.m. We were either like 5.

489
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Immediately get there.

490
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Parking lot's completely empty.

491
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
The security guard's like, where's your ticket?

492
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,000
We're like, we don't have any.

493
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000
We want to buy some.

494
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
He's like, you need the CIP pass.

495
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
There is no general public.

496
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
It's like this is cut off from everyone.

497
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Just go back.

498
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000
And so we just had a tele-taxi driver to go back and I went all the way.

499
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Oh no.

500
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Yeah, I never saw that.

501
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
I never saw the match.

502
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
That is so sad.

503
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Yeah.

504
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
You should have called me.

505
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
And said what?

506
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
What are you going to do?

507
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Are you Batman?

508
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000
You can do.

509
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
I'll put in a word for Kim Jong-un.

510
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,000
I'll let you in the game.

511
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
People's Republic of Korea.

512
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Side note as well.

513
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,000
I just want to say too, when I used to work in an office down here in Bangkok, there was a North Korean.

514
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
I used to go to all the time.

515
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
It was right next to a K village.

516
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
There's Korean village right next to it was a North Korean restaurant.

517
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,000
It's not open anymore.

518
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000
But every single night they had a show at 8 30 p.m. for free.

519
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000
You go in there and the whole restaurant is run by North Koreans.

520
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Like North Korea does it as like a cultural outreach thing.

521
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And they want to get like, you know, goodwill or, you know, some PR and stuff.

522
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
So you go in, it's a little restaurant.

523
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
It was very, very expensive.

524
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
And the food was very, very bad.

525
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Like it was like cold noodles and just and pretty really, really shit food.

526
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
But I wanted to see the show every night.

527
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000
So you go in and there's like four ladies that are waitresses and they speak different languages.

528
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
So one speaks Japanese, one speaks English.

529
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Like they were trained in different languages and stuff.

530
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And, you know, they're serving the food and everything.

531
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
You can talk to them, you know, they're North Koreans and they like were brought here.

532
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,000
But if you ask them any questions that they're uncomfortable with, they're like,

533
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
they'll just like ignore you.

534
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
So if you're like, Hey, where did you learn English from?

535
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000
They won't tell you because it's probably some like kidnap tutor and stuff.

536
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
And like you'll ask them.

537
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
It's true.

538
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,000
I'm sure.

539
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
But you don't know about these.

540
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Yeah.

541
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000
No, no, no.

542
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:01,000
There's this whole thing where like they would kidnap the Japanese along the beach shores and would bring them back to North Korea.

543
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
And they would live in like a commune of other kidnapped people.

544
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
And like they taught Japanese to the Koreans and they were going to have a kid and that kid,

545
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000
the whole long plan was their kids would become North Korean spies.

546
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
They would go back to Japan and spy for North Korea.

547
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
But they did that with English people too.

548
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000
They're like tutor English and stuff.

549
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,000
A lot of kidnapped people.

550
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Yeah.

551
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,000
But they chat with you, you know, they were just being very nice.

552
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
But you'd ask them, like, what do you think of Thailand?

553
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
What do you think of Thai food?

554
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
I go, I don't like the Thai food.

555
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Okay.

556
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Where's your favorite place in Thailand?

557
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000
I don't know.

558
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Like because they're not allowed to leave the restaurant.

559
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
They live there and they work there.

560
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000
So they're kidnapped workers who learn English from kidnapped tutors.

561
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
It's a vicious cycle.

562
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And at 830 every night for free, they put on a show.

563
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:50,000
So it would be this big half hour show where they would do really elaborate performances,

564
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,000
big costume dances.

565
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
They'd play these North Korean instruments.

566
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Each lady played like an instrument extremely well,

567
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
like cello and violin and stuff.

568
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
And they were incredibly impressive.

569
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
They would do Disney songs.

570
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
So they'd do like a Beauty and the Beast song or something.

571
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
They would do a mask show where like they wore masks and did like, you know,

572
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
performative dance in like a North Korean style.

573
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
They were still waitressing while they were doing this.

574
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
So because they were the only people that worked there.

575
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
So like if you ran out of beer, wanted some food,

576
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
like if someone wasn't dancing, they'd be running around and like pouring beer and stuff

577
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,000
and then going back on stage.

578
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000
It was incredible.

579
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Deeper people are really cultured.

580
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Yeah.

581
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
I mean, well, they were trained just for this.

582
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000
And I think like a big privilege should be able to be in one of these restaurants.

583
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
And then when the show, so the show lasted half an hour,

584
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
when the show was over every single night,

585
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
they'd make everyone get up and do the YMCA.

586
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
So we'd all get in a circle.

587
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
It'd be like, because I came a lot because I came like,

588
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
it was right next to work and I just really enjoyed it.

589
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,000
I don't think they liked me that much,

590
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:55,000
but it was always like a couple like Japanese people and some South Koreans kind of hanging out and like me.

591
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
And we'd all just get up and do the YMCA every night.

592
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
YMCA.

593
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Yeah.

594
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Because it just brings people together.

595
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Everyone knows that song.

596
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Yeah.

597
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
It is a very common song.

598
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Yeah.

599
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,000
And honestly, it did bring a lot of goodwill.

600
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
It's a missionary song, right?

601
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
YMCA is a Christian missionary song.

602
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Yeah.

603
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Yeah.

604
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
But nobody knows it for that.

605
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Oh, okay.

606
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Thinking of village people.

607
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Yeah.

608
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,000
It's village people.

609
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Yeah.

610
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Yeah.

611
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Yeah.

612
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Yeah.

613
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Yeah.

614
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Gay village people.

615
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Yes.

616
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Yes.

617
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,000
It is weird.

618
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,000
It's a world wide phenomenon.

619
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:37,000
I stayed in a YMCA hotel, like a guest house in one of the Indian cities, like when we

620
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
were traveling there.

621
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,000
They had a very nice inexpensive guest house.

622
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Yeah.

623
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,000
They have good services.

624
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,000
They're cool.

625
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,000
There's tons of YMCA's in Bangkok and stuff.

626
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Yeah.

627
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Anyway, so.

628
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
So you saw some North Korean Broadway like musical.

629
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Yeah.

630
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Did you see similarities with the dance moves that you saw at that restaurant and on the

631
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,000
movie?

632
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Is that like a cultural North Korean dance move you saw?

633
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,000
No.

634
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,000
This is my point.

635
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
They did zero research.

636
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000
It's these punk guys in leather suits doing weird dances.

637
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,000
But anyways, yes, that is my two North Korean.

638
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Do you want to know what I found out?

639
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
The lead Korean guy is Indian Chinese.

640
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Oh, yeah.

641
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Indian Chinese.

642
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Yeah, they don't look Korean.

643
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
None of them look Korean.

644
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Like, that was the first one.

645
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000
That's true.

646
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
They didn't look Korean.

647
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,000
The young guy.

648
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,000
The young kid.

649
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,000
I was literally like saying to you guys, like, that is not a Korean.

650
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,000
So is he a Chinese born living in India?

651
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
He's a mixed Indian Chinese.

652
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
I am pretty sure they're all Indian Chinese.

653
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Yeah, they don't look Korean.

654
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,000
They don't not.

655
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Maybe like the Northern Indian.

656
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Sorry, I forgot to bring this up.

657
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Indian Indian.

658
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,000
They weren't speaking Korean.

659
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Do you remember?

