Why are you guys not reacting to Actors Roundtable Discussion 2020. They talk in depth all about acting.It's an absolute gem. You guys would love it so much. Please do react to it. ❤️
In most parts of Asia, people live by the motto, "What people (others) will think/say?". It's just the part of their cultural identity. That's how they were taught to live. You don't have to change it necessarily. But, no one can deny that it's surely changing with time (for good)!
Indian society has a lot of ways of ‘othering’ (class, caste etc) and that’s what is at the core of this movie. While you may not understand caste and class issues as an American but don’t take the high horse either. Contrary to what you say, in the US also everybody can’t live and be together with whoever they want. Interracial relationships are still a taboo in majority of US, and ppl even call the cops if they see kids of a color with someone of a different color. So think of the problem portrayed in this movie from that lens. Yes, end of the day we would want a world where such othering would not take place.
This movie is about the class divide. I don’t think the class divide doesn’t exist in USA or any other country in the world. Of course it much less in America where family and social ties are far far weaker than in Asia. By and large western societies are more about individuals - its usually self before others. But “what-will-they-think” is very relevant in various other things such as the brands, colors and fashion one wears or the car one drives or where one takes his date or what ring a man gives his girlfriend when he proposes. They just have a different label In USA - “Keeping up with the Jones”.
SIR - Is Love Enough? Is an absolutely beautiful and stunning movie. Highly recommend you watch this film. It's simple yet sincere in its storytelling, and the characters portrayed by Vivek Gomber (Ashwin) and Tillotama Shome (Ratna) are just sublime. They both gave heart-touching performances. I have to slightly correct you on your comment about 'love' in the Western world. It is a huge misconception that any person can love anybody; if that were true division of classes wouldn't exist. You have upper, middle and lower class across the Western world. I've never seen a wealthy person fall in love with a poor person and for that to be accepted by society - in the US or here in the UK. You never hear or see that happen. Most wealthy people court and marry within their own class. Harry and Meghan. I'll stop right there. Because they are a great example of how socio-economic, profession, marital status (divorcee) and race played - and still play - major factors in their courtship and marriage. The struggles that they face is obscene. They might be married, but they certainly haven't had an easy ride. Good for them though for standing by each other. Socio-economic backgrounds do play a role in Western society, as does race. I know many inter-racial/inter-religious couples who struggle to cope in society. It is false; you cannot just fall in love and be with whoever you want to be with if they fall outside of your race, culture, religion or economic status. You are going to face struggles. So I think people across the world will relate to the story of 'SIR - Is Love Enough?'. It's a universal concept and story that will touch people's hearts.
Yes it's universally relatable and that's the reason this film was appreciated worldwide in many festivals and it was also among top 5 grossing films in France 👍
Marriages across the class divide are difficult (to the point of being unthinkable) in India. Even marriages across religious or caste boundaries work only if the couple belongs to the same social class. Putting myself in the maid's shoes, I think she would be very doubtful of being accepted by his family. It would remain an illicit affair that would just make her the butt of jokes at best and bring her house-arrest by her in-laws at worst. That is where she is coming from when she says it matters to her what people think.
Ya and rick noticed it too that the roles were reversed and I like that about the trailer. Cus it gives so much depth to her character as she seems to be a person with pride and knows that cus of her socio economic background ppl will be quick to judge that she's a gold digger and he an idiote for being in a relationship with her or overly empathetic person who more like pities her. And the latter she might be thinking too and that's why doesn't want that kind of a help. While the guy seems to be very confident with his choice and that kind of confidence I think also comes from his socio economic background. I think when we'll watch the movie we'll really love them both and social commentary and specially Tillotama but I can't find the movie😭😭
@@kanishkanegi5594 Is the movie no longer available on Netflix? I agree with all that you said, but I think his confidence comes not from his socioeconomic background per se but the fact that he lived abroad where dignity of work is maintained irrespective of what work you do. He continued to apply the same standards when he came back.
@@EagleOverTheSea huh it's on netflex?Some dumbass told me it's not there. But thanks for reminding me I almost forgot about this movie. And oh yes that could be true what you pointed out. Sadly these kinds of relationships aren't seen in a good light😢 I feel like there are some kind of prejudices people have with couples with a huge power dynamic difference.
The caste / class system is still deeply embedded in our mindset. A love story of the maid and the master of the house would be scandalous. They would be looked down upon, and would have to face the most terrible treatment ever. Over here, we are yet to cross and demolish this barrier.
