00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.379
Does anyone want anything while he's out there?

00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:05.860
Killy, do your job as Sita. Don't be a Gita.

00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:10.300
Don't be a fucking Gita right now. Oh my gosh,

00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:11.740
and then we have to talk about the ending because

00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:14.080
what the fuck was that? That was a shitty...

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.920
That wasn't even funny. Oh, can I have a can?

00:00:29.339 --> 00:00:32.000
Welcome to Fear of Stairs, Desi Films Decoded,

00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:33.840
the podcast where four friends from different

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:35.719
backgrounds unlock the world of Desi cinema.

00:00:36.100 --> 00:00:38.159
I'm Winnie, the Desi who's never been to India.

00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.219
Hey, I'm Kili. I'm from India. I don't have a

00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:45.320
twin. My name is Nikki. I also don't have a twin.

00:00:45.979 --> 00:00:49.920
I'm Adam. I have three twins. And this movie,

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:51.820
I learned that women will give up their entire

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:55.119
lives for one dude if they like how he looks.

00:00:55.750 --> 00:00:58.390
What? That's your takeaway? Yeah. Okay, that

00:00:58.390 --> 00:01:00.630
could not be further from my takeaway. Well,

00:01:00.649 --> 00:01:03.689
I didn't think the men in this movie were good

00:01:03.689 --> 00:01:06.049
looking. Both of them completely give up their

00:01:06.049 --> 00:01:08.890
entire lives instantly and don't even report

00:01:08.890 --> 00:01:10.609
back home because they fall in love with a dude.

00:01:11.170 --> 00:01:13.969
Adam could not be any further away from the point

00:01:13.969 --> 00:01:17.069
of the movie. Well, one of them does. Both of

00:01:17.069 --> 00:01:20.469
them, technically. After the reveal, both of

00:01:20.469 --> 00:01:22.390
them does. So this is the kind of movie that

00:01:22.390 --> 00:01:25.519
makes you want to have twins. Yeah, I know. It's

00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.739
a choice. I usually try to get twins, yeah. Who's

00:01:28.739 --> 00:01:31.900
gonna save your ass when you're in... So what's

00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:37.980
the movie we watched? Sita or Gita? Sita and

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:41.560
Gita. At the recommendation of our Russian friend

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.640
who said it was really big back in USSR, back

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.780
in the day he grew up watching this. I can see

00:01:46.780 --> 00:01:49.159
why. Yeah, so I'd say this is the second biggest

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.459
movie in Russia after Disco Dancer. Yeah. Yeah,

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.099
but I loved it. It reminded me a lot of Disco

00:01:55.099 --> 00:01:58.700
Dancer. And they are physically just punching

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:00.939
upper class people near the end. And that was

00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:03.060
really fun too. So I can see why it was led in

00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:06.019
the USSR. The action scene at the end was pretty

00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:10.439
good. I liked it. Very Tarantino style. There

00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:15.099
was a lot of... I think I'm giving too much praise.

00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:18.460
But there are some things I didn't really like

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:23.819
about the movie. But we'll get into it. I mean,

00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:26.759
it's just your typical... I mean, the first thing

00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.099
that came to mind when I watched the movie was

00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:31.460
that it's like a Prince and the Pauper style

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:36.259
kind of film. Prince and the Pauper mixed with

00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:41.000
Parent Trap, but also voluntary Parent Trap,

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.759
kind of. What is Prince and the Pauper? And Parent

00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.379
Trap? Yeah, so explain. Prince and the Pauper

00:02:47.379 --> 00:02:50.060
was this like... Was it a fairy tale? Yeah. It

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:52.400
was like a fairy tale where there's a rich guy

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.060
and a poor dude. They look alike and they didn't

00:02:56.060 --> 00:02:58.479
like the lives they were living so they switched

00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.360
roles and then lived throughout. And then Parent

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.800
Trap was like a Disney movie. There's one in

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.060
the 70s and one with Lindsay Lohan where it's

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:10.860
two twins that are born but then the parents

00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:12.840
split them up and don't tell them that they have

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.159
a twin and then raise them separately and then

00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.340
the kids figure out that they have a... identical

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:19.860
twin yeah wow it's pretty much that movie was

00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:21.900
also actually inspired from an earlier bollywood

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:25.219
movie right from the 1960s maybe keely can tell

00:03:25.219 --> 00:03:28.479
us about that i don't know tell us tell us i

00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.219
don't know the name okay hold on i was gonna

00:03:31.219 --> 00:03:34.560
just i mean bollywood the tween trope is like

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.680
a very popular one a very famous one ram or sham

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.879
grandma yeah yeah okay i have never watched that

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.819
film yeah talk about the director a bit though

00:03:45.659 --> 00:03:47.939
Yes. He was 25 when he made this. And this was

00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:50.460
his second film. Wow. And I just got to know

00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:54.240
from you, Adam, that he made Sholay as well.

00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:57.479
I watched both of his films as a kid. I knew

00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.280
Sholay was made by Ramesh Shippy. And written

00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.580
by Salim Javed Duo. Salim is actually Salman

00:04:04.580 --> 00:04:08.379
Khan's father. And Javed Akhtar is pretty famous

00:04:08.379 --> 00:04:11.509
now. He's Farhan Akhtar's father and, like, he's

00:04:11.509 --> 00:04:13.909
pretty popular now. Like, we're writing films

00:04:13.909 --> 00:04:18.709
and songs and stuff. And, yeah. So, I didn't

00:04:18.709 --> 00:04:20.949
know that this film is also made by the same

00:04:20.949 --> 00:04:24.949
trio. Like, Ramesh Shippy as a director and Salim

00:04:24.949 --> 00:04:29.009
Javed as writer of the film. So, yeah. Yeah.

00:04:29.069 --> 00:04:30.990
And also, Steraz, all these three actors in this

00:04:30.990 --> 00:04:33.610
movie also reappear in Sholay a few years later.

00:04:33.769 --> 00:04:37.290
So, Hema, Sanjeev Kumar and... yeah the other

00:04:37.290 --> 00:04:40.089
doctor guy sanjeev kumar just ages a lot there

00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:42.709
he's an old man there yeah well sanjeev kumar

00:04:42.709 --> 00:04:45.269
like passes away a bit younger in life i'd say

00:04:45.269 --> 00:04:47.790
he had a heart attack he's the guy that plays

00:04:47.790 --> 00:04:50.490
a doctor yeah i want to talk about the opening

00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:52.910
doctor as well that remember you know that guy

00:04:52.910 --> 00:04:56.629
he's like laughing like non -stop oh but he had

00:04:56.629 --> 00:04:59.050
cough syrup right they kind of weave that in

00:04:59.050 --> 00:05:01.129
where he said that thanks for the cough syrup

00:05:01.129 --> 00:05:03.110
from my cold and he's obviously just high off

00:05:03.110 --> 00:05:06.480
his marbles Yeah, let's kick that off, I guess.

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.180
Do you guys feel like the movie just starts?

00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:14.860
It goes so fast. I thought we missed a scene

00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:17.800
or something. It just went straight into how

00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.220
this woman was giving birth. So basically, there's

00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:26.050
a rich couple. the the woman was going into labor

00:05:26.050 --> 00:05:28.310
and then they decided to like quickly stop by

00:05:28.310 --> 00:05:31.769
this like poor poor community and then this like

00:05:31.769 --> 00:05:34.290
poor home where there's like also another couple

00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:36.810
living there they offered like you know shelter

00:05:36.810 --> 00:05:40.129
for the woman and then like the the both both

00:05:40.129 --> 00:05:43.509
men went to see this doctor and like straight

00:05:43.509 --> 00:05:46.149
off he's such a peculiar it's such a weird character

00:05:46.149 --> 00:05:50.910
character i thought he was gonna serve like a

00:05:50.910 --> 00:05:53.170
higher purpose in the story but no he he was

00:05:53.170 --> 00:05:55.410
just there for that that one scene he has like

00:05:55.410 --> 00:05:58.509
a weird mustache she's completely useless and

00:05:58.509 --> 00:06:00.389
just kind of like nods his head and smiles and

00:06:00.389 --> 00:06:02.750
laughs and does nothing and then the poor family

00:06:02.750 --> 00:06:05.300
delivers the baby And then the doctor just takes

00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:07.180
money and leaves. And yeah, he's like high drinking

00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:09.699
cough syrup the whole time. This guy plays a

00:06:09.699 --> 00:06:12.480
Hitler knockoff in Sholay. Oh, really? As a comic

00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.639
relief as well. Is this guy like a famous comedian

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.740
or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay, so

00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:19.980
it's like a cameo, right? Because I was like,

00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.500
who is this guy? Why is he playing such a big

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:26.639
role who does nothing? He's a big comedian and

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.319
like comic actor. And then, yeah, he has done

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.740
like this kind of comic relief a lot. He shows

00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:35.459
up and they're like, oh, the baby's done. He's

00:06:35.459 --> 00:06:37.839
like, great, glad I could help. And there's like,

00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.959
here's some money. And then he laughs and leaves

00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.459
and it's a huge scene. But yeah, the movie like

00:06:42.459 --> 00:06:44.639
goes bang right into it. I noticed how quick

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.779
it was. And then at the end too, it speeds by

00:06:47.779 --> 00:06:50.480
really quick too. So you just get this long middle

00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.620
and then very, very quick act one and act threes.

00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:56.399
Gotta have enough time to showcase all the abuse

00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.720
and beatings and slashings that go on. So they

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.040
have babies. So, like, the woman gives birth

00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.339
to a baby. The rich couple thanks the poor couple.

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:10.620
Like, hey, you know, thank you so much. You know,

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.779
how can we... Like, they said something like,

00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.220
how can we repay you? And then the poor father,

00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.860
the poor man, he says that, well, we wanted a

00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:22.480
child of our own. You know, so it would be nice

00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.720
if you could give us our blessings. And then

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.379
according to the subtitles, I don't know if they

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:28.959
translated very well, but, like, the rich dad

00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.569
says... Well, if we had twins, we would give

00:07:31.569 --> 00:07:33.810
away one of our daughters to you. That's what

00:07:33.810 --> 00:07:36.050
he says. That's exactly what he says. That's

00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:38.350
such a weird thing to say, man. It's like, you

00:07:38.350 --> 00:07:40.589
helped us so much in dire need. If we had like

00:07:40.589 --> 00:07:42.910
two kids, we would give one to you. Yeah. Something

00:07:42.910 --> 00:07:45.310
like that. But then they decided, like, you know,

00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:46.990
the rich couple, they, you know, with the baby

00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:48.670
in hand, they were like, you know, we'll be on

00:07:48.670 --> 00:07:50.730
our way. And then they leave. And then it turns

00:07:50.730 --> 00:07:54.519
out that the poor woman, she actually... tells

00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.439
her husband that actually they did give birth

00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.540
to twins, but she hid the other twin so that

00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:02.720
they could keep it for themselves. It's crazy.

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.360
And now, one technicality. I don't know. I've

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.740
never had kids, so I can't speak, but I assume

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:10.459
that the pain is severe enough that you know

00:08:10.459 --> 00:08:13.180
you're going through contractions and giving

00:08:13.180 --> 00:08:15.680
labor twice, right? There's no epidural. She's

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.519
giving birth in a house like this. this other

00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.319
woman is just acting like a midwife kind of thing

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.740
right so there's no drugs you're gonna feel you're

00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:24.980
pushing out two babies how can you miss that

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:27.079
like how can the woman not realize there were

00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.000
two two babies coming out from the baby she probably

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.800
passed out i guess that's the logic they make

00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.820
it seem like she was asleep you pass out after

00:08:34.820 --> 00:08:37.440
you can't be asleep you have to push right it's

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.940
like you're playing you know you close your eyes

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:43.399
and you open them and you have a baby none of

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.500
the writers probably because it's all male writers

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:49.120
I guess that's how that works right she like

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.700
doesn't feel anything or knows how it goes all

00:08:51.700 --> 00:08:53.279
those scenes of women screaming they're just

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.659
being dramatic they're laughing they're laughing

00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:58.639
in there she thought like one is the kid and

00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.820
the next one was a part it's like those MTV shows

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:05.159
where they take a shit and they had a baby on

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:06.960
accident and didn't know they were pregnant I

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.720
didn't know I was pregnant yeah I love that show

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.120
yeah but then you know she kidnaps this child

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.350
and says well you know we can give the love that

00:09:14.350 --> 00:09:17.110
rich people cannot give or something like that

00:09:17.110 --> 00:09:19.750
flash cut to slash cut to the to the present

00:09:19.750 --> 00:09:22.210
they're both grown up but i'll start off with

00:09:22.210 --> 00:09:26.070
the the rich the rich side first so so the the

00:09:26.070 --> 00:09:29.230
rich family conveniently the parents are dead

00:09:29.230 --> 00:09:32.350
they're dead no reason did they even tell you

00:09:32.350 --> 00:09:34.950
they're just like boom dead right but basically

00:09:34.950 --> 00:09:37.049
like the they're dead and they own this like

00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:39.129
huge mansion and the mansion is supposed to go

00:09:39.129 --> 00:09:42.659
to their daughter, whose name is Sita. And then

00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:46.240
she's basically, like, basically, like, it will

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.500
only go to her if she's, like, married to somebody,

00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:51.460
right? But instead, but for now, like, she's

00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:55.580
being taken care of by this, like, this aunt

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:58.360
and uncle. But, like, this aunt is, like, your

00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.440
typical evil, big, auntie character. Yeah. It's

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.960
like Cinderella. It's literally Cinderella, yeah.

00:10:06.139 --> 00:10:08.039
And then the uncle is, like, this really weak,

00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:12.539
submissive, useless of a like shell of a man

00:10:12.539 --> 00:10:15.240
basically I was so angry at the uncle I was like

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:19.399
you should die you shouldn't exist he seems good

00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.740
intention but he's just useless he doesn't seem

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:23.700
to agree with all the abuse and the way that

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:26.240
they treat Sita but yeah he's such a weak character

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.100
I hate him more what is the relationship between

00:10:30.100 --> 00:10:34.019
Sita and the aunt is that her real aunt that's

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:36.919
the real aunt so then I think she's related to

00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.320
the uncle and aunt is His wife. I don't think

00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.600
they ever. You have to. Because. They ever like.

00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:45.879
The aunt's brother. Is the uncle. Tries to rape

00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.639
Sita. Yeah. So. I think. That's not. He's not

00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:53.039
trying to rape his. Family member. Yeah. I think

00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:56.100
aunt is the in -law. Here. Right. Did they ever

00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:58.299
confirm that? Because I don't think, yeah. You'd

00:10:58.299 --> 00:11:00.320
have to be because he's not going to like rape

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.500
his own niece. What makes you say that? Maybe

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:04.919
he will. But there are plenty of cases. I feel

00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.580
like he could. I think, I think, I think because

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:10.840
whenever these kind of stories happen in Indian

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.059
cinema, like the compassionate one is kind of

00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:20.940
blood related and the more vile person is like

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:26.059
in laws. Like, I mean, related by And it's not

00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:28.279
really clear as well how old Sita is supposed

00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.679
to be in this movie, right? Because she gets

00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.840
allowances, but of course her aunt just takes

00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:34.779
it away from her. And at some point, you would

00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:37.080
think that she no longer is a minor, so she would

00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.419
have legal rights to all of her inheritance.

