True, the man transcended into becoming something else.

Hi! When one movie’s viewership is more than the other on OTT, it clearly means more people are watching one content than the other one(at least online). I am not talking about the business made. Jaane Jaan has a far better and gripping plot(content) than Jawaan. Not saying Jawaan is a bad film, I’m saying Jaane Jaan is a better written film. Regarding Laapataa Ladies, one thing to consider is that this film with its new cast did better than a movie with a superstar(Ranbir) in it, and a director(SRV) who had a hype created from his first movie. The only factor that makes this possible has to be its story? There is no agenda here, it is clear as day that a better story/content/writing is doing better online. I have mentioned the reason why Laapataa Ladies didn’t earn big on box office later in the video. I believe a good litmus test for better content movies is OTT viewership, even more than movie theaters. Again, Animal is not a bad film but Laapataa Ladies has much more to offer than Animal, and a story very well written which in my books makes it better.

@@ReelRealReflect Animal was trending in top 10 on Netflix until very last week, and Laapata Ladies did only 0.2M more than Animal in its first month. OTT viewership does not signify anything, it only tells people have watched the mvie untill a certain threshold value 5 min or whatever. Many exclusive Adam Sandler films on netflix were highest watched in the first weekend, first week, am sure it will get more viewership than Interstellar, Inception if parallely released, so what now they have now better writting?? They have got viewership because there is no exclusivity involved. Films like Animal, Jawan, Sultan, Baahubali have reached their maximum viewership potential while playing in theaters so there will obvioulsy be decline in OTT viewership, and also the OTT viewership depends on the genre of the film. All these popular films are better enjoyed in theater with crowds around. Laapata ladies had aamir backing, which is itself very huge, and also the film had some controversy around which would have helped it to get some clicks and also on its own merit. Fighter is the highest watched than both Laapata Ladies and Animal, so fighter is a great film now?? There are too amy gatekeepers today than the original film makers.

@@ReelRealReflect Sorry Bro did you delete my reply to your response??

@@personalaccount5498 no I didn’t, I could briefly see it a while ago and now it’s not there.

But.... they didn't portray all men as demons

Hi! I believe the definition of preachy could be a bit subjective. However, the film doesn’t lose its storyline to forcefully send a message which is why it doesn’t feel preachy. I can see why it might look preachy to one, especially Manju Maai’s character but it is only because Phool’s character is naive. Sure there are men’s issues which may have not been addressed in the film but the film is about one gender’s social issues, and to show another gender’s issues along with it would have made the film lose its plot. Usually, we see male protagonists in a film and women characters are just existing. Similarly, in Laapataa Ladies the men are simply existing because it is a female protagonists story.

@@ReelRealReflect sorry just seeing the comment notification now… those films where women just exist are the masala or commercial movies with almost no subject matter. How can you only talk about the social issues or injustices done to women only. They didn’t have to go too far there were men in the movie. At least a side plot would have been sufficient. And yes, Manju Mai was preachy as anything, demonising her husband and kids and maybe that is the reason she was left alone. Now, I get it there are women who face such harsh of relationships but there are also people who could not put up with anyone in early phase of their lives and then blame everyone else for their state. And what I meant by my statement, let’s take Masaan for example. It was a perfect low budget movie showing all aspects of society and it can be brutal without seeing your gender. One cannot paint everything in one shade and then call it the solemn truth of society. PS:- People must watch a lot of true crime to get an idea that nothing is gender specific. Stop putting genders (male or female) on pedestals.

While issues not pertaining any particular gender exist, Laapataa Ladies chooses to talk specifically on issues faced by women. Also, important to note that it is set in early 2000s. Having said that, what is going on in Indian society today, I believe the day is not too far when we see a male-issue film which I believe is much needed because a man’s inner and external struggles need to be addressed as well.

Thank you 🙏🏽

Absolutely! 💯

I did watch Manjummel Boys, a gripping film! And yes, working on Kamal Hassan content, stay tuned 🙂

Deepak is my favorite character from the film. He is soft and loving towards his wife, takes a stand when required. A true example of a gentleman!

streotyping, people relates educated women to western lifestyle which is wrong but is true in terms of how are society see these people

@@muskansingh1884 but godfather movie m koi aurat short dresses m nhi thi woh bhi to 70s ki hollywood movie thi na

@@raja-jl9os because that's not an Indian movie

@@muskansingh1884 vanga ki movie m ladkiya normal kapde m hoti h koi over the top mini skirt m nhi hota h

@@raja-jl9os obviously vanga won't allow that

That’s right. I believe this is still a small win nonetheless, as explained in the end of the video.

Yeah it is good to see that people are at least acknowledging such films.

