SPEAKER_00 0:03

Well, someone looks sun-kissed and back and relaxed. Well, hello there. Yes, I am.

SPEAKER_01 0:10

Where did you go? Where do you keep going? Going? It's my first trip in like months. Okay, where'd you?

SPEAKER_08 0:18

That's a lie. That's a lie. I went to um I went to Curaçao. It's a little island uh right off of Venezuela. Um, it's near like Aruba. And it looks like Kurucao is what it looks like to spell it. The pronunciation, yeah. I mean the spelling is like you would I wouldn't think to spell it that way, but anyway. Yeah. Oh, good. Was it fun? It was so fun. The island was beautiful. I I feel like it's an underrated island. So it was it was a lot of fun. I loved it. It was relaxing, super cool. We went to we stayed at a resort, um, and we spent I spent a lot of time at the resort, and we did like two days of like going outside and seeing um the island itself. But I I just wanted to relax, so we spent more time at the hotel, and the hotel was great.

SPEAKER_07 1:02

So I would recommend it for others.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

Very nice. Um, I'm also in a sun-kissed land, the land of Florida. Yes, you are. But I'm here to help my mom. She had knee replacement surgery, so doing a little bit of fun, a little bit of home stuff.

SPEAKER_08 1:17

But uh it's so much better than here right now because it's all gloomy. So you're like, you're in the sun in Florida.

SPEAKER_00 1:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:25

I wish I'm gonna be there.

SPEAKER_00 1:27

I'm gonna hate it coming back next week. You're gonna hate it coming back. This is what it is. Uh, did you see anything um while you're on your trip? Any good Bollywoody things or non-bollywoody things? No, I did not.

SPEAKER_08 1:38

I did not have time. I was relaxing at the beach in the pool, so I did not watch anything. It was all day in the water, then I came back and just chilled and went to sleep.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

No, no TV, no nothing.

SPEAKER_00 1:49

Oh, good for you. Well, I saw. What did you see? Yes, please tell me. Bollywood things. I saw this movie called Stolen. It's um so do you know the guy from Patha Lok? He was like in Patha Lok one, season one, he was the like main bad guy. He wasn't um, I think his name is Abhishek. I know who you're talking about.

SPEAKER_08 2:14

He's also in he's also in a stree one and two.

SPEAKER_04 2:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 2:19

I know you're talking about he's a good actor.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

Abhishek Banerjee, yeah. Really good actor. Yeah. And this movie is like you kind of don't know how the characters are uh feeling in the beginning of the movie, because it looks so this Abhishek Banerjee is kind of like from an affluent far family, like a rich family, and he was picking up his brother from the train station, and then like all this stuff happens in between, and you're just like, wait, so it seems like he doesn't have compassion, and then it seems like he does later on. So it's like it kind of like takes you on this like roller coaster ride type of thing, but it's so well done. The storyline was very good. It's kind of a sad, depressing movie, which is stuff I like to watch anyway. It's not it's not my genre. But it's like a real movie, right? Because I'm sure some of this stuff probably does happen in you know these rural rural areas. Um, but it was good, very good movie.

SPEAKER_08 3:14

Yeah, it is I was just looking it up and I saw commercials for it, and it does look very it's not my genre, but it does look really good. And he's a good actor. I've seen him in all your places. Uh very good thing. He does comedic roles really well, and this is a serious show, so a little bit more different. And Rotten Tomatoes gives it 87%, which is pretty good. And then yeah, IMDB is giving a 7.5, and Prime Video is giving me 7.5. Where did you watch it on Prime or where did Prime? It's on Prime.

SPEAKER_00 3:39

Yeah. Okay, it was really good. I watched it on the airplane on the way down to Florida, and then while I've been in Florida, I've been binging White Lotus because I've never seen any of it, any of the seasons before. Oh, I heard it's really good. I'm midway through season two, and it's really, really good. Like, I didn't think I think I started watching it like years ago when season one came out, and I watched one episode and I'm like, this is dumb. But then like I think I wasn't concentrating on it. And now, like, now that I'm like actually concentrating and watching it, I was like, oh, this is actually really good.

SPEAKER_08 4:08

So I mean this weekend was the Emmys, right? And people, I think White Lotus won a bunch of Emmy uh Emmys.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

Oh, did it? Yeah, go through season three, because I think season three was the latest uh um season to just finish. I'm on, like I said, end of season two. So I'll let you know what I think about season three at the end of it. Just like the waves that you may have swam in, what is making waves in the industry? Give me your trending topics.

SPEAKER_08 4:42

So the waves that I have swam swam in. Because you went to Crusau.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

Oh yes, yes, that is true.

