WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.620 I saw a movie in the movie theater recently and 00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:05.860 I had a phone experience. Uh, it was just like 00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:08.380 the theater was pretty empty, but it was me and, 00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:09.880 uh, my girlfriend and we were sitting watching 00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:12.720 the movie, but there's these guys like in the 00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.839 front row and they were, I don't know where they 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:16.559 were from, but they were talking the whole time 00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:18.640 and they were both on their phones and like their 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.760 phones are like brightly lit and like, I could 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.500 see them like on Tinder and stuff. And they were 00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:27.420 just on their like dating apps and chatting with 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:29.800 each other the whole time. And they were like 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.760 trying to be quiet, but it was super loud still. 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.679 And like the screen is so bright, you know, like 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.219 you could see it. You could see it from anywhere. 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.520 So I did. It was the first time I've ever done 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.840 this, but like halfway through, I did like on 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:42.479 my way to the bathroom, I walked up to them and 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.039 was like, guys, we can see everything and hear 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.280 everything. Can you not? And yeah, they they 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.119 looked at me and turned it down. And that was 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.899 nice. That was the first time I've ever done 00:00:52.899 --> 00:00:55.200 that, though. I bring this up because we talked 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.929 about it last time, the movie theater. Oh yeah, 00:00:58.109 --> 00:00:59.950 I've done it in the very first 10 minutes. Oh, 00:00:59.950 --> 00:01:01.109 because Killy does that. No, because Killy was 00:01:01.109 --> 00:01:02.609 on his phone and talking when I was watching 00:01:02.609 --> 00:01:04.109 the last movie with him. Because so Killy likes 00:01:04.109 --> 00:01:06.209 to read the Wikipedia of the movie that we're 00:01:06.209 --> 00:01:08.109 watching. Oh, I know. So he does that in the 00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:09.250 movie theater, I guess. I would watch a shitty 00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:12.409 movie like Final Destination for sure, yeah, 00:01:12.409 --> 00:01:13.969 but not for the good ones. But are you saying 00:01:13.969 --> 00:01:16.069 you would have gone up and told them to? Yeah. 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.620 but you're the guy that does mine was not that 00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:23.780 bright no but my no it is very bright the dark 00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:25.939 theater like i could see everything what movie 00:01:25.939 --> 00:01:28.579 were you watching uh 28 years later all right 00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:31.459 that's a serious film man it's not a uh funny 00:01:31.459 --> 00:01:35.239 film like so killy was doing that for final destination 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.099 apparently that's a funny movie but don't worry 00:01:37.099 --> 00:01:38.579 killy would be the first one to tell someone 00:01:38.579 --> 00:01:40.920 to stop doing that if it wasn't him yeah of course 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:56.310 be the change you want to see in the world Welcome 00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:59.310 to Fear of Stairs, Desi Films decoded. The podcast 00:01:59.310 --> 00:02:00.930 where four friends from different backgrounds 00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:03.609 unlock the world of Desi cinema. I'm Winnie, 00:02:03.650 --> 00:02:06.489 the Desi who's never been to India. Hi, I'm Killy. 00:02:06.549 --> 00:02:10.270 I'm from India. I love films. My name is Nicky 00:02:10.270 --> 00:02:12.810 and I'm okay. Okay. All right. I'll stop without 00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:17.289 the racism. My name is Nicky. I'm from Thailand 00:02:17.289 --> 00:02:19.569 and I think a Thai version of Forrest Gump is 00:02:19.569 --> 00:02:23.229 a bad idea. Yeah, I think a Thai version of Forrest 00:02:23.229 --> 00:02:27.020 Gump would suck. I'm Adam. I'm the American movie 00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:30.539 buff. And yeah, welcome to Fear of Stairs. What 00:02:30.539 --> 00:02:34.259 movie did we watch? Well, there's, I mean, my 00:02:34.259 --> 00:02:37.439 introduction gave it away. We're doing the Indian 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.699 adaptation of Forrest Gump, Lal Singh Chadha. 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.439 And from my quick research, it was actually a 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.340 flop, a box office flop. Yeah, big bomb. I was 00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:54.080 kind of surprised to learn that too. So One thing, 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.099 you know, there's often like a lot of like Indian 00:02:56.099 --> 00:02:58.300 spinoffs, right? Or like remakes or something. 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.939 But this one was officially licensed. So like 00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:04.379 the studio Paramount that made the original Forrest 00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:07.280 Gump like produce this. It has the original screenwriter 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.860 on board as well. So like this is like an official. 00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:12.800 This is a big deal. And I think it's kind of 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.520 where that this movie bombed as well, because 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:18.280 Forrest Gump was Paramount's highest grossing 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.560 film until Transformers. Like it was their biggest 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.860 blockbuster ever. It made like 400 million dollars 00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:29.639 just domestically Tom Hanks got an Oscar It was 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.319 a huge huge Hit, you know, they did a whole bunch 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.539 of restaurants the bubblegum shrimp Restaurants 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:38.699 came from that movie, right? So it makes sense 00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:43.139 to like redo it and You know with Paramount's 00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:44.759 blessing and stuff. It's a big deal and you have 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.139 a big star Mr. Zameer Khan and stuff, but it 00:03:47.139 --> 00:03:52.629 was a bomb so I, well, after we watched this, 00:03:52.689 --> 00:03:54.550 I watched the original Forrest Gump to try to 00:03:54.550 --> 00:03:56.569 figure out like why. And I have two theories 00:03:56.569 --> 00:03:59.990 and then we can go into the plot. So the first 00:03:59.990 --> 00:04:04.270 one is the original Forrest Gump is very like 00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:07.449 reprehensible in terms of like its plot. Like 00:04:07.449 --> 00:04:11.409 it is a very, uh, conservative movie. And the 00:04:11.409 --> 00:04:13.310 basic lessons, if you guys remember the plot 00:04:13.310 --> 00:04:18.319 is like, if you care about anything, Like Lieutenant 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.759 Dan does, he's very patriotic, and he's trying 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.680 to fight for something above himself. If you 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.860 care about anything like that, or if you have 00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:29.439 a dream and try to achieve it, like Jenny does, 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.399 she wants to be a musician and really fights 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.079 for her dream, if you do anything like that, 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.860 you will be punished. Your life is cursed, you 00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:42.319 will die miserable. like like life will just 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.040 like rain down terror on you if you try anything 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.459 like this. However, if you're someone like Forrest 00:04:47.459 --> 00:04:50.980 Gump, who just kind of nods his head and doesn't 00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:53.759 really question anything, there's a lot of absurd 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.600 things that happen because of the timeline of 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.379 that film. It's like, you know, it goes through 00:04:57.379 --> 00:05:00.540 the 60s and ends. The movie was released in 1994. 00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:03.060 You know, they go through all these different 00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:05.459 presidential assassinations and stuff, and it's 00:05:05.459 --> 00:05:06.980 just always in the background like he doesn't 00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:11.079 really question anything. When they he's on the 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.139 steps of the Washington Monument and he's asked 00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:14.839 to give his thoughts on the Vietnam War that 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.120 he was in he he doesn't say anything the audience 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.560 can't hear it like they do a thing in the movie 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.779 were like These guys like remove his microphone. 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.420 So no one hears what he says So you never hear 00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:26.600 his stance on anything, but basically if you 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.899 just nod along really good things will happen 00:05:28.899 --> 00:05:31.079 for you You'll get really rich. So just shut 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.819 the fuck up and just you know, don't question 00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:37.240 stuff and you'll be fine Okay, so the message 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.560 is not great The other problem with the movie 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:45.079 is that the main character is like slow You know 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.959 and to quote Tropic Thunder like you never go 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.240 full retard, right? And then and but he mentions 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.000 Forrest Gump like Forrest Gump never went full 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.040 retard He was slow, but he's not like stupid 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.220 and and and Forrest Gump is just a slow guy if 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:02.500 I realized after watching this new movie that 00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:05.680 I have immense respect for Tom Hanks as an actor 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.040 now like I do not think this role is possible. 