I really feel sad about TUMBAAD........A movie which took more than 5 years for shooting , A movie that really kept you hooked till the end was a disaster at the box office....Then it was rejected for Oscar Nominations.....Still many haven't watched this masterpiece... TUMBAAD IS LITERALLY A HIDDEN GEM 😍😍😍😍😍😍

90% of the cast in Nna Than Case Kodu was new faces which made me feel entering to a new world, especially the Judge 🔥

Selection of Gully Boy as an Oscar submission to me felt so absurd, there was Tumbaad, Kumbalangi Nights, and I think even Hellaro and Sonchiriya were there. So many great films and Gully Boy was what they chose. The Lunchbox, Sardar Udham and The Great Indian Kitchen not being selected by the jury was also a surprise to me. I do know that an American award isn't necessary for a film to prove it's brilliance, but if we are taking part in a competition, why not give our best shot. I am not taking anything away from the film that has been sent for the Oscars, but the jury must also look at the current situation, and RRR was the perfect choice for this year seeing the traction it is getting in the West. Needless to say, the jury is making constant blunders to say the least. Edit: I forgot that even Super Deluxe was a choice in 2019, but Gully Boy was what they sent lol..

Fun Fact about "Naa Thaan Case Kodu" - the whole movie was shot once as a rehearsal with almost all the casts to understand the end product. The actual shoot with lead characters happened after this.

After no sardar udham i lost hope from Indian selectors

Rajesh Madhavan who played the auto driver character in Nna Thaan Case Kodu was the casting director of the film.

Fun fact - 90% the supporting cast inside the court scenes, which takes up the majority of the film, aren't even real actors. They were randomly picked up from the particular town that the movie is set in, and auditioned. I loved all of their performances, especially the judge's, whom like Jaby, even is my favourite. You will never think even for a second that these people are untrained actors, while watching the film. It's miraculous that the director was able to get such amazing performances out of these people to be honest. It's truly a must watch film. It should be watched especially for the message that it gives.

The way Kunjacho Boban has transformed himself into the character is beyond amazing (nna than case kodu). He was the chocolate boy of 90s mallu cinema

The blueprint of Parasite was right there to follow. There are many movies better than Parasite, even in Bong Joon-ho's filmography, but Parasite capitalized on the word of mouth. Sadly we won't copy/follow Korean cinema when it mattered. There's a reason we haven't reached even the Top 10s of the nominations in the past few years. High time the jury recognizes the fault in their ways.

Nna than case kodu is so subtle and beautiful. Love the small nuances and story progression. The climax during covid and the effect on the court room

Oke oka Jeevitham was directed by my friend. He lost his mother in 2013 and it’s a tribute to his mother. A beautiful, emotional and a sci fi movie. I request all of you to watch it. ♥️

Super deluxe would've been the movie to be nominated for oscar not tumbad or gullyboy.(Basing on my opinion) Super deluxe is so underrated that when you watch this movie, you really feel that the quality of characters in the movie and the story with all the philosophy behind each scene that elevates the viewers experience with multiple thinking patterns of the world that you're looking into. Also the amount of focus that you need in this movie is absolutely 0 because the world that super deluxe created is out of the world(heavily gripping). Hits you with social, political, emotional points of the movie that makes you question why the board didn't certify this masterpiece to send it for oscars. PURE POLITICS in this world we live in.

Why do i feel like, half of jammy's life is all about regret not watching good movies in theaters.. (Even when he is recommended that movie by thousands)

If Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon can be nominated for 8 Academy Awards and also grab an award for Best Foreign Film due to it's mass popularity then I am sure that RRR would have no doubtably won an award for Best Foreign Film.

How malayalam cinema is doing this with limited budget , is amazing...

As much as I envy you for having a career where you get to watch a lot of films and analyse them rather than sitting in a cubicle all day, I also wonder how difficult it was for you to convince your parents that you're going to do this full time. It is very difficult to convince Indian parents when you're switching to a career like this. Well done brother, you've not only pursued your career but have also been very successful at it.

