[00:00:50] of Khandaan Podcast. My name is Asim Burney, and I'm joined with my lovely co-host Amritha and Sujoy.

[00:00:55] Hey, Amritha. Hey, Sujoy. Hey, everybody. Hello. We have our top friend, best friend, lovely friend,

[00:01:01] baby friend, Papu Charu, Yamini joining us. We were fearful that another podcast team was taking

[00:01:10] Yamini away from us. So we had to rope her back in. There's two reasons why Yamini is here. One,

[00:01:16] she felt, you know, she was getting culturally stereotyped by the movies she had been picked

[00:01:21] upon. And secondly, Sujoy owes her 10 pounds and he's not giving it. So Yamini has come on the show

[00:01:30] to recover that 10 pounds. Yamini, you're on mute. I still will get these 10 pounds. It's not like

[00:01:37] I'm telling you. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, it's just like,

[00:01:44] you know, it's going to be a Pathan. It's going to be a Pathan. It's going to be a DLR.

[00:01:52] It's fine. No, no, Yamini, you're going to have to be like Pathan flying from a jet plane into his house

[00:01:58] singh kakakak kiran just for 10 pounds, you know.

[00:02:05] This is that classic Asim pulling Sujoy's leg that listeners like so much, you know.

[00:02:16] Yeah.

[00:02:18] This is true bromance.

[00:02:22] Exactly. Episode 251, we are reviewing Josh on special request from Yamini.

[00:02:28] Yamini, Yamini. Why are we watching Josh?

[00:02:31] So the thing is, right, Josh is such a very special film for my childhood. I feel like everyone has like

[00:02:37] these films are very special, like you know that you watched for no particular reason a lot.

[00:02:44] For me, it was just because like, because back then we used to live in Africa, like we only used to get

[00:02:49] four channels and only before your movies was the movie channel. And before your movies used to play

[00:02:54] a bunch of movies in like rotation. And when I say rotation, I don't even mean like once a month.

[00:03:01] No, like twice a week, Josh would play. And I would watch it twice a week. And I also remember watching it like,

[00:03:10] so till I was 11, I watched Josh probably at least three, four times a month.

[00:03:16] And then after that, I haven't seen it in completion. So it's been 18 years.

[00:03:21] So how much is your personality? How much is Josh responsible for the personality you have?

[00:03:30] You know, I wish I could say a lot more.

[00:03:35] But the crucial question is, are you team Bichu or team Eagles?

[00:03:40] I think the thing is, I have a really cute anecdote, okay, about Josh. So one of my old co-workers,

[00:03:47] like he grew up in Srinagar. And he was like, you know, when Josh had come out, right, we were like,

[00:03:52] our colony, like all the kids were like Eagle Gang, okay. And the kids that played cricket, they're Bichu Gang.

[00:03:59] Then when they went to play cricket, those kids are like, nah, hum Eagle Gang, you're Bichu Gang.

[00:04:05] And then I was like, that makes sense.

[00:04:18] By the way, for the record, I am team Bichu, but not the Bichu from Josh, the one from Bobby Deol and Rani Mukherjee.

[00:04:27] I also have a story, like I went to engineering college in Selchere. I started my first semester in 2001.

[00:04:34] This movie came out in 2000. By the time I entered engineering, this movie was already a big phenomenon.

[00:04:40] And the whole gang thing was already, you know, had its cultural impact.

[00:04:45] And in the fourth hostel, they on the top floor wing where the seniors used to live,

[00:04:52] the east wing was team Bichu, the west wing was all team Eagle.

[00:04:58] I don't know, like if you took a room on the west wing, you are automatically into team Bichu.

[00:05:04] And there was a proper rivalry between the two, like no reason.

[00:05:09] Same class, same department, not so chet karrein.

[00:05:12] But in the night, they were actually having a rivalry for no reason,

[00:05:16] just because of the placement of your room. It's nuts.

[00:05:19] Was it West Wing because West Side Story?

[00:05:22] I don't know.

[00:05:23] Just that.

[00:05:24] Itana bhi nahi soosh te engineering log.

[00:05:31] This, like I'm fascinated by the stories about Josh, like because this movie seemed to have a big impact on all of you guys.

[00:05:40] Like Amrita, was this a big thing for you too?

[00:05:42] Like this, I, this movie just passed me by.

[00:05:45] This is not a big thing for me at all.

[00:05:48] Like I'm just so surprised.

[00:05:49] Amrita, was this a big thing for you, Josh?

[00:05:52] Yeah, I mean, like when it came out, I don't think it was a big thing once it came out.

[00:05:57] But before it came out, it was like a huge deal, right?

[00:06:00] Because Shah Rukh and Aishwarya were coming as brother and sister.

[00:06:05] Mansoor Ali Khan.

[00:06:06] Not just brother and sister, twins.

[00:06:08] Twins, yeah.

[00:06:09] And then, you know, like there was Shah Rukh dressed as George Michael in all the songs.

[00:06:18] There was, Mansoor Ali Khan was the director and like he had ditched Amr for Shah Rukh.

[00:06:25] It was like a huge scandal, like when that happened.

[00:06:30] And so like, and the songs, like the, I remember when the promos first released, right?

[00:06:36] And it was really funny because of course, everybody was like, why?

[00:06:41] Why are Shah Rukh and Aishwarya playing brother and sister when they have like so much chemistry

[00:06:46] between the two of them?

[00:06:48] And then you see like, Hi Mera Dil with like Aishwarya and Chandruchud.

[00:06:52] And she is basically acting opposite a mannequin.

[00:06:56] Like that would be the same exact level of chemistry that she would have.

[00:07:00] And it was a huge deal.

[00:07:03] Like everybody was talking about this film.

[00:07:04] I remember when it came out.

[00:07:06] I'm just surprised that this movie came as late in the filmography, like Shah Rukh's filmography

[00:07:13] as it did.

[00:07:15] Because I don't know, maybe because this movie is set in the night in like what 1980 or whatever.

[00:07:21] But I remember, like in my memory, I think of this as like a mid-90s film.

[00:07:28] The choreography, like everything just screams mid-90s to me.

[00:07:32] Like it doesn't seem like a turn of the century kind of movie.

[00:07:37] But I think that's probably down to Mansur Ali Khan.

[00:07:40] Yeah.

[00:07:41] And I think this is the movie that convinced him that he should move to Kunur and start making cheese.

[00:07:47] So...

[00:07:48] I was thinking about that.

[00:07:49] Mansur was like, you know, like, it's my master piece.

[00:07:53] Now I will make cheese.

[00:07:54] It's going to make cheese.

[00:07:54] You know?

[00:07:56] No, but it's interesting you say that about like Amir.

[00:07:59] Because from what I remember, like it was supposed to be Shah Rukh and Amir.

[00:08:03] Like Amir was supposed to be playing Prakash.

[00:08:05] But then Amir is like, hey, let's go.

[00:08:07] Like I'm not going to play Prakash.

[00:08:10] No matter what.

[00:08:12] Amir saw that con coming from a mile away.

[00:08:15] It was supposed to be Amir playing Prakash.

[00:08:18] And apparently earlier, like iterations, it was supposed to be Salman playing Max.

[00:08:24] And then Salman is like, I'm Aishwarya's brother.

[00:08:28] Which I feel makes complete sense.

[00:08:31] Salman as Max would 100% work.

[00:08:34] Like I think that should have been the cast.

[00:08:35] The leather jackets and all, it makes sense.

[00:08:38] Like also the thing is like, he has to take off the leather jacket a lot.

[00:08:42] And it's like we're looking at like a 4x4.

[00:08:44] Like, you know, there's like nothing there.

[00:08:46] Like what is this?

[00:08:47] Yeah, it's a 4x4.

[00:08:49] Like no cuts, no guts.

[00:08:52] You know, like.

[00:08:53] Oh, wow.

[00:08:54] Oh, wow.

[00:08:55] Only I saw the muscles.

[00:08:58] Which muscles are the other?

[00:09:02] This is like all very specific body shaming going on.

[00:09:06] Not cool.

[00:09:08] Let's get into Josh a little bit.

[00:09:11] What I like about a movie is when the pitch is forwards.

[00:09:15] West Side Story in Goa.

[00:09:17] That's it.

[00:09:18] I love that.

[00:09:19] You know, it's such a clear idea of what they want to do.

[00:09:22] And it doesn't need more explanation than that necessarily.

[00:09:26] Right?

[00:09:28] It's funny.

[00:09:28] I was watching Josh.

[00:09:29] Like I said, this movie had no impact on me necessarily.

[00:09:32] Like it came, it went, it was fine.

[00:09:34] But later on, I heard this like, it's so important for a lot of people.

[00:09:39] Like I was looking at what Shah Rukh was doing in 2000.

[00:09:41] He did Heram, which was a special appearance, which I really, really love.

[00:09:46] I also love Heram in general.

[00:09:49] Josh and then Mohabbate and Gaj Gamini.

[00:09:53] He also has a special appearance in Har Dil Jo Piar Karega.

[00:09:57] So that's what he was doing.

[00:09:59] And Aishwarya was quite young actually.

[00:10:01] She hadn't done like, she'd done Ham Dil De Chu Ke Sanam.

[00:10:06] And the first one she did, you know, with the song with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

[00:10:11] I don't remember the name of the movie.

[00:10:13] Aar Piar Ho Gaya.

[00:10:14] Oh yeah.

[00:10:15] Oh no, she did also Aab Laud Chale Antal actually.

[00:10:17] I'm mistaken here.

[00:10:18] Yeah.

[00:10:19] So yeah, she had done a bit of movies in Hindi cinema.

[00:10:22] But yeah, she was quite still fresh.

[00:10:24] And yeah, so yeah, Josh.

[00:10:29] Yamini, you gave us your initial impressions.

[00:10:34] Rewatching it.

[00:10:34] How did Josh feel for you?

[00:10:36] Was it as fresh as you remember?

[00:10:37] Rewatching it is empty.

[00:10:39] So like I said, Red, I used to watch it like what?

[00:10:42] Like three, four times a month from when I was like, what?

[00:10:45] Four, five years old till when I was 11.

[00:10:47] You don't rub it na.

[00:10:49] It's okay.

[00:10:49] You and your young were old, buddy.

[00:10:51] I get it na.

[00:10:52] My child was when Josh came 2000.

[00:10:56] You know what, Sari?

[00:10:57] I completely forgot how Josh ended because I realized that even though I'd seen it so many times,

[00:11:05] I always like turn TV off once like the carnival song is done.

[00:11:09] I was like, okay, Pata Chal Gaya, illegitimate children.

[00:11:11] This is too much for my brain to like comprehend.

[00:11:14] Like, it's like, you know, like now I feel it.

[00:11:18] And I was like, yeah, okay.

[00:11:19] Like Vasko, like, you know, putla bhi like thermakol jasa dikhta hai.

[00:11:22] Like, it's not like, you know, how much do we care about Vasko really?

[00:11:28] But I honestly really enjoyed it.

[00:11:32] And I do think a lot of it is because I think I've projected this love that I hold for this film so much

[00:11:39] that it's just there.

[00:11:42] And also it was just like, there are some things about the film that I think still are just so amazing.

[00:11:49] One thing that I will hold on forever, Aishwarya's fashion in this film.

[00:11:55] Because my God, like even as a kid, I was like, when I grew up, I want to dress like that.

[00:11:59] And even now I'm like, when I grew up, I want to dress like that.

[00:12:05] But yeah, it was very, like, I fully enjoyed it.

[00:12:09] I mean, there are some bits which we'll get into, but I think it was very fresh and I truly enjoyed it.

[00:12:14] So, what about you?

[00:12:16] This is like you said, it was a big thing when it came out.

[00:12:18] Like, have you seen it a lot since?

[00:12:21] Is it kind of a movie you watch a lot?

[00:12:23] No, I haven't.

[00:12:24] I think I didn't even get to watch it at the cinema.

[00:12:27] I watched it probably like on a VCD rip when it came out on cable TV or something.

[00:12:34] And I remember Josh to be this hazy memory.

[00:12:37] Other than the songs that came on MTV or whatever music channels were playing.