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.439 Yeah, unless you're Tom Hanks. It wouldn't fly 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.259 right today. It wouldn't fly at any time. But 00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:18.759 the movie still holds up in terms of that character, 00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:20.839 the original one, because Tom Hanks is an incredible 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.720 actor. He can he's just can convey so much through 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.279 his eyes, through his emotions. He knows exactly 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.360 like how to handle a character. And I really 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.620 think that like. I don't think any other actor 00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:34.720 could possibly touch this type of role. We see 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.180 what happens when someone else does. So I think 00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:39.319 the one reason why this movie didn't do well 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.000 is just straight up it's not Tom Hanks. I showed 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.959 you guys those two clips. I think the thing that 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.860 defines the acting gap here is so this movie 00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:51.779 which we'll get to is the same exact plot as 00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:53.240 Forrest Gump. So if you've seen Forrest Gump, 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:58.120 we'll go through it. But he meets his son and 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:02.490 when Tom Hanks Is meeting the sun like I do tear 00:07:02.490 --> 00:07:05.870 up at that scene. Like he sees his son. He says 00:07:05.870 --> 00:07:08.589 very few words and you can just see like his 00:07:08.589 --> 00:07:11.329 inner monologue the whole time and he pulls it 00:07:11.329 --> 00:07:13.649 off and the line he says when he first sees his 00:07:13.649 --> 00:07:16.970 son is is he smart or and then he gets choked 00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:20.230 up and can't finish the sentence, right? But 00:07:20.230 --> 00:07:25.410 in the new one you see it and. I mean, a mere 00:07:25.410 --> 00:07:28.730 conscious isn't Tom Hanks and that scene does 00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:31.089 not. he doesn't pull off that scene it's not 00:07:31.089 --> 00:07:34.089 the same and I think the big giveaway too is 00:07:34.089 --> 00:07:38.189 when he says um is he smart or is he like me 00:07:38.189 --> 00:07:40.230 like he keeps having to add words because he 00:07:40.230 --> 00:07:43.670 can't act act it you know and whenever you can't 00:07:43.670 --> 00:07:45.350 act something you have to just keep adding words 00:07:45.350 --> 00:07:48.329 and so that I that's like I noticed that so hard 00:07:48.329 --> 00:07:51.470 was like he has to explain it so that we get 00:07:51.470 --> 00:07:55.149 it Tom Hanks doesn't need to do that and he just 00:07:55.149 --> 00:07:57.129 can't pull off that type of scene and I literally 00:07:57.129 --> 00:08:02.120 don't think many people can Now the bigger I 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.180 think flop issue because Amir Khan still a big 00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:06.759 star he sells out movies so that shouldn't be 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.319 the bigger issue but Forrest Gump again was released 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:15.000 in 1994 and The Cold War just kind of ended and 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.139 it was a big boomer victory lap President Clinton 00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:21.220 was in office since 92 everyone in that boomer 00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:23.339 generation was getting into positions of power, 00:08:23.860 --> 00:08:26.480 you know Tom Hanks and the director Robert Zemeckis 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.699 for boomers as well like and the whole movie 00:08:29.699 --> 00:08:34.620 is about the boomers experience in America leading 00:08:34.620 --> 00:08:36.860 up to the point where the whole world is presented 00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:40.639 to them on a platter. It's America's for the 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.379 taking and the boomers are the ones in those 00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:45.240 positions of power to take advantage of it. I 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.379 think it was a huge hit because it's a big galvanizing 00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:50.879 movie about a very important time period that 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.480 a very influential generational experience at 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:58.429 the same time. you know, tumultuous. Like there 00:08:58.429 --> 00:09:00.950 were tons of assassinations and you did have 00:09:00.950 --> 00:09:03.309 the Vietnam War. You had a lot of change and 00:09:03.309 --> 00:09:06.769 a lot of technological upheaval and it culminates 00:09:06.769 --> 00:09:10.070 with the boomers winning out. And the boomers 00:09:10.070 --> 00:09:11.809 are inherently pretty conservative, right? And 00:09:11.809 --> 00:09:13.629 that message I think does resonate with them 00:09:13.629 --> 00:09:18.090 a bit. And so that movie was just a big victory 00:09:18.090 --> 00:09:19.990 lap for them. Like we did it, we own the world. 00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:24.149 This movie So not just you don't have Tom Hanks 00:09:24.149 --> 00:09:26.669 as an actor, but this movie coming out in 2002 00:09:26.669 --> 00:09:33.769 is sorry. Thank you. 2022 number one. No one 00:09:33.769 --> 00:09:36.870 has that type of galvanizing generational thing 00:09:36.870 --> 00:09:39.450 that the boomers experienced in the 60s. And 00:09:39.450 --> 00:09:42.450 India is not in a place in 2022 where like they 00:09:42.450 --> 00:09:44.269 own the world now and they're doing a big victory 00:09:44.269 --> 00:09:46.929 lap. And it's not due to a bunch of series of 00:09:46.929 --> 00:09:50.029 events that led them to there either. So I don't 00:09:50.029 --> 00:09:53.980 think they have the same like uniform, hegemonic, 00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:55.720 like view of history that the boomers did at 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.039 that time. And the other very important part 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:02.440 is that, like I said, like Forrest Gump has no 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.700 political opinions. He doesn't say anything about 00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:08.440 the Vietnam War in the movie presence. He meets 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.720 multiple presidents from different parties. They 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.879 mean nothing to him. It's a very apolitical movie 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.259 for a very political time. Besides, like, it's 00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:19.750 very conservative message. But this. new one, 00:10:19.909 --> 00:10:22.929 Lost in Chata is very explicitly political. So 00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:25.149 there's no way it can be galvanizing because 00:10:25.149 --> 00:10:27.169 people are going to take issue with it no matter 00:10:27.169 --> 00:10:31.129 what, no matter what side you're on. And so now 00:10:31.129 --> 00:10:32.809 we can like kind of get into it. But those are 00:10:32.809 --> 00:10:36.690 the two things that I think like, why would this 00:10:36.690 --> 00:10:38.549 kind of exact same movie be the biggest hit in 00:10:38.549 --> 00:10:42.529 the world? You know, then and now it's just a 00:10:42.529 --> 00:10:44.250 huge bomb and no one really connects with it. 00:10:44.350 --> 00:10:47.090 And so anyways, those are my two thoughts going 00:10:47.090 --> 00:10:50.450 into this. Yeah, so I would think that if they 00:10:50.450 --> 00:10:55.669 did the huge political upheaval that they were 00:10:55.669 --> 00:11:00.230 showing was around when the BJP came to power, 00:11:00.490 --> 00:11:02.509 like before that Anna Hazare movement and stuff 00:11:02.509 --> 00:11:05.870 like that, we'll go get into it. uh so if the 00:11:05.870 --> 00:11:08.289 film would have come out around that point of 00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:10.990 time it might have had that impact but by the 00:11:10.990 --> 00:11:14.210 time 2022 people are already forgotten about 00:11:14.210 --> 00:11:19.029 it and realize that how what what a crappy movement 00:11:19.029 --> 00:11:23.590 that was so that even doesn't ring any you know 00:11:23.590 --> 00:11:27.690 bell to Indian subconscious and so I think I 00:11:27.690 --> 00:11:30.370 think I think that's that's a big point that 00:11:30.370 --> 00:11:33.509 and I heard somewhere that this film was being 00:11:33.509 --> 00:11:35.929 about to be released like long back and then 00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:38.529 they keep on pushing the release date I mean 00:11:38.529 --> 00:11:41.190 they it was supposed to be released before COVID 00:11:41.190 --> 00:11:44.009 for sure and then the COVID happened and I think 00:11:44.009 --> 00:11:47.820 it was released in like during Covid time, so 00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:52.220 the theatre options were less and then it was 00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:55.539 mostly released on OTT and then of course OTT 00:11:55.539 --> 00:11:58.519 doesn't make much money. So I think that those 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.639 things were also played a huge role in this film 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.539 becoming not a very successful one. And then 00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:08.580 also I feel that people know about Forrest Gump 00:12:08.580 --> 00:12:13.379 a lot and it's a very substantially different 00:12:13.379 --> 00:12:18.840 level of filmmaking and then uh forrest gump 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:23.399 already had a huge fan base so it's always up 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.879 for comparison it's like a taste that it cannot 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.659 pass kind of thing but anyway yeah yeah let's 00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:34.639 wait before that um no i think adam has a point 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:36.779 about the acting because it was a box office 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:39.269 flop But like critical reception wise, it received 00:12:39.269 --> 00:12:41.350 mixed reviews. It was not completely panned by 00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:43.870 critics. But one point that critics did point 00:12:43.870 --> 00:12:46.289 out was Amir Khan's acting and they found it 00:12:46.289 --> 00:12:49.429 over exaggerated or repetitive. So I think that 00:12:49.429 --> 00:12:51.929 is an important point. And this is the first 00:12:51.929 --> 00:12:53.769 time where I'll kind of tend to agree with it. 00:12:53.769 --> 00:12:56.230 I love Amir Khan, but this is probably the third 00:12:56.230 --> 00:12:58.730 movie we've watched now where he's acting kind 00:12:58.730 --> 00:13:00.850 of like in a bit of a retarded manner. There 00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:02.950 was PK and then there's this and you kind of 00:13:02.950 --> 00:13:05.149 see the repetition going in. It starts kind of 00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:07.960 losing that raw emotion. that we got out of Tom 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.779 Hanks. And another interesting point was that 00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:12.620 they took like 10 years to write the script, 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.039 which was really mind -blowing for me, because 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.980 it's so similar to Forrest, right? There's like 00:13:18.980 --> 00:13:21.360 almost no creativity. I mean, it's nice that 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:23.279 it sticks to the source material, but you still 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.440 expect a bit of creative expression. And I think 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.860 this movie kind of lacks that in a way. Yeah, 00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:32.500 the acting, just to harp on that too, like rewatching 00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:36.460 the original, Yeah, like, Forrest Gump is slow, 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:40.259 but through Tom Hanks' acting, like, he always 00:13:40.259 --> 00:13:42.600 has, like, a reason for doing something. Like, 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.799 and you can always see his reason for doing something. 