SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Munni.
Hello.
What did we do on Thursday at10.40 p.m.?
Sleep.
We did not sleep.
Nope.
We went to Sayara.
We drove about 20 miles awayfrom where we live to go to
(00:23):
Sayara.
And I have thoughts.
I think you have thoughts aswell.
But before the thoughts, can yougive us a brief synopsis of what
the story is?
So spoilers included in thisepisode.
It's about two people that meeteach other spontaneously and end
up becoming friends.
And then through their journey,they fall in love.
Yes.
And she's a very simple type ofchick.
(00:46):
And he's kind of tormented rockstar-y, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
She's simple, also kind oftormented a little bit, I think,
right?
Yeah, she does have a past.
She has a past.
So she has a past.
He has his past.
They meet.
They help.
They help heal each otherwhatever way they possibly can.
They fall in love.
Then comes a very interestingstoryline.
(01:08):
So she is sick.
She has an early form ofAlzheimer's, which is a thing.
We looked it up to make sure.
It's not.
very common at all very commonand they say in the movie though
they also say in the movie thatone girl from china at 17 yes
they talk about that and which ilooked up to i was like okay
let's make sure like there's noplot holes in this right yeah so
(01:30):
they there is she's a rare caseso she has this alzheimer's
disease and um he later findsout and one of the problems is
that Sometimes things trigger itand she forgets stuff and she
constantly forgets things.
I mean, I feel like I haveshort-term memory loss, but this
is really bad short-term memoryloss.
This is bad, right?
She forgets and then she comesback and then she kind of
(01:52):
remembers some of the thingsthat happened.
So in between all of this stuff,he's trying to be a rock star,
but he steps back because hewants to take care of her.
And when he realizes that hisdream, that he's sacrificing it
for her, she kind of runs awayfrom him.
And then he spends like a yearand a half just like looking for
her.
And everything's based off ofmusic for this movie.
(02:14):
So like you see a lot of themusic composition and where it
comes from and how each of thesongs like relate.
And the last song that theyrepeat constantly is the main
song, the movie.
The title song.
And I think like in the one anda half years that he's looking
for you, he's blown up into thisbig rock star.
He's doing like big concerts atlike the O2 in London.
(02:37):
Like all around the world.
So he's like big dude, but stillvery sad, sad man, but sad man,
sad man, sad man.
Okay.
Now acting.
What did you think?
Okay.
Personally for me, newcomers andwe've been seeing so many
newcomers we've seen so many newlike nepo kids and we talk about
I think our episodes have beenso much about nepotism and like
(02:59):
how we think they're so bad andthey should not be in the
industry I honestly think Idon't know what this kid did um
Ahan Pandey first I'm gonna talkabout Ahan Pandey first um he
was good this kid even from thetrailer when I first saw the
trailer I thought he was doing agreat job on the scenes and then
watching the movie I thought hedid really good there were like
his eyes his eyes his eyesEmoted.
(03:22):
Like, he didn't have to say aword, and you could tell what he
was feeling just by his eyes.
And so, Muni, I read that he wasasked to be in Archie's, and he
politely declined and waited.
Whoa, that is gossip that Ididn't know.
Smart man.
Yeah, so he declined becauseI...
(03:42):
I guess maybe he felt like hewasn't ready yet because that
was a few years ago, I believe,right?
Half ago, maybe two years, yeah.
Yeah, so then I think he justwasn't ready for it or possibly
wanted something else.
And the something else that cameto him turned him into a movie
star overnight.
And not even just because of themusic, because we've been
talking about how amazing themusic is.
(04:02):
Like we just said, his actingwas fantastic.
Like really, really good.
For a newcomer, especially anewcomer, I feel like he'll grow
more.
Oh, yeah.
There were times that, like yousaid, he was just speaking with
his eyes.
Okay, so now we talked aboutAhan.
What about Anit?
Anit Padha.
That girl...
Okay, Ahan is good as a debut.
(04:22):
She was phenomenal.
She was so much better than him,right?
Like, he was great.
She was exceptional.
She...
There are scenes of her when shecries that...
I like felt it because the wayshe was she was just so good I
know you didn't feel it I knowyou felt it I saw all your tears
come out too so yeah I just itwas just like she was just so
(04:44):
good at it and I was shockedlike her anger her crying and
you know how you were talkingabout like his eyes she did it
with her eyes too I feel likeshe had a lot more lines than he
did I don't know somewhere Ifelt like she talked a little
bit I don't know about the linesbut she had a lot more emotional
scenes and okay where like likeyou could actually see the
acting come through like she wasreally feeling what she was
Yeah, yeah, yeah Um, but I thinkalso like from, with her, her
(05:14):
background, she's, um, I thinkshe's from Amritsar and she's
kind of like a nobody.