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.940
But it seems to be from the movie that she has

00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:44.200
to get married in order to claim that inheritance.

00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:46.740
Because until then, she's technically legally

00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:50.700
adopted by the aunt and uncle. Absurd. They're

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:53.860
also physically abusing her. So they want to

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:56.340
give her the money, but the aunt keeps just taking

00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:59.759
it for herself. They physically punish her. They

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.039
force her to do all the laundry, do all the cooking.

00:12:02.259 --> 00:12:04.740
They're mean to all of their servant staff. There's

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:08.759
another little old servant that they shit on

00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.720
all the time. And I think even if she's... Who's

00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.039
the grandmother? Yeah, I was gonna... What do

00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.720
you mean, who? And then there's a grandmother.

00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:18.799
There's a grandmother. Yeah, I mean, she's...

00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.990
I think she's blood -related. So let's say uncle

00:12:22.990 --> 00:12:26.570
is blood related. So it's either the mother's

00:12:26.570 --> 00:12:29.330
brother or a father's brother. Something like

00:12:29.330 --> 00:12:31.269
that. Did you say anything? Again, that doesn't

00:12:31.269 --> 00:12:32.970
become clear. But just seeing that there's no

00:12:32.970 --> 00:12:35.269
real relationship between the aunt and uncle

00:12:35.269 --> 00:12:37.190
and the grandma, you would think that they don't

00:12:37.190 --> 00:12:39.110
really care about her, right? They also put her

00:12:39.110 --> 00:12:40.690
in a room. She's really sick. They don't let

00:12:40.690 --> 00:12:42.389
her come and eat dinner with them at the table

00:12:42.389 --> 00:12:45.389
or anything like that. So that means that this

00:12:45.389 --> 00:12:51.559
uncle, his mom and his... his wife is abusing

00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.419
both of them. And he's just watching his wife

00:12:54.419 --> 00:12:57.840
abuse his mother and his niece, his brother's

00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.519
daughter. Yeah. That's why I hate him the most.

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.559
Yeah, he is the worst. The fat auntie. What's

00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.820
her name? Just auntie, right? Yeah. Kashalia

00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:08.980
or something. There was like the name Kashalia.

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:12.460
Oh, wow. Kashalia. She's incredibly evil. She's

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:14.759
one of the most evil people I've ever seen where

00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.960
she's just incredibly mean. She has... large

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.539
coats of makeup on so she looks like a like a

00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:24.120
mean clown and she's doing all these faces for

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:25.960
the camera and mugging and stuff and it's super

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.299
funny she's a very funny villain and she's just

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:32.899
incredibly like a very physical actor and she

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:35.620
just yeah is an incredible bitch to this woman

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:38.100
and you instantly hate the and and you feel very

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:41.220
bad for cita yeah they also have like the this

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:43.740
aunt and uncle they have their own child like

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:47.899
this bratty bratty daughter So basically, yeah,

00:13:47.940 --> 00:13:51.860
everyone is mean to Sita. Like Adam said, it's

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:54.840
like a Cinderella situation. You know, when all

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.460
that is happening, she was giving a lot of chores.

00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:02.240
She accidentally burns the dress of the bratty

00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:07.220
daughter. And she pretty much gets punished through

00:14:07.220 --> 00:14:12.710
all these dramatic slaps. And then they lock

00:14:12.710 --> 00:14:16.850
her up in a room and, you know, like the others

00:14:16.850 --> 00:14:18.769
have mentioned, there's also like the pervy,

00:14:18.870 --> 00:14:23.769
the aunt's pervy brother who's like always lusting

00:14:23.769 --> 00:14:25.970
after Sita and always saying that, you know,

00:14:25.990 --> 00:14:28.450
he would like marry her and like get her out

00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:33.110
of the situation. And basically it culminates

00:14:33.110 --> 00:14:35.509
in like a scene where they're like, she's about

00:14:35.509 --> 00:14:38.169
to get raped. And when he doesn't get to have

00:14:38.169 --> 00:14:41.289
his way, he frames her for stealing a wallet.

00:14:41.850 --> 00:14:48.909
And also, like everyone said, the only way that

00:14:48.909 --> 00:14:51.350
she can own the mansion is if she gets married.

00:14:51.570 --> 00:14:54.850
And there's a lot of suitors that come to offer

00:14:54.850 --> 00:14:57.549
their proposals, but then the aunt and uncle,

00:14:57.769 --> 00:15:01.570
they would do everything they can to prevent

00:15:01.570 --> 00:15:04.889
that from happening. For one example, they dress

00:15:04.889 --> 00:15:10.250
Sita up to be this like provocative disco dancer

00:15:10.250 --> 00:15:13.149
disco dancer they said like oh the west has surely

00:15:13.149 --> 00:15:15.389
is more progressive than us or whatever i thought

00:15:15.389 --> 00:15:17.070
it was a little weird i mean there's nothing

00:15:17.070 --> 00:15:19.590
provocative to me there was nothing provocative

00:15:19.590 --> 00:15:21.309
with what she was wearing but again again you

00:15:21.309 --> 00:15:22.850
know i guess it's like a culture she had a short

00:15:22.850 --> 00:15:26.909
skirt she had heels she had Like fishnet stockings,

00:15:26.909 --> 00:15:29.909
kind of. And you can see she's very uncomfortably

00:15:29.909 --> 00:15:32.850
unable to walk in the heels. And the aunt orders

00:15:32.850 --> 00:15:35.669
her to carry a cup of tea, a tray of tea to them

00:15:35.669 --> 00:15:38.429
in those heels. And then she just slips and falls,

00:15:38.549 --> 00:15:41.610
splashes it everywhere. But the guy reveals later

00:15:41.610 --> 00:15:46.220
that he saw the daughter of the aunt. like kind

00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:49.259
of kicking her kicking her so that like she trips

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:52.220
i mean it was not shown on the visual but like

00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:55.440
later okay we'll come that come to that later

00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:59.440
scene but yeah i i don't understand like i mean

00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.399
i i understand well but it is very much like

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.139
you know all western women bad indian women good

00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:08.700
kind of it plays in that dynamic and it's very

00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:13.039
eyesore and like it sounds so bad to me i kind

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.100
of cringed yeah i cringed a bit like i was like

00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:17.480
it was super cringy yeah but that's because the

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.159
doctor the suitor was looking for a traditional

00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.820
nice indian woman that will cook you know so

00:16:22.820 --> 00:16:24.759
basically the aunt just tried to present him

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:26.759
of the exact opposite so that he would not be

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.539
interested in marrying yeah i i like how the

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:32.419
good character in this film has these regressive

00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:36.679
values and that plays out i love that part like

00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.789
it's it actually brings out that what people

00:16:40.789 --> 00:16:43.090
think was right because from filmmakers point

00:16:43.090 --> 00:16:45.129
of view that these are right things to say in

00:16:45.129 --> 00:16:47.529
a film from a good person's point of view and

00:16:47.529 --> 00:16:51.730
that comes out as those dialogues and those point

00:16:51.730 --> 00:16:54.330
of view of good characters quote -unquote so

00:16:54.330 --> 00:16:57.690
yeah so that was like pretty cringe and pretty

00:16:57.690 --> 00:17:02.580
funny to see like oh Like, yeah, I come from

00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:06.160
the West. I come from there. The women have everything.

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.420
They're pretty good, but they don't have values.

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.759
Yeah, it's like that. It's very class -coded.

00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:13.779
I mean, the whole movie is about class and passing

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:18.059
and being born in different places and then having

00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:23.099
different class codes, but they're interchangeable,

00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.420
right? So it makes sense that they're just constantly

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:28.559
showing you scenes of people pretending to be

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.400
in different classes and stuff. Yeah, the suitor

00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.960
is, like, a doctor who's played by... What's

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.460
his name? Sanjeev Kumar. Sanjeev Kumar. Yeah,

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.680
and then that's the rich part, right? And then

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.519
you have the poor side of things where the other

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.559
person, played by the same actress, Hima Malini,

00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:49.980
she... This is Gita. She's basically, like, this,

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.500
like, gypsy street performer. She performs...

00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:55.980
Like, she, like, does, like, tightrope walking

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:59.710
with this other dude. That's played by Dharmendra.

00:17:59.890 --> 00:18:02.670
This guy is the father of Sunny and Bobby Deol.

00:18:02.829 --> 00:18:05.950
So he's also like an elite Bollywood family.

00:18:06.289 --> 00:18:08.309
But yeah, like this Gita, she's like, you know,

00:18:08.309 --> 00:18:11.170
she's the complete opposite of Sita. She's like

00:18:11.170 --> 00:18:13.549
very boisterous. She's very like headstrong,

00:18:13.690 --> 00:18:17.390
like does a lot of like unfeminine. She has a

00:18:17.390 --> 00:18:20.269
lot of unfeminine qualities. Like she like steals

00:18:20.269 --> 00:18:22.769
some money, can fight back and stands up for

00:18:22.769 --> 00:18:25.569
herself. But she's also... The most attractive.

00:18:26.470 --> 00:18:29.630
Yeah. So, for me, like, the Gita parts in the

00:18:29.630 --> 00:18:32.109
whole movie were the most entertaining. Yeah.

00:18:32.150 --> 00:18:35.730
But, like, the Sita parts were just so aggravating

00:18:35.730 --> 00:18:38.190
to get through. Because, like, this woman, when

00:18:38.190 --> 00:18:41.970
she's playing as Sita, she's, like, so submissive,

00:18:41.970 --> 00:18:44.329
never stands up for herself, is always, like,

00:18:44.329 --> 00:18:47.670
weak. And it was just so hard to see everyone,

00:18:47.789 --> 00:18:51.180
like, abuse the shit out of her. Yeah, they definitely

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:53.380
paint it as, like, as opposite ends of the extreme.

00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:55.539
It can be really frustrating to see Sita, you

00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:57.400
know, like, yeah, she cannot speak up for herself

00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.420
at all. And I wish maybe the producers tried

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:02.599
a bit more to show, like, some character development

00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.539
or some voice, but I think because they also

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:07.579
painted Gita at quite an extreme of being such

00:19:07.579 --> 00:19:10.599
a independent, dignified, like, fiery, fierce

00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.119
woman, they wanted to show kind of those polar

00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.420
opposites. But it does feel like the Gita parts

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:17.640
were more fleshed out. Then the seats apart.

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.200
Does anyone get that vibe? Well, you have to

00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.400
have two extremes. And if it's the same actor,

00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.900
you can't have them too similar. And that makes

00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:29.380
the Sita character just suck as a character.

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.339
But over the period, there should have been some

00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:37.049
character arc where she learns how to... like

00:19:37.049 --> 00:19:39.150
you know speak back or something like talk back

00:19:39.150 --> 00:19:42.470
that is lacking that is super lacking like till

00:19:42.470 --> 00:19:45.269
the end like she's like the same person like

00:19:45.269 --> 00:19:48.410
there's no change but it's also interesting that

00:19:48.410 --> 00:19:50.109
they paint like adam was talking about class

00:19:50.109 --> 00:19:53.750
dynamics and usually you would expect the alternative

00:19:53.750 --> 00:19:55.609
right you would expect someone from an upper

00:19:55.609 --> 00:19:58.289
class to kind of be more empowered but it's really

00:19:58.289 --> 00:20:01.440
interesting that this movie painted Sita as coming

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.440
from a rich, wealthy family and having no voice,

00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:07.460
no power at all. Whereas Gita, like her mom said

00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:09.119
that we'll just give her love and she'll grow

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.140
to be fine. And that did seem to work. Like she

00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:12.740
did not need that wealth in that background.

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:15.859
She did end up, you know, in a pretty good self

00:20:15.859 --> 00:20:18.559
independent position. I think there's a very

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.640
interesting dynamic that 20 years later, you

00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.700
wouldn't see in Bollywood films. Maybe I think

00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:27.440
after Keijo and stuff, it becomes a lot more

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.220
aspirational for rich people. I think during

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:32.980
this time, again, same time as Disco Dancer and

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:39.019
stuff, there isn't the universal idea that, yeah,

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.279
rich people are super nice and lovely. And it's

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.079
like a Vanity Fair magazine ad, you know, like

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:47.880
the Keijo films. And so this was a cool time

00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:50.579
when they admitted that the landowners sucked

00:20:50.579 --> 00:20:53.779
and were really mean and not nice. And it's not

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:56.890
a good position to be in. you know, love is perhaps

00:20:56.890 --> 00:20:58.930
more important. Exactly. It's a good message

00:20:58.930 --> 00:21:01.049
to have. I think if you did this 20 years later,

00:21:01.109 --> 00:21:02.849
you wouldn't have had that. I think it would

00:21:02.849 --> 00:21:04.630
have been more of a Prince and a Pauper scenario

00:21:04.630 --> 00:21:07.890
where, oh, or even Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan,

00:21:08.009 --> 00:21:09.730
where she's just with rich parents and it's really

00:21:09.730 --> 00:21:12.549
cool. And you don't see anyone being rude or

00:21:12.549 --> 00:21:14.829
mean based off their position of power, which

00:21:14.829 --> 00:21:17.410
changes the whole movie. It's not as fun. Yeah.

00:21:17.910 --> 00:21:20.009
So now we're in the next part where they like

00:21:20.009 --> 00:21:25.339
switch sides, right? Oh, sorry. Wait. The scene

00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:29.039
with Gita when they're doing the big performance

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:31.140
for the first one reminded me a lot of Disco

00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:33.839
Dancer 2 because it's traveling gypsies. They

00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.240
did the same thing, right? They're just playing

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:37.980
in front of crowds. They go around from crowds

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:40.000
to crowds playing music, doing tricks for the

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.380
people and stuff. It's the exact same dynamic

00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:44.619
and I thought that was pretty interesting. I've

00:21:44.619 --> 00:21:47.440
seen those people as a kid. They're everywhere.

00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.460
What did you perform when you were doing it for

00:21:50.460 --> 00:21:53.299
crowds? Were you jumping on the pole or what?

00:21:53.710 --> 00:21:56.089
I was climbing the pole and slipping the pole

00:21:56.089 --> 00:21:59.450
for like climbing four centimeter and slipping

00:21:59.450 --> 00:22:00.950
down three centimeter. Wow, that's really cool.

00:22:01.009 --> 00:22:02.769
I would have paid money to see that. Half Gita,

00:22:02.869 --> 00:22:06.210
half Sita. I like that they don't talk about

00:22:06.210 --> 00:22:08.490
the name choices and they just name their daughters

00:22:08.490 --> 00:22:11.869
the exact same rhyming name. Perhaps it was destiny.

