Sardar Udham (Spoiler Filled Review): Indian Cine-MANIACS!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- On the latest episode of YKY we discuss Debbie's pick, which came highly recommended by our Indian watchers. We were looking for a more "grounded Indian film" after the last two we watched. This definitely meets that criteria. It's the true story of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and one man's two-decade plan to assassinate the man responsible for the horrific act against the people of India. It is a powerful and disturbing film directed by Shoojit Sircar with a mesmerizing lead performance by Vicky Singh. This film is not for the weak of heart do not expect RRR or Baahubali. This is a serious film about serious events.

For the one who asked, the Indian committee who chooses movies for oscars, didn’t put up Sardar Udham for the international film category as it might ‘hurt the sentiments of British’ 🙄🙄
Very true, such is their infiltration in our system even today
as sardar said, down with the imperialists
Sometimes the truth hurts!
@@seanpaulmurphy4447 exactly… this truth portrayed in the movie should hurt the British
28:38 No he wasn't shamed and punished, he was removed but he got his pension till his death. And in Britain a crowdfund was done for his retirement fund and common British people donated, including Rudyard Kipling, the author of the jungle book.
Sad.
what kipling also?
for horror movie consider watching TUMBADD. the greatest horror movie coming out of india yet.
It is more about Greed than horror.
Looking forward to see it.
Watch our Tumbadd review if you haven’t!
It's completely a wrong perception that all indian movies have song and dance .It depends on the kind of movie they are making mostly,and American musical and indian musicals totally have different feel since English is very limited when used for song or description while india has a history of doing it well with beautiful languages to help with .
How is it wrong? Most Indian movie do have an element of song and dance. Some more and some less
Not all , so u r wrong .
Great discussion. Gandhi was a divisive figure partly because though he preached non violence for the Indian freedom movement , he also had no problem in asking a million Indians to fight for the British in their battles in world war2.
I can see how that contradiction would bother people! In America, we only hear good things about Gandhi.
He did had problem about that, thats why he launched quit India movement... He even asked people to resign from their jobs .... You are just spreading misinformation
@@kr8s We're learning a lot about India doing these films. Thanks.
@@seanpaulmurphy4447 thankyou, just want to tell you India is under far right wing movement at this moment, that's why the ideas and ethics of Gandhi doesn't suit them so they are trying to distort facts.
A lot of misinformation is being spread about Gandhi and people who doesn't have much knowledge buy into those WhatsApp forwards so easily.
Everyone of 70+ age here speaks very highly of Gandhi and his role in Indian freedom but next generation will have fabricated opinions about him. And they hate his methods of peacefull protest and truth is paramount. Unfortunately
@@kr8s Thanks. It's hard for us to know what the Indian people think of him. We have one opinion here. But it's same here. One year we idolize a politician, the next year he treat him like a villain.
The soldiers in jalianwala bagh was nepali- gurkha soldiers
Also Churchill did worse to the Bengal famine
And fr baloch region
19:20 Sardar Udham
*Next watch ANDHADUN(thriller) or TUMBAAD(horror).you will love them both for sure.*
*you should watch KANTARA in US theatres if possible.its a phenomenon after RRR.*
*Sakkini Dakkini is a flop movie in india🇮🇳*
*In Sardar udham, soldiers are from Nepal or Afghanistan I guess because in the same region soldiers won't shoot their own regional people. Even a few of these soldiers shot the wrong side, the British army head corrected them in the massacre*
I think we missed Kantara in my area. I wanted to see it but we had some family gatherings....
3 idiots I don't know you like it or not.