I don't think she has anyBollywood, like not like a, not
a nobody, nobody, but shedoesn't have any Bollywood
connections.
She has no godfather, right?
She has no godfather inBollywood.
She did like, she worked reallyhard.
I was doing something likereading, reading some things
about her.
Like she did a lot ofcommercials.
Um, and then I heard somewhere,again, heard, read, saw it on
(05:35):
TikTok and Instagram that AhanFande was the one that like
actually pulled her, um, intothe mood, like really wanted her
to be in the movie.
Okay, so can I tell you how Ifelt about this movie?
We are here for that particularreason.
Okay, so I was so excited.
I think I egged you on intocoming because I think you were
like, dude, that's going to beso late, whatever.
(05:55):
And I was like, whatever, we'regoing to do it, Monique.
Come on, Monique.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
So we did it.
We got there and I was soexcited.
Like, I was really, reallyexcited.
Yes, you were very excited.
You actually were very excited.
At the end of the movie, though,I was like...
Huh?
Like, I felt like it just endeda little bit abruptly for me.
Like, you know, like, I've heardthat, like, there's, oh, my God,
(06:20):
the love story and this andthat.
I'm like, listen, there areother movies out there in the
Bollywood world where the lovestory, I felt, was much better
than this love story.
It was a good love story.
It was a good movie.
Great acting.
I felt like the storyline for medid not hit As much as it has
(06:40):
hit you.
Others, others, others.
You and others, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
It was good, but I was...
The excitement that I had in thebeginning did not continue to
the end.
I felt...
I told you this at the theaterat the end.
I'm like, I felt...
The way I, like, I was like,wait, this is it?
This is where it ends?
(07:00):
I felt like how Katapa killedBahubali.
I was like, this is where itends?
But I was actually excited aboutthat movie because I knew there
was a part two.
There's no part two to Sayara.
No.
There is not part two.
What?
Like, this?
What?
So that's how I felt.
But let me, let me, let me hearyour feelings.
So I, I absolutely love themovie.
(07:21):
I thought, I thought the, theway they showed the love story,
the way their innocent love,like falling in love.
I think for me, when I was, whenI was watching, I was like, it's
like, I was like, why is ithitting me so much?
Because Bollywood movies for solong, I have not felt any like
real feelings.
Like I think Rocky or Ronnie wasprobably my last one where I was
like, oh my God.
(07:41):
Or like a last one in a longtime where I was like, oh my
God, the story is so good.
The love story is really cute.
I really like it.
Blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, why do I like itso much as I'm watching the
movie?
And I'm like, huh?
It kind of reminds me ofK-drama, like a K-drama type of
style where like the girl, likeit just the way the flow was, it
just felt like that.
It was just something about...
the innocent love about how theyfell in love how they were
(08:04):
friends what happened after thatafterwards and I think for me
specifically it was like howeach of their love what the
sacrifice for each of them wasright there are particular
scenes and I can go breaking itall on more like whoever wants
to talk to me please no thankyou I can break it down not you
not you whoever wants to talk tome I'll break it down you don't
need to but for me it was likeAre there great cinemas out
(08:25):
there?
Are there great movies outthere?
Yeah.
Have there been any great moviesout here in the last year and a
half on romance?
No, I don't think so.
I can't think back to one.
And Rocky Rani is a completelydifferent genre.
Very different.
Yeah, I'm not trying to comparethose two movies together at
all.
Like for the longest time Ifound a movie, like I saw a
movie that was like, Like, ithad a...
(08:46):
For me, it had a good story.
Was the Alzheimer thing a littleout there?
Yeah.
And I really enjoyed it.
However, now we can talk aboutthe actual fan reactions.
Okay, so the fan reactions we'reseeing on TikTok and Instagram
of people in India, like...
Here, too.
Not just India.
Here, too.
Here, too.
Yeah.
In the Western world as well.
(09:07):
The fact that they're, like,crying...
Like...
Ripping their...
Hold on.
You, at one moment duringintermission, you turned around
and said, where is the otherstuff?
I was like, what other stuff?
You know when people are rippingtheir shirts off?
I was like, what?
And beating their chests andcrying.
UNKNOWN (09:24):
I'm like...
SPEAKER_00 (09:24):
like, what?
Where is a scene where peoplewant to rip off their clothes
because it's so good?
I don't see that.
I was like, honestly, what areyou talking about?
Why are they crying as ifhonestly, like somebody they
knew had just passed away, likesomebody they're very close to
has passed away, like they'renever going to see this person
again.
(09:44):
That's how some of this reactionis that I've been seeing on
TikTok and Instagram.
And I'm like, Do you guys justnot, have you not seen any good
stories?
Like, is this the only thingyour generation is going to
have?
Like, what?
