[00:00:52] We're just waiting for Amrita. We shouldn't actually wait. We should just start doing our thing now.

[00:00:58] I think it's otherwise it just gets boring. We're waiting around for Amrita.

[00:01:02] Sujoy, man. You just came back from holiday.

[00:01:04] Sorry, sorry, sorry. I have to mute the stream because it's affecting like Asim.

[00:01:10] My two two Asim. What did you say?

[00:01:14] I said you just came back from holidays, man. I think people have been waiting with

[00:01:19] bated breath on what you've been doing for the last...

[00:01:21] Nobody cares about me. It's okay. Nobody in the podcast cares about me.

[00:01:28] What do you mean, man? Your audience loves you. What are you talking about? You're the

[00:01:33] cinnamon in the stew.

[00:01:34] You're the cinnamon in the stew.

[00:01:50] I just compared... Yeah, Asim just called me a cinnamon in the stew.

[00:01:56] What?

[00:02:00] Sujoy was saying nobody cares about him. I'm like, no man, people care about you.

[00:02:04] What are you talking about? I was asking him how his holiday was and he

[00:02:07] wasn't telling me. He was waiting for you to come.

[00:02:10] Yes, tell us all about Kurya. Kurya, my girlfriend.

[00:02:13] No, no. Okay. Thanks, Amrita for bringing that up.

[00:02:19] We're dating up on the Kiyawga. Like that's...

[00:02:23] Yeah. How did that go?

[00:02:25] It didn't go well. But I'm not there to date as, you know,

[00:02:32] I'm there to travel and eat and photograph and yeah, it's beautiful.

[00:02:36] Like I went to Hong Kong and Singapore, well, Singapore, Hong Kong, Busan, Seoul and back here

[00:02:42] two weeks. Yeah, it was nonstop eating and nonstop walking. I walked a lot after even

[00:02:49] after all that eating, I lost like three kilos, which was great.

[00:02:52] But my feet are still recovering.

[00:02:56] Yeah, I will highly recommend Busan out of all the cities that I visited this time.

[00:03:02] All like Singapore, Hong Kong and Seoul have that mega city feel, but Busan is a bit more

[00:03:07] different in scenery and how the city is built. And it's got a smaller town vibe compared to Hong

[00:03:14] Kong and Seoul. And yet there are, you know, the clubs and the eateries and everything

[00:03:21] is also there. But it's got temples, it's got beaches. It's really, really pretty.

[00:03:26] It's yeah, I really, really like Busan a lot more than I would have expected. And the food is great.

[00:03:34] You've never been right Amrita? To Busan? No, I'm never been.

[00:03:40] I was surprised. I was looking at your Instagram too and you seem to really,

[00:03:42] really love it. I was like, oh, I didn't think I thought, you know, maybe

[00:03:45] Hong Kong or something would be more your vibe. But it's,

[00:03:48] it was like, Sujoy was like, you know, he was like texting me from Hong Kong.

[00:03:52] He was like, oh my God, I love it. Yeah, it is like Hong Kong. Like I do street photography and

[00:03:59] from that perspective, I think it's probably very, very close to the New York. You know,

[00:04:06] I don't like the city, but I really like photographing it. Like it's got visual scenery

[00:04:13] everywhere. So much its sensory overload in a way. But also like Hong Kong,

[00:04:19] the way the city is designed is amazing. And like, it's, it's, it facilitates for

[00:04:27] photographers to go and explore the city. It's kind of walkable. But even then,

[00:04:33] like you can get on the public transport and then walk and explore the city. Yeah,

[00:04:37] it was great to get lost in Hong Kong, you know,

[00:04:40] So the most important question that I have for you is, I mean, I'm going to ask the first

[00:04:45] one with the second one. I recommended a chocolate cake to you. How was that chocolate cake?

[00:04:52] Was it called awfully chocolate or awesome chocolate or something like that? So

[00:04:56] Asim has been hyping this chocolate cake and chocolate cake place in Singapore. It's everywhere.

[00:05:03] I told them this. By the way, Asim went to this place before the pandemic. Just know people

[00:05:08] have a reference for what's happening here. Okay.

[00:05:17] It's very rich, but I don't know if I'm the biggest fan of chocolate cake, to be honest.

[00:05:24] And it was too rich. It was too much for me to finish. And I know I'm banned from the

[00:05:30] Bernie house now because also you got the wrong one by this. This is not the one I got the one,

[00:05:39] the two that you recommended. I got one of them. Okay. Don't look at all like the one that I thought

[00:05:45] it was okay. Okay. Disappointing then. Shall we get into bodybuilding a little bit? Sure.

[00:05:53] We were just wanted to do like a like Suja is just back. I don't know if you watched,

[00:05:57] did you watch any Hira Mandi while you were there? No, I have, I still not watched Hira Mandi.

[00:06:02] No. And I have like zero energy to watch it. I think it's mine. I think Asim and I have

[00:06:09] suffered enough for the sake of this podcast. Like you don't know. I was like so excited

[00:06:15] before it came out and especially for Sonakshi and everybody and the images look great.

[00:06:21] But then the conversation around it has been, oh, can too much bansali be a thing and all of that.

[00:06:27] And I'm like, I'm already exhausted. You know, I'll move on.

[00:06:34] Usama, this is because my Ulu ka Pattham. That's why this mug is our shape. Yeah.

[00:06:42] But I wanted to ask you like, okay, it's interesting when you haven't watched the show

[00:06:46] you've kind of missed that whole promotional tour of it, but you pick up things from the memes,

[00:06:52] discussions, what are the things that you've kind of picked up without having seen the show?

[00:06:57] I've seen like stuff like, you know, the Urdu that has been used in this show has been like

[00:07:04] very much meme, because how fake it is and how everybody is trying too hard but not enough

[00:07:11] in a way and the lack of research that has gone into making the show, which is like

[00:07:17] kind of brands bansali to be honest, you know, and everybody seems to be happy for Sonakshi

[00:07:23] that she's getting to do stuff that she should have been doing for the last decade or so. But

[00:07:29] she's sort of vanished after Lutera in a way. And somebody's calling Aditya Rao Haideri Fat

[00:07:37] or something. I don't know what's happening. Yeah, yeah, that's what I wanted to hear from you.

[00:07:44] This day today I saw a TikTok it was like this girl was like, Oh my God, are fat roles back?

[00:07:50] I was like, these are not fat roles. It's just like a normal beautiful moment.

[00:07:54] Yeah, don't make me take off my t-shirt right now. You want to see fat roles?

[00:08:00] Yeah, it was it was it's been a crazy ride like just seeing like showed like, you know,

[00:08:07] make so much noise and now they're in can too. So they're doing the promotion of it.

[00:08:11] So it's just interesting to see. But I don't think you'll be watching it now right? Like since

[00:08:15] the hype. I might I don't know. I might I don't know. Yeah, I'm not rushing back to it and

[00:08:22] like, I'm not I've not renewed my Netflix subscription. So wow. Yeah.

[00:08:29] That is impressive that you're literally almost like living an ascetic life here,

[00:08:33] you know, I do have a prime subscription. That's why I watched the Fafa movie.

[00:08:40] Yeah, we'll talk about it. Let's get into it. Let's get into it. Yeah, let's talk about some

[00:08:44] of the movies we watch. So I watched the movies that Amrita watched in the last few

[00:08:48] episodes, which I didn't get a chance to. There was still a few other movies that I

[00:08:53] literally started them and then I quit. So I quit Shaitan. I quit Yodha and I only really

[00:09:01] was considering Manjul Malbois but it was just too long. I couldn't fit it in.

[00:09:05] And Yodha was literally the reason that I cannot take any soldiers being super

[00:09:09] efficient in their killing at the moment. This is not something that I wanted to watch.

[00:09:13] So I skipped that one. But Avisham, I watched and Madhgaon Express, you also watched Avisham

[00:09:19] Sujoy. Did you manage to finish it? Yeah, I watched it this morning.