[00:12:42] This was a pop culture phenomenon more than a movie for me, especially because of Saileru and also Apun Bola, which pretty much have a life beyond the movie itself for me.

[00:12:56] But going back to this movie, it felt like a trip to the early 2000s, you know, that time when a movie like this could be made.

[00:13:05] I don't think we, again, like this is a very specific aesthetic of what Bollywood used to be.

[00:13:12] The song and dance is so much of that era.

[00:13:15] The fashion, obviously.

[00:13:17] And particularly one scene where, as you said, Aishwarya is almost at the early, you know, part of her career.

[00:13:26] And in one scene where she actually gets to tap into her whole Sanjana vibe from the Pepsi ad when she walks into that bakery and she's trying to seduce them to make this cake for her.

[00:13:37] And the light is like shining like a halo on her.

[00:13:40] And it's like that particular Sanju, you know, got another Pepsi vibe.

[00:13:45] It is there.

[00:13:47] And they capitalized on it.

[00:13:49] I was like, wow, you know, that Leonardo DiCaprio meme happened to me.

[00:13:54] Like, yeah.

[00:13:55] Yeh wai chai.

[00:13:57] I was, it was such a trip.

[00:13:59] It was like down memory lane.

[00:14:01] Like, Josh exists as that particular milestone in my core memory of how the early 2000s were.

[00:14:09] Yeah, I love it.

[00:14:11] Amrita, what about Josh?

[00:14:13] I mean, after all these years, I see why this movie didn't work.

[00:14:18] Right?

[00:14:18] Like, it is, like, I don't think anybody was surprised once this movie came out that it was something less than perfect.

[00:14:30] But I'd, I think I'd forgotten the whole communal aspect of it.

[00:14:39] Like, I'd remembered the, you know, the fact that their dad was a Portuguese colonizer.

[00:14:48] Like, I, I, I remembered that.

[00:14:51] Like, I have these vivid memories of, you know, that scene where every time Max, like, passes, goes past his father's statue in the town square.

[00:14:59] And he's just, like, sort of, like, spitting at the ground.

[00:15:02] Um, I remember that part.

[00:15:06] But I'd forgotten the whole thing about, like, um, the Bichu gang basically being, like, uh, uncouth Hindus from somewhere.

[00:15:16] And just sort of, like, getting into all these fights.

[00:15:20] Like, um, like, that part of it was, like, really, like, I didn't expect that.

[00:15:28] I think.

[00:15:29] It's also, uh, a, what a great choice of a child actor to play a child Shah Rukh who looks exactly like how a child Shah Rukh would look like.

[00:15:39] Yeah.

[00:15:39] Uh, and I think if I'm not correct, uh, if I'm not wrong, um, uh, what was I about to say?

[00:15:48] West Side Story is also based in all the real estate and the Irish versus Puerto Rican immigrants of New York, right?

[00:15:56] So, it's pretty much that.

[00:15:58] So, it is a very interesting thing.

[00:16:01] Like, I just didn't, like, it, it seems like, you know, like, the, I, I said earlier that it seemed like, like, in my memory, I remembered this as a very mid-90s movie.

[00:16:17] But the fact that it was weaving in this bit of history and it was trying to talk about, like, uh, fairly difficult things, you know, like land rights in Goa, for example, which continues to be a huge deal even today.

[00:16:32] Um, like, that kind of really places it in that sort of late 90s, early, uh, 2000s sort of, um, time range.

[00:16:45] So, it's a, it's a bit of an anachronism, like, this movie, because, um, you look at it and you feel it's one kind of way and then you sort of, like, analyze it and it goes in a completely different direction.

[00:16:59] It's a very confusing film for me.

[00:17:02] I'd, uh, I'd not seen West Side Story before I'd, uh, watched Josh.

[00:17:07] Like, back in the day when I watched Josh, I had not seen West Side Story.

[00:17:10] And I've only now revisited it since the Steven Spielberg version came out a couple of years ago.

[00:17:15] And then I went back to watch the old version just to kind of get an idea of it.

[00:17:20] And I think the problem for me is that for us, musicals are just part of life, right?

[00:17:25] Like, we watch musicals all the time, this thing and that.

[00:17:28] But for Americans, it's like an odd thing, right?

[00:17:30] It has a beast that they have to kind of, like, fit in these songs and justify it and all of that kind of thing.

[00:17:37] And somewhere, musicals, American musicals are just inherently silly, I find.

[00:17:43] Like, you know, because they don't know how to do it.

[00:17:45] It just feels a bit silly.

[00:17:47] Like, less so the older ones because it comes from that genre, from vaudeville and theater and stuff like that.

[00:17:53] But the newer ones, it's like they're trying to force something in which doesn't come naturally to you, right?

[00:17:59] And I also, that's why I also just found Josh kind of to be silly.

[00:18:04] Like, a lot of those points that Amrita is making about the land grabbing.

[00:18:08] I didn't know that Goa was still a colony until much later after independence.

[00:18:12] So watching this, I was like, wait, I didn't even know that.

[00:18:15] But I think it touches on these things, but it never delves into them deep enough to actually make.

[00:18:21] It's just kind of, like, background.

[00:18:23] And it's just, like, an awkward set of casting also.

[00:18:28] Like, it's, like, West Side Story is the love story between these two sides, right?

[00:18:34] But, like, Yamini, you mentioned, Sujara mentioned, when you have Shah Rukh and Aishwarya playing twins on one side,

[00:18:40] and the other side is, you know, devoid of any charm with, like, Sharad Kapoor and, like, you know, Chandra Chursingh.

[00:18:49] It's like you lose the lottery of genetics there.

[00:18:52] It's like, the whole thing just seems disbalanced then.

[00:18:57] Like, you know, the love story, Chandra Chursingh, and it's like Aishwarya is there.

[00:19:02] And then also, like, there's no equality between Shah Rukh becomes Shah Rukh and he's fighting Shah Rukh.

[00:19:10] It's like, you're going to kill Shah Rukh.

[00:19:11] Like, when you talk about Bichu gang and Eagle gang, like, who the hell wants to be in Bichu?

[00:19:17] Like, it's like such a loser gang, right?

[00:19:20] Nobody chooses to be Bichu unless you're just a Shah Rukh hater, I guess.

[00:19:25] So, I, this movie was, like, I'll be honest, Asim with the statements.

[00:19:31] I had a tougher time finishing this movie than Dilte Rashik, which we did on the last episode.

[00:19:39] I watched Dilte Rashik in one sitting and it was painful, but I got through it.

[00:19:44] This one, I was just, like, huffing and puffing.

[00:19:47] I was like, shit, yara, I'll be like, all, like, there's a court case still to go.

[00:19:50] Oh, there's a whole thing.

[00:19:51] And also, like, the big reveal builds up, which all happens in the last 20, last 30 minutes that, you know,

[00:19:57] there are najayas and stuff like that.

[00:19:59] And then Shah Rukh just Fs off to the cemetery and is, like, just being sad.

[00:20:04] I was like, kya o rai?

[00:20:05] Like, you know, like, I need, like, some sort of, like, najayas kind of situation where he's, like...

[00:20:10] The whole situation with the gun and it was there, it was not there.

[00:20:15] And then the, you know, the Shushant Singh, Gautia's final moment and his...

[00:20:19] Everything is so rushed.

[00:20:21] It's so rushed.

[00:20:22] And it doesn't make sense.

[00:20:25] But also, like, a lot of it doesn't make sense.

[00:20:28] Like, Priya Gill comes at some junctures and then she f***s off.

[00:20:32] And then the whole Prakash's girlfriend and romance is...

[00:20:36] There are hints that he's dating this girl, but then it's not there.

[00:20:42] Yeah, it was here, not there.

[00:20:44] Like, it bounces in bits.

[00:20:48] I don't know.

[00:20:49] I think there's a lot of things that might have gone wrong in the edit, I think.

[00:20:53] Yeah.

[00:20:54] It could have been a buffalo mozzarella, but it ended up being, like, pre-shredded mozzarella.

[00:21:01] In the parlance of Mansoor Khan.

[00:21:06] No, but see, I understand why, like, you think of it as a 90s film more than, like, one that came in 2000.

[00:21:14] Because, like, I think he started working on this, like, right after Akele Hum, Akele Tum, which, like, released in 1995.

[00:21:20] But it just got stuck in production for four years, which is also why, like, I feel like Aishwarya looks younger than she looked like in Hamdul De Chukhi Sanam.

[00:21:30] Yeah.

[00:21:32] But, I mean, the thing is, I think, again, my, it comes from such a place of, like, love and nostalgia.

[00:21:41] And that being said, like, yeah, there are some bits where, like, I did, like, cringe, like, really hard.

[00:21:48] Like, like, the first time Shah Rukh says Kutriya, I'm like, oh, you can't pull that off.

[00:21:54] You're not.

[00:21:54] Oh, my God.

[00:21:55] Oh, my God.

[00:21:57] Like, this movie tried to make Goa cool.

[00:22:00] Like, Konkani is cool.

[00:22:02] And then all that people or kids learned from this movie was,

[00:22:08] Ida rich kad dalenga.

[00:22:10] Everybody was just, like, all those, like, kids in my moholle, they were just, Ida rich kad dalenga.

[00:22:17] And what I feel bad about is, like, so at the time when we were growing up, like, when we were living in Bhutthana,

[00:22:23] like, one of our close family friends, like, they were Goans.

[00:22:26] Like, they were Konkani-speaking Catholic Goans.

[00:22:30] And I am, like, one, to be honest, none of the Goans I know have actually heard them speak in Hindi.

[00:22:36] It's always either been English or Konkani.

[00:22:38] So, I always wonder if they actually do speak in Hindi.

[00:22:41] Do they speak like this?

[00:22:43] It's a very Mumbai's version or a Bombay version of what Goan would look like.

[00:22:51] Yes, correct.

[00:22:51] That 100%, like, definitely.

[00:22:53] What, man?

[00:22:54] What are you doing?

[00:22:54] What are you doing?

[00:22:54] What are you doing?

[00:22:57] When he comes, he's like,

[00:23:00] You're the only one of the Goans.

[00:23:01] I'm like, man, please.

[00:23:04] Shah Rukh cannot pull it off.

[00:23:06] Like, but it grew on me.

[00:23:08] I do have to say that.

[00:23:10] It really grew on me.

[00:23:12] There's actually, like, a girl on...

[00:23:15] There's a girl on TikTok or on, like, Instagram that is doing these impressions of what it feels like to be a Catholic in Bollywood movies.

[00:23:22] I couldn't find the clip again.

[00:23:23] But she's like...

[00:23:24] It was like watching Josh, pretty much.

[00:23:26] It was exactly that.

[00:23:28] But, yeah.

[00:23:29] I know we really want to talk about Shah Rukh and Aishwarya.

[00:23:33] I know that's what most of this will be.

[00:23:35] But I want to talk first about Sharath Kapoor and Chandra Choor Singh.

[00:23:41] Because...

[00:23:46] This is an era where they were hot shit.

[00:23:50] Or, like, always.

[00:23:51] They were being placed...

[00:23:54] They were the Jeremy Renner of Bollywood.

[00:23:56] Like, they were being placed as the next thing.

[00:24:00] Right?

[00:24:01] And it never happened like it didn't happen for Jeremy Renner.

[00:24:06] Yeah.

[00:24:07] It's just like, yeah.

[00:24:08] Chandra Choor Singh and Sharath Kapoor were, like...

[00:24:13] They came in with a bang, right?

[00:24:15] That body.

[00:24:15] And I don't think people remember that era anymore.

[00:24:18] Right?

[00:24:18] I think...

[00:24:19] So, for Chandra Choor Singh and Priya Gill and Arshad Warsi...

[00:24:23] They were launched with Tere Mere Sapne...

[00:24:25] Which was this big ABCL thing, right?

[00:24:28] And that movie did not do well.

[00:24:30] But I think when they signed that deal...

[00:24:33] They signed a bunch of movies together.

[00:24:36] And then Matches happened...

[00:24:38] Which made Chandra Choor Singh...

[00:24:40] Like, front of the...

[00:24:42] You know, all the auditions.

