Great Review... I wanna recommend you a criticproof INDIAN MOVIE... "SARDAR UDHAM (2021) is the best bollywood movie ever made." IMDB 8.4. ROTTEN TOMATOES 94% (Highly critically acclaimed) Mark my words you will not forget this movie. IT IS THE GREATEST STORY YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF. It will break your stereotype regarding indian movies that they are only song and dance and fun. *It will change your top 10 movie list of all times.* IT IS A MODERN CLASSIC. *You'll experience the new dimension of Indian Cinema.* *An exceptional Gem.* The above description of the movie is not an exaggeration. You'll understand when you watch it. THANK YOU Brother.
Love this, thank you! We will absolutely make this our next Indian film, a couple other people recommended that on our review of RRR. Can't wait! Thanks for watching and for leaving us the nicely detailed comment, brother! We appreciate you.
@@esotericacinema Watch it as soon as possible. You'll be blown away in a weird way.
@@esotericacinema Please watch it immediately. You'll be blown away in a weird way.
@@esotericacinema You have to watch it asap. You guys will be blown away in a weird way.
Where are the actual SHOWN examples?
UA-cam copyright permissions are all over the map and we're still figuring out what we can and can't use but expect a lot more visual examples in future videos as we continue to understand this platform. We would love nothing more than to have full, unadulterated access to any and all clips but not that easy as a small, newer channel.
Bahubali 1 and 2 Eega Magadheera Watch these movies from the same director of rrr other his movies doesn't work for you
C/o kancharapalam (Netflix) Cinemabandi (Netflix) Super deluxe (Netflix) Sardar udam (prime) Tumbadd (prime) 777 Charlie (prime) Jallikattu (prime) I recommend you to watch these movies u will love it
Have a great day ❤
My sister said that midsommar should be rated 21+
I love that we look like a couple of ringside announcers in the thumbnail 😂
The goodness ends at the packaging. In typical Cameron fashion, he RUINED this film with digital fuckery.
I haven't had a chance to review the actual film yet, what did he change? Did they pull an E.T./Star Wars and wholesale swap stuff out?
@@esotericacinema Slathered it with DNR, removed film grain then put fake grain back over it, and didn't use an actual new 4K scan of the original negative. It's the same for ALIENS and True Lies as well. Total shitshow.
RRR- The Most Entertaining Flick From EARRRTH
I had the special ed laserdisc of the abyss
The original, so cool!
it was the first laserdisc to have THX. Remember that@@esotericacinema
Tight work homie! Someone’s totally stealing your digital passkey. Take that corporate giant overlords!! 😂 Can’t wait to hear what you think about the 4k hdr version. I loved mine.
lol, thanks my man! Joke's on them, I already redeemed it. So stoked to watch this one again!
Love the analysis guys: let me try to clarify some stuff yoh guys were talking about 1) Hindi and Telugu is not similar languages. A person who only speaks only hindi or Telugu wouldn't understand one another. Netflix took just the Hindi version for streaming and Rajamouli was super angry about it. Funny thing is he expressed his angry during an interactive session with the Russo brothers, that was hosted by Netflix 😂 2) It is indeed kind of a natural chloroform they through at the tiger. Just after Bheem's introduction scenes by the river (the upside down shot), there is a brief scene were you can see they are making that potion (which might look like cooking with a spoon but it is not). 3) Some people mentioned that British were treated like comic villians and very shown absolute brutal monster. Well the truth is, British rule in Indian which spanned for almost 200 years (ended only in 1947) were more or less kind of comic villians ( stuff those mates did in our country spans from comic egoistic stuff to outright demonic). Our first revolt for Indipendence took place in 1857. The captured prisoners were tied to the cannons and fired at point blank. Year 1919: British kills thousands of men, women and children who were peacefully protesting against an oppressive act passed by the colonial British govt. The incident is called Jallianwalla Bagh massacre.( Kindly look it up). Infact, what ever they shown British are doing in the movie is actually pales in comparison to what they actually did. On a side note: There is a brilliant movie called Sardar Udham, which was released in 2021 that showcased the story of Jalianwala Bagh Massacre which can be found in Amazon. Kindly what it if possible Keep up the good work lads 👍🏽
Thanks so much for the detailed description! A lot of great information here that informs many of the questions we had. We appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching!
I don't think it's overrated it's just not a realistic action film, instead it's more of a philosophical film asking the question how far is too far. It poses the question in the form of Rama Raju
At the ending he does represent god so 🙃🙃
classic. one of my top 40.
So good! Looking forward to watching some of Jarmusch's other films now.
Acceptance is what we need. Different but grounded. Thanks for the review

