Vigilantism cannot be done irl. It is illegal. However, it makes for great films and shows like V for Vendetta or the Daredevil series. Those are much better than Jawan and are actually artistic in their making. You don't see them also changing. Films only change your thoughts, they don't make you wanna do drastically different things. And my point stands. Rick only knows how to rant, not criticise. I dislike Animal, but I know what it means for Hindi cinema. It's gonna help A-rated films to get more budgets and pass through the censors, because Hindi is always attacked the hardest by censors.

2024-10-30 21:13:28 +0000 UTCAll 'audiences' love storytelling - it's in our DNA. But the coastal audiences are more open to all kinds of stories - landlocked ones not so much (no surprises there). A lot of Hindi audiences belong to the latter category. Can't change geography and its influence in a short span of time. No one is to be blamed, really. "Geography is destiny" A bit like how blue states (more coastal) and red states are distributed across the US. And also a bit like the Rick (close-minded) vs. Korbin (open-minded) debate? lol Also, Pathaan and Jawan are what you would classify as "culturally significant" films given the socio-political context. They're not creative films. Theaters were full for both films in the UK, not sure about the US. However, SRK wants to win at all costs - he's just built that way :-)

2024-10-30 20:37:22 +0000 UTCAgreed. That man and Jawan/Pathan probably had a lot to do with why India didn't (irreversibly, mind you) become another China or Russia. Oh, the sacred constitution!
Par
2024-10-30 20:35:48 +0000 UTCAgree with both of you 100% . Hindi films are my least watched language films at this point

2024-10-30 20:12:52 +0000 UTCYou are contradicting yourself.. please look at your comment i answered on.. Exactly my point na.. movie made to entertain taking social issues and hurrying through them , stylising it, and showing a masiha resolving it all... corrupt and capitalist
Reva
2024-10-30 18:35:22 +0000 UTCEven I feel same, he is very good at manipulation that people are not realising and following him blindly.
adahhh
2024-10-30 18:01:23 +0000 UTCReva people had fun watching the film. Why do you think that every film should have a moral responsibility to change something? There are different kinds of films so. Social films, entertaining films etc
Namra Hasan
2024-10-30 17:26:36 +0000 UTCThe social issues shown in a stylized way, with one man army becoming their Masiha is an old concept.. its corrupt in nature and made in a way to only make money.. no one went out to reform the society after watching Jawan. It was more about how cool SRK looked doing those stunts.. Rick is not wrong in questioning that format..
Reva
2024-10-30 17:12:55 +0000 UTCThis is exactly the problem. The audience. There is absolutely no doubt that there are filmmakers in Hindi who can create cinema of the same level as anyone else in the world. But good cinema is mostly not supported or well received. Trashy mass movies make hundreds of crores. Don’t blame the industry. You get what you ask for.

2024-10-30 16:58:22 +0000 UTCDid he cry? I must have missed this. But I do think Rick does not know how to criticise. It is a skill to not like a movie and still make a review that is not a rant. Also, if there are noteworthy things, one must acknowledge them. Jawan is not the best film ever, but it did some things which helped the industry in terms of trends and style.
Yuvraj Haldankar
2024-10-30 15:27:46 +0000 UTCHe also doesn't even live in India, but talks as if he's well versed with what is happening in the rooted areas. Also, he's incredibly biased. I don't care what political belief you have, you must make videos with no biases.
Yuvraj Haldankar
2024-10-30 15:25:37 +0000 UTCJawan was a monster success... The video is misleading
AJk21
2024-10-30 14:32:19 +0000 UTCI just get really annoyed by videos like this... Ppl who make these long video think pieces with click bait titles always seem to think they are saying something profound, when 99% of the time they are not.

2024-10-30 13:35:46 +0000 UTCThere is nothing wrong about it. My point is that studios should also hire young writers and creative on the same age to improve brainstorming and analyses. I actually think you need business people because it is still called a film business. Mid-budget and indie films are the artistic expression, but blockbusters are the lifeblood. Without them studios will eventually lose money to make more artistic ventures. Both types of films are important.