[00:24:43] Like, he was getting all these good movies.

[00:24:45] He did a movie with Karisma Kapoor...

[00:24:48] If I remember correctly.

[00:24:50] Sil Sila Hai Piyarka or something.

[00:24:51] And then he did Kya Kehana...

[00:24:56] What else?

[00:24:57] But, yeah.

[00:24:58] He was really big.

[00:24:59] I don't remember Sharath Kapoor to be that big, though.

[00:25:02] I think he did TV before...

[00:25:04] If I remember, like, he was in Swabiman, right?

[00:25:08] And then...

[00:25:09] I think, like, Sharath Kapoor was basically...

[00:25:11] Did Dastak?

[00:25:11] Yeah, Dastak.

[00:25:13] Yeah.

[00:25:13] Yeah.

[00:25:14] I feel like Sharath Kapoor...

[00:25:16] Basically part of that contingent of TV actors...

[00:25:19] Like, Ritu Raj, for example...

[00:25:22] Who saw that Sharuk was able to translate from, like, TV to film...

[00:25:26] And they were like...

[00:25:27] Oh, we can also do that.

[00:25:28] Like, that is a legitimate path.

[00:25:30] And it turns out...

[00:25:31] No, it isn't.

[00:25:32] That was just a Sharath Kapoor.

[00:25:34] That is just a Sharath Kapoor.

[00:25:35] Yeah.

[00:25:36] Yeah.

[00:25:37] But he also...

[00:25:38] I think what...

[00:25:39] He was trying to really emulate Amitabh...

[00:25:42] To a certain degree, I think.

[00:25:44] Like, there was this very angry kind of quality to him all the time.

[00:25:49] Sharath Kapoor, I'm talking about.

[00:25:51] Yeah.

[00:25:51] And especially here, when you're against...

[00:25:54] When you're playing, like, you know, the Bichu Gang leader.

[00:25:59] You...

[00:25:59] A, he's angry, fine.

[00:26:01] But you also need to be able to dance.

[00:26:04] You also need to be able to be charming.

[00:26:06] You need to be a guy that, you know, people are following.

[00:26:08] And all of those skills, I feel, Sharath Kapoor is lacking in.

[00:26:12] Right?

[00:26:13] He's just scummy.

[00:26:14] He's just scummy.

[00:26:15] Yeah.

[00:26:15] He's just, like, angry all the time.

[00:26:17] Playing kind of gunda version.

[00:26:19] And, like, Yamini said, there's this hint of...

[00:26:22] There's the romance with another girl.

[00:26:23] Which we only see in the background a few times, I think.

[00:26:26] But, like...

[00:26:27] Yeah.

[00:26:27] She never comes to the forefront.

[00:26:29] Like, Kaurna...

[00:26:29] I'll be honest.

[00:26:30] Actually, like, I watched the film.

[00:26:32] Like, day before yesterday and yesterday.

[00:26:34] I watched it in two hours because, like, time.

[00:26:36] But...

[00:26:36] I re-watched Sailor O Sailor Ray.

[00:26:38] Right before we started this recording.

[00:26:40] And that's when I was like, oh, yeah.

[00:26:41] He has a girlfriend also.

[00:26:43] I forgot.

[00:26:43] No, no.

[00:26:44] That girlfriend appears in the Carnival song also.

[00:26:46] Yeah.

[00:26:46] But that's...

[00:26:47] Yeah.

[00:26:47] Yeah.

[00:26:48] That's it.

[00:26:48] Yeah.

[00:26:49] But if they maybe develop that part...

[00:26:52] And I think Aamir was right to reject this role, right?

[00:26:55] Like, it doesn't have enough meat, right?

[00:26:57] Sorry.

[00:26:58] Is it Chandrachur Singh that he was supposed to play?

[00:27:00] No, no, no.

[00:27:00] No, no.

[00:27:01] So, Aamir was...

[00:27:02] Like, I think he was supposed to play.

[00:27:03] But I also feel like if Aamir had been Prakash, the role would have probably, like, been meatier.

[00:27:12] Yeah.

[00:27:12] It would have been a better movie, even.

[00:27:14] Yeah.

[00:27:14] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:27:15] Yeah.

[00:27:15] Because imagine, like, Aamir and Salman being, like, eagle and bichu.

[00:27:20] Like...

[00:27:20] So cool.

[00:27:22] So cool.

[00:27:23] Such a better movie it would have been.

[00:27:25] Like, to be honest, like, yeah.

[00:27:28] Mere Amar Prime.

[00:27:28] And then, yeah, Chandrachur.

[00:27:29] Yeah.

[00:27:30] And then Chandrachur.

[00:27:32] Like, you know, for a moment, he was also like, yeah, Marches...

[00:27:36] Amrita, what's your favorite Chandrachur Singh movie?

[00:27:40] Can you name three Chandrachur Singh movies?

[00:27:43] Oh, who has a favorite Chandrachur Singh movie?

[00:27:49] Probably Marches.

[00:27:50] I'm Marches by default, right?

[00:27:52] Yeah.

[00:27:53] Like, what else...

[00:27:54] I also like Tere Mere Sapne, though, to be honest.

[00:27:56] I've never watched it, to be honest.

[00:27:58] It's not bad.

[00:27:58] Like, Tere Mere Sapne is not a bad movie.

[00:28:00] But, like, Aishad Vasi just walks away with the entire film.

[00:28:03] You know?

[00:28:03] Like, there's nobody else that you can look at it.

[00:28:07] So...

[00:28:07] Fun fact about Chandrachur Singh.

[00:28:10] He's the only actor who's worked with both Aishwarya and Sushmita Sen.

[00:28:14] Oh, yeah.

[00:28:16] He was also...

[00:28:19] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:28:21] You're joking about it.

[00:28:23] Oh.

[00:28:25] That's a fact, Lata.

[00:28:28] No, because I thought, like, Sushmita Sen now, like, you know...

[00:28:32] You failed on both sides.

[00:28:39] I love my fun facts.

[00:28:44] You were not supposed to...

[00:28:45] The connection with which he was saying...

[00:28:48] Yeah.

[00:28:49] Yeah, fun facts.

[00:28:50] Yeah, very Trumpy and expecting us not to cross-check you.

[00:28:54] Yeah, it's very that.

[00:28:56] You were not supposed to fact-check on me.

[00:28:59] Google, though.

[00:29:00] That's the thing.

[00:29:00] Shahrukh is in the movie.

[00:29:05] You gave us 20 rupees.

[00:29:07] You gave us 20 rupees.

[00:29:09] Which movie did Shahrukh do with Sushmita?

[00:29:12] I don't know.

[00:29:13] Oh, yeah.

[00:29:14] Talk about it.

[00:29:15] He's done two movies.

[00:29:17] He also did that.

[00:29:18] I don't know.

[00:29:19] I don't know.

[00:29:20] I don't know.

[00:29:21] I don't know.

[00:29:22] I don't know.

[00:29:22] I don't know.

[00:29:25] I don't know.

[00:29:26] I don't know.

[00:29:29] You know, he's also...

[00:29:30] Chandrachur is also good in Daag the Fire.

[00:29:32] Do you remember Daag the Fire?

[00:29:34] It's a Rajkan girl film.

[00:29:35] No.

[00:29:35] I like that movie.

[00:29:37] I remember that.

[00:29:37] I was like, ooh, you're quite good at this one.

[00:29:39] Of course you did.

[00:29:40] Of course you did.

[00:29:41] Daag the Fire.

[00:29:42] And of course, you were like, wow, what a movie.

[00:29:46] Again, I have not seen Daag.

[00:29:49] I have seen Daag the Fire and I like it.

[00:29:53] I'm trying to remember the song from Daag the Fire.

[00:29:55] That was a crazy, amazing song.

[00:29:58] Yeah, it was good.

[00:29:59] Daag the Fire was good.

[00:30:04] Man, this shit I get away with.

[00:30:08] Anyway.

[00:30:10] Oh, Lucky Kabootner.

[00:30:12] That was the song that I was talking about.

[00:30:14] Of course you think.

[00:30:16] Yeah, Marita, how can you not like, love Lucky Kabootner?

[00:30:21] That's not a reason to watch a movie.

[00:30:23] Yeah, it's been there saying that.

[00:30:25] All right, back to Josh.

[00:30:26] Back to Josh.

[00:30:28] Yeah, let's get into the Aishwari of it all.

[00:30:32] Wait, I do have a fun fact about.

[00:30:34] Is it fun and is it a fact?

[00:30:36] Okay, I don't know if it was a fact because it was in like a film fair or something.

[00:30:41] Okay.

[00:30:41] But I remember, so like during the pandemic, I used to be part of like all these like panel

[00:30:45] quiz online things, right?

[00:30:47] And like when we do the film one, basically like, you know, the kiss that had the kiss

[00:30:53] like in quotation marks that happens between like Aishwarya and Chandrachar Singh.

[00:30:57] It was supposed to be an actual kiss.

[00:30:59] Like everyone tried to like convince Aishwarya.

[00:31:01] And Chandrachar Singh was like really upset because he was like, it's not like she's against

[00:31:05] kissing.

[00:31:06] She kissed Akshay and Tal.

[00:31:07] Why won't she kiss me?

[00:31:11] That is because.

[00:31:14] Apparently like film fair, like he had gone on like an outburst about like the lack of

[00:31:21] this and Aishwarya was like HL.

[00:31:24] She was dating Salman by that time.

[00:31:26] So I feel like if he tried a little bit harder, like Salman would have like.

[00:31:30] I thought like when Yavini said she had a fun fact about the kiss was that, you know how Salman

[00:31:36] insisted in Devdas that his would be the hands that like pull the thorn from like Aishwarya's

[00:31:45] foot in Orepia, like not Orepia, like what's the name of that song?

[00:31:50] Beripia.

[00:31:51] Beripia.

[00:31:52] Um, and, uh, I thought you were going to say that Salman offered to kiss Aishwarya.

[00:32:02] And I enjoyed and we feel like I will be the stand there.

[00:32:09] Maybe he would have done Chandrachar's role, no?

[00:32:11] But he was like my own be naked.

[00:32:14] The thing is like that kiss is hilarious because Aishwarya makes it so clear that she's not kissing

[00:32:20] him, right?

[00:32:20] Like there's the hand, but there's also the angle.

[00:32:23] Usually you do one hand or angle.

[00:32:26] Aishwarya does both.

[00:32:28] Like Salman, you're watching it, right?

[00:32:31] Yeah.

[00:32:32] It's all kosher.

[00:32:34] Like they, they have like anti-chemistry.

[00:32:37] Like it's not, it's not even a lack of chemistry.

[00:32:41] It is like very, like, uh, very stringently like no chemistry.

[00:32:46] Um, but it's like throughout this movie, men are hitting on Aishwarya, right?

[00:32:55] The ambition a man needs to be able to hit on Aishwarya.

[00:33:02] But they're also, they know that Max is around.

[00:33:08] So they're also scared.

[00:33:09] Like, like, Shahrukh ka bae ga.

[00:33:11] But they're like, jab tak like Shahrukh ne dikhe ga.

[00:33:14] Khoj ka pe.

[00:33:15] Yeah, proper guts, man.

[00:33:19] Also Shahrukh's blue contact.

[00:33:24] Yeah, no, I still want to stay a little bit on Aishwarya for a little bit.

[00:33:28] Because it does explain the male psyche to an extent where you have these two guys on the,

[00:33:35] like hitting on her in the church.

[00:33:37] And one of these guys is wearing this like big marijuana pendant while he's hitting on her.

[00:33:42] And I was like, wow, yeah.

[00:33:44] Like, like even like Chandrachur.

[00:33:46] Like, he comes in city boy with a master's in food design.

[00:33:52] Which, you know, he's...

[00:33:55] I thought he said food science first.

[00:33:57] No, no, no.

[00:33:57] Design.

[00:33:58] Science is bhi nahi karne diya.

[00:33:59] Sivu design karne diya.

[00:34:01] You know?

[00:34:01] And his big ambition is,

[00:34:03] I'll open a fast food restaurant in Bombay.

[00:34:07] But second plan, I'll open a bakery in Vasco.

