South Indians according to Bollywood | Parotta Act

say you're a well-meaning south indian fellow walking into a movie theater about to watch a movie like top gun maverick because you have taste and in the hallways you see this poster for a new shahrukh khan film called chennai express and you like shahrukh khan because shahrukh khan [Applause] and you think huh let me watch this instead it has chennai in it only to settle in and watch as your favorite bollywood stars get every single thing wrong about where you're from and watch your language yo

ur people and god forbid your food get annihilated by every little bit of cinematic cruelty on the biggest screen possible and once the decimation is over you lay on your back and you wonder was it just this or has it always been this way look i love bollywood okay like who doesn't want somebody here diwani in their lives okay maybe not the sad scenes okay it does a lot of sad things i get it dude okay can you just play but just like the people that you love do stupid things sometimes [Music] so

does bollywood why are we talking about this now well i was going along the spine with my life okay that is until i went on netflix saw this movie that was number one on top in india for a long time long time a cute little rom-com from hell called meenakshi sundareshwar meenakshi sundareshwar is not a [Music] you see what i mean a film about south indians where the lead actors are from delhi and mumbai and the director from rajasthan you know south india and it made everybody mad because it jus

t gets a lot of things just tonally and factually wrong for instance this guy goes to a traditional mother household and the first two things he served two hallmarks of tamil cuisine so what all is there to eat caviar spaghetti sushi pasta croissant [Music] but this movie's biggest crime are the inaccuracies it's the cringe i was married live sundar is beautiful case in point meenakshi is asking sundar why she should marry him why should we consider you and he says i'm because i'm an engineer fo

r great problem solvers fix your own movie anybody else anybody has tiger bum manta there are no characters in this movie there are south indian starter packs if it wasn't clear here she is with a wall full of rajanica here she is writing rajnigan somewhere she even credits her entire marriage to him if she was kate winslet the poster of titanic would be very different this is the worst okay she breaks into rajnigan dialogues in the middle of a restaurant ironically yep thinks my life is like wh

at's up my youtube lovelies it's sundar here with another daily vlog about south indian life let's go first thing we're going to do is get dressed in a very south indian way this is like a very classic south indian style you have to tuck in at all times anyway guys this is my house uh we live in a mansion because that's just how it is one of the great news to share with you all tonight is actually my first night and that is my very sexy wife waiting for me but you know what i'm gonna do instead

study hey you would think that last scene is us making fun of the movie but it happens [Music] let's try it cult make job interview i should prepare for this you better be joking [Music] not just that the movie is fundamentally impossible at its core level which south indian marries their kid off to an unemployed b-tech single degree graduate come on everybody knows that the minimum requirements are 2 degrees a potential green card of the us and a shortlist for the bharatnam this movie is not a

one-off thing it's a testament to a large history of bollywood filmmakers being completely oblivious to south indian culture there are certain movies from different eras that have really crystallized this ambassador let's go back to 1968 the year your grandfather was busy railing your grandmother nice segue thanks man north india's first look at a south indian character what better way to introduce audiences to south indian culture than a perverted carnatic music teacher who says things like foo

d is here they say first impression is the best impression and these guys took it very seriously [Music] and for some reason all of these guys just played by north indian it's like making a biopic about a dosa and the dosa is being played by a panipuri in a move widely banned by south indian audiences pani puri has been cast in the role of dosa dosa [Music] probably the only moment when all south indians went next we are going to 1990 with the popular film agnipa it's been 24 years since part of

release so you would expect that bollywood to learn from their mistakes right right i am [Music] he is not kidding he really is christian i am hey you have a doubt he has an entire song about it it's a deeply thought-provoking song where he talks about [Music] hey did you eat i can't believe there exists a song that makes lungi dance look like a masterpiece at least they use the real lungi it's not even a lungi it's a white skirt and this is not a song it's depression in 2012 and did not have t

his character in it is this improvement are they turning over a new leaf and not going to be so blatantly ignorant psych the producer said that the character was not included because no one else could do justice to the character it's like remaking the godfather and replacing marlon brando with some other actor as don corleone let it be known good world that they compared the godfather arguably the greatest film of all time too because no hate to mithun chakraborty he's a legend but probably boll

ywood needs to change his name too now these could possibly be forgiven for being before the internet and before we were all as connected and as aware as we all are right now right right oh [ __ ] off welcome to the 2000s the year that we realized that shahrukh khan really loves cosplaying south indians exhibit b this is shahrukh khan and rawan where he plays a south indian character called shaker subramanyam who is eating maggie with curd they think that every south indian calls everybody rasca

l including their kids i'm watching you all little rascals little rascal teenage rascal working in ibm with atlp rascal and husband rascal and wife rascal but nothing can be the mother of the mall [Music] listening to deepika this movie feels like in a pokemon battle with her accent [Music] dictionary oh man that was painful look i'm a simple guy okay if you are stereotyping just stereotype it right for example this song is called kashmir to kanye kumari why does it look like a showcase on keral

a everything the aesthetics the dance that's mohini atom that's catholically those are elephants that you can lift off from any forum is this republic day it's like somebody stole the kerala segment from the republic day parade close enough so you see this line right it's this amazing thing it's called a border oh you mean that sun is your film no okay you know what let's start from the top okay this is a map oh anyway so we were watching the lungi dance video and the lyrics seemed a little fami

liar oh according to these movies all south indians do is go to a disco and raise our lungis that's it that's all we do 24 7. this is our main agenda hey bro we're gonna go to the club you wanna come yeah sure let me just go get my loongi and we realize that's not the only similarity deepika's accent is very similar to another one that you've heard so are you telling me in 44 years since but released there has been literally no change how is this graph going up and not done and considering this

is the time when pan indian films like rlr and vikram are becoming a thing and more and more people are referring to it as the indian film industry not just bollywood and other regional movies bollywood definitely needs to put some work into how they represent south indians it's not that difficult all you need to do is realize that there are more food than idli and more languages than madrasi and you're you're starting somewhere but a basic level of research seems warranted to not piss off half

a country they're rooting for you bollywood or should i say [Music] thank you so much for watching if you like this i will be making more of these because it's fun if you want you can click the like button again no pressure you can also subscribe you know subscribe do that hey