How can you forget The Disciple (2020) which was being supported by Alfonso Cuoron and it was up for Golden Lion at Venice but Indian jury again sidelined it

Jury is joke They sent Paheli over Swadesh Jeans over Satya Barfi over Lunchbox Gully boy😂 over Tumbbad Didn't sent Sardar Udham coz angrez bura maan jayenge😬

Rajamouli is specifically promoting it in states now. He’s eyeing his next to be pan world and not just pan Indian. I see his ambition. We all should support him. Coz he’s the only one who promises and never disappoints. He’s our Spielberg and Cameron. Let’s embrace him. I am manifesting rajamouli to make the first billion dollar movie at the worldwide box office

I was hoping for you to do an entire video about "Nna thaan Case Kodu". This movie just blew my mind....one of the best films I've ever watched.

Indian Jury likes gareeebi and suffering i think, why select low budget self indulgent art film again when that strategy hasn't worked for past 20 years, wasted a golden opportunity by old fashioned thoughts 🙏🙏

Kunjako boban who is by the way a very good dancer, hits it out of the park with his robotic dance in the movie. That dance has become a rage in Kerala.. Thanks for reviewing these movies...

What stand out was the court room scenes..no drama, no background scores...the REAL COURT ROOM STYLE scene.. was too good

I never thought of RRR as an Oscar worthy material. But after seeing Stuckmann's take on it, I understand what they are looking for and agree that would have been a good choice.

Let's just forget them because even giving our second talking about FFI is a big sin Sadly FFI loves sending copied ideas and art and sending movies that shows the poverty and child labour But never send a movie that shows our talent , and progress

all of these are distractions, the main problem of indian cinema and art community in general is, that artists (writers, directors etc) are not being able to be or just dont be in there own individual creative journey and self learn the craft and create there own approach and style of art and make whatever they want, rather than molding themselves to fit in categories. And also there is generally this culture in author and film community that they dont give there 100 percent and try to achieve little more and being in uncharted territories

I really loved the film 'Nna than Case Kodu'. I honestly did not expect it to be this great. Kudos to the writers and the actors👏👏👏

I lost it when Jammy pronounced "nna thaan case kode" . You are too cool Jammy, love how you gives your best!

Oke Oka Jeevitham was Just Awesome and Emotional ❤️

malayalam cinema is truely groundbreaking

I saw both NNA THAAN CASE KODU and THALLUMAALA on the First Day in Theaters and it was soooooo Good Experience and also the judge reminded me of Saurabh Shukla of JOLLY LLB

I never think twice before adding your recommendations to my watchlist and I must tell you I have never been disappointed!! Thank you so much for being the most genuine voice and covering cinema across the country. I watched Anjaam Pathiraa finally as I found it with subtitles just few days back but I was searching for it since the time you recommended. Whenever I watch your videos, I feel someone is voicing my reactions and emotions though in a more Shashi Tharoor way of vocab :D Thanks again!!

It is evident that Jury has been a failure since the start and should revise their ways of selecting a movie for the oscars. Sometimes, I believe that they just want to create a debate among the people just for the sensation's purpose and thus make ridiculous choices.

🔥If RRR or sardar udham movie not selected for Oscar becz they shown brtish in low limelight than what about LAGAAN how this film is selected 🤔💯

I don't know why a movie like Sardar Udham didn't get selected, but RRR had cartoonish action scenes and immortal heroes who just can't die despite all the pain. I do love to watch RRR again and again, but in my opinion it's not oscar worthy. I for once would love to see a movie about middle class or upper class from India getting selected for the oscar entr., I just hope indian movie makes can figoure it out.