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:46.320 Again, he's such a good actor that he doesn't 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.279 need a lot of words, but he has motivation and, 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.899 like, an interiority, so he's not retarded. He's 00:13:51.899 --> 00:13:56.000 not. And, like, he has desires and, like, he 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.480 has opinions and stuff. But in this one, he... 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.980 Amir Khan plays like a dummy that just does whatever 00:14:00.980 --> 00:14:04.299 he's told at all times and never really like 00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:08.200 has his own character, you know, grappling with 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:12.440 things. And so he did go full retard on the one. 00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:14.460 You know in the one movie that really pulled 00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:17.399 it off the last time I think it failed because 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.299 of box of golgappas No one no one in india carries 00:14:22.299 --> 00:14:25.419 golgappa in a box Which is weird because in america 00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:27.539 everyone carries a box of chocolate so that would 00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:29.980 like really hit home. No, nobody cares I mean 00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:32.059 no box of chocolate is a reality. It is a real 00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:34.519 thing Yeah, but box of golgappa is not a real 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:36.580 thing. It's like life is like a box of chocolates 00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:38.440 You won't know what you're gonna get the one 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.600 that golgappa one is like you said you don't 00:14:40.299 --> 00:14:42.340 carry Gokkapa in a box. And this whole thing 00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:44.759 about how even if your belly is full, sometimes 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:46.879 your heart is not full. Like, I did not understand 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:47.860 that at all. That makes no sense. That's nothing 00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:51.120 to do with that dish. The food plot as well. 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.220 Yeah. And can you explain what that dish is, 00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:56.139 by the way, for listeners? Gokkapa or Pani Puri, 00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:58.120 I think. I noticed Pani Puri. I didn't notice 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.500 the other one. I mean, it's a little ball, cracker 00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:04.059 thing. You make a hole, you put some potato in, 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.090 you put some... Like green spicy chutney and 00:15:07.090 --> 00:15:09.129 a bit of tamarind sauce and it's kind of like 00:15:09.129 --> 00:15:11.429 it explodes in your mouth a bunch of flavors 00:15:11.429 --> 00:15:13.409 It's really tasty. It's one of my favorite foods 00:15:13.409 --> 00:15:15.970 It's a very common street food in india But also 00:15:15.970 --> 00:15:18.029 notorious for causing food poisoning if your 00:15:18.029 --> 00:15:21.389 stomach is not used to the food in india I think 00:15:21.389 --> 00:15:22.950 that's why they took 10 years. They're trying 00:15:22.950 --> 00:15:26.730 to figure out what can we do? Well, that's the 00:15:26.730 --> 00:15:29.110 other that's the other problem is like you you 00:15:29.110 --> 00:15:31.009 know when if you're doing it 10 years ago or 00:15:31.009 --> 00:15:33.389 or more recent you have to map out the timeline 00:15:33.389 --> 00:15:36.509 of events and like And the original Forrest Gump, 00:15:36.629 --> 00:15:38.330 like there was a very easy timeline to follow, 00:15:38.330 --> 00:15:41.269 right? Cause it, you know, it's up until like 00:15:41.269 --> 00:15:43.669 the nineties and you know, there's these set 00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:45.870 of historical events that led to this moment. 00:15:45.970 --> 00:15:47.470 That all is all very clear. But if you're doing 00:15:47.470 --> 00:15:49.850 it in India in random times, then you have to 00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:52.990 like find a war. So like we see the movie struggle 00:15:52.990 --> 00:15:54.830 with that. Like you have to find a war that maps 00:15:54.830 --> 00:15:57.529 onto the Vietnam war and you have to like find 00:15:57.529 --> 00:16:01.009 a company like Bubba gum shrimp that like maps 00:16:01.009 --> 00:16:06.480 onto this time period too. It just doesn't Translate 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.840 also a timeline was like the war happened so 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:13.159 long back and then like in 1996 or seven and 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:16.340 then the last part of the films happening in 00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:21.659 2012 13 like after all these years Yeah, and 00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:24.379 yeah, anyway, I think we should get in this Let's 00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:27.120 get into we can get into the specific plot Well, 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.019 the thing is I'm just gonna add in a little bit 00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:31.940 just like I was thinking that you know coming 00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:34.830 from Thailand it's like We learn a lot about 00:16:34.830 --> 00:16:37.970 Western history, right? So when we watch Forrest 00:16:37.970 --> 00:16:42.470 Gump, we tend to recognize the events that Forrest 00:16:42.470 --> 00:16:45.610 encounters, basically. But with this movie, it's 00:16:45.610 --> 00:16:49.950 like I was so lost, man. Like I had no idea with 00:16:49.950 --> 00:16:52.090 Indian history. I guess, you know, it's just, 00:16:52.090 --> 00:16:53.450 you know, it can't be helped. Like we don't learn 00:16:53.450 --> 00:16:55.809 that sort of thing. So I actually had to have 00:16:55.809 --> 00:16:58.570 Keely guide me through the entire movie where 00:16:58.570 --> 00:17:01.950 he does like long explanations. You know, I'm 00:17:01.950 --> 00:17:04.950 going to try my best covering the points in the 00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:07.490 story. And if I fumble somewhere along the way, 00:17:07.569 --> 00:17:09.269 you guys can help me out. Yeah, Kelly, we're 00:17:09.269 --> 00:17:12.650 going to lean on Kelly a lot for this one. Before 00:17:12.650 --> 00:17:14.269 we break in, I just want to ask to Kelly, did 00:17:14.269 --> 00:17:16.130 you see this movie or was it a thing like the 00:17:16.130 --> 00:17:18.470 people talk about this at all? I mean, people 00:17:18.470 --> 00:17:21.109 know like who watch Hollywood films and people 00:17:21.109 --> 00:17:24.869 who watch Hollywood classics. Uh, they everyone 00:17:24.869 --> 00:17:27.230 knows forest gump. Yeah, actually that's right 00:17:27.230 --> 00:17:29.589 The reason that we even got to this movie was 00:17:29.589 --> 00:17:32.049 because my friend my high school friend irman. 00:17:32.089 --> 00:17:34.930 He's he recommended me this movie He said there 00:17:34.930 --> 00:17:37.150 is an indian version of forest gump, but then 00:17:37.150 --> 00:17:39.829 I asked him is it good? He's like, I don't like 00:17:39.829 --> 00:17:43.730 it He does not like it and he seek as well. So 00:17:43.730 --> 00:17:46.920 I don't know Shout out to Nerman. I owe you my 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:49.779 life forever. I'll never forget you, Nerman. 00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:53.980 I love you. Number one fan. And it was so funny. 00:17:55.169 --> 00:17:57.769 Months later, I told him, so if I finally watched 00:17:57.769 --> 00:17:59.329 it and he was like, oh, why did you watch it 00:17:59.329 --> 00:18:01.029 for the podcast? And he was like, you're doing 00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:05.710 a podcast. Are you serious? So you're just watching 00:18:05.710 --> 00:18:08.210 it for fun. We were watching Indian movies for 00:18:08.210 --> 00:18:11.009 fun. I would never watch Indian movies for fun. 00:18:11.009 --> 00:18:14.549 Oh, my God. Never in a million years. He's joking. 00:18:14.650 --> 00:18:20.880 He loves Indian movies. So yeah, it follows the 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.519 same plot as Forrest Gump. You have this... Amir 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.220 Khan plays this guy named Lal. I mean, his name, 00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:32.079 Lal Chadha, right? And it plays out scene for 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:36.599 scene. But instead of a park, he's in a train 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.400 with some people, and that's where he narrates 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:42.480 his story of events. Which I want to say is the 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.859 one big improvement. I think being on the train 00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:48.700 just visually, it's way cooler when people are 00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:50.779 chatting on the plane or on a train and also 00:18:50.779 --> 00:18:52.920 people are stuck with him. So they have to listen. 00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:55.740 It's just like a better setting for someone to 00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:58.079 tell your whole life story. The train is better. 00:18:58.860 --> 00:19:01.420 And then like his mom, you know, he starts the 00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:03.440 story, you know, he's a kid who's had like leg 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.180 problems. He wears like braces.