This movie is an absolute gem cmg out of Indian cinema. I wish it gets more applauds and attention that it deserves. I remember watching the trailer earlier last year so desperately waited for to come online as I couldn’t watch in theater as it was only there in handful of cinema halls here in mumbai.
Watched this movie yesterday. Amazing movie....simple yet very very effective. If you've liked heart touching stories like lunch box this one's for you...Watch it guys & do review !! It dosn't have a complicated story line...its just a slice of life kinda movie !!! The movie will just flow & u go with the flow without even realising... And just putting it out there....this movie released 2 years ago & was screened at various film festivals but amidst all the Bollywood chaos never actually came under the limelight...it isn't a netflix original, Netflix has finally decided to stream it now thats it ! After a long time after crappy stuff like Coolie, Tandav & what not such movies r getting recognition !!!! I just feel like people actually wanna recognise good acting, brilliant stories but the amount of PR these star kid movies do & the level of promotion...any other movies literally dont even reach the audience for them to watch...they just get lost like this one ! Thanks to OTT, we get to choose what we want to see & appreciate ! And a reminder for u guys to watch "Scam 1992" & review it....a true gem ! Its the top most rated series in India & has an amazing cast & story...
This is definitely your cup of tea.. watched this movie a few days back, since it was trending one on Netflix... Loved every minute of the movie.. Both actors are brilliant..
The culture of house maid is very common in India more than USA. Almost every working class/rich household has "maids" who come to clean the house, dishes and cook food in many homes too everyday for very small salary (50-100 dollars a month). Culturaly and commonly, maids are treated with very little value and respect. So having an affair with one is very very bad in indian society due to extreme class divide.
@@thelocaldiva We pay our domestic help almost 215 USD a month, that is if my calculation of 16000rs into USD is correct.. so yeah.. not impossible, but still depends on each household.. (and she is full time and has been hired by an agency, so a percentage goes to them as well.. maybe that is why)
Watch a segment in Lust stories where there is an affair between a maid n her house owner. Usually that’s what happens in society here. It just remains as a physical relationship. It’s refreshing to see a maid step up. The actor is a lawyer from the “court” movie. Beautiful story.
@@86upsmaya yes, many maids are sent to live in their boss’s home and the owner take advantage of the situation and even the maids accept it as they have no where else to go and their parents need/ get money.
Korbin is dead right. The first thing that came to my mind after seeing this gorgeous film was The Lunchbox. And a great predecessor to it. Especially because it's based out of Mumbai.
it was a really great movie...and its not a movie about a love story but a story about classism...and this movie is really different because its not talking about caste division or religious division because we have had too many movies on those issues involving love story and many people accept inter caste and inter religious unions....but i have never seen the class divide being tackled like that and its because that class division still exists and thrives in today's society.....the way you saw one woman scolding the maid is unfortunately how many people behave with lower working class people and you can forget about marrying one in today's time...people will mock you and embarass you...its still one more thing we need to address in our society and i loved that this movie portrayed that.....also for once atleast the movies didnt portrayed that maid-employer relationship as a lustful sexual one like they generally do in the movies and portrayed real love story..
I just watched this movie on Netflix last night and it was an absolute gem! It has been a long time since a movie has pulled me in so deeply. I loved it.
One of the best films I have ever seen in these times.... Touching all cultural problems without being cliche..... Tilottama Shome is one of the most underrated actor ..if anyone has not seen her interview with Rajeev Masand (class act) please watch it to see how brilliant and wonderful she is ... If she was in Hollywood she would be household name.. .. Hard to believe that this film was struggling for 2 years to release....
Rick , u r spot on... Just watch this movie to see her body language, gestures. Well done by both main actors. the way she speaks to him as her SIR and their mutual admiration. He on d other hand is so kind , helping n sooo genuine. This indeed is a lunchbox type movie .simple but will be impactful.
You guys have seen the actress in Hindi Medium and Monsoon Wedding and the Actor was the main lawyer in the Marathi movie Court. This movie is Masterpiece available on Netflix . Highly recommended
Classism especially the treatment meted out out to servants is bad as much as caste problem. People imagine or accept affairs between people from these two classes but not serious relationship. Especially the maid is a widow and it will affect her life more seriously than his because she is risking her freedom to work and independent life.