00:22:12.150 --> 00:22:15.589
Perhaps. Perhaps it was fate. Yeah. The gypsy

00:22:15.589 --> 00:22:20.529
characterizations and then their customs and

00:22:20.529 --> 00:22:23.980
things, it kind of very much... uh if we like

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:27.740
shape like nitpick about this thing it's it's

00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:30.940
not that well made it's kind of written from

00:22:30.940 --> 00:22:33.880
a very like you know elite point of view but

00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:36.539
i'll give it a pass in this film because it's

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:38.559
it's yeah i mean it is what it is but they're

00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.380
nice to the gypsies and again gita is the hottest

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:44.599
one yeah like i just want to know but i want

00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.480
to say they don't look down on gypsies or her

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:50.859
and I just want to say, Hima's a great actor

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:53.319
for portraying two people, and one seems very

00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:55.720
cool and attractive, and one doesn't. Just based

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.319
off her performance, I want to point that out.

00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:01.180
Good job, Hima. They don't look down upon the

00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:04.880
gypsies, for sure, yeah. Anyway. Oh, yeah, anyway,

00:23:04.940 --> 00:23:09.240
the switch up. So, yeah, Sita is getting abused,

00:23:09.339 --> 00:23:11.359
so she decides that life is not worth living

00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.920
anymore, so she decides to off herself. And how

00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.880
does she do that? She jumps off. Like this bridge.

00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:26.440
Into the river. Where the. Raka. He's the street

00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.440
performer. He thought that was Gita jumping.

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:32.859
But then he realizes. It must be Gita offing

00:23:32.859 --> 00:23:36.700
herself. Because what we find out is like. On

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:39.900
Gita's end. She was caught like slacking off.

00:23:40.140 --> 00:23:42.319
And then Raka kind of like. Calls her out for

00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:44.960
like not. Being at home or something. And he

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.930
thought that like you know. His. Okay, so Raka

00:23:49.930 --> 00:23:51.910
and Gita's, like, dynamic is, like, they have,

00:23:51.990 --> 00:23:55.269
like, a very, like, love -hate relationship where

00:23:55.269 --> 00:23:57.950
they, like, always, like, quarrel with each other.

00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:01.400
But they're lovers? No, no, no, not lovers. But

00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:05.059
Gita's mom wants her to marry Raka. And to her,

00:24:05.059 --> 00:24:07.200
that's an absurd idea. It almost seems more like

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:09.900
a brotherly friend relationship, right? And I

00:24:09.900 --> 00:24:11.619
think that's also one of the reasons why she

00:24:11.619 --> 00:24:13.579
decided to run away. You see that kind of clash

00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:16.480
with her mom. And she stands up and answers back.

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:19.140
She's not going to give in to any of these demands

00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:21.920
or anything. But from Raka's point of view, it

00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.400
was very absurd. So why he falls for Sita and

00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.960
not Gita? Because he wanted like a sushi lurkey.

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:35.380
Like, you know, he wanted a calm version of Gita.

00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:37.799
Like, who would not bully him or something like

00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.619
that. Both guys want Sita. Yeah. No, he doesn't

00:24:41.619 --> 00:24:47.519
want. He didn't like, he wants the, no, Sita

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.099
is the rich one. No, you're right. He just wanted

00:24:50.099 --> 00:24:53.069
her to dress like. Yeah, he wants, like, a hotter

00:24:53.069 --> 00:24:56.029
version, like, who is, like, outspoken and, like,

00:24:56.109 --> 00:24:58.650
I mean, he falls for that. Which is kind of ironic

00:24:58.650 --> 00:25:00.569
as well, because initially he says that he wants

00:25:00.569 --> 00:25:02.809
a traditional woman who will cook and everything,

00:25:02.910 --> 00:25:04.990
but then he meets Gita and he ends up falling

00:25:04.990 --> 00:25:08.509
for her. So, yeah, like, Sita, who's running

00:25:08.509 --> 00:25:11.369
away from the aunt and uncle, she jumps into

00:25:11.369 --> 00:25:15.940
the river, Raka decides to save her, and... He

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:20.039
brings her to the poor family, and the entire

00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:22.579
community thinks that that's Gita. And the mother

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:26.099
goes to Sita and says, like, hey, you know, everything's

00:25:26.099 --> 00:25:29.500
gonna be alright. I'm gonna give you all the

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:32.359
care you need. And I guess that's what makes

00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:35.460
Sita stay, because she's surrounded by people

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:38.599
who love her. Yeah, this is the moment where

00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.640
you have to really suspend this belief, because...

00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:45.660
all it takes is her to say what the fuck are

00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:48.619
you talking about no i'm not all you can say

00:25:48.619 --> 00:25:50.220
yeah she just has to say that but no she just

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:53.380
gives in to like all the love i'm this person

00:25:53.380 --> 00:25:57.319
she was offing herself okay now this seems like

00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:01.059
this feels like uh like heaven to her like you

00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:03.720
know everyone loving for loving her taking care

00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:06.579
of her doesn't matter the money or anything like

00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:09.140
treating her like a human being so this is heaven

00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:12.119
for her so she's like okay i'm gonna just buy

00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:15.220
into like If I was hanging out with any one of

00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:17.380
you and someone that looked like you but acted

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:19.640
different and didn't know who they were came

00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:23.299
in, I wouldn't assume it was still you. I would

00:26:23.299 --> 00:26:25.640
ask more questions. This is also funny, right?

00:26:25.660 --> 00:26:27.539
Because they're obviously so different and Sita

00:26:27.539 --> 00:26:29.619
cannot do any of the tightrope moves and the

00:26:29.619 --> 00:26:32.359
circus moves that Gita used to do. And the only

00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:34.599
person who knows what's happened here is the

00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:37.859
mom, like Gita's mom, who is now... sita's mom

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:40.779
also and so she should have been able to connect

00:26:40.779 --> 00:26:43.099
the dots when her daughter comes back acting

00:26:43.099 --> 00:26:46.039
so drastically different but it never dawns on

00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:48.299
her until much later in the movie they just keep

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:50.420
making up the excuse like oh she must have jumped

00:26:50.420 --> 00:26:52.599
in the river and knocked her head and she just

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.460
changed and has like a different viewpoint or

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:57.819
whatever she has no idea who we are what's going

00:26:57.819 --> 00:27:01.519
on perfect she should have clocked it out like

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:04.880
yeah you're absolutely right like yeah that's

00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.299
the suspension of disbelief that no one clocked

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:10.619
her not that she stayed back so while that was

00:27:10.619 --> 00:27:13.119
happening right the the aunt and uncle from from

00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:15.140
the from the mansion they were so worried that

00:27:15.140 --> 00:27:17.200
they could get in trouble so they they put out

00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:20.400
like a missing persons report to the police they

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.440
will not get the money so they will not they

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:23.920
won't get the money that's like the main point

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.000
yes and then they put out a missing person report

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.980
to quickly get her back so uh and also like auntie's

00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:33.500
brother suddenly flies to Delhi after trying

00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:36.819
to like attempt attempt to rape her how convenient

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:40.920
and then like well that was happening Gita was

00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.940
basically like Gita the gypsy was basically I

00:27:43.940 --> 00:27:46.599
have to clarify that in case anyone listening

00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:48.779
gets confused because it's a little hard to follow

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:52.339
but Gita the gypsy she decides to like sort out

00:27:52.339 --> 00:27:56.430
this like like issue with this kid where like

00:27:56.430 --> 00:27:59.190
his money was stolen by some gambler yeah and

00:27:59.190 --> 00:28:01.750
then like stolen like she he gambled and he lost

00:28:01.750 --> 00:28:04.289
the money and this gita rightfully was like why

00:28:04.289 --> 00:28:06.630
are you taking money from kids like kids shouldn't

00:28:06.630 --> 00:28:08.849
you shouldn't allow kids to gamble so she takes

00:28:08.849 --> 00:28:11.609
the gambler to the to the to the to the police

00:28:11.609 --> 00:28:13.910
station and then the police inspector notices

00:28:13.910 --> 00:28:16.769
hey wait a minute gita is that's the missing

00:28:16.769 --> 00:28:21.049
person that's sita she has a framed photo of

00:28:21.049 --> 00:28:23.130
sita's face because that's what they gave to

00:28:23.130 --> 00:28:26.019
the police Find this woman, and he just pulls

00:28:26.019 --> 00:28:27.819
open his drawer and just sees a framed photo,

00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:29.140
and he's like, that's the exact same person.

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.859
And, like, photograph technology back in the

00:28:31.859 --> 00:28:33.640
day? I don't know, you think it was that accurate?

00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:37.539
Yeah, so he was like, you must be the missing

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:39.819
person. And, like, I don't know, like, Gita kind

00:28:39.819 --> 00:28:41.640
of, like, you get, like, this scene where she

00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:46.119
fights off the police, the policemen, like, in

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:49.519
a very comical way, yeah. That's a beautiful

00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.990
scene. She's like Bugs Bunny. And just is very

00:28:52.990 --> 00:28:55.230
anti -authority and is pranking them the whole

00:28:55.230 --> 00:28:57.680
time and then does different. comic pranks and

00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:59.619
then she like ends up sitting on a fan at the

00:28:59.619 --> 00:29:02.339
top yeah they called in the uncle and aunt and

00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:04.079
then right away they didn't notice the change

00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.779
in the fact that gita is like always talking

00:29:06.779 --> 00:29:09.579
back to the aunt and uncle she's always having

00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:12.099
like these quick retorts like these comebacks

00:29:12.099 --> 00:29:15.039
gita basically starts calling the aunt fat you

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.420
fat woman is that what she's saying yeah just

00:29:18.420 --> 00:29:23.140
to show like how how much of a different character

00:29:23.140 --> 00:29:25.819
she is from Sita, but whatever, like, the aunt

00:29:25.819 --> 00:29:28.279
and uncle, they didn't notice anything different,

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.740
they decided to take Gita back, only, like, for

00:29:31.740 --> 00:29:33.500
a while, and then, like... I think Gita like

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:35.759
jumps on a tree branch and then we get this scene

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:38.839
where the aunt and uncle tells like a team of

00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:43.339
female hockey players. So random. Was that weird?

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:46.359
It was a young team too. They were like young

00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:48.480
girls. They were wearing like short shorts. I'm

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:51.039
like, where is this coming from? Is this normal

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.539
back home? They were like cricket players or

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:55.660
something. They're hockey players. They're just

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:58.539
returning home from some camp or something and

00:29:58.539 --> 00:30:00.940
they're like, oh, she's mental. Can you help

00:30:00.940 --> 00:30:04.170
me get her? They're like, okay, let's help this.

00:30:04.289 --> 00:30:06.130
The girls immediately spring into action. They're

00:30:06.130 --> 00:30:09.809
like, go team, go. Rescue service. Yeah. And

00:30:09.809 --> 00:30:11.930
then like, so Gita runs away from that hockey

00:30:11.930 --> 00:30:15.490
team and then she bumps into the doctor who previously

00:30:15.490 --> 00:30:19.230
was trying to like do the proposal with Sita.

00:30:20.069 --> 00:30:23.440
But like the doc. Another thing that I noticed

00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:26.599
is that all the cars in this movie, they never

00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:29.259
lock their doors. They never lock the trunks

00:30:29.259 --> 00:30:33.299
or doors. This is the 70s. Yeah, explain how

00:30:33.299 --> 00:30:37.059
she ends up with it. She, like, goes to the back

00:30:37.059 --> 00:30:41.099
of the car. His car is broken down. Yeah. Oh,

00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:43.279
and she's getting chased by police. The hockey

00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.779
team. Oh, the hockey team's chasing her. Yes.

00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.480
She sees the car broken down. She sinks into

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.650
the car. And then just surprises him by, like,

00:30:51.690 --> 00:30:55.230
peering up the back seat. He freaks out. And

00:30:55.230 --> 00:30:58.329
then, like, he, like, puts on the brakes. And

00:30:58.329 --> 00:31:01.190
then, like, it pushes them to hold together.

00:31:01.750 --> 00:31:04.230
Like, hug each other. And they get this, like,

00:31:04.710 --> 00:31:07.410
lovely, like, typical, like, stare in the face,

00:31:07.509 --> 00:31:09.769
fall in love moment. They look at each other

00:31:09.769 --> 00:31:12.650
for three seconds. She decides she's going to

00:31:12.650 --> 00:31:15.569
give up her entire previous life. And not mention

00:31:15.569 --> 00:31:18.529
anything about it. And not go back to her family

00:31:18.529 --> 00:31:20.990
or tell her mom. She says, I will stick with

00:31:20.990 --> 00:31:22.890
this guy forever because his eyes are pretty.

00:31:23.369 --> 00:31:24.970
And then they have to deal with the guy that

00:31:24.970 --> 00:31:28.049
hit the back of their car. And he's rich. None

00:31:28.049 --> 00:31:30.430
of this is accurate, by the way. That's completely

00:31:30.430 --> 00:31:32.630
accurate. None of this is accurate. I don't know.

00:31:32.750 --> 00:31:35.150
What happens that's different? It's a coincidence

00:31:35.150 --> 00:31:37.549
on her part, right? So she doesn't know that

00:31:37.549 --> 00:31:40.089
this is a suitor. He obviously recognizes her.

00:31:40.170 --> 00:31:43.750
He thinks that she's Sita. But she knows the

00:31:43.750 --> 00:31:45.470
other alternative is that she's going to end

00:31:45.470 --> 00:31:47.670
up in that aunt's house. And so she just rides

00:31:47.670 --> 00:31:49.430
along with him. She kind of asks him, like, where

00:31:49.430 --> 00:31:51.710
are you going? He tells her his destination.