[00:09:25] It's a mass movie done well, I think. I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed

[00:09:30] Fahad Fassal in this new avatar that I haven't seen before. Not that I'm the most educated

[00:09:35] Fahad Fassal fan around. I don't know. I probably can count his movies on, you know,

[00:09:41] one hand. But I really enjoyed it, how they used the trope of the lead character being a gangster,

[00:09:49] which is pretty much every single Telugu movie that we have watched in the last decade and

[00:09:55] sort of play with that lore, with the Masala mass element but also give it the

[00:10:02] other POV of it of how the students through the POV of the students who come into contact with

[00:10:10] larger than life characters. So both of those universes, you know, sort of converging in this

[00:10:16] way, I really, really enjoyed it. I think it would have been a better experience if I had

[00:10:20] watched it at the cinema with people who are bigger fans and who would have cheered and

[00:10:25] made more of a surround sound experience. But yeah, it was great. I think it deserves

[00:10:32] the praise and the box office success that it's getting. Yeah, I think Amrita, you are completely

[00:10:41] you too, you're too like, you know, smart and intelligent. You didn't give me the hard sell

[00:10:45] on this movie. You were way too subtle. Like this movie is so much fun. Like it's really,

[00:10:50] really cool. I also didn't know that the three actors, the young actors are actually like

[00:10:57] pretty famous video game streamers or like readmakers, not actual actors, which

[00:11:02] I would suggest not watching their online content. So you like them more in the movie because

[00:11:09] the content is really weird. It's not I didn't get it. They're like calling women and then trying

[00:11:14] to raise them up or something. Apparently, this is a thing young people do. I don't understand

[00:11:17] how it works. I have no I have no risk. So yeah, it's it's just a fun time. It's like,

[00:11:25] like again, I've made this point about Fahad Fasil a few times, but I'll make it again.

[00:11:33] How does such a skinny small person have such a big cinematic stature? I don't understand. Like

[00:11:41] he's scary and he's tiny. Like I don't know how he does that, but he projects himself so well.

[00:11:48] And we see him so much with his shirt off, which is insane. And it's

[00:11:53] bouncing in a towel in this movie. Like I buy it like the cinematic hero, the stardom, I buy it.

[00:12:05] The one thought that I had is they should try to remake it with Akshay Kumar because he fits in

[00:12:12] this like comedy gangster vibe, I think. But I don't know if Akshay Kumar would be invested

[00:12:18] enough to bring it like to bring it to this because the comedy parts, I really want to see Akshay do

[00:12:27] it and really, you know, excel in it. But again, like the goodwill for Akshay has gone. Like it's

[00:12:35] long gone from me. I also don't want to see him again in a fake mustache. They don't like

[00:12:40] grow the damn mustache. Yeah, exactly weeks like do it. It's not that I think the reason

[00:12:46] why that physicality really worked in the context of this movie is because

[00:12:52] I genuinely thought that the twist was going to be that he was a fake gangster. Like everything

[00:12:59] was going to be fake. Like, you know, actually he's just some like move. And then when that switch

[00:13:07] flips, like the reason why I was being like really subtle or whatever, because I didn't want

[00:13:12] to give you any of the spoilers because this is a movie that you really should watch without

[00:13:18] knowing much about anything. Because there's like so many points throughout this movie where you are

[00:13:25] just like, well, no, like, you know, he's a cartoon, like you follow the journey of the boys

[00:13:30] because the boys begin by thinking that he's a fool. And then you kind of get scared

[00:13:36] as the movie goes on. And you just sort of like have that same journey with the boys, you know?

[00:13:43] Yeah, he's basically the butcher character from animals that we're just playing. And also love

[00:13:48] the haircut. Like he looks like a complete psychopath. Also in the haircut in the recap with the

[00:13:55] like the jacket and the jeans and everything. And he's just with that, you know, bottle opener

[00:14:00] that he looks like Riz Khan from afar. Yeah, it's so cool. Yeah, he really looks like a, you know,

[00:14:09] like a bad boy from London, like that's the look they gave him. And I think it looks really cool.

[00:14:13] I didn't know Farth Fassal could pull this off, but he does. It's really the only problem I had

[00:14:18] was I felt that movie got a bit long. Like once you get it, it's like stretches it out quite

[00:14:23] a bit. But yeah, I think it's really a fun movie. But I didn't notice like the lack of women. And I

[00:14:31] think you also Amrita pointed like an article out on Twitter not too long ago, which is a thing

[00:14:37] that is all like very boys and boys and men and stuff like that. Like there's not a female

[00:14:43] character in that whole movie that kind of like comes out at me. And it's weird. It's weird.

[00:14:49] And that's kind of true of like, you know, like this year in particular for the past like

[00:14:54] four or five months, Malayalam cinema has just had like one banger after another, right? Like

[00:15:01] even from like the old, older stars, you know, if you're thinking about and I really liked

[00:15:07] Malayakutey Wali Band. I'm like around a few people that like really enjoyed it. But

[00:15:13] even from that or Brahma Yugam with like Mamuti, like all of these like the roles for women have

[00:15:21] been like really, really limited across all of these, you know, they're all playing like supporting

[00:15:28] characters. And that's really sad because, you know, like, you can't tell me that Malayalam

[00:15:36] cinema doesn't have the writers to write insightful, fun films about women when they are just like,

[00:15:44] look at what's been happening over the last couple of months, you know, like it's like

[00:15:47] literally banger after banger every single week. So you can't tell me that the only

[00:15:53] imagination these men have is for like other men. That's just, that's just really sad.

[00:15:59] And I hope that you do watch Manuel Boyz as well,

[00:16:02] awesome because I think like you guys would actually really enjoy it. Like, again, and I don't want to

[00:16:09] want to undersell it or oversell it. But I think you guys will enjoy it. But there's no women.

[00:16:14] You have to unleash your Govinda when recommending your movies to us.

[00:16:21] You have to add a few pelvic thrusts here.

[00:16:33] Bring the Kadar Khan out. Second movie I also watched was Mudgawa Express. And again, I was like,

[00:16:40] really, like which one should I watch? And there were quite a few that I still haven't seen

[00:16:44] Lapata Ladies. It's there waiting for me and I was like, no, I'm gonna watch.

[00:16:48] I'm not one fan of Amir Khan. No wonder Amir's like, you know, like Bure then Chalren.

[00:16:55] This is how number one fans of gaming.

[00:17:08] Does he know that they are divorced? Like, has it registered somewhere?

[00:17:16] Salman know that they're divorced.

[00:17:20] But Salman is exercising 365 days of the year. So he has more time for these things.

[00:17:28] I love that. I love that too. So much. Yeah, so Mudgawa Express is the second movie I watched.

[00:17:36] You watched it in theater, should I? Yeah, I did. Oh, we never discussed it.

[00:17:41] I think we briefly discussed it. I think Sujai and I discussed it or something.

[00:17:45] Yeah, I watched it in Calcutta. Yeah, it's just interesting.

[00:17:49] Two movies in a row where you know, Nora Fatehi is amazing in it.

[00:17:53] First of all, I'd like to mention that. What was the other one?

[00:17:57] The crack cheat. I can't take it seriously.

[00:18:05] I have vowed to say the title in full.

[00:18:14] Asim, he can't even say the full title of the movie without cracking up.

[00:18:21] Guys, you don't know. You don't know because you haven't watched it. You do not know what crack

[00:18:27] Jeetekatu jee guys. Guys, this is going to get like in 10 years we're going to be talking

[00:18:33] about this movie still. If you watch it, amazing. What's the first movie he did?

[00:18:44] Fardin Khan? What was it called? Premagan. I get it now.

[00:18:51] Yeah, so Mudgawa Express, I think it's gotten quite a bit of positive buzz around it and

[00:18:58] you know, people have called it like the best comedy of the year.

[00:19:03] And I think that kind of like overhyped it for me a little bit because it's funny,

[00:19:10] but it's not that funny, like iconically funny, I think or unless I didn't get it,

[00:19:16] maybe the humor was very sold much local based that I didn't always get it.

[00:19:21] But I think it's a really fun time to spend with these guys and I think it's a movie that

[00:19:27] if the hype wasn't there, it would probably get you know, slept away, slept on it. Like it would

[00:19:34] just go under the radar and I do think it's good enough that people watch it. And I also

[00:19:39] am very excited about what Kunal Khemu does next. I do understand like people have written lines

[00:19:45] for Kunal Khemu's you know, child career but when I watch Mudgawa Express, I totally understand

[00:19:50] that this is the kid who was in Rajah Hindustan. This is the kid who was in

[00:19:55] my life when he says, you know,

[00:20:01] that's the kid who grew up to make this movie. It's that humor. Like I totally get it.

[00:20:06] Like, yeah, the humor of this movie is very signature. Like, I don't know how to say it,

[00:20:14] but it's funny. I got it. Yeah.

[00:20:18] Also just the fact that if like, and also they take it up a notch at moments where I

[00:20:23] don't expect them to take it up a notch and I think that's the sign of a good comedy because

[00:20:28] the premise is already funny. But when one of the characters falls into a vat of cocaine,

[00:20:34] like I have never seen that much cocaine in my life and this person just dive bombs in it.

[00:20:42] It is, it's like, yeah, it's so funny. It is so. And then he gets that fake macho

[00:20:49] Yeah, walks confidently. But he also has a like a list.

