now, ofc it's time for #pathaanonprime. Image
ekdam bekaar aur cringe-worthy note pe starting. ImageImageImage
cinematic parallels b/w pathaan & the legend ImageImage
*whistles* ImageImageImageImage
whoever has done the closed captioning, good job. Image
that camera rotating with the shotgun in the air is just *chef's kiss*
pathaan//apocalypse now//star wars: tfa//army of the dead ImageImageImageImage
pretty sure this is how shah rukh from k3g woulda reacted to shah rukh from pathaan ImageImage
dekho mereko toh harr line mein subtext dikhta hai. and this line is probably for all those who thought srk is done since he hadn't a single movie in around 5 years. Image
i love this bit. jim always ensures you understand the gravity of the situation. ImageImage
using "aye mere watan ke logon... zara yaad karo qurbani" to do john abraham's face reveal? everyone was kinda stunned when they watched it for the 1st time @ the theater.
in an ideal situation, pathaan would've learned something from this very teaching moment instead of slathering more nationalism over it. but fir shayad movie release nahi hoti. this is a great bit though. ImageImageImageImage
hashtag scenes in movies that go unnecessarily hard
bohot zor ka tamacha thaa ye. ImageImageImageImage
ye scene dekhte waqt toh kuch kuch nahi, bohot kuch ho raha tha🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

nobody's beating this look, this year at least. Image
the one thing that ties together the movies in the yrf spy universe: high school level jokes

Image
pathaan (dop: satchith paulose) // the graduate (dop: robert surtees) ImageImage
pathaan // mission: impossible 3

(hoping that y*r*f doesn't send a d*m*c*a notice for this even though officially prime pe hi dekh raha hu)
my man was too stunned to speak. Image
okay, so the deleted scene was some torture porn with a bad joke. sahi hai delete kar diya. i was assuming they were gonna restore some of the moments they've deleted from the action sequences for the digital release. ImageImageImageImage
the bike chase in war was already a major flex for yrf's face replacement vfx. but this uncut train fight in #pathaan? it really beats everything. no dead eye. there's expressions. the lighting. it's all pretty much perfect. vfx breakdown nikalo bhai.
apt description for the audience's reaction to this whole sequence. Image
totally didn't get this main hoon na reference but it makes sense ImageImage
MERE KARAN ARJUN WAPAS AA GAYE! Image
@ yrf, behind-the-scenes, making-of, kuch toh footage nikalo bhai ye poore scene ka? Image
pathaan // skyfall ImageImageImage
the music does intensify when i've to step out of the house for any reason. Image
this was the most unexpected cheer that pathaan got. all 5 times that i watched it at the theater.
my man raza was ready to risk it all for a threesome. fir yaad aya accha international spy mission chal raha hai. ImageImageImageImage
ImageImage
this shot? on the big screen? deepika's eyes. srk's lips quivering. W O W. Image
i KNEW they must've shot more scenes of srk walking because srk walking is A R T. but it was left on the cutting room floor. makes sense though cuz it messes with the pacing (hehe) of the film.
so that hairdresser joke had a set-up in a deleted scene. ImageImageImageImage
rizzjection ImageImageImageImage
abb se aise hi salary negotiate karenge. ImageImageImageImage
kya samjhe? samjhe ki nahi samjhe? ImageImageImageImage
john abraham's delivery makes this my favorite line from the film. Image
oh fuck, just realized. so yes, the truck fight in pathaan is a dhoom reference. but LOOK who's in the background in the truck fight from dhoom. that's right. shah rukh khan. ImageImage
ahh another deleted scene. ImageImageImageImage
jim ke andar ek influencer hi hai. ImageImage
if angela bassett got an oscar nom for doing the thing in that dumb blockbuster, dimple kapadia should also get one for doing the thing in this dumb blockbuster.
i said what i said. Image
funniest moment in the movie.
*pin drop silence* ImageImageImageImage
underrated line delivery
hashtag more scenes in movies that go unnecessarily hard
pathaan sacrifices a "protagonist learns from the antagonist & changes his whole worldview" moment for this cool shot. worth it?
reclamation. ImageImageImageImage
chalo bohot ho gaya thread wread. sab kaam pe lag jao.

in RDB the villain states that corruption in india thrives cuz public memory is short. every snooty "jawan isn't revolutionary for asking people to vote" tweet is reminding me of that cuz it seems that folks have forgotten about the teacher who got fired for saying exactly that.
"we're so backwards as a country," "the bar is so low," "this kinda politics is present in south movies," "jawan's politics is performative & for money." ekbar apne ivory tower se utar ke dekh lo ground reality, backwardness dikh jaega aur bar toh dikhega hi nahi.
don't wanna state the obvious but ATLEE IS FROM TAMIL NADU. why would his politics change if he's making a bollywood film suddenly? also if the kind of politics jawan spews was SO PROFITABLE, saarein mainstream stars aur directors wahi nahi karte kya? what have they done instead?

we used to be a proper country.
i mean, yeah, the movie is perfect. but, what the fuck happened to multi-language title cards in bollywood? now it's just english & hindi? now due to pan india releases, movie names are written in telugu & tamil. what about the rest?

i like how the film doesn't provide any easy answers. mohan starts with usa good & india bad. but then the villagers are like india amazing, usa bad. but as the plot moves forward, it becomes evident that the whole village is broken into pieces due to rampant casteism.
just when steps are taken to resolve the casteism, well, every other problem becomes apparent. and even though the electricity production is supposed to be this momentous occasion, it becomes clear there's so much more that needs to be done & it's not gonna happen quickly.

In the first two weeks of January I've seen the return of two of the most ass-hat arguments around film and film criticism. One is "anybody can be a film critic" and two is "film critics are privileged bitches whining about early access to films".
Here are my conclusive thoughts.
First, lemme talk about the "anybody can be a film critic" part. Yes, anybody can be a film critic. Everybody should be a film critic. The playing ground is still dominated by upper class White people in USA & upper class people from Delhi, Mumbai, & Bengaluru in India.
If you don't fall into either of these categories, please come & talk about films. If your is under-represented in film & film criticism, please come. We need more diversity because that's the only way the general discourse around films and even the quality of films will improve.

Imagine living in the US of fucking A, talking about "going to the theatres only" (which has clearly become a case of affordability), & thinking that you're talkkng for the masses by dumping on the "elite" critics. @PostOpinions & @SonnyBunch, I'm sorry but fuck you for this.
Bro, just speaking about myself, I'm not some elite son of a bitch sitting on my throne made of gold giving out decrees to give screeners. IT IS MY FUCKING JOB. AND I'M TRYING TO DO THAT WITHOUT FUCKING DYING. I'm all for attacking my opinions cuz they're warped but what's THIS?
Also you wanna talk about leveling the playing field? Make movies affordable. Make theatres conducive for watching movies. Make the profession of film criticism equal for all so that over 80% of us don't have to scramble for accessibility to shit TO DO OUR JOB PROPERLY!

I just want movie/show PRs to know that I WANT to do reviews. I've a habit of not badgering people. Naturally that bleeds into my "brand" of professionalism. So I ask a max of 1-2 times for a screener. If they still ignore me, I just assume they hate me.
Aur kya karein?
Why do I have to ask for a screener every single time for every single movie or show? That too multiple times? If I've reviewed one thing, it means I'll review everything. Just put it on some email blast or WA broadcast and send it. How hard can that be? Seriously.
And what the hell is with this gatekeeping of certain IPs? "There are limited screeners for this". "There are limited interview slots for that". Chalo interview I understand. WTF are limited screeners? I just don't get the logic behind it. Please feel free to explain it to me.