The whole point of the film is that we live in a society that this relationship will not be accepted because its not just the class difference but also culture, language, education and status. There is a dialogue in the film that says, you can look away from the fact that she is a maid but the society will never let it forgot you.
This is a beautiful film to understand the class caste hierarchy. About the dynamics between people and their servant here in India, well, it's a taboo I would say. All the more, for the maid/servant. Because the society will only make fun or blame or shame the servant not their employer. Even in the film, if the guy is saying he doesn't care is because he is privileged and doesn't understand the world the maid comes from. Though Rick is right that people do have reservations when it comes to "stepping down". I remember my friend telling me that his friend from America had a crush on my friend's maid. He wanted to approach her. And my friend had to explain him how the poor woman's life will be ruined if she goes out with him. Even if she says no. Her own people will not let her go out from the home once they find out she was approached by this guy. Dating and relationship is too far fetched. She would lose the job. It's understandable how the idea is so alien to Rick and Korbin. But that's the reality here. This whole idea of dating your servant is unthinkable. The concept of dating is anyway exclusive in a certain sections of society. Many, even today, are just tied off to someone their parents decide and that's their only option. Loving someone is like an act of revolution in this country. Especially for the marginalized who do not belong to the mainstream. Funny, no? 😀
Putting in the US context, the closest equivalent is a poor Latina immigrant from a Mexican village who works as a maid for a rich young WASP who lives in Manhattan. And they fall for each other.
U should watch the interview with the actor ...where she explains why she is uncomfortable ...coz money may by class but can't buy dignity ... when ch is the character all about
You need to understand the cultural and socio-economic structure of India to be able to understand some of the social norms. Not everything is fair but then which country or culture really has that? Also lot of belief systems have thousands of years of historical context and things that are not right do and will change. It will take time. I think every culture/country has its weaknesses. I like many Indians have grown up in households where we have had house helps for domestic work. There are layers of complexities involved in a relationship between a homeowner and their house help. Its not a typical professional relationship as the help is part of your household and therefore your personal lives intertwine. Many house helps work all their lives for same families/family and become like family and yet there is that deep rooted deep seeded difference - interestingly sometimes from both sides! Romantic relationships or marriages would be a big thing and in many parts of India - a scandal! I can compare it a little to what also happens in the West. When my friend (Indian by ethnicity) was introduced by her boyfriend to his parents (White American family from Texas) they were definitely not jumping with joy and tried to convince him very hard to not marry her (racial prejudice)! And I know personally of a case (again in America) where the guy was a struggling musician so also worked as a waiter and how his fiance's family rejected him as they were extremely well to do (class difference). They got married without her family's participation or blessings. So it does happen everywhere but is more common in India. I feel though things are changing in India. There is more awareness of social justice and equality. Hopefully one day we will all be able to live and let live. This is a fab movie telling a beautiful story. The acting is just fantastic. Both Tillotama Shome and Vivek Gomber are awesome and the direction is flawless. You have seen the actress in A Death in the Gunj and Vivek Gomber produced 'Court'
I think for this film to hit in the right way, it is important to understand the servant/mister relationship in India. These ppl will often love in ones home and even raise you, but they would never eat with you, you will barely speak outside of their work, and you will not form friendships. As an American going to south asia, this can be quite jarring. How can you be in such close quarters with someone, yet be so far from each other? This movie does a great way of subtlety showing that.
Thank u soooo much for reacting to this.....MUST WATCH!!!❤️...and yes the class division is a THING here, more than u can imagine. So this movie was beautiful for me. Teaches u to open up ur heart a little.
Relatable subject across class and a well made movie. For some of us from the same urban culture who continue to feel uncomfortable about the concept of live in maids, a very true picture. Also if you want a classic on a similar story line check out Shyam Benegal's Ankur.
Just 2 hours back I was literally going through all your videos from the past 3 to 4 months, just to see have you reacted to the trailer yet or not of this movie. And here you have the trailer reaction :-D By the way, amazing movie, do watch it
I wud lyk to clarify a thng here whch i hv alrdy done once in one of ur videos. All maids dnt cm frm lower caste, caste isnt a issue here. Its more about class nd financial status of rich nd poor in society. Dnt link everythng wid the caste system.