SPEAKER_08 4:49

The waves, oh my god, you and your you and your jokes, jokey trending topics, yeah, trending topics. All right, guys. Um, for this week, I think one of the biggest news that we're seeing the most is that the Bads of Bollywood is coming out. Um, and everyone's everyone's excited about it. There's it's just all trending on my feed, and it's just um, I think right now they're doing um a big release party.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

Like currently as we speak, because when we logged on to do this, you're like, what's all that background noise? And I'm like, I'm watching the they're doing the release party and everybody's coming in. So it was all these like and different, different people coming in and pictures and I was wondering, I was like, do you have a party happening right now?

SPEAKER_08 5:35

Like we can't we don't we can't record if that's happening in the background. It was so much noise. Like, what are you watching? Yeah, the latest one I saw was Ori walk in. So Ori is hilarious. But then you were how how Bobby um how Bobby came in and hit Bobby's music was that music that you seem to be singing non-stop now. The jumalo jumalo, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:56

Yeah, that song was his his animal song basically. He came in with his um with his wife and his son. His son is really good looking.

SPEAKER_08 6:15

I I I feel like when Bobby first came out, he was like very like I think he's getting back to being good looking with like his little angry man type of thing that he's doing right now. Um I think when he first came out, he was good looking and his wife is pretty, I think. His wife is very pretty. So the kid would be good looking. Well, speaking of Bobby, his movie Bandar, and that got so many raving reviews um in Toronto. I think they have it was part of a film festival there. And I I think the director is Anu uh Anuraka Shep. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:45

Oh, I did see like sorry, I saw another thing about this too. Like they were having like a like a meet and greet type of thing. You know, when say like they play the movie and then they come on stage on the theater and then they do like question and answer type of thing. And Bobby Diol was like just praising Anura Kush up, saying that I've always wanted to work with him and now I'm finally getting to work with him. And apparently he's killing it in this movie, and it's supposed to be another probably depressing type of movie, something I would watch. I don't know if you would watch it. Yeah, you would watch it. You would watch it, of course. But apparently it's supposed to be really, really good.

SPEAKER_08 7:17

Oh, they're also calling it like the most controversial work from Anura Kashep in like recent times.

SPEAKER_00 7:23

Oh, and that guy does controversial stuff though.

SPEAKER_08 7:25

Anura Kashep does very Yeah, he's saying is the most controversial. And do you know who the female actress is in this movie? I forgot. Sanya Malotra, our favorite. Oh yay! Yeah, I'm excited. I don't think I'm gonna watch it, so I'll wait for you to watch it, then you tell me what it's about. Okay, and then maybe I'll go, I'll think about watching it. Okay. Alright, well, speaking of a good movie, we're gonna take a 180 and go to something that's not so good. Um I'm scared. You're gonna tell me if you what you feel about this. Okay, guess what? Drum roll, please. Student of the year. No, no gosh. No, stop, stop, stop it.

SPEAKER_00 8:11

Three. No, there was no need for one or two. Now there's a three?

SPEAKER_08 8:16

There's a three, but wait, wait, wait. That isn't even the worst part. Shania is playing.

SPEAKER_01 8:22

Which no Shania Twain. Shania Kapoor.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

Shania Kapoor. What song did Shania Twain sing? Feels like a woman?

SPEAKER_01 8:33

I think so. Shania Twain. Yeah, I I don't know. Whatever song she is, you would know.

SPEAKER_08 8:37

Oh, why? Why? Shania's playing a double role in this. Not do we not only is she bad once, we're gonna see her being bad twice. Well, okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:47

Can I I didn't watch it that Uncle Kigostakia I didn't read anything about it or anything, but I looked on um some I don't know if you guys have heard of Enthusan. Yes, yes, yes. So on Enthusan, I I pick my movies based on the storyline, like what the what the viewers give the ratings for the storyline. And uh normally I only watch movies that are like 4.0 or above. This one got a 3.8. So close. I almost clicked on it to watch it. But maybe the storyline is good in Student of the Year 3, but students of the year one and two were not good. And then Shania.

SPEAKER_08 9:27

I don't know. I don't know. You're very hopeful, but it's not gonna be a it's not gonna I ain't gonna watch it. It's not gonna be a theater release, it's gonna be a web series release. So we'll see what this is gonna be about.

SPEAKER_07 9:39

No baby notch.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

Okay, Money. Today, yes, um, I I like super depressing movies, movies about like real gritty type of things. You on the other hand, yes, you love, love, love, love, love, as in rom-com love. Yes. So, how about you tell me or both of us tell each other what are some of our favorite rom coms were from Bollywood? Because yes, Bollywood's full of them.

