What other videos should we react to??

It should have been Malayalam movie “Kumbalangi Nights “or tamil movie “Super Deluxe” or Hindi movie “Tumbad”

Bro, Kumbalangi nights was a huge commercial successful movie in malayalam last year!!.was running with a full packed theatres..It is not an "artsy" film. Most of the malayalam movies are both commercial and artsy combined together, bcs the malayalam audience support good movies even in theatre. ✌️

I don't understand why we want oscar's validation so badly even after knowing that there is a lot of politics that goes on behind the scenes . I think the need of the hour is to get films like tumbbad,sonchariya ,etc to get validation from the Indian audience itself as that is going to help the industry in the long run.

I completely agree with that video. Listen..if an artsy low-budget film cannot finance its campaign at the Oscars, then worthy production houses must take over and allocate the needed financial resources. In other words sell the film to a production house that could finance that Oscar campaign. - Salam Bombay was a small independent artsy film; Lagaan’s Director was literally unheard of, making the film the biggest sleeper success in Indian cinema history; and Mother India was only a hit after its Oscar buzz..so what happened? How did these films get Oscar nominations? - the answer is fairly simple, THEY TOOK A CHANCE.!! they had sent the right film, financed by the right production houses that helped with this campaigning process. And no Korbin; Gully Boy did not stand a chance. It just was not up to par as compared to other entries from other countries. The films that actually stood a chance, and deservingly so were: - Sonchiriya - Kumbalangi Nights - Tumbbad - Super Deluxe - Jalikattu Rick; that guy didn’t say Joker was a mainstream film...he said that Joker was the most mainstream film AMONGST all the other films nominated that year, which is true.. And as far as nepotism at the Oscars is concerned than remember - the fight against corruption in cinema and the awards industry is not only achieved via administration of transparency and due diligence...good content and supreme artistry also has the potential to cut through nepotism and deliver perspective!! All it takes is one good film and a chance. And that chance can only be attained if india sends quality-filled work to the Oscars and then campaigns the heck out it!! Great reaction video nonetheless. Good conversation. Good debate. Goodnight. Be safe.

They will never agree on the fact that gully boy dont deserve.

Malayalam movie ADAMINTE MAKAN ABU competed in 2011 oscars. The director made another movie about going to the oscars , he funded the whole promotions himself .

Bollywood doesn't let the deserving films be submissions for Oscars

Yes they should send flim like super deluxe jallikattu and kumbalanji nights 🙄🧐🧐🧐

sorry u dont like tumbbad ? Tumbbad was such a great film...i mean atleast 40x times better than gully boy .

First comment : Kumbalangi Night s should have been given to oscar

Kumbalangi nights is 100 time's better than gully boy's

Kumbalangi Nights! Hands down!

Malayalam movie Jallikattu also was oscar worthy... Just watch the movie with full sound.... You'll be mesmerized by the making..... This movie has message to convey...

Kumbalangi nights,Super deluxe, AAMIS they are the best in 2019

The hype of Parasite had started with its Cannes Win. Why everyone seems to forgetting that Cannes are instrumental to making any film a best picture contender at Oscars.

29 states.29 mind blowing Indian movies/ by tried and refused ..a gd insight into films other than Bollywood.

WATCH " AAMIS "(as he mentioned) IT'S AN ASSAMESE FILM AND THIS WAS A GREAT FILM LAST YEAR YOU GUYS NEVER TRIED ANY FILM FROM ASSAM

I am not Assamese but I agree with the video that aamis is great film Korbin you should watch it it's your type of film.

The minute I saw kumbalangi nights, I decided to not even watch gully boy 🙂.

Jalikattu is having a strong message.. And the cinematography was out of this world..

When you're obsessed with everything Bollywood obviously you would agree that Gully Boy was the right choice 😂😂🤷

Feeling so proud each time rick n korbin mentions 'Kumbalanji Nights' 💛

For the love of God :it's MA-LA-YA-LAM not MA-LA-LA-YAM

I love how AAMIS is totally ignored though it was one of the best

You guys don't wanna accept the fact that Gully Boy wasn't the deserving film to be sent . Alright 😅

Totally agree with you... Tumbadhh is the greatest masterpiece by Indian Cinema... But there are bunch of idiots in Bollywood... I am damn sure tumbadhh could won the Oscars 🤦🏻‍♂️😑

Tumbaad should have sent to Oscar instead of gullyboy

'Kumbalangi Nights'....What an amazing beautiful experience...!!!!