And she's 00:21:16.829 --> 00:21:18.269 like, we can't join the school. She's like, I'll 00:21:18.269 --> 00:21:19.970 clean your house every day that he's here.

Like I think the mom steals 00:21:23.650 --> 00:21:26.230 the show here. She is a great mother, hands down. 00:21:26.410 --> 00:21:28.880 I think you're a better mother if you blow. the 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.740 administrator for your son i think that shows 00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:33.539 that you love your kid more maybe in america 00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:39.259 yeah they cannot like it would be uh i mean sancti 00:21:39.259 --> 00:21:44.140 sanctify the mother character of uh indian heroes 00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:48.460 you know the mother is like a very sanctimonious 00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:52.839 image and then like yeah so even if she's widow 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.859 like here like she's not doesn't have a husband 00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:58.700 or anything. I mean, even the widow cannot have 00:21:58.700 --> 00:22:02.380 sex. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And basically, like, 00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:05.200 you know, Forrest Gump, he goes through, as I've 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.140 said, like he goes through historical events, 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.140 meets famous celebrities. And in this one, you 00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:13.359 know, because it's all adapted for an Indian 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:16.920 audience, like he goes through several tragedies, 00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:19.920 like the like the assassination of Indira Gandhi. 00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:23.180 Well, there's a scene where they're in front 00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:25.339 of Indira Gandhi's house and they say this is 00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:27.579 where she lives and then they hear the bullets 00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:29.980 and then the photo clicks them like all turning 00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:32.099 around and then later on that day they find out 00:22:32.099 --> 00:22:33.740 that the bullets they heard while taking that 00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:36.460 photo was the assassination that killed Indira 00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:39.619 Gandhi who and it was by two of her Sikh bodyguards. 00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.009 Yeah And that's when the mom brings in the malaria 00:22:42.009 --> 00:22:44.230 thing. But yeah, I think what Nikki was getting 00:22:44.230 --> 00:22:46.430 at was how his mom used to frame all of this 00:22:46.430 --> 00:22:48.450 political unrest that was going on this time, 00:22:48.650 --> 00:22:51.069 telling him that it's malaria and he needs to 00:22:51.069 --> 00:22:54.509 stay inside. So I have a question for you, Adam, 00:22:54.750 --> 00:22:56.930 with all these events being told, how was it? 00:22:56.930 --> 00:22:59.890 How does it compare to the original? Yeah, the 00:22:59.890 --> 00:23:02.309 malaria thing is an introduced in the Indian 00:23:02.309 --> 00:23:06.289 one. Like the mom isn't. Protective of forest 00:23:06.289 --> 00:23:08.630 in the original she's like go out there. You 00:23:08.630 --> 00:23:10.849 know, you're just as normal as the rest of them 00:23:10.849 --> 00:23:14.730 this one again really Puts forward the fact that 00:23:14.730 --> 00:23:17.970 he's super stupid and like the mom just gives 00:23:17.970 --> 00:23:19.910 him direct orders all the time like stay inside 00:23:19.910 --> 00:23:21.410 It's malaria and he's like, okay, I'll be here 00:23:21.410 --> 00:23:26.269 for three weeks boom. And so he has no Personal 00:23:26.269 --> 00:23:28.009 drive all he's doing. He's just listening to 00:23:28.009 --> 00:23:29.970 his mom, which I guess makes him a great son 00:23:29.970 --> 00:23:31.690 But not an interesting character to watch in 00:23:31.690 --> 00:23:35.920 a movie the other Thing is the celebrity he meets 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.380 in the original is Elvis, but who is the celebrity 00:23:38.380 --> 00:23:42.779 he meets in this show? What does he do? It doesn't 00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:46.759 like the the the the hands out dance moves I'm 00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:48.759 gesturing but like the our listeners won't see 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:51.299 but like he he like sticks out his arms like 00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:53.500 this I guess he's in like the leg braces so he 00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:56.779 can only move his arms On a roof top and then 00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:59.099 charu khan like turns his head and it's like 00:23:59.099 --> 00:24:01.890 deep fake Shah Rukh Khan's face, right? So was 00:24:01.890 --> 00:24:03.650 it real Shah Rukh Khan? I still don't know. I 00:24:03.650 --> 00:24:05.069 looked into it. I was like, how did they find 00:24:05.069 --> 00:24:07.609 a kid who has such similar features to Shah Rukh 00:24:07.609 --> 00:24:09.650 Khan? But then Shah Rukh Khan did have a guest 00:24:09.650 --> 00:24:12.269 starring role in this. So it is him. Somehow. 00:24:12.630 --> 00:24:16.250 They just DH him. Yeah. Yeah. But man, I was 00:24:16.250 --> 00:24:18.950 watching clips of like Indian audiences in cinema 00:24:18.950 --> 00:24:20.849 watching that. And even just that, they're like 00:24:20.849 --> 00:24:23.049 standing up cheering like, oh my God, it's Shah 00:24:23.049 --> 00:24:25.529 Rukh Khan. I think this is one spot like where 00:24:25.529 --> 00:24:28.309 I really like the film that, OK, this is the 00:24:28.309 --> 00:24:30.789 whole one of the spotter like oh yeah like that 00:24:30.789 --> 00:24:33.710 that's so funny like it's so funny because uh 00:24:33.710 --> 00:24:36.589 yeah Shah Rukh Khan like he taught Shah Rukh 00:24:36.589 --> 00:24:39.250 Khan that move like that was that was actually 00:24:39.250 --> 00:24:42.009 so this is the one spot like it really takes 00:24:42.009 --> 00:24:43.690 it home right it should have gone further with 00:24:43.690 --> 00:24:46.490 that stuff yeah just be like weird and and all 00:24:46.490 --> 00:24:49.509 the like weird indian like you know media fun 00:24:49.509 --> 00:24:52.210 stuff just yes like i think that would have like 00:24:52.210 --> 00:24:53.990 yeah i think it's one of the few scenes where 00:24:53.990 --> 00:24:56.309 he kind of has like a entertainment footprint 00:24:56.309 --> 00:24:59.279 the rest of it is all political yeah with with 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.920 an objective political view again in the original 00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.599 movie he just experiences these events but has 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.500 no uh interpretation of it himself really but 00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:09.440 in this one like the movie has a very explicit 00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.539 interpretation every time which makes it which 00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:14.680 makes the character himself political and that's 00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.980 a little hard to swallow. Since the Shah Rukh 00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:21.440 Khan scene is a hit for all of us, I think they 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:23.319 actually thought of this first and then they 00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:25.900 took another 10 years to think of the political 00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:30.960 side. For sure. We got the Shah Rukh Khan, this 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.819 is golden. If Shah Rukh Khan's in the film, by 00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:35.799 the way, yeah, it's golden. That was the first 00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:38.319 and last good idea they had. I do got to say 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:40.200 it's kind of brave of Amir Khan. I was watching 00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:42.829 interviews with Amir Khan and he said, him and 00:25:42.829 --> 00:25:45.269 Shahrukh Khan have had you know kind of a shaky 00:25:45.269 --> 00:25:46.849 history in the past like they haven't always 00:25:46.849 --> 00:25:49.630 gone along and you know when this is his this 00:25:49.630 --> 00:25:51.730 is Amir Khan's big big passion project like he 00:25:51.730 --> 00:25:53.390 was working on this forever like he was really 00:25:53.390 --> 00:25:55.170 involved the whole time and it's his production 00:25:55.170 --> 00:25:57.930 company so for him to like reach out to Shahrukh 00:25:57.930 --> 00:25:59.809 Khan and bring him on like that's actually pretty 00:25:59.809 --> 00:26:01.930 cool and it makes for the best moment the closest 00:26:01.930 --> 00:26:04.670 thing you can find to Elvis in India yeah it 00:26:04.670 --> 00:26:08.579 works it just works But Elvis is like dead by 00:26:08.579 --> 00:26:10.319 the time we're watching the original this one 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.079 like Shah Rukh Khan is alive and well and in 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:13.799 the movie That's the other like that's pretty 00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.000 cool. I don't think you'd find a dead legend 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:17.799 in Bollywood That's bigger than Shah Rukh Khan 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:20.079 that are alive.