Man that line of Irrfan really hit hard💔

I was crying my eyes out while watching Oke Oka Jeevitham / Kanam

Your pronunciation of the film Nna thaan case kodu just cracked me up 🤣😂. Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu got mixed reviews in TN as well. For me, VTK was good mostly bcoz of it's technical qualities as you mentioned and the acting of STR which was surprising as he's never explored this side of him. For GVM too, this is not his Territory. I agree with the indulgence of many things into the screenplay but it did not bore me anywhere while watching. Maybe I'm used to watch slowburn films even in theaters, that the lag didn't affect me anywhere. The climax was a bit rushed but I'm in for the sequel as it can explore many themes moving forward. Btw, the story is by Jayamohan who is a very popular author in TN. Jayamohan along with GVM has taken care of screenplay and dialogues.Flaws aside, Overall I liked VTK-Part1 The kindling. Oke oka jeevitham(Telugu)/ Kanam(Tamil). I watched the tamil version in theaters. What an overwhelming and wholesome experience it was. The acting, the screenplay and direction, the music all fell into place very well. Time travel element and emotional core blended really well into the narrative ❤👏. Overall, this was a beautiful experience. As a half malayali, I'm sorry that I still haven't watched Nna thaan case kodu and Attention please 😔. Will watch asap.🙂 RRR for Oscars had the potential bcoz the west was raving about the film. The Lunchbox was a miss followed by RRR. Maybe this thought has to be changed that only art films should get Oscars. RRR is not an easy film to make. Tons and tons of hardwork and sweat are behind the film. Some are criticizing that RRR is over the top but the emotional core of the story is beautifully blended within the action packed narrative. West validation is also important for the market of Indian films to expand. I'm hoping that RRR gets nominated in general categories so that Indian films can get a still wider audience there also.

Attention please and Nna thaan case kodu were absolute gems. Nna thaan case kodu was brilliant portrayal of current socially relevant topics like petrol prices, misuse of tax payers money and even current dog bites issue in Kerala. Attention please was also amazing. People who like these kind of “conversation based” movies, should watch the French movie Le Prénom

The scene where vennela kishore sir conversation with foreign Clint is just awesome and also the scene he request's his younger self to study He killed it, it was too good ,film's music and also children did great job. Really a good film

I was completely immersed into the movie, its like reading a book which will enthrall you when the high moments come up ! This is with hair raising background music ! Agree with the climax- they should have ended before the climax and giving quick look into Part2 with the climax PS: Advantage with OTT boom, we usually dont get regional movies with subtitles in hyderabad . However this changed since an year . This is my first tamil movie threatrical experience

Thank you for such geniune reviews. I couldn't believe RRR so easily be surpassed 😭 It is our loss for not considering it. I totally agree with the Malayalam movie Nna than case kodu which was hilarious and creative 😀

Oke oka jeevitham deserve more attention in general.. such a genuine and beautiful movie. I wish this was dubbed and promoted well in other languages too..

I think Jammy has gone jaded over the bizarre selection of the bizarre movies... That's why he said " jaisa chal Raha hai waise hi rehne do". And he is right

I think south should have their own jury for Oscar nominations. Why rely on the central jury which purposely overlooks such gems

Honestly, I feel that such actions are deliberate. Like they want to create a certain image of India and Indian cinema and do not wish to see it competing against the other fine masterpieces.

I remember in the late 90s when "Jeans" was once selected as India's entry to the Oscars. 🙂

Vennile Kishore is just an unsung actor in Indian Cinema. He has such presence, comic timing and emotional range...Love him! I am really impressed with STR movie choices over his career...and yes his personal life is none of my business but his acting skills and entertainment value is highly respected. Oke Oka Jeevitham - cant wait for OTT in my country.

When its about earning money they come to audience - and that seems like only role of the audience GENERATING MONEY? Why audience have like no control over what to send to oscars? After all we make a movie successful and flop

Vishnu Govind 's performance was so haunting

Tht was a superb video jammy ...great recommendations ❤️

The more indian jury runs behind Oscars with Poverty Stricken movies, the more Oscars gonna run away from them 😂 but they should have submitted Brahmastra 😂😂😂 that movie deserves an Oscar 😂😂😂

Whenever a channel talks about "Tumbbad" i can't control my angst over it. You will get RRR to match or parallel Bahubali But no one will ever come close to Tumbbad...Costly miss, we still don't realise.

I didn't really understand the hype of RRR, national or international. But, if the film has created this much of a buzz they should've used that opportunity. I don't think there's that much chance in the general category.

