was already asleep. 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.840 I woke up again after one hour and I was like 00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:25.840 Yeah, let's go. 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.680 She's like, yeah, maybe next

again, said you were on your way, and then passed out again and showed up later. 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.040 That happened twice today. 00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:45.400 How much have you slept today? 00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:47.000 We're meeting at 7 p. 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:47.239 m. 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.799 Have you told her you're on a podcast? 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:50.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:52.600 Is she disappointed in you? 00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:57.800 No, she didn't reply, so I think she wants to keep the charm. 00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:19.200 Welcome to Fear of Series, Desi Films Decoded, the podcast where four friends from different backgrounds unlock the world of Desi cinema. 00:03:19.100 --> 00:03:21.420 I'm Winnie, the Dessie who's never been to India. 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:24.540 Hey, I'm Killy, I'm from India, and I love cinema. 00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:27.500 I'm Nikki, and I love sci-fi movies. 00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:32.860 I'm Adam, the American movie puff, and I learned that Killy loves cinema so much. 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.480 And I can understand why now, because you have the best taste in films. 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:37.680 The best. 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.440 Oh, it's a gift film today. 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:47.200 So why is it a children's film when we were having such a 00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:46.460 Hard time following you. 00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:47.420 I don't know. 00:03:47.580 --> 00:03:48.780 I really have no idea. 00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:50.060 What's the film? 00:03:50.380 --> 00:03:51.660 Why did you choose it? 00:03:51.980 --> 00:03:53.740 Yeah, it's called Patalkar. 00:03:53.820 --> 00:03:56.620 It's uh 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.920 It's a two thousand three film from uh Bengal film industry. 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.480 Uh it's a it's the first Bengali film we're doing, I guess. 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.560 It's been part of the podcast. 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.480 But anyway, so this well, no, I yeah, we asked you, we said, Killy, we haven't done a Bengali film. 00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:13.440 We want to show the culture it's best for. 00:04:13.940 --> 00:04:20.340 What film do you think would represent your upbringing, your film taste and your culture in the best way possible? 00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:26.820 You know, just to shine the best light for all listeners, if they want to see a Bengali film for the first time, what would that be? 00:04:27.260 --> 00:04:33.180 And you chose this film, I think very wisely, to represent the entire film industry of that area. 00:04:33.340 --> 00:04:37.980 And so I just want you to go in depth about why 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.440 Why this is a ten-pole film for the Bengali film industry. 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.040 For the entire Bengali station. 00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:44.160 And for your film taste in general, and why it was so. 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:46.980 Such a totemic film for you growing up. 00:04:47.380 --> 00:04:49.300 That conversation didn't happen. 00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:56.020 I just chose this because this was like it's it's in like 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.680 My top it will be in my top 10 of my favorite Bengali films. 00:04:58.919 --> 00:04:59.960 Choose your words carefully. 00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:02.520 Yeah, that wasn't far off. 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.960 I mean, yeah, adopted I mean, yeah, I love this film. 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.440 Like, when I watched this film, it was like really well made. 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:12.320 It's like had a very nice script and very nice dance flo like music. 00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:15.760 And the lyrics were like so funny, and then everyone loved the songs. 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:21.840 Like, all of my friends we used to sing them, and then, like, 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:24.599 Yeah, the unauspicious man one, the Opoya song, like that was like super hit. 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:33.240 And then like I loved like loved the how it was shot and recently like last 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.080 Few years back like when I watched this like the production art direction was so cool. 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.320 So like yeah, I was like okay, fine, it's it's just a good fun film. 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:40.520 Yeah, so let's watch it. 00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:41.960 And a fun film it was. 00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:43.240 I gotta say, I do admire. 00:05:43.320 --> 00:05:46.120 Like, you you chose it and you're defending it well. 00:05:46.280 --> 00:05:49.880 Like, you know, I'm glad that you're not backing down and be like, No, this always sucked. 00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:50.380 Revisiting it. 00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:51.420 Do you feel the same way? 00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:52.700 Yeah, I mean, I love it. 00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:53.900 I love it. 00:05:54.140 --> 00:05:54.700 I still love it. 00:05:54.860 --> 00:05:55.180 I don't know. 00:05:55.420 --> 00:05:55.580 Yeah. 00:05:56.780 --> 00:06:01.340 Wait, but like, when it came out, so it was a big hit for your f. 00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:10.340 You or like when I watched it I was I was really uh I loved it and my friends loved it like uh yeah, we used to talk about it in school. 00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:15.300 So would all Bengalis know this film, if you mentioned it, is it a cult classic to that degree? 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.680 I don't think it's supposed that I don't think everyone would know. 00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:19.000 Yeah. 00:06:19.479 --> 00:06:21.479 And what did what did we think of the film? 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.639 The non-Bengali people. 00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:26.040 Well, let's explain how we kind of watched it too. 00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:26.919 It was like a night. 00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:28.840 Like, it was like a rainy night, right? 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:29.479 And. 00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:35.840 I think I'm just gonna say for myself that I came in, I had like a huge dinner party. 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.920 I came in and then I was kinda like pretty much drunk. 00:06:39.820 --> 00:06:50.380 And when I was watching the movie with you guys, I was struggling to stay awake and trying to make sense of whatever the characters were explaining. 00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:55.979 And like we made it we made about we made we made it through the movie about halfway through and it was me and Winnie. 00:06:56.380 --> 00:06:57.020 We just passed out. 00:06:57.259 --> 00:06:57.900 We just passed out. 00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:03.979 We kinda like folded and then we took a break and then I kind of felt a little guilty like 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.919 You know, I thought like I at that moment I was like, I didn't understand anything what was happening on that movie. 00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:13.639 And I felt a little I was like wondering, maybe if I, you know, watch it 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.479 While sober, maybe I'll understand it. 00:07:13.880 --> 00:07:15.479 Also, we were just completely silent. 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.600 Every time I watch movies with you guys, you guys talk a lot. 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.759 And usually I just want to be quiet and watch the movie. 00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:22.600 But it's kinda nice to have background noise. 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.800 And I don't think I realized how much I valued it until. 00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:27.400 It was completely silent. 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:28.280 That's why I did it. 00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:31.400 I would held it from you so you'd finally appreciate me talking during the film. 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.400 I didn't even said anything. 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:35.080 At one point, I was like. 00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:36.560 Isn't that serious? 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.680 Like, what's going on? 00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:39.040 And then I was like, okay. 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:40.480 Yeah, now he's sleeping. 00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:41.360 Struggling. 00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:42.800 Both of them are asleep. 00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:44.080 I'm still cold sober. 00:07:44.640 --> 00:07:46.320 I was well rested, well fed. 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.760 I was ready to watch. 00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:50.640 I was completely lost and confused. 00:07:50.880 --> 00:07:55.040 I couldn't follow along enough to say what was happening. 00:07:55.280 --> 00:07:58.960 I thought half the movie was taking place in the future, and I was super wrong about that. 00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:01.360 I was, again, completely sober. 00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:05.060 So I was like, huh, I guess Nikki's drunk and he's not saying anything. 00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:10.819 And when he's passed out, and I kept trying to like engage with the film. 00:08:09.340 --> 00:08:11.260 And I was just completely lost. 00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:12.140 You guys left. 00:08:12.380 --> 00:08:19.100 You see, I didn't pass out because, like, I made the choice to, because I spent an hour watching it and I didn't understand what was going on. 00:08:19.820 --> 00:08:20.540 I just gave up. 00:08:20.940 --> 00:08:23.180 It's better if I'm asleep. 00:08:23.860 --> 00:08:32.660 The film is about uh like a sleep machine that the scientists discovered like one fifty years ago and it really works. 00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:35.220 That sleep machine put us to sleep. 00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:37.220 The sleep machine is the movie itself. 00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:37.860 Yeah. 00:08:39.079 --> 00:08:39.719 Oh, that's great. 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.360 But it's a children's film. 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.720 But it's the most confusing children's film I've ever seen. 00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:48.839 I usually don't mind children's films, but it wasn't even. 00:08:49.420 --> 00:08:52.380 Um, funny or easy to follow, I think. 00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:56.220 Yeah, I think what I was kinda thinking, like, why it was like so tough. 00:08:56.459 --> 00:09:00.620 Uh, maybe it's like the lot of 00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:06.580 cues that works for like a local culture and then the fun is derived from those things and not the basic storyline. 00:09:06.900 --> 00:09:13.540 I think that could be like the characters, the the way they are talking, the way the things are happening, like 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:24.160 I mean, it's a very based in the local culture and then that's what making it funny for us and which that part is totally like, you know, not like not working there. 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.440 And above all, like so when I watched this film, 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:32.240 This time, I really understood that the plot line is not that interesting. 00:09:32.319 --> 00:09:32.959 It's just okay. 00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:35.120 It's it's just a okay plot line. 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.240 Like, if you're okay. 00:09:36.339 --> 00:09:42.500 There was a this um device and then like some uh bunch of guys uh like after it. 00:09:42.819 --> 00:09:43.699 That's it. 00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:47.240 But the funniest part for me was like seeing those characters. 