Yeah, miss North India 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:54.660 and then like one of many instances were like 00:28:54.660 --> 00:28:58.200 Lal is like jealous of you know men's attention 00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:01.160 towards Rupa like there's one guy named like 00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:04.579 Harry This good -looking guy where he like beat 00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:07.279 he went to get like go kapas I think yeah, and 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:09.619 then like sees like beats him up and stuff. You'll 00:29:09.619 --> 00:29:12.180 see that Think it was like that in the original. 00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:14.680 Was it like for a scum defending like Jenny? 00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:18.599 Yeah similar is very all similar stuff. And then 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.980 at some point we get to see uh, I was gonna say 00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:26.740 Indian force lol lol joining the Indian army 00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:30.559 He meets like our their equivalent of Baba, which 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:35.109 is Bala And they want to sell starting like a 00:29:35.109 --> 00:29:37.829 shrimp shrimp shrimp business a shrimp restaurant 00:29:37.829 --> 00:29:42.430 chain. They want to do undergarments because 00:29:42.430 --> 00:29:46.130 Because you'll see why Okay, so let's pause first 00:29:46.130 --> 00:29:47.950 and talk about the war the war Yeah, they're 00:29:47.950 --> 00:29:50.230 going to a war and you know, it's instead of 00:29:50.230 --> 00:29:51.950 like the Vietnam War as you see in the original 00:29:51.950 --> 00:29:55.269 It's the cargo war. Yeah. Yeah. So first of all, 00:29:55.269 --> 00:29:58.210 why are they fighting right? So in the original 00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:01.200 They go to the Vietnam War. There was a big draft. 00:30:01.619 --> 00:30:04.079 Forrest was not drafted actually, but he just 00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.000 didn't know what to do after he graduated. University 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.680 and someone just handed him, you know, a flyer 00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:10.799 and said, you know, do you know what you want 00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:12.339 to do with your life? And he's like, sure. So 00:30:12.339 --> 00:30:16.380 he does it. And then like Bubba and stuff were 00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:19.619 like draftees. And that makes sense. A lot of 00:30:19.619 --> 00:30:22.680 people were put into that war. The cargo war, 00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:26.559 especially, you know, Forrest's mom's rich or 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:31.089 has money. Why would any of these people volunteer 00:30:31.089 --> 00:30:33.670 to be in this war and kill you had an issue with 00:30:33.670 --> 00:30:36.349 this too? Yeah, so what is the thing is like 00:30:36.349 --> 00:30:39.990 so they were not going to the war they just they 00:30:39.990 --> 00:30:43.670 they Joined the army. So once you join the army, 00:30:43.690 --> 00:30:45.430 you don't have a say whether to go to the war 00:30:45.430 --> 00:30:50.910 or not. So forest joins the army because forest's 00:30:50.910 --> 00:30:53.490 motivation i can still get behind because okay 00:30:53.490 --> 00:30:56.089 he's like okay he has this heartbroken guy he's 00:30:56.089 --> 00:30:58.089 not getting the girl and then that's where i 00:30:58.089 --> 00:31:00.930 think he's he's like okay i'll go for the army 00:31:00.930 --> 00:31:03.930 or something like that and but this guy bala 00:31:03.930 --> 00:31:06.869 the underwear guy i mean he's definitely has 00:31:06.869 --> 00:31:09.930 a business in his village making underwear and 00:31:09.930 --> 00:31:13.000 then like a business person who is the sole earner 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:16.039 of the family and leaving that business and joining 00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:19.039 the army is a very very rare thing and it's like 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.950 a it's almost never happens like i mean Yeah, 00:31:23.109 --> 00:31:25.529 and the cardinal war wasn't like a galvanizing 00:31:25.529 --> 00:31:27.769 war like the Vietnam War, right? And wasn't, 00:31:27.809 --> 00:31:29.569 can you explain a bit like how long was it even? 00:31:29.849 --> 00:31:32.789 No, it was almost a few months. It was a very, 00:31:32.970 --> 00:31:37.049 it's a very, very important point of history 00:31:37.049 --> 00:31:40.430 in India Pakistan conflict. Can you explain the 00:31:40.430 --> 00:31:43.569 origins? so what happened was original india 00:31:43.569 --> 00:31:51.650 pakistan no no no so india finds out suddenly 00:31:51.650 --> 00:31:54.910 that there have been like a bunch of gangs of 00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:59.140 Pakistan army the mountains there in Kashmir 00:31:59.140 --> 00:32:03.680 in Kargil so they have to chase them out so Pakistan 00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:06.440 always took a position officially that it was 00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:10.559 not their army it was like freedom fighter from 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:13.400 Pakistan but everyone knows that it was Pakistan's 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.880 army even Pakistan is admit to that now but the 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.599 Pakistan's officially never admitted so it just 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:21.799 started that war that you just encroached on 00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.319 our land and then just we just fight it back 00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:27.839 so it was just a territorial war if this sounds 00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:30.619 familiar if you've read the news recently it's 00:32:30.619 --> 00:32:33.200 the exact same scenario as what just happened 00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:35.720 recently too it seems like an endless fight over 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:43.809 the Kashmir area It was way more serious than 00:32:43.809 --> 00:32:47.089 this and it was actually a real encroachment 00:32:47.089 --> 00:32:49.470 and what recently happened was a terrorist attack 00:32:49.470 --> 00:32:51.950 and India just going and fighting and then like 00:32:51.950 --> 00:32:54.329 stuff like that. But that one was a real encroachment 00:32:54.329 --> 00:32:58.049 inside the border. I did read there was 1500 00:32:58.049 --> 00:33:02.690 Indian casualties and 4000 Pakistani casualties. 00:33:02.849 --> 00:33:04.990 Yeah. So they go this war and the other big, 00:33:04.990 --> 00:33:08.190 big difference here is the Lieutenant Dan they 00:33:08.190 --> 00:33:12.680 meet. So in the original, Forrest ends up saving 00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:15.640 some people during some bombing in Vietnam. In 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:19.779 this one, he does the same, but he actually saves 00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:22.720 a soldier on the Pakistani side. In the first 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.480 movie, they're on the same side. He's like American 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:26.700 soldier. But this one, he saves the Pakistani 00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:32.220 guy and brings him back to India, I guess, because 00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:34.019 his legs got cut off or something. So anyways, 00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:36.940 then he's just in India. This will become important 00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:40.220 later, but it's a very big diversion take than 00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:42.819 the original film to like save the pakistani 00:33:42.819 --> 00:33:46.440 guy then have him become dependent And kind of 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:48.920 grow up in india after that. It's very weird. 00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:51.480 He even has like a big flat according to kaylee 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.099 It's like in mumbai. Remember like the oh, yeah 00:33:54.099 --> 00:33:58.650 That's a complete fake Like a telephone booth 00:33:58.650 --> 00:34:02.529 operator. He rents like a telephone booth in 00:34:02.529 --> 00:34:05.950 2022 or whatever. So like no one's touching that 00:34:05.950 --> 00:34:09.670 and he's able to afford the nicest condo in Mumbai. 00:34:10.650 --> 00:34:13.050 Well, that was happening. Rupa was going through 00:34:13.050 --> 00:34:15.989 her own like art where she's like meeting some 00:34:15.989 --> 00:34:19.130 mobster to become like an action heroine in a 00:34:19.130 --> 00:34:25.960 movie. His name is Abbas. Yeah. Like classic 00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:28.179 skis ball producer, like you have to have sex 00:34:28.179 --> 00:34:30.260 with me to get this role. And she's like, I'm 00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:31.940 not Forrest's mom. I don't sleep with people 00:34:31.940 --> 00:34:35.039 to help my position. Yeah, she does. Yeah, she 00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.699 does. You get this like weird like scene where 00:34:37.699 --> 00:34:43.780 like, you know, Lyle goes gets like awarded for 00:34:43.780 --> 00:34:46.420 being a hero from the Cargill war. And then like 00:34:46.420 --> 00:34:48.619 he just walks on the street and happens to like 00:34:48.619 --> 00:34:52.000 catch Rupa in the car and he actually runs after 00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.139 the car. to this like hotel this swanky hotel 00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:58.519 and then he sees like the the mobster hitting 00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:01.460 rupa which by the way we we did point out there's 00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:04.800 a lot of hitting women here oh yeah it's always 00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:07.679 christians and muslims beating women yeah and 00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.679 then like you know he he hits like he he beats 00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:12.119 up abbas and then like abbas said something like 00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:14.599 oh it's you know it's a good thing i have a lot 00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:19.769 of respect for the indian army Nationalism India's 00:35:19.769 --> 00:35:22.389 superior, even though I'm a mob star.