660
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,000
So the songs, they were just blabbering.

661
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Yeah, they were babbling at one point.

662
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,000
The song when team India versus team North Korea.

663
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,000
The beginning, they were doing like the, the ching chong.

664
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Yeah, basically.

665
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
What do you mean by ching chong?

666
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Yeah, they did it long.

667
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Oh my God, I'm going to get canceled now.

668
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
No, no, no, but that's how they sounded.

669
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,000
That's what they were trying to do.

670
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Film is the most real.

671
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,000
I'm Asian.

672
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,000
I get to say that.

673
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
You have the past.

674
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
We're not speaking Korean.

675
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000
They were just making like gobbledygook.

676
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Like, and it's not like Korean is an unknown language.

677
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Like it's they, you know,

678
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,000
So what was the subtitles doing?

679
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
They literally were just showing made up words.

680
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Here's the funny thing.

681
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:39,000
There is a scene where the characters speak Korean to each other.

682
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
There is a scene.

683
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Shahrukh Khan is speaking Korean to the kid.

684
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
I don't know how authentic that was.

685
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Like how grammatically correct or pronunciation wise.

686
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Of course it would be screwed up in some.

687
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,000
I think it was okay.

688
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,000
It was okay, right?

689
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,000
I mean, it sounded.

690
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:59,000
It sounded so they went to the point that they made Shahrukh Khan speak Korean to the little Korean kid actor.

691
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:06,000
But that's the thing about Shahrukh Khan's character is that like nothing, there's no wrong.

692
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Like he's this hero.

693
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000
He can speak Korean.

694
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
He can, he can win the woman's heart.

695
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,000
He can, I don't know.

696
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000
I just feel like he can.

697
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
So you mean like Shahrukh Khan in every movie he acts in?

698
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,000
He can say the most offensive thing to a woman and the woman is still loving, loving all the time.

699
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000
So we'll get to that.

700
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,000
So let's go on.

701
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
So sorry, that was the intro.

702
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
North Korea, very weird moving on.

703
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
We're still at the fucking intro.

704
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Anyway, all right.

705
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
So, okay.

706
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
So he gathers up his team, right?

707
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Jag is the hardcore guy.

708
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Tammy is the safe cracker.

709
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Rohan is the hacker.

710
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Nandu is the drunk guy.

711
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:51,000
And they, you know, they, he brought them all together and under the guys that they were breaking into the safe, but he fails to mention that they were competing in the world dance competition.

712
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Why are they competing in the world dance competition?

713
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Because the only time it's the only time the diamonds are going to be in that safe.

714
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
And there's another reason, the hotel room.

715
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
The hotel room is the.

716
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:17,000
So for some stupid reason in, in the hotel, like where there's like an air shaft, the only way to be in that room at that hotel at that time is to be part of the dance competition.

717
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,000
They can't book it separately.

718
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000
That room is assigned for Indian team all the time.

719
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,000
That room is assigned for specifically dance competition members.

720
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
So they have to join.

721
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
And you know how also like not any team.

722
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Yeah.

723
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
It, it, that room is always assigned to Indian.

724
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:41,000
And you know how they know that is because shower Khan was part of the safe development construction team.

725
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
He was wearing blue, blue contacts, blonde wig.

726
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
This guy is can do everything.

727
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Wait, shower Khan was a white man in the movie.

728
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,000
He was like, yeah, he was, he was wearing a blonde wig and blue.

729
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
In disguise.

730
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,000
In disguise.

731
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,000
And flawless.

732
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
He looked exactly like a white man.

733
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:04,000
So rewatching that scene made me feel like after all of that and the bad guy child girl, we're still does not recognize who he is.

734
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Like also if you're making the safe, why don't you just put like a little hole in it or something for you to come back to later?

735
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
You're just seeing it to just see where the air duct is.

736
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Like, yeah, if you're at ground zero, just do something to the safe.

737
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Okay.

738
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Now, no, wait, there's going to be diamonds in the safe at that night because of someone traveling, right?

739
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Like there's just going to be diamonds there, which is the safest and most secure safe in existence, right?

740
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Which means every other day, it's in a less secure safe.

741
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,000
If it's only in this safe on this one day, that means every other time it's less secure.

742
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,000
And so you should get those diamonds from literally any other place or time.

743
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:58,000
So it's very weird to try to get it when it's only in this very, very secure safe under this hotel.

744
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Just get it in transport.

745
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Just get it when it's in another normal safe that's not like Ocean's 11 dub.

746
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Oh, okay.

747
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
They chose the hardest way for themselves.

748
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Again, the worst possible choice.

749
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000
I have a theory for that.

750
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
I have a theory for that.

751
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,000
What is it?

752
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,000
The theory is like the diamonds are not exactly owned by the villain guy.

753
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,000
He's just storing it for one night for some reason I didn't understand.

754
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:31,000
So his point is like stealing it from him and making it look like that he stole it himself and frame him for the crime.

755
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
The same way he framed the father.

756
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,000
The way he framed the father.

757
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,000
So that's why he wanted to steal it from his safe, not any other safe.

758
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Okay, flawless.

759
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,000
You're right.

760
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
This movie tied all the loopholes.

761
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:49,000
I think the diamonds are like worth $20 million dollars.

762
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,000
That's what he said.

763
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:58,000
He says in rupees, the Netflix subtitle was converted into dollars based on the day they were writing the subtitle.

764
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
They use that exchange rate, I guess.

765
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Okay, so Shahrukh Khan brings the whole team into like a mock up heist.

766
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:17,000
And then we get this like montage of like them practicing their dance routines and practicing their dance routines and their heist operations.

767
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:31,000
And the dance routine guys, it was, this is the part of the movie that I feel like is kind of like terribly dated in like, you know, ha ha.

768
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Men in men doing gay things.

769
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

770
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000
This this this film is a very loudly homophobic.

771
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
It does come across that way to me.

772
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Well, it's not just you.

773
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
It's objectively homophobic.

774
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,000
I mean, they make nonstop homophobic jokes.

775
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
I mean, ballerina them doing ballerinas.

776
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Yeah, I mean, they're they're learning ballet.

777
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
But I mean, the main can learn ballet.

778
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Being men, they don't have to wear a tootsie.

779
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:07,000
They wear this tootsie and then do this effeminate joke like many girls in the form.

780
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
It was quite cute though.

781
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:17,000
They bring up this transgender or transvestite dance teacher and just mocks her.

782
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
It wasn't no good reason.

783
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Being fat or something like that.

784
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Yeah, so so that about that.

785
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:28,000
It was like it was a man wearing drag, but he was impersonating a real life trans instructor.

786
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Right.

787
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Oh, so you looked it up.

788
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,000
I did look it up.

789
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Yeah, yeah.

790
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,000
I don't know.

791
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
The thing is like the the dance is in that montage.

792
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,000
There was a man dressed as a woman and he was supposed to parody this this dance choreographer.

793
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000
I don't know if she was trans or not, but she was a woman.

794
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,000
But then they do it.

795
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
They play it out like in a very like mocking way.

796
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,000
I'm not sure.

797
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Yeah, because this film mocks and like it's very self-referential.

798
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:58,000
It's very meta-referential to other Bollywood films, to the director's older films, to the actors' different films.

799
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Like it does that all the time.

800
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,000
That's another thing with the movie that I want to mention in the movie is like there is a

801
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,000
inside joke.