Watch -
--- Sita Ramam
--- Vikram
--- Barfi
--- Zindagi Na milegi dobara
--- Minnal Murali
--- Aprachit
--- 96
--- Major
--- URI (Vicky kaushal)
Which three are the idiots? LOL
From an Indian historical perspective,the ‘Gandhi persona’ is cultivated for the world which likes to preach what they themselves don’t follow.Those who love to indulge in moral shaming others using what that persona represents( utopian ideals like absolute non violence etc which was actually never practiced even by Gandhi).So reality and Gandhi the person’ that India had to endure and still does is quite different. .Gandhi the persona would have never happened without British effort. But that’s what colonialism does.It damages a country in more ways than one ,creating ideological conflicts in the people they want to control usually supporting the one that serves their purpose as the right one.Many Indians also joined the army as their traditional occupations had been destroyed and they had no means of livelihood.Soldiers in this particular massacre were Gurkhas ( Nepali soldiers in the British army,India still retains some regiments today).The British used this a lot as a divide and rule policy.They would have brutal and barbaric non Indian Muslim guards to supervise Hindu revolutionary prisoners on life sentences to break them etc.The details are very complicated and graphic.The movie Gandhi is also not very well liked in India as it basically whitewashes what happened ,with a little conflict thrown in here and there and is mainly for the western audience.It never mentions the millions dead and the cruelty they used.Basically the British ‘Raj’ was one of the most racist,brutal,bigoted rules in history.( The no. of dead from famines alone in those 200 years is conservatively 30 million).And yes ,they have not apologized for anything nor returned any of the loot.That’s also why most Indians thought RRR went soft on them.
Also to the point about guilt,there was none because at that time they actually believed they were a better race.It’s the same with American Indians and white colonizers.One just has to watch the umpteenth offensive cowboy movies.The real problem is not the past,it’s what is happening now.I have heard many Americans speak up about it.To be very honest, not only have the british not acknowledged their wrongdoings ,I don’t remember any British movie or narrative which is not condescending,gaslighting or misrepresenting the Indian story till date.So I think that attitude of superiority still persists there,way more than in the US.
Also Sardar Uddham was not sent to the Oscars as some jury members thought it might seem that Indians are anti British.Just proves the point about the damage colonialism caused.
India horror genre is not very well developed but Tumbaad was a genre defining movie indeed,as it’s not really horror but folklore horror about human nature?
Yes, this is (almost) my opinion as well.
Thanks for the insights. Yes, we treated the Native Americans very badly. We still do. However, the worse thing that happened to the Native Americans was the fact that entire civilizations and people were essentially wiped out by plagues inadvertently brought by early explorers. Many Europeans colonizers considered America and empty land, but it was mainly empty due to a series of epidemics.
@@seanpaulmurphy4447 Not entirely inadvertently.They were 'gifted' cholera laden blankets as exchange gifts by the explorers as well. Guess it was their version of thanksgiving.:((We see this often and it's not your fault.Colonizing countries do not teach their history to their people ,maybe because they would be ashamed?Americas were not emptied by incidental diseases alone.I would suggest the documentary ' Guns,germs and steel' for reference.Its well researched and excellently made.If one reads the history of colonization they teach in Britain,it would seem like they have done the colonies a favor!
@@seanpaulmurphy4447 I will thanks, but if the article is based on accounts of the colonizers ,it can be very biased.I don't deny that some might have died from contact with earlier French colonists either.The problem is intent.And colonizer intent was very clear in how they perceived the native people .I don't know much about the Americas in detail but the early British missionaries who wanted to enter India have lied through their teeth about Indian society,(which the world still believes )to market their cause to European people back home.And they got caught doing it too which was explained as an ultimately good thing as it was lying for a just cause - to civilize the savages with a 'god foresaken' religion.
@@RG-un2vl For early Native American numbers, we have to trust the early explorers because we have no accounts of the Native Americans. The situation was different than in India. India traded with the West and the East since ancient times. They weren't as biologically isolated. I believe even benign contact could have wiped out millions. Look at what the Black Death did to Europe or the Justinian plague did to the Eastern Roman Empire.

Gandhi was a man British choose to work with, he doesn’t represent most of India’s freedom struggle. British used Gandhi to suppress the freedom struggle & protect Brits.
For Indian horror movies Tumbaad is the best pick..trust us and give it a try..
I will check it out and probably recommend it next!
We will be reviewing this soon!