2024-10-30 10:50:09 +0000 UTCdude don’t even get me started with that Jawan fiasco. I have 0 issues with Rick not liking the film, it’s the way that he went about it that really pissed me off. He literally was crying on instagram live because as he was ranting about Jawans BO collections people were telling him to calm down. And he was carefully selecting bad reviews of Jawan and posting them to his story, as if that proves anything…

2024-10-30 06:38:06 +0000 UTCCorporatization is to blame! Rathee's videos are youtube equivalent of masala movies😂
Nitin Jain
2024-10-30 05:38:29 +0000 UTCNone of these analysis blame the audience. As a South Indian who grew up in Mumbai and Delhi who consumes Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi and Bengali cinema I squarely blame the Hindi film audience. They are so narrow in their preferences they won’t let their stars do anything else other than what fits their definition of what a “hero” is and that narrow definition is what dictates studios and consequently scripts. It’s the audience. Not the industry.

2024-10-30 04:38:28 +0000 UTCWhat is working is laying the groundwork for what to do next ..
Reva
2024-10-30 04:13:30 +0000 UTCRick is truly a stupid baby. Everything went right above his head. YET AGAIN! lol 😂 Love you Rick.
Ajay Khatri
2024-10-30 04:08:52 +0000 UTCThats the reason Korbin.. watch Panchayat.. independent production house made by people who were OG OTT.. TVF.. who broke the mold .. And made the best series in years to come out of Hindi language .. Panchayat..
Reva
2024-10-30 02:16:26 +0000 UTCAudience is the problem .. Learned educated audience .. They dont want to see their actors age.. They still want 50+ year olds chasing girls half their age .. So obsessed by stars and actors personal lives on Insta, that thats the bigger attraction than the actual movie or work they do..
Reva
2024-10-30 02:09:31 +0000 UTCJust a correction, SRK produces most of his films, so he doesn’t charge fees. If he isn’t producing, he takes a % from the movies box office collection.

2024-10-30 00:36:26 +0000 UTCIf someone puts in hard work gets a degree and wants to live a good life with a good career, nothing wrong about it.
Namra Hasan
2024-10-30 00:16:18 +0000 UTCI would like to say. They're not all privileged. A lot of them are just making careers and earning money. As an MBA myself, I have to support the honest batch here at least. On your first point, we need to have young writers be part fo these studio groups as a creative mind that can help the business mind where they can't suffice. This way they can also have employment when they are not writing films. It'll be a stable income while still contributing to the film industry.
Yuvraj Haldankar
2024-10-30 00:05:43 +0000 UTCAlso, the reason Salim Javed made such impactful films was because they themselves were every day men frustrated with the system and wanted to talk about it. What are the 24 year old privileged hires frustrated about? It is too sanitized
Maida Mudassar
2024-10-30 00:01:49 +0000 UTCRick thought it was not presented with storytelling and was preachy. I agree the ending speech was preachy, but I compare Jawan to the older Shankar films. Message with mass.
Yuvraj Haldankar
2024-10-30 00:01:15 +0000 UTCRick, as always, is frustrating. Both Jawan and Pathan made 400 crores each overseas so what is he talking about with “no one outside of Indian liked Jawan”. And again, just because he didn’t like it doesn’t mean Jawan is a bad film. It’s a very brave film for a Muslim superstar to do in the Modi right wing hateful era. Same with the corporate bookings: so much of it is made up from right wing supporters that I can’t take their claims seriously anymore. The point about story driven movies is absolutely correct. There should always be a push to hire better writers, that’s the only way to grow
Maida Mudassar
2024-10-30 00:00:10 +0000 UTCI didn't understand Rick's reaction or the review of Jawan. Doesn't he realize that the issues in Jawan are still very real in India?
Namra Hasan
2024-10-29 23:55:56 +0000 UTCI think companies could realise that maybe, their profits might be even higher if they elevate the overall portfolio of the films they release. Hence my recommendation of have young creatives (film graduates with a focus on writing and direction) help the business and analytical minds. We guys do know that what we recommend isn't what we want, but it's what will let me run my house and pay my bills. I work in agriculture and I have made reports with conclusions I personally don't wanna make, but it is the truth and it's what pays my bills.
Yuvraj Haldankar
2024-10-29 23:51:57 +0000 UTCI don’t think the video blamed the mba holders. they have been hired by the studios to do exactly what they are good at. Unfortunately the intention is only how much money can be made.
Argha Sen
2024-10-29 23:37:14 +0000 UTCAlso bleeped out Bhenchod when they play it in the trailer 🤦🏽
Chris Dhillon
2024-10-29 23:31:49 +0000 UTCThey bleeped bitch. But they didn't bleep bimbo. I don't want the bleeps anyway, but how does it make sense. Imagine a kid watches the film and asks his mom or dad "What's a bimbo?" I'd much rather explain them what bitch is (female dog) than the other word. That said, censorship is bad.
Yuvraj Haldankar
2024-10-29 23:30:01 +0000 UTCI don't think MBA degree holders should be blamed. They are hired based on their analytical skills and have a slight passion for the film business. I myself am an MBA in my 20s. I think what should be done is add a creative mind who is also as young as them to their team. To improve the brainstorming to create a good blend of commercial and creativity.
Yuvraj Haldankar
2024-10-29 23:27:45 +0000 UTCI think censorship has already come to OTT because Akshays new movie Khel Khel Mein had a few words bleeped out but in the cinema it wasn’t
Chris Dhillon
2024-10-29 23:24:13 +0000 UTCYou hit the bull’s eye. It was frustrating to see him reach conclusions without even listening to all the factual information. His views on mostly everything has started to make 0 sense to me as he seems so full of himself and his opinions all the time. He barely gives himself a chance to hear anything that challenges his opinions & beliefs in the slightest, which is both sad & annoying.