802
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,000
A lot of references to past movies, a lot of inside jokes.

803
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:16,000
You know, the thing that Keely pointed out, there was like a pep talk given by Mohini where it's like a reference to like a

804
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Charmacon movie.

805
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,000
But again, you know, these things are just playful little things.

806
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:32,000
The flaw of this dance montage and the concept of this whole movie is it's using this team of high skies who are

807
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,000
not professional dancers that have to go into this dance competition.

808
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:43,000
So by virtue of this, they are bad at dancing and it has to show them being bad at dancing.

809
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:50,000
So this movie is actually brought up. This movie is filmed by a dance choreographer who cannot use her skills because the guys are

810
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
supposed to be bad at dancing.

811
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:58,000
So you're just watching a montage of bad people fucking up all the time.

812
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,000
They're dance moves.

813
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
So it's not very entertaining or fun to watch.

814
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:08,000
She could show proper dance numbers because there are other teams in the competition who are supposed to be good dancers.

815
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,000
But she doesn't choose to show any other dance teams.

816
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Except North Korea.

817
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
We see North Korea dance sometimes and they're not super good.

818
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:25,000
So you're watching these men be bad at dancing and then they're also, yeah, they're being, you know, like, you know, wearing

819
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:32,000
colorful clothes and doing ballet and then being no homo the whole time, which reminds me.

820
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,000
So I used to work at like a female strip club, right?

821
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,000
I was not a stripper.

822
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
I was a bartender at.

823
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000
And there's this guy I was, I was just really, really drunk one night.

824
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,000
I was helping him.

825
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
So I was just helping him up the stairs.

826
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Just he was kind of leaning on me and the entire time he was going up, he just kept saying no homo, no homo, no homo.

827
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,000
And I'm like, dude, like, I'm just like, yes, we know, I'm just getting you up the stairs.

828
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Like I'm not hitting on you.

829
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Like, is this gay that I'm just helping you like get upstairs?

830
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
This is what the dance montage reminded me of.

831
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
It's like, we guys, like you can be gay or not.

832
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
It doesn't matter, but like you can just do the dance number.

833
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000
You don't have to keep bringing it up.

834
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
It makes it more weird.

835
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Yeah.

836
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Yeah.

837
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,000
And then so we have that dance routine.

838
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:28,000
And then the ultimate solution is that I'm shake back chance character was like, we got a higher woman, higher mojini, basically.

839
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:36,000
And when we get to the scene where they're hiring mojini, one thing we learn about her character, as I mentioned before, is that she's

840
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:43,000
falls in love with Charo Khan's character because he can speak English.

841
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
He can speak English.

842
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:53,000
And it's like in that scene, it's like she was like wooed by his like English dialogue, right?

843
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,000
And then she was like, okay, I'm in.

844
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
I mean, I'll give me the address.

845
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:04,000
And then we cut to the scene where like Charo Khan's giving like this pep talk to the men.

846
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:10,000
And then he was saying stuff like, you know, what is what is mojini to us?

847
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Like she's just a teacher.

848
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,000
She's a dancer who dances in like sexy clothes for two men for money.

849
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
She's like a call girl.

850
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
She's bald girl, cheap, tacky.

851
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:28,000
I don't know why suddenly Charo Khan's character shifted into this like, yeah, misogynistic trade, but then I guess it's played.

852
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:42,000
It's played up for laughs, but you know, she gets she was they do they did that bit where like she's standing right behind him hearing everything that he says, and she storms off feeling you know, just crying.

853
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,000
And what and how did you make it up to her by apologizing to her in English.

854
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
So, okay, right.

855
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000
So she has one character trait which is she likes English.

856
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
And she falls in love with anyone that speaks English.

857
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:05,000
And then Charo Khan calls her a whore, and basically disrespects her in front of the entire dance crew.

858
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:11,000
She cries and then he just says stuff in English she does not understand the English.

859
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:18,000
She just likes the sound of it so she doesn't know what he's saying, and just completely forgives him instantly.

860
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:26,000
And does a whole song where she's madly in love with him because he makes sounds that she likes even though she doesn't even know what he's saying.

861
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Now, I just want to say to if this is your thing where you just get turned on by English sounds like what happens when she watches like friends on Netflix.

862
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Is she just like orgasming the entire time.

863
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Does she like fall in love with every single street sign that says stop like what where does that end like can anyone just go up and speak English to her and that's it.

864
00:42:47,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Like what is that and then also I think it literally is just like the definition of gaslighting when like she cannot even like you're just saying nonsense to her but like she just locks in and fixates.

865
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,000
And Winnie have you ever been hypnotized like that because we speak English around you.

866
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Definitely now but I think it's a common experience for white people when they go to India like people will just stop them to take photos.

867
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:24,000
So this is probably just equivalent to that where like he's just he's like showing a aspect of westernization of whiteness by speaking English and she's drawn to it.

868
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Or maybe it's just a director projecting her fantasies through a female lead character.

869
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:36,000
I actually wrote down his apology and it was more about like the way he was actually like objectifying her.

870
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:44,000
And then he was like doing stuff like the movement of your booty the beauty of your movement.

871
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
And your hips don't lie.

872
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Wow that's worse and your breast taking I mean your breathtaking he was literally saying like that was the apology like he was just literally checking her out and she was meanwhile it's just played up for last where she's just like staring at him like doh I'd like oh he's so charming.

873
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:06,000
She's like hypnotized. She doesn't know the words he's saying as he's just insulting her more in front of the work crew.

874
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:14,000
And then yes she just falls in love and is forever behind him now because he speaks English and this is 2014.

875
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:21,000
I want to crumble into a small ball and roll down under the sofa.

876
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Do you think guys tried this after watching the movie.

877
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Do you think they're like if I just speak English or if I find the word.

878
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Tell us if it's how it is in India like are people really would if somebody speaks perfect English.

879
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Is that like is it impressive to girls.

880
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:41,000
I know but it's a class symbol that you're educated and most probably you earn money.

881
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
There we go.

882
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Like you can have can hold a corporate job so it's that in that way but I don't think I've never met anyone who is just would buy someone who just can speak English just for the sound of it.

883
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Do the guys kind of try to like show off their English skills.

884
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Yeah a lot.

885
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:12,000
I mean the city people like yeah they mix up their natives with English all the time.

886
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,000
But I don't think they show off.

887
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:22,000
They just like grew up like that in studying in English medium school like so there are schools like where you cannot speak the your mother tongue.

888
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:30,000
You have to speak in English so they develop like this dual language speaking tendency.

889
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:37,000
And does the movie ever show how shower cons characters gets perfect English like is he from a high class.

890
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:43,000
I saw in a review that that that that that Anupama Chopra's review that like he's from Oxford.

891
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
It's not never mentioned in the film right.

892
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,000
I don't know.

893
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,000
But he he's he's a very smart person.

894
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,000
He learned English.

895
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,000
His name is Charlie as well.

896
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,000
That's true.

897
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Charlie.

898
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Yeah.

899
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Chip Charlie.

900
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Yeah and and and yeah I so how how who was asking like if Indian men do that or not me.

901
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Yeah.

902
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:14,000
So I remember this anecdote where an Australian man stalks a girl like Australian man of Indian origin.

903
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,000
What.

904
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Oh it is in the city.

905
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Yeah.

906
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
In the city in Australia.

907
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Yeah.

908
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Okay.