SPEAKER_08 10:11

Yes, Bollywood is full of them. That's what I grew up on. I grew up on rom-coms, I love rom-coms. It's this whole new genre of like let's go deep and gritty. It's not, I don't feel it that much. Here and there I'll watch it, but give me a good rom-com, I'm all for it. Like, I'll watch it through through and through. I'll love it. So the rom-com genre has changed over the years since I've watched it. Um and I think some of my favorite rom-coms are in the 90s. Uh, and I mean the 2000s other ones are good too, but I think for me, 90s is always a feeling, but it also also could be nostalgia because some of the movies you rewatch and you're like, what is this? Um, but some of them I can't rewatch I can re-watch over and over again because I just I just love watching them. Well, tell me like what are some of your favorite ones?

SPEAKER_00 10:56

Um, I've got I mean I've got quite a few. I do even though I do like more depressing type of movies, I do like a good rom-com here and there, but if it's good. So one of my favorite good ones is um Jub We Met. Have you seen it? Oh, yes, yes. I hope you have seen it because it is a total rom-com. Um so Jub Me Wet was uh 2007. It was Shahid Kapoor and Karina Kapoor. Karina Kapoor Khan now. Um, and it's a typical romance comedy, a little bit of drama mixed in. Um, but it's it's kind of iconic because it was kind of at the time, it was more um, it was like fresh writing. It was new, like it's a very different, quirky type of story. And even the acting, the acting was very different. Like the like Karina Kapoor as Geith was she was a very different character than we've seen in the past. Right? Yes, yes, like really bubbly and outspoken and like a typical, like, you know, just a very typical loud girl.

SPEAKER_08 11:58

It was very loud, she was very fun in it, and I think I think what um she got an award for that that particular role too, I think. She got best best actress award for that. She did.

SPEAKER_00 12:10

Yeah. And then um Shahid was like very like just kind of a depressed guy, right? Like he he lost his father, he lost his company, he got lost his love. Like, that's kind of how we like first get intro to him, and then he like meets Geith, and he's almost kind of like annoyed at her, I think, right? In the beginning, because he's just it's just like she's just too much. Like, she's way too much. Too extra for his personality.

SPEAKER_08 12:36

So yeah, he was kind of annoyed, yep.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

Yeah, but then like you know, along their journey, like um, she like needs to go to Batinda because she's fallen in love with this dude, and she's like, I need to meet my my my my my husband, my guy, and then he's like, Okay, okay, fine, I'll help you.

SPEAKER_08 12:52

Well, she remembers she runs away from home to be with this boyfriend, this guy that she wants to marry. She like runs away from home to marry this guy that she calls her boyfriend, but he technically never said yes to her either. Like he was like, I don't love you, like, what's wrong with you? You're a crazy girl. I think that's what happens, right?

SPEAKER_00 13:12

She probably like read into the whole thing.

SPEAKER_08 13:15

She probably made up the story in her head on her own, created her own story in her head where she and this guy were together and she's been harassing this person and just starts like I need to marry you, I need to marry you, and then runs away from home for this particular reason, right?

SPEAKER_00 13:31

She probably is just like he probably like waved to her and smiled, and she's like, Oh my god, he loves me. Yes, basically that sort of type of stuff. Exactly, exactly. But then, okay, so eventually, as um, you know, Shahid Kapoor and Karina Kapoor start to get they get to know each other a little bit more throughout throughout the movie, and you kind of see that like Shahid Kapoor starts to like like her and like Geeth a little bit more. He's not as annoyed with her.

SPEAKER_08 13:58

Uh Shahid Kapoor's character helps her find get to this area and throughout the journey, like you said. Butinda. But indeed, yeah. But once he once she gets there, um, she tells him, Hey, like, I'm here to get married, and and that guy's like, Oh, and Shahid Kapoo kind of leaves from there. Kind of sad that he like fell in love with this girl. Not fell in love, but kind of likes his girl now, but he left her, but he knows a feeling of her in his like with him, and he leaves her, and then there's um then Geet is there with her boyfriend. So Shahid Kapoo never sees what happens between her and the boyfriend because she's like, I'm leaving her, she left her with her she's supposed to be. But while she's there, the guy that she did all this stuff for tells her, I don't love you. You are a crazy person, I don't want to be with you. What is wrong with you? Just because I told you not to run away from home, I told you not to do any of this stuff, why did you do that? Yeah, and then I think the realization at that time of that movie is that you know, she's just like, Oh crap, like I just left everything for this person, and this person doesn't even care about me.

SPEAKER_00 14:56

Yeah, he doesn't even care, exactly. And so then, so then like after all of that happens, Geith and Geith, who is Karina Kapoor, and Aditya, who is Shahid Kapoor, they um do they they like meet again, right?