Someone like Satyajit Roy was given the Oscar in his death bed,oscar lost its credibility for me that moment

Thanks for all the content u provide.. We do need some entertainment during the lockdown period.

Strong message Hann what about jelliketu!

Please watch trailer of Sonchiriya..... The best film of 2019... And sadly completely ignored.. I am requesting from one year... Best acting Best cinematography Best story Best Writing...(the film is also mentioned in this video)

Rick : Academy considers only those film which have a strong statement in it. Me: India should resubmit Mother India. (knowing that it is not possible) As there exists no other film in the world of cinema which contains a message which is so deep and powerful.

Jallikettu should be there...

Dhoom 3 should have been nominated for the Oscar 😂

By mainstream he meant movies with a ton of promotion and high budget with well known actors with a name. And the Irishman and the joker fall under that category

Only if every movie industry can send one of their best movie to the Oscars. India won't allow movies from other industry except Bollywood to represent at Oscars.

Tumbaad and Super deluxe would've been better choices 1:48 but i do get your point on that

Rick's tooth denture is amazing. Perfectly crafted 🤭🤭

Rick to Corbin - I thought you giving me kiss Corbin - I don't wanna taste Hajmola😜

Joker was a great success because it was based on a very popular DC character The Joker.....if that movie based on a random guy I don't think it were get that much of a commercial success

Great video.👍🏻

🤣🤣👌Rick's intro..he is so spontaneous

Is an Oscar really important, our film industry is more than a century old. It has thrived on the love of the Indian audience. We love our movies & I think we should not even care about submitting any to the academy it's really not necessary.

Now i foubd that most underrated filim is jallikattu 2019. Mahn bgm score, cinematography, making.

Jelliketu, super deluxe, kumbalangi hmmm

And indian is far more than only bollywood

Why you guys is soo perfect

Slumdog Millionaire is a British film not an American film.

The definition of mainstream is something that's hugely anticipated, big budget, huge names attached to it and is making big news in the media. Now tell me if The Irishman, Marriage Story, Joker etc were not those.

0:27 lmao.. probably the best intro so far on OSR.

REALLY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT "ASUR" SERIES 😞😞😞

Lovely reaction as usual. I love how you guys actually study movies and the demographics where it comes from. I seldom see reaction videos that are filled with genuinely intelligent discussions and do not have random comments about colors/music/dancing/costume when it comes to Indian movies. Coming to the discussion, I strongly agree with most of your points. Although, I would like to understand one factor that Rick mentioned and that is the "American audience". My presumption is (which could be totally wrong) that the audience during the academy movie selection is an audience with higher sensibilities and awareness to the world. Some of these topics of the movies are heavy but when it comes to the audience or the deciding jury of the Academy, I would expect them to have the tenacity to understand and consume world cinema with that much maturity. The art of making movies and telling stories can not and should not be restricted by one's abilities to understand the stories or the intricacies of it. More than me, you would know that the movie makers of such movies do dive deep and research a lot about the topic that they are presenting. A jury is expected to do the same (may be at varying degrees). I find it challenging that American jury/audience at the academy is expecting more of a spoon feed of sorts. Of course watching all the films is time consuming and hence, if it doesn't happen already, the academy should have subject matter experts led groups for the kind of movies to help individuals understand the message or the intricacies in the art. It is not a movie's job to educate while depicting a story but just tell the story with the utmost honesty. This in no means is a negative critique on the academy but a possible way of improving the process. Hopefully, this makes sense and I haven't just blurted something super illogical. Keep up the most amazing work that you guys are doing. We look up to you with great expectations and you always exceed it and set the bar high for yourself. :)