[00:20:59] It's such an amazing combo. And I think it's like things like that will live as

[00:21:03] and also just the fact of coming back to Nora Fahitahi is such a smart way to put her into

[00:21:07] this movie where every time she shows up, either people are on drugs or you know,

[00:21:12] it's like a dream sequence and they can legitimately justify putting a Nora Fahitahi

[00:21:18] item song in this movie. And it's such an and then like the moment where she kind of falls in love

[00:21:24] with one of the characters and then they put another item song. I was like, this is like layers

[00:21:29] upon layers of Nora Fahitahi is just amazing. You know, that's like understanding who your

[00:21:34] actor is and you know, using it to the 100% of the capacity of it in the movie. I think

[00:21:40] that was just like that's the sign of a smart director, especially for a comedy, right?

[00:21:45] It's yeah, I feel it was maybe missing one of those iconic lines or those

[00:21:51] and as up not my rewatch ability. But I think this is a really, really cool movie. I really

[00:21:57] really enjoy it. It does have like amazing like character names, you know, which is like,

[00:22:01] I think, you know, like country comedy, like I'm gonna remember that for the rest of my life.

[00:22:08] Like she's an icon or like, wait, what happened to Sujoy?

[00:22:16] The poor the host should stop recording for all go to studio setting and choose up to my

[00:22:21] or is this the better computer mobile? Sorry, I dropped off. No worries.

[00:22:32] Yeah, is it recording for you? I think so. Yeah. Is it recording for you?

[00:22:37] Yeah. Yeah, it's a slide record.

[00:22:43] Yeah, we were talking about Kanchan Komri. It's just a fun name to say though. Just like

[00:22:50] one of those names you like saying and what was the

[00:22:53] I think Mandolin by shall be okay. Sujoy kind of I think we're still I think we're still

[00:23:01] internet man. Streaming Sujoy is frozen though. Yeah, we can hear his will and laugh but we

[00:23:15] he's like completely frozen but we can hear his will and laugh.

[00:23:21] Sujoy, you still there? It wouldn't be a Khan Dan live stream if we didn't have some,

[00:23:28] you know, where technical that's right. We literally did by the way, we just recorded

[00:23:33] an Amarag Baranthini episode an hour long, not a single hitch. It was such a perfect podcast.

[00:23:40] I don't even need to edit anything. It'll just go the way it is. The moment we start

[00:23:45] live streaming 20 minutes in Sujoy's camera goes. I don't know why. Is it better now?

[00:23:52] Yeah. Okay. I don't know what happened. My internet went and came back again.

[00:23:59] Oh, Parish is like awesome. Do you ever edit? Yes, Parish I edit but not like a psychopath.

[00:24:08] That's how I edit like take out the f bombs. That's all I do basically otherwise it's just

[00:24:15] natural like Karina in Sun Sun Allah Sun, you know that's

[00:24:20] so there's a couple of questions that have come up during the live stream.

[00:24:23] One, well, Minha has like a couple of questions actually like one is like when we were talking

[00:24:31] about how there are no rules for women. Minha wants to know would you have preferred

[00:24:38] a flower pot girl or no female character at all? And also did we ever discuss kumlangi nights

[00:24:46] which I think we did right like that came out during the pandemic and I think that was like

[00:24:50] our gateway into discussing Malayalam films on the podcast. I think the problem is what

[00:24:56] happened is a lot of time with these movies we don't watch them at the same time and I think you

[00:25:00] watch them before and then we watch them when they come out on streaming if they do at least now

[00:25:05] they're dropping up dropping quite soon like Aaveesham was literally two weeks after

[00:25:10] the theatrical release that it came out already on streaming so I think either we

[00:25:13] plan it but we never know they don't announce it that well right that it's gonna come out

[00:25:18] on streaming or not so I think we've definitely discussed kumlangi nights but it might have been

[00:25:24] like a staggered discussion that we did so I'm not sure. Flower pot role Sujoy would you

[00:25:31] prefer like a flower pot role or no women in the movie? No women. I will take a flower pot role

[00:25:39] and just like pay a woman like get her cast like I like seeing women in the movies any role like

[00:25:45] maa banade you know like it's like it's fine. That's what Renjit used to say.

[00:25:54] I don't know I just it's just nicer no I don't know it just like feels like dirty after a while.

[00:25:59] I think in the 80s and 90s the actors knew how to get the maximum out of a flower pot role

[00:26:08] but I think like these days the flower pot roles are just like they're terrible

[00:26:13] and it's a combination of many factors right like it's just

[00:26:17] it's just a whole bunch of factors that come into the women not being able to

[00:26:25] not just act but even like deliver lines you know like Charmin Seagal had an

[00:26:31] author backed role that is it's like the opposite of a flower pot role and it is terrible

[00:26:37] like it was just absolutely terrible. So I don't know what the long-term fix is but in

[00:26:44] Malayalam cinema I mean last year we had Ja Ja Hai which was like an amazing film about women and

[00:26:51] like marriage and stuff in Malayalam cinema. The year before that we had the great Indian

[00:26:57] kitchen. Last year you know Kadal the movie with Jyotika and Mammootty like Jyotika was

[00:27:05] like an amazing role. I don't know if like both of you have seen that film but Jyotika had an amazing role

[00:27:12] so it's definitely I mean I think it's just a matter of willpower and not a matter of there not being

[00:27:21] enough subjects or scope for women in Malayalam cinema and I'm talking specifically of Malayalam

[00:27:26] cinema. I'm not talking about like Hindi cinema or whatever like that's a whole other story.

[00:27:31] Farzan pointed out Amir is remaking Ja Ja Hai.

[00:27:36] I think the great Indian kitchen is coming up with Sanya Malhotra as well.

[00:27:42] And yeah and oh Farzan also said Sujoyi he compared you to Joy Mukherjee in Love in Tokyo

[00:27:54] since we are talking about Farzan.

[00:27:58] Sure.

[00:28:04] I don't understand that reference you have to explain it to me who's Joy Mukherjee.

[00:28:07] Wait you haven't seen Love in Tokyo? No what is this?

[00:28:10] Japan Love in Tokyo.

[00:28:25] Come on Asim be my culture. I don't watch Asha Paarek movies man this is like way

[00:28:30] unless she's somebody's ma.

[00:28:34] He didn't stop with Chitra Har Datsu bhai.

[00:28:38] It's Asha Paarek and Joy Mukherjee it's like double dhamal.

[00:28:43] Any other questions you wanted to that you had in the chat room that we wanted to

[00:28:46] discuss? You said there were a few?

[00:28:52] No.

[00:28:53] No.

[00:28:55] Drama Panda there is a Namarak Varanthi episode coming out soon so stay posted.

[00:29:01] Probably in two weeks time yeah if not next week let's see how this goes.

[00:29:08] Also two trailers dropped that we wanted to have a chat about right?

[00:29:13] First one was Mr. and Mrs. Mahi.

[00:29:17] Okay we'll go with that.

[00:29:19] You got okay let's talk Chandu champion okay let's get into Chandu champion that's what we

[00:29:26] want to talk about. You have to do the acts and champion.

[00:29:32] Oh my god. So this

[00:29:36] I um I how do I say this nicely because I don't want to be like I don't know Karthik's

[00:29:44] over as much as maybe other people. Is he is this basically is this a cube light

[00:29:55] lalas chanda situation no no no no no no no I swear to god that's what I thought it was

[00:30:02] I'm so sorry okay I didn't pitch so much many I have. I had a thought the other day that you

[00:30:09] know like Siddhant Gupta who plays like the lead in Madagang express and was also in

[00:30:16] in Laila Majnu he was not in? No not in Laila Majnu was Abhinash Kumar

[00:30:24] Oh yeah. Vatagang was him. Yeah it's Siddhant Gupta. Like that's the guy who needs to be

[00:30:31] like having Karthik Aryan's career like if you want like an outsider who has

[00:30:36] like star power, then you want to hitch your wagon to that guy because he can like dance,

[00:30:42] he can he looks great. He's a great actor. He has that star power, you know, he has that sprinkle

[00:30:49] of stardust. Um, Karthik, look who he's doing his best. I can see that he's doing his best.

[00:30:57] Was I the only one that thought that? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm really like

[00:31:03] feeling self-cultured. That that that single tear scene, which is the like the show reel where he

[00:31:08] his drama is being like sort of showcased in the trailer, you will be paying ticket to watch this

[00:31:14] right and the one true emotion that I'm getting is what acting. Like it's so terrible.

[00:31:23] Karthik really, it's so, so terrible. I'm sorry, but this is like Zaid Khan can do better.

[00:31:30] Oh my God. No, I see the thing with the movie is like I'll go watch a Kabir Khan film. Like, you

[00:31:38] know, like I watched 83, I'll watch this. Like that's not a that's not an issue. Looks beautiful.