Tilotama Shome has dome some great work. To list a few examples of her excellent performance is shadows of time, monsoon wedding and qissa. After watching sir you will want more of her talent.
obviously, its first time in Indian cinema. it's a must watch & maybe it would be the best of 2021. and Tilottama Shome is a great actor, you can watch her great acting in Qissa(with Irrfan) & Kadwi Hawa(with Sanjay Mishra)
Americans are so clueless about how class works in their society, and that’s the reason the class system remains unchanged in the United States. This whole spiel about you can love whoever you want in America is BS.
very true lol like yes sure you can love whoever you want in america but you most definitely will be judged for who you love in america based on a MULTITUDE of factors (race, class, socioeconomic status, etc.)
This movie is about the practicality of the system and society we live in , as the world is growing , we are growing , people in India are not anymore afraid of society and what people think , but that doesn't change the fact thay we are who we are , i mean this movie potrays that she doesn't stop herself from loving her "SIR" but she doesn't want anymore labels and heavy duty insult that comes with it , so she keeps it to herself and decides to do the right thing , and once at the very end , she feels that she can have a separate identity , that could fetch her repect she demands , she stop calling him "SIR" , sorry spoiled it for ya , but this story just not talks about love and cages of society but practical decisions as well , At the end of the day , you never wanna lose someone you love but you don't wanna be miserable with them , so you just let love be .....
Its not common at all...unthinkable mostly.. this kind of social discrimination is so deeply rooted you sometimes dont even realize that you are doing it unconsciously.
Please do a panipat Movie review, saw your trailer reaction Video and was so impressed and also if you can do the historic battle reaction video it will be amazing.. Can’t wait to see them.
You guys should watch this film immediately, it has been trending at no 1 on Netflix India, I have already watched it 4 times over the weekend, it's like I binge watched a film lol.... It's that good 😌 It's a very indie film, Indo-french production, director is Rohena Gera, it's her debut film and she is brilliant, this film was made in 2018, then travelled to film festivals, won many awards and now finally released in India in theatres in Nov and now on Netflix The two main leads are phenomenal The actress Tillotama Shome is so effortless, her body language, her posture, everything is amazing 😍 She is one of the best female actors today, She deserves all the awards for this one, you guys have seen her in "Angrezi medium" and "A Death in the Gunj" in a supporting role The actor Vivek Gomber is so good, this is his breakout role I guess, he too has done supporting roles before, You have seen him in "Court" Also he is the producer of "Court" and "The Disciple", he was the one who backed the director of Court when nobody else was and I am happy now he is getting his due as an actor too 👍 Please watch this one soon, it deals with a difficult subject with so much sensitivity and maturity... 5stars for it PS: I remember watching a Hollywood movie "Maid in Manhattan" with Jennifer Lopez which was the love story of a maid and a wealthy politician, of course it was more mainstream and a totally different style...
🌸 It's a beautiful and sensitively directed little film, based on Gera’s personal observations how “the help” is often treated in India and the invisible dividing lines between “classes” that everyone seems to have normalized. I’ll be looking forward to whatever Rohena Gera is making next. 🥰 I was thrilled to see Tillotama Shome shining in a leading role (long overdue!). 🤩 You should also watch *Monsoon Wedding* (Mira Nair, 2001), *Shanghai* (Dibaker Banerjee, 2013) and *Manto* (Nandita Das, 2018), for her performances of course, but mostly because these are great films. ♥️ I gotta watch *Qissa* and *A Death in the Gunj* soon. 😻
There are some serious class issues here.....😛 Marry with in your jati but outside your gender. Within your religion but outside your gotra. There are specifics in India whom you can marry and not. 😎
Please do watch this movie. It's a simple contemporary masterpiece. Yes, it does give the lunchbox kinda vibe. You'll love it. #mustwatch It's available on Netflix.
Seriously one of the best and most touching Indian movies I've watched in a while. It's one of those movies that leave you thinking about it days after you've watched it. I rewatched the movie 2 days after the first time because I couldn't stop thinking about it LOLL and it was even better the second time because I caught a bunch of tiny details throughout that make it even more brilliant. Highly recommend you guys watching it
Lol! Even I did the same, I watched it thrice and every time something new caught my eyes. Specially that recipe for mutton 😅 would like to read the complete recipe.