The magic of discovering cinema in an unknown language and following up with actor names.. a skill which Anmol has gained with his interest and profession over times and we the viewers, sometimes also do. I remember the time in college when I was "in love with" Anushka Shetty having now seen nearly every movie of hers upto Baahubali. I love Vijay Sethupathi's acting and have even watched the horrible Annabelle Sethupathi and the pointless but still entertaining Kathuvakula Rendu Kaadhal. Last week I saw Anjaam Pathira since it was released on Goldmines KZfaq channel in Hindi as Police Story, so I immediately recognised the actor in a thumbnail as Kunchako Boban. With Jammy, the audience also grows in choice through the eyes of his intellect and understanding. Kudos, bro

I used to like your thoughts about the movies which genuinely deserve much more reach, but in this video when u said that sardar udham was not chosen for the Oscars but jaibhim was represented from India, I see this as a milestone. Have you seen the KZfaq channel of the Oscars? Especially the scene at the Oscars? Where jaibhim was aired! And it has crossed almost 2.2 million views which never happened so far, so more than the award the reach was achieved, which I think is the real deal!

RRR can not only nominated for best international, but also for visual effects, soundtracks and few different awards(I am not getting the names right) but FFI has says otherwise

A lot of people and even critics were calling rrr an answer to marvel movies. Recently, chris stuckmann, who also loved the movie, said it reminds him of the movies like "commando but better". So when does such movies ever get an Oscar? Also sardar udham was a better movie and yet it still got rejected, so rrr getting rejected wasn't a big surprise to me at all

Jammy.. would be good to see a review of the Gujrati film.. maybe it is a good film after all? I think everyone has just bashed the movie without watching it.. I haven't watched it myself but would def do so if it's available on OTT!!

Thank you for reviewing Nna thaan case kodu....an absolute masterpiece

am glad you liked VTK as much as i did! Definitely a unique performance from str and classic GVM!

Oscar is not away form us but our jury is farrrrr away form selecting right movie... God bless them with common sense 🙏

Cinema is always making a constant buzz and even then if you see these kind of debacles then imagine other industries,sports etc..Unfair world we live in

Came across your channel for the first time. You are bang on with the reviews. The RRR miss on Oscars.. and your review on the malayalam movie Nna than case kodu. The way you pronounced the name of the movie was funny... but full marks on your review. Your heart is in the right place. Cheers.

I personally feel about these Indian jury members that they intentionally do such things just to impress the other foreign jury members. They might think if we nominate Indian movies we can look biased but while doing that they re just being unfair to good movies such as sardar udham and many others. Jab Indians hi indians k dushman hai to koi kya kare. Sad but true!!! Highly disappointed ☹️

Am surprised Attention Please didn't at least become average in box office performance in kerala. These movies are the ones that usually do well not like Bheesma puram but if Drishyam can become hit so can Attention Please can do half of what Drishyam achieved. Good movie and kept my attention, no unnecessary drama and song and dance. Really great malayalam films and at least glad that Nan Tha Case Kodu was a success in theaters.

that malayalam pronunciation of yours is so accurate. 10/10 hehe

Am so glad that the jury didn't send heropanti 2 for Oscars....feel happy for that guys 🤣

Rrr no doubt one of the best commercials movie but not a Oscars kind of movie.

A few people(here) dismiss RRR as just a commercial cinema failing to observe the nuances put forward by the movie. However the rest of the world sees RRR presented as a Shakespearean tragedy, from the songs (like dosti and even nacho nacho) fitting the movie and describing the scenes as they happen(none of which feels out of place) to characters acting consistent, despite being physically strong they are fragile in some places(Bheem cries when he sees Malli for the first time, Ram when he sees the locket of Sita). RRR can also be compared to Hollywood's commericial cinema like Django Unchained which also was about a badass character overcoming his oppressors or perhaps even Braveheart. RRR isn't a copy of anything at Hollywood, it's an original material(though has familiar beats) but it is our own thing, we made a 3hr period drama be interesting enough that audiences root for protagonist all throughout, and have dance offs which still feels the part of the world and makes you wanna dance those steps yourself. RRR is unique(although not completely to us, it still is fresh in lot of places) piece of cinema which just gives cinephiles hope that mainstream films can be artsy and awe-inspiring and also not boring like most oscar nominees. It's justified for you, Anmol to be pissed at a sure shot winner not getting sent for nominations.