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.080 I think that didn't work well. 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:54.040 So yeah, it kind of fail didn't fail 00:09:52.140 --> 00:09:52.700 Fell through. 00:09:52.780 --> 00:09:52.940 Yeah. 00:09:53.260 --> 00:09:54.540 The translation was off, I think. 00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:57.100 Yeah, like there was just something. 00:09:57.420 --> 00:10:02.780 It didn't click with me because I don't know if it's because there's 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.680 There's not a lot, we don't understand the context. 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.480 I don't know if the subtitles was translating the what the characters were saying. 00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:10.040 Like 00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:11.139 We had a lot of difficulty finding the movie online to watch as well. 00:10:12.660 --> 00:10:15.940 No, actually actually it was for free on the OTT platforms. 00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:19.060 So I just uh we just uh took it from there. 00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:22.500 But I mean yeah, it was not 00:10:20.540 --> 00:10:21.899 But it's not like torrentable. 00:10:22.060 --> 00:10:22.860 I couldn't find anything. 00:10:23.660 --> 00:10:25.420 No one could give it away for free. 00:10:26.380 --> 00:10:27.500 We condemn torrenting. 00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:27.980 Yeah. 00:10:28.459 --> 00:10:31.820 The OTT platform gave it 00:10:29.860 --> 00:10:30.820 For free, already. 00:10:31.140 --> 00:10:35.860 That kind of says it was hard to find English subtitles. 00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:37.380 I think the translation was off. 00:10:37.540 --> 00:10:39.380 I think that's partly it. 00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:54.639 I can actually ask you guys, like, how did you feel about the songs, like the Inospecious Man, like, who when everyone was like so that kinda gave like the from the translation and the from the thing, like, was it like uh like did it 00:10:53.800 --> 00:10:58.680 Hate or like I understand he's an unlucky man, but it was not hilarious, right? 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.440 No, not at all, didn't make me laugh. 00:11:00.760 --> 00:11:02.040 Okay, yeah, there you go. 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:07.160 Like, it it's like one of the things that it's like it was like 00:11:05.400 --> 00:11:08.760 Very funny, like the I don't know, like it was a very funny song for us. 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.080 So it's like, yeah, lost in translation. 00:11:11.880 --> 00:11:12.360 I think so. 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.560 You guys left, Winnie and Nikki left. 00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:17.840 Me and Killie finished the movie, thank God. 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.240 Yeah. 00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:20.720 So that was done off my to-do list. 00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:23.040 And then how did you guys approach this? 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.600 So, right before recording, as we speak right now, I literally. 00:11:28.400 --> 00:11:36.880 I woke up I woke up sun at noon and I was like, all right, I haven't watched the movie, I'm gonna do it now. 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:43.040 And I literally turned it on and I started around like 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:46.680 Like 12:30, and it took me until 5:30 p. 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:47.000 m. 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.040 to finish the movie for a two-hour movie. 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.720 Because you were trying to savor it, right? 00:11:51.800 --> 00:11:52.680 Like, really savor it. 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.600 I kept rewinding the best scenes. 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.200 Yeah, I stopped like every five. 00:11:56.560 --> 00:12:05.440 Five, ten minute intervals, and I was like trying to like, I was falling asleep constantly, and I was like getting up and stretching while watching some of the scenes. 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.840 Like, I just, there were, there, I was genuinely like trying to watch it. 00:12:10.380 --> 00:12:11.660 like focusing on it, right? 00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:16.940 And then like I couldn't there were just some parts that just like it just I just don't understand. 00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:21.100 Like it didn't it didn't grasp me 00:12:19.579 --> 00:12:22.699 The special effects of the sleep machine were just too good. 00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:25.100 It was working too well. 00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:27.579 The sound was too good. 00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:30.639 Well, I must confess, I did not complete the film. 00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:32.079 I tried to watch it last night. 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:33.600 I sacrificed my Saturday night. 00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:34.560 I got home at eleven p. 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:34.720 M. 00:12:34.959 --> 00:12:38.160 I switched it on and then I fell asleep within an hour. 00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:38.880 I remember texting Adam. 00:12:38.959 --> 00:12:41.040 I was just like, I don't think I'm going to make it. 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.079 And I said, usually I'm like, just do it. 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.160 And this time I was like, I totally understand. 00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:48.000 Don't stress it. 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:49.440 You're not missing anything. 00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:54.720 So, I only watched the first hour, and I was not willing to sacrifice my Sunday afternoon to try. 00:12:54.880 --> 00:12:58.640 Like, like Nikki sacrificed five hours of his Sunday afternoon. 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:00.480 Yeah, that's understandable. 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.800 So I'm going to be an audience here. 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.400 We're going to watch your live reaction to the big twist at the end. 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.160 When the movie gets really good right at the end. 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.520 I did read the wiki summary and I still have a few questions. 00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:13.280 I don't really understand some parts. 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:14.000 I don't know. 00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:17.040 So I'm really relying on Killy and Nikki here too. 00:13:17.520 --> 00:13:21.200 Adam, you said you didn't really Adam watched the film, but didn't register most of it. 00:13:21.520 --> 00:13:21.920 None. 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:24.960 Again, I thought if it was taking place in a different time period. 00:13:25.520 --> 00:13:26.160 No. 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.240 You just missed the complete premise of the movie. 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.960 So, Nikki and Dilly is going to walk us through the movie. 00:13:31.280 --> 00:13:36.480 It's like a movie that has its own set of rules, its own set of world building. 00:13:36.800 --> 00:13:37.520 It's like. 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.279 Like, at first we like Adam had the same idea that I did when the first time we watched it. 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.800 We thought it was like doom dune dune-esque. 00:13:46.040 --> 00:13:48.760 Sci-fi world, but it's nothing like that. 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:59.240 Yeah, because there's like some scenes where there's like really racist caricatures that seem out of place in time, and 00:13:57.160 --> 00:14:05.480 There's like a Power Rangers type villain, kind of, and it and it, and it, and it looks like you're in like a Mad Max type of future landscape. 00:14:06.420 --> 00:14:10.500 And I was like, okay, I guess this is the future, and I thought it was just a different time period. 00:14:10.819 --> 00:14:15.699 I didn't realize it was present day, and this is 00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:15.540 I mean, Killy, what like a warlord? 00:14:15.780 --> 00:14:16.180 Yeah, absolutely. 00:14:16.980 --> 00:14:19.940 That was an absurd warlord terrorist organization. 00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:20.500 That's it. 00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:26.500 And she hangs out with other racist-looking 00:14:24.880 --> 00:14:30.320 Stereotypes that are of warlords, warlords from other countries that help her do warlord things. 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:31.520 Creating weapons. 00:14:31.760 --> 00:14:32.400 Create weapons. 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.920 Actually, like, to be honest, like, that was the only part of the film, like. 00:14:36.140 --> 00:14:46.140 Forever I didn't like like the the the that Killy you didn't like the only part with a woman yeah 00:14:44.400 --> 00:14:49.440 Yeah, so the thing that I pointed out, the whole movie, the whole cast is like male-dominated. 00:14:49.520 --> 00:14:50.160 It was just so. 00:14:50.400 --> 00:14:50.560 Yeah. 00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:51.680 It was so. 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:52.800 Obvious. 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.760 Like, there was just only one female character in the whole movie. 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.640 And she's a villain. 00:14:56.880 --> 00:14:58.320 And, like, there were just, like, I don't know. 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.800 Like, she feels like nags the whole time. 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:01.600 It just. 00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:03.420 There is no woman in the village as well. 00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:05.580 Like, yeah, that was like super weird. 00:15:05.660 --> 00:15:05.820 Yeah. 00:15:06.140 --> 00:15:12.060 It feels very like a little bit of a stretch here, but it's like gay-coded in a way. 00:15:12.140 --> 00:15:22.140 'Cause like there are some characters that were like I think there was a guy that was like cross dressing and there were like a lot of there were a few flamboyant characters 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:21.120 Gross dressing? 00:15:21.280 --> 00:15:27.440 Yeah, like I felt like there was one that shouldn't be a 16th century Chinese outfit, Nikki. 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.120 No, I don't know. 00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:30.560 Gross dressing? 00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:32.340 Was it like part of the theater? 00:15:32.660 --> 00:15:33.060 Yeah, the theater. 00:15:33.540 --> 00:15:35.700 No, it's just like medieval costume. 00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:42.020 It's very 00:15:40.400 --> 00:15:46.320 But did you notice that, Keely, when you were watching it as a kid, that there were there was very little female characters in the movie in general? 00:15:46.400 --> 00:15:52.160 I was probably safe, of course, because I was not that aware of the s uh like I mean, I was a kid. 00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:55.700 I just feel like when I watched, I was like, oh, wait, there is none? 00:15:56.020 --> 00:15:57.300 It was so noticeable to me. 00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:58.020 Like, I don't know. 00:15:58.180 --> 00:16:01.940 It was just a lot of, it was like a sausage fest we've seen. 00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:05.140 It's like, no women. 00:16:05.420 --> 00:16:05.819 at all. 00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:12.300 Like a barely a one old woman just shouting for one shot and then the villain, that's it. 00:16:12.540 --> 00:16:15.019 And then there was an auntie character. 00:16:15.060 --> 00:16:15.540 Who? 00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:20.660 In the past, like in the flashback with the with oh yeah, right, right, right. 00:16:20.740 --> 00:16:24.740 The scientist's auntie, and she was yeah, yeah, yeah, but it doesn't matter, look. 00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.700 Shall we get into it? 00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:27.540 Yeah, what's the what's the underground chamber? 00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:33.140 There's like it the movie like starts with like this like lecture from this scientist guy. 00:16:33.380 --> 00:16:35.380 Oh, okay, yeah, okay, immediately. 00:16:35.579 --> 00:16:39.980 This is immediately when we were watching, and I was like, This is the longest credit sequence we had ever seen. 00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:48.860 And I was like, Wait, this is the most boring thing I've ever fucking seen, where it just keeps like cutting through titles, and this guy is just giving a lecture trying to like set up. 00:16:48.959 --> 00:16:57.040 the stakes of the film, but by the end of the speech you're just like sorry, yeah, go on, I remember this now. 00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.000 I'm coming back to me. 00:16:58.160 --> 00:17:02.080 It was like a sign of the guy basically he explains the whole gist of those stories. 