00:31:51.849 --> 00:31:53.670
She's just like, OK, then that's where I'm going

00:31:53.670 --> 00:31:56.470
as well. You know, so she's right now her priority

00:31:56.470 --> 00:31:58.829
is to escape that aunt and figure out what the

00:31:58.829 --> 00:32:01.069
hell is going on. I don't think she fell in love

00:32:01.069 --> 00:32:03.609
with him. There is no romance initially besides

00:32:03.609 --> 00:32:07.789
that they lock eyes. it happens later yeah it

00:32:07.789 --> 00:32:10.029
happens it kind of progresses over time but he

00:32:10.029 --> 00:32:12.410
stays with him and then never goes back home

00:32:12.410 --> 00:32:15.009
she does wait wait wait i'll explain that i'll

00:32:15.009 --> 00:32:17.730
explain that in a bit but like they he brings

00:32:17.730 --> 00:32:20.150
her home and then he's he gets like all these

00:32:20.150 --> 00:32:22.210
it gets very pervy right like oh you're wearing

00:32:22.210 --> 00:32:23.809
these gypsy clothes look at you i don't know

00:32:23.809 --> 00:32:25.990
yeah because his parents are gonna come and his

00:32:25.990 --> 00:32:27.890
parents are obviously very traditional so he's

00:32:27.890 --> 00:32:30.170
just kind of like look you understand my parents

00:32:30.170 --> 00:32:32.650
are here please go put on a sari he doesn't do

00:32:32.650 --> 00:32:35.890
it in a kind of forceful way i'd say just kind

00:32:35.890 --> 00:32:38.230
of like okay yeah you know just just to show

00:32:38.230 --> 00:32:40.529
a good image because the last time they met you

00:32:40.529 --> 00:32:43.730
you were wearing like western fishnets and so

00:32:43.730 --> 00:32:45.829
he just wanted to give them a good image right

00:32:45.829 --> 00:32:48.190
and she's still playing along with that yeah

00:32:48.190 --> 00:32:50.849
she's not like what are you talking about this

00:32:50.849 --> 00:32:53.009
isn't me but at this point she's assumed the

00:32:53.009 --> 00:32:55.069
role of sita she understands that she understands

00:32:55.069 --> 00:32:57.349
there's a sita who looks like her i'd say because

00:32:57.349 --> 00:32:59.650
the aunt comes after her and also i think she

00:32:59.650 --> 00:33:01.599
understands that There's something else going

00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.519
on here. I think we gotta, like, suspend our

00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:06.119
disbelief a little bit more. I think she's playing

00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.220
along. I think she's, like, she's an adventurous

00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:10.539
person and she's just playing along. Like, let's

00:33:10.539 --> 00:33:13.640
see what happens. Like, we have a mood. But suspense

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:17.319
is being disbelieving for a bigger... Okay, alright.

00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:21.059
The meter of suspension is broken. So, yeah,

00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:23.380
like, so, yeah, basically, like, they end up

00:33:23.380 --> 00:33:25.880
in his place. He tells her to, like, dress more

00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:27.440
appropriately because the parents are coming

00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.990
over. Parents come over and then, like, They

00:33:30.990 --> 00:33:33.970
were saying, like, oh, now you look very appropriate.

00:33:34.190 --> 00:33:37.470
I thought there was some charade, like, some

00:33:37.470 --> 00:33:40.930
shady shit going on back in the mansion. And

00:33:40.930 --> 00:33:43.650
that's when, like, Gita revealed all, like, the

00:33:43.650 --> 00:33:46.230
evil aunt who, like, pretends to be nice in front

00:33:46.230 --> 00:33:48.650
of other people but is, like, very, such a mean

00:33:48.650 --> 00:33:51.390
bitch when they're just alone. But also, just

00:33:51.390 --> 00:33:54.309
to note that, like, so Gita experienced the aunt

00:33:54.309 --> 00:33:56.170
and uncle for about five or ten minutes in the

00:33:56.170 --> 00:33:58.470
car, right? And that was enough for her to kind

00:33:58.470 --> 00:34:00.829
of... connect the dots on what's happening and

00:34:00.829 --> 00:34:03.650
reveal that to the in -laws yeah and then very

00:34:03.650 --> 00:34:05.869
quickly very quickly figures out what's happening

00:34:05.869 --> 00:34:08.170
to an abused person and you know the parents

00:34:08.170 --> 00:34:10.690
warm up to gita who thinks it's sita right and

00:34:10.690 --> 00:34:12.889
then we have this like the next scene i remember

00:34:12.889 --> 00:34:16.289
now the next scene is basically the doctor and

00:34:16.289 --> 00:34:20.780
gita trying to roller skate Right, which is their

00:34:20.780 --> 00:34:22.800
big love sex song. Yeah, this is now when they

00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.500
fall in love. Also because the moment he sees

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:26.260
her in a sari, he kind of falls in love with

00:34:26.260 --> 00:34:30.519
her. That's so funny. With the blue outfit. And

00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:33.219
she likes him. Yeah, she just likes him. She

00:34:33.219 --> 00:34:35.139
just falls for him. But that does not take center

00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:37.280
stage in the movie. I think you're trying to

00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.340
claim Adam. Everything she does is for him. No,

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:41.099
you see that? I disagree with that completely.

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:44.400
Okay, anyway, the rollerblading scene. The rollerblading

00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:47.559
scene is very ridiculous because like... like

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:50.659
they you get like this musical uh montage right

00:34:50.659 --> 00:34:52.780
of which is a plus it's been so long since we've

00:34:52.780 --> 00:34:55.820
seen songs in a bollywood movie i was so happy

00:34:55.820 --> 00:34:57.739
to see this it's like they're just falling in

00:34:57.739 --> 00:34:59.760
love and everything and then it ends with this

00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:04.000
like comedy scene where it's like she just cannot

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:08.159
stop rollerblading and then starts bumping into

00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.070
people Like, there was a monkey and there was,

00:35:11.070 --> 00:35:15.250
like, an old man in a bike. And, like, you could

00:35:15.250 --> 00:35:18.590
literally just stop. Stop, you know? But, like,

00:35:18.610 --> 00:35:20.809
she just keeps on rolling. I have a lot of qualms

00:35:20.809 --> 00:35:23.269
with this scene because this woman can single

00:35:23.269 --> 00:35:25.030
-handedly take down the whole police station.

00:35:25.389 --> 00:35:27.849
She can walk on a tightrope. She can do all these

00:35:27.849 --> 00:35:30.690
cool circus tricks, right? But rollerblading...

00:35:31.099 --> 00:35:33.400
is where her knowledge ends she's a street performer

00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:35.980
first he has to teach her how to skate and then

00:35:35.980 --> 00:35:37.619
when she finally does get the hang of it she

00:35:37.619 --> 00:35:39.699
doesn't know how to fucking stop herself yeah

00:35:39.699 --> 00:35:43.659
i know when she's learned so quickly i was like

00:35:43.659 --> 00:35:46.880
yeah bang on because like she's like a she does

00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:49.940
that for a job like tricky like uh like no like

00:35:49.940 --> 00:35:52.360
those kind of gymnastic things so she picked

00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.559
up rollers because learning roller blading is

00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:58.260
not that easy right and those streets those indian

00:35:58.260 --> 00:36:01.079
streets those rocky streets are very difficult

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:04.420
hey they start like off off road first right

00:36:04.420 --> 00:36:08.079
not even on the like a beach asphalt street yeah

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:10.679
like which in the mountains is nicer i can understand

00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:14.559
but like they start off road like off -road roller

00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.599
skating so but when she picked up pretty quickly

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:19.659
i was like yeah that's that's where her skill

00:36:19.659 --> 00:36:22.599
is like to learning but then somehow she cannot

00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.519
stop herself that was like oh what the yeah initially

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:27.019
i thought she was pretending like she knows how

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:28.940
to rollerblade she was just trying to make him

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:31.320
feel useful as a man cita wouldn't know how to

00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:35.320
stop cita would eat shit for five minutes it's

00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:39.360
a really long live action cartoon segment it

00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.059
is a straight up looney tunes like bugs bunny

00:36:42.059 --> 00:36:45.179
thing where she's rolling down there's two guys

00:36:45.179 --> 00:36:47.900
carrying a big stick and then she grabs the stick

00:36:47.900 --> 00:36:50.239
and then she has to spin around so she doesn't

00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:52.960
hit people it's a very very long looney tunes

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:55.539
scene yeah but in the end she gets captured she

00:36:55.539 --> 00:36:57.119
gets captured she bumps into all these people

00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:59.119
and the police manage to just like capture all

00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:02.250
the the commotion so they sent her back to the

00:37:02.250 --> 00:37:05.369
mansion where she meets like the entire evil

00:37:05.369 --> 00:37:09.150
family and it's at that point that she realizes

00:37:09.150 --> 00:37:11.449
like there's something messed up going on right

00:37:11.449 --> 00:37:15.010
she meets the grandmother and basically she can

00:37:15.010 --> 00:37:17.429
tell that right from the get -go that the grandmother

00:37:17.429 --> 00:37:20.429
is like being abused she's like a prisoner of

00:37:20.429 --> 00:37:23.309
war prisoner of war like they the servants tell

00:37:23.309 --> 00:37:26.920
her like Oh, because they still think that Gita

00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.039
is Sita, right? They say that ever since Sita

00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.360
ran away from home, the aunt has been taking

00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:33.780
it out on the grandmother. And that's when Gita

00:37:33.780 --> 00:37:36.199
realizes, you know what? I'm going to assume

00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.780
the position of Sita and fight this injustice

00:37:39.780 --> 00:37:42.980
and stand up for the grandmother, stand up to

00:37:42.980 --> 00:37:46.820
this aunt. Are we going to suspend our disbelief?

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:49.719
Let's just take up this role right now. Think

00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:51.989
about if you're in that position. and you wanted

00:37:51.989 --> 00:37:54.989
to help the grandma, what would you do? Would

00:37:54.989 --> 00:37:58.150
it be assuming the role of Sita? Or would you

00:37:58.150 --> 00:38:01.429
report it to someone? That was my favorite part

00:38:01.429 --> 00:38:05.110
as a kid. And even now, so like when I was a

00:38:05.110 --> 00:38:07.050
kid, like I used to watch this film, but never

00:38:07.050 --> 00:38:10.369
watched the film in its entirety. Like, you know,

00:38:10.409 --> 00:38:13.260
like... classic killy maneuver i mean i used

00:38:13.260 --> 00:38:15.239
to watch like you know whenever it used to be

00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.820
on tv a lot and then like you know depends on

00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:19.739
like what i'm doing and what time of the day

00:38:19.739 --> 00:38:22.139
i'm starting to watch i would watch like part

00:38:22.139 --> 00:38:24.960
of the film but if when i watched this film uh

00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:27.139
this time i realized that i have to watch the

00:38:27.139 --> 00:38:31.019
whole thing at some point and then i so so this

00:38:31.019 --> 00:38:33.980
was the part that was like most enticing to me

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:37.039
when gita takes up the role of sita in in the

00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:40.800
house and then like bullies back every single

00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:43.579
one of them and then i i love that part of the

00:38:43.579 --> 00:38:46.079
film and this is your wet dream you're like i

00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:48.559
want to treat my family members like this yeah

00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:54.050
there we go so yeah like uh gita assumes the

00:38:54.050 --> 00:38:56.489
position of sita and straight off like you know

00:38:56.489 --> 00:39:00.210
she she gets abused by the aunt the aunt slaps

00:39:00.210 --> 00:39:03.309
her a lot but you know she's not sita right gita

00:39:03.309 --> 00:39:06.190
wouldn't take that shit so what does gita do

00:39:06.190 --> 00:39:08.590
she like actually fights back and you get like

00:39:08.590 --> 00:39:12.130
this really like i would say uh satisfying scene

00:39:12.130 --> 00:39:15.989
where she slaps the the aunt back and basically

00:39:15.989 --> 00:39:18.730
like bosses her around and orders her to like

00:39:18.730 --> 00:39:22.320
cook food you know make some dinner she even

00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:24.679
tells the bratty daughter to like you know clean

00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:26.960
the house taking over the situation basically

00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:29.539
yes i love the way that this was framed in the

00:39:29.539 --> 00:39:32.380
movie because usually even if a woman is going

00:39:32.380 --> 00:39:34.920
to try to fight back against like these oppressive

00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:37.019
family obligations they would try to portray

00:39:37.019 --> 00:39:39.599
it in a more noble way you do it in a dignified

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:41.780
way maybe you don't use violence right you kind

00:39:41.780 --> 00:39:44.670
of find another route She doesn't go on a hunger

00:39:44.670 --> 00:39:46.530
strike or anything. Right, right. But this movie

00:39:46.530 --> 00:39:48.989
very much just kind of shows like, yeah, if people

00:39:48.989 --> 00:39:51.190
are physically bullying you, you just got to

00:39:51.190 --> 00:39:52.750
fucking like beat the shit out of them back,

00:39:52.769 --> 00:39:54.889
you know? And that was effective in the movie.

00:39:54.929 --> 00:39:56.769
And I think that was quite radical for that time.

00:39:56.949 --> 00:39:59.869
Super satisfying. Yeah. I agree. It's not win

00:39:59.869 --> 00:40:03.750
them over. She's not clever. She just physically

00:40:03.750 --> 00:40:06.230
hurts them. Like they physically hurt her. And

00:40:06.230 --> 00:40:09.469
the leverage instantly changes. Yeah. And then

00:40:09.469 --> 00:40:11.829
like, you know. they suddenly like the dynamic

00:40:11.829 --> 00:40:13.829
suddenly changed the aunt is finally like being

00:40:13.829 --> 00:40:17.309
afraid of her and then she was saying like oh

00:40:17.309 --> 00:40:19.449
wait till my brother gets back and then he'll

00:40:19.449 --> 00:40:21.489
teach her a lesson and then he did come back

00:40:21.489 --> 00:40:24.210
right he did the the the pervy uncle did come

00:40:24.210 --> 00:40:28.170
back where he's just like oh you forgot your

00:40:28.170 --> 00:40:30.309
place and he started like taking off his belt

00:40:30.309 --> 00:40:33.170
and she also fights back like she manages to

00:40:33.170 --> 00:40:36.719
like uh restrain him and then get the belt from

00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:39.340
him and then start whipping him oh that was such

00:40:39.340 --> 00:40:41.380
a satisfying scene and it went on for a while

00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:43.340
yeah it went on for a while he was like pastor

00:40:43.340 --> 00:40:46.630
of the christ at this point gita becomes like

00:40:46.630 --> 00:40:49.690
unbeatable hero trope of bollywood films like

00:40:49.690 --> 00:40:52.489
yeah like the hero cannot be touched gita is

00:40:52.489 --> 00:40:56.250
the hero here like yeah yeah like like unbeatable

00:40:56.250 --> 00:41:00.409
person like no one can take over her if you had

00:41:00.409 --> 00:41:02.090
a fighting game it would be the disco dancer

00:41:02.090 --> 00:41:04.590
guy with his guitar slashing her and then she

00:41:04.590 --> 00:41:06.989
would have a belt doing range attacks against

00:41:06.989 --> 00:41:11.449
him very whip like yeah Uh, alright, I'm just

00:41:11.449 --> 00:41:13.329
gonna stop there for the Gita section, right?

00:41:13.429 --> 00:41:15.389
And then go back to the Sita. I think, like,

00:41:15.469 --> 00:41:17.590
all her parts are just so boring, like, I don't

00:41:17.590 --> 00:41:20.469
think she really develops in any meaningful way.

00:41:20.590 --> 00:41:23.789
She just, like, turns to the temple. And, like,

00:41:23.789 --> 00:41:27.269
starts praying. Raka basically, like, doesn't

00:41:27.269 --> 00:41:30.329
like this change, right? And when they went to,

00:41:30.389 --> 00:41:33.170
like, this street show to perform, Sita couldn't

00:41:33.170 --> 00:41:35.349
perform. She didn't even know she was performing.