It's documented that the Indian soldiers were deliberately trying to aim at the wall, trying to empty as much ammo as possible and not shoot the people BUT WERE being observed and corrected continuously by General Dyre.
Try movie "the lunch box" . It was supposed to be nominated for OSCAR from India but couldn't make it due to politics.
Indians don't hate Britian or Europe , but yeah we are still waited ng for apology for colonisation from Britians leadership/Royal family.
British started capturing India by near 1750. By 1850 they have either defeated all Indian kingdoms or kings had surrendered to them.
Kings remained but with no real powers. So yeah many did become British puppet but none of them had any power to overthrow British by 1850.
Regarding Gandhi- he his highly controversial in India. Our Independence was gained after lots of bloodshed ,our country partitioned.
Gandhi asked non violence against British but asked Indians to fight World wars from British . Indian soldiers lost lives fighting British war . Attacking them at that time would have led to Independence during world war 1 itself.
Also many wars was also to retain colonisation. So Gandhi pushed Indian soldiers to help Britian in retaining Colonising other countries.
32:10 that was the Divide and Rule Policy of the British. They divided a United India into these multiple provinces, pitting one King against the other, and capturing Kingdoms through the "Doctrine of Lapse".
The fact is that the British only fought skirmishes in India. They never fought a "War" because they knew they'll get annihilated if they did. Instead they usurped power through deceit and by breaking/dividing India into multiple factions. They knew they can't fight a billion people, so they decided to target few: those Indian leaders who rose up to fight against Oppression. They were brutal in the treatment of the leaders. Many of these prisoners were sent to Kālā Pānī Jail (also called Cellular Jail) in the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Guantanamo Bay pales in comparison to what happened to the leaders in these jails.
They whitewash it by saying that India was never United and was always divided "provinces". That is pure hogwash and them just whitewashing their crimes. The Truth will come out and the World will know about it. Through education, movies whatever it might take. The Brits can no longer hide the evils of their ancestors. We are not expecting an apology or even reparations. We just want them to acknowledge the wrongs.
Somethings are so horrible, they cannot be forgotten or forgiven. But there can at least be a closure to that horrible chapter. The Brits haven't yet given closure to those wrongs and still act as if they never did it (or it wasn't them but the rich/wealthy class which did it etc etc. The list of excuses are endless).
I will admit I don't know much about the final Indian independence, but I read about the Europeans colonizing India and how they played peoples against each other to dominate the entire country. It was a crime.
GANDHI'S Role was minimal say former British PM Clement Attlee who signed on the decision to grant Independence to India.
Read full article....
A conversation took place between former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee and the then acting Governor of West Bengal Justice PB Chakraborthy. In 1956, Clement Attlee had come to India and stayed as a guest of the then Governor. Remember, Attlee was the man who, as the British PM, had signed on the decision to grant Independence to India.
Chakraborthy then wrote a letter to the publisher of RC Majumdar’s book, A History of Bengal. In this letter, the Chief Justice wrote, “When I was acting Governor, Lord Attlee, who had given us Independence by withdrawing British rule from India, spent two days in the Governor’s palace during his tour of India. At that time, I had a prolonged discussion with him regarding the real factors that had led the British to quit India.” Chakraborthy adds, “My direct question to Attlee was that since Gandhi’s Quit India movement had tapered off quite some time ago and in 1947 no such new compelling situation had arisen that would necessitate a hasty British departure, why did they had to leave?... Attlee cited several reasons, the principal among them being the erosion of loyalty to the British crown among the Indian Army and Navy personnel as a result of Netaji’s military activities.”
That’s not all. Chakraborthy adds, “Toward the end of our discussion, I asked Attlee what was the extent of Gandhi’s influence upon the British decision to quit India. Hearing this question, Attlee’s lips became twisted in a sarcastic smile as he slowly chewed out the word, m-i-n-i-m-a-l!’a
This startling conversation was first published by the Institute of Historical Review by author Ranjan Borra in 1982, in his piece on Netaji, the Indian National Army and the war of India’s liberation. To understand the significance of Attlee’s assertion, we have to go back in time to 1945. The Second World War had ended. The allied powers, led by Britain and the US, had won. The axis powers led by Hitler’s Germany had been vanquished. The victors wanted to impose justice on the defeated armies. In India, officers of Netaji Bose’s INA were put on trial for treason, torture and murder. This series of court martials came to be known as the Red Fort trials.