After gully boy was snubbed from the Oscars I guess I saw a vdo from film companion where they listed the top films of all time and gully boy was one of them..I was amazed at that..gully boy wasn't even the best film of 2019😂😂 how can you include it in the best films of all time..just showed that they had to do these things and give gully boy all the awards just to prove that their decision of sending it to oscars was right..gully boy is only a decent film..nothing to go Gaga abt it..so overrated it is..it's high time we send good films and there are films made every year here which are worthy of Oscar nominations..sending gully boy was a joke.. absolutely disastrous

The topmost film authority of India is the worst thing that can happen to Indian film industry. It is so much polluted that even the prestigious national awards are given to the likes of propoganda films which please the government. True artists are ignored and a specific bunch of people are hailed in the process. Otherwise there is no justification for ignoring films like Jallikkattu and Kumbalanghi nites and settling for crap movies. And the most important thing is that there is no point in expecting a positive change( atleast in the next successive years). #we viewers deserve better......

Series when?? Any show will do!! But please come on🙏🏻

We want you to react more on this type of videos

Why there is constant need or expectation of western admiration? That may be the reason why these reaction channels from Western world are getting much traffic from India and they are also exploiting same despite of least creativity.

They probably thought it was 8 miles😂😂😂😂😂 so true

You guys should watch Sonchiriya, it was best hindi film of 2019

Tumbad, Super deluxe and kumbalangi nights..Gems from Indian cinema..

Please review *_Vanaprastham_*

I love this video

Absolutely agree

India is batteling this nepotistic shit, but thanks for exploring this issue

U ULGY SAYING TO MYSELF🤣🤣🤣

To hell with this Oscar validation. We have far better actors, actresses, filmmakers, musicians and we always had.

I just watched tumbbaad yesterday😂

Super deluxe also make the strong statement towards the society in its craziest way

0:22 , The translation of your channel name is quite funny • you interpreted it for us and we have heard those words first time in life. Not saying it's wrong but we are not familiar with those words , never mind 200 years of British Raj

Also, given the diversity of our movies, the several languages and genres, movies commenting on so many Social issues; I believe that it's very disheartening to not have a legit and credible award of our own which can look through the entertainment side of award shows and appreciate the beauty and the art of film making. It would be great to see the best regional movies competing with the best of bollywood movies for that year. I think it will also help us identify the right contenders and make us wholesomely embrace India's cinema.

Hi guys I have a humble request .if you can please make a video about your top 10 indian songs which you like or listen more often or are in your playlist Just like you made top 10 indian movies not just bollywood Hope you will make this video Love india . ❤️