I was very confused.
But, okay, so, like, I totallyagree.
Some of the reactions came up onmy TikTok.
(10:05):
And it was, like, we're takingtissues in the theater.
And then it, like, shows themcrying their eyes out.
And maybe they're emotionalpeople.
And that could be it, right?
Not even crying.
Like, it's almost, like,violently crying.
Like, like.
Some people on TikTok, theywere, like, violently crying.
And I was, like, I cried.
I didn't cry.
You were very soft and cuteabout your cry.
There was no cute.
Yeah.
(10:25):
I, but I wasn't like, there aremovies where I was, I ball, like
I do bother movies where I do.
This wasn't like that.
It was very cute type of stuffthat happened in the movie that
made me tear up, but that's it.
I will say I cry in movies.
So I cried at those scenes, butsome of these people were like,
I was like, I, I also don't getwhy you're crying that much.
Again, you could love the movie.
(10:46):
Absolutely love it.
But that much crying and tearsare just like, I, it's, I feel
like people who might have gonethrough a bad breakup recently
probably should have watched itor something like that.
But I don't think that's whypeople were crying.
I think they were crying, likeyou said, because of the
innocent love story and how hereally stood by her to the very
end.
I get that.
But to cry that much about it?
(11:07):
Like...
It's a little bit much.
No, like, again, like I said,they were, like, you know how
Oprah has termed the ugly cry?
Like, they have done the uglycry throughout the movie or
maybe towards the end of themovie, whenever, like, I just
don't, I don't understand.
Also, like, there's other peopleon TikTok, like, saying what's
similar to what you're saying,but actually being really mean.
(11:30):
Like, oh, you guys, like, youguys don't know anything better.
It's like, this...
If you think about the moviesthat have come out in the last
10 years.
They don't.
They don't know anything better.
Yeah, yeah.
There's nothing good out there.
They have old men in their 60sromancing young girls in their
20s and doing these ridiculousmovies.
There's no item number in thismovie at all.
(11:50):
There was nothing like that.
Everything was purely based onthe two characters and their
love story.
And actually, all the songs weresituational, like background
songs, right?
There was no forcedchoreographed songs, right?
No, nothing forced.
Everything flowed with themoment.
That's why I think I love thesongs even more now.
Mohit Suri does such a good jobwith getting the right music for
(12:12):
the entire movie.
I loved the album before and Ithink we've talked about it so
much.
And then leaving the theater, Ihad to hear the entire album all
over again.
Now I have more feelings for it.
More about the album.
Because It just like worked sowell.
And you reminisce the scenes,right?
And as you're like, I saw youbopping your head and singing to
(12:35):
your heart's content in the carwhen you're driving next to me.
In the car.
I really put it up high.
And I was like, this is vibingtoo.
It was just so good.
I don't know how to explain it.
So those are our feelings.
So after going all through allof this, would you recommend
someone watching it?
Yeah, yeah.
I think they should watch it.
But don't have highexpectations.
(12:56):
Because I think if you don'thave high expectations You're
probably going to really loveit.
I think I really was into thehype that I was seeing and
stuff.
I try not to watch much aboutit.
But like you couldn't notthough.
Like just everything as you'rescrolling, it's like sayada,
sayada, sayada, right?
So I couldn't not have a fewexpectations.
And I think maybe that kind ofovertook my feelings a bit.
(13:18):
And that's why at the end I'mlike, hmm.
Hmm.
Yeah.
UNKNOWN (13:23):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (13:24):
I get it.
I get it.
I think for me, I wouldabsolutely recommend it.
If people can go see it intheater, I would say see it in
theater.
If you don't want to see it intheaters, definitely watch it
when it comes on Netflix.
I avoided watching anythingabout it.
I didn't want any spoilers.
I wanted nothing on it because Ireally wanted to have my own
feeling to it.
So even though it was on mynewsfeed, I would just skip it.
I was like, don't look.
(13:45):
Good.
Okay.
Well, so just to tie it up,great acting, great songs.
I was okay with the movie andyou thought it was amazing,
right?
I thought it was great.
But we both feel that if youhave time to go watch it in the
theater, definitely go to getthe experience or watch it on
(14:05):
Netflix.
It will be out soon, I'm sure.
All right, guys.
This was a special episode.
We might have a series ofspecial episodes, movie reviews.
Bye.
Bye.
Like, share, follow.
SPEAKER_01 (14:19):
Say yaara tu to
badla nahi hai Mausam zara saa
rootha hua hai
SPEAKER_00 (14:46):
I feel like they
have been tortured, have
tortured souls.
Oh, wow.
You're going way deep.
Okay.
Okay.
I shouldn't talk about that.
We should cut that out, right?
Why not?
We're not into karmic pastshere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Let's go back to that.