Thank you for your comment! I concur with you on this. Ranbir is a good actor but I believe he is certainly not in the league of legendary actors(not yet) for the same reasons you mentioned. There is a performance element to his craft, one can spot the “acting” in his acting. Maybe this stems from my propensity towards liking natural actors. However, he is courageous with his roles which is testimony to the fact that he is a capable actor, and has honed his skills. If he doesn’t tangle himself in his “next superstar” status, there is potential we see one of the greatest actors in the making.

@@ReelRealReflect I really like him best in roles like barfi, jagga jasoos (I watched it more than 10 times) and rocket singh. The last superstar in the actual sense is SRK and we can consider Hrithik Roshan as the last remaining superstar. But I don't think he will be the next superstar. Yes, I agree. Can you make a video and tell us about natural actors and method actors? I mean, a list of actors in Bollywood, Mollywood, and other cinema who are classified as natural and others as method actors?

@@Rose...-fd3cb Surely, I can do something on that topic. Thank you 🙏🏽

Hi! Thank you for your kind words. Regarding Pakistani drama, I have watched a couple of episodes of Zindagi Gulzar Hai here and there, and nearly all of Loose Talk(with late Moin Akhtar Saab). Thank you for the recommendation, I will try to watch it :) 🙏🏽 🙂

@@ReelRealReflect Moin akhtar and talaat hussain! Great actors. There are Noaman ijaz and Saba qamar as well. In china Tony Leung who is well known for the mood of love. Great expressive eyes! And Keep it up!

Thank you! 🙏🏽🙂

Srk is more real and expressive then other 2 khans the only thing is that his superstardom never allowed him to do something else .... that's why ashoka failed ...

Hi! Yes I am aware of it. In recent times I have become a fan of Chaitanya Tamhane’s cinema. Do you have a couple of other recommendations?

@@ReelRealReflect Sure here they are; Sairat, Fandry, Jogwa, Mulshi Pattern, Natsamrat, Gallit Gondhal Dillit Mujra, Dunyadari. Samanter(series), Shwas, Harishchandrachi Factory, Kaksparsh, Elizabeth Ekadashi, Dr. Prakash Baba Amte, Ventilator. If you finished them all feel free to ask more😁

@vivekchaturkar7467 Sairat, Fandry, Natsamrat and Harishchandrachi Factory are some of my favorites too! I will watch the others, thanks for the recommendations! 🙂

Great filmein aati sab ke paas hain.. jaise ki SRK ke pas Lagaan, Munna Bhai MBBS, 3 idiots gai thi pahle lekin usne banai nahin. Jabki Aamir ne kaafi risk le ke Lagaan banai not only as an actor balki producer.

Thank you for your kind comment 🙂🙏🏽 Surely, will do!

Thank you! Keep supporting for more 🙂🙏🏽

💯 The movie has levels.

You’re welcome! 🙏🏽

Ahead of its time! And with AR Rahman’s music it is a gem to cherish.

Dil se was a all Manisha Koirala film if you want to watch real srk film watch mnik , kabhie haan kabhie naa , swadesh amd chak de india

Thank you, I may have slightly infuriated Salman Khan’s fan club though. Salman has some strong suits but falls short compared to the other two. And of course, I didn’t include the movies explicitly but have provided B-rolls for mentions. And thank you for pointing out 1947 Earth, I didn’t know it existed. True! Aamir has struck the right balance and it is commendable to be able to do that. Also, he is the only superstar that I feel doesn’t shy away from being vulnerable in his interviews either, he cries when he has to and not worry about his “image”, which for me is above all else as well!

@@ReelRealReflect That's one of Aamir's traits that I love about him is that he never hesitates from showing his vulnerable side. On a different topic, based on the greatest actors of Indian Cinema that were discussed in your 'Who is the Best Actor in India' video, I would also request to make videos on many others in Hindi Cinema right from the earliest days like K.L Saigal, Prithviraj Kapoor, Mazhar Khan (dubbed as India's Paul Muni), Ashok Kumar, Motilal, Dilip Kumar (pioneer of method acting), Balraj Sahni, Sanjeev Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan (had to mention his name as fans from other industries don't see him as such in comparison to Mohanlal, Mammootty, and Kamal Hassan but one look at his entire body of work tells a different story), Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapur, among others. Also make on on the best actresses as well whenever you get time. From Bengali Cinema, there are many names that deserve to be on any list of 'Best Indian Actors' like Chhabi Biswas, Pahari Sanyal, Soumitra Chatterjee, Uttam Kumar, among others that are sadly relegated to the background due to the constant infighting between Bollywood and South fan bases hogging all the limelight that has been going on since time immemorial, not helped by the fact that the media doesn't hesitate in adding fuel to the fire.