00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:03.760 Like there's like a guy named 00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:05.039 Agor Sen. 00:17:05.120 --> 00:17:05.280 Yeah. 00:17:05.439 --> 00:17:10.640 He's like this like scientist dude who basically I'm just gonna speak in basics, right? 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:16.720 But like he's just like side the scientist dude who basically built this 00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:16.299 scientific device. 00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:25.419 It's or like some people interpret it as a weapon that basically like it plays like primitive sounds that put people to sleep. 00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:25.899 Yeah. 00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:26.459 All right. 00:17:26.620 --> 00:17:27.339 That's literally it. 00:17:27.659 --> 00:17:27.740 Right. 00:17:27.899 --> 00:17:29.100 It's like a device. 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:30.280 Or weapon, I don't know. 00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:31.640 So they set up the stakes. 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:39.640 And I the first thing that occurs to me is, um, like if you're making a weapon that's based off sound, what's the major flaw here? 00:17:40.179 --> 00:17:41.139 Everyone can hear me? 00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:42.100 Correct. 00:17:42.419 --> 00:17:46.500 So if someone's shooting the fucking sound gun, then they're going to fall asleep. 00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:49.220 Unless he's wearing headphones or something, but they don't really discuss that. 00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:50.019 They never do that. 00:17:50.179 --> 00:17:53.139 So immediately they're like, well, that doesn't really make sense. 00:17:53.040 --> 00:17:57.760 And then the other thing is they the sounds put people to sleep. 00:17:58.320 --> 00:17:59.280 Is that a weapon? 00:18:00.560 --> 00:18:04.640 Is it like discernible sound waves or is it not you don't really hear it? 00:18:04.840 --> 00:18:05.880 But you'll just hear it. 00:18:10.360 --> 00:18:13.320 Maybe like it's like some part you are hearing and some part you are not. 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:14.120 I don't know. 00:18:14.280 --> 00:18:17.080 Like it's 00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:20.740 But even if they can't hear like the guy holding the gun can hear everything the other people on the other side are hearing. 00:18:21.060 --> 00:18:23.620 And they're falling asleep for like 150 years, right? 00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.820 It's not a short amount of time. 00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:26.820 But he hates there are like buttons. 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:36.400 To like change the scene says at one point, like I'll put it in like higher dose to check like how much 00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:35.840 I can increase. 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.320 Because they make some animal fall asleep for two weeks or something. 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.800 There's like a tranquilizer on steroids. 00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:43.040 Right. 00:18:43.360 --> 00:18:47.840 Do we 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.120 Like I mean, that would be a fun drug. 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.880 We all just blast each other with the sound gun. 00:18:50.120 --> 00:18:55.320 But they don't age like ages in like they don't their body doesn't age for like theirs. 00:18:55.800 --> 00:18:57.800 So this is why I thought they would be setting up. 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.760 This is why I thought there is some future time period because 00:19:00.560 --> 00:19:04.640 I'm like, okay, someone fell asleep and then they woke up 150 years later. 00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:05.760 That never happens. 00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:08.080 No, the alien. 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.560 The alien. 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.320 The alien that falls asleep. 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.880 Okay, I'll we'll get through it. 00:19:12.520 --> 00:19:13.320 There's quite a lot. 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.040 I was look, I I really try. 00:19:16.120 --> 00:19:19.320 Like, this movie 00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:20.420 I had to put in 100% of my concentration. 00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:22.500 You're doing very well. 00:19:23.060 --> 00:19:26.180 But the yeah, the the the next logical step isn't oh yeah, the alien. 00:19:26.260 --> 00:19:29.220 I mean like you you know you think it'd be like an Incino man scenario. 00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:30.660 What is an in cinema? 00:19:30.820 --> 00:19:32.260 Like where like some guy is like 00:19:32.360 --> 00:19:36.519 Frozen and then comes to the future years later and is trying to figure it out. 00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:39.399 But yes, there's aliens later, so let's get into it. 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:41.000 Maybe we should start with the characters. 00:19:41.159 --> 00:19:43.159 Yeah, yeah, like I want to explain the weapon first. 00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:47.240 So, like, this weapon is in a 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.360 location called Nishintapur. 00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:47.919 Yeah, yeah. 00:19:48.159 --> 00:19:48.880 Nishindapur. 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:57.360 It's like it's it it's a it's under this Nishindapur region is an underground lab, which is 00:19:55.560 --> 00:19:56.360 Pathogra. 00:19:56.520 --> 00:19:56.680 Yeah. 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:57.480 That's the name. 00:19:57.560 --> 00:19:58.520 The Underground Chamber. 00:19:58.760 --> 00:19:58.840 Right. 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.240 The English name of the movie is The Underground Chamber. 00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.360 Yeah, it houses the this device. 00:20:04.220 --> 00:20:15.740 And basically when the scientist explains the device but basically when the scientist explains the device, there's a lot of people that want to find it, including a terrorist organization. 00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:30.640 Like there was a guy in like in the most com comical villain fashion like there's this guy with wearing a monocle and he he wants he hears of it he records the lecture and he goes to this like 00:20:28.820 --> 00:20:34.740 It's like this woman, she's like this this head of a terrorist organization who she's like an arms stealer or something. 00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:37.220 It's like her name is Begum or something. 00:20:37.300 --> 00:20:42.580 And she basically like has all these warlords come to her 00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:47.700 and like develop weapons for her because she said she wants to have like the most destructive weapon to take over the world. 00:20:48.020 --> 00:20:50.340 Her goal is to collect weapons like Pokemon. 00:20:51.300 --> 00:20:52.340 And she brings. 00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:57.440 Like UN delegates from all over the world to contribute or something. 00:20:57.760 --> 00:20:58.560 And yeah, this Mr. 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:06.560 Monopoly man with the monocle is like her little henchman that 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.320 He's just like a buffoon bad guy from like home alone, basically. 00:21:08.560 --> 00:21:09.040 He is, yeah. 00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:11.920 Like, he's just like, okay, I'll get into the characters. 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:17.200 Like, you have the scientist dude from the beginning that talk that talks about this weapon. 00:21:17.040 --> 00:21:26.080 You have the monocle villain with his henchmen, his goons, who works for this like queen terrorist woman warlord person. 00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:31.520 And then we get to like this scene where we there's like a there's a kid in the movie because it's a children's movie. 00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:34.960 This kid, he's like named Kartig Rose. 00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.360 He's like basically like the main character. 00:21:37.600 --> 00:21:40.640 And we find out that he 00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:43.860 Is going to be the heir to the the underground chamber. 00:21:44.100 --> 00:21:45.860 He's like a descendant of Agor Sen. 00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:47.700 No, no, no, no, no, no, descendant. 00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:48.580 So, yeah, I fucked up. 00:21:50.100 --> 00:21:50.580 He's poor. 00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:53.060 He's 00:21:51.260 --> 00:21:51.900 Poor in the beginning. 00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:53.179 Yeah, his poor in the beginning. 00:21:53.260 --> 00:22:00.380 It says like maybe like this like that that building was not like owned, like ownerless. 00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:01.980 What is the term for that? 00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:02.400 I forgot. 00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:14.400 And then like maybe the government auctioned it to someone and then that person who bought it was he's like related to him somehow and he duh didn't have any heir 00:22:12.620 --> 00:22:24.780 like direct heir so the the the the weird comical the attorney like found him as the only living heir to hand over the 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:29.040 um building because so this this this kid he's like a scientific genius. 00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:30.960 He's he's good at tinkering machines. 00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:35.920 He also has his uncle who's like a buffoon and like is in debt. 00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:50.440 And then they find out that they're like they're gonna inherit this this this this estate the the Agrosen mansion where it houses the underground chamber where the scientific device is yeah, but they don't know that yet they don't know that yet pretty much 00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:52.779 And like they decide to go to Nishintapur. 00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:58.620 Well, sorry, l the the attorney tells them, Hey, someone's buying up all these old houses for ghosts. 00:22:58.779 --> 00:22:59.100 Yeah. 00:22:59.419 --> 00:23:00.460 Do you want to sell? 00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:02.139 And they're like, No. 00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:02.860 Right? 00:23:03.180 --> 00:23:03.740 Right, right, right. 00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:08.780 And that but he but he is hinting at like there's a group buying up all these houses for ghost reasons. 00:23:09.100 --> 00:23:13.820 That's the people from the 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:12.680 The villain. 00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:14.520 Like they were buying out all the houses. 00:23:15.320 --> 00:23:16.680 But I'm saying the attorney's telling them. 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:17.000 Yeah. 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.880 Was it actually for ghost hunting or they're trying to buy the house because they know that the device is housed there? 00:23:22.760 --> 00:23:24.840 That's the reason the device. 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:26.760 This is from that villain group. 00:23:26.919 --> 00:23:29.400 But they're covering up, they're telling everyone it's because of ghosts. 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:29.720 Yeah. 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:31.080 So to make it realistic. 00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:33.400 This will definitely discourage other people from trying to buy it. 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:33.880 True. 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.360 Strategy. 00:23:34.520 --> 00:23:37.000 Yeah, they're like doing research on ghosts. 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:39.560 And yeah, yeah, sorry. 00:23:40.280 --> 00:23:47.880 Yeah, they decide to travel to Nishindipur and they meet like I swear to God, this the I'm trying to make sense of this aspect of the movie and it still doesn't make sense. 00:23:47.860 --> 00:23:48.980 There's a theater troop? 00:23:49.299 --> 00:23:50.100 I do not understand. 00:23:50.260 --> 00:23:52.500 I don't understand the whole point of this th them. 00:23:52.659 --> 00:23:55.860 Like, there's a theater troupe in there in the estate. 00:23:56.179 --> 00:23:59.539 I'll I'll I'll I'll 00:23:57.460 --> 00:24:07.540 chill what happens it's like whenever like in village or in in small towns like there will be like the local local people will try to 00:24:05.800 --> 00:24:11.480 do a theater as part of the festival and like we also like it was Durga Puja at this point. 