00:41:35.510 --> 00:41:36.409
Yeah, she didn't even know. Because it's not

00:41:36.409 --> 00:41:38.969
Gita. And they still can't figure that out. She's

00:41:38.969 --> 00:41:40.210
sitting there being like, what? I'm supposed

00:41:40.210 --> 00:41:43.090
to do what? And he's like, damn you. You're spoiled

00:41:43.090 --> 00:41:45.829
now. Yeah. Raka actually likes the change. That

00:41:45.829 --> 00:41:48.409
was a big problem for me. Like, Raka actually

00:41:48.409 --> 00:41:51.239
starts liking her because of the change. But

00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:52.960
he doesn't like the fact that he's not earning

00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:55.780
money for him anymore. Yeah, so, like, they get

00:41:55.780 --> 00:41:58.159
beaten up for not being able to perform by the

00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:00.239
mob, right? And then, like, you have this scene

00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.179
where, like, Raka's clothes are, like, torn apart.

00:42:02.619 --> 00:42:06.179
And then Sita's just like, here, let me fix it

00:42:06.179 --> 00:42:08.920
for you. And then she starts, like, sewing up

00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.099
his shirt. And then you get, like, you know,

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:13.820
Raka's friend who's just, like, this boy. He

00:42:13.820 --> 00:42:17.860
says, like, once the woman does, uh, learns tailoring,

00:42:17.900 --> 00:42:23.590
she no longer has... unfeminine qualities. So

00:42:23.590 --> 00:42:27.010
true. Men do not make clothes. Actually, it was

00:42:27.010 --> 00:42:30.050
like, once she starts sewing, she stops walking

00:42:30.050 --> 00:42:34.670
on the rope. So that translation was unfeminine

00:42:34.670 --> 00:42:37.849
quality. Yeah, that was strange. So when I read

00:42:37.849 --> 00:42:40.010
that, I took it as like, oh, now she's a woman.

00:42:40.150 --> 00:42:43.730
I'm finally in love. That's the sense. I never

00:42:43.730 --> 00:42:45.670
wanted to fuck this woman until she acted like

00:42:45.670 --> 00:42:50.170
my mom. But Raka and the boy, in one line, they

00:42:50.170 --> 00:42:52.719
say that she's lost a fire in her. So they're

00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:54.760
kind of aware that she's no longer the same.

00:42:54.820 --> 00:42:57.320
So I feel like he misses that fire of Gita. But

00:42:57.320 --> 00:42:59.199
at the same time, there's this now feminine woman

00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:01.500
who's showing him love. And he's also a bit of

00:43:01.500 --> 00:43:03.960
an alcoholic. And she, like, kind of gives him

00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:06.420
that care. And, of course, then I think that's

00:43:06.420 --> 00:43:08.639
what makes him fall for her. It's a whole alcoholic

00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:12.039
song. Yeah. I was just going to get to that.

00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:14.340
Like, there's this weird, like, quick subplot

00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:16.849
where, like... Raka is, like, some alcoholic,

00:43:17.150 --> 00:43:19.929
and, like, he only turns to alcohol because he

00:43:19.929 --> 00:43:24.289
has - he's got no - no family, he's poor, and

00:43:24.289 --> 00:43:27.329
you get the scene, like, you get, like, this

00:43:27.329 --> 00:43:29.630
musical scene where he sings his sorrow out,

00:43:29.730 --> 00:43:31.750
and then he ends up - he ends up back at home

00:43:31.750 --> 00:43:35.409
where, like, Sita tells him, you gotta quit alcohol.

00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:38.380
because it will make a difference. You get this

00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:41.239
shot where, like, she's looking at him, and he

00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:44.579
looks at her loving face, and it convinces him

00:43:44.579 --> 00:43:48.239
to, like, quit alcohol the next day. Addiction

00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:49.880
is cured. He goes to the temple early in the

00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:51.679
morning and he's like, I'm never going to drink

00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:54.639
again. And she overhears the entire thing. I

00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:57.079
keep telling people, if more women learn how

00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:59.880
to sew, less men would be alcoholics. And I wish

00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:01.619
more people would listen to me about this. I

00:44:01.619 --> 00:44:03.860
mean, I don't even know why AA exists, you know?

00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:10.539
No, just get more women into sewing mills. Yeah,

00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:13.480
that's it. So that's happened. So we go back.

00:44:13.619 --> 00:44:16.360
Okay, now I'm going back to the Gita part. You

00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:18.559
get this scene where, like, the uncle was abusing

00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:22.340
the elderly servant. And then, like, I call this

00:44:22.340 --> 00:44:25.280
scene the ping pong apology scene. Because you

00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:28.780
have, like, Gita playing ping pong. She, like,

00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.440
has this ping pong paddle. And she, like, I should,

00:44:31.539 --> 00:44:33.480
you know, the camera work is so cool. She's just,

00:44:33.539 --> 00:44:36.739
like, dribbling the ball. She's a great actor.

00:44:36.900 --> 00:44:39.119
She is so intimidating with a ping pong paddle.

00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:42.159
Yeah. She's just super scary. And even when she's

00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:44.730
boring as Sita, it's because she's... playing

00:44:44.730 --> 00:44:46.690
that role you know this actor is really good

00:44:46.690 --> 00:44:48.670
yeah i would really hope that if when men come

00:44:48.670 --> 00:44:50.369
to watch the ping pong show in thailand they

00:44:50.369 --> 00:44:53.389
just see someone like sagita whipping them with

00:44:53.389 --> 00:44:55.690
a belt and threatening them the only different

00:44:55.690 --> 00:44:58.389
ping pong show i'll go i would pay for that one

00:44:58.389 --> 00:45:00.690
i'll go yeah pretty good so basically like she

00:45:00.690 --> 00:45:03.289
kicks she kicks the guy down and then tells him

00:45:03.289 --> 00:45:05.710
to like hey apologize to the elderly servant

00:45:05.710 --> 00:45:07.849
and you know what why don't you go down to the

00:45:07.849 --> 00:45:10.889
market and get me some you know get us some food

00:45:10.889 --> 00:45:13.400
some dinner and that's when like the guy goes

00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:16.400
to the market and then he does he notices one

00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:19.519
thing sita is actually in the market too and

00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:21.619
that's when he gets like really suspicious like

00:45:21.619 --> 00:45:25.079
hey something's something's something's weird

00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:27.179
something's going on here right the market's

00:45:27.179 --> 00:45:29.320
so funny though because he's in there like a

00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:31.780
bumbling idiot he's never been to a market before

00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:34.940
and he's like what vegetables are these he like

00:45:34.940 --> 00:45:37.360
doesn't know what anything is he doesn't know

00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:39.280
what prices are the merchants are all making

00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:41.900
fun of him I love that. Because, yeah, they're

00:45:41.900 --> 00:45:44.480
super useless people. Yeah. He can't do shit.

00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:47.500
But, yeah, he sees Sita. He sees Sita and then,

00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:51.539
like, Sita runs away, you know, going to Raka

00:45:51.539 --> 00:45:53.659
for some comfort. And that's when Raka decides,

00:45:53.940 --> 00:45:56.300
you know what? I'm going to marry you. Right?

00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:59.099
That's what happens, right? He's like, he actually

00:45:59.099 --> 00:46:02.679
proposes to Sita. Like, yeah, I'm going to marry

00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:04.920
you. Meanwhile, though, that's happening. Like,

00:46:04.940 --> 00:46:08.019
the doctor also proposed to the, you know, he

00:46:08.019 --> 00:46:10.750
said, I've decided that I want to marry. Sita,

00:46:10.909 --> 00:46:14.269
who's Gita. Who still hasn't gone back to her

00:46:14.269 --> 00:46:16.829
family. This is just my one thing. She's living

00:46:16.829 --> 00:46:19.349
in this house. She's assuming the role as Sita.

00:46:19.570 --> 00:46:22.449
She's living with this family. She's falling

00:46:22.449 --> 00:46:24.710
in love with this guy. They've already had the

00:46:24.710 --> 00:46:27.929
sex song. And she just doesn't, you know, check

00:46:27.929 --> 00:46:31.460
in with her mom or Raka. Hey, I'm still alive.

00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:33.880
Hey, you might be wondering where I am. I've

00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:36.099
been gone for weeks now or something. She's definitely

00:46:36.099 --> 00:46:38.300
a woman on a mission at this point, right? Yeah,

00:46:38.500 --> 00:46:40.440
yeah. And she explicitly says that several times

00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:42.460
in the movie that she's like dedicated to fighting

00:46:42.460 --> 00:46:44.699
injustice. She's a little too committed to the

00:46:44.699 --> 00:46:47.460
bit. I would maybe send a messenger over just

00:46:47.460 --> 00:46:50.039
say, hey guys, just so you know, I'm liberating

00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.599
this twin I have or something. I would just tell

00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:56.400
them maybe. I don't know. No empathy. Just your

00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:00.300
mom. You disappear and your mom and your... Your

00:47:00.300 --> 00:47:03.019
coworker who can't do anything without you is

00:47:03.019 --> 00:47:06.099
just stranded. Oh, this is Gita and she's on

00:47:06.099 --> 00:47:08.239
a mission. I will defend her. You keep saying

00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:10.639
that like that changes her behavior. You can

00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:13.019
do both. Well, Nikki has already said you need

00:47:13.019 --> 00:47:14.900
to suspend some level of disbelief here. It's

00:47:14.900 --> 00:47:17.699
a movie, right? They're just both in their roles

00:47:17.699 --> 00:47:20.590
at this point. That's for the plot. That bit

00:47:20.590 --> 00:47:24.690
is totally for the plot. For everyone to realize

00:47:24.690 --> 00:47:27.349
later if she says that they had to write in a

00:47:27.349 --> 00:47:29.070
more intelligent way, I guess. It's also the

00:47:29.070 --> 00:47:31.590
1970s. There's no such thing as sending an Instagram

00:47:31.590 --> 00:47:33.769
message or WhatsApp. Like, Ma, I'm here. I'll

00:47:33.769 --> 00:47:36.010
be back in a week. They're literally in the same

00:47:36.010 --> 00:47:39.269
city, I guess. Dude, in terms of logic, 1970s,

00:47:39.269 --> 00:47:43.349
we have the godfather, man. They share the same

00:47:43.349 --> 00:47:45.769
market. They're not that far. They share the

00:47:45.769 --> 00:47:47.690
same market. Yeah, they went to the same market.

00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:50.340
She doesn't have brain damage. She knows where

00:47:50.340 --> 00:47:52.800
her house is. She never fell. She never went

00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:56.239
into a river. Her house is like there. She has...

00:47:56.510 --> 00:47:58.670
Complete memory of everything going on. Okay,

00:47:58.789 --> 00:48:00.989
I'm deducting points from Geeta. But that bit.

00:48:03.170 --> 00:48:07.769
It's kind of weird. She's hot, but come on. She's

00:48:07.769 --> 00:48:09.769
not saying, okay, I'm deducting points. This

00:48:09.769 --> 00:48:12.869
is her one off side. She doesn't care about her

00:48:12.869 --> 00:48:15.050
mother. She's setting up to abuse her is great,

00:48:15.150 --> 00:48:18.110
but she's not checking in with her mom. Terrible

00:48:18.110 --> 00:48:21.429
woman. Be nice to your mom. That's the one bad

00:48:21.429 --> 00:48:24.269
side. Okay, so both of them are getting their

00:48:24.269 --> 00:48:26.929
hand in marriage. their their hand in marriage

00:48:26.929 --> 00:48:29.329
right and then like meanwhile the pervy uncle

00:48:29.329 --> 00:48:31.750
i don't know what he does for a living but apparently

00:48:31.750 --> 00:48:34.429
he has a lot of henchmen that's the point he's

00:48:34.429 --> 00:48:36.730
like a monster he's a rich parasite and the movie

00:48:36.730 --> 00:48:39.150
does a very good job showing how useless and

00:48:39.150 --> 00:48:41.869
rapey they are yeah yeah so basically he doesn't

00:48:41.869 --> 00:48:43.809
realize that there's something going on and then

00:48:43.809 --> 00:48:46.489
he he puts the two and two together that the

00:48:46.489 --> 00:48:48.829
sita living in the mansion is not sita so he

00:48:48.829 --> 00:48:54.349
tells the his henchmen to kidnap the real sita

00:48:54.809 --> 00:48:56.469
Okay, and that's what - that's what happened,

00:48:56.550 --> 00:48:57.909
that's exactly what happened, like, Sita was,

00:48:58.030 --> 00:49:00.349
like, at a temple, and then she was helping to

00:49:00.349 --> 00:49:03.030
this elderly dude who turns out to be a kidnapper,

00:49:03.210 --> 00:49:05.230
and they basically, like, threaten her with a

00:49:05.230 --> 00:49:07.829
knife and then put her in a car. So while that's

00:49:07.829 --> 00:49:10.090
happening, right, Gita gets all depressed that,

00:49:10.170 --> 00:49:11.789
you know, she's getting - she's about to get

00:49:11.789 --> 00:49:14.170
married, but she's not who the doctor thinks

00:49:14.170 --> 00:49:17.489
she is. and so you can like quit just sort of

00:49:17.489 --> 00:49:19.989
harp on this oh my goodness no no no but what

00:49:19.989 --> 00:49:23.429
is the plan i get suspicious disbelief but what

00:49:23.429 --> 00:49:25.630
like what is the plan she's gonna help the grandmother

00:49:25.630 --> 00:49:27.670
by marrying this dude like let's be she does

00:49:27.670 --> 00:49:30.809
like him and she's just gonna marry him yeah

00:49:31.230 --> 00:49:36.190
No, Gita. Gita. Gita. Oh, yeah. The doctor. That's

00:49:36.190 --> 00:49:40.429
the plan. I don't know what the end game is here.

00:49:40.650 --> 00:49:43.369
Yeah, Gita is just going with the flow, I guess.

00:49:43.389 --> 00:49:45.750
Not really in a huge way. I think it's so funny

00:49:45.750 --> 00:49:49.070
because she doesn't just say, I am not the woman

00:49:49.070 --> 00:49:52.110
you're about to marry. She's also in love with

00:49:52.110 --> 00:49:53.610
the doctor. That's what I'm saying. She comes

00:49:53.610 --> 00:49:57.480
down. The way she expresses it is like, She comes

00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.820
down in this really cool 70s outfit. She's so

00:50:00.820 --> 00:50:03.940
pretty. With alcohol. And then, like, sings a

00:50:03.940 --> 00:50:07.519
song about, like, being drunk. Basically. The

00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:09.579
second drunk song of the movie. Okay, okay, okay.

00:50:10.059 --> 00:50:12.639
She's drunk because the doctor is an abusive

00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:15.639
piece of shit. Here, we have to talk about that.

00:50:15.659 --> 00:50:18.019
Yeah, that was, like, the one red flag in the

00:50:18.019 --> 00:50:20.280
movie for me. I love the movie besides that.