SPEAKER_08 15:10

Somehow, yes, so so Shahid Kapoor ends up going to the family as well, and they think that he she ran away with Shahid Kapoor, the family. They find him and they're like, Hey, just tell Geet to come back, Geek to come back, we love her, we miss her, blah blah blah. And then he's like, Wait, she's not, what do you mean? And then he realizes that, oh no, he goes looking for her and goes back to Batinda to find her.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Yeah, and then he finds her, and then he then he finds out that she's like just kind of heartbroken, and she's just not the Geith that he remembers. He wasn't the that this bubbly, fun, chirpy, crazy girl that he remembers, and then he finally like kind of tries to bring that funness back into her, and then there's like this whole bunch of like silly stuff that happens, and then she then she realizes that well, you know what, maybe this guy, maybe this is a guy for me, Aditya, because he starts to like her too, right? And then, you know, a few songs later they fall in love and they get married.

SPEAKER_08 16:03

I mean, in between, like he in between Aditya kind of like convinces Anshuman that she's the girl for you. So it just ends up with so much like fun, uh fun masala type of movie.

SPEAKER_00 16:14

Yeah, and then did they um were they dating at this time during this movie?

SPEAKER_08 16:17

I think they broke up right either at the middle of this movie or before the movie, but they were broken up when they did.

SPEAKER_00 16:24

Interesting. I wonder if that helped with their character building.

SPEAKER_08 16:27

I maybe it could have, but they were very professional about it.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

Yeah, yeah. But yeah, so that I mean that's it's one of one of my favorites. Of course, I didn't remember it as well as you did, wouldn't I? But because I don't watch re-watch rom-coms as often as you do. But I really remember enjoying it when I watched it.

SPEAKER_08 16:44

Do you think this story would work if the genders were reversed? Let's say with the other way around, where Geet's character was actually Shai's character, and Shy's character is actually actually Geet's character. Do you think like the way they met would that have worked?

SPEAKER_00 16:57

Yeah, I feel like we've seen movies like that too in the past. I can't think of anything, but where like the girl is like broken down because like she's you know, depressed because of something or other, and then like the guy is like the bubbly one trying to bring her out of her shell.

SPEAKER_08 17:10

Yeah, we've seen. But I feel like it would work. I feel like regardless, I feel like you'll regardless, it would it would uh definitely work. It would definitely absolutely work. Alright, so even though I love the 90s, I think one of my favorite rom-com that I can go back to even now and watch is the movie Humtum. Do you remember Humptum? Uh uh, that's a cartoon movie, right? Yeah, yeah, yes, it had the cartoon in it. Um, and this movie was uh with Syphalikan and Rodney Mukherjee. Um, and it was a story about um they meet each other on a flight and they instantly don't like each other. Like he's trying to be all flirtatious with her, and she's just like, I'm not having you, get out of my face. Like, I don't like you. And fate keeps like bringing them together for some reason, like they always together for some reason. Um, and uh as the movie progresses, like you see the fun banter and then like the little cartoons. So this is interesting because the little cartoons are really cute that we talked about. Like because isn't he a cartoonist or something? He's a cartoonist, exactly. He's a cartoonist. So this is his thing, his story is like the humboom characters. They again they keep meeting each other, then the the second time they meet the next time they meet each other is like later on, and he like he sees Rhea and he sees her being sad, and he's just wondering like what's wrong with her, and and he finds out that the guy that she got married to her, married to her husband, he passes away. Like he got in a cra tragic car accident and he dies. So she's like in depression, kind of like that. So he spends like time to like bring her back out of her shell. So um, so they grow close and they become like they become very close. They they you know they start having feelings for each other, but I think Sayf gets kind of scared and like backs away, thinking he doesn't want to lose her as a friend and not like just ruin a relationship that way. So he kind of backs away, and then Rhea thinks, Oh, he doesn't care for me. So kind of like she kind of backs away too. So so it's like a really cool story, very different than like the other movies. Like I talked about like 90s, 90s movies were very similar in the sense that you know they were big masalas. It's really very like simple story. And the adding the little cartoons made it really funny, yeah, made it cute and fun, and then even the songs like in between were really songs are like the songs were really, really good, and it fit the 2000 genre because like it was like you know, it they're doing a lot of like the NRI, the global Indians, trying to like relate a lot to like us living here in the US, the UK, the Canada. A lot of the songs are like very iconic. Like, and what's also interesting about this movie is that um this was Saif's first like huge like shift, I would say. Like you would like remember him like in what is it, like solo movie where he's no longer doing like duo movies or like a side character or kind of like a you know, another pairing up with another guy. Like if this was his movie, he would there's no supporting ensemble kind of thing. It was just him being the main character, and he won um his first national award for this particular movie, too. Oh, he did. Wow. And this kind of like brought YRF reinforcing YRF like from the 90s to like 2000s, like yeah, they know how to make rom-coms. They are the rom-com people.