00:24:11.560 --> 00:24:13.160 It's like right now happening. 00:24:13.320 --> 00:24:17.560 It's like one of the biggest festivals in Bengal. 00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:21.600 So like during that like they would have like local people doing theaters. 00:24:21.760 --> 00:24:23.840 So I also did that as when I was a kid. 00:24:23.919 --> 00:24:26.960 So it's like just 00:24:25.040 --> 00:24:27.360 They are not professional theater artists or anything. 00:24:27.520 --> 00:24:28.640 It's just random people. 00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:38.240 And then, like, there will be like one person who knows a little bit of how to stage a theater and try to like rearse with everyone and try to put a show. 00:24:38.580 --> 00:24:39.299 put together a show. 00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:40.419 So that's homeless. 00:24:40.580 --> 00:24:41.620 Why are they at this house? 00:24:41.860 --> 00:24:44.900 No, because that's the place they found to rehearse. 00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:46.500 To rehearse. 00:24:46.540 --> 00:24:50.460 And where does the actual festival or dances theat theater take place? 00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:55.660 Theater will take place on a like a temporary stage that will be put on to later. 00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.039 So the theater troupe is practicing because no one's living in this house. 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:00.360 Yeah. 00:25:00.600 --> 00:25:03.080 And then they show up, and the uncle joins the theater troupe. 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.320 Yeah. 00:25:03.639 --> 00:25:03.720 Yeah. 00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:07.159 And they say, like, okay, we leave because you guys already came here. 00:25:07.399 --> 00:25:09.080 And then the uncle says, no, don't leave. 00:25:09.159 --> 00:25:11.000 Like, I love theater because he doesn't do it. 00:25:11.360 --> 00:25:11.760 Anything else? 00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:18.080 I think he has a knack for theater and he joins in and changes the topic of the theater and everything. 00:25:18.399 --> 00:25:18.960 Like, yeah. 00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.600 And what is the point of this in the movie? 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.679 That's the question. 00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:25.679 No, that was the question that was lingering. 00:25:26.040 --> 00:25:26.840 In my mind the whole time. 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:32.920 It's a way to give dances the Bolly the Indian cinema dance numbers and songs, I guess. 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:38.600 Uh I don't know, because 00:25:36.560 --> 00:25:37.040 It's a bit low. 00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:41.760 He asked asked the alien later to join the theater at one point. 00:25:42.080 --> 00:25:44.480 Yeah, but does that do but that does that do anything? 00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:47.280 I don't 00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:48.420 I think it was one of the funniest parts in the building going on. 00:25:48.580 --> 00:25:49.780 So I loved it. 00:25:50.100 --> 00:25:50.900 Okay, why not? 00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:52.660 Everything has to cater to the plot. 00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:55.540 But is it showcasing a big part of the culture that happens? 00:25:55.780 --> 00:25:57.860 Is it showcasing a big part of Bengali culture? 00:25:57.940 --> 00:25:58.820 Is theater that big? 00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:00.780 Theater people. 00:26:01.100 --> 00:26:06.140 Local theater, like local people, like just putting up a stage show, and it has like a nice song. 00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:06.780 Okay. 00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:07.740 Okay. 00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:11.180 No, and then like you get like not answered. 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:26.040 Yeah, so so yeah, they they they like the the the uncle and the kid like they just meet this theater troupe living in this estate and rehearsing in this estate and then they did like the guy just like the uncle decides to join them and then they're like 00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:26.059 I don't even know what the point is. 00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:28.139 Even as I'm saying this, I don't understand the point of this. 00:26:28.380 --> 00:26:31.740 Yeah, I thought that is the kid involved with this. 00:26:32.059 --> 00:26:32.779 No, the kid doesn't. 00:26:32.860 --> 00:26:35.419 It's just Kid watching his uncle leave and join this theater. 00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:37.419 This covers homosexuality. 00:26:37.580 --> 00:26:39.179 I mean, maybe that's the gay themes. 00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:46.780 Coming out of this movie is the uncle discovering his homosexuality through acting and the underground chamber is being in the closet. 00:26:47.020 --> 00:26:50.220 Are you insinuating that theater is for gay people only? 00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:51.420 Not only. 00:26:51.740 --> 00:26:52.620 Mostly. 00:26:52.980 --> 00:26:53.460 Oh my god. 00:26:53.780 --> 00:26:55.140 Wow, that was a bold statement. 00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:56.420 Hashtag cancelled. 00:26:57.220 --> 00:27:05.700 I uh so uh there th there's a scene, okay, like after that there uh the the scientist, Professor Dude, he he gets he gets invaded by these goons, right? 00:27:05.780 --> 00:27:07.460 These mobsters and they were like 00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:10.740 You're gonna lead us to the device. 00:27:11.060 --> 00:27:13.060 And we get to know these goons. 00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:18.900 So you have this monocle, the big guy is like the monocle guy, the monocle-wearing dude, right? 00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:23.340 And then you have this guy with the shades who likes to play around with a pistol. 00:27:23.659 --> 00:27:26.539 And then you have this dude that doesn't speak at all. 00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:30.860 But has like knives and like there's like these this squeaky voice that goes around. 00:27:30.940 --> 00:27:32.140 I have no idea what that is. 00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:35.500 Like it's a squeaky voice that talks for him or something. 00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:36.860 No, no, he makes that voice. 00:27:37.020 --> 00:27:37.740 He makes that voice. 00:27:37.820 --> 00:27:37.980 Yeah. 00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:40.060 That was not very clear to me, man. 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:42.880 And then there was another guy that likes to play video games. 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:45.040 The shittiest handheld video game I've ever seen. 00:27:45.280 --> 00:27:45.920 I've ever seen any of that. 00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:47.040 This is 2003. 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:47.360 Yeah. 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.360 We've had Game Boys. 00:27:49.419 --> 00:27:50.780 It was like a really pink. 00:27:50.860 --> 00:27:54.220 It's like those tiger games where you can only make one movement. 00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:58.460 It's like old, old games, like

said, Hey, you know, you're gonna work for us and find us help us find this device. 00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:16.620 And then we get like this flashback scene of Agor Sen. 00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:19.680 Who's in his lab in the underground chamber building the weapon? 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.480 In the past, right? 00:28:20.800 --> 00:28:21.440 This is in the past, yeah. 00:28:21.600 -->

were sleeping for 150 years. 00:28:32.520 --> 00:28:32.760 Who? 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.280 The alien. 00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:37.320 I'm still really lost on that part. 00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:37.720 Okay, yeah. 00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.480 So, like, he's building this weapon with his, like. 00:28:41.919 --> 00:28:42.720 friends. 00:28:43.360 --> 00:28:51.840 One native one Native American named Kat Katiki and then the other guy Chang who's like this big fat Chinese warrior. 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.360 And like I don't 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:55.039 I don't I don't get it. 00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:56.159 What what is that? 00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:57.360 Like, what is okay? 00:28:57.600 --> 00:28:59.360 Speaking of hashtag canceled. 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:01.679 No, fair point. 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:03.120 These characters. 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.080 Are the most racist things I've seen in a very long time? 00:29:07.560 --> 00:29:12.040 So he has right, a Native American assistant and a Chinese assistant. 00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:14.280 They're both played by Indian men. 00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:14.280 Yeah. 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:24.040 The Indi the Native American guy has a full-on headdress and a tomahawk and looks like 00:29:22.380 --> 00:29:31.500 The character from a Peter Pan movie with like the makeup and stuff, and he's just running around doing the tomahawk stuff, and then you have Chang. 00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:43.760 Playing the Chinese man, which is um I do recommend I don't recommend this movie, but this this Chinese man 00:29:42.080 --> 00:29:48.400 Looks like from an older century than the racist Chinese man in the present-day Warlord scenario. 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.160 Yes, there's another character in the present. 00:29:52.820 --> 00:29:54.260 It's like it's just done for laughs. 00:29:54.340 --> 00:29:55.380 It's like a gag, right? 00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:56.740 It's like a Chinese. 00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:57.940 It's like a Chinaman. 00:29:58.100 --> 00:29:59.380 I'm just gonna say Chinaman. 00:29:59.620 --> 00:30:03.700 Yes, he talks in a very like 00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:16.740 Chinaman is it reminded me of that uh Sharukan film where they're speaking Korean like yeah yeah yeah you remember that that scene like where they were just doing Ching Chong Chang in in that film is this happy new year 00:30:15.860 --> 00:30:16.580 Yeah, yeah, happy new year. 00:30:16.659 --> 00:30:17.139 Happy New Year. 00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:17.860 Happy New Year. 00:30:18.659 --> 00:30:20.019 It kind of reminded me of that. 00:30:20.100 --> 00:30:20.260 Yeah. 00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:22.580 Was this seen as offensive in any way? 00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:26.580 Because it's like they're painting various stereotypical images. 00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:28.580 of like these cultures, right? 00:30:28.820 --> 00:30:29.540 Chinese culture. 00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:30.820 Did you guys find it offensive? 00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:32.340 And was it seen as offensive? 00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:33.380 It's not very PC. 00:30:33.620 --> 00:30:36.500 If it came from Hollywood, it would definitely be canceled. 00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:39.300 Native American was like hollering and stuff. 00:30:40.020 --> 00:30:40.340 Yeah. 00:30:41.060 --> 00:30:45.700 I think 150 years back, I don't think like I think most of them are killed, but anyway. 00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:48.740 Okay, it's 150 years back. 00:30:48.900 --> 00:30:50.180 It was filmed in 2003. 00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:53.940 No, no, no, the the the current one was 00:30:52.460 --> 00:31:01.260 Bad, bad, really bad, but like when they're saying, like, retrospectively, like the Chinese person, he was not even saying anything, he was just like, Yeah, sure, he was just there. 00:31:01.419 --> 00:31:02.620 He was there and fighting. 00:31:04.059 --> 00:31:06.620 I didn't find a Chinese person offensive. 00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:10.380 I I found the the the Indian the not Indian, sorry. 00:31:10.340 --> 00:31:17.780 The Native A Native American guy, like the dressing of him is like was kinda weird. 00:31:18.100 --> 00:31:24.820 And uh the the the current s current Begum's court, uh the Chinese person was very offensive. 00:31:25.280 --> 00:31:26.560 I mean that was like insane. 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.960 Yeah, that was insanely caric caricaturation like bad racist. 00:31:31.120 --> 00:31:35.120 But like the old Chinese helper, I was like, okay, fine, like he's just there. 00:31:35.280 --> 00:31:36.720 He's not even like doing anything. 00:31:36.800 --> 00:31:39.840 He's just fighting when the 00:31:38.820 --> 00:31:39.700 later, that's it. 00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:42.020 So I didn't find him offensive or anything. 