[00:34:13] So these are the men that have the ambition.

[00:34:17] That plan comes after his is Aishwarya.

[00:34:20] He's like, actually, you can live in Vasco.

[00:34:21] Yeah.

[00:34:23] But like, I think it does say something about the male psyche that

[00:34:27] we will kill a chance.

[00:34:29] Like, the man will kill a chance.

[00:34:32] And sometimes it pays off, right?

[00:34:34] And in the case of weird Chandrachur singing in this movie,

[00:34:38] or, you know, me in real life, it works out.

[00:34:42] You hit the lottery.

[00:34:44] So, yeah.

[00:34:46] Keep going, man.

[00:34:47] Keep going.

[00:34:48] Take chances.

[00:34:48] Keep getting chances.

[00:34:50] But you were saying about the dressing and the beauty of Aishwarya Rai.

[00:34:55] Like, what were the fits for you that you're like,

[00:34:58] I want, you know, I want to be like Aishwarya?

[00:35:00] No, the, what do you call the, the checkered skirts with like the leather jacket.

[00:35:07] And just like, I think also that time one, because even when you talked about the scene,

[00:35:12] right, where she's like entering the bakery, it's just the hair.

[00:35:18] I'm like, I haven't, I miss seeing voluminous hair in cinema.

[00:35:23] I miss like, also, cause like, I think that's also like, as I got older, right?

[00:35:27] And like beauty standards changed and my hair was like very 90s.

[00:35:30] I was like, yeah.

[00:35:33] Again, ambition.

[00:35:41] I was watching a Lehre interview of the making of, of this movie.

[00:35:46] I'll add, I'll add it maybe to the show notes of the show.

[00:35:48] And you know, like Aishwarya saying, yeah, we were just like low, no, low makeup to no

[00:35:54] makeup and just unkept hair.

[00:35:56] And I was like, dear Lord, man, this woman.

[00:35:59] This is a no hair, like unkept low makeup beauty.

[00:36:05] It's insane, man.

[00:36:06] Literally all she did was get a tan.

[00:36:08] Yeah.

[00:36:09] So she was like, maybe tan will make me look a little bit more going.

[00:36:11] Yeah, exactly.

[00:36:12] And I'm like.

[00:36:13] But she's trying like 100%.

[00:36:15] She's like fully committed to this role.

[00:36:17] Like, I feel like she's really giving it her all.

[00:36:20] You know, this is like the first few years of her and she's like fully, she wants to

[00:36:25] be an actress, right?

[00:36:26] Like she is an actress.

[00:36:27] I mean, she wants to be a star and it shows like what she's doing.

[00:36:31] No, it was just like whatever, even like the cotton dresses, like everything just

[00:36:34] felt super like carefree.

[00:36:36] Didn't feel like she was trying hard in the way she was dressed.

[00:36:40] But I think that was what really like it's kind of like because I think there are a few

[00:36:45] fits in the 90s, especially like that.

[00:36:47] I think still hold like one is this for me and another one is like Urmila's like high

[00:36:52] waist pants with the tied shirts in Rangila.

[00:36:56] Rangila.

[00:36:57] Because I'm like, this is how I dress now.

[00:37:00] Like, yeah.

[00:37:03] If you hear anybody singing Yari in front of Big Ben, it's Yamini.

[00:37:11] No, but really like, it's just, I mean, not all the fits because I'm like, it's not

[00:37:16] the guts.

[00:37:17] But like the ones that I can pull off.

[00:37:21] But really like, I think the one is just the ones that she wears in Apunbola.

[00:37:26] Like even with the dangarees, I'm like, how do you look so good in overalls?

[00:37:30] Like, like overalls.

[00:37:33] I've tried overalls.

[00:37:34] I was like, it's not my look.

[00:37:36] I've understood.

[00:37:38] Yeah.

[00:37:38] Yeah.

[00:37:38] I will mention one more look.

[00:37:40] And that is in Mere Khayalio Ki Malika, where probably this is in Chandrachur's imagination.

[00:37:46] He sees the Koli dance happening and it's, the song is shot in slow motion and you see

[00:37:52] Aishwarya dance in the Koli dance costume and she's dancing in slow motion and the camera

[00:37:57] loves her.

[00:37:58] I mean, the camera loves her like irrespective, but that particular scene is like, oh, so, so,

[00:38:05] so beautiful.

[00:38:06] So I'm pretty sure because in the credits, like choreography is Farah Khan, right?

[00:38:11] So I'm pretty sure like Mere Khayalio Ki Malika, like was, I mean, there's her and

[00:38:16] I think I forgot who the other one.

[00:38:18] But I'm pretty sure like she would have done, because that was what she was doing then, but

[00:38:23] she also did it for Jojita Vahe Sikander again, Mansoor Khan film.

[00:38:27] So I'm like, I'm assuming slow motion is her only.

[00:38:31] Amrita, what do you, what do you feel about Aishwarya in this movie?

[00:38:33] I mean, she's so young in this, isn't she?

[00:38:37] Like she's just, she's a baby.

[00:38:42] Yeah, I mean, it's, it's pretty raw.

[00:38:46] Like her performance, obviously, like, I don't think she really had the acting things figured

[00:38:52] out until, well, some would say that she never really figured it out.

[00:38:57] But I would say that it took her until, say, Hamdul Dei Chukye Sanam.

[00:39:03] And like what Yamni was saying, you know, like, these were not, although these were movies that

[00:39:08] released very close to each other, this was a movie that was shot considerably before she

[00:39:15] started working on Hamdul Dei Chukye Sanam.

[00:39:18] So you can see that difference, you know, the difference between Shirley and Nandini, like

[00:39:23] the, how she's able to portray the two characters.

[00:39:28] But yeah, she looks, she's gorgeous.

[00:39:31] She's like absolutely gorgeous.

[00:39:32] Like I, all I wanted were the, you know, the, what Yamini was saying, the, in, I think

[00:39:42] it's in, it's in that song with Chandr Chur where she's, where they're both like dressed

[00:39:48] in the, the overalls.

[00:39:51] But hers is the one with the shorts.

[00:39:54] Hi, Myra Dil.

[00:39:54] But hers are the shorts.

[00:39:57] And all I wanted were like a pair of like, like those, you know, like the, the shorts

[00:40:03] or the, the dungari look.

[00:40:07] And I would never in a million years be able to play it.

[00:40:11] Let's be real.

[00:40:13] It's, it's crazy though, the, how distractingly beautiful Aishwarya is in this movie.

[00:40:20] I was thinking about like, what's a good analogy, right?

[00:40:22] If it's basically, if you're like a normal middle-class person and you win like a, in

[00:40:27] a lottery, you win like a Bugatti Verso or something like that.

[00:40:30] Like, what do you do now?

[00:40:31] Like, you can't give it back.

[00:40:32] You have this amazing car in front of you and you have, the only thing you could do is show,

[00:40:36] show it around to your friends.

[00:40:38] Like, it's just like, it's beyond anything that you can manage and handle like her beauty,

[00:40:43] right?

[00:40:43] It's, it's crazy to, like, because we watched Dil Teh Aashik.

[00:40:47] We watched, we, we watched Madhuri, who amazingly beautiful, right?

[00:40:51] But still, there's a sense of realism to her beauty.

[00:40:56] Like, you know, Madhuri, I'm not going to call her girl next door or anything like that.

[00:41:00] It is Madhuri freaking Dixon.

[00:41:02] But Aishwarya is just such a high level.

[00:41:05] Like, like, you know, it's like a scientist named it.

[00:41:08] You know, like, it's like, it's crazy to see her in this movie.

[00:41:12] Also, Mere Khayaalun Kui Malaka, like, it's, I think of it as this subgenre of songs, which

[00:41:19] I'm trying to think how many more are there in Hindi because I can think of so many in Telugu.

[00:41:23] Like, I mean, Krishna Bhamsi, like, he's a, he's a director, he's Ramya Krishna's husband.

[00:41:27] He used to have this in pretty much every film.

[00:41:30] Like, he did a film in 1996 with Tabu, where it's like this, where you see the, the women,

[00:41:36] like, like, like, like, like camera loves her.

[00:41:40] Like, and you see her in all sorts of ways.

[00:41:42] Aishwarya in casual, she's dressed in like the Koli, you know, the Koli this and like,

[00:41:46] it's just like, oh, look at how beautiful she can look in literally anything.

[00:41:52] Like, and I think also that's why, like, it just, oh my God, Aishwarya just, I was, I was

[00:41:59] honestly distracted.

[00:42:00] I think a part of me, I was just not paying attention to the film when she'd come on screen.

[00:42:04] But I do agree with you when you see that she did give it like her all because I never

[00:42:09] felt, I was cringing through the other performances.

[00:42:13] I wasn't really cringing through Aishwarya's debut.

[00:42:15] Maybe, maybe because again, I was just like awestruck.

[00:42:17] But genuinely, I felt like she was trying to, I didn't feel like there was like an unnecessary

[00:42:23] level of overaction or anything like, which I have felt in other films of her.

[00:42:29] So.

[00:42:30] And it's like, it's just then just sad that, you know, she's then Chandra Choor is the one

[00:42:34] she falls for, who's basically either, you know, he's dressed like a colonizer or he's

[00:42:40] dressed like a pizza delivery boy.

[00:42:41] I don't know who I, what, what the fits was that Chandra Choor thing, like all of his

[00:42:45] caps have like no curve to the brim.

[00:42:47] Please people, if you have a baseball cap, curve the brim.

[00:42:51] It looks ridiculous to have like a straight brim, unless you're, you know, a young fellow

[00:42:55] or something like that, which Chandra Choor is not.

[00:42:57] Yeah, it's, it looks really, really bad.

[00:43:03] I don't know.

[00:43:03] Do we want to quickly talk about Priyagel a moment?

[00:43:07] Because she's not there too much in this movie.

[00:43:09] I also realized watching it that I can't, at that era, you know, there's this meme going

[00:43:16] around where, oh, I couldn't see the difference between Raveena Tandon and Twinkle Khanna,

[00:43:23] which I don't understand because they look completely different.

[00:43:26] But I have seen that meme go around.

[00:43:27] But I remember back in the era, the women that did confuse me were Priyagel, Preeti Jangnanya

[00:43:34] and the girl from Kareem.

[00:43:37] What's her name?

[00:43:38] Shabana Raza.

[00:43:39] I wrote it down.

[00:43:40] These three women were completely interchangeable for me.

[00:43:42] I couldn't figure out who was here.

[00:43:45] Preeti Jangnanya.

[00:43:47] Yeah, whatever.

[00:43:49] Jangnanya.

[00:43:50] Jangnanya.

[00:43:53] Jinga Lala.

[00:43:55] You see, we could have done double feature, like Bhutani Premika and like Piaari Behna,

[00:44:02] you know.

[00:44:04] You know who Priyagel is?

[00:44:06] Priyagel is the original Prati Desai.

[00:44:09] That's who she is.

[00:44:10] She's like, you know.

[00:44:12] Yeah.

[00:44:13] And like somebody who's just like, it's not that she's ugly or anything.

[00:44:17] Like she's like, she's objectively like a good looking person.

[00:44:21] But she had the bad luck to just exist in a time when the actresses were like

[00:44:30] Karisma Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, you know, Madhuri, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen.

[00:44:37] Yeah, Sushmita Sen.

[00:44:39] Are you kidding me?

[00:44:39] Basically, like 97 kids.

[00:44:43] Yeah.

[00:44:45] 97 kids.

[00:44:51] 97 kids.

[00:45:02] No room for pretty Jinga Lala.

[00:45:09] No, but it's true.

[00:45:10] She's really pretty, but she doesn't leave any sort of, you know, impression on you in this movie.

[00:45:16] It makes sense for Max to fall for her.

[00:45:19] Roseanne is pretty and he's like trying to impress her.

[00:45:22] But also, I don't think Max is trying to impress her.

[00:45:26] He's like playing pranks with her music instructor.

[00:45:31] And Vivek Vaswani also exists in this universe.

[00:45:34] I forgot about that.

[00:45:36] Yeah.

[00:45:36] Yeah.

[00:45:37] He has a lot of subod energy going on there.

