The movie has respected the mythology, the Indian culture, values.I dont agree to the poverty portrayal of India in general.But the sad truth is caste system is a truth in India in certain parts.If Dev is trying to address the truth of caste system there is nothing wrong.Just because some section of the society dont experience poverty, or caste or colour based descrimination in India doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
you know what i would love? if a prominent director in India did a 'pull at your heart string' movie about the desperacy of los angles. a place that houses some of the most wealthy people in the US and has skid row, a homeless comunity that lives on the streets in tents.
Fyi homeless and poverty PPL are everywhere
The movie has some problamatic things example naming escort as sita. Burning 59 hindus sequences
@@SunnySingh-mi8db i know but i would love to see another country's take on the poverty in the US
I agree that the caste system is very prevalent in North India. Like the surname is a depiction of which caste you are in North India. South India doesn't have that tho.
But the Indians in Hollywood do not get good roles either.And they are pretty known.Fact is there are very few roles for brown male protagonists in American movies,American or Indian.
Even in indian cinema it's all about nepotism
Ustadji Zakir Hussain was in the trailer 2 of Monkey Man. It's not really a spoiler 🤭
I am seeing some insecure upper caste hindus in the comment section who are unaware of the reality of india.
800 million people in India need govt food assistant for basic grains fyi.
Labor participation of women is one of the lowest
Anti caste violence is regular
Indigenous land from indigenous people (tribal communities) in India are being destroyed by the cronies(govt and the corporations) , etc,etc,etc
So also the maker of the film is a descendant of Indians,he is well aware of South Asian culture.
It's not a literal pov of India so the story Would have meta lens ,so it would have one consistent note of India as a background to bring out the characters more(crimes,caste violence and discrimination,class inequality,religion,culture),as the movie is about that topic.
Don't be an insecure Indian who is insecure of the reality of their own nation's situation.
To u India is "doing well" as food delivery,10 min grocery delivery services and Netflix,Spotify are now available,see how much India is "developing".
At most 10 %of India(as the buying population of India is between 5 to 10 %) can afford this "development"
Oppressed caste communities in India,South Asia would be happy with this movie (around 20 % of India's population is so called upper caste and the rest is so called lower caste,st),that their oppression is being shown to the world unlike the domestic major Indian film makers who don't want to touch caste with a 10 feet pole.
Well said.
Not upper caste ...supposedly "upper caste" the caste system is an illusion and a political tool that should be banished for good
I think most people are aware of all that you said. My only issue is I've seen this so so so many times in Hollywood already. Any movie that remotely has India in it, they talk about the inequality or caste system. I would like to see SOMETHING else with India as the backdrop. SOMETHING else, at least once.
@@govinddas7876 "India as a back drop" ,this whole movie is India exclusively,u can't get more India than that in a foreign made production.
Also as I mentioned already it's made by a person who is passionate about his vision and what he wanted to share with the non Indian world ,he is well aware of culture and politics of South Asia.
Go watch his interviews ,see how eager and passionate he is about this project ,he hasn't just made that just for the sake of making it.
Such a bs comment
Dev Patel is a LEGEND, im so happy for him!!
The storyline is good along with action but his choice of using shaky cam, frantic editing and extreme closeups almost all the time was too much.
True. The shaky cam and frantic editing ruined it for me. I just want to see the god damn frame and angle like a normal movie
Shaky cam improves throughout the movie tho.
It is to show how inexperienced, injured and all over the place he is as a fighter.
Heartbreakingly no release in india😭💔
It's not banned, it's delayed release just like many other countries
@@Selinnaguz censor board want more cuts
If there is one thing India should ban is Censor Board for films.
and let children watch violence and soft porn ? No thanks. What’s the use of excessive violence anyway?
That is not how it works sir
Than every westerner will put out a poverty propaganda against india
@@rachana777and that's why there are children friendly movies that your children can watch 😑
@@rachana777so u think they wont watch Hollywood movies...??