00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:42.340 Yeah. 00:31:42.580 --> 00:31:44.900 I mean I don't think Indians would find it offensive. 00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:48.740 It's just like Chinese Chinese to watch this film. 00:31:49.900 --> 00:31:53.420 So anyway, they they they they so there's a gang of agro. 00:31:56.140 --> 00:32:01.740 He basically built the weapon, and then like, I think there's like a bunch of invading bandits. 00:32:01.740 --> 00:32:01.820 Yeah. 00:32:01.980 --> 00:32:08.460 They decide to raid Agor Sen's laboratory to get this, to steal his treasures or whatever. 00:32:08.780 --> 00:32:11.740 And then 00:32:10.019 --> 00:32:14.500 There's like you don't get to see it, but basically that's where the alien comes in. 00:32:14.659 --> 00:32:17.460 His name is like Vic from some planet. 00:32:17.620 --> 00:32:20.580 I don't remember 00:32:18.919 --> 00:32:21.480 I don't know well, whatever, nan nancha or whatever. 00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:26.919 Like, he comes like they can he can only be described, like, as a towering figure who, like. 00:32:27.320 --> 00:32:32.120 has this ray gun that shoots at people and they just kind of like vanish into thin air. 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:36.040 Now this is the plot point number two here. 00:32:36.360 --> 00:32:41.080 When you have a gun that disappears people, why are you looking for a gun that makes people sleep? 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.640 I think he was trying to get it back to his planet. 00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:53.080 So what happened is like he's like he did something in his planet so they kinda uh excommunicated him from his planet. 00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:56.040 So he was trying to find something that they will take him back. 00:32:56.580 --> 00:33:04.580 And then he told them that like he found some device that will put people into sleep and Napcha apparently had a insomnia problem. 00:33:04.740 --> 00:33:06.980 So 00:33:05.320 --> 00:33:12.840 he's gonna he's gonna get this device and they said like, fuck off, like, we don't care, whatever you don't just don't ever come back. 00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:13.320 Wow. 00:33:13.560 --> 00:33:16.200 And then 00:33:14.600 --> 00:33:20.279 He's I think he decides to like take the device anyway and like take over all the planets somehow. 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:20.679 Yeah. 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:22.919 But he has a gun that disappears people. 00:33:23.159 --> 00:33:29.240 So my theory is like he comes from Napta with that gun, so maybe like those people have like 00:33:29.100 --> 00:33:32.620 Antidote to that gun so it doesn't work on them or something like that. 00:33:32.779 --> 00:33:35.260 It's tough to we're doing a lot of work for the movie. 00:33:35.580 --> 00:33:43.740 Yeah, and so the sound thing would be like a new new thing for them, which they will not have a 00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:47.299 I mean, maybe they all have insomnia and this is the cure to the poison they all have. 00:33:47.620 --> 00:33:53.779 But that would have worked, but the the planet said like we don't care about that. 00:33:53.940 --> 00:33:55.620 Like, you know, just don't ever come back. 00:33:55.860 --> 00:33:56.100 So. 00:33:56.800 --> 00:33:59.680 So they did a rerun. 00:34:00.320 --> 00:34:02.720 That could have been a motivation, like, you know, going back home. 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:03.760 Like, what was that? 00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:05.040 Justice League. 00:34:05.040 --> 00:34:07.680 So, in the movie, what's the motivation now then? 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.720 What's he doing? 00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:10.320 He's sleeping most of the time. 00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:13.200 So, why does he need the sleeping machine? 00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:24.520 He so so the the talking head later explains that he they want like if you take the uh sleeping machine you can put everyone to sleep and then you can eat all the food. 00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:25.640 Yeah, 'cause he's a gladin. 00:34:25.640 --> 00:34:27.000 He explains that Vic is a gladin. 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.800 Oh, so he likes his tiffin boxes. 00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:32.840 But again, he could just make everyone disappear and eat everyone's food. 00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:33.480 Yeah, that makes sense. 00:34:34.120 --> 00:34:34.680 That alcohol makes sense. 00:34:35.080 --> 00:34:36.200 It makes sense, but that's what I'm saying. 00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.680 Like, maybe, like, this is a common weapon there, and like, it doesn't matter. 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:39.480 But he's on Earth. 00:34:39.560 --> 00:34:40.920 He's talking about making everyone fall. 00:34:40.780 --> 00:34:42.220 Fall asleep on earth to get their food, right? 00:34:42.379 --> 00:34:43.500 Yeah, we're doing a lot of mental health. 00:34:43.820 --> 00:34:44.300 Yeah, that's true. 00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:46.139 Is this like a world domination thing? 00:34:46.619 --> 00:34:49.020 He can just, he can just make people disappear. 00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:51.659 So, does he get hit by the gun and then falls asleep? 00:34:51.899 --> 00:34:55.659 Yeah, so like he comes, he comes in and 00:34:55.220 --> 00:35:00.819 makes the bandits disappear, but then Agroson comes in with the device and then shoots his his his aunt. 00:35:01.140 --> 00:35:01.940 His aunt comes in. 00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.180 Yeah. 00:35:04.540 --> 00:35:04.860 Okay, sorry. 00:35:09.020 --> 00:35:09.180 Okay. 00:35:09.420 --> 00:35:12.940 And then like the aunt uses that sleeping device and shoots it at Vic. 00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:16.460 He falls asleep for like a hundred and fifty human years. 00:35:17.160 --> 00:35:18.920 Like, it goes back to the spaceship. 00:35:19.240 --> 00:35:21.160 Like, he was sleeping in the spaceship or something. 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:26.280 Yeah, that part I never understood because they said, like, they threw him in the. 00:35:26.640 --> 00:35:28.000 in the marshland. 00:35:28.319 --> 00:35:33.440 Uh the the the o and then like but somehow he's in the he's in the spaceship. 00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:35.200 Maybe he put him in the spaces. 00:35:35.279 --> 00:35:36.000 I don't know, whatever. 00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:40.080 It's the only flaw so far. 00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:40.640 Yeah. 00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:43.840 But yeah, that's the gist of the movie. 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:50.720 And then, like, go we go back to the present day where Vic finally awakens from his slumber and he's like, ah, I need this. 00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:51.800 I need this weapon. 00:35:52.040 --> 00:35:53.240 I need to find it. 00:35:53.560 --> 00:35:59.960 So he goes down to earth to try and find it in, like, this horrible, obvious disguise. 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:05.640 And basically, like, while he was roaming around the the the lands 00:36:04.780 --> 00:36:12.380 He the uncle of the kid finds him and says hey You could be the perfect fit for our theater true. 00:36:12.540 --> 00:36:15.020 Oh my god, you should play as the villain in our play. 00:36:15.260 --> 00:36:19.340 So he brings the guy into the 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:19.840 the Agorsin's lab. 00:36:20.080 --> 00:36:26.560 And you get like this comedic scene where like like the villain is trying to find an instrument. 00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:27.480 Hmm, that's Ray. 00:36:27.720 --> 00:36:32.119 And it's like, you get like all these scenes where like they're throwing musical instruments at him. 00:36:32.200 --> 00:36:33.320 Is it this musical instrument? 00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:34.280 Is it that? 00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:35.040 That this musical. 00:36:35.120 --> 00:36:37.760 It's like, no, I need to find Agroson's instrument. 00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:42.080 He's playing all these instruments right away, which would put everyone to sleep right away. 00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:43.360 I did notice that too. 00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:46.640 When he's testing out every instrument, it's like, dude, you know, this is a weapon. 00:36:46.720 --> 00:36:47.440 You're gonna. 00:36:47.740 --> 00:36:49.580 Inflict this on everyone the minute you play this. 00:36:49.660 --> 00:36:52.540 If this is the weapon you're looking for, like be careful. 00:36:53.660 --> 00:36:56.540 Since he's an alien, can you just describe what he looks like? 00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:58.140 Does he look like an alien? 00:36:58.220 --> 00:36:59.580 Is that why they asked him to be a villain? 00:36:59.660 --> 00:37:00.620 Does he look very villainous? 00:37:01.100 --> 00:37:02.140 Do you even see him yet? 00:37:02.540 --> 00:37:03.820 I don't rem I don't recall. 00:37:05.660 --> 00:37:17.340 He's like this power he kinda looks like Adam if Adam if Adam had like a lot of like he took a lot of like injections to his 00:37:17.260 --> 00:37:18.540 I got testosterone. 00:37:19.099

Yeah. 00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:48.280 So so this head tells Vic, like, you can't just go down and look for the weapon because you don't look human. 00:38:48.600 --> 00:38:54.760 So Vic wears like this long trench coat 00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:57.880 uh black trench coat with like this big ass like black hat. 00:38:58.040 --> 00:38:58.200 Yeah. 00:38:58.360 --> 00:38:59.800 He looks like a cowboy. 00:39:00.040 --> 00:39:00.760 High school shooter. 00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:07.640 So actually like what he was ga wearing before that, the the the costume that was like a 00:39:06.640 --> 00:39:20.799 like a something that people would wear like one fifty years back and then he wanted to wear that and go on the street and he's like, No, don't wear that because everything's changed And so he wears some weird 00:39:19.020 --> 00:39:22.300 Overcoat because I don't know, like, maybe he didn't have anything else. 00:39:22.700 --> 00:39:24.060 Did you like this character? 00:39:24.380 --> 00:39:25.820 Like, as a kid, which one? 00:39:25.900 --> 00:39:26.380 The Vic? 00:39:26.859 --> 00:39:27.420 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:28.380 Was he like your favorite? 00:39:28.460 --> 00:39:29.579 Do you have a favorite? 00:39:29.460 --> 00:39:32.740 No, I like the talking head more because he was dissing him all the time. 00:39:33.060 --> 00:39:33.620 Okay, makes sense. 00:39:34.020 --> 00:39:36.740 I'm just trying to analyze your psyche through your love of this film. 00:39:37.140 --> 00:39:40.180 Okay, but to give the movie credit, I do like. 00:39:40.520 --> 00:39:42.599 the the alien spaceship set. 00:39:42.839 --> 00:39:48.119 I do like the set where it was a lot there was a lot of effort put into that that whole set. 00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:50.760 You have the head on a machine. 00:39:50.660 --> 00:39:58.100 And it's all like elaborate with the body paint and like the the the the kajiggers going around his face. 00:39:58.420 --> 00:40:01.380 Like all the 00:39:59.460 --> 00:40:04.740 I think it was made of like all spare computer parts and weird, weird fans and these and that. 00:40:05.540 --> 00:40:12.420 Yeah, like a very okay, I I w I will say like the musical number in that scene was kinda 00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:11.200 It's kind of fun. 00:40:11.359 --> 00:40:12.160 It looks a little fun. 00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:15.520 But the talking had a wake for one time in 50 years while awake was a little bit more. 00:40:17.520 --> 00:40:18.319 Okay, so it just shut down. 00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:21.279 It's like that head and Mighty Morph and Power Rangers. 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:21.520 Yeah. 00:40:22.720 --> 00:40:23.200 Yeah. 00:40:24.140 --> 00:40:27.580 We missed the village. 00:40:27.740 --> 00:40:28.860 The inuspicious man. 00:40:29.180 --> 00:40:30.380 Yeah, so there's that. 00:40:31.340 --> 00:40:32.940 But I can't remember where that was in the movie. 00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:35.420 So when they come to the village. 00:40:35.640 --> 00:40:49.160 first time like this the the the Kartik and his uncle like the main character do like the main character and his uncle so next morning he wakes up and he sees that like everyone is like walking in his 00:40:47.520 --> 00:41:00.320 They saw it in his in front of his house, like blindfolded and not looking, and then one person singing that, like, I'm the auspicious man, you can go anywhere, like, you'll not find a second one like me. 00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.240 And then so they come down and they ask him like, W what the fuck is happening? 00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:08.119 Like why everyone is like behaving like a blind person? 