909
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Stocks a girl follows her to the her house or something like a very criminal offense or

910
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,000
something and his defense lawyers.

911
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:35,000
His lawyers defense was that oh he grew up watching Bollywood films.

912
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:47,000
So and then he showed the film showed some scenes from Bollywood films how stalking is glorified in Bollywood films and gave them gave that as a defense defense in the

913
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,000
court of law that he he doesn't know better.

914
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:56,000
He grew up watching this as a normalized version of showing love.

915
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,000
So it's not his fault.

916
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,000
It's his culture.

917
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,000
So and that worked in court.

918
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,000
I don't remember whether that worked or not.

919
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,000
But that cannot have.

920
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Look at these selective videos I've seen that made me like this.

921
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Yeah.

922
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,000
They used it.

923
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,000
I mean I don't think it would work because like.

924
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Sorry I only watch Arnold Schwarzenegger films.

925
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,000
I kill people.

926
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Yeah.

927
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,000
The only thing I know.

928
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Yeah.

929
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,000
And then like it wasn't the only time that that happened to to Mohini.

930
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:35,000
So when they they arrived to the preliminary rounds I believe the auditions.

931
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Yeah.

932
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:42,000
They I remember that there was this another similar gag where it was like he was just

933
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:48,000
the human I like to be like insulting her while she's behind him.

934
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,000
And then like she storms off again.

935
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
But this time instead of Shahrukh Khan going to apologize to her we get Jag to go up to

936
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:01,000
her and then he was just like telling her like I think the takeaway is that he said

937
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:06,000
to her that you are the first girl Charlie is in love with and then she was just like

938
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,000
oh right.

939
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:13,000
And he says like oh he's talking to you like this because he doesn't know that he is in

940
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,000
love with you.

941
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Yeah.

942
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:21,000
It was it was when I rewatched that I was like you can't you can't be buying this shit right

943
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
now like you cannot.

944
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,000
It's absurd like it's the theater of absurd.

945
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Yeah.

946
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:32,600
I just really hope girls don't see that and just think like yeah that's cool or that like

947
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,000
I should chase English speakers above all else or whatever.

948
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Like that's insane.

949
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:42,000
I don't think a woman will like fall into like think that's normal.

950
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:47,000
It's the men who think that oh I'm doing this that means the women should understand that

951
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
I'm in love with her.

952
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Somewhere in the world Happy New Year is a very influential movie to this kid who will

953
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,000
be a woman.

954
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,000
That kid has to be really really idiotic.

955
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:02,000
That kid's gonna use this movie in court one day.

956
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000
All right so so they fall in love.

957
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:11,000
They go to the you know auditions they win and no they don't win.

958
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:17,000
They enter the audition and they blackmail the judges who by the way one of them is

959
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Arora Kashyap.

960
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,000
He's the director of DevD.

961
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Yeah.

962
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:26,000
The past episode that we covered but they did this thing again where it's like it's it's

963
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,000
another like lowbrow humor type of gag where it's like we're gonna blackmail you judges

964
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:37,000
and then they showed like the team shows the judges like this hidden camera they got in

965
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:43,000
the room in some room and like the judges are engaged in homosexual activities.

966
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
It's not even sexual.

967
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Well they were like dressed in drag and dancing with each other.

968
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:53,000
I don't know what the takeaway is that like it's just very casual.

969
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000
It's just a casual homophobic joke.

970
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Yeah it's just like that.

971
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:01,000
It's just for me it's just like oh.

972
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:07,000
It's just I don't know to me it's just like very lowbrow I suppose.

973
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Yeah and I'm really surprised that Arora Kashyap was okay doing it.

974
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Yeah considering like because he appears a somewhat sensible director.

975
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Totally agree.

976
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Island of like an ocean of stupid filmmakers.

977
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:31,000
They competed in this in the first few rounds right and then like I think you would think

978
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:37,000
that they would nail it right but then everybody hated them but guess what the only reason they

979
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:43,000
won is because they cheated you know it's with the hacking the votes and like I feel this

980
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Rohan guy the hacker it's like he's this that's all there is to him like I feel like the characters

981
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,000
also treat him like shit I don't know do you ever do you ever see that like he's a boy

982
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:59,000
he's a boy yeah why don't you get do this right yeah they're always like looking down

983
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:05,000
up so but meanwhile like so yeah these guys all do things one after the other that are

984
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:13,000
not only not heroic but fucked up like he's super mean to like his dance trainer and disrespectful

985
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,000
then they blackmail to get in the competition then they have to win like none of these things

986
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:24,000
are by skill like usually you watch these movies and it's like oh you know they practiced and

987
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:30,000
got good but they did they don't get good they stay bad they and they just cheat and hack

988
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,000
their way into and we're supposed to be rooting for them and celebrating them but like why like

989
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:40,000
they're good at anything you have some he had some personal agent behind it that's it they're

990
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,000
supposed to just like like him because they're like team India and so like the country should

991
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,000
be happy but honestly they shouldn't be happy if these guys suck it's like honestly like

992
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Reagan that Olympic dancer the break dancer for Australia right like like they're not going

993
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,000
to root for you if you suck really bad at it then you become very embarrassing so like they shouldn't

994
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:06,000
be rooting for them and like there's no merit that they're in there yes and I was rooting for them

995
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:16,000
until yeah we'll come to that point at what point changes all and everyone starts rooting for them

996
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:23,000
even even their opponents I'm gonna like fast forward a little bit right because like it just kind of like

997
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:29,000
the enders a little bit like how you guys should watch this film fast forward whenever you want yeah

998
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:36,000
so like they they are just there's like one scene that that that is like a highlight right it was

999
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:43,000
more like it was all the teams like practicing on this helipad and yeah and then you have this like

1000
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:49,000
really cool fight scene like Charokhan and the supposed supposedly Korean leader North Korean

1001
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:54,000
leader fighting on this helipad they're doing such cool it was like a Tekken level a Tekken level

1002
00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:02,000
yeah it really does and like it ends with like you know Charokhan's character almost falling off the

1003
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,000
building but then he manages to gain the upper hand and then like pushes the North Korean but because

1004
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Charokhan is our mighty hero he spares him or something yeah well I just feel like that thing

1005
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:18,000
that really sent me because like it's like oh good good lord like how many times was we realized

1006
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:24,000
oh Charokhan is like our lord and savior but but like the fact that you said had to save him like

1007
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:29,000
this started as a dance off yeah so like they're on a helipad which if you're gonna be practicing

1008
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,000
dance don't do it on a helipad because like you're gonna fall off and die like that's a crazy dangerous

1009
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:38,000
place to practice like flips and stuff they're at like a Tekken level where everyone's just kind of

1010
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:44,000
around in like kind of blurry and they're just kind of like weird colored shapes behind them and stuff

1011
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:50,000
and it's just a dance off that becomes like violent near the end and then like by the end they was

1012
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
like he's holding the North Korean like off the ledge of the helicopter.

1013
00:53:53,000 --> 00:54:01,000
North Korean guy was about to slap the young kid from his team and then Charokhan was like

1014
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
no corporal punishment is bad for kids and then that's why they start fighting.

1015
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Yeah but then it yeah so it becomes like a guy almost falling off a helicopter pad and dying.

1016
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,000
It escalates really quickly.

1017
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:21,000
I just think it's funny when Keely explained that it's like that's a sentence.