[00:31:43] It looks beautiful. Like spend money well. Yes. But then cast it out. Yeah. I don't

[00:31:54] get it. Like this is like so much. Yeah, I honestly, I don't get it. Like was people not willing to work

[00:32:03] for Kabir Khan after 83 because 83 was like, you know, like it was a pretty big flaw. And I know

[00:32:10] that Kabir Khan was like super defensive about it. And he was just saying, you know, like he

[00:32:15] met his wife or just like, well, you know, like the knives are up for us. Like that's not

[00:32:20] that's not true. It's actually like really great blah, blah, blah. But I don't get it. Like I don't

[00:32:25] get the casting. I don't get like why I don't get why this, but also like it continues this whole

[00:32:36] process of like people trying to sue the president of India, which no Indian would ever sue the

[00:32:45] president of India because the president of India is a very honorary title. Like everyone knows

[00:32:53] there would be the Prime Minister, but like, and I understand why say a film set in the current

[00:33:01] day would not want to make or say that dialogue. But this movie set in the 1960s when who was

[00:33:09] the Prime Minister? I think it was like Laal Bahadur Shastri or something that was like

[00:33:12] the Prime Minister at this time. Who like who has an issue with you saying Prime Minister?

[00:33:18] Like why wouldn't you just say that? Or is that like a, you know, like a censor board thing?

[00:33:25] Like I don't get it. Like so it's everything about it. It just doesn't feel like a Kabir Khan film.

[00:33:31] There was that reel that went around where this reporter was asking Muslim people what

[00:33:36] they thought about the elections in Modi. And the guy goes like first you come ask us and

[00:33:41] then we get beat up, you know, like what are you doing to Kabir Khan? But is this based on somebody,

[00:33:51] some real person? Like I don't know the story. It's based on Murali Khan Petkar who I have,

[00:33:56] I'm sorry, I haven't heard about him and his incredible story, but he won individual gold medal

[00:34:02] in the 1972 summer Paralympics in Germany and he set a world record in the 15th year.

[00:34:08] Yeah. Why? Because he was injured in when he was in the army.

[00:34:14] Okay. But there is no force come. Yeah, that's what the trailer says that, you know,

[00:34:19] like he was basically shot and then he's basically paralyzed.

[00:34:24] I found it very confusing this trailer. I didn't understand it because most of it is because

[00:34:29] of how Chandu champion is being shown by Karthikarian. So he gets made fun of in the village,

[00:34:40] then he becomes... That also I don't understand why are they making fun of him in the village?

[00:34:45] His haircut I thought. Yeah. Oh my God. Literally just sits there and he goes like,

[00:34:51] I would like to be a champion one day and everybody's like, look at him and I'm just

[00:34:55] like, why? Yeah. What is that about? Yeah. So then he becomes a wrestler, right? Then he joins the army

[00:35:02] because that's the best way to get into sports I suppose if you don't have any much resources.

[00:35:07] And then he gets shot and then he has the beard thing where he thinks... No, I think he becomes

[00:35:11] a boxer before everything happens and then after he gets wounded in the war and then he

[00:35:19] comes back as a swimmer or something and then he wins. As a swimmer? There's a swimming in it?

[00:35:26] Yeah, there's lots of swimming. There will be lots of sports guys. There will be lots of sports.

[00:35:33] And then he sues the president. Yeah, in the final wig. It's all happened.

[00:35:40] Yeah, apparently. Okay. Interesting. I had no clue. I had no clue.

[00:35:46] I don't know. Are you excited for this Sujoy? No.

[00:35:51] Did you watch 83? Yes, I did. Did you like it? It was all right. I could not get rid of

[00:35:58] like the trauma of watching Deepika in that wig.

[00:36:03] I think he put the same wig on Chandu Champion now. I think Karthik is wearing the same wig.

[00:36:07] That solves the mystery. There's so many terrible wigs in this trailer itself.

[00:36:14] I think Kabir Khan is incapable of making a bad movie. I mean, honestly guys, even tube light

[00:36:21] is not that bad. Like to be honest, like it's not that bad. It's not as bad as

[00:36:28] Kabir Swartan and Kabir Saheli. It's not as bad as Radhe. It's not as bad as a few.

[00:36:35] The kid is really good. The songs are amazing. There's a lot to tube light. I'm just saying.

[00:36:41] Salman is not good in it. I admit. Suhail is good though. Suhail is good.

[00:36:47] That is the true rock bottom moment.

[00:36:52] Sohail just got a hiccup. No, no, he's good in it. And by the way, did you know we talked about

[00:37:00] Amarag Baranthoni? I read this. Suhail Khan was trying to remake that movie with his brothers.

[00:37:05] Did you guys know this? Oh my God. Well, thankfully that didn't happen.

[00:37:10] This is how I know there is a God because it had to be a higher power that stopped that from happening.

[00:37:16] He probably was going to direct it himself then, right?

[00:37:20] But Salman would be a good Anthony though. Like the saying,

[00:37:27] so good. Oh my God.

[00:37:29] If you don't drink alcohol today, then that bird can kill you.

[00:37:37] Yeah, so Chandu champion we're not super excited about, right? We're not championing it.

[00:37:42] Yeah, we're not championing it. And then the second one was Mr. and Mrs. Mahi.

[00:37:46] What is up with all the sports lately? Like what is going on? Like

[00:37:50] is the only safe thing to tell stories about? Like is anybody like interested in sports?

[00:37:55] Isn't there also like a sports movie coming out with Anushka Sharma? Like it's been coming out

[00:38:01] for like the past like five years or something. Yeah, something Chakra Express or something like that?

[00:38:07] Yeah, I think that's it. Yeah, something Express. Yeah, I'm pissed off about that one.

[00:38:12] I didn't that's not the movie I wanted Anushka to come back on. But yeah,

[00:38:16] I think it's been shot already. That's basically just waiting for a release.

[00:38:19] Yeah. Yeah, Mr. and Mrs. Mahi. Did you watch the trailer? I mean they work as a pair.

[00:38:33] Like, you know, like Janvi and Rashma Rao, like I buy them as like a pair. But yeah,

[00:38:40] this does feel a lot like what's it called the one the Hitler movie?

[00:38:45] The Janvi. Bawal. Bawal. Like it does feel like a reader. I think like you mentioned that also

[00:38:52] as in that, you know, like it's just Janvi being married to terrible men. Yeah, what is up with

[00:38:57] like her just being married to Lemos? You know, I was thinking, I was really thinking about this

[00:39:02] because we were watching like older movies and things like that. And like I'm also part of

[00:39:07] BBC's Bollywood 90s thing that's going on. So there's a list of 90 song at the link

[00:39:13] to it. You can vote which is the best 90 song I'm going to be on the show when it drop,

[00:39:18] I think we're recording on the 31st of May. So because of that, I'm just going through

[00:39:22] watching a lot of 90 songs and just like looking at them. And you know what was cool in the 90s?

[00:39:27] Women were allowed to have fun. Like, you know, they were falling in love. They were like doing

[00:39:33] things. They were like, you know, like there was like a progression of like fun things happening.

[00:39:38] They were like, I was watching songs from a Dulan meh le jang le jangi with the

[00:39:45] Salman and Karisma. And she's just like traveling with her auntie and like she's

[00:39:50] falling in love with Salman. She's getting angry at him like all of these things are happening.

[00:39:54] Then she goes back home and she's got three mamas that are knowing this is like a nothing

[00:39:59] burger movie like this. This is not an important movie or whatever. But she gets to Karisma

[00:40:04] gets to do things. Right? It's one of my favorite movies of all time. So please don't diss on that

[00:40:10] movie. Here is just like you're already married and now you're in a terrible marriage and you have

[00:40:15] like a shitty house and now you have to force your force to pay cricket because your husband

[00:40:20] wants to be a cricket trainer. That's the story. Like what is this? Like, oh, you got

[00:40:24] married. You are a different cast. Now you all die. Oh, you married this asshole. And

[00:40:29] now you have to go to Auschwitz and get seizures. What are these movies like? And at least she

[00:40:34] gets to do those like the rest doesn't even get to do that. Like I don't understand what's going on

[00:40:39] lately with what's going on with Sujoy's camera tool. Like it's like black and white. What's

[00:40:45] happening guys? It's just like flashing. But anyway, uh, yeah, Sujoy, what did you think of

[00:40:52] Mr. and Miss Amai? Again, like, I don't know. I guess sports is the one sort of emotion

[00:41:00] that's easily, you know, translatable on cinema that can bring audiences together if it's done correctly

[00:41:08] or if it's done well enough. But I'm too tired to watch this kind of a movie to be honest.

[00:41:17] I'm not excited at all. That's when the trailer did not sell me and I see Karan Johar posted

[00:41:22] because obviously it's a Dharma production and they are using the Shava Shava Antara with

[00:41:28] Dekha Tanu Pelle Pelle Bharve. And I'm like, no, can I also say already guaranteed this movie will

[00:41:35] have a shit soundtrack. You know, that's that comes with the whole thing. Like we won't even get a

[00:41:41] decent song out of it. You know, nobody will be having fun, not the audiences, not the people

[00:41:46] in it. Like, and I miss fun. Yeah. Like that's why I don't want to watch so many other movies.