Gali boy for Oscar is pure example of partiality Tumbaad is a master piece

Hope Next year Annachi will sponsor the jury to select "The Legend"

2022- gujrat election - chelleo show(gujrati movie) 2021 - tamilnadu election - Pebbles(tamil movie) 2020 - kerala election 2021 , covid 19- jallikattu (malyalam movie ) 2019- Maharashtra state election .- gully boy 2018- NE 3 state elections- Village Rockstars (Assamese movie ) 2017 - UP elections and many hindi belt state election - Newton (hindi movie ) 2016 -Tamilnadu election -Visaranai (Tamil movie)

Top four films this year - 1. RRR 2. Oke oka jeevetham 3. Sitaraman 4. Ante sundaraniki All four of my best films of india this year are from Telugu cinema 🤌 Love from Odisa ♥️ Ps: yes, Major and Karthikeya2 are also really epic, will definitely take top7

Can u pls make a video on how many south indian movies have been selected by jury for Oscars?? I hope there are atleast 5.

Bro lots of people doesn't understand the procedure by oscar selecting international every one thinking that just an artistic film will be selected and a box office hit and popular will not parasite was most celebrated and box office hit in south korea then it became popular in us and earned oscar nomination and won four oscar highest in that year Please do a video on osacr procedure on selecting international films

STR Screen presence is outstanding every time in every movie👌👍

Is the hindi dub of Nna Than Case Kodu good? If not I will watch the original one... Asking because since last some days my eyes are paining and reading subs will be a little too much 🙃

Unfortunately NTCK didn’t realise here, missed it, but I saw and agree with ALL ur points Re VTK & OOJ - absolutely BANG ON!!! The emotional connect in OOJ left me in floods of tears, even after the film was over. VTK has such a haunting score, it’s on loop in my mind!!!! I defo did NOT appreciate how it became KGF though - totally unwarranted!!!

I loved this video, because it resonated my angst for not selecting, RRR, Tumbad and also Sardar Udham Singh. Tumbaad made me to check at least the trailers of Bollywood movies again. I still regret that I could not watch Tumbaad on a big screen.

I really wanna know who these ppl are who decide which movie to send to the Oscars.... they're making the wrong choice almost every single year it's obvious that some old boomers r sitting at the table making decisions Out with the old in with the new.... Please 🤦‍♂️

I will never get enough of Non Malayalees trying and failing to pronounce Kunchko Boban's name. It takes me back to my childhood when I used to call him Kecheka Babu

Please review " Avasavyuham" excellent alien mockumentary film available in Sony LIV

Nnan Than Case Kodu is definitely a brilliant experience with its simplicity and storytelling. However, I hated the awfully translated English subtitles on Hotstar, at times it showed the complete opposite of what was being said. (And they have never had such bad subtitles before) Unfortunately with theatres too, it's difficult to find shows with english subtitles. I wish I could learn the language easily.

According to our jury, a Oscar nomination worth movie should be about some social issue. It can be poverty, lack of infrastructure, lack of education and opportunities, naxalism etc. Basically our movies should reflect the western idea of third world nations.

Theme for an Indian movie to be shortlisted in oscars- 1. Characters revolve around dirt and poverty. 2. Show unrealistic real situations. 3. Shouldn’t contain any melody songs. 4. No hyping up scenes. 5. Should be dull and gloomy. 6. Protagonist dies miserly etc.

I like how you package this video no-one would have tuned in to just listen to your thoughts on VTK

For those who think we don't need oscar validation to prove the film's worth. It's not about validation, it's about commerce. An Indian commercial film winning an oscar will open up a whole new market for Indian films, it will make whole western world more receptive to Indian cinema.

