The Paradise Official TEASER (Telugu) | Nani | Anirudh Ravichander | REACTION!!
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video features a reaction to the official teaser trailer for Nani's upcoming Telugu film titled "Paradise," directed by Malu and composed with music by Anirudh Ravichander. The hosts express immense excitement as they watch the new footage, noting that it marks a significant shift from summer blockbusters into awards season content. They highlight several key elements revealed in the trailer, including Nani's striking appearance with dreadlocks and a highly stylized color grading that gives the world of the film a unique visual appeal. The hosts are particularly thrilled to see this collaboration between Nani and director Malu again, referencing their previous successful partnership on the movie "Dara," which they describe as having everything needed for great cinema: strong storytelling, compelling acting, and entertainment value.
Beyond the immediate visuals, the conversation delves into the broader context of Indian filmmaking, specifically contrasting big-budget productions with smaller-scale projects. The hosts discuss how larger films carry higher risks regarding post-production and require a blend of narrative depth with pure entertainment factors to succeed on a massive scale. They touch upon recent releases like "Toxic" and mention other upcoming or recently released titles such as the Canadian co-production involving Nani, joking about language listings and production locations while acknowledging that these big-budget projects are not typical blockbusters but rather high-stakes endeavors. The dialogue also includes humorous banter about various film industries, including a funny misunderstanding regarding Canada versus Telugu cinema, before settling on their anticipation for how "Paradise" will handle the challenges of large-scale filmmaking.
The core premise of the film is teased through text overlays and commentary within the video, describing an 1980s-era story where a marginalized tribe battles discrimination to fight for citizenship under unexpected leadership. The hosts interpret this plot point as a powerful social statement against systemic oppression, with one host enthusiastically agreeing that the protagonist's actions represent fighting back against the elite or "the 1%." They relate these themes of revenge and justice to their personal experiences watching other films like "Barbarian," where they appreciated clear narratives about retribution. The overall tone is optimistic and supportive, with both hosts feeling confident in Nani's ability to deliver a performance that balances emotional depth with the fun factor expected from his recent works.
In conclusion, the video serves as an enthusiastic endorsement of the new project before its September 24th release date. The hosts encourage their audience to share their thoughts on the teaser and express eagerness for more details about the film's development. They reiterate that while there are many movies released annually in India, this particular project stands out due to its ambitious scope and star power. As they wrap up, they play a final clip from the trailer featuring upbeat music and Nani's voiceover promising tickets to paradise, leaving viewers with a sense of high anticipation for what promises to be one of the most anticipated Telugu releases in recent years.

I got two tickets to paradise.
>> What? [gasps]
>> So, my friend Michael Pomearo, who's a
big New York Mets fan, and the Mets are
having an absolute nightmare of a trash
season in every way, shape, or form.
>> Like the first half of the season for
the Red Sox.
>> Yeah, they had a terrible off season.
They got rid of guys that no one wanted
to see leave. Acquired people that the
Yankees dumped in the garbage and
they're like, "Yeah, we'll take you."
Uh, and they have the second highest
payroll in baseball, right behind the
Dodgers. So, Michael just sent me this.
He said, as if things weren't bad enough
for the Mets. Now, this
[laughter]
this is the mascot for the Mets. And so,
that's how bad it is. The paper just did
this joke and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Met
are divorcing after years of strugg."
That's how bad it is for the Mets right
now, that their mascots are divorcing.

of fun.
>> Yeah. Wellited trailer.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh
>> and it there's also some trailers that
are make you think to yourself, I I got

of those that I'm like, I I really want

great movie with Nani. Uh, so you can go
watch that. It's already on the It's
been on the channel for a year or two at
least. Yeah. Uh, so that's exciting that
the director is uh because that's one of
the first things I look for like if it's
a director I know that they know what
they're doing.
>> Yeah.
>> Film making movies is so hard. Um,
especially when it's like a much bigger
concept and you have to factor in not
only your story but the entertainment.
Um, because big cinema is different than
smaller cinema.
>> Yeah. Obviously, smaller cinema, you got
to focus on your I mean, you still got
to focus on everything, but there's
[snorts]
um when you go into smaller cinema,
people know that you're going in for the
acting, the story, and that kind of
stuff. Bigger ones, you still going in
for those things, but you also have to
have a entertainment factor.
>> There's there's so many more ways things
can go wrong. Yeah,
>> you have so many more risks you're
taking when you're doing something that
big
>> because you have to
>> you have to incorporate some of the
aspects that smaller films do, but
you've got all of the other so many
things can go wrong on the day in
post-prouction. Uh so if if it holds up
and it's anything like that other film,
I