[00:45:40] They make him dance in like the Carnival song as a pharaoh.

[00:45:46] And Priyagil is in the Cleopatra cosplay.

[00:45:50] Yeah.

[00:45:51] Yeah.

[00:45:51] Also, like why is she as Cleopatra there?

[00:45:54] Because the theme seemed to be completely different, no?

[00:45:57] Like, anyway.

[00:46:00] Shah Rukh.

[00:46:01] Let's talk about Max.

[00:46:01] Wait one second.

[00:46:02] I do have to say one thing though about like Priyagil.

[00:46:07] I do think she had good chemistry with Shah Rukh.

[00:46:13] No, Ayamini.

[00:46:15] Shah Rukh has good chemistry with a tree.

[00:46:20] Or maybe again.

[00:46:22] Maybe it's just like during that salsa or whatever song.

[00:46:26] Like comes in a masquerade with an eye patch.

[00:46:31] So we watched this Anna B4U print, right?

[00:46:33] And they muted it because apparently that was a Ricky Martin song.

[00:46:37] And they didn't want the YouTube channel to copyright them.

[00:46:40] It was a Ricky Martin song.

[00:46:42] So I was watching it like that.

[00:46:43] And then I was like, I want to know what song this is.

[00:46:46] So I went on to a pirated site just to watch that scene.

[00:46:49] And then I went back to the B4U print.

[00:46:52] But most of the songs are copied from somewhere, right?

[00:46:55] Like Hai Re Me Ra Dil is copied.

[00:46:58] Like it's the others.

[00:46:59] There's a Vangelis song going on there.

[00:47:02] You know, Conquest of Paradise.

[00:47:04] Anumalik.

[00:47:05] Yeah.

[00:47:06] Yeah.

[00:47:07] Is Priya Gil even acting anymore?

[00:47:09] No.

[00:47:10] Last movie is...

[00:47:10] I've never seen her even in...

[00:47:12] I know Chandrachur Singh is acting in like TV shows.

[00:47:16] Yeah.

[00:47:17] He came back recently for something.

[00:47:19] Yeah.

[00:47:19] Arya.

[00:47:20] Yeah.

[00:47:20] Sushmita.

[00:47:21] That's where Sujoy got his fun fact.

[00:47:23] He played Sushmita's husband in that show.

[00:47:27] Arya.

[00:47:28] Arya.

[00:47:30] Okay.

[00:47:32] It's not a fun fact.

[00:47:33] It's a tepid hair say.

[00:47:36] Well done.

[00:47:37] Well done.

[00:47:37] Well done.

[00:47:38] Well done, Asim.

[00:47:41] Okay.

[00:47:42] Let's talk about Maxi.

[00:47:46] Yamini.

[00:47:46] How does young Yamini...

[00:47:51] Man.

[00:47:52] I...

[00:47:53] I...

[00:47:53] You know, I love Max.

[00:47:55] And I think this is a thing, right?

[00:47:56] Like as I got older and like more rational and just like, you know, a person with more sense.

[00:48:04] Like just in general, right?

[00:48:05] Like, because the thing about Max is Max...

[00:48:09] You...

[00:48:09] Okay.

[00:48:10] I won't generalize.

[00:48:11] I had this every...

[00:48:13] Like I feel like everyone...

[00:48:16] You go through a phase in your life when you're like a good girl, right?

[00:48:19] Justify yourself, Yamini.

[00:48:20] Justify yourself.

[00:48:21] You go through a phase in your life, especially if you've been like a good girl, like always.

[00:48:24] I've been a good girl, yes.

[00:48:26] We won't be with a bad boy.

[00:48:29] Okay.

[00:48:30] This is where Yam's mom says, complete your sentences.

[00:48:35] Okay.

[00:48:37] She's said like 10 sentences, none of them complete.

[00:48:42] I've tried to word it properly because I have...

[00:48:46] I have the bullet point, Amrita.

[00:48:48] I'm just unsure how to word it properly.

[00:48:50] My mom will be listening.

[00:48:52] She's like...

[00:48:53] Civilized discussion about Yashopra.

[00:48:56] Now we're talking about Max.

[00:48:59] But you have...

[00:49:00] Especially if you've been a good girl, like you listen to your parents or other.

[00:49:03] But there's like that part of you that wants like the...

[00:49:06] That bad boy.

[00:49:07] If I like...

[00:49:07] Yeah, you're a good girl.

[00:49:08] What would be with bad boy?

[00:49:09] And Shah Rukh being the bad boy is even better.

[00:49:12] Because Shah Rukh is like the good guy.

[00:49:14] He's just being bad boy, you know.

[00:49:15] And I was into that man.

[00:49:19] I was into that.

[00:49:22] The little airing on the side was doing it for you.

[00:49:27] I audibly gasped when I saw that.

[00:49:29] And I felt so disgusted in myself.

[00:49:36] Oh no.

[00:49:37] My own brain failed me.

[00:49:43] It's a secret like rationality.

[00:49:46] Rationality.

[00:49:47] With this film, I feel it kind of goes out the window for me.

[00:49:50] And especially with Maxie.

[00:49:52] I love him so much.

[00:49:55] So when Shah Rukh says,

[00:49:56] I'm ready.

[00:49:57] You're like,

[00:49:57] I'm ready.

[00:50:02] Churi, either.

[00:50:03] Either churi, maaar.

[00:50:05] Let's get it.

[00:50:06] Let's get it.

[00:50:09] But it's just,

[00:50:10] I think,

[00:50:12] honestly,

[00:50:12] I think it's just,

[00:50:14] he's,

[00:50:15] again,

[00:50:15] I don't like comedy Shah Rukh,

[00:50:17] but I like him when he's like,

[00:50:18] sort of got this little bit vulnerability.

[00:50:20] And I think also just,

[00:50:21] this film,

[00:50:23] this film made me really wish I had a twin brother.

[00:50:28] I was like,

[00:50:28] now there's an option.

[00:50:32] But then also,

[00:50:33] after a point,

[00:50:34] I'm like,

[00:50:34] maybe this is a little bit incest.

[00:50:35] I was wondering,

[00:50:37] this is a swing.

[00:50:38] Like,

[00:50:38] A, he's doing it for me.

[00:50:40] And then second thought,

[00:50:41] I wish he was my twin brother.

[00:50:42] I don't know.

[00:50:43] I don't wish he was my twin brother.

[00:50:45] I wish I had a twin brother.

[00:50:48] But honestly,

[00:50:49] like,

[00:50:50] with Max and with Shah Rukh,

[00:50:52] and just in general,

[00:50:53] it's like,

[00:50:53] I think also one reason why I really do like this film,

[00:50:56] is because,

[00:50:57] we rarely see,

[00:51:00] twins,

[00:51:01] that are male and female.

[00:51:03] Like,

[00:51:03] I can literally only think of one other film,

[00:51:06] which is a Telugu film from 2016 or 17.

[00:51:09] I can't remember any other films where you have,

[00:51:12] like,

[00:51:13] fraternal twins,

[00:51:13] like,

[00:51:14] male and female.

[00:51:16] I generally just feel there's a lot of twin representation in Bollywood cinema,

[00:51:21] just in general.

[00:51:22] But not like this.

[00:51:24] Yeah,

[00:51:24] no,

[00:51:25] no,

[00:51:25] no,

[00:51:25] it's true.

[00:51:26] And not with the actors being nine years apart.

[00:51:28] And not alike at all,

[00:51:31] except for the blue contact lenses,

[00:51:33] which...

[00:51:33] And leather jackets.

[00:51:34] Yeah,

[00:51:35] and leather jackets.

[00:51:36] Yeah.

[00:51:36] It's also just funny,

[00:51:37] like,

[00:51:38] when you,

[00:51:38] it made me realize,

[00:51:40] when you put in fake contact lenses,

[00:51:42] how it really doesn't look like original blue eyes,

[00:51:44] you know,

[00:51:45] like,

[00:51:45] like,

[00:51:47] the Aishwarya's lights are like shining,

[00:51:49] like she's Superman,

[00:51:50] you know,

[00:51:51] like,

[00:51:51] red light coming out.

[00:51:53] And like,

[00:51:53] it's like,

[00:51:54] Shah Rukh,

[00:51:55] till midway of the movie,

[00:51:57] I was like,

[00:51:57] is he,

[00:51:58] is he wearing lenses?

[00:51:59] Like,

[00:51:59] I couldn't even make it out really.

[00:52:01] You know what was so funny to me,

[00:52:02] because I was like,

[00:52:03] this doesn't look real,

[00:52:04] but another film where he has blue contact lenses is Bazi Garh.

[00:52:08] Yeah.

[00:52:08] And I was like,

[00:52:09] in Bazi Garh,

[00:52:09] but the blue is so blue.

[00:52:11] Why couldn't they get those contact lenses?

[00:52:14] Yeah.

[00:52:16] But cat also has blue eyes.

[00:52:18] The cat's eyes are matching also.

[00:52:21] Amrita,

[00:52:21] was Maxi doing it for you?

[00:52:23] You know,

[00:52:24] for the past 20 years,

[00:52:26] like,

[00:52:27] every time I think of Josh,

[00:52:28] I just remember this one thing that,

[00:52:31] that,

[00:52:33] so my roommate in college was from Colombia.

[00:52:38] And so was a boyfriend.

[00:52:40] And I was showing them like various,

[00:52:42] like Bollywood movies.

[00:52:44] And one of the movies that they saw was Josh.

[00:52:47] And we got to the point where,

[00:52:50] you know,

[00:52:51] when Shah Rukh shoots Prakash,

[00:52:53] and then he had this little meltdown,

[00:52:54] he's just like,

[00:52:55] no,

[00:52:56] like,

[00:52:56] you know,

[00:52:56] and he's like,

[00:52:57] you know,

[00:52:57] it's very Shah Rukh.

[00:52:58] He's like hamming it up to the skies.

[00:53:01] Yeah.

[00:53:01] And he's like trembling.

[00:53:03] And like,

[00:53:03] he's like showing Aishwarya the gun.

[00:53:06] And he's just like,

[00:53:07] oh no,

[00:53:08] and everything.

[00:53:08] And I still remember one,

[00:53:10] like sitting next to me and going like,

[00:53:12] so he's a gangster who's afraid of guns.

[00:53:16] Like,

[00:53:17] what exactly is happening here?

[00:53:21] And I literally never like,

[00:53:24] like,

[00:53:25] obviously the Eagles and the Bichus are a gang,

[00:53:27] but I don't think of them as like a gang gang,

[00:53:30] you know,

[00:53:31] until that moment.

[00:53:32] And also I think like,

[00:53:34] it's a very Indian thing,

[00:53:35] right?

[00:53:35] Like the way,

[00:53:36] and especially it's that,

[00:53:37] that 80s,

[00:53:38] 90s sort of,

[00:53:41] like gangs in a Bollywood film,

[00:53:43] where it's just a mohle ke ladke,

[00:53:46] you know,

[00:53:47] like it's their recreational hobby club.

[00:53:52] And then they call it like a gang.

[00:53:56] And then you try to explain it to like people who are not Indian.

[00:53:59] And they're just like,

[00:54:00] a gang is like a criminal.

[00:54:03] Right?

[00:54:04] And you're just like,

[00:54:05] well,

[00:54:06] occasionally they'll do something criminal,

[00:54:08] like breaking glass maybe,

[00:54:10] but that is about as much as you expect of them.

[00:54:14] So it was just a,

[00:54:17] yeah.

[00:54:17] I just remember that little bit of cultural translation that I had to do 20 years ago.

[00:54:23] But yeah,

[00:54:24] Shah Rukh is terrible in this film.

[00:54:26] He's like,

[00:54:26] so like the,

[00:54:28] he's just such a bad actor.

[00:54:31] I can't,

[00:54:32] I cannot believe what a bad performance this is,

[00:54:35] but I do find it like he is hot,

[00:54:38] but he's also like,

[00:54:40] this is one of those bisexual roles that Shah Rukh used to do,

[00:54:43] you know,

[00:54:43] like back in the day,

[00:54:44] which he doesn't do anymore.

