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

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

RRR is the greatest action movie of this generation

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 1 year ago (4 children)

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 1 year ago

That’s because it is one though.

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

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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. **

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 2 points 1 year ago

Fucking awesome!

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this happens to everyone. Most people would quite literally translate how they would say something in their language to another. But in doing so, they still retain the grammar, character, syntax and words of their mother language to the foreign language they are trying to speak, which messes things up. I can kinda see it on people of foreign backgrounds when they speak English. It is amusing that I have an African colleague who says "I see you" to mean "hi". In English, saying "I see you" sounds like you are watching and suspicious of someone, but in some parts of Africa, it means you recognise the person as an individual.

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 1 year ago

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

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Die Hard anyone?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

This Indian song is a lyrical masterpiece.

He is after all, a very good bad boy.

I love silly action movies

[–] Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that what was actually said or a poor translation?