SPEAKER_00 20:26

And they're coming back now with more rom coms, what's like do you really think that the cartoons were needed in Humptham? Like I know he was I know he wasn't a a cartoonist, but you know how they had the little like mini little cartoon.

SPEAKER_08 20:40

It was like it was like mini little arguments between them and stuff like that. Do they really need it? Probably not, but I think it gave a different flavor to what we were so used to doing. It was a little different, right?

SPEAKER_00 20:51

Very good. Well, I did like that movie. I liked the songs, and I I kind of liked um Stephanie Khan and Ronnie Murphy together too.

SPEAKER_08 20:58

Yes, I was gonna say that they were a fun couple.

SPEAKER_00 21:23

So have you seen the movie Burreli Ki Burphy?

SPEAKER_08 21:27

Yes, I saw parts of that movie, not fully, but parts of it.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

Okay, so this is another really nice rom-com, but I feel like it was kind of an undercover um movie because because of the actors, the actors were not that big back then. So it's Ayushman Kurana, Rajkumar Rao, and Krithi Sanin, right? They're all kind of like I'm not gonna say bad actors, they're actually very good actors, but because there's no like Neppo kid type of actor in it, I feel like it didn't get all of the the it didn't get big promotions and all that kind of stuff, right? Would you would you kinda agree with me on that?

SPEAKER_08 22:00

I would kind of agree on you because Ayushman Karana does really good movies, and uh you're right, he it doesn't get I I don't think all his movies get the right amount of promotion because he does good movies. He does really good movies, way better than Gardikarion, and I feel bad that he doesn't get enough promotion for his movies.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

I agree, I agree. So so this movie it's about um Kriti Sandon. She lives in um a really small town, a conservative town, and she just feels like she's misunderstood because she's the type of girl that's she's almost a little bit like this Geith character, the early-on Geith character, right? Um Karina Kapoor from Jub We Met, like very free-spirited. And one day she discovers this uh book called Bereiliki G Burfi. And she starts reading this book, and she's like, Oh my god, uh the star of this book, the heroine, she's just like me. She's like, the author must truly understand who I am. And so she wants to go meet the author. The author of the book is Aishman Kurana. Like he's also a very shy guy. So because he's very shy, he used a pseudonym for the uh for the book, Bureliki Burfee, but he used his friend's name, his friend Rajkumar Rao, whose real name or whose name in the movie was Preetham Vidrohi. So when this when Kriti Sanin goes and look goes to look for this author, she's looking for Preetham Vidrohi, who's Rajkumar Rao, not the author of the book, because the actual author of the book is Aishvan Karana. Have I lost you yet? Because it's very confusing.

SPEAKER_08 23:31

I'm there, I'm there, I'm following you. It sounds like Sajin.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

Oh yeah, yeah. Whoa, you're right. This is 2017 Sajin, you're right. Yes. Okay. So then, so finally she finds the dude, and she's just it's and then the dude is obviously right, Rajkumar Rajkumar Rao. And he's Rajkumar Rao actually is a really, really nice guy in real life, but because Ayushman Karana sees her, he's like, Oh my gosh, she's so cute, she's so pretty. He starts to fall in love with her. So he tells Rajkumar Rao to act like all rude and gross and just not like a nice guy. And so, you know, Kriti Sanin's like, ew, why is this guy so mean? He wrote such a beautiful book, and I don't know, he's just like not like she just she's just repulsed by him, basically. And so that kind of puts her closer to becoming closer to um Aishman Karana, right? Because they're like he likes her, she likes him, but she she doesn't know that he's the actual author of the book because he's a stupid dodo bird.

SPEAKER_01 24:36

Similar to Sajin, right? Madri and Sanjita and Salma Khan.

SPEAKER_00 24:40

Yeah, yeah. Um, and then of course through the course of this whole movie, Preetham, who is actually who's um Rajkumar Rao, starts to fall in love with her too, and then he drops the rowdy act because that's not who he actually is. And he's and his like natural sweet guy personality comes out, and she's like, Oh my god, this guy is so cute, he's so nice. Like, I wonder why he just kept putting up this act. And then so she starts to fall in love with him, and her parents also start to like him. And so now Ayushman Karana, stupid dodo bird, that should have just been like, Hey, I wrote the book to begin with, is jealous, and he's like, Wait, why are you acting like to his friend? He's like, you know, you're supposed to be acting like this bad guy because I like her, and but it just it's just all a big mishmash, mess up of nonsense because people don't talk in Indian movies. At the very end, who do you think Kithi Sandin chooses out of Ayushman Karana and Rajkumar Rao? I think the Aishman Karana, isn't it? Correct. And why did she choose him? Well, she finds him really sweet because she's like, oh, he actually knows who I am from the beginning. Again, Rajkumarao is also very, very sweet and very, very nice. But she feels that like Aishman Karana because he wrote this book.