Please watch this movies and thank me later. My recommendations to you two (Spoiler alert 'A VERY LONG LIST') 1. Maheshinte Prathikaaram - Feel Good movie and one of the best in that category. A regional revenge story plotted in a cinematic background of beautiful Idukki and a wonderful cast to uphold the story - available on Netflix 2. Uyare - Indulging and Inspiring Drama about an acid attack victim (I like chhapaak too not a comparison on any level Uyare and Chhapaak are two different type of movie on a common theme with different narrative structure and both are good in their respective space). A Parvathy special movie with amazing cast supporting her in each and every scene of the movie. One of my favourite movie - available in Netflix 3. Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum : Can be Categorised as a Crime drama but it is much more than that & realistic in every sense (it's a slow burner kind of movie but have an awesome acting by fahadh- Suraj-Nimisha) - available in hotstar 4. Angamaly Diaries : It's an action thriller and have introduced 86 debutant actors in this movie. Technical brilliance, screenplay and a story that attached to a place in Kerala called Angamaly (It was a huge hit and was critically acclaimed). Food, culture and wild nature it's story keep you on your toes - available in Netflix 5. Traffic : It's a thriller which is inspired by a true event in Kerala (with some cinematic storytelling included for creative liberty). When a superstar's daughter needs a heart transplant, a dying journalist's parents agree to help her. But the only way to expedite the operation is by navigating a busy road amidst heavy traffic and more events/stories intertwined with it (their is a Hindi remake too if you want to watch it). - available in hotstar 6. Take Off : It's a thriller drama and it's awesome movie inspired by a true event. A Parvathy special movie with amazing supporting roles.Sameera, an Indian nurse working in Iraq, and her colleagues are held hostage by terrorists. Indian ambassador Manoj uses his wit and shrewdness to rescue them and get them out of the country alive. - available in Hotstar 7. Virus : It's pandemic disease drama and a thriller of it's own kind. (Nipah virus is a nasty disease to say the least. It is a member of the henipavirus genus of paramyxoviruses which also includes Hendra virus. The first outbreak of Nipah resulted in 265 human cases with 105 dying, a 40 percent mortality rate). A good watch for current situation in India. - available on Amazon prime video. 8. Sudani from Nigeria : It's a sports drama and the plot is - Majeed, a football manager, recruits three Nigerian footballers for his team. When Samuel, one of the players, is injured, Majeed lets him stay at his house and over time, they develop a close bond. One of a kind unique movie and Soubin Shahir's acting was top notch. - available on KZfaq movies, Google play movies and Netflix. 9. Parava : It's drama with a distinctive narrative structure. Story, character and cinematography with substance abuse a main part intertwined to it makes a must watch Shane-Soubin and Dulquer Salman (Extended Guest Appearance) with Amal Shah as Irshad aka 'Ichappi' Govind V. Pai as Haseeb put forth a realistic portrayal of the characters in Fort Kochi and characteristics of the region. Movie plot is - Irshad and Haseeb, two teenage boys from Mattanchery, share a passion for pigeon flying, a local game. Irshad soon opens up about a tragic incident that ruined many friendships in the neighbourhood. One of my favourite. Soubin in triple role as a Director, Screenplay writer and actor has done a great job. - available on hotstar. 10. Android Kunjappan Ver 5.25 : It's a Sci-fi drama movie and the plot of the movie is - Bhaskara, a conservative villager, hates the idea of his son relocating to Russia for a job. However, when his son brings a robot to care for him, he develops an unlikely bond with the machine. A Suraj and Soubin special movie and amazing performance by Suraj (a comedian in early stages of his career and now an awesome character actor). - available on Amazon prime video 11. Moothon : Moothon (transl. Elder brother, screened at the Toronto International Film Festival as The Elder One) is a 2019 Indian crime/action thriller film written and directed by Geetu Mohandas, and jointly produced by S. Vinod Kumar, Anurag Kashyap, Ajay G. Rai and Alan McAlex. Featuring a bilingual narrative in Malayalam and Hindi, the film stars Nivin Pauly, Sobhita Dhulipala, Shashank Arora, Melissa Raju Thomas,Sanjana Dipu and Roshan Mathew. Anurag Kashyap wrote the dialogues in Hindi. It's Geetu's second feature-length directorial and debut film in Malayalam. The film tells the story of a 14 year old child from Lakshadweep who comes to Mumbai in search of his elder brother. Brilliant, dark and authentic in every sense. Haven't release in any OTT platform, but when it's eventually there please watch it you won't regret it and I think Korbin will like it because of it's gruesome cinematography. 12. Jallikattu : Jallikattu premiered on 6 September 2019 at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival and received widespread critical acclaim. The film was showcased at the 24th Busan International Film Festival under the section 'A Window on Asian Cinema'. It was released in home state Kerala on 4 October 2019. Lijo Jose Pellissery received Best Director trophy at the 50th International Film Festival of India. The film won the Best Sound and Best Editing awards at the 7th Aurangabad International Film Festival on 9 February 2020. Plot : Kalan Varkey is a buffalo butcher, whom the entire village(a collection of interesting characters) relies on for fresh meat. A regular ritual of buffalo slaughter goes haywire for Kalan Varkey, when the animal breaks lose and creates havoc across the village. Fingers get pointed, the police are called in, and the entire village gets sucked into catching the errant animal. Mob mentality soon prevails. The entire village is led by adversaries Kuttachan and Anthony(who have old scores to settle) and they take the matter into their own hands. The film also focuses on subplots like the father of a bride deciding menu for next day marriage, Sophie's problematic love triangle, unemployed youth and their pathetic ennui expressed through needs for validation that becomes a burden on the community, among others. The dadaist ebb and flow of the story strikes an uneasy balance between megalomania, lewdness and absurd frenziness. Brutally honest depiction of human behavior and one of most chaotic movie I watched in a theatre 'a must watch'. Available on Amazon prime videos. If you reach here then thanks for reading and these are the movies I recommend incase you want to keep some movie in que to watch from mollywood (Malayalam Industry) on covid quarantine days☺️. Thank me later...☺️✌️