1018
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:28,000
So then he has to fight the North Korean in a dance off to show the guy the corporal punishment is bad for children.

1019
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000
This is so stupid.

1020
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,000
And he saves him from the helipad ledge.

1021
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:41,000
So yeah that happened so another thing that I want to point out is that you know during that rehearsal

1022
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:48,000
is like the kid almost fell and fell the North Korean kid during their dance routine almost fell

1023
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,000
and that's going to play an important part later in the story.

1024
00:54:52,000 --> 00:55:01,000
They were this huge human pyramid like it looked like he is falling from like second floor or third floor of a building.

1025
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:12,000
He was taking so long to fall for that little poor guy and yeah explain how the stage was.

1026
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Yeah so after that helipad scene we get to the like the first round or so.

1027
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:28,000
It's like a big dance scene where India is pitted against North Korea and then you have that like gobbledygook song.

1028
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:36,000
They literally just speak made up words even though again Korean is not a dead language like get a Korean to do it.

1029
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:42,000
It's like it's like if they had like imagine imagine if they had like India and they're like gobbledygook.

1030
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,000
You know what I mean.

1031
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,000
What the fuck like that's a language that people speak right now.

1032
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
That's what they do to Korea.

1033
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
I think you should cut this.

1034
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,000
It was like it was like.

1035
00:55:53,000 --> 00:56:04,000
I think they wrote a later to DPRK officials for sending one linguist but they didn't reply so they had to resort to this kind of.

1036
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,000
It's not their fault.

1037
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,000
No it's not.

1038
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,000
K-pop or anything to learn Korean song sound.

1039
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,000
I mean I'm sure the Republic of Korea and DPRK's language is the same.

1040
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Yeah it's South Korean and North Korean.

1041
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,000
No it's the same.

1042
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,000
It's the same.

1043
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,000
I'm just kidding.

1044
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,000
I'm just just it's just so bad.

1045
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,000
The filmmakers don't do any stupid single research.

1046
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Because it wouldn't be too hard to find like a Korean language.

1047
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:34,000
No K-pop and Korean cinema is like the largest like media export in Asia.

1048
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,000
Like they know.

1049
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,000
So you purposely just have them just spew made up words.

1050
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,000
And again this was a huge hit in Asia.

1051
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:51,000
This movie was not only one of the most popular movies at the time in India but worldwide it was like one of the highest grossing Indian films.

1052
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Yeah somehow it was like one of the top highest.

1053
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
I wonder what it made in South Korea because honestly.

1054
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Indian film in Germany.

1055
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,000
It's full of South Korean erasure basically.

1056
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:07,000
I'm led to believe they got confused between North and South.

1057
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Like seriously I'm starting to believe in that IMDb groove thing now.

1058
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,000
But they grow north.

1059
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,000
I don't think so.

1060
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,000
I think they choose DPRK to represent Korean culture.

1061
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:23,000
That's a very difficult mistake to like go over so many people's heads during the movie production.

1062
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:30,000
So yeah anyway they're fighting they're competing against the North Korean team in this like quarter final.

1063
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,000
I don't even know.

1064
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Look the dance competition doesn't matter.

1065
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Like who's competing.

1066
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,000
It doesn't matter.

1067
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000
It's just team India and team Korea competing.

1068
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,000
And then the team Korea did the human pyramid thing again.

1069
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:47,000
And of course what do you expect the kid falls ends up falling again.

1070
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:56,000
I think this is the scene that sent us all because where the kid was falling there's like three spiky balls.

1071
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Oh yeah.

1072
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Huge spikes.

1073
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Huge, huge spikes.

1074
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,000
Huge, huge spikes.

1075
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Huge, huge spikes.

1076
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:05,000
No one else in the stage just there where they're standing.

1077
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,000
And the kid is just about to fall on top of the spikes.

1078
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,000
And of course Shah Rukh Khan in all his mighty glory just jumps in,

1079
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:18,000
kicks the fucking balls and they shatter away and then saves his balls.

1080
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:28,000
Yeah so the kid was seconds away from getting his head impaled on a spiky glass ball that they had around the dance area.

1081
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:35,000
So they're doing a dance competition and they're putting basically glass landmines throughout the stage.

1082
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,000
So if you accidentally hit it it will kill you instantly.

1083
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:47,000
The kid falls, yeah he's gonna go eye first into one of the spikes and break the glass and his face.

1084
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,000
And yeah Shah Rukh Khan kicks the glass out saving the kid's life.

1085
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,000
The kid isn't just about to get bruised he's gonna die.

1086
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Yeah that happened.

1087
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,000
And that kid was Kim Jong Un.

1088
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,000
That's how they win people's heart.

1089
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Everyone starts cheering for Team India.

1090
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:16,000
No no no so after that all that happened while waiting for the announcement of the winners,

1091
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:23,000
the team actually finds out from Vicky Grover that...

1092
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Vicky Grover is like a Tekken name too.

1093
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Vicky Grover is my favorite Tekken fighter.

1094
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:39,000
They find out that the diamonds aren't there at the moment and that they would be transported into the safe at New Year's Eve where the finals will be taking place in Dubai.

1095
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:45,000
So now India team has to qualify for the finals otherwise they can't stay in the hotel and steal the diamonds.

1096
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:54,000
And now this is the part that I still question at this very moment is that like when they were announcing the finalists they announced Spain, they announced UAE, Hungary, blah blah blah.

1097
00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:03,000
But then they say Korea wins over Team India which doesn't make any sense by the way because the kid fell down.

1098
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,000
That is already like it's off.

1099
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:10,000
India did so bad that even a kid falling off of a human pyramid doesn't...

1100
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Yeah it doesn't affect their standing.

1101
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Because it did so bad.

1102
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:20,000
And they still pass over India and they're like that's it that's all the finalists.

1103
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:26,000
But then we get one of the judges on stage and then she was like...

1104
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,000
She says like today on this stage...

1105
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,000
The judge grabs the mic like a Kanye from Taylor Swift moment.

1106
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:42,000
She's like today on this stage we saw something that hasn't happened in our 10 year history of the world dance competition.

1107
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,000
Every year a kid dies.

1108
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Every year a kid dies.

1109
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
No one comes in safe then.

1110
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,000
So stupid.

1111
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Every single year we can't we always put these spikes on the ground and someone always dies.

1112
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,000
And no one has ever really been compassionate.

1113
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:04,000
So we just have this pile of kid skulls next to here.

1114
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,000
But this is the first year where we don't have to add a skull to this pile.

1115
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,000
And that's how Team India qualified because of Shah Rukh Khan's heroism.

1116
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,000
They passed not because of the stupid gobbledygook dance routine.

1117
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,000
No nothing. No it was bad.

1118
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,000
And not because India danced well.

1119
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,000
So they didn't have to hack this time though. They still got popular votes.

1120
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Well the hack is don't let the kid die.

1121
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Okay so here I have to say one thing.

1122
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:35,000
In this whole film like the most amicable like the most decent character I've found is Vicky Grover.

1123
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Like he's like this billionaire Marchand's son who owns the whole hotel where all the guests are.

1124
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,000
And he's the nicest kid around the block.

1125
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,000
And like he's most most modest.

1126
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,000
He's the least misogynistic character in the movie.

1127
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,000
He's the son of like a billionaire.

1128
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,000
And he's like a playboy whatever.

1129
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:06,000
He is incredibly nice and like respectful to women for no reason.

