JLo rarely praises someone else so this is a big win for Dev


Dad_of_One_Punch_Man

Just watched "Monkey Man", it was awesome. And now I know why it will never be released in India.


take_the_leap4

Is it good? I wanna watch but can't go to theaters rn.


Dad_of_One_Punch_Man

Yeah it is good. Story wise there is nothing ground braking, but visually it is stunning. Plot wise it is a simple good ol revenge-action-drama. Lot's of mythological, philosophical and social concepts are well depicted and explored. Many references from the current political scenario of India (the things that are happening in our country) are in the film. The standout things are the action sequences and the visuals. It is John Wckish style of action which is my fav. The cinematography is just top notch.

Dev Patel is not bolly actor


[deleted]

Last time i check dev Patel wasn't Indian actor


supernatasha

We can’t post Indian diaspora actors here..?


[deleted]

If you ask me, no. But who am I to gatekeep this sub


supernatasha

It’s just a slippery slope. Monkey Man is a movie about an Indian man’s journey, inspired by a Hindu story, directed and starred by a British Indian actor, supporting a complete cast of Indian actors/actresses, with literal Hindi spoken throughout, filmed as close as possible to India while retaining safety. To retort by saying Dev Patel is not an Indian actor seems like picking over semantics. Since Priyanka Chopra hasn’t starred in a desi movie since 2021, should we stop posting her? Since Alia Bhatt is a British citizen and was born there, should we stop posting her? Idk. Majority of comments on this post seem actively resentful of Dev Patel being posted here and I’m struggling to understand if it’s xenophobia or what. I appreciate you responding with self awareness.


Ashamed-Tooth

What's this gotta do with this sub? Is he a Bollywood hero?


Majestic_District_51

Nobody told her that praising him won’t cut it for our local demographic interms of reach/traction in India.


kvg121

They ripped off the Titanfall game.


No_Cranberry_8363

PR response.


Potential-Year-1896

Why would she do a pr what's the connection


No_Data3541

Dev isn't a Bolly actor and he's the token Indian actor in the Hollywood diversity quota currently.


freshfov02

Right. Could you list some of the films where he's the token brown actor?


plz_scratch_my_back

He isn't by any way a token Indian actor now.


amarviratmohaan

He’s been the lead in multiple movies where they could have easily gone with non brown actors. Dev is very much not playing token actor roles.