If you want to know truly how India got it's Independence on 15th August 1947, then i will have to enlighten you again, contrary to your belief, it was not due to "gandhi" or his partner and our 1st prime minister "nehru".
We got our independence due to the relentless and unacknowledged(for a long time) efforts of one man, "SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE"
People in our nation have divided beliefs regarding gandhi, some who are supportive of our own GOP, the congress party can't have enough of him and boast a lot about his non violent protest and all.
But then there is another section which is a bigger section than the 1st that think that gandhi & nehru were nothing but puppets of british installed at the helm by the british to rule our nation through them after they had declared they will give us Independence on 15th August 1947.
Personally I belong to the 2nd group, the far right, for me gandhi was a sham and a puppet and this nehru guy handed over our freedom fighters like Subhash Chandra Bose and Veer Savarkar to the british & americans after the WW2, which is nothing less than treachery.
So next time you want to watch that british movie "gandhi" again, take it with not just a pinch of salt but with a tonne of salt as it's funded, acted and made by the british to make themselves look good. Not a single gandhi movie other than that one has succeeded on the box office that was made by Indians.
Is there a good movie about Bose?
@@seanpaulmurphy4447 Yes. Gumnami Baba. It's a very good film
The old couple ❤️ is gem 💎 i love their review the most ❤️

The picture of a friend is arguably biggest Freedom Fighter of India Bhagat Singh.
‘Stree’ is an Indian horror comedy you should definitely watch.

Love Stree, it is hilarious. Second that.
No...instead go for TUMBADD
Great review! Glad you followed up the suggestion!
Some of the best horror picks ;
Tumbbad
Go Goa gone ( fun slasher type)
Pizza ( Tamil)
Lapachhapi
Bulbul
Aamis ( an absurd romantic horror)
Stree ( horror comedy)
Bhool bhulaiya ( horror dramedy)

We will be reviewing Tumbbad soon 😁
Govt didn't send it for Academy coz it hurts the Brits 😏
To understand better the Indian mind set what it done to us read "India that is Bharat" by jai sai Deepak
Watch kantara ..presently making storms in India ...what a movie
Subhash Chandra Bose was the real reason India won her Freedom!!! Do Watch his Biopic!
What is it called?
@@seanpaulmurphy4447 Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero' (2004)
When former british PM clement atley was once asked in 1950's or 60's, that why did brits leave India as gandhi's non violent satyagraha of 1942 was very much crushed?
He just replied saying one name, 'Subhash Chandra Bose'
Search for "Think School" on RUclips, it's an Indian channel which puts out good educational video, search Subhash Chandra Bose in it & you will understand all about our Independence story in a short & informative story
Thank you, I will definitely check that out. I of course keep seeing his name and learning he's shrouded behind the myth of Gandhi in western history so I want to learn more.
Satyagraha was crushed ? That's why Subash Chandra Bose himself called Gandhi father of the nation and asked people to join the satyagraha in 1943 from Berlin?
@@kr8s after Gandhi was jailed in the last stages of satyagraha, when he was released, he was a totally man, hebwent silent, untill the naval mutiny. He didn't utter much till then & was often said to be in samadhi. Naval mutiny was what woke up the people and riots & demonstrations started all over the nation, so much that later on army & riaf personnel also revolted, but in isolated incidents & out of nowhere british said they will provide us Independence on the condition that gandhi will be involved in the formation of future government.
As per Bose asking people to join, he may have done so to only keep the british busy on all fronts, to stretch them from inside & from outside through Indian National Army
@@kr8s satyagraha effectively ended in 1942, declaration for Independence of India came by british only after the famed Naval mutiny
What British did was deploy soldiers from different regions and not native ,the soldiers deployed in Punjab were not natives they couldn't understand the local language & costumes. The soldiers in jallianawala bagh massacres were GURKHAS(nepal) ,baloch,pathana (afganistan). Not exactly Indians ethnically.