1130
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,000
Like he's supposed to be the bad guy.

1131
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,000
But they go out of his way to show him be like some girl like doesn't want to be with him.

1132
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,000
And he's like totally cool with it.

1133
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,000
He like is fine if like she goes and likes some other dude.

1134
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,000
He's like very happy go luck.

1135
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
He like why?

1136
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,000
Like it's the easiest way.

1137
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Like the sons of billionaires are the easiest villains.

1138
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,000
It's not hard to do.

1139
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:33,000
And again the movie went with the opposite choice of making him less misogynistic than the main character.

1140
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,000
A nicer guy all around.

1141
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,000
And he doesn't seem to like cheat as much as these people.

1142
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,000
Like I was rooting for him.

1143
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,000
And the movie didn't have to do that.

1144
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
And he ends up in the jail at the end of the film.

1145
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,000
He was the best person though.

1146
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,000
He was like the nicest guy.

1147
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,000
He didn't even say that much.

1148
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Yeah, that's true.

1149
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,000
He did nothing bad.

1150
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,000
Yeah.

1151
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,000
For Vicky.

1152
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Vicky Grover man.

1153
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Vicky Grover died first.

1154
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Our heart goes out for you.

1155
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,000
For one out for Vicky Grover.

1156
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,000
Down with Nandu.

1157
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Free Vicky Grover.

1158
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:05,000
Three cheers for Vicky Grover.

1159
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,000
Down with Nandu.

1160
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,000
So now that they've entered the finals right.

1161
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:16,000
So the team wanted Shahrukh Khan to tell that, to tell Mohini that they, she should be part of the plan.

1162
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Because at this point Mohini doesn't know that there's a heist happening.

1163
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,000
Yeah.

1164
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:28,000
And that's, this is the part where, again, here's another part that doesn't make sense to me because this is the part where we learned that

1165
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:34,000
Shahrukh Khan's father initially did not, was not just framed and imprisoned but that he committed suicide.

1166
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,000
He left out the suicide bid.

1167
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:41,000
And then they asked him, why did you leave that bid out? He said, oh, it's because you might lose motivation.

1168
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:50,000
I'm like, dude, if I hear that your friend's father died, of course you'd be like, it would instill more motivation, more anger.

1169
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Like, what is that?

1170
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Like, why wouldn't you say that?

1171
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Like, if, if you said, yeah, my father's dead, I'd be like, I wouldn't be like, oh, fuck this story.

1172
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,000
Like, I don't care anymore that he's dead.

1173
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,000
He's dead now.

1174
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,000
Well, now who cares?

1175
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Why let the revenge?

1176
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Yeah, people never do revenge over dead people. That's absurd.

1177
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:14,000
But I think that, that, that reveal right there is what made me join the team, I guess.

1178
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,000
I don't know.

1179
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,000
So they, they find out that, you know,

1180
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,000
But there was no English involved in this, in this convincing.

1181
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,000
I think that's only the romantic ink.

1182
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,000
That's only if you call her a whore, then you can use English.

1183
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Otherwise you can speak.

1184
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:31,000
But again, she confront, at that very, that same scene, she confronted the guys about it.

1185
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,000
And she's like, you lied to me.

1186
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:39,000
And there's always this kind of, this kind of back and forth between Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika is that like,

1187
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,000
he's always lying to her.

1188
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:50,000
Another thing is like, remember when she was like, saying that a, she was saying like, oh, why do you need to use the green room?

1189
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,000
And then he was like, oh, I'm meeting the.

1190
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,000
Some other girl.

1191
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Some other girl.

1192
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Yeah.

1193
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:00,000
And it's like, he's, and she's always, he's always like doing these like.

1194
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,000
He's a liar.

1195
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Cheater.

1196
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,000
And stuff.

1197
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:07,000
And it's like, like what Adam said before is like, you just, you're not rooting for this guy at all.

1198
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,000
No, he's a piece of shit.

1199
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,000
He's an asshole.

1200
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Anyway, the high scene.

1201
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:12,000
So fast.

1202
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Like the, so the finals are happening.

1203
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,000
There's the high scene.

1204
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:20,000
And the plan is that like Abhishek Brachan's character has to be in disguise as Vicky Grover.

1205
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:25,000
And they have, he has to go through another funny bit.

1206
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,000
The black cat commandos.

1207
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Who were trained by Mossad and KGB?

1208
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Yeah.

1209
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Like they're just standing there near the vault.

1210
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Oh yeah.

1211
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,000
Yeah.

1212
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:36,000
Just the context.

1213
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,000
So it's like 12 dudes on each side of a very long.

1214
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,000
So you're, imagine like a safe, you know, like admission impossible or something.

1215
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,000
And there's a very long hallway to get to the safe that's underground under this big casino,

1216
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,000
Oshas 11 style.

1217
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:52,000
And in this long hallway, it's just like, yeah, 12 dudes on each side staring at each other,

1218
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,000
hands behind their back.

1219
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,000
I don't know if they take shifts.

1220
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:00,000
If they're just staring at each other the whole time, if like one of them farts, what happens?

1221
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,000
Do they make small talk?

1222
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:03,000
Why are they staring ahead?

1223
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,000
You only kind of need one guy there.

1224
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:09,000
Cause if he sees, if anyone walks in the hall or not, you know, right, you just hit a button.

1225
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:13,000
I don't know why they need 12 guys permanently standing there the whole time.

1226
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:18,000
And like, I just, do they have doors that go in and out?

1227
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:24,000
It seems like a big security risk to be honest, but they just stand there probably like winking at each other.

1228
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:28,000
Seeing if they, you know, catch eyes with each other and then they go in the break room.

1229
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:33,000
And like the weird part about that whole bit is that you would expect at least,

1230
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:37,000
you would at least expect an action scene with these guys, but no, it's just.

1231
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,000
That would make sense.

1232
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Masat agents fist fighting perhaps would be nice.

1233
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,000
But no, he just walks right in the disguise work and that's all you see of them.

1234
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,000
No Krav Maga, no nothing.

1235
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,000
I don't understand what the point is.

1236
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Again, the worst is you set up this thing, there's no payoff.

1237
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:58,000
It's the worst decision you can make when you have a room full of like bodyguards to just do nothing with them.

1238
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:59,000
Yeah.

1239
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Yeah.

1240
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:05,000
It's like the filmmaker flipped Chekov's gun on its head.

1241
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Right.

1242
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Every gun they introduced is it doesn't go off.

1243
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,000
They die by stepping on a nail.

1244
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:17,000
So what that's happening while Abyshek's character is parading around as Vicky Grover,

1245
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:28,000
the others are going through the sewers, right, where you see like Jag's character is just like managing the pipes in all his topless glory.

1246
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,000
Shahrukh Khan is ripped by the way.

1247
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:37,000
And it looks like his abs are painted on like literally like we did things like I think they added definition to his abs.

1248
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Eight back abs.

1249
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:43,000
He is ripped for how old he is like he is in incredible shape.

1250
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,000
I did not like his facial hair though.

1251
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:52,000
The vault is vault closes down in five minutes.

1252
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,000
In five minutes.

1253
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,000
They waste the time right.

1254
01:07:54,000 --> 01:08:03,000
It closes and then like, you know, all seems lost but then you know, Shahrukh Khan and all his might,

1255
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:11,000
he pointed up to the vault, the top of the vault and it's like apparently the vault is under a manhole cover or something.