00:50:20.909 --> 00:50:24.429
Not one. Like, he has done many things. At first,

00:50:24.429 --> 00:50:26.269
he's like, Western women are bad. They don't

00:50:26.269 --> 00:50:29.809
have value system. First red flag. That is red

00:50:29.809 --> 00:50:33.429
flag. And this is like pure violence. Yeah. He

00:50:33.429 --> 00:50:37.489
just slaps. And he says... that do you think

00:50:37.489 --> 00:50:40.150
like i will marry someone like you who doesn't

00:50:40.150 --> 00:50:42.289
have like you know like who comes from this low

00:50:42.289 --> 00:50:45.610
-class family and they're street performer and

00:50:45.610 --> 00:50:47.750
do you really think that i'll marry someone like

00:50:47.750 --> 00:50:53.019
you and slaps her that was a dream sequence it

00:50:53.019 --> 00:50:55.360
was a dream sequence she was actually imagining

00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:57.760
what how he would react wait so he didn't really

00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:00.300
slap her no no no there is okay look okay you

00:51:00.300 --> 00:51:01.840
guys are getting it all mixed up i remember this

00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:05.559
okay so basically they she she she imagines his

00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:08.480
reaction when she reveals that she's gonna be

00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:10.800
a gypsy and the when when the scene where he

00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.380
says do you think i'm going to marry a gypsy

00:51:13.380 --> 00:51:15.980
woman like you she he slaps her and then you

00:51:15.980 --> 00:51:19.460
see the next shot she wakes up and says oh But

00:51:19.460 --> 00:51:24.280
in the real scene, he also slaps her. Yeah, that

00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:26.619
doesn't cancel anything that he's done, right?

00:51:26.739 --> 00:51:29.559
So when she comes down and acts all drunk and

00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:31.460
sings her song, when she's done singing the song,

00:51:31.579 --> 00:51:34.260
he slaps her again. He doesn't say anything,

00:51:34.340 --> 00:51:36.719
but he just slaps her and then she ends up on

00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:39.039
her grandma's knee or something like that. But

00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:41.739
the point is, she didn't break off the marriage

00:51:41.739 --> 00:51:45.280
when he slapped her initially because that was

00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:48.400
a dream. Yes, yes. My point is that he did slap

00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:52.539
her in reality. And then they still end up together.

00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:54.500
Spoiler alert. But she did the classic woman

00:51:54.500 --> 00:51:57.659
thing of being mad to a guy in a dream and taking

00:51:57.659 --> 00:52:00.579
it out on him in real life. But when did she

00:52:00.579 --> 00:52:02.500
take it out on him in real life? By being drunk

00:52:02.500 --> 00:52:06.420
and ruining the marriage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She

00:52:06.420 --> 00:52:08.960
did do that. I think she was not able to go through

00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:11.860
the wedding without him knowing that she's really

00:52:11.860 --> 00:52:13.900
Gita. She's not Sita, right? So she put on this

00:52:13.900 --> 00:52:15.719
performance. The plan was stupid. She has to

00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:18.239
call this off. Right. I just don't know why she

00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:21.099
didn't just straight up said, hey, I'm not who

00:52:21.099 --> 00:52:24.360
you think I am. Or we get married. Everyone gathers

00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:26.300
for the marriage and she just gets hammered and

00:52:26.300 --> 00:52:27.800
sings about being drunk the whole time. Okay,

00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:31.019
being all powerful and like non -unbeatable comes

00:52:31.019 --> 00:52:34.130
with some downside. One, number one. you don't

00:52:34.130 --> 00:52:38.090
check up on your mother. Number two, you're terrible

00:52:38.090 --> 00:52:42.170
at conversation. But you can fight. I mean, yeah,

00:52:42.230 --> 00:52:45.710
everyone has pros and cons. Yeah, but that slap

00:52:45.710 --> 00:52:48.150
from the guy I think was handled a bit too lightly

00:52:48.150 --> 00:52:51.110
from the movie. Yeah, I think so too. And also

00:52:51.110 --> 00:52:53.050
for Geeta's character, she's supposed to be such

00:52:53.050 --> 00:52:55.469
a brave, fiery character that takes no shit from

00:52:55.469 --> 00:52:58.010
anyone. And to think that she would let that

00:52:58.010 --> 00:53:00.619
go is a bit unbelievable. I don't think... the

00:53:00.619 --> 00:53:02.360
slapping is okay but i do think what they're

00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:05.559
trying to show is how reprehensible her drunk

00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:08.420
song was because they're trying to expand that

00:53:08.420 --> 00:53:10.860
she was just being a hot mess and that's why

00:53:10.860 --> 00:53:13.679
she wasn't mad that he hit her even though it's

00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:17.219
bad she it's an admission of guilt that she crashed

00:53:17.219 --> 00:53:20.920
this whole party you know and then so yeah after

00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:24.500
he slaps her The doctor is asking her, what is

00:53:24.500 --> 00:53:26.980
going on? Why are you doing this? And then why?

00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:29.760
We all want to know. Before she answers, for

00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:32.960
whatever reason, the poor family comes in. And

00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:36.440
then you get Raka coming in. He said, wait a

00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:39.300
minute. Aren't you supposed to marry me? And

00:53:39.300 --> 00:53:42.420
before they can get any answers, the police comes

00:53:42.420 --> 00:53:45.380
in and then tells Gita that, okay, so you're

00:53:45.380 --> 00:53:48.400
not the real Sita. So we're going to arrest you

00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:50.780
for being a fraud. Yes. And then they bring her

00:53:50.780 --> 00:53:54.449
to jail. And once they drag her ass back to jail,

00:53:54.750 --> 00:53:58.090
Gita's mom sees, like... Because everyone is

00:53:58.090 --> 00:54:00.309
in this mansion now. Gita's mom sees, like, the

00:54:00.309 --> 00:54:04.090
family portrait of the real parents. And then

00:54:04.090 --> 00:54:06.110
she gets, like, all this flashback about how,

00:54:06.250 --> 00:54:08.829
like, oh, I... Kidnapped a kid? I kidnapped a

00:54:08.829 --> 00:54:11.130
kid. And basically, like, she faints. Typical

00:54:11.130 --> 00:54:13.650
Bollywood style. She faints in the typical Bollywood

00:54:13.650 --> 00:54:15.730
style. And then she tells... When she comes to,

00:54:15.769 --> 00:54:19.230
she tells Raka that, hey, yeah, this is the truth.

00:54:20.170 --> 00:54:24.239
Gita is... I kidnap Gita, basically. And then,

00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:27.659
like, she tells Raka how, like, you know, about

00:54:27.659 --> 00:54:29.820
the switch up. Sita is Gita, Gita is Sita, and

00:54:29.820 --> 00:54:32.639
all that. And then Raka vows to, like, go and

00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:36.119
save the both of them. Meanwhile, while that's

00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:37.780
happening, I don't know what the end goal is

00:54:37.780 --> 00:54:42.360
here, but the pervy uncle manages to kidnap Sita,

00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:45.099
and then he's going to take her hand in marriage

00:54:45.099 --> 00:54:48.840
instead. Which I don't know what the end goal

00:54:48.840 --> 00:54:52.000
is. How would that have worked out? I think because

00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:57.960
how patriarchal Sita Gita's father was, they

00:54:57.960 --> 00:55:01.059
gave the norms of the transfer of properties.

00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:05.860
The uncles and aunts take care of her until she's

00:55:05.860 --> 00:55:07.820
married to someone. And when she's married to

00:55:07.820 --> 00:55:11.489
someone, I think the... what is the term like

00:55:11.489 --> 00:55:14.489
right of inheritance not inheritance the estate

00:55:14.489 --> 00:55:17.190
or something yeah like they would be the caretaker

00:55:17.190 --> 00:55:22.250
of raka i sorry caretaker of uh sita and so eventually

00:55:22.250 --> 00:55:24.570
they will have actually the control of the money

00:55:24.570 --> 00:55:30.139
so she he wants to marry um sita on whom like

00:55:30.139 --> 00:55:34.159
he always had this lusty you know eyes and then

00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.159
he just wants the money as he's gonna get the

00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:41.559
the wealth as well so yeah they show mary they

00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:44.760
show the aunt and the uncle is physically and

00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:47.699
financially just exploiting the shit out of sita

00:55:47.699 --> 00:55:50.579
yeah poor girl okay so we're in the jail we're

00:55:50.579 --> 00:55:52.800
in the prison scene where like raka is trying

00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:56.909
to rescue the both of them and You know, basically,

00:55:57.090 --> 00:56:00.190
like, they... I guess, like, the pervy uncle's

00:56:00.190 --> 00:56:04.670
going to, like, marry Sita in prison. I don't

00:56:04.670 --> 00:56:07.929
know. Okay, just go figure. I was fine with that

00:56:07.929 --> 00:56:11.130
part. Go figure. But basically, it culminates

00:56:11.130 --> 00:56:14.389
in a scene where both men, the doctor and Raka...

00:56:14.780 --> 00:56:17.460
They come in to rescue both of their women. And

00:56:17.460 --> 00:56:20.079
you get, like, suddenly the movie just turns

00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:23.920
into, like, this bombastic action movie. Like,

00:56:23.940 --> 00:56:26.400
the actions, they go all out with the action

00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:28.179
scene. They, like, they really go all out. Like,

00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:30.519
you have people jumping around, crashing into,

00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:33.280
like, objects. And they're, like, doing all these

00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:35.840
acrobatics and doing all these, like, the, like,

00:56:35.900 --> 00:56:38.000
Gita is, like, doing all the swinging move, kicking

00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:40.760
people around. I thought that whole segment is

00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:42.460
amazing. Yeah, yeah. It was beautifully shot.

00:56:42.579 --> 00:56:44.929
It was amazing. And I think it's, like, a taste

00:56:44.929 --> 00:56:47.530
of things to come for Shoulei, maybe? The way

00:56:47.530 --> 00:56:50.130
I see it, that's how I think. Good action. Yeah,

00:56:50.150 --> 00:56:52.469
so, basically, like, you have this, like, ultimate

00:56:52.469 --> 00:56:56.380
fight scene that ends up with Gita... doing a

00:56:56.380 --> 00:56:58.840
sword fight with the uncle and she basically

00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:01.099
like wins and the police comes in and arrests

00:57:01.099 --> 00:57:03.099
everyone i'm just wrapping this up really quickly

00:57:03.099 --> 00:57:05.280
because that's just how the movie is like like

00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:08.000
the police come in they they arrest everybody

00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:10.880
and then you get like this weird i don't know

00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:13.239
what is it whether they run out of money or like

00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:15.280
they didn't have time to film it or whatever

00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:17.920
but you get like this marriage scene but it's

00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:20.780
like done in like screenshot like the slideshow

00:57:20.780 --> 00:57:24.260
it was weird it's a powerpoint presentation of

00:57:24.260 --> 00:57:25.849
their marriage you're like what what the fuck

00:57:25.849 --> 00:57:27.789
it was what's going on and then like you see

00:57:27.789 --> 00:57:30.090
the auntie smiling and like everybody's happy

00:57:30.090 --> 00:57:32.670
with each other now like we don't know that right

00:57:32.670 --> 00:57:35.590
like they just it's so weird to have a almost

00:57:35.590 --> 00:57:38.570
three hour movie where they're just quickly going

00:57:38.570 --> 00:57:40.309
through the marriage which is usually the most

00:57:40.309 --> 00:57:43.070
important part yeah like what did you feel you

00:57:43.070 --> 00:57:45.829
needed to focus on more yeah it was all it was

00:57:45.829 --> 00:57:47.949
done in two minutes the final wrap -up like quite

00:57:47.949 --> 00:57:52.239
literally and we see that gita marries Gita marries

00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:55.559
the doctor, right? They didn't go back to their

00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:59.960
respective circles. They just married. Gita marries

00:57:59.960 --> 00:58:03.219
the doctor, Sita marries Raka. It just reminds

00:58:03.219 --> 00:58:05.159
me of when you're writing a letter to someone

00:58:05.159 --> 00:58:07.139
and then you get near the end of the card and

00:58:07.139 --> 00:58:09.940
then you have to kind of shrink the end of birthday

00:58:09.940 --> 00:58:12.039
so it fits within the card. This is what the

00:58:12.039 --> 00:58:14.260
ending felt like. They just hit three hours and

00:58:14.260 --> 00:58:16.500
they're just cramming it in. And then the end

00:58:16.500 --> 00:58:19.539
scene is like, you have this... god damn it it's

00:58:19.539 --> 00:58:22.280
not even funny winnie it's like it's like basically

00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:25.000
it's like both men are walking to the bedrooms

00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:28.880
where their brides their new the newlywed brides

00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:31.139
are waiting in bed and then while they're doing

00:58:31.139 --> 00:58:32.900
that they're talking about what is the expectation

00:58:32.900 --> 00:58:35.119
for the first night do they have to consummate

00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:37.800
the marriage or some shit and then like they

00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:40.159
were like you get like this i know it's a cop

00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:42.159
it's done for laughs it's a comedy bit you can

00:58:42.159 --> 00:58:44.260
tell from the musical cues but basically it's

00:58:44.260 --> 00:58:49.010
like the men basically get confused which twin

00:58:49.010 --> 00:58:51.530
they're with and then like they end up in the

00:58:51.530 --> 00:58:54.590
wrong room multiple times multiple times and

00:58:54.590 --> 00:58:56.590
I don't even know what the point of that whole

00:58:56.590 --> 00:58:58.610
scene is like if they made that mistake once

00:58:58.610 --> 00:59:01.429
okay I get it but they made the mistake of switching

00:59:01.429 --> 00:59:04.110
up like twice or so I think the twins were also

00:59:04.110 --> 00:59:07.329
just having a laugh I think the twins are playing

00:59:07.329 --> 00:59:10.150
them the twins are playing them like you know

00:59:10.150 --> 00:59:12.780
pretending like To be each other. So that's the

00:59:12.780 --> 00:59:15.860
change. Maybe that's the only character arc Sita

00:59:15.860 --> 00:59:19.059
is showing that she can pretend like Geeta and

00:59:19.059 --> 00:59:22.780
fool her husband or brother -in -law. They have

00:59:22.780 --> 00:59:24.440
sex and get pregnant. They're like, just kidding.

00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:29.659
I was Geeta. He's like, damn it. And yeah, that's

00:59:29.659 --> 00:59:32.440
the end of the movie. They live happily ever

00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:35.440
after. yeah the end of the movie is yeah these

00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:38.260
two guys that weren't attracted to these women

00:59:38.260 --> 00:59:41.019
initially then were because they changed personalities

00:59:41.019 --> 00:59:43.019
at the end of the day when it came to having

00:59:43.019 --> 00:59:45.760
sex with them could not tell them apart i don't

00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:47.320
know what that said i had nothing to take away

00:59:47.320 --> 00:59:49.099
from that i mean if their parents their whole

00:59:49.099 --> 00:59:51.699
their own family couldn't tell them apart i think

00:59:51.699 --> 00:59:54.119
it's lost hope i was just really disappointed

00:59:54.119 --> 00:59:56.199
how quickly they wrapped things up because like

00:59:56.199 --> 00:59:58.690
they didn't resolve anything with the aunt Which

00:59:58.690 --> 01:00:01.369
I would have loved some closure. I'm going to

01:00:01.369 --> 01:00:04.010
guess this is just a fairy tale reversal, right?