00:41:08.200 --> 00:41:12.359 And he says like if you see my face 00:41:11.420 --> 00:41:13.500 And then something bad will happen to you. 00:41:13.740 --> 00:41:15.900 So you guys are new, so you don't know me. 00:41:16.140 --> 00:41:25.340 And then that's the time the villains also like the the the villain cryo like who is working for big um and hunting for the 00:41:24.220 --> 00:41:33.819 the equipment also comes there and then they they ask the kid to and the uncle to sell the house. 00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:36.380 in within three days only within two days. 00:41:36.700 --> 00:41:45.340 And I mean, that's the bad thing is happening to them because they saw the guy and then after right after that 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:50.599 uh the the the car get punctured and stuff like that because they saw the b inauspicious man as well. 00:41:50.680 --> 00:41:55.240 So that's the introduction of the inauspicious man, like who 00:41:53.540 --> 00:41:55.700 Like, come into the picture later, yeah. 00:41:55.780 --> 00:41:57.860 But my question is, what was the point of the character? 00:41:58.180 --> 00:42:01.540 No, because he was uh giving bad luck to all the villains, yeah. 00:42:01.700 --> 00:42:03.860 But, like, yeah, yeah, no, I know. 00:42:04.100 --> 00:42:07.060 So, um, just to explain a little bit. 00:42:07.240 --> 00:42:07.640 More. 00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:15.240 He is he gives every anyone that looks at him bad luck, and people pay him to give bad luck to their enemies. 00:42:15.560 --> 00:42:18.520 And how does he give them bad luck by looking at them? 00:42:18.420 --> 00:42:18.900 So he's a. 00:42:19.060 --> 00:42:21.780 Is he an alien himself to possess these powers? 00:42:22.020 --> 00:42:23.620 He's just a man. 00:42:23.940 --> 00:42:24.100 Yeah. 00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:26.900 There's a lot of ideas in this film, man. 00:42:27.380 --> 00:42:31.540 It's very common to people to say, like, your face is unlucky. 00:42:31.620 --> 00:42:32.180 Like, that's. 00:42:32.260 --> 00:42:34.340 That they just like exaggerated the trope. 00:42:34.740 --> 00:42:36.980 Is there actually a labor market like this in Bengal? 00:42:37.220 --> 00:42:41.460 No, it's an exaggerated, funny take on people saying that your face is unlucky. 00:42:41.620 --> 00:42:44.260 Like, you know, like it'll give me unlucky bad luck. 00:42:44.420 --> 00:42:47.060 Like, that's a very 00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:55.940 something people say to demon people a lot and they just took it and exaggerated it to like, you know, to a s different degree to make it 00:42:54.240 --> 00:42:54.560 Funny. 00:42:54.720 --> 00:42:58.320 It is I mean, you know, people go see Fortune Tellers for good luck. 00:42:58.640 --> 00:43:01.600 It is funny to flip it on its head and look at how absurd that is. 00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:02.080 Yeah. 00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:02.960 You know. 00:43:03.240 --> 00:43:11.880 So he has a clientele that like pays him to just yeah so so and they hire him to give people bad luck too. 00:43:12.120 --> 00:43:12.840 He's like a weapon. 00:43:13.080 --> 00:43:13.240 Yeah. 00:43:13.560 --> 00:43:15.480 Everything's a weapon in this movie. 00:43:16.080 --> 00:43:17.440 But I don't understand the point of the weapon. 00:43:17.680 --> 00:43:18.720 Do they want to sell the house? 00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:20.880 I think that's it, right? 00:43:22.160 --> 00:43:27.440 Does Skartik want to sell the house, or are they just being pressured by all these different people that want to buy the house? 00:43:29.340 --> 00:43:39.500 He's just being pressured by these bad bad guys to save the house so that and the scientist at this point is working with the bad guys to 00:43:37.820 --> 00:43:40.940 Because he's also being coerced by the bad people to work with them. 00:43:41.180 --> 00:43:45.340 So you you have the scene where like the boy is just being chased by the the goons. 00:43:45.580 --> 00:43:45.740 Yeah. 00:43:46.060 --> 00:43:48.700 And then he manages to like escape. 00:43:48.720 --> 00:43:59.920 Escape the goons, but like he ends up he was like riding a bike basically and then he basically crashes his bike and is all hurt, but then the scientist comes in to save him 00:43:58.460 --> 00:44:09.740 And that's when the scientist let's just say he integrates him into the theater troop, into the into the gang of our into our 00:44:08.120 --> 00:44:18.280 gang of heroes, but like it's just it's just a way for the goons the goo we find out that the goons is using the scientists to like get close to them so that he can find the device. 00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:18.920 Yeah. 00:44:19.240 --> 00:44:19.640 Yes. 00:44:19.940 --> 00:44:22.820 Dagbat was so complicated for a kids' movie. 00:44:23.380 --> 00:44:26.660 And at this point, Gartik has no idea that they're all looking for the sleeping device. 00:44:26.900 --> 00:44:27.380 No. 00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:28.279 He doesn't know yet. 00:44:28.520 --> 00:44:31.319 But the scientist is befriending the boy. 00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:34.119 And the boy knows he's looking for something, right? 00:44:34.279 --> 00:44:36.359 Because he keeps trying to solve this riddle. 00:44:36.240 --> 00:44:46.560 Yeah, so so there is like one one scene like where d the the scientist starts talking to him about the scient like the older scientist who made the Devai, Aghor Sen. 00:44:46.700 --> 00:45:01.020 and uh that he starts reading him the diary and he s talks to him about the device and then the boy is like smart he's like oh uh so so all this like researching for ghost is like kinda uh 00:44:59.240 --> 00:45:02.200 Like a front for actually looking for that device, right? 00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:08.200 And then the scientist understands, like, okay, yeah, this kid's like a kind of smarty pants, so he already got it. 00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:12.440 So he tells him everything that 00:45:10.620 --> 00:45:11.660 I am also part of it. 00:45:12.060 --> 00:45:13.420 This kid got me. 00:45:14.700 --> 00:45:15.340 Yeah. 00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:18.860 The kid was like, they like pull the bluff of him. 00:45:18.940 --> 00:45:24.380 And then like he says, like, okay, and he I think he tells him the whole thing that he's also being coerced. 00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:37.120 And he shares the and he shares the the riddle that the scientist wrote in his diary to like open the slab 00:45:35.380 --> 00:45:37.779 that covers the the underground channel of chips. 00:45:37.940 --> 00:45:49.940 It was a riddle, and then you get a scene where like the like we're skipping a little bit, but like there's a lot that's not not not just happening in the movie, but there's a s there's a specific point where 00:45:49.700 --> 00:46:01.620 Majority of the middle part of the movie is the scientist befriending the boy and he's explaining all this exposition about how they're you know, this this house has Agor Sen's lab. 00:46:02.299 --> 00:46:04.859 There's a scientific device that puts people to sleep. 00:46:05.099 --> 00:46:10.619 There's a riddle that we need to solve to open the entry, the secret access. 00:46:10.940 --> 00:46:12.380 of the chamber. 00:46:12.700 --> 00:46:24.460 And there's a scene where I think it was like uh the scientist was just walking by the beach and he sees little girls playing hopscotch 00:46:22.720 --> 00:46:32.640 And that's when he figured out that you need to like jump in steps, in rhythmic steps on the estate 00:46:30.859 --> 00:46:32.460 to open the secret passageway. 00:46:32.700 --> 00:46:34.300 That is like the gist of it. 00:46:34.540 --> 00:46:35.339 Like that's that's it. 00:46:35.500 --> 00:46:39.900 But and it's but it's barely a riddle 'cause it's just instructions on how to walk along the thing. 00:46:39.980 --> 00:46:40.460 Yes. 00:46:40.460 --> 00:46:43.180 Yeah, but if you don't say anything then you don't understand. 00:46:43.420 --> 00:46:45.260 Like how what would you do with the riddle? 00:46:45.420 --> 00:46:47.660 Like if you don't understand Isa Hopscott's guide. 00:46:48.140 --> 00:46:53.660 Sure, but he saw the he saw the 00:46:52.260 --> 00:46:54.420 Slab, I think, right? 00:46:55.380 --> 00:46:57.700 That has all the things mentioned in the riddle. 00:46:57.940 --> 00:47:00.579 But the riddle doesn't say like step on here, step on there. 00:47:00.740 --> 00:47:00.980 Sure. 00:47:01.300 --> 00:47:06.099 The riddle just says, like, in a very 00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:11.600 uh how it's like a very cryptic way some words and that ha some words matches the photos, that's it. 00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:12.240 Yeah. 00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:14.880 Like 00:47:12.940 --> 00:47:18.940 It doesn't say that, like, play it in a hopscotch way or, like, jump, jump, like, no, step on that, or step on this. 00:47:19.820 --> 00:47:23.260 I do like all these old scientists with, like, crutches trying to, like. 00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:27.280 Two hopscotch over this thing and they can't do it 'cause they're all old. 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:28.480 Crisscrossed. 00:47:28.640 --> 00:47:38.160 I think when you translate it, it kind of becomes like very obvious that it's kind of that, but like the the the the the real poem that they were uttering in the film 00:47:37.340 --> 00:47:41.580 It doesn't it doesn't give out like that what is it? 00:47:41.900 --> 00:47:42.060 Yeah. 00:47:42.220 --> 00:47:45.740 Is is this before or after we see the ghost of the scientist? 00:47:46.080 --> 00:47:49.440 Oh no, okay, I s yeah, I did skip a little bit, but yes, there is a scene. 00:47:49.680 --> 00:47:50.960 We just need to mention there's a ghost. 00:47:51.120 --> 00:47:54.240 Yeah, so the scientist is just the ghost hunters were onto something. 00:47:54.560 --> 00:48:00.000 Yeah, the scientist was just chilling, like going over the notes of the the the device. 00:48:00.420 --> 00:48:09.860 And then suddenly you get the scene where like the ghost of Agracen hums to the scientist and says I 00:48:08.120 --> 00:48:08.680 Yeah, what does he say? 00:48:10.520 --> 00:48:14.360 If you can't figure out that simple riddle, you shouldn't call yourself a scientist. 00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:22.480 But like the whole thing was just like perplexing to me because it's like again pointless to the plot if that's the case. 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.360 We just have to like suspend our disbelief that there is a ghost. 00:48:25.600 --> 00:48:27.760 It doesn't explain why he's he's a ghost. 00:48:27.900 --> 00:48:30.380 He explains that it's like an impression from the past. 00:48:30.540 --> 00:48:32.140 It's like something very scientific. 00:48:33.020 --> 00:48:35.660 It's such a half-assed explanation, man. 00:48:35.980 --> 00:48:38.620 And again, it's just to be like, you suck if you don't get it. 00:48:39.580 --> 00:48:41.900 If that scene was removed, it would make zero difference. 00:48:42.340 --> 00:48:42.500 Yeah. 00:48:42.820 --> 00:48:47.700 Yeah, he warns him about the impending alien attack. 00:48:48.340 --> 00:48:50.580 Hey guys, this ghost told me about an alien coming. 00:48:50.740 --> 00:48:52.420 They're like, shut the fuck up, dude. 00:48:53.060 --> 00:48:56.180 So 00:48:54.560 --> 00:48:56.240 Look, I'm just gonna skip straight to it, right? 00:48:56.560 --> 00:48:57.040 He's deliberates. 00:48:57.200 --> 00:49:03.920 Like, maybe they saw, so once he's they understand the riddle, that they need to step 00:49:02.020 --> 00:49:05.060 on like certain things in the courtyard of the estate. 00:49:05.300 --> 00:49:12.260 The passage opens and the kid and the scientist goes down to find the device 00:49:10.420 --> 00:49:21.940 And Vic finds out that this is happening while uh so he follows them and they manage to solve the riddle by stepping on things on the on the estate. 00:49:22.160 --> 00:49:23.360 on the courtyard of the estate. 00:49:23.680 --> 00:49:29.120 But like but then the the goons catch up to them and they try to like kidnap the boy. 00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:34.720 But that's when Vic, the alien comes in and like shoots all of them. 00:49:34.620 --> 00:49:35.020 Dead. 00:49:35.180 --> 00:49:36.460 Like, they just disappear. 00:49:36.780 --> 00:49:38.220 With the with his disappearing device? 00:49:38.460 --> 00:49:39.420 With his disappearing device. 00:49:39.980 --> 00:49:40.700 Yeah, they all died. 00:49:40.860 --> 00:49:47.420 So then, like, Begum, the the the the warlord mistress, she says 00:49:45.460 --> 00:49:59.380 in like typical nano smash and fine I'll do it myself so she brings like all her warlords to the secret passage where they're like they managed to open it right so you have like this like 00:49:57.620 --> 00:50:02.980 Mexican standoff where it's like I thought there's a Mexican stereotype I missed in the scene. 00:50:04.740 --> 00:50:06.820 He has a sombrero and he's asleep in the corner. 00:50:07.220 --> 00:50:11.700 The kid the kid and the kid and the scientist has the scientific device the the sleeping device. 00:50:11.860 --> 00:50:12.100 Sorry. 00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:22.200 The sleeping device, and on one end, you have Vic the alien who wants to get that, and in the other end, you have Begum and her 00:50:20.260 --> 00:50:20.900 Her henchman. 00:50:21.060 --> 00:50:22.820 A henchman, an army of warlords. 00:50:23.700 --> 00:50:29.700 And you get like this, I don't know, this is a hilarious scene where, like, 00:50:28.260 --> 00:50:33.380 The kid goes and fucks with the light switch, and everyone is like terrified. 00:50:36.099 --> 00:50:36.579 Right. 00:50:37.220 --> 00:50:38.900 We need to mention this. 00:50:39.380 --> 00:50:46.420 You're supposed to understand that it's pitch black and no one can see each other, but the movie barely changes the filter. 