33:07 The Kings were actually treated horribly by the Brits. Firstly, you need to differentiate British Empire from British East India Company. This is an important point many miss. The British Empire came in later.
This was the modus operandi of the British East India Company:
1. Setup a branch of the British East India Company (it was a registered company in England. The Crown wasn't controlling it until the 1857 First War of Independence - which those Britishers call it as "1857 Indian Mutiny") within every province in India.
2. Pay the King for a private garrison controlled by the Company for securing Company interests.
3. In exchange, the Company would build infrastructure (which invariably focused on their profits and that would mean they built infrastructure without keeping in mind the needs of the populace). Railroads were built only to serve the purpose of the British East India Company and not the general populace.
4. Become extremely rich by exploiting natural resources for export to the West (giving a tiny portion of the proceeds it to the King of course - to ensure the King does not revolt).
5. Buy out smaller Indian companies/home run cottage industries, and then shut them down, establishing monopoly in various industries. That made lots of Indians jobless/unemployed.
6. Turn India from producer and exporter of finished goods to importer of finished goods. British East India Company was literally the largest Company in India and the Planet as a consequence. There was no match for it anywhere as there were no Monopoly laws to break the company when it grew so big. Even the British Empire feared British East India Company.
7. Force Kings to sign the "Doctrine of Lapse". This ensured that the Kings had to have a successor (male child). If the King dies without producing a male progeny, the British East India Company would take over the Kingdom. If the King produced a female progeny (and no subsequent male heirs), the British East India Company would immediately take over the Kingdom. You should read about Queen of Jhansi (Rani Lakshmibai or Manikarnika - there is a movie that is made on her too) who fought the British on the battlefield. The Company even orchestrated assassinations of Royalty to ensure that the Kings don't have a bloodline and made it look like accidents. Or they would pit one King against another by creating divide. The Kings would fight against each other over contentious matters and whoever loses, their Kingdom would be usurped by the British East India Company through the "Doctrine of Lapse".
8. Employed horrific brutal tortures, executions (ISIS, Al Qaeda pales in comparison) to suppress any form of dissent/revolt.
Indians were used to invasions and fighting Wars. We were never used to this sort of cleverness, deceit and brutality. Which is why it took us 200+ years to get rid of the British.
The British Empire came later. When Indians first revolted and declared a War on the British East India Company in 1857 we had almost defeated the Brits when the Company approached the Crown for protection. That is when the Crown took over the British East India Company and brought India under direct rule.
So it went from fighting against the British East India Company to now fighting against the British Empire which also had a powerful ally: United States. We suddenly found ourselves not just fighting the British at home, but also had to now fight the World for gaining Independence. So we had to change strategies and adopt different techniques to throw the British out. It was primarily due to Subhash Chandra Bose and the founding of the Indian National Army that scared the Brits. That part of history is whitewashed and Gandhi was projected as some sort of "savior". He was anything but.
This is a great summation of how mercantilism let the British excuse themselves of personal and national responsibility when building their Empire and when competing with the other European nations, all as if no one mattered in the lands they were plundering. My goodness, that's a long sentence. I apologize.
Very few Americans know much about the details of Indian history so I like springing from these fine films into learning more, especially from individuals like yourself.
It's also hard for Americans to see how the colonial experience still obviously scars the nations that eventually won their independence. Turns out when you mangle or even eradicate whole cultures on every continent you destroy their future as well. If you want to check out another example you can look at what the Belgians did in Rwanda, defining and dividing Rwandans for their own profit. That is one direct cause of the 1994 genocide.
Thanks again for your comment. I'm so happy to get thoughtful perspectives from people who enjoy the show and the discussions it can generate.
Thanks. I never heard of the Doctrine of Lapse.
Thoroughly enjoyed the review from the folks!! Finally the world is getting to see the real side of Brits.