Why every Western filmmaker shows India so dull, dark and dusty? Look how someone like Bhansali and Rajamouli shows real India so colourful and vibrant.
why can't both exist....just like it is.
Which is no india at all 😂
@@abhikghosh89 they both exist in Indian cinema as Anurag and Bhansali.. but it's always one way from west.
It happens when actual Indians make a Hollywood film.
NRIs would obviously follow standard Hollywood stereotypes
Because it is the reality and you are afraid to question the government
I was not impressed with trailer itself apart from some good action...that typical stereotype punjabi tune playing in background which a westerner put in every india related thing 🤦🤦🤦
That’s all you saw and heard in the trailer 😂😂😂
Punjabis making that song has ruined it for every indian abroad. Their songs are always stereotypical and making fun of us. That's why I don't like Punjabi music
Why Indian action movies always look medicore seriously we deserve better action movies
@@raja-jl9osur so cool wowow
@@MovieShuvies i watch kill teaser
Great review; however it's not a spoiler, guys. Dev openly spoke about Ustad with Peele 3 days ago lol😂
Yep....here we are.... 2 weeks after the review coz all of the Indians in India just finished watching the movie on Torrent an hour ago....
Fair.
Oh my god. The hate in this comment section is unbelievable. The movie's not out, how have you seen it to hate on it?
They feel like the movie is portraying Indian in a bad light because it shows poor Indians, basically they are insecure.
Chill bro...this movie won't release in india 😂
@@telugufactsandmore2602 Whatever it may be. I don't care that it hasn't yet, or never will. But I don't get the hate when they haven't seen it. Anyways, ppl will pirate this film anyways in India if it doesn't come out.
I just watched it. Dev Patel has the potential to SWEEP the next oscars. Rooting for him!!
Mid average actor. Made his career from slumdog he is dogshit💩
Really excited to watch it from theatre🔥
I feel like even if Rick compliments me, I'd find him irritating
Monkey Man with 10M USD - Shaky camera, full of stereotypes, uses Indian customs as marketing tool, generic action movie that too boring 🤡🤡
Hanuman with 4M USD budget - Excellent Cammerawork & cinematography, authentic portrayal of Hinduism, respects Indian customs, emotional superhero movie having goosebump moments after every 15mins 🗿🗿
Dev patel enters legend status
Waiting for a Hollywood film thats a genre film with India as the backdrop. For once, I hope they talk about something else other than the caste system or class inequality or the slums. Gonna watch this one just for Dev but god I hope I can see that one day.
Like prince of persia types
Truth hurts huh Mr. Sanghi?
@@sudharsandas5779More like truth is hurting liberandus like u
WELL as expected show case some old caste system, doesn't matter even if it might be followed less than 1% and get an oscar award and folks like this will go gaga over it. Where are their reviews on Kashmir files, Kerala story , Trance (malayalam movie). Why mouth shut at that time ? Someone saying sanghi...oh yeah check world top 50 trrst orgns, attks in euorpe/us, sar tan jd, riots, pelt stones, knig bm attks etc . Did that guy find any sanghi in it 🙏
And wow Sanghi isn't offensive according to YT guidelines
But "liberandu" Is
👏👏👏👏👏
Everything is biased these days
shaky cam and close cam using IPHONE messed the movie
Nah it doesn't
Honestly, it’s my favorite film of the year thus far.
I hope it releases in India
This movie not gonna attract any audience in India, that's my guess
It's not about India or any other country it's just about the story screenplay and direction that's it. If it's good we will enjoy
Those who think it's gonna be the biggest surprise hit , hit the like button 👇👇
@@nishanthmenon7865 Indians do not like a film for screenplay and direction...there are multiple examples
Not releasing in India
Why because he talks against current politics?