Super review im telugu state Love my fav director

No it's great. Cope

Hey dude(s). You just popped up on my homepage, I'm assuming because we review the same sort of stuff. Great video. I'll go through more of your content over the weekend. Sub'd 🖐😀
My (our?) man! Thanks for reaching out, appreciate the intro and kind words. Just sub'd back! We do all sorts of films from across the spectrum, and love horror and sci-fi, too!. We just try to look at anything slightly-to-very off the beaten path. Gonna check out your vids this weekend, also, let's stay in touch and help each other out where we can! Looking forward to watching.
@@esotericacinema Sounds dandy, speak shortly 👍
Great review guys. Enjoyed the puns 😂
Entirely appropriate for this film! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed. : )
10/10 best movie ever
I also wanted to add one more point that, why this movie connected to almost all people over the overseas coz In this movie physics didn't entirely die in action sequence and actions were looks perfect on this movie. And also in this movie Heroes were neither super humans nor average humans but they were perfect humans who can do all these things in real life.
RRR is a ridiculous movie.
In the best way!
Ridiculously wonderful 😊.
Thanks for the in depth analysis of this movie... Some amazing must watch Indian masterpieces for you guys... 1. Andhadhun (Dark comedy, thriller, crime) 2. Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara (Road, friendship, comedy) 3. 3 Idiots (friendship, comedy, drama) 4. Barfi (Romance, comedy, musical, drama) 5. The lunchbox (romance, drama)
Thanks for the recommendations! We look forward to checking these out
@@esotericacinema that’s actually a pretty good list especially if you are a beginner to indian cinema !
In the introduction of Bheem u can see his tribes people are brewing a sedative concoction, the scene shows the fruit of datura plant in the concoction , which belongs to the nightshade plant family. It’s a narcotic plant and was used as sedative in the olden days.
Thanks for letting us know! We've been waiting for someone to let us know, we were certain it was based on a real plant. Appreciate the info and thanks for watching 😃
Baz is heavily influenced by Bollywood....his own words
Thanks guys ❤
Good work..just wanted to tell you that there is a film called " eega " made by the same director where a fly takes rebirth to take revenge. The action scenes in that film are also worth discussing. Do give it a try some day.
Thanks! That sounds amazing, we would both enjoy watching that. We will add it to our list, appreciate the recommendation!
Good to go🎉
71 subscribers and you talk like you're really super trusted media house
Thanks for the kind words, and for watching : )
22:00 Hindi and Telugu are not similar languages. Also there is so much visual and character symbolism in this movies that goes over the head of even Indians, i don't think ppl outside of India wl fully get the references. just one out of several character symbolisms: In the raju introduction scene, he is introduced with a fire reflection shot in his eye ball, later when he jumps into the pool of people and searching for the red shirt guy who threw rock from atop watch tower, the sound we here in the background is of an Eagle, if u look around in the scene there is no eagle there. raju is like an Eagle, he catching his prey, he is laser focussed on this prey thorughout the scene just like an eagle, while the mob is hitting him or he is hitting the mob he doesn't even look at them, his eyes are always focussed on his prey. just like an eagle would pluck out fish out of water, he plucked out one guy in a sea of mob. after he returns the prey he calms himself down with water in a red bucket name fire(fire safety bucket). I can state at least 10 other such scenes that just goes over the heads of most viewers!! who said Blockbuster films don't hv depth?
Great observation! Thanks for bringing that to our attention and thanks for watching. I'm sure there's a number of interesting flourishes throughout that could be identified upon repeat viewings that add further depth.
I like your detailed analysis of the film. This format of analysis is very appreciated. Please keep it up!
Thanks very much! We'll be reviewing different films from across the world and Indian cinema will be part of our regular rotation!
Hiii there... How r u... Hope u remember about..... Sardar udham.... Movie....
We haven't forgotten, we're looking at different films from across the world and have several Indian movies coming up. We're going to do Gangubai Kathiawadi next, and then Sardar Udham will likely be the one after. : )
@@esotericacinema who recommend u that movie... Biography of a prostitute n showing her positive image... Anyway..
You should keep an eye out for that review, we actually had more of a difference of opinion than usual and that was one of the central points of discussion. Hopefully the debate makes for some interesting points to consider.
@@esotericacinema i m sure u r right about our opinion n u r free to watch anything... It's ur choice... I have just given my opinion... N forget about the review video I haven't seen the movie yet.. N I think I will not watch it ever... Anyway good luck
This made me smile, as a lifelong personal friend of Ryan Seybold whom we have discussed many movies, this is the best breakdown of the movie, learned so much. Told him a long time ago he had to watch that movie!
So cool! Yeah, the man knows a thing or two about film. Thanks so much for watching and for your support! Glad you learned a lot, and glad Ryan is enjoying his trip up Kubrick mountain. : )