It's the first time , that's what there was this actor who lost his career for the same reason though it was a rape case, so it's seen bad in society to be mixing in the classes, but this generation may not think like this , however movie still shows how society is , how class divide is very prominent , n it's a story like dreaming bigger than boots , I m just giving example but it may sound outrageous n impossible in our society n that's why this film is important ... I didn't even think this movie will go towards a love story between the two coz this is so new n not observed ... But it made me look better at the help I get through their help n how it's for them to be this invisible n how less they aspire coz someone doesn't give them space to come out n breath . It's very apt movie for changing times in indian society
There are couple of reasons this relationship is at risk of being judged and thus a taboo. One which you easily get is the class difference. The second, is the connotation and bad context attached to the equation of a maid and the employer. Usually such relations are discrete in nature, and just for pleasure. And this is something which i guess will be more explored here...because class is a little less of an issue in this very posh and urban side of the city.
Please watch "Shadows of Time" ("Schatten der Zeit") of 2004. Highly recommended. It was the first movie I got introduced to two brilliant (world-class) actresses: Tilottama Shome(the actress of SIR) and Tannishtha Chatterjee. At the same time, you will watch the amazing act of (late) Irffan Khan, Prashant Narayanan and the legendary Bengali actor (late) Soumitra Chatterjee. 🙂
Finally!! This trailer has been around for years now it seems. The movie has been doing the rounds of festival circuits for so long, but I guess no one dared to release it theatrically. Finally I guess its coming on Netflix? You have seen the lead male actor in the Marathi film Court.
@@preetikulkarni305 Yeah I looked it up later. Nov 13, 2020 once the theaters reopened in India, amidst a pandemic. This kind of film unfortunately would not have garnered much audience even in normal times, I wonder how many would have gone to see it now. It was actually released in European theatres way back in 2018 when it was already playing the festival circuit!

@@86upsmaya she clearly states that, proud of people like Ratna.
Korbin is dead right. The first thing that came to my mind after seeing this gorgeous film was The Lunchbox. And a great predecessor to it. Especially because it's based out of Mumbai.
Also the relationship starts with food😋
Yesss, PLEASE watch this movie, it’s a beautiful story ❤️❤️
it was a really great movie...and its not a movie about a love story but a story about classism...and this movie is really different because its not talking about caste division or religious division because we have had too many movies on those issues involving love story and many people accept inter caste and inter religious unions....but i have never seen the class divide being tackled like that and its because that class division still exists and thrives in today's society.....the way you saw one woman scolding the maid is unfortunately how many people behave with lower working class people and you can forget about marrying one in today's time...people will mock you and embarass you...its still one more thing we need to address in our society and i loved that this movie portrayed that.....also for once atleast the movies didnt portrayed that maid-employer relationship as a lustful sexual one like they generally do in the movies and portrayed real love story..
This film should be at the top of your priority list!
It premiered at Cannes. Seriously good movie
This is a gem of a movie. Watch Tilottama Shome in Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding and in the short film Nayantara's Necklace
I just watched this movie on Netflix last night and it was an absolute gem! It has been a long time since a movie has pulled me in so deeply. I loved it.
One of the best films I have ever seen in these times.... Touching all cultural problems without being cliche..... Tilottama Shome is one of the most underrated actor ..if anyone has not seen her interview with Rajeev Masand (class act) please watch it to see how brilliant and wonderful she is ... If she was in Hollywood she would be household name.. .. Hard to believe that this film was struggling for 2 years to release....
This movie is finally getting the credit & acceptance it deserved.
Tillotama Shome, her last name is pronounced as “Show+m”
Watch the movie!!! Watch the movie!!
Rick , u r spot on... Just watch this movie to see her body language, gestures. Well done by both main actors. the way she speaks to him as her SIR and their mutual admiration. He on d other hand is so kind , helping n sooo genuine.
This indeed is a lunchbox type movie .simple but will be impactful.
You guys have seen the actress in Hindi Medium and Monsoon Wedding and the Actor was the main lawyer in the Marathi movie Court. This movie is Masterpiece available on Netflix . Highly recommended
Classism especially the treatment meted out out to servants is bad as much as caste problem. People imagine or accept affairs between people from these two classes but not serious relationship. Especially the maid is a widow and it will affect her life more seriously than his because she is risking her freedom to work and independent life.
The whole point of the film is that we live in a society that this relationship will not be accepted because its not just the class difference but also culture, language, education and status. There is a dialogue in the film that says, you can look away from the fact that she is a maid but the society will never let it forgot you.
Exactly
This is a beautiful film to understand the class caste hierarchy.