I am still pissed that they didn't sent Wednesday to oscars And it remake was praised world wide 🥺

Aayirathil oruvan is a film based on a fictional Chola empire similar to PS 1, which is directly comparable to Bahubali if not better. To those who haven't seen the film it is a must watch film which shifts it's tone between various elements such as action/adventure to fantasy. It is certainly an Underrated gem Fun fact : Anurag Kashyap chose G.V.Prakash's score for Gangs of Wasseypur after this film

I don't know about the movie or actors But keervani's OSTs of rrr had achance to be in nomination atleast ...

Is the audio quality bad in this video or is it just me? Great video regardless. Will definitely check these ones out.

I will wait for the nominations to be announced. I believe that RRR will be nominated. Don't know why we didn't send it though...

Jammy also check out Natchatiram Nagargiradhu, when jts available again, watched it in a theatre, really a must watch!

I really like Your Videos becoz You will Watch indian movies regardless of the language and you will suggest the content movies.

RRR is earning praises from foreigners, proving different style of story elements (dance numbers, over the top action, dramatic scenes) with unique executions can be viewed by anyone as long as the story is good and make audience feel connected with characters.

Tumbaad was just awesome.... Bharat ratna 💎 of films

We actually don't know but south movie industry especially Malayalam and Tamil film industry are making gems one by one. Hridayam What a movie man! And the recent one of Dhanush and Nitya menon is amazing as well. There is not a single Bollywood movie which is better. Bollywood have had history of remakes whether it is a song, movie or even background music. Bhool bulaiya 2 is actually mixture of few south indian horror films too. Nobody noticed but it actually is.

I love your pronunciation of the movies 😊

I kind of disagree here. Surely FFI is flawed however Pan Nalin is an exceptional director. I saw the film trailer and I somehow got why the film made it and that though unanimously. 1. It was celebrating the concept of cinema. Usually Indian art cinema is filled with shades of Hollywood, Italian neorealism, New French Wave, Japanese noir, Korean Wave etc. We are not really creating out own wave. We are merely taking shades from other cinema waves. 2. Is South, Hindi and Bengali the only pioneers of Indian cinema? So what if a Gujrati movie which did not get as much PR hype as the others is getting nomination? Directors like Rajamouli have a huge money to buy the national and international press and PR. And we Indians are so naive that whatever is being advertised to us on the internet, we automatically lap it up. People in Bollywood are clearly doing chamchagiri of the South so that they can expand their business to non-hindi speaking states. How many times Pan Nalin's films have got the mainstream cinema hype that other received for their mediocre content? Just because small directors need a big production banner, being in the coterie of well known directors, cozying up with big stars, large scale PR machinery, marketing etc to succeed. Then we are indirectly supporting nepotism, cliques, camps and cartel system which we have been fighting against! What is the whole point of ranting about Karan Johar and star kids when we ourselves cannot support independent cinema. 3. Do we really need to show an 'us vs them' narrative in films in order to generate unity? Do we really need to show villains in order to make our films successful? TBH I have not watched Chello Show but even in the trailer itself, there was nobody really bad or the oppressor. Just a kid getting inspired to make movies. Isn’t that positive? Why do we need to be so negative all the time? 4. I agree with the poverty porn argument to some extent but firstly- a vast majority of Indians still live in villages and there is nothing wrong in living in villages. Villagers are also intelligent in their own way. Secondly, when we watch films based in Italian, English, American, countryside; We call that exotic but when it is our own village, we somehow view it as filthy. Even films like The Kite Runner, The Salesman and even a Hollywood film like Joker showed poverty and they have been sent to international film festivals. Were they thinking that the world will view them in a certain way? No! 5. Lastly, regarding remakes. Even Hollywood takes inspiration from several movies around the world including China. The Departed (which itself was a remake of a Hong Kong movie) and La La Land have ‘taken inspiration’ from several movies. Instead of feeling great that an independent film from our country is getting global recognition. We are sitting and cribbing. Also we are the same audience that complains about how bad ‘masala movies’ are as compared to international standards but we still root for RRR to get an Oscar nomination.