I always kept saying to myself. Until the day the Lion Learn to Speak / Write, History will always celebrate the “Hunter”.
Well, now, the Lion ready to Roar B*tch! 😊
We didn't like being ruled by British either!
Must watch "shershah" movie...based on real incidents...
Btw am looking forward to all your upcoming reviews of Hollywood and other movies and series, because I did like this podcast, you guys are better than many on internet. Try to fine tune it a little bit, that's all
Thanks for the kind words. Greatly appreciated.
Thank you, glad you're enjoying the show! Definitely poke around in the previous episodes. I think you'll find some of what you're looking for even as we keep making new ones.
I see you're already checking them out, thanks for the comments there too!
You have to understand India was huge back then --- India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were all one country called India. The country had never collectively fought for anything before as it was ruled in trenches by princes. Gandhi's non-violence movement did bring lot of people across country together. Now back to point, British used India's diversity as divide and rule. They pitted prince against prince, people against people. The soldiers shooting the people in Punjab were mostly from Baluchistan Afghanistan part of India who had little emotional or cultural connection with people in Punjab. British ensured they didn't post soldiers of same ethnicity in a particular region.
Shakini, Dhakini... seriously??? That's just waste of time....
The soldiers who fired were from 54 Sikhs , 59 scinde and gorkha troops
Dyer made sure the soldiers chosen were from not the same region
Like the baloch , and Nepali gorkhas having no emotional attachment towards the people of that region
And tbh as much I hate to say that
Indians were colonised by the Britishers because we were like that
It still baffles me how britain conquered india
With so little soldiers in comparison and with a supply line of 9 months
It was our fault
The British were just skilled at playing rivals against each other. That's how they ruled so much of the world -- including us!
Soldier were from from Gurkha battalion (Nepalis) and Baloch Regiment (Part of Pakistan), so no ethnic connect with the Punjabi Sikhs.
Hating Gandhi is new way to appear cool. Because truth and non violence were never too shiney.
Glad u saw this movie... Because this was very sad part of our history... More than 1000 people were killed in 10 minutes...

What a nice comment. Thanks for your thoughtful. We try to be respectful.
Drew, here are some english movie recommendations for horror, you might have seen most of them or not.
1. The Haunting (1963)
2. The Devil rides out (1968)
3. The woman in black (1989) (another recent adaptation of same was done few years back, with same name, starring Daniel Radcliff
4. The Three Mothers Trilogy: Suspiria (1977), Inferno (1980), Mothers of Tears (2007) (First 2 are good, third is not so good but finishes the trilogy, also BGM and sound is really good in first). Also, I feel, Suspiria (2018) was more like awakening of the first Mother, where as Original was about ending her.
Thanks, that's a great list. I have had the new Suspiria on my list for a while.
@@veloce99 Yes, But I would suggest you watch older ones first. It will make you appreciate the new one.
I grew up in an actively haunted house and I consider The Haunting the best and most realistic ghost movie.
@@seanpaulmurphy4447 I agree. I have watched it so many times and still love it.
@@seanpaulmurphy4447 I just finished listening to the review in the link you sent. it was funny to listen to everyone's reaction, especially about the acting and music. But I like this movie. I think today's trend of vfx and sfx very few people would appreciate the effort of that era. I remember watching an indian classic called 'Kohra' (1966), which is an adaptation of the novel Rebecca. The movie was combination od horror, and psychological thriller, but the effects they came up with were great.
You guys should check out the netflix series called "Delhi Crime" .
Indian movies I would recommend
1) Tumbbad (pyschological thriller)
2) Kashmir Files (real events)
3) Tanu weds Manu (romcom)
4) Karthikeya 2(adventure )
5) URI (real events ,surgical strikes ,army)
6) Kantara (amazing)
7) Tashkent files (political thriller)
8)Stree (Horror ,comedy)
9) lunch Box
10)Batla House(real events , police , politics)
I am a big horror movie fan. Looking forward to seeing some Indian horror.