SPEAKER_08 25:59

She knows connected to Irishman Karana, right?

SPEAKER_00 26:02

Because of the book, so anyway, really nice, fun, it's it's a very light movie, light and fun kind of movie. Um, but it's got a lot of like rom-com type of elements to it. Um, I don't know. I really enjoyed watching it. I watched it like much later after it actually came out just because I was I wasn't a big fan of these three. And why? Because again, promotions were not big good for them, right?

SPEAKER_08 26:46

So I was a big fan of Aishman Corona, I am, but I don't watch a lot of his movies. I should watch a lot more because they are actually always really good when you do end up watching it. Yeah. But this particular movie, I think, was a defining moment for Rajkumar Rao because I feel like he was doing so many like more critical, critic acclaim movies as opposed to like these commercial style movies, and this was still a commercial movie, but he just played a different character. And Krithi Sanon, I feel like is an underrated actress. We've talked about her before.

SPEAKER_00 27:15

I mean, you said she was the best thing in Dilwale. Oh, yes. And you had Sharuk and Kajel, and you're like, Krithi Santa was the best thing in the Dale.

SPEAKER_08 27:25

Kreith Santa was the best part in that movie. Leading up from Burr Lakey Murphy, I want to talk about another movie that is also structured to be, and it is called Ban Bhaj Barat. Do you remember that movie? Of course. Yes. Yes. So that was a launch. I I want to say that was a launch of Renvier Singh in the in the Bollywood industry. It was.

SPEAKER_00 28:08

I think it was his first movie, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_08 28:10

It was his first movie, yes, with Anushka Sherma and Renvier Singh. Uh it was a breath of fresh air. Um Anishka Sharma, who wants to was a very ambitious girl and she wants to start a wedding planning business, and that's where she meets um uh Renvier Singh, who is very carefree, doesn't have like and wants a like little stable job for himself and hasn't had anything. So they both team up together and they, you know, they realize that they can both work together instead of like work separately, they decide to work together and they start this company called Shadi Mubar. One of the rules that Anushka Sherma's character had was that we can't fall in love. Like there's no love in our business. Like we're gonna be friends, we're gonna be business partners, but we can't fall in love. And so that's what she told Renveer. But you know, obviously they're spending time together, they have this like great chemistry, so they start having feelings for each other. But because she made that rule of no love in the business, uh, Renvere was like, Okay, well, you're the one who made this story, so he's like not telling her that he likes her or anything like that, but now she's feeling like, oh, he doesn't like me. And so then that misunderstanding happened between them, and they kind of like separate, go their separate ways, like they kind of break up or they come back together for a big wedding. One of the big weddings is supposed to happen, and they realize like they had great chemistry and they end up talking it out, and they realize that they like each other and they wanna they wanna be together. So this movie was like a great fun watch because it's a little again, a little different than what we're used to seeing. Um, so yeah, YRF again back to their rom com era like they're always leading in the rom-coms. Like you can't, I don't think you can beat them really.

SPEAKER_00 29:38

No, you can't, and that's the thing. Like they because they I feel like early on, like back even in the like probably 70s, 50s, 60s, 70s, whenever they started, right? Like they were always like the ones that did all of these like romantic y type of movies, and then they kind of went into doing these other spy verses.

SPEAKER_08 29:57

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which clearly, you know, different. Universals that they came up with and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 30:02

I think they're really good with the romance. They should really see that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 30:05

They are really good with the romance. And the music was really good.

SPEAKER_00 30:08

I have a question for you. It's not really related to the movie, but this was Ren Beersing's debut movie. Did you think he was going to be the superstar that he is today?

SPEAKER_08 30:17

Oh, no way. Hands down. No. I feel like who is this like ordinary looking person like trying to be a hero? And then why is he a leading role in the Y or F type of movie, right? You know, obviously he has but yeah, I didn't think what he was gonna be with the reverse thing that he is right now.

SPEAKER_00 30:34

Did not know, did not think it, but Mary Deepadu Gone, like, come on. No clue this nerdy looking dude was gonna turn into this. But I do have to bring up the romance king, Mr. Shah Rukhan. Yes, I think. I mean, he's got so many wonderful movies, and I'm just gonna name off a few that I like.