[00:41:50] I was like, I just want something fun. I want Amarak Bharatani. So talking about fun,

[00:41:55] like for Zan was saying that you know how Amir spoke, I think it was on what is it?

[00:42:04] Amir is just saying whatever he can say.

[00:42:17] So he's saying that he wants to make a movie with Salman and Shahrukh. Like

[00:42:22] it sounds like, you know, like what would be a reaction to that? Like do you guys think is a

[00:42:29] good idea? I mean, I mean, sure, Amir would want to do it. I think we've heard this a lot of times.

[00:42:36] I think we would all like them to do it. I think we've already even discussed what kind

[00:42:41] of project we would like them to do. But I think economically, the only way it can work

[00:42:48] is is Amir Khan is the head of whatever spy agency that they've launched in Yash Raj. And that's the

[00:42:55] only way he has to be Ali Abhatt's mentor in the next Ali Abhatt spy movie. And then he has to put

[00:43:02] everybody together as the Avengers and then we'll have a like a prequel to 20 years ago when

[00:43:07] Amir actually started the agency, and that's going to be the spin off. And then they come

[00:43:11] together. That's the only literally only way you can make this happen. And I'm watching

[00:43:16] your faces and you know this is a good idea. This is the way it has to be.

[00:43:21] Asim has a flow chart in the background. He's got like the connecting dots and all sorts of sticky

[00:43:27] notes. The funny thing is at various times over the years, each of the Khans has mentioned

[00:43:35] that they would like to do an adaptation of the Mahabharat. And I think they each

[00:43:42] admission themselves as Arjun, which now is a boy. And this point is not going to happen.

[00:43:47] Like it's just like, hey, it's just way past that date. But I think they just have to say these

[00:43:53] things every couple of years. Like you know my favorite fool is Rajma Chawal. Like you have to

[00:43:59] you know, like Amita was eating a steak in Amar Akbar Anthony by the way. Did you

[00:44:04] guys see that? Yes, this is a sizzling hot plate. Like how far we have come where is

[00:44:10] Karina Kapoor eating Dal Chawal? You're not eating Dal Chawal. Oh by the way, that was also

[00:44:17] like that was also like a sort of like cutting edge. Lena for Bombay in the 70s because that

[00:44:25] is known as a sizzler and it was basically invented in Bombay. You know, like it was

[00:44:31] like it was a it was something that this guy was traveling somewhere in like Eastern Europe or

[00:44:35] something and he was like, oh, like this is a concept that I can take back to Mumbai.

[00:44:41] This is how fajitas come. Like this is what they use. Yeah, but I don't think these were like

[00:44:46] based on fajitas. I think they were based on like something else. It was like some from like

[00:44:49] Central Asia or something. It was the first time I had seen somebody eat a steak. Like I'd

[00:44:54] never seen it before. I asked my mom, I was like, what are they eating mom? And then she

[00:44:58] made mistakes. So that's how I remember it really, really well. He wasn't happy when I threw the paprika

[00:45:06] in everybody's eye but it too deep. I think somebody on the chat said we were too harsh on

[00:45:17] Karthik. I agree. I agree. I feel I feel I feel bad about it as his acting is bad. Same.

[00:45:27] Yeah. No, no. The thing is like I think he has star power. Like I've said this before,

[00:45:33] he can pull an audience and I think in this day and age, this is what the best a star can do

[00:45:38] is bring an audience and I think Karthik is doing that and he's doing it better than

[00:45:42] Tiger Shroff. He's doing it better than Valindhavan too. So props to that. That I just I just I

[00:45:48] don't understand the pitch of the performance to be honest in the trailer at least. So let's

[00:45:51] see. To be nicer again. And I don't see like drama being his forte and he's made for like

[00:46:00] the thing is, they just need to make more movies. If they did four movies a year,

[00:46:04] then it would be fine. They do a comedy, they do a drama, they do whatever and back in the day,

[00:46:11] they were allowed to do that. Even Akshay Kumar has five movies coming out and it's going

[00:46:16] to be the same Akshay Kumar in all five movies pretty much. But at least he gets to do that.

[00:46:28] It's like that scene in four lines when he goes to get those ingredients for the bomb.

[00:46:37] But yeah, and the new actors don't get to do that anymore. They have one or two releases

[00:46:42] every three years. And I think that's one of the problems, you know, we would be able and I think

[00:46:46] I think Kreeti Sanan was talking about that in one of her interviews that she was being too

[00:46:51] picky with Rose and now she's going to do more work and I think it's paid literally off for her

[00:46:56] because she has a crew. She has a theory about the whole job. She has like a Mimi, you know,

[00:47:00] she's doing a lot of good work and that's what all of these actors need to do unfortunately.

[00:47:04] I think a lot of people look at Amir and they're just like, Oh, that's who I want to

[00:47:09] be or like, oh, that's who I want to be. But then we're in Amira like very particular

[00:47:15] kinds of actors, you know, and that's not a viable strategy for like 90% of the people out there.

[00:47:22] Because they're not Amir Khan.

[00:47:28] Like you can't like if you were a Karthik Aryan and you disappeared for five years and then

[00:47:32] you came back, nobody would want to watch your movies. That's not going to work out for you.

[00:47:37] Even like Varun Dhawan, like if he's supposedly copying Salman and Govinda,

[00:47:42] like that's what a lot of people say I don't necessarily agree. But they did five,

[00:47:46] six movies a year. Why is he not doing five, six movies a year? They weren't expensive movies.

[00:47:51] You know, the charisma one I was talking about is literally going on a holiday and

[00:47:54] shooting a movie. They have not done anything. You know, I think that's basically you.

[00:47:58] I think you basically touched upon like why this is because it's off the

[00:48:03] the economics of filmmaking in 2024 are just ridiculous. Like they should be like,

[00:48:11] where are the mid-sized movies? Where are the small movies? You know, you have like little

[00:48:15] indie movies that come out like once in a while, like your La Patale Ladies or something,

[00:48:19] but it doesn't have any of the stars in it. Like you lit like the star system has literally

[00:48:24] devolved to a point where you can't make those movies anymore. There's no rom-coms.

[00:48:29] There's no like just like cool movies where people are falling in love and having good

[00:48:33] stuff. Like a Mahesh Bhatt movie, even there's not around anymore. Right?

[00:48:37] It makes no sense. Like remember, like when Kapoor and Sons came out and it was just

[00:48:43] like the tiniest movie ever, but it had like all these like stars on it and it was fabulous.

[00:48:50] Like there's a reason why like people still talk about it, you know?

[00:48:55] Yeah.

[00:48:56] Sujoy, your camera is like flashing on and off like something fierce.

[00:49:00] I don't know what's happening guys.

[00:49:03] Sujoy's camera is disco diva now. That's what's going on.

[00:49:06] It's in device. I don't have a connecting cable even so I'm not sure what's happening.

[00:49:14] There's also like a time lag when you're talking as well.

[00:49:17] I'm seeing here from Irfan a random question when since you all are

[00:49:21] Khan Dan podcast, when will you discuss the two movies titled Khan Dan?

[00:49:26] One with Sunil Dutt and the other with Jitendra.

[00:49:29] I think whenever I want to see like

[00:49:34] I think that's when I'm thinking what is the last Sunil Dutt movie I have seen.

[00:49:41] I think I have never seen a Sunil Dutt movie.

[00:49:44] I don't think like I full Sunil like only Sunil Dutt.

[00:49:49] I've never seen it.

[00:49:50] Like he's been in with other people.

[00:49:53] I don't think I've ever seen a Sunil Dutt movie.

[00:49:55] There's like a movie that I think like maybe you and your wife might enjoy watching.

[00:50:00] It's like really interesting but he basically it's actually the original

[00:50:06] of that Karina Kapoor Akshay Kumar movie, Beva Fa.

[00:50:11] Like do you remember Beva Fa?

[00:50:12] Yeah, who can forget?

[00:50:13] Who can forget?

[00:50:16] To Beva Fa.

[00:50:17] Akshay Kumar's blonde.

[00:50:21] I have nightmares about that stuff.

[00:50:24] So the original of that is with Ashok Kumar and Mala Sinha and Sunil Dutt

[00:50:34] and Sunil Dutt plays like Akshay Kumar's role.

[00:50:38] And it is honestly like one of my favorite movies.

[00:50:43] And it's a very unexpected performance from Sunil Dutt

[00:50:46] because this is all the sexual tension and sexual threat

[00:50:50] that Sunil Dutt brings to that role which is really interesting.

[00:50:55] And I think like you might like it.

[00:50:58] What's the name of that one?

[00:51:00] I need to look it up but I'll let you know.

[00:51:03] Well, I've seen Perosan although yeah.

[00:51:06] Perosan I see but I don't think that's an only Sunil Dutt movie.