1256
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:12,000
Yeah.

1257
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:24,000
It's like all all Jack, all they had to do is let Jack like turn this valve and then like what what happens that the vault will be filled with water so that that will propel them onto the top of the vault.

1258
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Yeah, they're going to just swim up on the top and this just remove the lead and get out.

1259
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,000
And then this this is another thing that I didn't understand because like when they get to the top.

1260
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:50,000
So at this point, like the bad guys are aware that you know they're being they're being tricked right and then Shahrukh Khan brings out this like cover that like seals the vault right and the water just kind of like slowly.

1261
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:59,000
I think the jungle like turns the valve and then the water is it's but it doesn't make sense to me because like when they step in everything is so dry.

1262
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
No, that's because the it blew some air or something.

1263
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:12,000
So my point being like why do all this like why don't just use that path to come in getting the vault.

1264
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Take the diamonds out.

1265
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:21,000
Like why do you need to go from the other way like why don't you use your exit as your entrance as well.

1266
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:30,000
And then if that is an easy exit from that vault how is it like the safest vault in the whole planet or something like that.

1267
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:45,000
It wasn't like a fun like mission impossible style like physical feet that made sense right where it's like wow that's like incredible like a feet of strength or some like you know clever trick or anything like that you

1268
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:49,000
didn't like even Ocean's 11 you know they were being really smart I think.

1269
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Oh, this doesn't happen is a very smart and well made film.

1270
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:59,000
I think this is how they stole the money and get stuck in right so they came out they go out of that manhole and then.

1271
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:17,000
I guess the plan the boys plan was to like go to international waters by boat but then suddenly the everyone except Shahrukh Khan has a change of heart they were like we need to go back there for Mahini you know she wanted the fame she wanted to win the competition right their

1272
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:22,000
dance is up it's like their turn to dance but they're on a boat with the diamonds leaving.

1273
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:33,000
Right and then you know you have your typical like finale dance number and one by one the boys come back to dance and Mahini and then ultimately Shahrukh Khan comes back.

1274
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:51,000
And for whatever reason that sealed the deal for the competition that they ended up being the winners which by the way like maybe question things even more is like we didn't see anything else on that competition right the competition doesn't matter but like even though

1275
01:10:51,000 --> 01:11:02,000
they didn't they didn't have talent or anything this is this this one particular dance puts them as the winners of the dance to the India.

1276
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,000
So India.

1277
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:09,000
It's a very good one.

1278
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:29,000
Yeah so they won't they win and the bad guys were framed the bad guys were framed and then like Shahrukh Khan just thinks that smuggling the diamonds in the he like he wanted the plan was to smuggle the drinks through the diamonds through the

1279
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,000
airport with by just putting them in the drinks.

1280
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Yeah and everything was to all that was the most infuriating scene I've ever seen.

1281
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:51,000
Okay we have to talk about that briefly. Yeah so like at first the plan was to like once they get the diamonds Shahrukh Khan Shahrukh Khan actually believes that by putting the diamonds in a drink going through airport security it will be a flawless plan.

1282
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,000
No.

1283
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Yeah so the plan is he takes it and we've all been through it.

1284
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Okay but this is when we realize who the audience for this movie was by the way.

1285
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,000
So.

1286
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,000
So Winnie.

1287
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:09,000
So here this plan. So there's this guy will have a drink with like ice cubes that are diamonds or something right.

1288
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:27,000
The lids open he's drinking with the straw he goes through the x-ray machine with the drink that he sets the drink down on the table for them to like you know x-ray him then he grabs the drink and just keeps walking.

1289
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Do you think that that is a logical thing or do you think that's possible.

1290
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,000
In Bollywood world anything is possible.

1291
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:40,000
But like we've all traveled and we know that's the first thing they do get rid of that drink.

1292
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:51,000
You cannot trick the security guard and by the way they just did a thing 95% of the test they do a TSA fail like it's very easy to sneak stuff through TSA.

1293
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:58,000
They have a 95% failure rate but to but but the one thing they do not miss is you and drinks.

1294
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:07,000
They will make you toss that instantly and you cannot just put it behind the security guy and then grab it once he's done and keep walking.

1295
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:08,000
That's not happening.

1296
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Your diamonds are gone.

1297
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:21,000
But then because they put so little faith into the audience and into their movie and so little research into even Korea.

1298
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:29,000
They I think this audience is people that do not travel and would not even know that that is not the case.

1299
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:37,000
How did it work so well in outside of because if you've traveled you clearly like that is just clearly bullshit.

1300
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:49,000
So I found out that it was just you know sharkans plan but then at the end of the movie right they attempted that for real and it goes about as you expect it didn't go through like the security just asked them to throw away all the diamonds.

1301
01:13:49,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Oh so in the end they had to throw away on the yeah yeah it was no but the dot I didn't get there yet I didn't get there yet yeah so it's like they had to throw away all the diamonds it's like I don't understand what the point that that is like the stoop like you come up with an elaborate plan and that is the only.

1302
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:19,000
Like if you have an elaborate plan to steal from the most protected safe in the world and then you can't and you think you can then carry them into an open container through through security at the airport is crazy.

1303
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:31,000
I don't like movies like that where like it's so frustrating to watch because they go through so much they finally get there you think that is a happy ending and then another stupid decision leads to another disaster.

1304
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:36,000
But there is a silver lining at the end of it.

1305
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:43,000
So they had to throw away the diamonds but the trophy that they want from the dance competition has more diamonds embedded.

1306
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:50,000
No actually the trophy that has the diamonds they were not the actual diamonds.

1307
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:55,000
Yeah so he replaced those those stone with diamonds he stole.

1308
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:59,000
So that's how he actually smuggled that real diamond.

1309
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:03,000
Oh so those diamonds that was thrown away with the water was not real.

1310
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,000
They were from the trophies.

1311
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,000
Oh my god.

1312
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:26,000
So I think what this film was doing it kind of wanted to me make fun of itself and make a goofy film like a Borderlands roof or something but it fails miserably in that and becomes actual ISO and like.

1313
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:36,000
Yeah it laughs at you like it laughs at you for even trying to watch this film like it's like oh you're stupid for watching me like like that way.

1314
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,000
I feel really stupid questioning it.

1315
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Like what is even the point was there a countdown in the movie.

1316
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,000
No it was not a countdown and there you go.

1317
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:48,000
I think that's all you need to know the movie is called Happy New Year.

1318
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,000
It was released in October.

1319
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,000
There's no countdown.

1320
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,000
There's no reason to watch this film for New Year.

1321
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,000
It has nothing to do with New Year.

1322
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,000
They don't give any resolutions.

1323
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:58,000
They don't even mention it.

1324
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,000
It's really weird.

1325
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,000
There's no Happy New Year song.

1326
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,000
You think there might be.

1327
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,000
It would be a huge hit right.

1328
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:09,000
Wouldn't they play a huge shower con song about Happy New Year when they play that every New Year.

1329
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,000
They had an opportunity with the movie called Happy New Year.

1330
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:13,000
They didn't do it.

1331
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:18,000
Is there any point in the movie where they actually say the phrasing Happy New Year where they wish each other Happy New Year.

1332
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:22,000
The host the whole actually the hosts leading up to the finals.

1333
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,000
The host was like this is going to be one Happy New Year.