And then we get like another like total 00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:22.000 whiplash where like he's just like watching TV 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:26.179 where like the 2006 bombing. OK, so what happens 00:36:26.179 --> 00:36:29.440 is like so. So here the Mohammed Paji is not 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.800 shown as a Pakistani army person. He is shown 00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:35.219 as like a terrorist, like a Islamic terrorist. 00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:39.250 And then. He sees the 2006 Mumbai attack, which 00:36:39.250 --> 00:36:41.949 was a horrific attack by it was also linked to 00:36:41.949 --> 00:36:46.269 Pakistan. It was also linked to Lashkar -e -Taiba. 00:36:46.349 --> 00:36:49.469 It's like one of the Pakistani terrorist gang. 00:36:50.210 --> 00:36:53.690 So Ajmal Kasab, he was looking at Kasab's footage 00:36:53.690 --> 00:37:03.030 on the TV and he realizes that anti -India Propaganda 00:37:03.030 --> 00:37:05.710 that he grew up with is still going on in Pakistan 00:37:05.710 --> 00:37:08.769 and the youth is like still brainwashed and so 00:37:08.769 --> 00:37:15.690 he has to go back to Pakistan to like help Kids 00:37:15.690 --> 00:37:19.269 not fall into that Islamic propaganda. It's crazy 00:37:19.269 --> 00:37:22.250 He says he's like we've he said himself. He's 00:37:22.250 --> 00:37:25.230 like I grew up learning so much hate and Like 00:37:25.230 --> 00:37:27.510 thank you so much for like showing me that Indians 00:37:27.510 --> 00:37:30.090 are actually really cool and based and you're 00:37:30.090 --> 00:37:32.570 the good guys and I'm gonna go back to my home 00:37:32.570 --> 00:37:35.269 country and teach them that we're the bad guys 00:37:35.269 --> 00:37:38.469 and to stop brainwashing them so they hate Indians 00:37:38.469 --> 00:37:42.289 for zero reason. It was a surreal scene. We were 00:37:42.289 --> 00:37:45.409 just laughing at how surreal it was. Like how 00:37:45.409 --> 00:37:47.429 could you be watching that though and not feel 00:37:47.429 --> 00:37:49.769 some sort of way? That's the thing. Like if it's 00:37:49.769 --> 00:37:51.769 just Lieutenant Dan with a bunch of hookers in 00:37:51.769 --> 00:37:54.670 the original movie, it's fun. But when he's like, 00:37:54.670 --> 00:37:57.329 you know, from the other side and just saying 00:37:57.329 --> 00:37:59.289 like, yeah, Indians are the best and Pakistan 00:37:59.289 --> 00:38:01.880 sucks, I'm going to go. try to make them not 00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:04.500 terrorists. That's like a really wild take. Yeah. 00:38:04.820 --> 00:38:07.400 So that's what they do with the that's what that's 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:09.320 what I was pointing out with the religion stuff. 00:38:09.699 --> 00:38:12.360 Right. So it's like if you point out the bad 00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.940 side of one belief system in like again and again 00:38:15.940 --> 00:38:18.480 and again and you just hype up the other side. 00:38:18.739 --> 00:38:20.860 So that's like it's definitely going to look 00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:22.780 in a certain way. I mean, that's what the film 00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:26.360 was doing. It's it's like. okay i mean there 00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:29.340 are terrorists that's a reality but like to say 00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:32.400 that oh we are all like that and that's what 00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:34.780 that's the only thing we are getting taught and 00:38:34.780 --> 00:38:37.059 they learn it in school like they like the schools 00:38:37.059 --> 00:38:41.159 breed terrorism is yeah it's crazy it's a wild 00:38:41.929 --> 00:38:44.909 take. And then that's where I was like, ah, man, 00:38:45.090 --> 00:38:47.769 that sucks. That sucks. And we just need to build 00:38:47.769 --> 00:38:50.190 more schools and teach kids not to because kids 00:38:50.190 --> 00:38:54.250 are born wanting to murder people in a place 00:38:54.250 --> 00:38:55.909 they've never been to. And we just need to teach 00:38:55.909 --> 00:38:57.880 them not to.

Benyon? 00:41:49.630 --> 00:41:52.789 We call it a wife beater, which is crazy. In 00:41:52.789 --> 00:41:54.789 America, we call that a wife beater. It's called 00:41:54.789 --> 00:41:57.570 a vest. A vest is the most neutral, but literally 00:41:57.570 --> 00:42:01.409 a wife beater. It's like a connotation, like 00:42:01.409 --> 00:42:03.809 it's, you know, hicks that wear it. Uh huh. Okay. 00:42:03.889 --> 00:42:06.849 Yeah. So yeah, the vest, I was really, I really 00:42:06.849 --> 00:42:09.409 liked the cut of the vest. So I was a very loyal 00:42:09.409 --> 00:42:10.849 customer. You can bend your arms backwards like 00:42:10.849 --> 00:42:14.550 this. Yeah, that's what Bala says. Like, you 00:42:14.550 --> 00:42:18.360 know, like it's very important. Anyway in the 00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.260 original like again, they make bubblegum shrimp, 00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:22.139 and that's not a real company became one later 00:42:22.139 --> 00:42:25.119 But this one it is like a straight -up just promotion 00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:27.780 for Rupa undergarment Paramount was not giving 00:42:27.780 --> 00:42:30.639 enough money to the film I guess wild do you 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:32.539 think if the Sherman company name was changed 00:42:32.539 --> 00:42:36.719 to Jenny you would buy motion way more I Don't 00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:38.699 I mean the reason I don't like Pepsi is because 00:42:38.699 --> 00:42:41.099 it's it's not a girl name And I'm just so I don't 00:42:41.099 --> 00:42:42.840 know what to do with it. You know that's why 00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:47.260 I drink Coca -Cola Koka is Koka's female name 00:42:47.260 --> 00:42:49.760 somewhere and so I think and so that's why I 00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:54.619 drink it Yeah, so he gets rich from Rupa undergarments 00:42:54.619 --> 00:42:59.260 like nonchalantly very casually drops the like 00:42:59.260 --> 00:43:02.579 like lols casually drops that he's the CEO Rupa 00:43:03.349 --> 00:43:06.510 He still has a sewing machine in his CEO office. 00:43:06.510 --> 00:43:09.030 He just loves it. That is the one funny part. 00:43:09.090 --> 00:43:11.849 He's like, oh, yeah, I'm the CEO and I make these 00:43:11.849 --> 00:43:14.090 myself. And when he's bored, he just makes his 00:43:14.090 --> 00:43:16.530 own undergarments, which is very funny to imagine. 00:43:16.590 --> 00:43:19.389 He's not exploiting levers. He's exploiting himself. 00:43:19.449 --> 00:43:22.110 Yeah, good for him. So he gets loaded and he 00:43:22.110 --> 00:43:24.409 decides to go back home because his mom was on 00:43:24.409 --> 00:43:27.170 her deathbed. And, you know, he tends to her 00:43:27.170 --> 00:43:31.469 and then she she passes away and then. Eventually 00:43:31.469 --> 00:43:34.690 Rupa shows up and you know, this is the scene 00:43:34.690 --> 00:43:37.150 I think it's exactly the same scene as in Forrest 00:43:37.150 --> 00:43:40.829 Gump, you know, they spend time together Reunited 00:43:40.829 --> 00:43:43.929 and you know, there's like a there's like a shot 00:43:43.929 --> 00:43:47.469 where they're like sitting out and at night and 00:43:47.469 --> 00:43:50.389 Lal confesses his love for her and he says but 00:43:50.389 --> 00:43:53.889 you won't I Paraphrase it. Okay, you won't have 00:43:53.889 --> 00:43:58.719 sex with me because I'm dumb Right. And you know, 00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:01.139 that's when, you know, you get that like tender 00:44:01.139 --> 00:44:04.199 love scene, which was OK, you know, I have sex. 00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:06.380 They're not married. That's pretty good. OK. 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:11.039 But then she like overnight, she is like, I think 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.980 in Forrest Gump, she leaves him. That's it. But 00:44:13.980 --> 00:44:18.199 in this one, she goes, the police comes after 00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:22.500 her. We why? Because she was going to be a whistleblower 00:44:22.500 --> 00:44:27.280 for the for the mobster. Yeah. That's that was 00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:30.400 it. Interesting. OK, so I have this question 00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:35.440 for you in and I think I didn't totally understand 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:37.199 because like I don't speak the language. It was 00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:42.400 just subtitles. Is he does he have an accent 00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:45.780 and does his character like appear? Does he speak 00:44:45.780 --> 00:44:49.139 stupid? Like Forrest Gump has like a southern 00:44:49.139 --> 00:44:51.440 accent and kind of talks a little slow. Does 00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:56.179 he do the same thing here? Oh, interesting question. 