[00:51:10] Every time he's like part of other people.

[00:51:13] It's a Mahemood, it's a Sairabhan, it's a Kishore Kumar movie.

[00:51:18] And the other one is with Jitendra.

[00:51:20] Have you heard of this one?

[00:51:21] No.

[00:51:22] Khandan with Jitendra yeah.

[00:51:24] Oh, who's in it?

[00:51:25] Govinda, is it like this is one of those family movies

[00:51:28] where they're all in a house and then

[00:51:29] Kadir San slaps a woman at the end of it.

[00:51:35] I should have done it much earlier.

[00:51:36] I don't know.

[00:51:38] You should have slapped her 20 years ago.

[00:51:40] You know that kind of movie.

[00:51:42] Yeah, I think that it is.

[00:51:44] I think it's one of those basically.

[00:51:46] So yeah, it's shot in Hyderabad.

[00:51:48] Yeah, basically I think that's what it is.

[00:51:52] Okay.

[00:51:54] Jitendra is funny man.

[00:51:59] Perosan in Waht, Mother India.

[00:52:01] I've never seen Mother India to be honest.

[00:52:03] I have not seen it.

[00:52:05] This is not the kind of...

[00:52:06] What are these confessions?

[00:52:09] Like what?

[00:52:11] Next week is going to be like Shole.

[00:52:13] I have heard of it but I have never actually sat through it.

[00:52:16] I don't know.

[00:52:16] Guys, I told you like the way my thing worked is like it's

[00:52:20] everything starts with Amitabh.

[00:52:21] That's my baseline.

[00:52:23] Like, I've seen Gone Back and like remember when I saw Dilip Kumar movie?

[00:52:28] How amazing that was for me.

[00:52:29] I was like, wow.

[00:52:31] Mother Mathi is quite good.

[00:52:33] You know.

[00:52:33] I don't know guys.

[00:52:34] That's what I'm talking about.

[00:52:36] Next, Mughal Azam.

[00:52:37] By the way, it's not bad.

[00:52:41] Guys, have you seen this movie called Pakis?

[00:52:43] I...

[00:52:45] Have you ever had a Smogal Azam?

[00:52:47] Like I have a thing.

[00:52:48] Yeah, you have.

[00:52:49] But you're okay.

[00:52:50] Amitabh is like doubting everything else.

[00:52:53] I...

[00:52:54] Yeah, I don't know.

[00:52:56] Oh God.

[00:52:59] I had one more thing that people wanted to talk about.

[00:53:01] Yes, the Saffarosh too knew somebody was asking on Patreon.

[00:53:06] Because there was a whole celebration.

[00:53:08] Actually, I didn't reply on Patreon.

[00:53:10] I don't remember.

[00:53:11] It was maybe it was Fadhan actually that mentioned it.

[00:53:16] That we...

[00:53:19] There was a celebration of Saffarosh,

[00:53:21] I think 25 years or something like that.

[00:53:23] And he is apparently working on Saffarosh too.

[00:53:26] And he loved the idea and he fell in love within two minutes of his life.

[00:53:30] Did you see that news, Amitabh?

[00:53:31] I saw Pulkit Kocher at the event where they announced Saffarosh too.

[00:53:39] And he was just really jazzed because he was sitting like basically right in front of Naseer

[00:53:44] Dinshah and Amir.

[00:53:46] But I think that was pretty much the only thing that I heard about.

[00:53:51] I think when we reviewed Saffarosh, I made that point that this is not like necessarily

[00:53:55] my favorite movie of this type.

[00:53:57] And I also feel it kind of like the template for a lot of anti-Pakistan,

[00:54:03] Pakistan is bad movies later on.

[00:54:05] So I always found Saffarosh to be an issue for me.

[00:54:10] But Saffarosh is really amazing movie.

[00:54:12] So it's at least you know...

[00:54:14] Saffarosh.

[00:54:14] Saffarosh, what did I say?

[00:54:16] Saffarosh, I said no.

[00:54:17] Saffarosh.

[00:54:18] Saffarosh, I know how to pronounce this.

[00:54:20] Saffarosh.

[00:54:21] I do think it's a really, really good movie though.

[00:54:23] So at least the anti-Pakistanness is brought in a decent way.

[00:54:28] And you know, it's not like all the other movies we've seen basically.

[00:54:32] So I do...

[00:54:33] I kind of find it like...

[00:54:34] I find issues with it.

[00:54:35] So maybe that's why my excitement for a possible Saffarosh Part 2 is maybe tempered.

[00:54:46] And also I just worry about Amir Khan being in this state where he really wants to please people.

[00:54:53] Which is worrying for me.

[00:54:55] Just like why?

[00:54:57] So yeah.

[00:54:58] So are you excited for Saffarosh too?

[00:55:00] Sorry.

[00:55:01] I haven't really heard much about it.

[00:55:03] So I'm not sure.

[00:55:04] Like, it will depend on the story and who are involved.

[00:55:07] If it's somebody like if...

[00:55:12] The writer of Race 4 is writing Saffarosh too then.

[00:55:18] Saffaroshar.

[00:55:19] The S is a 2.

[00:55:23] Yeah, oh my god.

[00:55:26] Speaking of Nasir, like Nasiruddin Shah,

[00:55:31] Manthan has been remastered in 4K and it's doing the Rounson Khan Film Festival and then it will be...

[00:55:38] Asim has no idea.

[00:55:41] He's like, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

[00:55:44] I saw Sucharita like you know post her reel that she did an interview for Manthan and I was like,

[00:55:50] who?

[00:55:51] No picture.

[00:55:55] What is Manthan about?

[00:55:57] Like sorry, what is it about?

[00:55:58] I think it's about Operation Flood, right?

[00:56:02] It's about a milk collective.

[00:56:07] Yeah, that's exactly the thing that I would watch.

[00:56:10] Amitabh Banawahu and then Milk Collective, in the 80s.

[00:56:14] Like what do you guys think?

[00:56:17] Literally I'm dressed as Amitabh in Anthony and Dawn and then I'll be a milk collector like Nasiruddin Shah.

[00:56:24] What is...

[00:56:26] What did you guys watch these movies?

[00:56:28] It was a Doordarshan.

[00:56:30] Doordarshan.

[00:56:30] Oh okay, so that's like I didn't have Doordarshan.

[00:56:34] Look Osama says same Asim Bhai, I haven't watched any Amitabh movies.

[00:56:40] Everything starts with the Khans for me.

[00:56:43] See, I get you Osama, I get you.

[00:56:47] The moment you asked me what is Manthan, I was like, I'm really looking forward to telling you what it is.

[00:56:56] I think this sounds exactly the kind of movies I make fun of.

[00:57:00] I've said so many times like Bicycle Village Milk Man, this is exactly what...

[00:57:06] Are they sad?

[00:57:07] Are they not getting money for the milk?

[00:57:11] Are cows dying?

[00:57:16] Is there no solution at the end?

[00:57:20] It's actually an uplifting tale of labor coming together.

[00:57:26] And also the beauty of this movie is it was completely crowdfunded by farmers who contributed like 2 rupees each to make this movie.

[00:57:34] Because it was their story.

[00:57:36] How are things for the farmers now?

[00:57:38] How are things for the farmers going?

[00:57:41] Well actually because they now have like...

[00:57:44] So this is the story, have you heard of Amul?

[00:57:46] Like the Amul cheese Amul or thing.

[00:57:48] So this is that story basically.

[00:57:50] Yeah I know about the Kalei.

[00:57:51] I see farmers in general like that story.

[00:57:54] Nothings are going for them in general.

[00:57:56] Having you watch Jawad then you should know how things are going for farmers in general.

[00:58:03] Also the Sunil that movie that I was telling you about is called Gummala.

[00:58:07] I've heard of that.

[00:58:09] No you are thinking of the Shri Devi's...

[00:58:14] I've heard of the other one too.

[00:58:15] Oh she gets arrested in Hong Kong?

[00:58:17] Yeah yeah yeah classic classic.

[00:58:21] Why are we talking about one thing?

[00:58:23] It's coming out to...

[00:58:24] Ah okay.

[00:58:25] And it's going to be released in cinemas.

[00:58:28] Yeah it's not a problem we're gonna release here.

[00:58:32] Maybe at the BFI or something.

[00:58:36] What else are we saying in the chat room that's interesting?

[00:58:40] Sujoyloved Sonali in Johal Dilka in Sarfarosh.

[00:58:43] Yes I did.

[00:58:44] I honestly every time I see Sonali I think of you.

[00:58:48] Yeah.

[00:58:49] I always.

[00:58:52] Paresh agrees with me.

[00:58:53] Sarfarosh is mid if they do part two the Jingo is stick tilt will be heavy.

[00:58:57] I agree that's why.

[00:58:59] But also how are they gonna do part two like Naseer then Shah died at the end of Sarfarosh.