About the dynamics between people and their servant here in India, well, it's a taboo I would say. All the more, for the maid/servant. Because the society will only make fun or blame or shame the servant not their employer. Even in the film, if the guy is saying he doesn't care is because he is privileged and doesn't understand the world the maid comes from. Though Rick is right that people do have reservations when it comes to "stepping down". I remember my friend telling me that his friend from America had a crush on my friend's maid. He wanted to approach her. And my friend had to explain him how the poor woman's life will be ruined if she goes out with him. Even if she says no. Her own people will not let her go out from the home once they find out she was approached by this guy. Dating and relationship is too far fetched. She would lose the job.
It's understandable how the idea is so alien to Rick and Korbin. But that's the reality here. This whole idea of dating your servant is unthinkable. The concept of dating is anyway exclusive in a certain sections of society. Many, even today, are just tied off to someone their parents decide and that's their only option. Loving someone is like an act of revolution in this country. Especially for the marginalized who do not belong to the mainstream. Funny, no? 😀
Well said👏👏
I watched this last year and absolutely loved it.
Definitely a must watch!
Please watch this movie, Rick and Korbain. You won't be disappointed.
GO WATCH IT NOW!
Putting in the US context, the closest equivalent is a poor Latina immigrant from a Mexican village who works as a maid for a rich young WASP who lives in Manhattan. And they fall for each other.
I think there is a rom com like that in Hollywood ,so its not a big deal
You just described the film maid in manhattan.
@@avrakehdabra5863 yup. But probably a more gritty and realistic version.
U should watch the interview with the actor ...where she explains why she is uncomfortable ...coz money may by class but can't buy dignity ... when ch is the character all about
You need to understand the cultural and socio-economic structure of India to be able to understand some of the social norms. Not everything is fair but then which country or culture really has that? Also lot of belief systems have thousands of years of historical context and things that are not right do and will change. It will take time. I think every culture/country has its weaknesses. I like many Indians have grown up in households where we have had house helps for domestic work. There are layers of complexities involved in a relationship between a homeowner and their house help. Its not a typical professional relationship as the help is part of your household and therefore your personal lives intertwine. Many house helps work all their lives for same families/family and become like family and yet there is that deep rooted deep seeded difference - interestingly sometimes from both sides! Romantic relationships or marriages would be a big thing and in many parts of India - a scandal! I can compare it a little to what also happens in the West. When my friend (Indian by ethnicity) was introduced by her boyfriend to his parents (White American family from Texas) they were definitely not jumping with joy and tried to convince him very hard to not marry her (racial prejudice)! And I know personally of a case (again in America) where the guy was a struggling musician so also worked as a waiter and how his fiance's family rejected him as they were extremely well to do (class difference). They got married without her family's participation or blessings. So it does happen everywhere but is more common in India. I feel though things are changing in India. There is more awareness of social justice and equality. Hopefully one day we will all be able to live and let live. This is a fab movie telling a beautiful story. The acting is just fantastic. Both Tillotama Shome and Vivek Gomber are awesome and the direction is flawless. You have seen the actress in A Death in the Gunj and Vivek Gomber produced 'Court'
Watch the movie its a great movie.
I think for this film to hit in the right way, it is important to understand the servant/mister relationship in India. These ppl will often love in ones home and even raise you, but they would never eat with you, you will barely speak outside of their work, and you will not form friendships. As an American going to south asia, this can be quite jarring. How can you be in such close quarters with someone, yet be so far from each other? This movie does a great way of subtlety showing that.
Thank u soooo much for reacting to this.....MUST WATCH!!!❤️...and yes the class division is a THING here, more than u can imagine. So this movie was beautiful for me. Teaches u to open up ur heart a little.
Just kidding you should watch it 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is one of the finest movies ever
Relatable subject across class and a well made movie. For some of us from the same urban culture who continue to feel uncomfortable about the concept of live in maids, a very true picture. Also if you want a classic on a similar story line check out Shyam Benegal's Ankur.
Great movie... you guys will definitely love it
Just 2 hours back I was literally going through all your videos from the past 3 to 4 months, just to see have you reacted to the trailer yet or not of this movie. And here you have the trailer reaction :-D By the way, amazing movie, do watch it
Day 33 of asking OSR to react to Ranbir Kapoor's podcast with AIB
I wud lyk to clarify a thng here whch i hv alrdy done once in one of ur videos. All maids dnt cm frm lower caste, caste isnt a issue here. Its more about class nd financial status of rich nd poor in society. Dnt link everythng wid the caste system.