01:00:04.070 --> 01:00:05.670
Where now the aunt is the one making tea and

01:00:05.670 --> 01:00:09.650
being the slave. Yeah, the aunt came to the right

01:00:09.650 --> 01:00:11.949
path or something like that. You don't even have

01:00:11.949 --> 01:00:16.809
a scene where Gita's mom is telling Sita, Hey!

01:00:17.610 --> 01:00:20.750
I took your sister away from you at birth. We

01:00:20.750 --> 01:00:22.530
don't even have anything like that. There's no

01:00:22.530 --> 01:00:25.750
reconciliation. Nobody's upset. Nothing like

01:00:25.750 --> 01:00:29.110
that. I was a little disappointed that they wrapped

01:00:29.110 --> 01:00:32.150
up everything with a slideshow. You get to the

01:00:32.150 --> 01:00:34.190
end part where one of the dudes has sex with

01:00:34.190 --> 01:00:38.289
the fat aunt. Wait, what? I'm kidding. He goes

01:00:38.289 --> 01:00:40.230
in the third door. It's like the deleted scene.

01:00:40.889 --> 01:00:43.730
He turns on the light. It's the fat aunt just

01:00:43.730 --> 01:00:47.280
smiling. No brother is in jail. You don't even

01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:50.000
get a quick... He had sex with the brother. That's

01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:57.119
gross. Okay, homophobe. Yeah, that's Zeta and

01:00:57.119 --> 01:01:01.119
Gita. I have a question. What was so appealing

01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:04.500
to the Russians about this movie? It's the class

01:01:04.500 --> 01:01:07.800
conflict. It's because it was a bunch of lower

01:01:07.800 --> 01:01:10.079
class people fighting the upper class people.

01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:14.519
It was putting gypsies on the same plane and

01:01:14.519 --> 01:01:17.340
also showing because they're twins, it does break

01:01:17.340 --> 01:01:21.719
apart the kind of framework of class, hereditary

01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:23.760
class. If you have two people born from the same

01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:25.760
parents, grow up in different classes and have

01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:29.139
different coded behavior and stuff, that does

01:01:29.139 --> 01:01:32.219
go a long way in dispelling kind of caste myths.

01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:35.360
So I can see why it did really well in Russia.

01:01:35.500 --> 01:01:37.360
It makes sense. But I'd say this movie is like

01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:39.789
the first... It's the proper Bollywood movie

01:01:39.789 --> 01:01:41.190
that we've watched in a long time. We haven't

01:01:41.190 --> 01:01:44.070
gotten this mixture of Bollywood where there's

01:01:44.070 --> 01:01:47.929
action, romance, comedy, family drama, songs

01:01:47.929 --> 01:01:51.349
all in one. It definitely fits the trope. I loved

01:01:51.349 --> 01:01:53.650
it. I missed it. I want more normal Bollywood

01:01:53.650 --> 01:01:57.010
films. I love this. I need more songs. I'm the

01:01:57.010 --> 01:02:00.730
opposite, guys. I love the more creative films.

01:02:00.750 --> 01:02:05.230
The more gritty, realistic kind of movie. I'm

01:02:05.230 --> 01:02:07.809
not into the whole... i'm not like this i'm not

01:02:07.809 --> 01:02:09.969
i wouldn't lean towards this this mainstream

01:02:09.969 --> 01:02:11.650
style i don't know i want to call it mainstream

01:02:11.650 --> 01:02:14.250
we'll balance it out as we go along the way yeah

01:02:14.250 --> 01:02:16.369
i mean the past few episodes we've just chosen

01:02:16.369 --> 01:02:19.550
short movies which was like full -on bollywood

01:02:20.090 --> 01:02:22.610
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like song, music, drama.

01:02:23.010 --> 01:02:24.949
This is also the oldest Bollywood movie we've

01:02:24.949 --> 01:02:28.869
watched ever, like 1972. Is it older than even

01:02:28.869 --> 01:02:31.489
Disco Dancer? Disco Dancer is 80s. 80s, that's

01:02:31.489 --> 01:02:34.250
true. This is before Sholay, pre -Sholay, right?

01:02:34.309 --> 01:02:36.809
It looks better made than Disco Dancer somehow.

01:02:37.389 --> 01:02:39.170
Well... It was quite well made, I'm surprised.

01:02:39.170 --> 01:02:42.239
Disco Dancer had like no budget. Yeah, yeah,

01:02:42.260 --> 01:02:44.880
true, true. It's just budget issues. This film

01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:47.199
was made, the director was 25, his second film.

01:02:47.300 --> 01:02:49.780
And then after this, he made Sholay. So really

01:02:49.780 --> 01:02:53.679
strong. I think the acting was really, really

01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:57.960
good. I thought Hima was fantastic. Like I said,

01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:01.219
playing both roles. was super compelling and

01:03:01.219 --> 01:03:03.960
they felt like very distinct characters i never

01:03:03.960 --> 01:03:06.940
confused i was better than their mom i didn't

01:03:06.940 --> 01:03:10.039
confuse them like it was very clear who was who

01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:12.440
i was attracted to one i was not attracted to

01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:14.980
the other purely based on personality performance

01:03:14.980 --> 01:03:18.059
and gypsy clothing so good job with that and

01:03:18.059 --> 01:03:20.659
i thought the guys were really fun too was very

01:03:20.659 --> 01:03:23.219
compelling i thought yeah i think this is like

01:03:23.219 --> 01:03:25.480
i was surprised by how female centered this movie

01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:28.119
was especially for 1972 like i wouldn't have

01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:30.800
expected to see a woman being the hero like she

01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:32.659
was literally the hero of the movie all the male

01:03:32.659 --> 01:03:34.900
actors were just kind of like supporting characters

01:03:34.900 --> 01:03:37.659
playing their love interest and so you kind of

01:03:37.659 --> 01:03:39.780
see them breaking stereotypes you see them like

01:03:39.780 --> 01:03:42.739
questioning female obedience like sita the character

01:03:42.739 --> 01:03:45.780
i think is done that way almost to show the audience

01:03:45.780 --> 01:03:48.820
that being this ideal submissive woman that fits

01:03:48.820 --> 01:03:51.639
the stereotype of a good woman in india is actually

01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:54.039
going to breed exploitation you're not going

01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:57.059
to find any way out being someone loud and aggressive

01:03:57.059 --> 01:04:00.530
and bold like Like Gita is actually the solution.

01:04:00.809 --> 01:04:03.230
So I was surprised to kind of see these messages

01:04:03.230 --> 01:04:06.469
being promoted in Bollywood like 50 years ago.

01:04:06.710 --> 01:04:08.869
I found it a very empowering film. And I think

01:04:08.869 --> 01:04:10.449
that resonated with the audience. You kind of

01:04:10.449 --> 01:04:13.269
see, we all love Gita. The audience at the time

01:04:13.269 --> 01:04:15.070
loved Gita as well. So I think that you also

01:04:15.070 --> 01:04:17.869
see this craving from Bollywood audiences for

01:04:17.869 --> 01:04:21.630
a more female hero, like a strong, empowered

01:04:21.630 --> 01:04:24.849
female lead. And this movie gives that. And not

01:04:24.849 --> 01:04:27.139
just that, it is an inversion of... you know

01:04:27.139 --> 01:04:29.880
a dickens type tale because usually the person

01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:32.420
born into the rich family is the lucky one exactly

01:04:32.420 --> 01:04:35.900
and they're not yeah like this one is hey you

01:04:35.900 --> 01:04:37.860
were lucky being born in the traveling gypsy

01:04:37.860 --> 01:04:40.920
family because love is more important and that's

01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:45.320
number one very good to kind of quiet the masses

01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:48.920
who maybe want are agitating to like become upper

01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:50.719
class and telling them hey it's not that great

01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:54.389
but it's also a much better message of you know,

01:04:54.389 --> 01:04:57.789
the importance of, like, loving family relationships

01:04:57.789 --> 01:04:59.869
above all else, you know, and how money can kind

01:04:59.869 --> 01:05:03.730
of destroy those relationships. It's good. Yeah.

01:05:04.010 --> 01:05:06.309
Let's talk about the love triangle. Oh, yeah,

01:05:06.429 --> 01:05:09.349
yeah. Okay, so there is a funny backstory to

01:05:09.349 --> 01:05:11.670
this movie, I'd say, that kind of relates to

01:05:11.670 --> 01:05:13.489
the plot of the movie a little bit. Well, of

01:05:13.489 --> 01:05:15.309
course, there's only one Hima. There's no Gita

01:05:15.309 --> 01:05:18.449
and Sita, right? It's just her. But behind the

01:05:18.449 --> 01:05:20.710
scenes, there was also apparently a love triangle

01:05:20.710 --> 01:05:24.210
between her, the doctor, who was played by Sanjeev

01:05:24.210 --> 01:05:28.530
Kumar and the other one. Raka? Raka. Raka, right.

01:05:28.730 --> 01:05:32.409
Dharmendra. Okay, Dharmendra. So Sanjeev Kumar

01:05:32.409 --> 01:05:35.329
actually proposed to Hema one year after this

01:05:35.329 --> 01:05:38.610
movie was filmed in 1973, but she declined it.

01:05:38.690 --> 01:05:41.869
And a few years later, she married Dharmendra.

01:05:42.170 --> 01:05:45.110
Whoa. And they were all in Sholay together too?

01:05:45.309 --> 01:05:48.230
Yeah, so this actually made casting for Sholay

01:05:48.230 --> 01:05:50.650
more difficult because he wanted all three of

01:05:50.650 --> 01:05:52.909
them there. But then he decided that maybe he

01:05:52.909 --> 01:05:55.070
cannot cast Sanjeev Kumar. Maybe he'll just cast

01:05:55.070 --> 01:05:57.690
only Hema and Darminder together. But then he

01:05:57.690 --> 01:05:59.170
went back to Sanjeev and was like, we really

01:05:59.170 --> 01:06:01.150
need you for this role. But it almost affected

01:06:01.150 --> 01:06:03.150
production where it was difficult to have all

01:06:03.150 --> 01:06:05.110
three of them together because of this love triangle.

01:06:05.590 --> 01:06:08.369
But then they all still come back and play together

01:06:08.369 --> 01:06:11.070
in the movie. But obviously in the movie, Hema

01:06:11.070 --> 01:06:14.130
plays the love interest of Darminder, who she

01:06:14.130 --> 01:06:17.739
ends up marrying in 1980. So they actually got

01:06:17.739 --> 01:06:19.519
married also. That's real love. Yeah, and they're

01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:21.500
still together till today. But what makes it,

01:06:21.539 --> 01:06:24.099
the real love part is funny because Darminder

01:06:24.099 --> 01:06:26.880
already has a wife. He was already married to

01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:29.320
another woman. They have their sons together,

01:06:29.500 --> 01:06:32.320
Bobby Dio, Sunny Dio, big Bollywood actors also,

01:06:32.420 --> 01:06:35.539
like massive. And he did not want to get divorced

01:06:35.539 --> 01:06:38.880
to his first wife in order to marry Hema. And

01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:41.000
so there's a whole, there's a lot of allegations

01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:45.480
that they converted to Islam. so that they could

01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:47.420
get married so that he could have a second wife

01:06:47.420 --> 01:06:49.940
because under the hindu act of marriage hindu

01:06:49.940 --> 01:06:51.780
men cannot have two wives but that's allowed

01:06:51.780 --> 01:06:55.480
in islam oh my god and so this theory has prevailed

01:06:55.480 --> 01:06:57.159
for quite a while now they're both politically

01:06:57.159 --> 01:06:59.280
active hema and their minder they're both like

01:06:59.280 --> 01:07:02.800
bjp activists but their religion comes into question

01:07:02.800 --> 01:07:04.880
quite often because apparently they change their

01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:06.840
names as well when they convert it to islam to

01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:09.960
marry each other they're in bjp but they're islamic

01:07:10.619 --> 01:07:12.440
because they're yeah they're technically hindus

01:07:12.440 --> 01:07:14.139
i think they were just trying to look for a loophole

01:07:14.139 --> 01:07:16.579
but this has never been confirmed they will not

01:07:16.579 --> 01:07:19.099
confirm anything but this theory has been going

01:07:19.099 --> 01:07:21.860
on for i'd say decades now is she still the second

01:07:21.860 --> 01:07:26.059
wife technically yes to the knowledge of public

01:07:26.059 --> 01:07:30.599
yeah that is so wild what a crazy onset story

01:07:30.599 --> 01:07:36.500
that's nuts yeah in fast and furious 2 There

01:07:36.500 --> 01:07:39.760
was a stunt woman who was having sex with Paul

01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:42.699
Walker. Who's the other guy? The black guy in

01:07:42.699 --> 01:07:45.619
that? Tyrese Gibson? She was having sex with

01:07:45.619 --> 01:07:48.019
Paul Walker and Tyrese Gibson at the same time.

01:07:49.079 --> 01:07:52.719
I don't know. Pretty baller of her. She didn't

01:07:52.719 --> 01:07:55.159
marry anyone, but everyone was cool with it.

01:07:55.219 --> 01:07:57.179
They were just both fucking the same stunt woman.

01:07:57.659 --> 01:08:00.960
Seems good for her. Seems like it was fun. This

01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:02.460
just makes me wonder what it was like shooting

01:08:02.460 --> 01:08:04.639
that scene in the end where they're like... confused

01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:06.420
between the two twins and they both love her

01:08:06.420 --> 01:08:09.320
at the same time that's that's pretty that's

01:08:09.320 --> 01:08:11.519
pretty awesome like given the plot of the film

01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:16.319
yeah wow i didn't i had no idea of this uh it's

01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:19.680
this story that's so spicy page three material

01:08:19.680 --> 01:08:23.159
that movie must have been so messy you know because

01:08:23.159 --> 01:08:25.220
she's playing the love interest for both yeah

01:08:25.220 --> 01:08:28.180
and that's that's intense yeah i wonder what

01:08:28.180 --> 01:08:30.460
made her choose their minder not over sanjeev

01:08:30.460 --> 01:08:33.399
kumar Well, one's an alcoholic and one's a nice

01:08:33.399 --> 01:08:37.579
doctor. Well, she chose alcoholic. No. Oh, Darmendra

01:08:37.579 --> 01:08:41.619
was the alcoholic. Oh, okay. He's more handsome.