It's not easy to revolt as a soldier at that time. Read about Mangal Pandey 1857 revolution. Thousands of soldiers revolted against British empire. Britishers killed there families & hanged the soldiers as well.
Watch - The Legend of Bhagat Singh
In movie Show as friend of udham Singh .

As the British PM Clement Attlee (who by they signed the Independence of India) say that Nataji Boss's INA and Great indian navy mutiny that forced the British out, when asked by Gandhi Attlee said Gandhi and his violence free freedom struggle was just minor hiccups, and not off major threat.
(Indian National Army was created by Nataji by mobilizing the Indian prisoners of war in Japan to fight against British)
Just try to watch tumbadd (horror kind of movie)
Gandhi was more like a politician instead of a freedom fighter. India didn't get freedom because of Gandhi but Gandhi was more like face of ruling elites after british left. Then they started a propoganda of Gandhi's nonviolence and Britishers also supported it by movies about Gandhi. This way world wouldn't consider british rule in India as worse because Britishers left India after some nonviolence, that's how story goes.
Detective byomkesh bakshi is our Sherlock Holmes
With due respect to Byomkesh Bakshi, I prefer Feluda...
@@turning_point96 who is feluda ??
You should watch the movie Killa, a sweet, poignant Marathi movie, for a complete change of pace.
As an Indian I really loved SardarUdham due to it's solid technical aspects and raw portrayal of what ocurred in India that brought it to the limelight of the west. But it saddens me when a director uses a film to push one groups own agenda. You can clearly pick those Communist nuances in the movie which never was India's sole ideology during pre-Independence struggle...Talk about Hollywood going woke, but that poison in everywhere...
But the great freedom fighter from India Bhagat Singh was a communist and atheist. Communism has existed in India even communist polotical parties exist till now but we follow democracy.
27:44 No, he doesn't want revenge. He didn't cross Russia and get to Britain to get revenge, he came to Britain following the words of his friend, to gather international support for their revolution. He didn't get employed at Dwyer's house to get revenge, he did it to try and understand how a man like that could live with himself after doing the things he did. Killing Dwyer was not an act of revenge, it was an act of revolution. The bullet may have been fired at Dwyer, but the blow was dealt to British Imperialism. There's nothing in the whole movie that suggests revenge as the main motivation. If that's how you understood it, then you're missing a large part of the story.
If you wana know what Brits did to India
Watch , Indian politicians speech video of Sashi Tharoor at Oxford. Btw he didn't mention even 1 percent of atrocities done on Indians by British except artificially created famines by imperialistic British and Churchill during that time.
Watch Tumbaad , which is a horror movie ... good for Halloween month
Thank you for the recommendation! We will be watching this soon!
U can all watch URI: the surgical strike by same actor.
You should review URI- The Surgical Strike another movie with same actor which is based on true events..
I look forward to seeing it.
RRR and this both didn't go to Oscars because they were anti-British..
please watch Cinema Bandi. Its Indie comedy..
watch 'Andhadhu" best movie of 2018
25:57 An Indian would never fear walking across Russia cause India and Russia was good friends for long time. After Independence both countries became the strongest allies in Asia.
I wouldn't fear the Russians as a people, but the nation as being long and cold. It had to be a brutal journey.
He was talking about extreme weather conditions of russia
Why don’t you guys join me in your podcasts I can give an Indian prespective and also guide you guys
He is Vicky kaushal not Vicky Singh as u mentioned in description
@johnquattrucci plz correct.
3 idiots is a good movie with typical Bollywood stuffs. Try to pass first 30 to 45min then i guess you would love it.but now it's outdated.
14:55 Yes I agree completely. Big Star Wars fan. Totally disappointed with the recent movies. "Woke" and "Cancel culture" is destroying America. From education to movies and everything in between. Disney probably tops the list.
Thank you. I'm alone in that opinion on the show. Hard to watch anymore.