Watch tamil movie "Thuppaki" and "Thani oruvan". You will love them
They will support and propogate films like this which showcase caste system (followed less than 1 %), slums, poverty and go gaga over it. Where are their reviews on Kashmir files, Kerala story , Trance (malayalam movie). Their mouth was shut at that time but they went gaga over a film called "chaider". Well folks commenting on me, first go & check world top 50 trrst orgs, sar tan jd, attks in Europe/us and who is responsible. DIGEST the truth 🙏
Great review! I really enjoyed the film. It was an interesting combination of the Hollywood aesthetics and the Indian values /cultures.
I just saw it yesterday- it was fucking amazing
Thank you dev Patel for the movie ...it's a gift to India
Gosh this entire thread of comments is a JOKE!
Guys you haven't watched the movie so please stop throwing around your ill-informed opinions about "how bad" it is.
And BTW, India is at the cusp of becoming the biggest powerhouse in the world and soon it will be so. It is only natural that the world wants to get a taste of our culture. If any foreigner thinks that India is just slums then they are living under a rock. Have some dignity and dont get offended by people trying their best to show their love for our country. Do some yoga and chill.
Wow it’s first time you guys reviewing a Hollywood movie . Bollywood probably thinks is their movie, gets nominated In iffa award lmao
The action sequence required more intense music to be honest, wish Anirudh had done it 😂 Glad to have watched it without any spoilers. I was expecting arthouse violence genre but got more than i expected. That one scene in the elevator was worth the admission.
We don't have a release date to this movie yet and by the time it will get released in India 90% of the world will have already watched it and somehow spread the spoilers in social media with piracy videos. That way we will lose our interest in it and that would be huge loss to the movie makers since India the most populated country in the world. They should have released it first in India along with USA in my opinion. And also, for the whole uncut version to watch on OTT, we will have to wait for extra 2-3 months which will be frustrating to me personally because I was eagerly waiting to watch it in the theater since the trailer came out.
The reason is censor board is using their unethical
Thank the glorius censor board of india
I think it won't be releasing in India... Previous date was April 19th but then book my show has removed the date now
WELL as expected show case some old caste system, doesn't matter even if it might be followed less than 1% and get an oscar award and folks like this will go gaga over it. Where are their reviews on Kashmir files, Kerala story , Trance (malayalam movie). Why mouth shut at that time ?
@10:10 i know but that is kinda India's fault. i didn't even know that there was such a thing as Indian cinema until i took the gateway drug of RRR. with that said, how can we get Prithviraj into some hollywood leading man roles?
RRR is the most stupidest movie ever made in Indian cinema..only American and Telugu people enjoyed that piece of garbage..If you want to see real Indian cinema watch old classics of Indian films not the masala over the top flicks that are made these days.
And Prithviraj was not in RRR but was in Salaar..The two main actors who were in RRR are Junior NTR and Ram Charan Tej
@@vmrsh5339 i didn't see Salaar. i did see RRR though. it was fun rooting for that movie to win an oscar.
@@vmrsh5339 yup, americans loved RRR by giving it all kinds of awards, including an oscar, so stop hating. i have been enjoying all kinds of movies from India and my entry into Indian cinema was because of S. S. Rajamouli.
@@shelly_lee That's the sad part a bad mediocre over the top film gets appreciated and rewarded whereas a good film goes unnoticed .
WELL as expected show case some old caste system, doesn't matter even if it might be followed less than 1% and get an oscar award and folks like you will go gaga over it👏👏👏. Where are your reviews on Kashmir files, Kerala story , Trance (malayalam movie). Why mouth shut at that time ?
They did say they did not like The Kashmir Files, they weren't silent then
"Old caste system"??? Caste system is very much existing today.
Lol i see that already right-wing indian supporters are writing comments without watching this movie
You don't necessarily have to be right wing to criticize a stereotypical Hollywood depiction of India where there's probably dirt on every frame.
These movies portraying India as just slums is equivalent to showing every movie set in Mexico about drugs, which the Americans do tbf lol
@@InternetPolice007 You cant act like it doesnt exist tho.