[00:54:46] Um,

[00:54:47] but in the nineties,

[00:54:48] there were just like these,

[00:54:50] like,

[00:54:50] you know,

[00:54:50] in this one,

[00:54:51] he's just cosplaying George Michael.

[00:54:53] And I'm 100% sure that my Shah Rukh was one of the last people to figure out that like George Michael was gay,

[00:55:00] maybe.

[00:55:01] Um,

[00:55:01] so he's got that little cross,

[00:55:03] you know,

[00:55:03] the earring and everything.

[00:55:05] And I was just like,

[00:55:06] oh yeah,

[00:55:07] oh yeah,

[00:55:07] I see,

[00:55:08] I see the vision.

[00:55:09] Um,

[00:55:10] but,

[00:55:11] uh,

[00:55:11] as a performance and as a character,

[00:55:13] I think Max is just terrible.

[00:55:15] Hmm.

[00:55:16] Sorry.

[00:55:17] Yes.

[00:55:18] Imagine being so.

[00:55:20] Age differences.

[00:55:22] Because you,

[00:55:23] you were a rational person already.

[00:55:32] Sujoy,

[00:55:33] were you ever dressed leather jacket?

[00:55:35] No.

[00:55:37] No earrings,

[00:55:38] nothing.

[00:55:39] Nothing.

[00:55:39] But imagine like being so naive and innocent that this is the epitome of masculinity for you.

[00:55:47] It's great.

[00:55:48] Uh,

[00:55:49] what a wonderful world would that be?

[00:55:51] What is getting revealed about,

[00:55:54] you know,

[00:55:56] Kings here?

[00:55:56] I remember one more thing is,

[00:56:00] I think it's been more than 20 years now,

[00:56:03] uh,

[00:56:04] when this movie came out,

[00:56:05] I think when set max launched their,

[00:56:08] one of their ad campaigns was,

[00:56:10] um,

[00:56:11] that whole scene with Aishwarya and Chandras Chur,

[00:56:14] where Chandras Chur is trying to introduce him.

[00:56:16] He's like,

[00:56:17] I'm coming to Vasko.

[00:56:18] Uh,

[00:56:20] what did you see?

[00:56:21] Shirley asked.

[00:56:22] And he says,

[00:56:22] market,

[00:56:23] church,

[00:56:24] beach,

[00:56:25] and Shirley asked,

[00:56:27] or max,

[00:56:28] and that becomes the set max ad.

[00:56:30] It was fantastic.

[00:56:32] That was a trip.

[00:56:33] Um,

[00:56:34] yeah,

[00:56:34] Shah Rukh is pretty much remembered just for the,

[00:56:36] either is kardalinga for me.

[00:56:39] That's the moment for me.

[00:56:40] No,

[00:56:41] but you know,

[00:56:41] Amrita,

[00:56:41] like what you're saying about like the gangs kind of make sense.

[00:56:44] Okay.

[00:56:45] Because I was like,

[00:56:46] Chandras Chur tells Shirley that his family has only been in Goa for two years,

[00:56:51] which means like,

[00:56:52] Prakash only came to Goa like two years ago.

[00:56:55] And he,

[00:56:56] like,

[00:56:57] so did the Eagle Gang,

[00:56:58] Bichu Gang rivalry start maybe like a year ago or a year and a half max ago?

[00:57:03] In which case,

[00:57:04] like,

[00:57:05] or did Prakash come,

[00:57:07] join Bichu Gang,

[00:57:08] go up the ranks?

[00:57:08] And also,

[00:57:09] I'm really thinking about it like the ages don't make sense.

[00:57:12] Okay.

[00:57:12] Because Shirley's in college,

[00:57:14] Max is her twin brother.

[00:57:15] So I'm assuming he's also college age,

[00:57:17] but Chandras Chur has done a mass food design and Prakash is older than him.

[00:57:23] So is Prakash like a man in his thirties fighting with like a 20 year old?

[00:57:30] And losing.

[00:57:32] And losing.

[00:57:37] I was like,

[00:57:38] that is so hard to say.

[00:57:39] I was like,

[00:57:39] it is like a lot more.

[00:57:43] Oh no,

[00:57:44] nostalgia crumbling.

[00:57:46] Yeah.

[00:57:49] Which is,

[00:57:49] which is also then so funny when you think about how Prakash and his mom are like stuck into Goa.

[00:57:55] Like,

[00:57:55] you know,

[00:57:55] he's like,

[00:57:56] let's go to Bombay.

[00:57:57] We'll have a better life.

[00:57:58] And then we'll die.

[00:57:59] I was like,

[00:57:59] you came here two years ago.

[00:58:01] Why are you attached so much to this?

[00:58:03] It's already.

[00:58:04] It's,

[00:58:04] it's quite hilarious.

[00:58:07] Yeah.

[00:58:08] It's,

[00:58:09] yeah.

[00:58:09] I mean,

[00:58:10] this movie hinges on Shah Rukh,

[00:58:12] right?

[00:58:13] And I think that's where it's not working for me.

[00:58:16] I think that it's not,

[00:58:18] it's not my favorite Shah Rukh performance.

[00:58:21] Like,

[00:58:21] like the hotness doesn't do much for me necessarily.

[00:58:25] If it was Salman,

[00:58:26] it would be a different story,

[00:58:27] but

[00:58:29] that would be more incestuous.

[00:58:31] I'd already want the chemistry.

[00:58:33] Yeah.

[00:58:34] But then you switch out,

[00:58:36] you switch out,

[00:58:38] Ashwarya,

[00:58:38] right?

[00:58:39] But although it's funny,

[00:58:40] like Ashwarya was the first they picked,

[00:58:41] like they were like Ashwarya and then the rest we build around.

[00:58:44] Exactly.

[00:58:45] Um,

[00:58:46] but,

[00:58:46] uh,

[00:58:47] I think the conf,

[00:58:48] the way the,

[00:58:49] the stories is like a musical,

[00:58:52] right?

[00:58:52] I think that's kind of the,

[00:58:53] the inherent silliness.

[00:58:55] And I think that's also what speaks to Amrita's friend's point about,

[00:58:59] you know,

[00:58:59] they're gangsters,

[00:59:00] but they also get,

[00:59:01] you know,

[00:59:03] afraid of guns,

[00:59:04] afraid of guns,

[00:59:05] which like,

[00:59:05] I think,

[00:59:06] uh,

[00:59:07] Maxi just wanted a gun to make omelets with,

[00:59:09] you know,

[00:59:10] like that's the reason why he had the gun.

[00:59:12] Also,

[00:59:12] also the way he was doing that,

[00:59:15] I'm like,

[00:59:15] this is all shells up in that omelet right now.

[00:59:17] Like there is no way you don't have shells in that omelet.

[00:59:21] Yeah.

[00:59:23] But yeah,

[00:59:24] that was,

[00:59:24] I actually had that as a point because I'm like,

[00:59:26] how many shells?

[00:59:27] Like I get one shell in my omelet,

[00:59:28] I get angry.

[00:59:30] Speaking of food,

[00:59:31] did you see that melon that,

[00:59:32] uh,

[00:59:33] Chandrachur carved for?

[00:59:34] Food design.

[00:59:35] Yeah,

[00:59:36] food design.

[00:59:37] Like,

[00:59:39] yeah,

[00:59:41] yeah,

[00:59:41] this is like,

[00:59:41] just like showing off your degree,

[00:59:43] right?

[00:59:43] Like that's what he's doing.

[00:59:45] Like,

[00:59:45] he can do this.

[00:59:47] Um,

[00:59:48] yeah.

[00:59:48] All his cakes look shit too.

[00:59:51] I don't know.

[00:59:53] That is 90s India.

[00:59:55] Okay.

[00:59:56] Yeah.

[00:59:57] That's the cakes you guys used to eat.

[00:59:59] It's like pineapple ice cream and chocolate.

[01:00:01] The Belgian has arrived.

[01:00:04] Yeah.

[01:00:05] Come on in the village.

[01:00:08] I still like pineapple ice cream.

[01:00:10] Okay.

[01:00:11] It's really tasty.

[01:00:13] I,

[01:00:13] I remember I went to,

[01:00:15] like when we went to Pakistan,

[01:00:16] they,

[01:00:17] like one of my cousins opened up a bakery.

[01:00:20] It was like a massive hit.

[01:00:21] Like,

[01:00:21] like it was like this cousin of mine.

[01:00:24] He is like,

[01:00:25] he used to be like,

[01:00:26] he used to be Maxi bear pretty much.

[01:00:28] Like the Raja of his area.

[01:00:30] Like people love whatever he's done.

[01:00:32] He's been a massive success.

[01:00:33] At a moment they had a bakery.

[01:00:35] And at that time,

[01:00:36] the first time I had heard of a pineapple ice cream cake,

[01:00:40] uh,

[01:00:41] which was a big hype at that time.

[01:00:42] And I was so disappointed when I ate it because there was like the pineapple was shit.

[01:00:47] There was no ice cream.

[01:00:48] Like what I had imagined in my head was not what I got delivered.

[01:00:52] So maybe my frustration stems back from then about baking,

[01:00:56] baking.

[01:00:57] It's not about Chandrachur Singh.

[01:00:59] Don't bake it personal.

[01:01:03] Yeah.

[01:01:04] Yeah.

[01:01:05] Um,

[01:01:05] yeah.

[01:01:06] So yeah.

[01:01:06] Shit bakery though.

[01:01:08] I felt bad for,

[01:01:09] uh,

[01:01:10] Pascal ki bakery,

[01:01:11] right?

[01:01:11] Like capitalism just did him in,

[01:01:13] you know,

[01:01:13] it was like,

[01:01:14] it was like,

[01:01:16] me and bakery Chandrachur.

[01:01:17] That bit,

[01:01:18] I don't understand how the borders are working in this land though,

[01:01:21] because they're in bakeries across the street.

[01:01:24] Yeah.

[01:01:25] I'm like,

[01:01:25] is the,

[01:01:26] like,

[01:01:26] you know,

[01:01:27] the ilaka between like,

[01:01:29] is that where the border is that middle of that road?

[01:01:32] But then we have,

[01:01:33] we see a border wall,

[01:01:34] which is by the meidan.

[01:01:35] So I'm like,

[01:01:35] how do the borders work in Vasco?

[01:01:38] Yeah.

[01:01:38] It seemed like a U shaped border.

[01:01:41] Like the meidan was in the middle next to the sea.

[01:01:43] And then you had this U shape of different areas or something like that.

[01:01:48] I don't,

[01:01:48] I didn't understand this whole part.

[01:01:50] The geography didn't make sense.

[01:01:55] It's two years.

[01:01:57] exactly.

[01:01:57] That's what I'm saying.

[01:02:00] Prakash is a visionary.

[01:02:02] Yeah,

[01:02:05] but he's 45 now.

[01:02:06] So like,

[01:02:08] he gets,

[01:02:09] he gets things done quicker.

[01:02:14] It's like these children don't understand bureaucracy.

[01:02:17] Exactly.

[01:02:18] That's why his whole business is about fake contracts and stuff like that.

[01:02:22] Max can't be bothered with any of that,

[01:02:24] you know?

[01:02:25] What does Max do?

[01:02:27] Is he,

[01:02:27] is he,

[01:02:28] I thought he's a mechanic,

[01:02:29] right?

[01:02:30] Or does he just only do his bike?

[01:02:32] I think he does only his bike.

[01:02:34] So surely he's going to college and Max is like,

[01:02:37] I'm just like Eagle Gang.

[01:02:38] His job is beach.

[01:02:42] It's that.

[01:02:44] What did you think about the soundtrack of this movie?

[01:02:48] I freaking love it,

[01:02:49] man.

[01:02:50] Can I,

[01:02:51] before we,

[01:02:51] I have to say something has happened in my brain.

[01:02:54] I've made this statement a few times,

[01:02:56] but I was again watching that Lehre episode and I should stop doing that.

[01:03:00] Because every time in this making of,

[01:03:02] you have a moment where Anu Malik comes in and then he talks.

[01:03:08] And then he sings his great song that we remember,

[01:03:11] but he sings it in his voice.

[01:03:13] Yeah.