00:44:56.360 --> 00:44:59.980 Let me remember that. Uh huh. I'm just curious 00:44:59.980 --> 00:45:02.519 because in the original, like, you know, yeah, 00:45:02.619 --> 00:45:04.719 Jenny does leave and can't be with him. He does 00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:06.519 like love. Jenny wants to marry her, but Jenny 00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:08.880 can't be with him. And you get why, like he isn't 00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:11.900 a fully developed adult. Like he is slow and 00:45:11.900 --> 00:45:14.079 forced gum. And you understand, like she can't 00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:16.920 have like a meaningful relationship with him. 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:21.239 He's just not on that level. So you get it. And 00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:23.159 again, I just couldn't tell if I didn't understand. 00:45:23.389 --> 00:45:25.010 His character in this movie or not, but like 00:45:25.010 --> 00:45:28.670 I didn't see a reason why Rupa couldn't be with 00:45:28.670 --> 00:45:32.530 him with like Yeah, that was a very I mean, maybe 00:45:32.530 --> 00:45:36.590 it's a similar similar Motivation not to be with 00:45:36.590 --> 00:45:38.929 him because he's kind of childish but is that 00:45:38.929 --> 00:45:41.230 obvious because I just couldn't tell But I don't 00:45:41.230 --> 00:45:42.869 remember. So, I mean, I also watched for his 00:45:42.869 --> 00:45:45.150 gun probably over a decade ago now I don't remember 00:45:45.150 --> 00:45:47.889 but I don't think for his character was also 00:45:47.889 --> 00:45:50.809 like unlovable to the degree that not unlovable 00:45:50.809 --> 00:45:54.980 issues. He wasn't capable of of of being on that 00:45:54.980 --> 00:45:58.579 emotional level he's just too slow so it's not 00:45:58.579 --> 00:46:00.260 that like he can't or he's not alone he's very 00:46:00.260 --> 00:46:02.239 lovable and she loves him she loves him deeply 00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:06.739 but she can't get out of him what a normal adult 00:46:06.739 --> 00:46:09.099 relationship would have and that's very obvious 00:46:09.099 --> 00:46:11.039 in the movie and so it's not just her it's like 00:46:11.039 --> 00:46:14.059 anyone but i'm curious if that is conveyed in 00:46:14.059 --> 00:46:16.019 this i don't think the movie kind of drills down 00:46:16.019 --> 00:46:17.659 upon that a little bit too much i think that 00:46:17.659 --> 00:46:20.550 kind of portray it more as rupa choosing that 00:46:20.550 --> 00:46:22.510 because she has the agenda like like hilly said 00:46:22.510 --> 00:46:24.349 she wants to become famous so it's just like 00:46:24.349 --> 00:46:27.809 a misalignment in desires so that's a big difference 00:46:27.809 --> 00:46:29.690 then that's a huge difference then because in 00:46:29.690 --> 00:46:31.369 this one like in the original they did want to 00:46:31.369 --> 00:46:33.590 be together and jenny loved him but just couldn't 00:46:33.590 --> 00:46:36.210 and in this one it just means he is capable of 00:46:36.210 --> 00:46:38.829 being in a relationship i felt that way and there's 00:46:38.829 --> 00:46:41.869 not a really good reason why she isn't with him 00:46:41.869 --> 00:46:43.869 honestly like watching this i don't think the 00:46:43.869 --> 00:46:46.900 movie Like, Rupa does not really shine in a very 00:46:46.900 --> 00:46:49.059 positive light. I don't remember how Jenny was 00:46:49.059 --> 00:46:51.800 portrayed, but I think Rupa, like, in the grand 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:53.900 scheme of things, comes off as a bit selfish 00:46:53.900 --> 00:46:56.440 in this movie. And you kind of see her recognize 00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:58.960 that towards the end, but then at the same time, 00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:02.000 like, she gets with Laosing knowing that she 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:04.260 has the illness. I don't know, it just kind of 00:47:04.260 --> 00:47:06.579 seems like a matter of convenience in this movie, 00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.280 and like, where she doesn't have anyone else, 00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:10.300 she has a kid now, so she has to go for him. 00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:13.389 I didn't see the... love from her side as being 00:47:13.389 --> 00:47:16.269 very genuine. In the original, the love is very 00:47:16.269 --> 00:47:19.449 genuine. She is just trying to pursue her dreams 00:47:19.449 --> 00:47:23.389 and joins hippies for a while and joins some 00:47:23.389 --> 00:47:26.150 political protesters. She is following her heart 00:47:26.150 --> 00:47:28.329 and she's constantly punished to the point where 00:47:28.329 --> 00:47:31.730 she ends up playing music nude in a strip show 00:47:31.730 --> 00:47:35.610 venue and then she gets AIDS and dies. The movie 00:47:35.610 --> 00:47:39.789 punishes Jenny. But the love connection is really 00:47:39.789 --> 00:47:42.139 strong in that movie. and you still understand 00:47:42.139 --> 00:47:44.159 why she can't be with forest even though she 00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:47.400 would want to actually but in this one i didn't 00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:49.019 feel that from rupa at all i didn't feel the 00:47:49.019 --> 00:47:51.619 connection and i feel like he is he could be 00:47:51.619 --> 00:47:53.480 in a relationship if you wanted to i didn't get 00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:55.539 the character i think also one another motivation 00:47:55.539 --> 00:47:58.300 is like when you are dating with a mobster if 00:47:58.300 --> 00:48:03.519 you leave him you are you might put life in danger 00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:08.099 yours and also like the guy you are going with 00:48:08.099 --> 00:48:10.659 so that can be another motivation because when 00:48:10.659 --> 00:48:13.820 they connect was that that New Delhi at night 00:48:13.820 --> 00:48:16.019 they'd have like a nice romantic walk I mean 00:48:16.019 --> 00:48:17.780 that's the first time they connect back right 00:48:17.780 --> 00:48:20.460 like he's back from army it's just so that's 00:48:20.460 --> 00:48:22.599 point of time like I think one motivation is 00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:25.539 she still sees that this relationship will get 00:48:25.539 --> 00:48:30.090 her make lander all in Bollywood And she will 00:48:30.090 --> 00:48:32.889 become an actor. And also, secondly, she's dating 00:48:32.889 --> 00:48:35.610 this huge mobster. And then if she leaves him, 00:48:36.150 --> 00:48:38.710 it's going to be it might be fatal for her and 00:48:38.710 --> 00:48:42.409 as well as the boy as well. So, I mean, I mean, 00:48:42.710 --> 00:48:44.590 yeah, that's a character failing. And then it's 00:48:44.590 --> 00:48:47.650 a very different tone anyway. So, yeah, that 00:48:47.650 --> 00:48:49.309 that part didn't really work for me because her 00:48:49.309 --> 00:48:51.050 motivations are unclear and they don't have a 00:48:51.050 --> 00:48:54.150 deep love. connection he loves her a lot i think 00:48:54.150 --> 00:48:56.030 you see that in the movie where like he's always 00:48:56.030 --> 00:48:57.869 willing to save her he'll come to her rescue 00:48:57.869 --> 00:48:59.889 at any time and you almost kind of feel like 00:48:59.889 --> 00:49:02.309 her she knows that and she just keeps that as 00:49:02.309 --> 00:49:04.929 kind of the safety net but will never prioritize 00:49:04.929 --> 00:49:09.269 him the music expresses his feelings too yeah 00:49:09.269 --> 00:49:11.789 yeah i don't think adam listened to it since 00:49:11.789 --> 00:49:14.750 there was no dance number i did not yeah i actually 00:49:14.750 --> 00:49:16.869 was completely zoned out during the music stuff 00:49:16.869 --> 00:49:19.750 i did not care i was yeah maybe i read The lyrics 00:49:19.750 --> 00:49:21.690 a little too much. I was like staring at the 00:49:21.690 --> 00:49:24.070 wall. So yeah, like she, she, you know, she turns, 00:49:24.269 --> 00:49:26.610 she turns to the police, uh, ex whistleblower 00:49:26.610 --> 00:49:30.289 to a boss and goes to a salon, works at a salon 00:49:30.289 --> 00:49:34.050 as a receptionist. Yeah. And at like a nice modern 00:49:34.050 --> 00:49:36.550 day salon. Like, okay, whatever. And you know, 00:49:36.610 --> 00:49:38.409 just like in Forrest Gump, this, this hurts him 00:49:38.409 --> 00:49:41.440 when she leaves him. So he goes running. I don't 00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:43.159 know how long in this version, I don't remember. 