[00:59:04] Like spoilers.

[00:59:04] Some new villain.

[00:59:05] Some new villain.

[00:59:07] That goat that he kills her brother takes Badla.

[00:59:12] With one ear.

[00:59:13] Yeah.

[00:59:16] And I guess like Amir Khan is now the commissioner of police because he started out as like as

[00:59:20] a commissioner.

[00:59:21] Yeah.

[00:59:21] It can be a crossover of Sarfarosh and the goat life.

[00:59:25] Both together.

[00:59:26] How do you watch goat life by the way?

[00:59:28] Have you guys watched?

[00:59:29] It's not out on streaming I would watch it.

[00:59:31] Yeah.

[00:59:31] Okay.

[00:59:34] I'm very funny.

[00:59:38] What else is there?

[00:59:42] Sorry for the camera guys.

[00:59:44] I really can't figure it out because it's working in the live stream on Riverside but

[00:59:49] I don't know what's happening in the live stream itself.

[00:59:51] Like.

[00:59:51] Basically your choice was no audio from me or this camera of Sujoy.

[00:59:56] So it was one or the other.

[00:59:57] So we had to make a decision.

[00:59:59] My dream remake casting would just be the Khan's opposite Kajol, Madri and Juhi.

[01:00:07] But pigs will fly before that happens.

[01:00:10] Yes they will fly.

[01:00:12] China is working on it.

[01:00:13] They are flying very soon.

[01:00:17] Yeah.

[01:00:19] I think that's what we all want right?

[01:00:20] Like they're releasing a new movie with Salman Sikander.

[01:00:27] I think it's Murugadavaz that's directing it.

[01:00:29] And it's what's her name Radhika?

[01:00:34] Yeah Radhika Mandana right?

[01:00:36] Mandani.

[01:00:37] Is she Mandana I think is how you answer.

[01:00:41] Okay.

[01:00:41] She's starring opposite Salman which is insane.

[01:00:44] Is she?

[01:00:45] I think so which sounds insane to me so they do not want to.

[01:00:50] Okay can I just say like there's like something afoot with Salman.

[01:00:55] Like something is going on.

[01:00:56] I don't know what it is but with that whole remember that whole firing and that

[01:01:01] Lawrence Vishnoi guy that was like trying to kill him and murder him or whatever.

[01:01:05] And then Salman has had like a whole stream of politicians come in and out of his house.

[01:01:13] And then like all of a sudden like a whole bunch of Lawrence Vishnoi's henchmen

[01:01:18] got like encountered and like all that kind of stuff happened.

[01:01:22] I can sense the fine hand of Salim Khan behind the scenes but I don't know what is happening.

[01:01:29] But there's something happening.

[01:01:32] And it's resulting in bad choices in movies.

[01:01:35] I mean that's been happening for a long time I don't think that's the result

[01:01:40] of anything that's happened in the last couple of years.

[01:01:43] I think the clothes he's been wearing also is kind of sending us a distress signal like

[01:01:49] help me like something is going on here.

[01:01:51] Yeah he looks like a depressed lesbian like you know that's his aesthetic now like I don't get it.

[01:01:57] Man I was watching again those 90 songs there were 2000 songs he looked so good like it like

[01:02:03] he was dressed so well in those movies like it's crazy like just a pant that fits a shirt

[01:02:11] that's his you know and now he's wearing like you know I don't know what he's wearing what

[01:02:16] he's doing.

[01:02:22] It feels like a challenge at this moment right like that's how far we are like

[01:02:27] he's wearing like you know but he had Dragon Ball on his pants the other day like who's pant

[01:02:37] Whoever was in the chat like thinking that we were too harsh to Karthik Aryan I want you to

[01:02:42] know like this how we talked about like the trifecta people that are podcast is literally named after

[01:02:51] This is Khandan. Khandan is toxic too nah it's like too moti ho gayi hai you know like

[01:02:58] this is also khandan. That's what Asim says the moment he sees me

[01:03:05] Moti ho gayi hai I feminize you and fat shame you.

[01:03:15] Nah yaar I'm a good friend I'm a good friend I say good things about my friends.

[01:03:21] Asim will do both he'll show up with like a katori full of like peas soaked like parathik

[01:03:28] and then he'll be like

[01:03:28] Moti ho gayi hai.

[01:03:38] What else is it I think that's it anything else in the

[01:03:43] In the chat

[01:03:45] Okay Asim thought the Surfero's goat live joke was very funny but no one reacted with me in fact

[01:03:51] Akash I have to say this to you because I said this literally in the

[01:03:56] To Amrita and to my own daughter literally in the last weeks my jokes had to make me laugh like I

[01:04:03] Cannot like to the littlest give a damn about anybody else

[01:04:08] I really if I

[01:04:11] When joke said I was like, I'm so funny

[01:04:18] You cannot believe how much I don't give a shit about people not finding myself

[01:04:22] So we are like getting our website ready to go and like one of the teas is going to be like

[01:04:29] Like we're going to have merch obviously. Oh, we're refreshing all our merch by the way

[01:04:33] so

[01:05:08] Like I literally sent one to yami knee like two days ago

[01:05:14] Uh

[01:05:15] Yeah

[01:05:16] Farzan wrote I love asim's jokes because i'm a dad too

[01:05:20] But he wrote because with bc

[01:05:22] And I first read it as I love asim's jokes benchard. I'm a dad too

[01:05:34] I get that I get the the feeling

[01:05:39] Whatever you are what else?

[01:05:40] Uh if an says could you all drop your playlist? I need some new songs to listen to we'll I'll do a patreon

[01:05:46] Special playlist very very soon. I promise that

[01:05:49] What are you listening to just like just like because I I I struggle now like I I don't have like, you know

[01:05:55] paresh is in the chat

[01:05:56] So paresh probably is the best person to talk about music. Maybe he can put put some song recommendations in the chat

[01:06:03] Uh, check out chill good good songs there always

[01:06:06] But what are you guys listening to because i'm still stuck on lal sing ched does sound like to be honest

[01:06:10] I think

[01:06:11] To be honest

[01:06:12] Chum chum keela

[01:06:13] Chum keela

[01:06:15] Didn't work for me in the long run. I really I mean like

[01:06:19] I liked it when I was watching the movie and I think naram kaalja is probably the best because of the visuals also but

[01:06:26] It's an it's also a r. Rahman is shat kamil soundtrack and it's not hitting for me at that level

[01:06:34] I'm just saying I'm just saying

[01:06:36] uh

[01:06:37] So I found a pakistani artist called adnan bhol have you heard of him? No, no

[01:06:45] Uh, there's a song called perde skatinda

[01:06:49] Uh, and like I like I was on a road trip the other day with like a couple of my other friends and they were playing it

[01:06:56] And I really liked that sound

[01:06:59] um, yeah

[01:07:01] Otherwise i'm just listening to like

[01:07:04] Like imran hashmi songs from like 15 years ago. Like it was a great song man

[01:07:09] Yeah, I think my most played up last month from my youtube data is lal pili akiha from tehri baat hum aisa huja ji

[01:07:22] Yeah, i'm checking what I what I've been listening to there's a few songs that I um, there was a few pakistani songs that I did like

[01:07:30] I also just to say i've been quite a bit disappointed with the last coke studio too. I had such high hopes

[01:07:37] and

[01:07:39] I think literally only the last song has kind of worked for me, but it's very slow

[01:07:44] Uh, but the rest the first few ones they've not really hit for me to be honest

[01:07:50] I don't know. Have you guys listened to them? No

[01:07:53] which songs?

[01:07:54] uh

[01:07:55] Coke studio coke studio coke studio

[01:07:57] I listened to like a few but I haven't had a chance to listen to all of them and i'll be meaning to

[01:08:02] You're saying it's not that great. It's not it's not working for me to be honest

[01:08:07] Yeah, i'm a bit disappointed. Um, yeah, I've been listening to a lot of um, naina from the crew. I still like that song a lot

[01:08:15] uh

[01:08:16] I really liked the jonita gandhi's uh love like that with uh

[01:08:21] ali city

[01:08:22] Uh, which I that that song I really like

[01:08:25] um

[01:08:26] And this is weird old ass song that I suddenly discovered. I mean not discovered but I've been just like it came on my playlist and I was uh

[01:08:34] It's wait i'm just trying to find it. It's um from uh

[01:08:41] Once upon a time, I think

[01:08:44] Yeah from javid basheer. I don't know how it suddenly came back but it's just like like a very like

[01:08:51] Loud kawali like he's like really like convincing me to this is

[01:08:58] I was like very like that

[01:09:04] Like he's just screaming

[01:09:07] So that's been like my mind at the moment like you know, uh that i've been enjoying too

[01:09:12] And also like uh, yeah, he's a good friend from um, what is it? The shinier shiny

[01:09:20] Uh, who's your right?