@@Quaz7007 It really is weird that India is moving more and more towards Traditional Conservatism and Nationalism (from being a brainwashed commie liberal society for few decades after our Independence), while the West, especially USA is moving more and more towards Leftist Liberalism and even worse "wokeism" (I don't know what to call it). Which is really sad. Would even say USA really effed up by not re-electing Trump. Might be an unpopular opinion for most Westerners but Indians have a totally different take on this. You can see how well received Trump was in India (when he visited in Feb 2020 just before the pandemic). Lot of brainwashing, fake news, media manipulation and psyops. I bet many are regretting not voting for Trump now that inflation is at an all time high and USA is back to involving in never ending foreign Wars. They are literally doing everything they blamed Trump would become. And media is silent.
If US does not re-elect Trump back in 2024, it won't survive. China is extremely happy that Trump is no longer the President. That much I can tell you for sure. They have their puppet safely installed in the highest seat of power.
Sorry if it ruffles any feathers. I don't like political correctness. So had to be said. Saying it as a friend and well wisher. I don't like to see US lose like this. India wants to build excellent relations with US. Especially in Defense/Military tech where we want to phase out our Soviet weapon systems and upgrade to US weapon systems. But not with the garbage administration that currently rules Washington right now. When Trump was in power, we signed many multi-billion dollar deals with the US. Because we like and trust Trump. However, acquisition has slowed down once Biden came to power. Biden is a CCP plant. We don't like to deal with anyone who is pro-CCP.
@@Shri I totally agree with you. We are not taken very serious in the world right now. Sad but true.
I think woke has peaked and will soon recede. No one is watching the movies and ultimately money will trump propaganda!
Gandhi only delayed the freedom and all the miseries, pain, brutal killings, massacres, and cultural degradation and invasion. How could you win a freedom with peace and non violence from the clutches of such barbaric oppressive colonial British rulers at that time when imperialism was at its peak. The real heroes who helped India getting freedom are the ones shown in end credits of RRR and also the martyrs in this movie. We all know who writes history and why they twist it
Best Indian horror movie "tumbadd" must watch
We will be posting this review soon!
He's the best actor

And Tanhaji
Common Indians did not have arms to fight at that point of time. Also, a huge amount of soldiers were Gurkhas from Nepal, Sikkim, etc. who did not have affinity with the local Indian population. Also, note that they did not have any Sikh soldiers even though they they were also a huge part of the British army. Everything was well calculated.
Review Lagaan - Once Upon A Time in India (2001)
Please Watch Eega movie directed by SS Rajamouli
do watch Detective Byomkesh Bakshi. its a noir film set in 1940s
The Indian Film Federation did not send this movie for Oscar nomination and the reason they gave was that it has a negative portrayal of the British and it may piss off the white man. Talk about decolonisation.
Tumbad is the horror movie i recommend from bollywood.

Tumbbad should be reviewed NEXT. Please pick it up next!!! TUMBBAD.
We hear you guys and we will be watching this soon!
Silence of lambs can be of horror genre
52:30 the lady says she would act heroically. The truth is no one knows how they would act that situation unless they are there. When the Nazi’s occupied France and the collaborator Vichy govt was in charge, few in the population opposed them. The members of the resistance were less than 5%. The same is true of the ghettos of Jews in Poland. The resistance was very small in number.
Moreover, Gandhi’s so called non-violence is not understood by most people including Indians. To get a true understanding of it, you should listen to Norman Finklestein’s talk on Gandhi
Watch 3 idiots... All time favourite movie
Ralph wants to see that one. I hope we do.
India wasn't as integrated with a sense of oneness at the time and diff regions still carried over hostility towards each other borrowing from last 200 years of kings and empires. Yes smart move to control India thru rajas as it would've been impossible to govern otherwise. Even India was won by the East India company by leveraging troops from one region eg north and Deccan against Mysore in South. Similarly North Indian troops against maratha Empire. The salary paid for troops was one enticement and whichever master pays is good for me was a common sentiment as loyalty to the one who paid was more important. Hindu, Muslim or Christian.
Plz watch kantara movie its a masterpiece of in indian movie
It was just in the theaters in my town but we missed it.