00:49:43.380 --> 00:49:45.440 Four years. Four years? Okay. Same as the original. 00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:49.320 Same as the original. Then he runs and runs and... 00:49:49.949 --> 00:49:52.570 Those are all the Indian landmarks. Yeah, it 00:49:52.570 --> 00:49:55.670 goes through like the Anahasari strike. Yeah, 00:49:55.670 --> 00:49:58.610 Anahasari strike. That was a very anti -corruption 00:49:58.610 --> 00:50:00.829 movement happening before BJP came to power. 00:50:00.889 --> 00:50:02.849 He was like a very dubious person, like at not 00:50:02.849 --> 00:50:05.630 that point of time, but later we found out because 00:50:05.630 --> 00:50:08.389 he doesn't say a word against the current government 00:50:08.389 --> 00:50:10.849 at all. And then in the same run, he runs by 00:50:10.849 --> 00:50:13.750 a big Modi poster. So I was like, okay, here 00:50:13.750 --> 00:50:18.619 we go. Anyway, big advertisement for Modi. in 00:50:18.619 --> 00:50:21.699 very nasty yeah and then you know i guess he 00:50:21.699 --> 00:50:24.699 stops running and then decides to wear a turban 00:50:24.699 --> 00:50:27.519 that's simply speaking well because while he's 00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:30.039 running for four years his hair grows his beard 00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:32.119 grows and then he goes home and he looks in the 00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:34.099 mirror and he's like oh i finally look like my 00:50:34.099 --> 00:50:36.989 grandparents like my grandfather And there's 00:50:36.989 --> 00:50:39.090 this really nice scene where they play the Ardas 00:50:39.090 --> 00:50:41.409 in the background. There's this prayer. I think 00:50:41.409 --> 00:50:43.150 most Sikhs grow up saying it. I remember the 00:50:43.150 --> 00:50:44.670 whole thing because I said it every night, even 00:50:44.670 --> 00:50:46.389 though I don't remember. I don't understand what 00:50:46.389 --> 00:50:49.369 it means. But this is like the Shabad is playing 00:50:49.369 --> 00:50:51.489 in the background and he's tying his turban. 00:50:51.969 --> 00:50:53.650 That was a nice scene. Why do you think they 00:50:53.650 --> 00:50:57.300 made him Sikh in this? You know, I was talking 00:50:57.300 --> 00:50:59.320 to Achille about this because the anti -Sikh 00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.659 riots, they display that and they see him kind 00:51:01.659 --> 00:51:03.980 of be in the middle of that. He has a Jura when 00:51:03.980 --> 00:51:06.699 he's a young boy and his mom's hiding him, literally 00:51:06.699 --> 00:51:08.619 putting her Chunni over him to hide the fact 00:51:08.619 --> 00:51:11.130 that he's a Sikh boy. because it's identifiable 00:51:11.130 --> 00:51:13.309 with the guy and that's a woman right and so 00:51:13.309 --> 00:51:15.170 this moment of desperation she finds like a shard 00:51:15.170 --> 00:51:16.809 of glass on the ground and just starts chopping 00:51:16.809 --> 00:51:20.570 his hair off um but then then at the end the 00:51:20.570 --> 00:51:23.050 movie kind of ends up having a very pro -hindu 00:51:23.050 --> 00:51:25.269 narrative so i find it quite ironic that the 00:51:25.269 --> 00:51:27.710 main character is seek and you kind of see the 00:51:27.710 --> 00:51:29.969 anti -seek riots play out very much at the hands 00:51:29.969 --> 00:51:33.219 of muslims And no, I mean, I'm sorry, but very 00:51:33.219 --> 00:51:35.699 much at the hands of Hindus Congress Party. And 00:51:35.699 --> 00:51:37.360 then at towards the end, it becomes like a pro 00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:39.579 -Hindu movie. And you know, this anti -seek riots 00:51:39.579 --> 00:51:41.980 was never addressed throughout Indian history. 00:51:42.260 --> 00:51:44.059 I think they tried to like set up committees 00:51:44.059 --> 00:51:46.300 and all, but there's very limited accountability. 00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:49.019 There's been almost little to no prosecute, like 00:51:49.019 --> 00:51:51.960 prosecution for people who were responsible for 00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:54.739 it. So it's very ironic. It's kind of like, I'm 00:51:54.739 --> 00:51:56.880 so curious though, because it is so pro -Hindu 00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.619 and like, and it's a total choice to make him 00:51:59.619 --> 00:52:03.190 seek. here's why i i had the same exact question 00:52:03.190 --> 00:52:05.530 as you adam and like i don't know if it was a 00:52:05.530 --> 00:52:07.269 slow character so they thought having a sing 00:52:07.269 --> 00:52:09.530 would kind of fit the seek i think that they 00:52:09.530 --> 00:52:13.530 keep having in in bollywood but i don't know 00:52:13.530 --> 00:52:16.309 i think while otherizing every other religion 00:52:16.309 --> 00:52:20.789 they needed one ally neutral and like sickism 00:52:20.789 --> 00:52:24.070 yeah historically a neutral religion between 00:52:24.070 --> 00:52:26.449 islam and hinduism do you think they were trying 00:52:26.449 --> 00:52:28.929 to show like this is what a good seek is or something 00:52:28.929 --> 00:52:31.170 i don't know i'm just trying to like no no no 00:52:31.170 --> 00:52:32.969 no i don't think we'll be placed into that i 00:52:32.969 --> 00:52:36.150 think it's just we really rarely has bad seek 00:52:36.150 --> 00:52:39.110 characters uh so i think the india carries this 00:52:39.110 --> 00:52:41.269 guilt of like bollywood at least carries this 00:52:41.269 --> 00:52:43.309 guilt of like anti -sick program and everything 00:52:43.309 --> 00:52:48.739 and then They will very rarely have a bad Sikh 00:52:48.739 --> 00:52:52.039 character in Bollywood films, to be honest. Singhis 00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:54.199 King, we learned that. Singhis King is the best 00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:57.420 movie to know how to be a good Sikh. If you really 00:52:57.420 --> 00:53:01.860 want to know the story of Sikhism, I think they 00:53:01.860 --> 00:53:03.880 should teach it in schools in Pakistan so they 00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:07.780 can learn how good Sikhs are. Not a single writer 00:53:07.780 --> 00:53:10.840 or anyone was Sikh in that film. Yeah, I'm not 00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:16.659 surprised. All right, so Jenny so yeah So as 00:53:16.659 --> 00:53:19.400 he wears the turban right that we go to the present 00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:23.559 where he's on his way to see Jenny on his way 00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:27.280 to see Rupa and you know, we have that same scene, 00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:31.360 you know, he meets Rupa and Lo and behold she 00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:34.659 has a child and he finds out Indian Haley Joel 00:53:34.659 --> 00:53:38.579 Osmond And he's that he's the father. Yeah, and 00:53:38.579 --> 00:53:40.719 we find out he's the father and the thing that 00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:44.250 Adam showed us that It's an exact replica of 00:53:44.250 --> 00:53:47.070 that shot of the scene where like the boy runs 00:53:47.070 --> 00:53:51.570 into another like into the TV room and watches 00:53:51.570 --> 00:53:57.469 TV also with a also with a Receptionist of a 00:53:57.469 --> 00:54:01.789 saloon salary. Okay with that two bedroom apartment 00:54:01.789 --> 00:54:06.730 fuck you Or she definitely milked the mobster 00:54:06.730 --> 00:54:13.380 before she left him. Oh Yeah, okay Yeah, I showed 00:54:13.380 --> 00:54:16.059 those things just because the contrast in acting 00:54:16.059 --> 00:54:20.300 is huge I mean you guys saw the the original 00:54:20.300 --> 00:54:23.159 just before we recorded did you?

Yeah, or no, but like 00:59:11.780 --> 00:59:15.039 Golgappa doesn't come in a box. So yeah. Yeah, 00:59:15.159 --> 00:59:17.400 big X on that one. That's not how you eat it. 00:59:17.480 --> 00:59:21.219 They do depict a lot of Indian historical events 00:59:21.219 --> 00:59:23.679 quite well, I'd say. But then at the end, becoming 00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:29.579 a pro Hindutva, BJP movie kind of ruins any regional 00:59:29.579 --> 00:59:32.119 heat. And that brings us to our last one, The 00:59:32.119 --> 00:59:36.019 Moral. How'd the movie leave you feeling? Or 00:59:36.019 --> 00:59:42.159 what's the movie's message? That's the message 00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:45.880 I got was like Pakistanis are like trained to 00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:55.539 hate people All right, thanks for tuning in This 00:59:55.539 --> 00:59:57.000 this movie's on Netflix.