been known for this, but I want to see
more from them?
>> Canada.
>> A lot of theirs just gets flushed into
ours.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I know they make stuff, but a lot
of since they're just Canada and US are
so intertwined, except for healthcare.
Um, it kind of just they blend. And
also, if you're in Canada, why wouldn't
you come here? The money is better.
>> What?
>> With a K.
Oh, Canada. I thought you were talking
about Canada. No,
>> Canada.
Gotcha.
>> With a K.
>> We haven't [laughter]
No, I thought you were talking about
Canada.
>> Why would I be talking about Canada?
>> I have no idea.
>> Yeah, you understand. [laughter]
>> Uh, Canada. Yeah. No,
>> it's been a minute since we've seen uh
It's been a while like a new film come
out.
>> Uhhuh.
>> Um, not saying there wasn't some. There
might be. And I just
>> No.
>> Under the radar. Uh wait I mean you know
this
>> 2,000 movies a year come out in India.
So
>> granted is what is toxic?
>> That's a good question.
>> I think it was filmed in all of them.
>> I Yeah. Um [snorts]
that's a good question.
>> It's definitely filmed in Canada.
>> Yeah.
>> What are we going to see it in? It might
be Canada.
>> Yeah. It's it's a panindian thing,
right? Um I I would say whatever the
lead is is typically what I go with.
>> Yeah,
>> usually.
>> Um yeah,
>> it is that is here we are talking about
it. That is it's it's going to fall the
the main languages that's listed at
least on Google. It it's Canada.
>> Canada.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Uh but the director is Malu.
>> Yeah. It's a multi- panindia
[snorts]
um
creative team.
But it's listed also in an at several
places it's listed as the primary
language even though it's going to be in
multiple languages. It's going to be and
that's what I would want to see it in is
is Canada.
But again, that's the type of thing
we've seen.
Toxic is living up to that quote unquote
stereotype of what Canada does.
>> Mhm. So, um I I I don't remember a film.
Refresh my memory because your memory
about these things is better than mine.
Is there a small film from the Canada
industry that we've
>> recently or at all?
>> Yeah. No, small. We've had small
>> in the past. I don't remember its name,
but we've had a small [snorts] uh but
>> um granted I guess the
>> the ones we've seen from the Tula
industry this year aren't really
considered small. No,
>> they're just not they're not the typical
blockbuster because both of them I
believe costed quite a bit of money. Um
>> it shows
>> um especially the RA production wise
>> was incredible uh for for sure.
>> Uh but even production-wise um post
might have been more expensive um on
singam.
>> Yeah, it may have been
>> um with what they had to do
>> depending on what they did with the room
in Raadar. That might
>> they built the set.
>> It may have been practical.
>> Um
>> that's how good it was. Both of them
phenomenal movies. Looking forward to
this, man. Yeah. Um,
>> this was very good.
>> Looking forward to the trailer. Figure
out a little more. Let's see. 1980s,
uh, a marginalized tribe battles
discrimination and fights, uh, for
citizenship under the unexpected leaders
guidance, CHALLENGING SYSTEMATIC
OPPRESSION.
>> DOWN WITH THE MAN.
>> YEAH, HE'S A GODDAMN SOCIALIST.
[laughter]
>> My my friend Amy, actress in workspace
with me, we did dinner with friends. She
came and saw Barbarian.
>> Mhm. One of her takeaways, and this is
the only time I've had someone say this,
and I loved it. She said, "I love a good
revenge story."
>> So, when he was getting his, you know,
going after his father, I almost
shouted. I was almost like, "Yeah, get
him." [laughter] She loves a good
revenge story.
You could read this one in Bernie's
voice. We must fight the discrimination.
It's true.
>> And for the citizenship, that's
marginalized tribes battling
discriminization from the 1%.
challenge systemic oppression.
[ __ ] you, Ape. [laughter]
We agree, Bernie. And that's it.
[laughter]