00:50:46.500 --> 00:50:51.700 So when the kid turns the light off and it cuts back to the 00:50:50.020 --> 00:50:59.619 Cave, you could the audience can see everything and just see a bunch of dudes running into each other because they can't see, but like there's the room is lit. 00:50:59.720 --> 00:51:02.039 And so you're wondering what's going on. 00:51:02.279 --> 00:51:06.039 And then he turns on the light and it's barely perceptible the difference. 00:51:06.200 --> 00:51:11.240 And then they stop running into each other and then he switches again and you can't tell which state it's in. 00:51:11.059 --> 00:51:13.460 You just see people in a fully lit room running into each other. 00:51:13.700 --> 00:51:17.619 So are they are they actually afraid of the dark, these people who have sleeping and disappearing devices? 00:51:17.859 --> 00:51:20.020 Or are they using the dark to fight against each other? 00:51:20.180 --> 00:51:22.420 No, they just can't see, so they're hitting each other. 00:51:22.660 --> 00:51:24.020 'Cause they're buffoons. 00:51:24.099 --> 00:51:25.700 Yeah, it's like done in for laugh. 00:51:26.579 --> 00:51:27.540 It was really funny. 00:51:27.859 --> 00:51:28.579 It was really funny, yeah. 00:51:28.820 --> 00:51:32.020 You should have been there winning. 00:51:32.339 --> 00:51:33.140 So, who wins this? 00:51:34.339 --> 00:51:34.579 Nobody. 00:51:35.380 --> 00:51:36.980 The audience loses the most, though. 00:51:37.300 --> 00:51:40.660 Mick comes in and fucking wipes out the 00:51:39.740 --> 00:51:44.620 Begum's entire army with his disappearing device in one fell swoop. 00:51:44.700 --> 00:51:46.460 Which is just everyone should be fighting for this device. 00:51:46.700 --> 00:51:47.260 That's what I'm saying. 00:51:47.420 --> 00:51:52.940 It seems so much superior to the sound guard that would put 00:51:51.099 --> 00:51:52.380 You to sleep if you heard it. 00:51:52.540 --> 00:51:52.780 Exactly. 00:51:53.020 --> 00:51:53.660 If you're shooting it. 00:51:53.740 --> 00:51:56.300 And Bigum wants to buy the weapon somehow. 00:51:56.859 --> 00:51:59.180 So, why are they not using the sleeping device at this point? 00:51:59.260 --> 00:52:01.660 The scientists and Garthey, do they not know how to operate it? 00:52:01.820 --> 00:52:04.140 So they were trying to figure out how to turn it on. 00:52:04.120 --> 00:52:14.680 So you get like this one finale shot where like Vic is about to fire fire uh his disappearing device on the scientist who's holding the 00:52:12.660 --> 00:52:19.220 sound device and the kid does this one final uh act of heroism where he has like this toy car. 00:52:19.540 --> 00:52:21.300 Oh shit, we never even mentioned the toy car. 00:52:21.460 --> 00:52:26.580 And he throws the toy car at the at at the gun, at at Vic's gun. 00:52:26.660 --> 00:52:33.140 dropping the gun, therefore letting the scientist turn on the device and then shoot the guy to sleep. 00:52:33.460 --> 00:52:34.180 Did I get that right? 00:52:34.340 --> 00:52:34.900 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:52:35.140 --> 00:52:36.260 I want to mention one thing. 00:52:36.420 --> 00:52:38.020 Everything is so fragile here. 00:52:38.180 --> 00:52:40.580 The mix guns drop and it breaks apart. 00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:48.960 And then Vicks while falling asleep falls on the scientist and the the the the sound device also falls on the ground and breaks apart. 00:52:49.279 --> 00:52:53.839 Everything breaks like once it's like falls like 00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:52.680 three, four feet. 00:52:53.080 --> 00:52:58.840 I just need to know how big was this toy car to completely destroy the toy car was his hand. 00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:01.400 And then so the toy car hits his hand. 00:53:01.560 --> 00:53:02.840 So then he just drops it. 00:53:03.160 --> 00:53:06.760 He drops the gun and said that's that that 00:53:06.620 --> 00:53:07.980 Mere drop breaks the goddamn. 00:53:08.220 --> 00:53:08.780 So fragile. 00:53:09.020 --> 00:53:12.460 Yeah, I think you remember the coy the I think you remember the toy car. 00:53:12.620 --> 00:53:15.900 It's like the Hot Wheels car tied to a string. 00:53:16.140 --> 00:53:17.579 That the boy is using the whole time? 00:53:17.900 --> 00:53:18.299 I do remember them. 00:53:18.380 --> 00:53:19.660 So it's like, that was a tiny one. 00:53:19.740 --> 00:53:21.740 How did it go up against these debaces? 00:53:23.640 --> 00:53:25.079 Bigger, it's not that much bigger. 00:53:25.720 --> 00:53:30.359 It's like, okay, is there a return policy on these devices or like warranty or anything? 00:53:30.680 --> 00:53:34.279 You have to go back 150 years to racist wizard to get it. 00:53:35.160 --> 00:53:38.119 The kid can repair radio, so I think he can repair this. 00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:38.799 Good. 00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:39.440 Gadget. 00:53:39.680 --> 00:53:47.839 He has a toy car that tied to a string and it's like a top, I guess, and the kid is playing with it like a top, but it's just a 00:53:46.059 --> 00:53:51.339 A shitty car that he just keeps dropping and pulling back up, and and that's the most indestructible object in this movie. 00:53:51.740 --> 00:53:52.859 All right, fine, it's not his fault. 00:53:52.940 --> 00:53:54.220 But he does own a nice house now. 00:53:54.539 --> 00:53:58.059 It's a very poverty thing, I guess, that maybe we couldn't understand. 00:53:58.500 --> 00:53:59.140 Okay. 00:54:00.660 --> 00:54:02.579 Fuck, now I'm canceled for real. 00:54:03.859 --> 00:54:05.540 So all these devices are broken. 00:54:05.940 --> 00:54:06.820 All these devices are broken. 00:54:07.380 --> 00:54:08.420 Vick has fallen asleep. 00:54:08.660 --> 00:54:11.220 The scientist is deemed an unsung hero. 00:54:11.380 --> 00:54:11.780 And then. 00:54:11.960 --> 00:54:18.520 And I think in the weirdest way to end the movie, in my honest opinion, is that I don't know where the kid w is at this time, right? 00:54:18.600 --> 00:54:24.920 But like Kids goes to check on the inauspicious man who was guarding the 00:54:23.020 --> 00:54:25.020 guarding the ca like the entrance. 00:54:26.380 --> 00:54:26.940 Alright. 00:54:27.260 --> 00:54:27.579 Okay. 00:54:28.060 --> 00:54:31.020 He says like I'll check on him and then yeah. 00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:32.880 Basically, okay, and that that's happening, right? 00:54:33.040 --> 00:54:42.320 So basically the scientist wakes up and the ghost of Agorsen is there and he said 00:54:40.839 --> 00:54:45.320 You know, you saved the day, and I just want to summarize it, alright? 00:54:45.560 --> 00:54:48.520 You saved the day by breaking everything that I made. 00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:53.960 You broke the sound of ice, but you put Vic to sleep, and we need to dispose of him. 00:54:54.460 --> 00:55:03.819 Let me let me take you to space and meet Art Newton and Archimedes and 00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:04.000 But is he talking about I think he's not talking about space? 00:55:04.080 --> 00:55:05.040 I think he's talking about heaven. 00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:07.040 Yeah, but like, so like, so what? 00:55:07.120 --> 00:55:08.000 The scientist is dead? 00:55:08.080 --> 00:55:08.560 Like, he's just like. 00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:09.920 Because he's a ghost. 00:55:09.940 --> 00:55:10.820 Is he a ghost at this point? 00:55:13.220 --> 00:55:13.540 The younger one. 00:55:13.700 --> 00:55:14.260 The younger scientist. 00:55:14.339 --> 00:55:15.460 No, the younger one is not dead. 00:55:15.619 --> 00:55:16.260 I think they. 00:55:16.420 --> 00:55:17.940 So where is Newton? 00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:19.000 We're in space. 00:55:19.319 --> 00:55:19.559 What? 00:55:19.720 --> 00:55:21.319 So they're all in space after they're dead? 00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:23.400 Because ghost is really real here. 00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:27.559 Like, it's just an impression of ghosts are hanging out on another planet? 00:55:27.799 --> 00:55:28.279 Yeah, that. 00:55:28.359 --> 00:55:30.359 You can leave us, they can go anywhere, I guess. 00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:33.400 So why is it Newton come to fucking earth to see the kid then? 00:55:36.500 --> 00:55:37.940 How is the kid gonna get to space? 00:55:38.340 --> 00:55:39.300 Isn't it easier then? 00:55:39.700 --> 00:55:40.500 The kids is not allowed. 00:55:40.660 --> 00:55:41.380 Kids are not allowed. 00:55:42.340 --> 00:55:45.700 So Agra Sen the ghost of Agroson takes. 00:55:46.380 --> 00:55:49.500 uh the scientist and Vic to space. 00:55:49.660 --> 00:55:49.819 Yeah. 00:55:49.980 --> 00:55:51.260 So they can get rid of Vic. 00:55:52.059 --> 00:55:56.779 Meanwhile the the kid inherits 00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:58.840 The entire estate of Agra Sin and they live happily ever after. 00:55:59.160 --> 00:56:09.560 Which brings me to the ultimate question that I have for this movie: what was the fucking point of the theater troop and the kid's uncle that makes 00:56:08.720 --> 00:56:12.079 They serve no purpose in the whole movie. 00:56:12.319 --> 00:56:14.880 I don't understand this part of the movie, man. 00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:17.039 Like, I tried so hard. 00:56:17.140 --> 00:56:31.619 to understand because they took so much time of the movie like hours worth of movie doesn't even matter doesn't matter 00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:33.160 Well if they came out, come out the same year as Lincoln Park. 00:56:33.480 --> 00:56:34.920 I maybe that makes sense. 00:56:38.220 --> 00:56:45.420 Talking out loud about this movie, I think clearly they have so many ideas they're throwing in here. 00:56:45.500 --> 00:56:55.020 Maybe five too many when you have like a ghost and the alien and the theater troop and a magical instrument. 00:56:55.460 --> 00:56:58.980 And like some warlord and time travel. 00:56:59.220 --> 00:57:01.380 Like, maybe you can cut a few pieces. 00:57:01.700 --> 00:57:05.140 And I think they couldn't say no to themselves or something. 00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:06.720 It's just a lot going on. 00:57:07.040 --> 00:57:12.560 I just didn't understand the whole theater troupe thing because they took up so much so much of the movie and then it sucked. 00:57:13.200 --> 00:57:15.200 I think I liked I liked I mean I liked it. 00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:29.880 That they were like foddling doing any making any dialogue saying anything and then yeah, they're just funny 00:57:28.120 --> 00:57:38.680 being there and they had a nice music number where they the the the uncle guy copies like he imitates famous actors 00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:38.280 That he can play any role. 00:57:38.600 --> 00:57:39.720 It's just a side plot, right? 00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:45.880 Like a lot of movies will kind of have the less serious side plot, and that's usually centered on romance, one of the main characters' romantic journey. 00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:47.080 And then you have like the serious plot. 00:57:47.160 --> 00:57:50.920 So I think in this movie, it just took shape in the form of a local theater girl. 00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:51.480 Or he falls in love. 00:57:51.680 --> 00:57:52.560 With acting. 00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:54.000 Yeah, that's beautiful. 00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:55.680 That's the romance subplot. 00:58:00.240 --> 00:58:01.440 So, I don't know. 00:58:01.600 --> 00:58:03.120 So, Killy, I mean. 00:58:04.839 --> 00:58:07.000 Tell us why is this the pinnacle of Bengali film? 00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:10.839 And like, and where do we go from here? 00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:14.280 Call this the Schindler's list of Bengali films. 00:58:14.520 --> 00:58:17.000 And I'm just curious why and where that comes from. 00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:18.839 I think I remember a part where he. 00:58:19.160 --> 00:58:23.080 Keely looked at me and said that it was the pulp fiction of their time. 00:58:25.640 --> 00:58:25.960 Okay. 00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:30.280 No, but but this was Keely's favorite movie growing up, like your favorite childhood movie. 00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:31.400 That's a fair statement. 00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:33.720 It's in your top ten. 00:58:34.040 --> 00:58:36.360 Top ten Erzakis film, yeah. 00:58:37.640 --> 00:58:40.360 The genres of top ten just like gets narrower and narrower. 00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:43.080 Yeah, I mean not top ten of Bengali films. 00:58:43.160 --> 00:58:44.680 Like they're I mean, okay. 00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:52.200 There are good faves, but I thought like it's it's it was like a easy accessible for me, but it became like the most choppy access. 00:58:52.520 --> 00:58:53.240 Yeah. 00:58:53.560 --> 00:59:04.680 It was it was well I mean for me it was just like at that point there was not many good films coming and then this was like very breeze of fresh air for us and then like it was it had those nice music numbers. 00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:06.760 I was saying repeating the same thing. 00:59:06.540 --> 00:59:10.540 But I I didn't say it's like the pinnacle. 00:59:10.860 --> 00:59:17.180 Like whoever like if any Bengali person listens to our podcast, they'll be like 00:59:15.240 --> 00:59:17.240 Okay, I n want to know where this Killi guy lives. 