SPEAKER_08 31:12

Yeah, we can't talk about Roncom without talking about Shah Rukhan, so but I want to We can't. So, like I didn't want to do that, so I went I skipped it. I skipped through his movies, but yes, please go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 31:20

Okay, so my number one movie, Kutchpa Chotahe, love, love, love that movie so much. I love the way she could be gum, I love DDLJ, but also some unknown, not really unknown, but like kind of under the radar movies that maybe didn't make so much of a big hype. Like it made a big hype because it was Shah Ruh Khan, but I don't I don't feel like they kind of stayed in the limelight for long. Um Rabhune Banadi Jodi. I really like that movie.

SPEAKER_08 31:44

Oh no that's Anuchka's debut movie. Yeah it's weird as well.

SPEAKER_00 31:47

Strange movie is debut.

SPEAKER_08 31:49

YRF again, but like strange movie.

SPEAKER_00 31:52

Come on, dude. It was a nice movie. Okay. Another some people, money, will think this is a great movie. Dilto Pagle He, which I I don't know. I was not a big fan of this movie, but it is a rom com y type of movie.

SPEAKER_08 32:07

It's a rom-com movie. Um, yes, I like that Dilto Pagle. I like some underrated movies of uh of Sharokan. I I think a lot of people haven't watched it. Umana Diwana with Ravena Tundan. I think it's hilarious movie. I love that movie. I don't know why. It's such a it's so silly, but it's just so fun to watch. But there's also another one um with with um Sonali Bendry, English Babu de Esime.

SPEAKER_00 32:30

Oh, I love that movie.

SPEAKER_08 32:32

That's such a fun movie.

SPEAKER_00 32:32

Sonali Bendry does a great job in that movie. There's one part where like he falls or something, and he's like, Oh, you know what? There's a banana peel. I don't know why, but me and my friends thought that was so funny.

SPEAKER_08 33:02

But we can't forget in the 90s, Govinda and Salman Khan did a lot of a lot of Aram Khan movies and um some honor mesh from my side is like hero number one was hilarious with Kurish Makapoor and Govinda and then Salman Khan movies, there's so many of them, but like I one of the ones that I watch all the time is Child Maribai.

SPEAKER_01 33:23

I don't know why. I just like that movie.

SPEAKER_08 33:25

I don't I can't give you a particular reason, but I get so much joy watching that movie, Chal Maribi. I love Salman Khan and Sajadud's camaraderie in that they're the way they play off of each other's each other each other's energy is great, and our favorite couple, Kirishima and Salman Khan, should need to get married together. Please just please you still have a chance.

SPEAKER_01 33:46

Go do it. Yes, exactly. I need that.

SPEAKER_08 34:30

If you were a s if you could be a rom com character, which one who do you see yourself to be like a rom com character? Oh, just generally?

SPEAKER_07 34:38

In generally, if you could, yeah, who would you see?

SPEAKER_00 34:41

I would be Sharuk with arms. That's who I would be.

SPEAKER_08 34:48

I see what you would be. Alright, I see. How about you? Um, I actually don't know. I don't I don't see myself. I don't know. I just I I don't know. I probably would see myself as Sharokhan from the Leg. See? We both picked the Sharuk.

SPEAKER_00 35:02

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay, money, it is blind time. Are you ready? Yes, I am. Alright. This studio boss invested a lot of money and time nurturing an A-list actress, but then she left to raise her kids and support her sports superstar husband. But the studio boss is delighted with the success and audience acceptance of a new actress whose debut movie was a blockbuster hit. She's now his protege and will be the first choice when it comes to female leads of marquee projects. She has been asked to keep her relationship with her co-star low-key and focus on her career. Can you guess? The old actress, the new actress, and the studio.

SPEAKER_08 36:01

Is it Anushka Sharma? I feel like it has to be, right? And why are I don't know who the new person is. Is it Anit Pada? I don't know. Yeah, good job.

SPEAKER_00 36:13

And I guess she's in a relationship with her co-star, Ahan Pande.

SPEAKER_08 36:18

I think so. I'm here, like you you see a little bit of here and there that they're supposed to be in a relationship or something like that. It's unclear. Like I saw something. Who knows? I mean, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 36:26

I just feel like sometimes if just if you can see a boy and a girl together doesn't mean that they're dating. Exactly, exactly. Yeah, you just don't know, but who knows? Yeah. We'll see. We will see. Okay, I've got uh one more. This Bollywood superstar's excessive demands during shoots was called called out by a filmmaker notorious for not paying his crew. As per sources, the claims were true. The movie in question was to be directed by a South Indian director. On the first night of the shoot, six vanity vans landed at the venue. Upon realizing that all the vans were for the superstar, the producers lost their cool and were convinced that working with the star would entail huge costs. They made up flimsy excuses to cancel the shoot and asked the star to go back to Mumbai. Can you guess who it is?