Class system & caste system totally different things. Hopefully people get it soon.
@@sharethoughts3804 : Lol, as a Sociology major I just feel like shouting at top of my voice when caste and class are interchangeably used. 🤦🏼♀️
Emotions perfectly balanced in this one. A must watch for everyone
Tilotama Shome has dome some great work. To list a few examples of her excellent performance is shadows of time, monsoon wedding and qissa. After watching sir you will want more of her talent.
5:56 if someone is different.. It's a prejudice.. Well said❤
obviously, its first time in Indian cinema. it's a must watch & maybe it would be the best of 2021. and Tilottama Shome is a great actor, you can watch her great acting in Qissa(with Irrfan) & Kadwi Hawa(with Sanjay Mishra)
Americans are so clueless about how class works in their society, and that’s the reason the class system remains unchanged in the United States. This whole spiel about you can love whoever you want in America is BS.
very true lol like yes sure you can love whoever you want in america but you most definitely will be judged for who you love in america based on a MULTITUDE of factors (race, class, socioeconomic status, etc.)
Yes! Watch it now. It was actually much sweeter and hopeful than I expected.
Thank uuu for watching and reacting
Finally...I have watched it thrice. Beautiful movie with great acting n direction.
I would tell it right now Rick will love this movie 😂😂😂
This movie is about the practicality of the system and society we live in , as the world is growing , we are growing , people in India are not anymore afraid of society and what people think , but that doesn't change the fact thay we are who we are , i mean this movie potrays that she doesn't stop herself from loving her "SIR" but she doesn't want anymore labels and heavy duty insult that comes with it , so she keeps it to herself and decides to do the right thing , and once at the very end , she feels that she can have a separate identity , that could fetch her repect she demands , she stop calling him "SIR" , sorry spoiled it for ya , but this story just not talks about love and cages of society but practical decisions as well ,
At the end of the day , you never wanna lose someone you love but you don't wanna be miserable with them ,
so you just let love be .....
Its not common at all...unthinkable mostly.. this kind of social discrimination is so deeply rooted you sometimes dont even realize that you are doing it unconsciously.
Please do a panipat Movie review, saw your trailer reaction Video and was so impressed and also if you can do the historic battle reaction video it will be amazing.. Can’t wait to see them.
I just finished watching this movie 2minutes ago XD
The movie is a gem 💎 to film industry actors are perfect in there area and pan
Expectations : SIR
Reality : Lust stories
Exactly!
Guys it's a Must watch.. it's an awesome movie.
This is India and not US . This movie is very prevalent and relevant with Indian context.
You guys should watch this film immediately, it has been trending at no 1 on Netflix India, I have already watched it 4 times over the weekend, it's like I binge watched a film lol.... It's that good 😌
It's a very indie film, Indo-french production, director is Rohena Gera, it's her debut film and she is brilliant, this film was made in 2018, then travelled to film festivals, won many awards and now finally released in India in theatres in Nov and now on Netflix
The two main leads are phenomenal
The actress Tillotama Shome is so effortless, her body language, her posture, everything is amazing 😍
She is one of the best female actors today, She deserves all the awards for this one, you guys have seen her in "Angrezi medium" and "A Death in the Gunj" in a supporting role
The actor Vivek Gomber is so good, this is his breakout role I guess, he too has done supporting roles before, You have seen him in "Court"
Also he is the producer of "Court" and "The Disciple", he was the one who backed the director of Court when nobody else was and I am happy now he is getting his due as an actor too 👍
Please watch this one soon, it deals with a difficult subject with so much sensitivity and maturity... 5stars for it
PS: I remember watching a Hollywood movie "Maid in Manhattan" with Jennifer Lopez which was the love story of a maid and a wealthy politician, of course it was more mainstream and a totally different style...
I saw the Thumbnail of this video
So I saw this Movie , just now😂😂😂
You don't understand the enormity of the class divide between maids and their employer in Indian context.
If such a relationship happens probably it will be frustratingly incompatible . No "love is not enough ,Sir"
One of the best movies made. Totally worth a watch.
pls react to actor Jayasurya's new Malayalam movie "Vellam" trailer.
Dhobi Ghat touched on this concept in a way as well. Social classism exists everywhere. Remember Mystic Pizza?
This is available on Netflix USA. Very good movie. You should definitely watch it.
