There is one where a guy riding a horse slides under a truck as if it's a motorcycle.

Danm it! I wish these played for me, that sounds funny as hell!

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago
[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

It is hilarious! It doesn't even go feet first, which makes it funnier!

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 4 points 11 months ago

Holy crap, it's a jerb. I thought the mexicans took all of you twenty years ago.

RRR is the greatest action movie of this generation

[-] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 11 months ago

RRR was the first Indian movie I watched and I loved it. I watched other Indian movies after that, but they pale in comparison.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Monkey Man, directed by Dev Patel, was solid. More of a John Wick movie than RRR's Rambo: The Musical. But the acting, the cinematography, and the screenplay were all on par with a top tier American film.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

That’s because it is one though.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Dev Patel is British

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Couldn't remember why I didn't watch it, it's the musical part. Not to big into musicals.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

That's more tongue-in-cheek. They've got a scene at a party that involves the protagonists engaging in a dance-off with one of the villains, which is one of the best parts of the movie. But it's maybe ten minutes in a three hour long epic. Not really a musical anymore than, say, Titanic.

[-] deus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

3 Idiots (2009). It's not an action movie like RRR but I find it just as entertaining.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I randomly watched that movie with 0 expectations and holy shit. It was cinema 11/10.

The bheem song in the whipping scene was great

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

No kidding! That movie just delivers for 3 hours straight and has one of the best twists I didn’t see coming at all. One of my favorites parts of the massive crowd fight with the cop.

For a little while now, yes.

IMDb, historically known as the Internet Movie Database,[2] is an online database of information related to films, ... IMDb began as a fan-operated movie database on the Usenet group "rec.arts.movies" in 1990, and moved to the Web in 1993. Since 1998, it has been owned and operated by IMDb.com, Inc., ** a subsidiary of Amazon. **

Please tell me you aren’t Indian.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'm not, but I've got a couple friends who clue me in to the good stuff.

Ongi adicha 1.5 ton weight ra

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 20 points 11 months ago

Honestly, to an English speaking North American with typical deficient exposure to the complexities of a lot of other cultures and languages, a lot of the English-language translations for shows and movies from other parts of the world end up coming across that way. Mostly, I just assume it's something lost in translation and totally not a big deal, of course.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Don't fuck the fuck. If you fuck the fuck fuck fucks you. I'm not the fuck, I'm the shit!

Oh simply the committee that nominates movies for Oscar is ass in India(as in corrupt) so you'll never even hear about good Indian movies through Oscars You should look at tumbbad, jigarthanda double x

[-] Mika@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

Or simply the Oscar is an advertisement company for their friends products, and not some competition.

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 16 points 11 months ago

In their defense, action movies are all pretty over the top.

Die Hard anyone?

[-] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 11 months ago
[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

There's 30 years between them. When Die Hard came out it had a building explode and a man used a hose like a bungee cord to escape. And he lived. Yeah, it was the same level of over the top - we just got used to it.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 10 points 11 months ago

idk man, look at some bollywood films from the 80s and 90s. they have an entirely different sense of physics.

This Indian song is a lyrical masterpiece.

He is after all, a very good bad boy.

[-] Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 11 months ago

From the Rules Section of the Academy Awards Wiki Page :

The film must be shown at least three times on each day of its qualifying run, with at least one of the daily showings starting between 6 pm and 10 pm local time.

later

The Best International Feature Film award does not require a U.S. release. It requires the film to be submitted as its country's official selection.

Actual rules are linked by the Wikipedia page a PDF.
