We've talked with him. We've broken bread with Anog. >> We don't care. >> He doesn't care. He's an artist. >> Um obviously we >> It's funny to us that someone so talented >> has this pattern of not doing well at the box office. >> People think that just because your movie doesn't make money that it's a bad movie. >> Yep. It's just like people who don't have money are bad people. >> You can have a movie that doesn't make money and it is a bad movie. I mean, commiserate. The more money you have, the better the person you are, >> right? >> Yeah. >> And the less money you have, the worse you are. >> My favorite people are billionaires. [snorts] >> Absolutely. And the poor suck. >> Oh, I don't even go near. >> Who wants to be around the poor? They stink with their poorness. >> Oh my goodness. >> Hell hath no fury. >> Turn the ringer off, bro. Do not disturb mode. So, we didn't even what? We didn't even finish having sex. >> Oh, jeez. All right, >> you're done. >> One second. Producer got >> block. >> I missed it. >> You know what you should do? Accuse him of rape. >> Whoa. Calm down, Tom. Don't pull out the knife. >> You got to go up a river, not across stream. He always makes it a point to teach you the right way to kill yourself when these scenes come up. Have you noticed? Please, please talk to me. Please. >> I said stay away from me. Please, just once. Just Just stop calling me. Please let me finish your house. Please don't. >> If I see you again, I will call the cops. >> You'll call the cops. What? Cops? [ __ ] You with me? I'll have you, you [ __ ] Get out of your bubble. I hope you find your peace. That's it. Oh, wow. [screaming] Wow. >> [panting] >> attack. [ __ ] rapist. Two weeks [music] later, Come out of your bubble. [clears throat] forchech. I'm sorry. Can >> nice. Nice job. Very nice. Very, very nice. >> And on your back to form. >> Yep. Back to form. >> Back to form. >> That was also just like a unexpected kind of a movie, right? Obviously, most of his movies have something to do with cops. A lot of his movies, right? >> Cops and crime. >> Yeah. >> Um and how corrupt the police force justice system is. That's a that's a through line for him through a lot of Absolutely. Right. >> Yep. >> Um but to take this angle of it of um obviously especially at this time obviously we're a couple years removed of you know the Me Too movements and and that kind of stuff. But >> to take that kind of premise to where everybody would be like, "Oh yeah, he probably did it." And then you kind of unweave the story in such a way that you're like, "I I guess he probably didn't do it." >> Mhm. But you still don't fully know because you're just going from his perspective for the most part. >> Correct. >> And then obviously ending on what do you think he's basically >> the perspective he's presenting to everybody >> just like everybody else in the prison is. >> Right. Right. >> Everybody else in the prison's innocent. >> Right. >> Obvious. So it's up to you as the audience to to kind of determine what you think. I mean then obviously it kind of just ruined him and he just became part of the system and he's now the dawn and it's like kind of going crazy. You kind of understand that guy that that's just crying in the jail cell. >> Yep. Maybe he the same thing happened. >> Yeah. >> Uh to to that man. >> Yeah. And it either it either breaks you like the guy who kills himself or it makes you and you become like the leaders of each of the coups. >> Yeah. >> I I I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. >> I did too. I really enjoyed it. It was it was a gold with blue diamonds for me. I thought it was exceptional on so many levels. the writing obviously Ana Rag is such a stellar writer and he does stuff that we just don't see enough of in Indian cinema particularly in Hindi cinema >> where he covers things that are just I said it while we were watching it that are just raw honest um unfiltered uh life you know that that other people get angry about like the guy you know of, you know, you're ruining our culture. Yeah. Really? Are the honest people that are being that are that are that are holding up a mirror being the ones that are ruining the culture? >> Yeah. >> Uh and being honest about what it means to be human. It's like even things like it it would be controversial. Sadly, it's like, oh my goodness, they talked about orgasms and choking during an orgasm. That's so edgy. >> Yeah. >> It's it's >> Yeah. >> human behavior. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Um but >> and he's just a great writer, director. >> He I love One of my favorite parts about Anaurog is he's a very good dialogue writer. Always. I think that's how he started I believe, right? Great dialogue writer. He's a dialogue writer. And so he just the way he writes it's like >> that seems so believable. It's not exposition. [clears throat] It's just >> unique. And >> I I like I [snorts] one of my favorite scenes was the cop scene in the beginning >> when he meets the cop for the first time. Yeah. And that actor did a phenomenal job, by the way. That a phenomenal job by that actor. And I think we've seen that guy a few times. He's a he's a really good actor, >> but he just knows how to like write a scene and make it like cool and [snorts] interesting and um just you sit there with the tension, you know? Is that right tension? Hold the fort. What >> on IMDb? >> I don't know who the co-director is here. >> It says Abashek Banerjee and Sudep Sharma. >> It does not give a writing credit to Anorashi for this. >> So it could have been Abashek. [snorts] >> No, that absolutely was not Abashek. >> That could have been Abashek. >> That was not Abashek. the writer. >> That wasn't Abasha. >> I don't. Wait, Joju. George, >> am I in the right thing? >> Where? >> That was the He was the main pit. He was the guy that was the the whole >> That was Joju >> with the coupe. >> Oh, wow. >> Yeah. >> I didn't even clock that. >> Yeah. >> Bondar. Uh, >> I didn't even clock it. Wow. Okay. [laughter] Well, me. Um, what? >> Yeah, we're giving him all of the credit. >> All right. >> Which he he he deserves. However, >> it looks like it's Abashek. >> Um, >> and clarifying >> Sudep Sharma >> 100%. This is written by Sudep Sharma and Abashek Banerjee. >> Well, we've seen other things written by Abashek. >> Yeah. What a talented man. He's so like he's he's one of the most well-rounded artists in India. >> Yeah. >> In terms of an actor uh writer, casting. >> Yeah. >> Uh have we seen him direct? I [snorts] don't know if we I don't remember if we have but yeah it was so good. It felt like >> Yeah, it really did. >> And they've worked together in the past too. So I' I'd imagine [snorts] >> and and I don't know how much with the co-directing thing like this with with Sakshi meta credit to Sakshi because everything felt uniformly on your rogue and it predominantly maybe to save time >> cuz I know this has been done many times and Anaurog has done this where you film >> two things at two different times. So maybe the the stuff that's more smaller coverage a co-director will do on the same day you're filming main sequences with Bobby. >> Yeah. But it all felt very very much everything including the writing. It just felt like a nine-year-old caution film. Yeah. >> Which is which is high praise. >> This is what we love about him. >> Yeah. I I loved the movie and it it gave you >> a little bit of everything of what you love about Anurog. Um in the dialogue and the shots and the and the grittiness a little bit >> felt like a real real jail. >> Um and the dialogue if you're looking for the >> Yeah. >> Even though they censored it still sometimes. And he even he even held back on some things that he could have done in the prison. He could have gone really over the edge and just chose not to do that. >> I think if he was if this was a Hollywood movie, he would have >> obviously. >> Yeah. Because he has he knows the constraints that he kind of >> has to work around >> has there in India. Yeah. >> Um and what the he knows that the sensor board won't allow. >> Yeah. Um, but I his in the casting, I don't know if no Gutam Gutam uh did the casting in this one. Um, but Anurog just likes to get really good actors. Yeah, >> Bobby Dole continues to impress me as an actor. The man is so talented >> and I love his choices. It's what we wish I wish Shah Ruk was doing. >> Yeah. Um, like you can still do your big action. Just like occasionally just take no money and take all backend and be like I'll do this role in this little small India. I probably won't make any money, but I think it'll be fun. And then do your gan jaw >> and everybody else. I mean, Sonia Malhotra is always good. >> She's always so good. >> And Sapna Pabi, >> she did great. >> Was great. Have we seen Sapna before? Because I don't recognize her from anything. >> Uh, I don't see anything that I reckon. She's done a lot of TV. Um, >> yeah, lots of TV. >> Uh, no, we didn't see that one. >> Couple smaller movies and some shorts. Lots of television. My goodness, she's been in a ton of Indian TV television, but she did a great job. >> Very good. >> Um, >> loved her in the role. >> And the lawyer guy did >> Oh, yeah. The the book, >> the sister, is this the >> Amir Aiz, I believe, is the lawyer. >> The lawyer. Yeah. >> He did great. I really enjoyed his performance. Yep. >> And then all the the police and the >> and the and the prisoners. >> The prisoners. >> Great. It was so it's because obviously we we saw Kennedy and we didn't enjoy Kennedy. No, we did not. There was a few elements of it that we liked, [snorts] >> but overall we didn't. >> It fell flat for us. >> It did. Um >> it just didn't it just didn't flesh itself out in a way that we thought was up to an standards. This is absolutely an Ana Kashiup film >> and one of the better Anaurogs in probably a while. Um, granted I we didn't see um what was it? This one. I heard actually good stuff about this one. >> Nanchi. >> Yeah, I heard good stuff about that. I think we saw the trailer or something um from it a while ago. But yeah, this he has some calling cards that is just it's so much fun to watch scenes that he pieces together. >> Yeah. And there's a couple in here that that are just quintessential. The cop one that we've talked about in the past. Uh but then he has some scenes. Well, the one where he was in when he was talking to his sister in the lawyer that you commented on um where Bobby gave a great performance like I need to get out of here. You could see the desperation face. >> Yeah. >> Um on always has a um even with his supporting characters >> gives you a good reason why they're doing what they're doing. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> And he takes a subject that's a really important subject. It's been around for a long time, but he does what needs to be done, and it would be great if it's done more often, which is this is not as simple as it looks at face value. >> And that too often you are guilty and need to be proven innocent. And yes, there are predators out there that are getting away with stuff, but on the other hand, there isn't enough talk about the people who've been accused and never been found guilty. But the court of a of public opinion has made them guilty and and a lot of that is men and everybody just assumes it is because obviously the man had to do it. >> Yeah. >> And I love he gave us at the very end the just the straight up >> that's the question you have at the end. It's supposed to be left that way. Did he or didn't he? And there'll be people who leave the film thinking he did. >> People who leave the film thinking he did. >> Even that is like it it's not even the point of [snorts] the movie. I think the more the bad guy in the movie is more the judicial system that that allows this to happen. >> It's the system. >> Um obviously if she falsely accused obviously that's awful. Uh obviously it should be a villain but obvious and if he obviously it's yeah it's awful and he should be um held responsible. >> But even that I don't think is like even the point to know. It's it's just it's the entire system the system the corruption of it >> uh on all aspects from the judge to the who it's like it's all about the purity of the culture not about the the rules. >> It's the corruption and the hypocrisy. >> Yeah. Yes. Without question. >> And then obviously of the um the society as a whole and how they treat it and how it's all um especially with the these celebrities um once the case is filed that that's just the truth of that man. Exactly. That's what he said. He says, "So now, if you're in here long enough," he said, "This is bad for you because if you're in here long enough and you don't get a trial, you're going to be glossed with this section 302, whatever the number is, forever." >> Mhm. >> It won't matter whether you did it or you didn't do it. >> Yeah. >> You will be always that to people. >> Yeah. >> It's what happened to Michael. >> Yeah. that that's one of the reasons he settled one of the cases was his people around him and he regretted settling one of the cases said you got to just get this out of the news because the court of public opinion is going to assume you're guilty even though you're not because they keep hearing it over and over and over and over and he was never found guilty. He had two other trials where he wasn't found guilty of anything yet. How that's just still still hanging over him. >> Yeah. Um, and it always sadly will. There will always be people that assume, well, if the shoe fits. And uh, yeah. >> Yeah. He, um, it's one of those, especially back in that day, Michael was it was that was a common thought for big celebrities, just get it out of the news. >> Well, let it blow over. >> Get it out of the news. Let it blow over. >> As opposed to like what Johnny did. He was like, "No, I I'm not doing that." Correct. And you you get into the court. Uh, and then if you watch the court at all, it's it's obvious >> obvious [laughter] obvious what happened in that situation. >> That's that's where, for example, like due process, we're always shocked. We said it during the watching, we're always shocked about what we see depicted. And I always go to my friend uh Shy who who's who's an attorney and ask him, okay, is this accurate, not accurate? He said his favorite film that depicts the legal system the way he knows it as a lawyer is court. >> Oh yeah, of course. Yeah. >> He said that one is by far the He said that one literally feels like I'm watching an actual court case >> from what I experience day in day out in court. >> But those things I do know from him >> these kinds of things happen where you have a case against you and you're told by arresting people even though you're innocent you're told want to get out of it. >> Yep. That's even the lawyer at the beginning, >> it's going to be easier. >> It's going to be easy. Just negotiate the price and you'll get out. >> Yeah. It's going to be that's going to be easier