Did both of you you watch Welcome Home🧐🧐
Welcome Home is on Sony Liv
SIR (2018) is a very beautiful movie ❤️
🌸 It's a beautiful and sensitively directed little film, based on Gera’s personal observations how “the help” is often treated in India and the invisible dividing lines between “classes” that everyone seems to have normalized. I’ll be looking forward to whatever Rohena Gera is making next. 🥰
I was thrilled to see Tillotama Shome shining in a leading role (long overdue!). 🤩 You should also watch *Monsoon Wedding* (Mira Nair, 2001), *Shanghai* (Dibaker Banerjee, 2013) and *Manto* (Nandita Das, 2018), for her performances of course, but mostly because these are great films. ♥️ I gotta watch *Qissa* and *A Death in the Gunj* soon. 😻
There are some serious class issues here.....😛 Marry with in your jati but outside your gender. Within your religion but outside your gotra. There are specifics in India whom you can marry and not. 😎

I can not stop talking about this movie. One of the finest movies in Bollywood.
I am definitely watching this.
Amazing movie.. Simple and yet so effective and close to real... You guyz should watch it....
Please do watch this movie. It's a simple contemporary masterpiece. Yes, it does give the lunchbox kinda vibe. You'll love it. #mustwatch
It's available on Netflix.
Such a great movie. I got addicted to it. Watched it again and again. Osr, now I need your review.
Seriously one of the best and most touching Indian movies I've watched in a while. It's one of those movies that leave you thinking about it days after you've watched it. I rewatched the movie 2 days after the first time because I couldn't stop thinking about it LOLL and it was even better the second time because I caught a bunch of tiny details throughout that make it even more brilliant. Highly recommend you guys watching it
Lol! Even I did the same, I watched it thrice and every time something new caught my eyes. Specially that recipe for mutton 😅 would like to read the complete recipe.
Monsoon wedding review
Now finally these type of discriminations are breaking. The younger generation are equal no matter what is their economic background.

Beautiful movie! Must watch ❤️
I think getting married or dating your maid is common there..but in India it's frowned upon ...this movie depicts classism...highly recommend
Please watch The Great Indian Kitchen Malayalam movie...
Please React on Welcome Home trailer
Plz watch this movie
It's the first time , that's what there was this actor who lost his career for the same reason though it was a rape case, so it's seen bad in society to be mixing in the classes, but this generation may not think like this , however movie still shows how society is , how class divide is very prominent , n it's a story like dreaming bigger than boots , I m just giving example but it may sound outrageous n impossible in our society n that's why this film is important ... I didn't even think this movie will go towards a love story between the two coz this is so new n not observed ... But it made me look better at the help I get through their help n how it's for them to be this invisible n how less they aspire coz someone doesn't give them space to come out n breath . It's very apt movie for changing times in indian society
Excellent movie. Must watch of 2021
React to Music teacher trailer, it is a very beautiful movie. The movie is on Netflix.
It's a beautiful movie. Please watch this. Tilottama Shome is an exceptional actor!
There are couple of reasons this relationship is at risk of being judged and thus a taboo. One which you easily get is the class difference. The second, is the connotation and bad context attached to the equation of a maid and the employer. Usually such relations are discrete in nature, and just for pleasure. And this is something which i guess will be more explored here...because class is a little less of an issue in this very posh and urban side of the city.
Please watch "Shadows of Time" ("Schatten der Zeit") of 2004. Highly recommended.
It was the first movie I got introduced to two brilliant (world-class) actresses: Tilottama Shome(the actress of SIR) and Tannishtha Chatterjee. At the same time, you will watch the amazing act of (late) Irffan Khan, Prashant Narayanan and the legendary Bengali actor (late) Soumitra Chatterjee. 🙂
Please react on this movie...
Finally!! This trailer has been around for years now it seems. The movie has been doing the rounds of festival circuits for so long, but I guess no one dared to release it theatrically. Finally I guess its coming on Netflix? You have seen the lead male actor in the Marathi film Court.
It was released in the theatres in Nov 2020
@@preetikulkarni305 Yeah I looked it up later. Nov 13, 2020 once the theaters reopened in India, amidst a pandemic. This kind of film unfortunately would not have garnered much audience even in normal times, I wonder how many would have gone to see it now. It was actually released in European theatres way back in 2018 when it was already playing the festival circuit!
@@aditya2088 yes I know about the films journey, I am happy it's finally getting it's due... it's trending in top 3 on NetflixIndia