00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:21.720 Please chime in Bengali audience and tell us how you felt about this film. 00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:22.760 I'm just curious. 00:59:23.160 --> 00:59:26.520 But do you feel the same about the movie, watching it as an adult? 00:59:26.359 --> 00:59:32.599 Do you think your association in childhood is too strong to look at it objectively, or just it's a good film? 00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:36.839 No, I mean, it is objectively perceived and it's very good. 00:59:38.040 --> 00:59:38.440 Fair enough. 00:59:39.400 --> 00:59:41.160 Apart from the racist stereotype and 00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:43.520 Not having any women characters. 00:59:43.839 --> 00:59:45.280 That's the least offensive part of it. 00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:47.520 Sexist and racist, but all right, besides that. 00:59:48.160 --> 00:59:50.240 Sexist and racist, that's the only challenging part. 00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:54.320 I can handle like sexism and racism, but bad storytelling. 00:59:54.420 --> 00:59:55.540 That's where I draw the line. 00:59:55.780 --> 00:59:56.340 It's amazing. 00:59:56.500 --> 00:59:58.740 It's like it's such so well narrated. 01:00:00.500 --> 01:00:02.820 All right, so what's your staircase moment? 01:00:03.599 --> 01:00:05.119 That Killy chose this film. 01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:12.160 I mean 01:00:10.900 --> 01:00:14.100 Block twist is when he's going to be choosing movies for the foreseeable future. 01:00:14.580 --> 01:00:19.940 I feel he's banned for the next movie 01:00:18.720 --> 01:00:19.920 Dance Floor Clause. 01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:22.320 I legit don't remember musical numbers. 01:00:22.560 --> 01:00:24.320 I remember the Inauspicious Man was five. 01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:28.400 But that wasn't the theater troop dance. 01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:29.520 You don't remember. 01:00:30.340 --> 01:00:45.140 I mean it wasn't that was it catchy if you don't remember it it's probably not very catchy I just remember the the first one where Argo Sen is singing about his sciencey things and it was like it had like oh yeah it had like a very whimsical tone to it 01:00:43.820 --> 01:00:48.620 And I kind of felt like that moment kind of sets the entire tone of the film. 01:00:48.700 --> 01:00:50.380 It's like it's a children's movie. 01:00:50.700 --> 01:00:54.700 The problem is, during that song, there's a guy with a headdress and a tomahawk. 01:00:54.940 --> 01:00:57.500 Doing like a pow pow dance behind him the whole time. 01:00:57.660 --> 01:01:02.300 So it's like really hard to pay attention to that song. 01:01:02.619 --> 01:01:05.579 So you meant to say they didn't do that dance? 01:01:06.859 --> 01:01:08.140 It wasn't correct. 01:01:09.020 --> 01:01:11.420 It was not correct choreography. 01:01:11.740 --> 01:01:15.819 As a Native American, I family feud factor. 01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:21.440 Well, your honor loves theater. 01:01:21.760 --> 01:01:26.160 And he wants to get rich and own the estate of Agorsen. 01:01:26.440 --> 01:01:27.880 But he's good with Kartik. 01:01:27.960 --> 01:01:30.119 He's not trying to take it over from Kartik, right? 01:01:30.200 --> 01:01:30.680 Like, there's no. 01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:31.079 Yeah. 01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:35.079 He's like a very bumbling but loving uncle character. 01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:36.839 Perfect fit for theater. 01:01:38.799 --> 01:01:40.160 I don't understand the point of the character. 01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:44.160 Well, I'm just trying to think what happened to the guy's family again? 01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:45.599 Yeah, where is his parents? 01:01:45.680 --> 01:01:47.359 Why is he living with his uncle? 01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:48.560 I never great. 01:01:48.640 --> 01:01:49.520 Who gives a shit about that? 01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:51.280 We need more ghosts. 01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:53.440 There are orphans everywhere. 01:01:54.240 --> 01:01:55.200 Yes, good. 01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:56.160 That's fine. 01:01:57.040 --> 01:02:02.079 We need to focus more on the robot head and the spaceship than watching kids alone. 01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:04.560 Oh, so Kelly, this is specifically for you. 01:02:04.640 --> 01:02:06.480 What's the regional heat check on this film? 01:02:06.720 --> 01:02:07.760 That's pretty dope. 01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:14.079 You think did it replicate your life in 2005? 01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:15.280 That's not the question. 01:02:15.839 --> 01:02:17.680 Didn't this movie influence you in any way? 01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:19.440 Like you as an adult? 01:02:20.900 --> 01:02:22.980 Did it inform your love of sleep? 01:02:23.780 --> 01:02:24.420 I guess so. 01:02:24.500 --> 01:02:25.460 Yeah, that can be true. 01:02:25.700 --> 01:02:26.180 Oh, no, no. 01:02:26.260 --> 01:02:29.460 I mean, the way the village is portrayed is kinda. 01:02:29.700 --> 01:02:31.300 I mean, it felt very homely. 01:02:31.380 --> 01:02:32.740 Like, it felt like, okay, it's happening. 01:02:32.900 --> 01:02:33.620 I mean, it got. 01:02:33.559 --> 01:02:38.119 It didn't feel like two thousand three, it felt like kinda nineteen ninety five, six. 01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:38.760 It did. 01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:44.200 Did you guys talk with each other using ham radios just like these guys, or did you use cellphones in two thousand three? 01:02:44.520 --> 01:02:45.880 two thousand three we didn't have cellphones. 01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:48.039 Two cellphones is like two thousand six. 01:02:47.940 --> 01:02:53.300 Seven, but you weren't just chatting over the radio where everyone else can hear you, right? 01:02:53.619 --> 01:02:54.820 Okay, that's good. 01:02:55.140 --> 01:03:00.180 I just want to conclude this podcast at one point 01:02:58.359 --> 01:02:59.720 Things wait, we need the moral. 01:03:00.040 --> 01:03:03.400 Okay, last one because it is a kids' movie. 01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:05.160 What is the moral? 01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:11.320 Uh, just sleep is important, yeah, yeah, 150 years, maybe join a theater troupe. 01:03:11.980 --> 01:03:13.100 There is no moral. 01:03:13.420 --> 01:03:13.980 It's a children. 01:03:14.220 --> 01:03:15.900 Don't you think there should be for a kids' movie, though? 01:03:16.060 --> 01:03:16.460 Why? 01:03:17.020 --> 01:03:17.580 Yeah, fuck it. 01:03:18.540 --> 01:03:19.340 Nikki, wrap it up. 01:03:20.780 --> 01:03:22.060 A few days ago, I shared this. 01:03:22.140 --> 01:03:23.260 Like, there's a word that I learned. 01:03:23.340 --> 01:03:24.940 It's called exolances. 01:03:25.160 --> 01:03:31.000 It means the tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it. 01:03:31.240 --> 01:03:36.760 And Keely, I think you should have just kept Pythagoras to yourself and not talk to us about it. 01:03:37.059 --> 01:03:46.819 Jesus keep this in keep this movie in the underground chamber do not hop scotch over it and open this 01:03:45.900 --> 01:03:46.300 We liked it. 01:03:46.380 --> 01:03:46.700 We liked it. 01:03:46.859 --> 01:03:47.180 We're kidding. 01:03:47.260 --> 01:03:47.420 I know. 01:03:47.500 --> 01:03:47.820 We're right. 01:03:48.300 --> 01:03:48.460 We're kidding. 01:03:48.540 --> 01:03:48.780 We're kidding. 01:03:48.940 --> 01:03:51.339 I mean, I don't recommend it, but I mean, I think 01:03:51.500 --> 01:03:51.900 Your childhood. 01:03:52.300 --> 01:03:57.420 You came out good, so obviously, this movie is important, and more 01:03:55.460 --> 01:03:56.100 People should watch it. 01:03:56.260 --> 01:04:03.700 I just think it was like a culture thing, maybe that, like, I just maybe like to them, it was like, maybe to you guys, to Bengal, to the Bengali, guys. 01:04:04.340 --> 01:04:05.060 To the Bengalis. 01:04:05.460 --> 01:04:10.100 Whatever group you're a part of, this is like, maybe this was the best film you've ever seen because you haven't seen. 01:04:10.380 --> 01:04:11.100 Good movies before. 01:04:11.180 --> 01:04:11.580 I don't know. 01:04:12.060 --> 01:04:20.860 Like, maybe two Bengali is it was a great movie because I went on Reddit and someone made a thread saying that 01:04:19.020 --> 01:04:22.700 Thager is one of the most underrated movies in the Bengali film cinema in the middle. 01:04:22.780 --> 01:04:23.579 Was that Killy's account? 01:04:23.660 --> 01:04:24.859 Did you know that Killie? 01:04:25.900 --> 01:04:28.940 And then one comment that got downvoted to zero. 01:04:29.140 --> 01:04:32.099 Said, unpopular opinion, I didn't like this movie at all. 01:04:32.260 --> 01:04:35.539 It was boring and it had drawn out scenes and musical scenes. 01:04:35.619 --> 01:04:37.380 And I'm like, well, I should give you enough vote. 01:04:37.859 --> 01:04:40.420 That was Nikki typing and then Killy downvoting him. 01:04:41.500 --> 01:04:51.260 Um, yeah, I think I think that's so, because it's like not very solid plot, but like it's it's it's it's just like 01:04:49.440 --> 01:05:00.720 funny characters that makes uh are they like I mean so it is adapted from a small novella of like this guy called Shishendu 01:04:58.740 --> 01:05:08.740 And then he used to he writes these kind of books like which has like just quirky characters and plot wise it like it's not very uh 01:05:07.040 --> 01:05:10.480 A lot of like a huge three act structure or something like that. 01:05:10.560 --> 01:05:12.800 It's just like funny characters and their dialogues. 01:05:13.120 --> 01:05:15.280 Oh, so this was adapted by a book from a book. 01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:16.720 But the book is like very small. 01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:17.760 It didn't have this many characters. 01:05:18.160 --> 01:05:18.960 No, but that makes sense. 01:05:19.120 --> 01:05:20.880 It does seem like a movie that. 01:05:21.220 --> 01:05:24.099 is from a book because there's so many plot and storylines going on. 01:05:24.420 --> 01:05:25.940 So many plots halfway through. 01:05:26.500 --> 01:05:29.940 Actually, in the book there were not this many plot uh stories. 01:05:30.260 --> 01:05:32.740 Like very s 01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:34.240 Theme splotline is, but the characters were there, like Vic was there. 01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:40.480 I don't remember Begum or like his henchmen, like those three henchmen was there. 01:05:40.640 --> 01:05:43.680 But like, yeah, I mean, there were characters, funny characters, theater troops. 01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:44.880 I don't remember. 01:05:44.640 --> 01:05:54.960 But like there I mean he writes these kind of films like where it's these kind of books like where they're like very quirky characters, it's funny to read and then they're 01:05:53.160 --> 01:05:55.320 Their behavior is very funny and stuff like that. 01:05:55.480 --> 01:05:59.000 It's just, we just read the stories to just know the characters, that's it. 01:05:59.240 --> 01:05:59.400 Okay. 01:05:59.800 --> 01:06:02.680 I kind of want to defend the movie, but I fell asleep to it twice. 01:06:02.840 --> 01:06:03.880 So I don't take that. 01:06:04.200 --> 01:06:07.560 I mean, if I was a kid, I would really like it, I think. 01:06:08.080 --> 01:06:21.440 Has all the ingredients I like, which is spaceships, ghosts, um, closet homosexuality, an overpowering woman, hot scotch, girls on the beach. 01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:23.520 Theater troops. 01:06:23.600 --> 01:06:25.120 I like all that speaks to me. 01:06:25.280 --> 01:06:30.400 If I was a kid, and it has a little smart kid befriending an adult scientist, that spoke to you know I would like that as a kid. 01:06:32.660 --> 01:06:33.700 So that was interesting. 01:06:34.020 --> 01:06:37.380 Yeah, that rekindled some memories I thought I buried deep. 01:06:38.020 --> 01:06:40.260 And so I think if I was a kid I would relate to this more. 01:06:40.420 --> 01:06:43.620 Just as an adult coming at it, it's a little different. 01:06:43.520 --> 01:06:43.760 Yeah. 01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:45.200 I think that's what I say. 01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:48.960 Like I think like I liked it as a kid because of the characters and that's it. 01:06:49.040 --> 01:06:52.880 Like I I think I think I can finally narrow it down like after going over it. 01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:55.680 I think it's 01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:59.440 Was just the characters, mostly the characters and mostly like Chang's which one which one was it? 01:06:59.680 --> 01:07:08.640 Everyone like Vic and then the the the theater troupe, the inauspicious man 01:07:06.720 --> 01:07:08.079 the kid himself. 01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:12.000 I was not very fan of the scientist guy, he was kind of boring. 01:07:12.319 --> 01:07:19.520 But and three three three attackers like three three henchmen like who were attacking all the time 01:07:17.799 --> 01:07:20.599 Like, I think it's like yeah, that's it. 01:07:20.680 --> 01:07:27.640 Like, I think I love the those characters watching on a big screen, and that's why I was like 01:07:25.660 --> 01:07:25.820 Sure. 01:07:27.820 --> 01:07:29.740 If you're interested in watching this movie, good luck. 01:07:29.900 -->