for you than uh doing trying to get out of jail and trying to Yep. >> get a court date and prove that you're innocent. >> Yeah. And he's like, "But it's about right and wrong. I didn't do anything wrong." Yeah. It's >> You wish it was like that, right? >> Court is not about right and wrong. >> Yeah. >> Sadly, it's supposed to be. It's not about right and wrong. >> Um but yeah, it's a great movie. Great talking points to talk about, too. >> Really? Really? >> And I'm sure it's a box office flop. >> I think it was. Yeah, I do believe it was a box office flop. [laughter] >> What are you going to do? You know, >> but I love that he just keeps making the movies he wants to make because they're great films. They're just great films. >> Yeah. I think that >> and like you said, if he was in if he was in Hollywood >> Oh, yeah. He would be sometime. And I don't know if he can get funding that way, you know, but I wish he I don't know if he if we even asked him last time we talked to him, but like have you ever >> I know he's been offered, but like not like the stuff he wants to do. He That's the thing. >> Like he I think he like was told like I don't know if it was him, but it was somebody that another big director from India like they were offered like the one of the fast films. Yeah. >> And they were like I don't really And it was not like that style of a director. >> Correct. >> It was just like >> I don't want to do that. I want to do my movie. Can you fund >> exactly >> my movie? >> Right. He's like, "Come film this." He's like, "I don't want to direct that. I want to direct my film." >> Yeah. >> I can't imagine. It's just shocking to me that an Anorog with the people that he is connected with and connected to. I also know I'm stopping mid thought. He really wants to tell stories that are Indian. >> Of course. >> Yeah. >> I think you still can. >> He really does. And I think you still can. and he could tell a story, an Indian story that's taking place here, but um it's just we just need to get more people to watch these films cuz it's just such a good film. >> Yeah. So, it was one of the best of the year for India for sure. >> Yeah, without question. One of the best of the year. Um, great performances and big big applause to Bobby for he reminds me it reminds me of the choices that Karina Kapoor has been making as she's entering this phase of her life of choosing stuff where she can really sink her teeth into stuff that is acting you know very very good story very very good dialogue uh really deep places to go emotionally um there's no Bobby is the type of actor where there's no you you you don't catch him performing. He's not doing anything performative. He's just trying to be and uh just great performance all the way around. >> Another actor that I would love to do see do and then I don't think they ever would was is like Salman Khan. >> Yeah, >> I would love >> Yeah, he would love to see him in this role. >> That would be great. >> It would be great to see him in this kind of >> never do it. I don't think in a million years. >> I don't think so, but boy would it be great. I think Shah Ruk would before, but >> that's the one I I just when he gets I think it's interesting the parallels of of the careers of of Shah Rukh Khan and Tom Cruz. >> Oh yeah, for sure. >> Cuz I think once they've recognized they're past the action film days, they're going to start embracing films more like Digger and more like Just >> But then what if Digger sucks? which are also the kinds of things that interestingly Tom did after he did Top Gun. He surprised everybody and I remember when he did it I saw here's the guy who all he was known for was Risky Business and Top Gun and then I'm reading in Variety that he's working on a film with Paul Newman and then after that he'll be working with Dustin Hoffman and I thought holy crap this kid's he's he wants to be an actor actor and then he did Born on the 4th of July. So he did these films that were really good dramatic films. He did The Color of Money. He did Rainman and he did Born on the Fourth of July and then went Mission Impossible took him down the action world forever. >> Yeah. >> And I I'm happy to see him do Digger. Shah Ruk, I just feel like he's got this kind of role. >> Oh, he definitely could. Sure. [laughter] >> He could definitely do it. Yeah. >> Um but Bobby obviously we've seen him do it many times just like this. I think it could be easy dummy contender for sure at the end of the year cuz I thought I thought he did a fantastic job >> and the ladies >> and everybody else in the cast. >> Yeah. >> Um >> all around great. >> Absolutely fantastic. I'm I'm I'm glad we got to watch it. I'm glad uh I'm sad it didn't do well. [laughter] >> Yeah, it's just so disappointing. >> But um anyways, let us know what you thought about the movie. If you liked it, if you didn't like it, what your thoughts on it are. Um if you saw us on YouTube, you saw very cut of this other Hindi movies description below. Go check that out.