[01:03:13] So it's now ruined forever.

[01:03:15] Everything.

[01:03:16] So like he sings Apun Bola,

[01:03:19] Sai Laru and Hai Re Mera Dil.

[01:03:21] And I can only hear Anu Malik behind his harmonium singing these songs.

[01:03:27] And I cannot appreciate them anymore.

[01:03:33] Stop messing with my,

[01:03:35] Oh my God.

[01:03:37] I never,

[01:03:37] Sai Naru,

[01:03:38] Kya Bola,

[01:03:39] Pira Bola,

[01:03:40] Re?

[01:03:41] Oh my God.

[01:03:43] Oh my God.

[01:03:44] That's exactly.

[01:03:46] But you know what I noticed?

[01:03:47] Like in,

[01:03:48] in this,

[01:03:48] in the credits,

[01:03:49] Shah Rukh gets top billing as playback singer.

[01:03:51] Yeah,

[01:03:52] why not?

[01:03:53] Yeah.

[01:03:55] How many songs are Shah Rukh's son?

[01:03:56] Only one?

[01:03:57] Did he just do this one?

[01:03:59] I don't think that's enough.

[01:04:00] Like,

[01:04:00] why would you want more after listening to this?

[01:04:07] I like Apun Bola.

[01:04:08] I like Apun Bola.

[01:04:11] I think he did a better job than Aati Ka Khandala,

[01:04:13] to be honest.

[01:04:14] Hey,

[01:04:16] this is where I draw the line.

[01:04:18] He did better than A. Shivani.

[01:04:23] Did he do better than Chandi Khandala?

[01:04:28] That's a question for Asim Barney.

[01:04:30] That's a question for Amrita.

[01:04:32] She said entire thesis on that song.

[01:04:35] The thing is,

[01:04:36] Salman is still singing,

[01:04:37] guys.

[01:04:38] Yes.

[01:04:39] he's been like,

[01:04:42] you know,

[01:04:44] hangover.

[01:04:46] Shah Rukh was like,

[01:04:47] in and out.

[01:04:48] Although I'm looking at here,

[01:04:49] and he did apparently six songs,

[01:04:51] which I had no,

[01:04:52] I mean,

[01:04:53] they're not really songs.

[01:04:54] He did one song during the pandemic,

[01:04:56] remember?

[01:04:57] Oh,

[01:04:57] right,

[01:04:58] right,

[01:04:58] right.

[01:04:59] His version of Imagine,

[01:05:01] like,

[01:05:01] the Shah Rukh of Imagine is what I wanted.

[01:05:04] Oh,

[01:05:04] my God.

[01:05:05] I did not listen to this.

[01:05:08] The many,

[01:05:08] the many layers of suffering that we had to go through during the pandemic,

[01:05:13] right?

[01:05:13] like the original Imagine and the Shah Rukh's version.

[01:05:17] I said,

[01:05:18] I didn't listen to it.

[01:05:22] But what's your favorite,

[01:05:24] Asim,

[01:05:24] of the soundtrack?

[01:05:26] I still listen to High Rage Meera Dil.

[01:05:29] Like,

[01:05:29] this is the one I still,

[01:05:30] still listen to.

[01:05:32] Like,

[01:05:32] Udet Narayan with lots of polo in his diet.

[01:05:36] Like,

[01:05:37] so mint fresh.

[01:05:38] He,

[01:05:39] like,

[01:05:39] he sounds so mint fresh.

[01:05:41] Yeah.

[01:05:41] No,

[01:05:41] but that is also one that I,

[01:05:43] I think is there regularly as opposed to the other ones.

[01:05:47] But also,

[01:05:48] this is also one of those soundtracks where Abhi Ji didn't sing for Shah Rukh.

[01:05:53] He sang for Chandrachur.

[01:05:54] Yeah.

[01:05:55] But yeah,

[01:05:56] like,

[01:05:57] that's the one problem also.

[01:05:58] Like,

[01:05:58] all the good songs are wasted on Chandrachur.

[01:06:01] Shah Rukh doesn't get,

[01:06:02] like,

[01:06:03] the good songs either,

[01:06:04] right?

[01:06:04] In this one,

[01:06:04] he gets Sailaru.

[01:06:07] Apunbola,

[01:06:07] which he's doing himself.

[01:06:10] So,

[01:06:10] let's rewind.

[01:06:12] You said it's better than Aati Kha Khandala?

[01:06:15] I'm joking,

[01:06:17] guys.

[01:06:17] okay.

[01:06:18] I was like,

[01:06:19] wait,

[01:06:19] what's it?

[01:06:21] Because clearly,

[01:06:22] that's what it's emulating,

[01:06:23] right?

[01:06:23] Like,

[01:06:23] it clearly is coded as,

[01:06:26] you know,

[01:06:26] Aati Kha Khandala.

[01:06:27] Shah Rukh's answer to Aati Khandala.

[01:06:29] Yeah.

[01:06:29] And it's nowhere that good.

[01:06:31] Like,

[01:06:31] I,

[01:06:32] it's better than I remembered.

[01:06:34] I have to say,

[01:06:35] in my mind,

[01:06:36] this song was much worse.

[01:06:38] But what makes it better is probably Aishwari,

[01:06:41] I feel.

[01:06:42] You know,

[01:06:43] like,

[01:06:43] she's really fun,

[01:06:44] I feel,

[01:06:44] in this song.

[01:06:45] And like,

[01:06:46] putting on this,

[01:06:46] like,

[01:06:47] Gowan accent.

[01:06:48] Sung by,

[01:06:49] who is it?

[01:06:50] Hema Sardasai.

[01:06:51] Who is actually Gowan?

[01:06:52] Ah,

[01:06:53] okay,

[01:06:53] okay.

[01:06:54] Yeah.

[01:06:54] I like her.

[01:06:55] Where did she go?

[01:06:56] Like,

[01:06:56] she had a lot of good songs in that time,

[01:06:59] no?

[01:06:59] Yeah,

[01:06:59] yeah,

[01:07:00] yeah.

[01:07:00] She sang,

[01:07:01] Aawara Bhavre,

[01:07:02] from Sapne,

[01:07:03] and all that.

[01:07:03] She sang,

[01:07:04] Jungle Hai Adirath.

[01:07:05] See,

[01:07:06] all my favorites.

[01:07:07] No,

[01:07:07] Jungle Hai Adirath is Anuradha Sriram,

[01:07:09] no?

[01:07:09] No,

[01:07:10] I'm pretty sure Jungle Hai Adirath is Hema Sardasai.

[01:07:14] Hmm.

[01:07:15] Do you want to pay for money?

[01:07:18] I don't know.

[01:07:19] I'm not that confident.

[01:07:23] Amrit,

[01:07:24] what were your favorite songs?

[01:07:25] It was Hema Sardasai.

[01:07:26] You are right.

[01:07:28] I am very thankful.

[01:07:30] You're always angry in my brain,

[01:07:31] man.

[01:07:31] Like,

[01:07:32] I just can't like,

[01:07:33] Anuradha Sriram was chunari chunari.

[01:07:35] At some point,

[01:07:36] Sujoy is going to be just working,

[01:07:38] so he can pay off Yamini.

[01:07:43] Sujoy will be like,

[01:07:45] I'm going to calm down,

[01:07:46] because I have a lot of money.

[01:07:49] Udhar ki zindagi.

[01:07:52] It's like,

[01:07:53] you know how in 1930s,

[01:07:55] you had like all of these people that were addicted,

[01:07:57] addicted to gambling,

[01:07:58] and then they had to get,

[01:07:59] you know,

[01:07:59] people punch him to get the money.

[01:08:01] Basically,

[01:08:02] I'm Parish Rawal from Hira,

[01:08:03] baby.

[01:08:04] Exactly.

[01:08:05] You're just addicted to gambling,

[01:08:07] and Yamini has to cash in,

[01:08:08] you know.

[01:08:11] And she's not,

[01:08:11] she doesn't know too many gundas in London,

[01:08:14] so she's going to have to hire me,

[01:08:15] and I'll have to complete you up,

[01:08:16] man.

[01:08:16] Like,

[01:08:17] what is going to,

[01:08:17] this is not a good situation for me either.

[01:08:19] Sujoy pay off,

[01:08:20] please.

[01:08:23] Bhai,

[01:08:23] bhai ko marega.

[01:08:25] Wow.

[01:08:27] I'm having to watch what day.

[01:08:28] I'm having to watch.

[01:08:31] I'm having to watch.

[01:08:32] Oh,

[01:08:32] God.

[01:08:33] Oh,

[01:08:33] I did not know this podcast would be derailed the way it has derailed.

[01:08:39] Amrita,

[01:08:39] what's your favorite song from the soundtrack?

[01:08:43] Very slick.

[01:08:44] Very slick.

[01:08:45] Thank you.

[01:08:46] I like Sailoroo,

[01:08:47] Sailoray.

[01:08:48] I like Hire Meera Dil.

[01:08:50] But,

[01:08:50] but Hire Meera Dil,

[01:08:51] like,

[01:08:52] when I,

[01:08:53] like,

[01:08:54] I don't watch the video of it,

[01:08:56] like,

[01:08:56] I listen to it.

[01:08:58] And I imagine it as a Shahrukh Aishwarya song.

[01:09:02] Yeah.

[01:09:04] I don't,

[01:09:05] I don't,

[01:09:06] like,

[01:09:07] yeah,

[01:09:07] because like,

[01:09:08] like,

[01:09:08] this was the first time in a very long time that I saw Hire Meera Dil in video format.

[01:09:15] Sailoroo,

[01:09:16] Sailoray is fun.

[01:09:18] Like,

[01:09:18] it's actually,

[01:09:19] like,

[01:09:20] I don't listen to it very often,

[01:09:22] but the few times that it comes,

[01:09:24] you know,

[01:09:25] in my algorithm,

[01:09:25] I'll watch it.

[01:09:27] And it's always fun,

[01:09:29] you know,

[01:09:29] it's like,

[01:09:29] it has that 90s energy about it,

[01:09:32] you know.

[01:09:33] Yeah.

[01:09:33] That Carnival song is the same,

[01:09:35] like,

[01:09:35] it's just chaotic,

[01:09:36] like the,

[01:09:37] I know Farah did the choreography,

[01:09:39] but it's so chaotic.

[01:09:41] And it's very charming in that 90s.

[01:09:44] And Sharad Kapoor trying his best.

[01:09:46] Yes.

[01:09:47] Sailoroo's entry is the one that I think most West Side Story,

[01:09:50] because there's a bit where they're all snapping their fingers.

[01:09:54] Inspiration.

[01:09:55] Yeah.

[01:09:55] I also feel like the other,

[01:09:57] except Sailoroo,

[01:09:58] it's,

[01:09:58] it feels like this is that era of Anu Malik,

[01:10:01] where A.R. Rahman had come on scene,

[01:10:03] and Anu Malik is like,

[01:10:04] oh shit,

[01:10:05] I need to do something.

[01:10:06] And he really changed his sound.

[01:10:09] And I think this,

[01:10:10] the high rate would not have existed if A.R. Rahman had not,

[01:10:13] like,

[01:10:13] shaking the core of,

[01:10:15] you know,

[01:10:16] Bollywood film composers,

[01:10:18] you know.

[01:10:18] Otherwise,

[01:10:18] they would still be making music like Dilte Rache at the end of the day,

[01:10:21] you know.

[01:10:21] Like,

[01:10:22] A.R. Rahman just put the fear of God

[01:10:25] in all of these composers to kind of,

[01:10:27] you know,

[01:10:27] change their game a little bit.

[01:10:29] I have to point,

[01:10:30] sorry,

[01:10:30] go ahead.

[01:10:31] No,

[01:10:31] I was just saying with Apun Bola,

[01:10:33] right?

[01:10:33] I mean,

[01:10:33] I think this is,

[01:10:35] I've been thinking about this a lot,

[01:10:36] because basically a couple of years ago,

[01:10:38] when like AIB was still,

[01:10:39] you know,

[01:10:40] pretty big,

[01:10:41] right?

[01:10:41] And they had done this video with Vicky Kaushal.

[01:10:45] Yeah.