01:08:41.899 --> 01:08:44.199
He is more handsome. She used to work with him

01:08:44.199 --> 01:08:49.020
on the same trade. That's true. Like, you know,

01:08:49.060 --> 01:08:51.539
yeah. Oh, yeah. They walk tightropes together.

01:08:51.640 --> 01:08:53.199
The moment you walk in a tightrope with someone.

01:08:53.560 --> 01:09:00.310
Their case moment. The doctor. The laughing doctor?

01:09:00.590 --> 01:09:04.329
I don't know. The first five minutes. Nikki's

01:09:04.329 --> 01:09:07.000
like, what the fuck is this twist? For me, staircase

01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:09.520
moments is outside of the film. Realizing that

01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:11.600
the slap scene is actually a dream sequence,

01:09:11.699 --> 01:09:14.720
not a real scene. That's not outside the film.

01:09:14.800 --> 01:09:17.359
That's in the film. But the moment is outside

01:09:17.359 --> 01:09:20.039
of the film. For you, your personal staircase

01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:22.460
moment. Personal staircase. A film staircase

01:09:22.460 --> 01:09:25.300
moment. I think I had a staircase moment when

01:09:25.300 --> 01:09:27.340
he was literally on the staircase. I think Geeta

01:09:27.340 --> 01:09:30.859
starts slashing the uncle who has tried to rape

01:09:30.859 --> 01:09:33.199
her. And he starts rolling down the stairs. And

01:09:33.199 --> 01:09:35.600
I was just like, whoa, is he about to die? It's

01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:37.420
just gonna happen. He was not a pregnant woman.

01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:41.260
That's why he didn't die. Mine was just when

01:09:41.260 --> 01:09:43.739
she looks at him in the car, when Gita looks

01:09:43.739 --> 01:09:46.239
at him in the car and is immediately, yep, I'm

01:09:46.239 --> 01:09:48.399
gonna imprint myself on him and just commit my

01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:50.420
life to him. That was surprising, which is what

01:09:50.420 --> 01:09:53.460
happened. It's fact. Dance floor clause, musical

01:09:53.460 --> 01:09:56.760
number. Finally. There was a lot. And all pretty

01:09:56.760 --> 01:09:59.000
good. Very well choreographed. I really like

01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:07.409
them. The love song with... Gita? Is it with

01:10:07.409 --> 01:10:09.590
Gita and the doctor where they're singing and

01:10:09.590 --> 01:10:11.250
they're whistling with each other in the car?

01:10:11.489 --> 01:10:14.390
That one? I like that song a lot. I like the

01:10:14.390 --> 01:10:16.649
one when she's drunk and performing at her wedding.

01:10:16.909 --> 01:10:20.170
The whole time she's dancing and moving around

01:10:20.170 --> 01:10:22.310
quite a lot and she's holding to this glass of

01:10:22.310 --> 01:10:24.850
wine or something of alcohol and it never spills.

01:10:25.149 --> 01:10:27.930
It was the outfit that she was wearing. I thought

01:10:27.930 --> 01:10:32.739
she was very hot. That's why I like the song

01:10:32.739 --> 01:10:39.880
too. Family feud. All of it. Maybe it's the guy

01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:42.659
trying to rape his niece -in -law and then marry

01:10:42.659 --> 01:10:45.579
her later is perhaps one of the strongest ones.

01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:47.720
And the aunt just being a complete bitch. Giving

01:10:47.720 --> 01:10:51.739
someone baby and raising that as their own. Yes,

01:10:51.880 --> 01:10:54.640
full of them. Being an aunt that's just pure

01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:57.319
evil and just kind of hating everyone. I found

01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:00.810
out that the aunt is actually half Irish. half

01:11:00.810 --> 01:11:05.729
Indian. Is that why she was drunk the whole movie?

01:11:06.250 --> 01:11:08.710
I don't know. But it was just nice to know that

01:11:08.710 --> 01:11:14.369
she was half white. She acted the most cartoonishly

01:11:14.369 --> 01:11:18.869
Indian. Very theatrical. The makeup, the eyeliner

01:11:18.869 --> 01:11:21.689
was so bold and winged that you can tell she's

01:11:21.689 --> 01:11:24.130
supposed to look like a villain. But it's great.

01:11:24.210 --> 01:11:26.270
I couldn't stop looking at her. She makes facial

01:11:26.270 --> 01:11:30.130
expressions the entire time. Popeye cartoon faces

01:11:30.130 --> 01:11:32.670
the whole time. It's super fun to watch. Yeah.

01:11:33.170 --> 01:11:37.550
Her looks like this, not street theater, like

01:11:37.550 --> 01:11:41.630
those exagerated village theater makeup. I was

01:11:41.630 --> 01:11:44.829
thinking that too. Yeah, like exagerated evilness

01:11:44.829 --> 01:11:48.909
on her face. A street clown. Yeah. Spice level?

01:11:50.569 --> 01:11:54.970
Regional heat check. Where was it even? Do you

01:11:54.970 --> 01:11:58.140
know? I think it's Mumbai. I guess it's Mumbai

01:11:58.140 --> 01:12:02.199
because everyone is speaking Hindi and the other

01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:06.050
city that he flies to is Delhi. Yeah. So maybe

01:12:06.050 --> 01:12:08.529
it's Mumbai. I don't know. And people get separated

01:12:08.529 --> 01:12:12.289
at birth very often there? I have no idea. Have

01:12:12.289 --> 01:12:14.630
you found your birth parents yet, Kelly? I didn't

01:12:14.630 --> 01:12:17.689
grow up there. Maybe my parents were traveling

01:12:17.689 --> 01:12:21.189
long farther away. What a clean pregnancy, by

01:12:21.189 --> 01:12:24.409
the way. To pull over in a car, kind of pass

01:12:24.409 --> 01:12:26.609
out, not remember what you did, and then some

01:12:26.609 --> 01:12:29.289
villagers deliver your baby to you. Really clean.

01:12:29.890 --> 01:12:32.510
Not even noticing it was twins. You don't even

01:12:32.510 --> 01:12:35.829
need an alcoholic doctor to help you. Who was

01:12:35.829 --> 01:12:40.489
that doctor? He was laughing non -stop. That

01:12:40.489 --> 01:12:43.069
was a weird -ass cameo. I just feel weird that

01:12:43.069 --> 01:12:45.329
it began, like, the movie just begins, like,

01:12:45.350 --> 01:12:48.850
in media range. There's no opening sequence,

01:12:49.010 --> 01:12:51.550
nothing. It just jumps right into it. I love

01:12:51.550 --> 01:12:53.649
that. I was like, right on, let's go. I was like,

01:12:53.649 --> 01:12:55.510
where could the three hours take us? And it's

01:12:55.510 --> 01:12:58.250
pretty much nowhere. It's like a week of events,

01:12:58.369 --> 01:13:01.220
and then it crams in the end. why do you think

01:13:01.220 --> 01:13:03.840
like he's a big actor right okay it's like adam

01:13:03.840 --> 01:13:06.640
sandler coming in as the doctor cameo or it's

01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:08.560
like ben stiller and happy gilmore is like the

01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:11.659
nurse resident i think if you watch bollywood

01:13:11.659 --> 01:13:14.079
you'd probably clock it and kind of get on with

01:13:14.079 --> 01:13:15.720
it and be like oh this is a good introduction

01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:19.539
to the movie it's like those three tight guy

01:13:19.539 --> 01:13:23.920
comic actors that are in everything yeah so so

01:13:23.920 --> 01:13:27.239
his his name is arsani like he's a very popular

01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:31.720
comic actor so i why do i think like the he has

01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:34.520
had this studio deal to have been like certain

01:13:34.520 --> 01:13:38.060
number of films and then like this is the way

01:13:38.060 --> 01:13:39.920
they found out and then they told the writer

01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:41.800
and i know like you have to put his character

01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:44.060
somehow and they didn't find any other avenue

01:13:44.060 --> 01:13:46.140
so they just put like in a cameo role at the

01:13:46.140 --> 01:13:48.439
beginning yo first five minutes you get the audience

01:13:48.680 --> 01:13:51.079
on board yeah it works you know it's the hook

01:13:51.079 --> 01:13:57.840
yeah yeah it works what's the moral stand up

01:13:57.840 --> 01:13:59.979
for yourself exactly like that's basically it

01:13:59.979 --> 01:14:01.960
i think this movie has a lot of good messages

01:14:01.960 --> 01:14:05.560
going for it you know like don't yeah don't silence

01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:09.560
yourself beat up people who beat you fight for

01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:14.319
injustice money is not everything sometimes love

01:14:14.319 --> 01:14:17.829
does conquer Yeah, there's a lot you can take

01:14:17.829 --> 01:14:23.090
from this. Also, steal twins at birth. Don't

01:14:23.090 --> 01:14:24.789
ask. They probably were going to give you the

01:14:24.789 --> 01:14:28.229
other one anyway. What about don't check up on

01:14:28.229 --> 01:14:31.010
your mother when you were on a mission? What

01:14:31.010 --> 01:14:33.050
about get married to any guy with a broken car?

01:14:34.350 --> 01:14:37.710
She still married someone who slapped her, which

01:14:37.710 --> 01:14:39.930
kind of takes away from the power of the Gita

01:14:39.930 --> 01:14:45.000
character, in my opinion. But it gives me relief

01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:49.739
knowing that she can slap him back. Oh, I think

01:14:49.739 --> 01:14:53.199
she could probably kill him in one second. I

01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:55.340
do think that's nice, too. They don't try to

01:14:55.340 --> 01:14:57.920
quiet her at the end. He likes her because she's

01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.899
like that. Everyone likes Gita. She's not a problem.

01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:03.539
Even if you watch Sound of Music, they all kind

01:15:03.539 --> 01:15:07.050
of admonish. the main nun because she's too uppity

01:15:07.050 --> 01:15:08.729
or whatever. But this one, they always encourage

01:15:08.729 --> 01:15:10.449
her, which is pretty cool. I think this movie

01:15:10.449 --> 01:15:12.430
is basically like, be like Gita, don't be like

01:15:12.430 --> 01:15:14.229
Sita. You'll get fucked. You'll get walked over.

01:15:14.510 --> 01:15:17.289
But if you fight for yourself, you have a voice,

01:15:17.590 --> 01:15:19.770
you'll be able to... Because she changed around

01:15:19.770 --> 01:15:22.170
her whole life, the whole situation of Sita in

01:15:22.170 --> 01:15:25.210
one day just by talking and hitting them. There

01:15:25.210 --> 01:15:27.069
was nothing radical about it, right? It's just

01:15:27.069 --> 01:15:29.770
a change in attitude. Not circumstantial at all.

01:15:29.909 --> 01:15:33.529
So, yeah. Very empowering. I don't know how realistic

01:15:33.529 --> 01:15:36.500
that would be. You know, like watching the movie,

01:15:36.579 --> 01:15:40.420
because again, it's not like Sita probably didn't

01:15:40.420 --> 01:15:43.180
try early on and that was extinguished from her.

01:15:43.319 --> 01:15:46.159
It takes an outsider to kind of come in without

01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:49.159
that baggage to boss everyone around. She doesn't

01:15:49.159 --> 01:15:51.460
know who the fat aunt is. She doesn't have any

01:15:51.460 --> 01:15:54.439
PTSD trauma. Yeah. I do think it's easier. For

01:15:54.439 --> 01:15:56.800
sure. For sure. So, yeah, stick up for yourself.

01:15:56.979 --> 01:15:59.359
Yell at your aunt. Tell her she's fat. Don't

01:15:59.359 --> 01:16:01.859
take any shit from your family. People will love

01:16:01.859 --> 01:16:04.630
you. and to bali would make more movies like

01:16:04.630 --> 01:16:06.970
this was obviously a big hit it resonated with

01:16:06.970 --> 01:16:09.750
the audience probably both men and women so obviously

01:16:09.750 --> 01:16:12.949
there's a craving for this but i think in 1972

01:16:12.949 --> 01:16:17.350
too woke stop putting with feminine heroes in

01:16:17.350 --> 01:16:20.270
my but i do wonder if that's why it was a bigger

01:16:20.270 --> 01:16:23.430
hit in russia like they actually sold more movie

01:16:23.430 --> 01:16:25.550
tickets in russia as opposed to india so like

01:16:25.550 --> 01:16:28.390
over 50 million in russia and 30 million it generated

01:16:28.390 --> 01:16:31.569
more money through russia than india I mean,

01:16:31.590 --> 01:16:33.670
Disco Dancer was also a hit. I mean, yeah, I

01:16:33.670 --> 01:16:36.630
can see the commonality between these two. Yeah.

01:16:36.970 --> 01:16:39.510
But there are films in Bollywood, I remember,

01:16:39.710 --> 01:16:43.170
like, seeing a little bit of it where women are,

01:16:43.250 --> 01:16:45.609
like, the central character and very powerful

01:16:45.609 --> 01:16:51.069
and taking the lead of defeating the evil. When

01:16:51.069 --> 01:16:56.649
did it end? I think so. I think in the 70s, it

01:16:56.649 --> 01:16:58.729
was like Sholay, Amitabh Bachchan, kind of the

01:16:58.729 --> 01:17:00.989
rise of him. So there were a lot of movies about

01:17:00.989 --> 01:17:03.989
like angry men fighting the system, right? Fighting

01:17:03.989 --> 01:17:06.090
corruption, the police, like these outsiders.

01:17:06.590 --> 01:17:09.810
And I think this was like also... the same act

01:17:09.810 --> 01:17:11.569
of rebellion that was going on in the 70s, but

01:17:11.569 --> 01:17:13.569
from a woman's perspective. And so it comes more

01:17:13.569 --> 01:17:16.590
like fighting domestic pressures, not systemic

01:17:16.590 --> 01:17:18.470
pressures, right? So you see that public sphere,

01:17:18.569 --> 01:17:21.029
private sphere. Exactly. That is different in

01:17:21.029 --> 01:17:23.550
the battles. Yeah, she's not a submissive person,

01:17:23.649 --> 01:17:25.890
but she's the idol in this movie. She's who you're

01:17:25.890 --> 01:17:27.489
supposed to look up to. I would love if like

01:17:27.489 --> 01:17:30.250
my daughter saw this and had this as a role model.

01:17:30.489 --> 01:17:33.189
Exactly, exactly. Yeah, so five out of five for

01:17:33.189 --> 01:17:36.810
me. Yeah, loved it. I'm excited for Sholay. I

01:17:36.810 --> 01:17:39.439
like old Bollywood films. Even though it's three

01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:41.960
hours long? No, I give it a three, guys. Oh,

01:17:41.960 --> 01:17:45.520
gosh. It didn't resolve very well. I just didn't

01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:52.279
like how it wrapped up so easily. I'll give it

01:17:52.279 --> 01:17:53.659
five forever. When you said five, I was like,

01:17:53.699 --> 01:17:56.119
wait a minute. I think it depends on how much

01:17:56.119 --> 01:18:00.319
you hate your aunt. Thank you, guys. If you are