@@Asine it exists but underbelly exists in every country including usa
@@SunnySingh-mi8db not to the extent of what there is in india.
@@Asine are u sure west is declining my friend in economy go research somewjere but don't u expect a slumdog movie based on usa underbelly
Sanghi Indians in the comments section are really butthurt like they were with 2 India by Vir Das
If it gets released in India at all, it will not be before the elections. The govt will only allow its propo movies to run at this point of time.
But by the way brother I think I need to emphasize this fact that this movie is going to be banned in India so this Review that is you are going to do is mostly been going to be seen by Indians who have no idea how to see this movie by the way I think that's good thing people are still doing to sit in pirated versions
I saw it recently and thought it was a fun time
Snakes in the ganga
1st and foremost.
RAMAYAN is not MYTHOLGY …. It is Itihaas. Ithaas means as it happened.
Please stop reaffirming the western take on our Itihaas and give way to this whole narrative which is essentially based on slander and mockery.
Hanuman ji is not a Monkey as Dev Patel describes it. He is a Vanar which also means a Man of the Jungle/ Forest. Two very different connotations.
He is a representation of so many so many aspirational qualities. Devotion and strength being the top most of them.
Dev Patel is unfortunately one of many Hindus who have been torn apart from their civilisation and culture through western education. The western mind and lens is completely different from an Indian mind and lens. Their take on our civilisation and culture is muddled up with prejudice and hate due to religious aspects.
Things that we find extremely off putting is a repeat of the age old Leftists/ Marxist/ Islamists trope on us Hindus.
It’s the same old, same old portrayal of Hindus as some sort of demonic cult. A very Abrahamic lens of “ OTHERING “.
We are nothing like what gets portrayed. There’s so much life, love, joy , colour, celebration, scientific rigour, sacrifice for a greater cause like family,a deep ethical code and appreciation for all living beings.
The colour saffron evokes emotions of great sacrifice and duty but instead movies like Monkey Man give the colour and what it represents as villainous- demonic cult representation.
Sad!!! If it was purely action and story based movie, I would probably watch it. Dev Patel you could do better.
Need to stop demonising Saffron.
lol looks like it hit your political feelings more than your religious ones.
He wasn’t mocking saffron or the religion. Just those who use these things to exercise control over society and the minds of the people.
In fact towards the end of the movie you see dev Patel pray to lord Hanuman for courage before the fight. The movie itself ends with a beautiful mantra that describes the attitude of Hindus towards what is known as god or reality, far from a demonic cult but a collective of beautiful perspectives on reality and truth.
@@1999NIRUPAM no not political at all. If it hit anything, it is the constant peddling of such narratives ever since the British destroyed our education system.
These damaging and incorrect narratives have on ground effects with so many Hindu students being attacked and heavily discriminated against, especially in foreign campuses. Ever since 2014 these narratives have been brought back and keep growing louder as an objective to destabilise our country and have western/ Islamic occupation 2.0.
After all we are the last standing ancient civilisation.
A project work to be completed. Unfulfilled Dreams of conversion by the Islamic, Christian and Communist ideologies.
Today all of them work together to get a strong hold later they will fight each other to establish their final authority.
My objective is to fight for this civilisations right to exist and hence squash any false narratives.
So what exactly are your views about the movie based on? I mean you clearly haven't watched it yet right?
PS: Ramayan is not history. It is mythology.
Jimmy Kimmel already showed the spoiler scene
I was so looking forward to this movie thinking it will be a rich cultural portrayal of Indian culture with Lord Hanuman being center stage but now seeing the reviews saying its Slumdog millionaire meets John Wick, I think I am not going to waste my money on another Hindu Bashing, poverty porn movie catering to the western audiences. The current Modi government may not be a favorite with many "liberals" but most people in West do not know Modi himself belongs to so called "low caste' and in fact the elitist Opposition continuously hounded him and made fun of his humble beginning's innumerable times. I myself used to believe that RSS (Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh) which is Modi's parent organization was a fanatic organization having studied in Missionary school where the nuns missed no opportunity bashing RSS it but there is no denying that RSS actually wants united Hindus and wants to remove caste. If Hindus unite this will be counterproductive for western forces who fund missionaries to convert lower caste Hindus and poor tribal people in India so obviously West hates Modi!