2024-10-29 23:19:39 +0000 UTCDhruv Rathee talks a lot of good stuff, and a lot of stuff that is very much aligned with his own idealogical and political beliefs. Not gonna go there, but there's a reason he put the hate on the young MBAs who are just doing their jobs to earn money, feed their family and make careers. They're not doing anything wrong, they just analyse what is working in the film business. What should be done is studios should add young creatives alongside the MBAs to improve the brainstorming. So there is a mix of commercial and creative thoughts.
Yuvraj Haldankar
2024-10-29 23:06:57 +0000 UTCRick's holier-than-thou attitude is very offputting. I like Korbin's views much more - he is open minded, understands the multiple aspects of a film and is very forthcoming that a certain movie didn't work for him because of xyz reason. And open to accepting that others have loved the film. Rick pointedly rolling his eyes in this video when Jawan's portrayal of social issues were being complimented is a perfect example of him having a stubborn, closed mind.
Sid Bhatnagar
2024-10-29 23:01:01 +0000 UTCRick calling out corporate booking was unexpected lol
Trece
2024-10-29 22:55:23 +0000 UTCIt seems Rick sometimes speaks negatively for the sake of it, may be for engagement or that’s how he is. In the video Dhruv clearly mentions the producers are greedy hence they pay whatever the stars are asking for. Also “demonising young corporates” as in an mba degree holder is more qualified than a veteran writer in the writing room! What?
Argha Sen
2024-10-29 22:52:05 +0000 UTC+1
Divya
2024-10-29 22:50:10 +0000 UTCAlso most small budget films don't get the hype for you & Rick to watch them Korbin. Few lucky films like Laapata Ladies gets the hype, but most don't. But I hope you start watching new ott releases like "MAHARAJ"; "HASEEN DILRUBA", "KHO GAYE HUM KAHAN", "KHEL KHEL MEIN", "VEDAA", "CHOR NIKAL KE BHAGA", "CHANDU CHAMPION", "TERI BAATON MAIN AISA ULJHA JIYA", "JUG JUGG JEEYO", "TU JHOOTI MAIN MAKKAR", "SATYAPREM KI KATHA", "CTRL" etc ❤️ And hope you watch hindi series like "CLASS" on Netflix
Jen
2024-10-29 22:42:20 +0000 UTCYou should watch more stuff from Dhruv.