[01:10:45] I saw that one recently.

[01:10:48] The wonder was harassment.

[01:10:48] So,

[01:10:49] they did a bit which was on Apun Bola.

[01:10:51] And I was just,

[01:10:52] when I was listening to Apun Bola,

[01:10:53] I was thinking of the lyrics to that,

[01:10:55] because I just,

[01:10:55] and I was like,

[01:10:56] wow,

[01:10:57] like,

[01:10:58] this is a pretty harassing song.

[01:11:00] It's just,

[01:11:01] it's just,

[01:11:02] it's just,

[01:11:03] yeah.

[01:11:04] Yeah.

[01:11:05] Yeah.

[01:11:06] I don't know how to segue from this,

[01:11:07] what I was about to say.

[01:11:10] Okay.

[01:11:12] Tu bol,

[01:11:13] tu dil khol ke bol suja.

[01:11:14] I was going to say about the Mansurism of all of it.

[01:11:18] I like,

[01:11:19] I wanted to just segue to one thing,

[01:11:22] which is Mansur,

[01:11:25] kind of likes the whole garage aesthetic.

[01:11:28] And that's why you were in Jojita Vahihse Kandar,

[01:11:31] you get Ayesha Julka working in the garage.

[01:11:33] And in Amir's sort of dream sequence,

[01:11:37] he sees the Marilyn Monroe aesthetic of Pooja Bedi on the car.

[01:11:41] And here you see Shah Rukh dancing in Saila Ruh Saila Rai in the garage.

[01:11:46] That's what I wanted to point out.

[01:11:49] Yeah.

[01:11:50] Yeah.

[01:11:50] That is a tough segue,

[01:11:51] man.

[01:11:53] From me too,

[01:11:54] to that.

[01:11:54] Yeah.

[01:11:56] Oh,

[01:11:56] good.

[01:11:57] But I mean,

[01:11:57] one thing,

[01:11:58] which is like with Mansur Khan,

[01:12:00] because this was his last film and inspired from West Side Story,

[01:12:04] which was in turn inspired from Romeo and Juliet,

[01:12:06] just like his first film,

[01:12:07] he really came full circle and was like,

[01:12:09] no,

[01:12:09] the point was good,

[01:12:11] now it's finished.

[01:12:13] Yeah.

[01:12:14] Yeah.

[01:12:14] No more stories to tell,

[01:12:15] I feel like.

[01:12:16] But it's funny with that,

[01:12:18] again,

[01:12:18] I'm referring to that Lehre interview is like,

[01:12:21] he seems really stressed in that,

[01:12:23] like,

[01:12:24] you know,

[01:12:24] like,

[01:12:24] like he,

[01:12:25] he feels like he's not like Bollywood doesn't seem his place anymore.

[01:12:29] Like he feels really out of place.

[01:12:31] And I think he was just done at that time.

[01:12:34] And it's a shame because he,

[01:12:35] he had like,

[01:12:36] you know,

[01:12:36] he made good movies.

[01:12:38] Like all of them stand the test of time,

[01:12:41] except maybe Josh,

[01:12:42] I would say to a certain degree,

[01:12:43] Akele Hum,

[01:12:44] Akele Tum.

[01:12:45] Oh,

[01:12:45] right.

[01:12:45] Right.

[01:12:45] That was awesome.

[01:12:46] The best part of Akele Hum,

[01:12:48] Akele Tum was Amir dancing as a backstreet boy in Aisa Zakham Diyaya.

[01:12:52] That's what I mean.

[01:12:55] With the upside.

[01:12:57] Yeah.

[01:12:58] With the.

[01:13:00] Masta ne chalo.

[01:13:01] He's,

[01:13:02] he raps in that as well.

[01:13:03] Yeah.

[01:13:05] But yeah,

[01:13:06] anyway,

[01:13:06] again,

[01:13:07] D really.

[01:13:09] Yeah.

[01:13:10] But Jojita Vaisikandar and Kiamat Sikaram,

[01:13:12] like honestly solid films.

[01:13:14] Like Jojita is one of my favorites of like all time.

[01:13:17] And I,

[01:13:18] I really,

[01:13:19] I really do wish we had seen him more,

[01:13:21] but also I think he,

[01:13:22] I see him as an inspiration.

[01:13:24] I'm like,

[01:13:24] he's like,

[01:13:25] Karna Taha Jo Kia,

[01:13:26] Abhi Mein Organic Farming Karega.

[01:13:28] Yeah.

[01:13:29] Also it's like,

[01:13:30] I think it's,

[01:13:31] it's that problem where he,

[01:13:33] he's very much of that era.

[01:13:35] I don't think it's,

[01:13:36] it's probably a guy that could have adapted to the new kind of era that was coming,

[01:13:41] the Aditya Chopra and all that kind of thing.

[01:13:43] And you feel like,

[01:13:44] you know,

[01:13:44] there is definitely something old school in its filmmaking where this was afterwards,

[01:13:49] then really the Karan Johors and the Suraj Barjatyas and all of these kind,

[01:13:55] Aditya Chopra,

[01:13:56] they came on the scene and it really changed the landscape,

[01:14:00] you know,

[01:14:00] it became like an NRI kind of audience.

[01:14:03] Whereas I don't,

[01:14:05] this feels,

[01:14:05] all of the movies we've mentioned,

[01:14:07] they're all like very local stories,

[01:14:09] right?

[01:14:09] And maybe that,

[01:14:11] that timing that he couldn't like scale it up his cinema or his storytelling necessarily.

[01:14:18] Yeah.

[01:14:19] Any other notes that we missed out?

[01:14:20] Anything else you want to talk about,

[01:14:22] Josh?

[01:14:23] I was just,

[01:14:24] my eyes went on a IMDB review,

[01:14:28] which has the title,

[01:14:31] Aham Bhi Hai Josh Mai.

[01:14:32] And remembering Amrita showed it to her college friends,

[01:14:36] they would have pronounced it very differently.

[01:14:38] So it sounds like,

[01:14:39] Aham Bhi Hai Josh Mai.

[01:14:41] It's very hard to Google this movie in general.

[01:14:44] You have like all of the Joshes come on,

[01:14:47] like it's hard to find something.

[01:14:49] You have to like put in the right keywords.

[01:14:50] Josh 2000.

[01:14:51] Yeah.

[01:14:53] Yeah.

[01:14:55] Amini,

[01:14:56] any final things,

[01:14:57] any things that we didn't discuss?

[01:14:58] Do you want to talk about 10 minutes about the CGI rat that was in the bakery?

[01:15:03] Oh God.

[01:15:03] Rat house.

[01:15:06] I,

[01:15:06] yeah,

[01:15:07] no.

[01:15:09] One thing also that did confuse me,

[01:15:12] like again,

[01:15:13] like I said,

[01:15:15] Sharad Kapoor has only been in Kua for two years.

[01:15:18] So how did his Hindi become all Tapori and like Chandrachi was not?

[01:15:22] Vasco has that effect.

[01:15:26] But he,

[01:15:26] but the thing is,

[01:15:27] his is not like the,

[01:15:29] uh,

[01:15:30] the Catholic one.

[01:15:33] Taporin is that,

[01:15:34] you know,

[01:15:35] uh,

[01:15:35] that obviously Bollywood,

[01:15:37] like that stereotype that Bollywood,

[01:15:39] um,

[01:15:40] you know,

[01:15:41] utilize a lot,

[01:15:41] which I genuinely only think the person that kind of really pulled that off was Amitabh

[01:15:46] and Amar Akbar Anthony.

[01:15:47] I don't think anyone else can actually.

[01:15:49] He's bringing the Mumbai Tapori kind of thing to.

[01:15:51] Yeah.

[01:15:52] Without sounding offensive,

[01:15:53] like,

[01:15:54] um,

[01:15:56] I,

[01:15:56] yeah,

[01:15:57] but I,

[01:15:57] I mean,

[01:15:57] I still maintain,

[01:15:58] I think Shah Rukh had,

[01:15:59] uh,

[01:16:00] chemistry with Priya.

[01:16:03] I know,

[01:16:04] I know you're judging me,

[01:16:05] but there's this one scene where I was like,

[01:16:06] but again,

[01:16:07] I feel like if I say it,

[01:16:08] I'm like,

[01:16:08] yeah,

[01:16:08] this is very much a childhood me that,

[01:16:12] uh,

[01:16:12] for that Abby,

[01:16:13] if I saw that now,

[01:16:14] I'd be like,

[01:16:14] chipde,

[01:16:15] like,

[01:16:17] like,

[01:16:20] leave her alone,

[01:16:21] please.

[01:16:21] Like she's like promising future.

[01:16:26] But,

[01:16:26] uh,

[01:16:27] I mean,

[01:16:27] yeah,

[01:16:28] I,

[01:16:28] I do one scene.

[01:16:30] I think that has like,

[01:16:31] even though I haven't seen all these years,

[01:16:33] I think one memory that really sticks with me is the scene where Shah Rukh and Aishwarya are dancing in the house.

[01:16:41] That,

[01:16:42] in all the chemistry that felt like a very sibling moment.

[01:16:45] Hmm.

[01:16:47] But again,

[01:16:48] when he's dressed like,

[01:16:50] when he has the cape on,

[01:16:52] yeah,

[01:16:52] doing a carnival rehearsal.

[01:16:55] Yeah,

[01:16:55] yeah,

[01:16:55] yeah,

[01:16:56] that's,

[01:16:56] that's kind of fun.

[01:16:58] Amrita,

[01:16:58] any final things we didn't discuss about Josh?

[01:17:01] Um,

[01:17:03] can we just talk about how janky that,

[01:17:07] statue of,

[01:17:08] uh,

[01:17:09] Vasco was.

[01:17:11] like,

[01:17:12] Aishwarya and,

[01:17:13] uh,

[01:17:13] Shah Rukh's dad was,

[01:17:15] like,

[01:17:15] that was,

[01:17:16] like,

[01:17:17] a befitting hate crime against a colonizer.

[01:17:20] Abit had mentioned it when you had gone,

[01:17:22] or it looks like it's made out of thermakol.

[01:17:25] It doesn't look like it's a real,

[01:17:27] even when they're,

[01:17:28] like,

[01:17:29] erecting the statue,

[01:17:30] I mean,

[01:17:30] it's not so easy,

[01:17:31] it can't be a metal statue.

[01:17:34] Plaster of Paris,

[01:17:35] it's not even budget.

[01:17:37] Thermakol.

[01:17:40] Oh,

[01:17:40] God.

[01:17:41] It's also,

[01:17:42] like,

[01:17:43] the last movie of Nadira.

[01:17:46] That's,

[01:17:46] yeah,

[01:17:46] that was what I was going to say.

[01:17:47] Sad.

[01:17:50] Sad that this was her last.

[01:17:52] Yeah,

[01:17:52] actually,

[01:17:52] for someone who was,

[01:17:53] like,

[01:17:54] so pivotal

[01:17:55] for indie cinema,

[01:17:56] it's so sad that this is,

[01:17:57] I have to agree.

[01:17:59] Yeah.

[01:17:59] Yeah.

[01:18:00] Um,

[01:18:02] but,

[01:18:02] yeah.

[01:18:02] Okay,

[01:18:03] I guess that's it for Josh.

[01:18:05] Um,

[01:18:06] I go,

[01:18:06] I'm,

[01:18:07] I'm hoping we got it all out of our system.

[01:18:11] No Josh left.

[01:18:12] There is no Josh left.

[01:18:14] No,

[01:18:14] but I have to say,

[01:18:15] what was so funny is,

[01:18:16] like,

[01:18:17] uh,

[01:18:17] so,

[01:18:18] a couple of,

[01:18:19] like,

[01:18:20] when I was,

[01:18:21] like,

[01:18:21] again,

[01:18:21] like,

[01:18:21] asking Asam,

[01:18:48] I don't know.

[01:18:50] Yeah.

[01:18:51] I'm sure,

[01:18:52] I'm sure there are other people,

[01:18:54] Yamini would willingly join you,

[01:18:57] and want to join Eagle Gang,

[01:18:58] or Bitchu Gang.

[01:18:59] I'm sure there are.