Guys you must see kaminey by Vishal Bhardwaj. It will remind you of Tarantino, but with Vishal's flavour. That was the first time when Vishal revived Shahid Kapoor's career. Available on Netflix.

Plls watch Sudani from Nigeria

One question if u guys could help me with! "If u are nominating one film (parasite) from the list of all foreign language nominated(IFF) films in the main category (Best Film), doesn't that mean it's better than those nomiated alongside it in the Int'l foreign film, then what's the point of keeping that award(IFF)?? "

Yes kumbalangi nighte one of the best film in 2019 and also deserving to oscar nominated

Please watch Aamis..!! Its a phenomenal film..

Agreed with him nd u both

The way Slumdog Millionaire(Danny Boyle at the helm helped) won at the Oscars n the fiasco of what the 'Indianised' Oscars that year was a strange, bizarre (proud yes but one has to wonder why..) experience. Yes A. R. Rahman won but not for what he was known or famous for (The singer Sukhwinder Singh who sang this song 'Jai Ho' so beautifully (the highlight of the film were the leads n this song) was never even mentioned which was heartbreaking.. Oprah goes on to invite him (Rahman Sir) in her show n makes him perform where he just sings 'Jai Ho' n everyone looks perfectly fine with that(sheesh). Resul Pookutty won for sound design ensemble which is a very proud achievement for the gentleman n our country 🙏❤️🌹But having said that, it did make people look at Indians n India differently especially when they saw the leads didn't look as pathetic or poor at the Oscars. Folks especially outside India n essentially 'Foreign' are paying attention to more Indian content especially movies from India. With both of you and youtubers like Jaby showing so much respect, admiration and support for Indian cinema and its wonderful people, maybe one day we might get people to accept the brilliance of Indian cinema(from every state n film industries) without misconceptions, prejudices or disrespect... Thank you both for doing this video.. Great one n beautiful authentic reactions🙏😊😍❤️🌹Stay safe everyone and don't risk yourselves unduly 🌹💕

Sonchiriya was such a brilliant brilliant movie! For me the best Bollywood movie last year. There were so many movies in 2019 better than Gully Boy. It's unfair!!

Really like your reactions.... plz react to Control by Arman Malik .

india should start an international film festival bigger than cannes and the oscars with room for asian/african/european/latin american cinema and eclipse both

The thing is if any movie is submitted it's gonna be a Bollywood movie for sure. There were many regional cinema which had the potential but the north Indian jury don't send these films. Infact they don't even submit good Hindi films. For eg Malayalam film vanaprastham had the potential to win the award in foreign film category. The cameraman was Renato Berta the great European cameraman. The movie had some great cinematography, characterization. As far as I know these movies should had been definitely submitted 1.iruvar(Craftwise the best film made in the country) 2.super deluxe 3.vanaprastham 4.jalikattu

Guys you should watch Sonchiriya...!!!

U should even consider telugu movie "colour photo"😊

Look at Korbin's face at 4:06 😂😂😂

Aamis is an awesome movie.... U should watch it.... Will not be disappointed by this Assamese movie for sure.

Tumbaad and Super Deluxe are awesome movies

I don't know why they don't like Tumbbad. But that's my favourite film

From Telugu Jersey deserves the oscar

You have to watch sonchiriya guys...it's a great movie

It felt like rick said......brick to introduce himself

One day India will buy an oscar too. Not a biggie.

AAMIS is Gem!

Forget other countries sending their best to Oscars.... does the Academy always choose the best or the most deserving film to award???

You should totally check out Aamis

Feeling bad for tumbad, such a masterpiece

Please make a review on the movie 'Aamis '