[01:09:24] From

[01:09:27] Camo jay. Yeah, yeah

[01:09:30] Yeah

[01:09:32] I think

[01:09:33] The last one that I would recommend people to go back and listen to is a pretty poor by kk

[01:09:40] Because gilly got a

[01:09:42] Re-release

[01:09:44] Last couple of months and that song popped up and I've been having really good time

[01:09:48] Those of you who really like gilly. I really recommend watching the telegu

[01:09:54] Version which is like okra, which is with uh, mahesh babu and I think like okra was like actually

[01:10:03] Yeah, like that was like the the peak mahesh babu years as like I like to call them

[01:10:07] You know like he was just making the original of wanted and you know like this one

[01:10:13] I don't I don't I can't remember if this movie was also made

[01:10:18] in hindi

[01:10:20] But uh, yeah, it's I think it's like a good movie. I think it's on prime if you want to watch it

[01:10:25] Did you see that noteworthy they're like over really trying to hide uh, mahesh babu's look in uh, raja mauli's new movie

[01:10:34] See that

[01:10:37] Like what's the look long hair and a beard is that the look that you're hiding what can it be?

[01:10:46] Everybody wants to be mohla jatya everybody wants to be mohla jatya

[01:10:50] Is that movie ever gonna come on streaming because I really want to watch it again

[01:10:55] I'm considering booking a ticket to pakistan and asking the director myself like

[01:11:03] It's insane dropping the ball like that. I do not understand it. What I don't know understand. Why is there no pirated copy either? Yeah

[01:11:13] There's no pirated copy

[01:11:15] No, what the heck on pakistani is doing at least like pirated your own stuff

[01:11:21] Like I don't know how suddenly security in pakistan got so tight

[01:11:26] It's up chalta. I was printing it. Like whatever you like how like can we not employ that?

[01:11:32] Protocol to other things and like the movie release instead like

[01:11:36] And you know like if no streamer wants it like you can put it up on youtube and like charge people like you know

[01:11:41] $5 or whatever to buy it like people will do it. I'll do it

[01:11:45] Like I'll spend my money to watch that film

[01:11:48] It's crazy like it's like literally one of the best movies of like the past few years

[01:11:52] I could think about that movie so many times and it's not out people have not seen it

[01:11:58] And there's no even avenue on when they will see it. It's crazy to me

[01:12:03] Man, you guys don't know how fawad and mahera are sexy with a blanket like it's insane guys

[01:12:09] You don't know you don't know he wraps around and then picks her up and says guys

[01:12:17] Talking about like fawad and mahera like what happened to that

[01:12:21] Project that they were going to do together. Do you remember like they were making a series?

[01:12:25] Yeah, I don't know. Yeah

[01:12:28] Yeah, there's also the one on z5 was coming out assemble that season one. I don't know where that is either

[01:12:34] No clue. Yeah, no clue

[01:12:36] Pakistan

[01:12:47] Like mahera got married and then everyone was like, you know what?

[01:12:56] Okadoo and ghillie was remade in hindi as tevar with arjun kapoor

[01:13:01] I've seen

[01:13:04] I've not seen mother india

[01:13:11] It's got that song right the one that's also know he's like something something someone in it

[01:13:16] Nene, um, mahera superman salman ka fan. Yeah, see that's why yeah, maybe you

[01:13:24] But you really hate mother in there like

[01:13:27] That's why I'm watching this

[01:13:30] Yeah, I know it's kind of like a milk collective movie. I got somebody said there is a copy on youtube for molaja

[01:13:37] Is there really?

[01:13:39] No, no, you're thinking of the old

[01:13:50] It's still fun watch

[01:13:52] uh

[01:13:54] One of the one of the things that I really

[01:13:58] Like I really enjoyed by the way of

[01:14:01] That's come out of here. I'm under and I was sending these clips to uh, both the boys because

[01:14:07] It's that guy that plays tajra

[01:14:10] I was gonna send you one today on in can he's like you're malayian malayian's girl has gone crazy

[01:14:20] That's not a good impression

[01:14:23] That's how he sounds like to me

[01:14:26] Somebody told him that you know like you need to be like proactive and like put yourself out there

[01:14:32] Like you know get your name out blah blah blah

[01:14:35] But uh the guy that plays tajra. I spoke I was a friend together

[01:14:41] One day and he is like, you know,

[01:14:44] I was like

[01:14:54] And then there was like the title of that video was like, you know, I look just like

[01:15:03] Then the next day it was I looked like fawad and barun dhawan or something like who who are

[01:15:09] Vicky kosher and

[01:15:12] Like totally random things

[01:15:14] He's giving me a lot of vivek obu rai vides now like I swear to god. He's like oh heat heat ledger

[01:15:29] Oh

[01:15:31] We also wanted to talk about uh that there was that um, I think sujoy wanted to say something about uh

[01:15:37] Celebrities hiring people to hype to be hyped for them

[01:15:42] Right there was this article that came out now like about uh, how this fake crowds basically um for these events

[01:15:49] I clearly feel that they were talking about film companion

[01:15:53] Uh things right or not. Did I miss treat all the audiences? Oh, yeah

[01:15:59] Yeah, I felt like that they're bought audiences and then the vibes are off

[01:16:04] Because they're not real people

[01:16:07] Um

[01:16:08] Didn't we have like this other like a while back a discussion about this about paid tickets like Shah Rukh is prepaid corporate bookings corporate bookings things

[01:16:18] Um, it's I don't know. I just feel part part and parcel of making

[01:16:23] Movies viable now. I don't know. I mean that's how you get audiences for these talk shows and stuff

[01:16:28] I mean like you like basically sell tickets or like, you know, like your talk shows even reality tv

[01:16:34] Like indian idol and everything all the audiences are like

[01:16:38] Bought audiences. They are paid by the hour to attend, you know

[01:16:42] Um so that the studio looks full and they they get the applause recording and stuff like that

[01:16:50] I don't have a problem with it because like even oscars have seat fillers

[01:16:55] Like I don't know. I don't

[01:16:58] I don't get bothered by these kind of things to be honest. It's not it's not a big bugger bear for me

[01:17:04] It was just like an interesting

[01:17:06] I think justin wrote even actually like I think what justin wrote was about the whole

[01:17:12] Stars being too

[01:17:14] Like because of their entourage and everything their their fees are like super hyper inflated

[01:17:20] And so like somebody I think medan flopped because of how much aj devgan was charging and everything

[01:17:29] Upfront it was almost like a hundred crores plus just to

[01:17:34] Feed into aj's entourage and everybody else. I guess that's what justin wrote

[01:17:40] Yeah, and I there's also a lot of news going around lately

[01:17:43] Like there was a blind item about like an action a star

[01:17:47] That's not getting accepted in rose and then somebody said that I think that was probably then tiger shroff

[01:17:52] There was a piece that he has had to lower his fees because he's had three flops one after the other

[01:17:58] um

[01:17:59] I think there was also a blind item about a lot of people rehauling their strategy of uh, you know, uh

[01:18:06] Fees up front and stuff like that

[01:18:08] Um

[01:18:09] I mean in the in the modern context the only job of a star is to get butts in seats

[01:18:15] You know like if you can't deliver that then yeah, sorry, you just can't like charge like that, you know

[01:18:23] Oh, uh, for example saying that um people are saying that uh, junez looks like uh, Henry cavill and actually I do see that

[01:18:32] Like I do see that but I am like surprised that junez is not getting all the nepo baby outrage that all the like

[01:18:39] You know like shanaya and ananya and all were getting because junez is now on I think on his third production or something

[01:18:46] And he's like, you know, like he hasn't had like one release yet

[01:18:50] Um, but apparently that's fine. I feel it's now

[01:18:55] This nepotism tags is only for women now. It feels like to me

[01:18:59] It doesn't feel like it's for men because like I said the other day like the hype around

[01:19:04] Ibrahim Ali Khan wearing a shirt or not a shirt on instagram compared to

[01:19:09] Everything charmeen segal was even getting you know, like yeah, I don't know. It just feels like it's it's just something to talk about about

[01:19:18] That bus, you know, like the misogyny bus is never late

[01:19:22] You know, they just find like new routes to traverse. Yeah, basically what happens? Yeah, sorry kangana

[01:19:28] Yeah

[01:19:34] Uh, did you guys watch the uh, there was a real uh in which this woman was behave

[01:19:38] I was like doing like kangana talking about hila mandi. Yes

[01:19:42] I don't know if I don't know if you guys have watched it or not, but if you haven't you should watch it

[01:19:46] It's like hilarious. Uh, it's funny. It's funny

[01:19:49] Uh, because she's a crazy person kangana, you know what I mean? And she's going out in politics

[01:19:54] So which is great, you know

[01:19:56] We need more of those we knew it more of that, you know decisive people