1334
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,000
That's it.

1335
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:31,000
So no it had the same amount of screen time as someone saying North Korea.

1336
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,000
North Korea probably got more screen time.

1337
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,000
Then Happy New Year.

1338
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,000
Like why did they choose that name?

1339
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,000
Well because nobody would watch a movie named North Korea.

1340
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:45,000
I mean sure I don't know if those are the two options.

1341
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:50,000
Call it anything else but like if you're good call a Happy New Year.

1342
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,000
Commit slightly.

1343
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,000
You know make it a reason to watch it for the countdown.

1344
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,000
Have a countdown song perhaps.

1345
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,000
Think about the number of people who watched the movie.

1346
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:03,000
The same reason we did just because of the fact that it's called New Year.

1347
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:04,000
Happy New Year.

1348
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,000
You didn't have to trick them is my point.

1349
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,000
Like you can and everyone has a bad taste in their mouth.

1350
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,000
When you have this huge cast in this film.

1351
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,000
Like Farakhan does this thing like right.

1352
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:19,000
Like she does this match up of many multi-star films.

1353
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Like she makes this multi-star films.

1354
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:32,000
And which are all like very goofy, very over the top fun, stupid, idiotic characters and stuff like that.

1355
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,000
But this is good.

1356
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Like this trumps all of them.

1357
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Like this is like the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

1358
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,000
No, not the weirdest thing.

1359
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:44,000
Like this is really weird.

1360
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:48,000
This film is like why did it even exist?

1361
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:55,000
Like this film would grow consciousness and like have existential crisis one day.

1362
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,000
I think so.

1363
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Like it's so, so blatantly weird.

1364
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:05,000
So the fact that this movie is one of the highest grossing Bollywood films when it was released.

1365
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,000
What does that say about us?

1366
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,000
Us?

1367
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000
I didn't watch it.

1368
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,000
It doesn't say anything.

1369
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:13,000
You said you watched it.

1370
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,000
You were lying the whole time.

1371
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:16,000
I knew that.

1372
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,000
You were saying that just now.

1373
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,000
I torrented it or something.

1374
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Like I never paid money to watch this film.

1375
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,000
So I didn't contribute to its revenue.

1376
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,000
I think people just, you know, they see the cast list.

1377
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,000
It's called New Year, right?

1378
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Like I mean anyone would see that cast.

1379
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:39,000
And then I think the name just because it is English probably did made it do well overseas and tricked a bunch of other people as well.

1380
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:45,000
We should read the Wikipedia page like the reviews that people gave.

1381
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,000
I love the reviews.

1382
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,000
They called it Ocean's Eleven written by baboons.

1383
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Well, when I read the description, I was hoping it would be something like step up.

1384
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Maybe step up meets Ocean Eleven.

1385
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:02,000
But then kind of like what you said Adam, where at no point in the movie is the emphasis on them actually getting good at dancing.

1386
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,000
They never approve.

1387
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,000
They just do homophobic ballet jokes and then still suck at it.

1388
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,000
The only reason they win is yeah, because they saved that kid.

1389
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,000
So it doesn't really teach you anything good.

1390
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,000
It doesn't have good dance.

1391
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,000
It doesn't have anything to do with New Year's.

1392
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Because of that, I'm going to have to say I don't recommend.

1393
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,000
What about you, Nikki? Would you recommend?

1394
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:41,000
So there was one thing that we missed in our first viewing is that the end credits has like this after credits post credit scenes where Farrakhan is actually giving out awards to the cast and crew.

1395
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:52,000
And like the person that like she was saying like third place goes to the dance choreographer second place goes to our editors first place goes to our camera crew.

1396
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,000
It was literally like that.

1397
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:59,000
It was like circle jerking like self congratulatory like bullshit.

1398
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:00,000
Look at how good we did.

1399
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:14,000
And like, you know, my the very last scene actually sums up my thoughts of the movie. It has it's a scene where Farrakhan has her children push her into the vault and the children use the vault and locks her in.

1400
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,000
That's how it ends.

1401
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:20,000
And my thoughts is that Farrakhan should just stay in the vault.

1402
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:30,000
That is so stupid. That is literally the stupidest thing ever.

1403
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:40,000
We forgot to at the very end, like there was a scene where post credit scene where she was giving out awards to the cast and crew of Happy New Year.

1404
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:53,000
And it's like at the very end, it's like her children just push her into the ball and then the children just locks locks the ball and then starts dancing and then the end comes across and then you can hear Farrakhan say, are my children outside dancing.

1405
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:57,000
It was literally there. You can go check it right now. It's just so it's just there.

1406
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:01,000
Do you think this is an admission of the fact that they know the movie is terrible?

1407
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They wanted to make a spoofy like a goofy film, but it ended up being like they're not successful in that.

1408
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:21,000
It became like a stupid idiotic thing. It's not like, oh, I'm laughing at it because it's it's making fun of Bollywood by being smart or like, you know, it's a spoof.

1409
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:36,000
It's not like I mean, first, first definitely the film, those the scary film is a spoof film. Like it's funny because it's making fun of the crops of like the horror films and there are spoof films in India as well.

1410
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:41,000
But this is this is a spoof that doesn't work. It's a spoof of itself.

1411
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,000
I mean, basically funny for all the reasons.

1412
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:51,000
It's not a spoof because they don't they're not funny. It's not trying to be. I just think they don't care.

1413
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:55,000
And zero lessons were learned because the gigantic box office success.

1414
01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:00,000
So is it kind of a movie kind of like what's that Michael Sarah film?

1415
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:11,000
No, no, Michael Sarah like against the superheroes or something where there's all fighting and it's very cartoonish.

1416
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Yeah, Scott Pilgrim versus the world. So is it kind of like that because I remember watching when I the one hour I watched it was all like cartoonish fight scenes, like smoke coming out of the ears, little bubbles with like Pam and things like

1417
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:43,000
that. So I think that Pilgrim is a much better film. This brings me to one of the reviews. I open the Wikipedia to read it. So me here for the novice first post said the movie looks and feels like a home video project that was intended for appreciation by precisely

1418
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,000
two people in the entire universe. Farah and Shahrukh Khan.

1419
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:59,000
That's really nailed it. Yeah. Well, I but again, this is the benefit of not listening to Kelly for movies. Sometimes we would have never found this if it was up to him.

1420
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:07,000
So I'm looking forward to having more films not chosen by him in the future. We'll see how this power struggle continues.

1421
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:24,000
We should have once doomed. Okay, do you guys regret watching this movie? Not at all. So thank you, Winnie. I want to say like I this is really honestly me speaking is like I never was able to discern what makes a good or bad Bollywood movie.

1422
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:31,000
But after watching Happy New Year, I can now finally see what makes a bad Bollywood movie. I understand that.

1423
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:40,000
It's my pleasure to deliver the worst of Bollywood for you. Thank you. We're going to use your Google skills in the future for more movies.

1424
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Thank you, everyone. Any closing thoughts? Yeah. Farah Khan, please stay in that hall.

1425
01:23:49,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Yeah, I have like I wish you all of you guys a very happy new year and stay tuned for more and amazing film analysis and very, very knowledgeable discussion on Indian films. Yeah, thank you guys.

1426
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:11,000
Yeah, it's not it hasn't happened this year, but next year for sure we'll start doing that.

1427
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:20,000
All right, bye. Bye.

1428
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:44,000