SPEAKER_08 37:16

I don't know. Is it I could be like Saman Khan? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 37:21

No. Do you remember someone was kind of taken out of a movie, a Southeast movie named Roxas?

SPEAKER_08 37:30

No, is it Renvier? I can't remember. Yes, Renvier sing. Yeah, yeah. I remember, yeah, we talked about how you how you like moved from the thing, but he was also like flirting with like the the co-star or something.

SPEAKER_00 37:45

That could have been another roommate.

SPEAKER_08 37:46

Yeah, that could have been another roommate. I remember that. I remember that was one of the things too. Remember, he was like taken out or something. Wow, Renvier. Just talking about how like wholesome he was. But you know, we don't know these people at all.

SPEAKER_00 37:57

We don't. At the end of the day, we don't. And you know what? Success really does change people sometimes. So one more blind for you. This one you're gonna guess.

SPEAKER_08 38:07

Please. I mean, I guess all of them so far. I'm good.

SPEAKER_00 38:10

You have. You have. We had earlier written about this female superstar's mother being on the lookout for an industrialist groom for her daughter, and her not being happy with her daughter's relationship with her much younger NRI NRI boyfriend. As per sources, the two have been having huge fights over it. The superstar daughter wants to marry her NRI boyfriend, but her mother is in no mood to listen. Can you guess?

SPEAKER_08 38:36

I think it's crazy Sanan, right? We talked about this. Crazy Sanan?

SPEAKER_00 38:39

Yes, yes, Crazy Sannon and her mom are like there's a lot of dishum dishoom happening, I guess, within the family. Well, she wants to marry Kabir Bahia and her mom's like, No, you need to marry a richer boy than him.

SPEAKER_08 38:51

Is Kabir Bahia's not even poor?

SPEAKER_00 38:54

I don't know. She w her mom wants an industrialist groom for her.

SPEAKER_08 38:58

Alright, well, she's not she's the one to be she's the one to be a cursed my mom who wanted an industrialist for her husband and then like Look how that turned out.

SPEAKER_00 39:07

Exactly. But you know what's funny, they're calling Kriti Sandon a superstar. I mean, I do like her, but I don't think they call her a superstar in real life. Well, anyway, those are your blinds, my friends. Enjoy. Okay, Money, it is vow time. What are the polls saying?

SPEAKER_08 39:27

Alright, so this week on the polls, we have the song Panuari, I think it's pronounced. Uh, it's from uh you know, Sunny Senskari, Kitusikumari. It's a new song that came out. It's actually a fun song. I like it. I think it's a fun song.

SPEAKER_00 39:41

Actually, all the songs in that movie are are looking to be good except Bajuria. So good. I only know those two songs. What other song came out? There's one there, I feel like there was a third one that just came out. Um could be completely wrong in just making it up. But um, yeah, good songs. I like Bajuria. Again, current Johar is gonna give us good songs. We know that. He is, we know, we know that.

SPEAKER_08 40:02

We already know all that stuff.

SPEAKER_00 40:35

Yes, okay, so what's your vow?

SPEAKER_08 40:37

My vowel is a song I randomly just came upon, and it is called um Sonia, and it is by a girl her name is Grunur Anand. She's a lead vocalist, and it's with it's like a collaboration with this girl named Nicole Black. Um it's really fun. Um yeah, so the song is really cool. I like it. I was listening to it on my plane ride back, and it was a really fun song.

SPEAKER_00 41:30

Nice. I will listen to it. Um, so my vow for the week is it's an old, older song, a Telugu song, um, and it's actually sung by Arman Malik. Um the song's name is Nalareni Kaladana, and it's from the movie Dharma Puri. Um fun fact about Arman Malik, his mom is Telugu, and that's why he like when you listen to his songs, you don't see um like a mismatch in pronunciation in terms of like an like a more Bombay accent or Hindi accent added to the Telugu songs because he speaks Thelugu. So I was like, oh, I really like your songs, and he has a really nice voice too.

SPEAKER_08 42:07

And you know, but you know how I am, I don't know artists, so I have no idea who you're talking about. I'm an Malik. You gotta give me another give me a Bollywood song of his that I would remember.

SPEAKER_00 42:15

Um hold on, let me look at this. I was like, I know the name. He's Anumalik's nephew. He's Anumalik's nephew.

SPEAKER_08 42:21