True brother. They will support and propogate films like this which showcase caste system (followed less than 1 %), slums, poverty and go gaga over it. Where are their reviews on Kashmir files, Kerala story , Trance (malayalam movie). Their mouth was shut at that time but they went gaga over a film called "chaider"
Well said, Dev Patel is born and Brought up in London, never lived in India, so obviously he doesn't know a drop about this country and just projects the Western stereotypical fantasy about india.
Watched the movie today. It was bloody good!
❤❤ brother how did you like Slumdog Millionaire part 2 featuring monkey man
It's a Indian movie to core
Please react to "veyilodu velaiyadi" song ❤❤ with subtitles
I am a long-time fan of both of you and your channel. However, of late, I regret to inform you that Korbin's part is becoming increasingly muddled and he needs to speak up and speak clearly - that is, if your target audience is Indians in India.
Regarding Monkey Man, excellent review. Regarding sensitivities, the only complaint is that movie makers misinterpret religious text and stuff it down our throat.
If you are referring to political authoritarianism, all I can say is this. You have seen traffic on our roads. If some one talks about streamlining flow of vehicles, Indians will scream of an impending police state. Americans should agree that some order has to be enforced in society.
Suggestion - Moving forward, see if you can learn an Indian language, could be Bengali.
Keep your religion to yourself. We, who don't believe in hinduism and have our own way of worship and rituals, should not be barred from accessing a movie or any content in that matter. Why the f you majoritarian mfs preferences should be imposed on us, down our throats literally?
Brother - As expected show case some old caste system, doesn't matter even if it might be followed less than 1% and get an oscar award and folks like this will go gaga over it. Where are their reviews on Kashmir files, Kerala story , Trance (malayalam movie). Why mouth shut at that time ?
This movie doesn't even look like it was set in Mumbai but in some ASEAN country...It has so less Indian faces, whole extras were Indonesian...
Rick who always blabber about elevative artistry and suspension of disbelief, did he find elevative artistry in this also?
Thank you for this!
I love how supportive RicKorbin are to Indian films & India in general. Most youtubers reacted to India content are mostly for money only.
I'd say that about every reactor tbh. They all choose pleasing the crowd rather than having an honest opinion.
Another waste from hollywood
Amazing amazing work Dev !
Monkey man is a copy of John Wick and Slumdog millionaire along with copying Indian mythology.
Hollywood copying Indian epics to compensate losses of hollywood movies.
Why don't you guys do a scores like Anthony Fantano
Please watch Deivathirumagal and Ayothi Tamil movie
Nice Tshirt RICK 👌

I loved the movie ❤
Love the movie ❤
Monkey man father of john wick what a fabulous ruthless terrific violent movie I love it monkey man hail🔥🔥🔥🔥
If this is a Hollywood movie why would they showed the indian politics?and he isn't indian. Don't take this personal it's just my doubt 🙂
Bcz westerners love to show problems of so called third world.They consider themselves as progressive and all other are regressive according to americans
That's just how every movie industry is. Bollywood made Chennai express, Kerala story, Chandni chowk to China etc without any knowledge of the region. As long as it is an engaging story that's all that matters.
Hmm, it is a movie, anyone can make a movie about any subject and region
He is an Indian descendent and he directed this movie
Why not?
😂😂 do you know about Godhra kand I might say you should ask your wife about it

Modi is the one who's producing so many propoganda movies in India, but most of it don't work and becomes succesful even among the fervent hindutva fascist mobs. 😂
Monkey man will succeed fine and people across India will see it one way or another.
Don't usually comment but had to here. Such a boring, terrible film...... I don't know what you guys saw to be honest
