Beeba Boys

Great Movie!!

This movie kept showing up on my Facebook feed so today i decided to go to the theatre and watch it and I loved it. I have seen Deepa Metha's movies before and THIS isn't your typical Metha movie it is vibrant, new, and fresh. The fashion is on point and the movie is great to watch. Randeep's acting is superb he emulates the values of indo-cdns - family oriented, giving, and strong. The Beeba Boys are like One Direction you can't help but watch. There a little bit of humour, a touch of sadness, and some prevalent issues.

It is unfortunate that Canada battles the issue of gangs whether Indo-Cdn or others but this movie just puts the message out there; they exist! Deepa isn't making a documentary she is making a MOVIE. A movie that i thoroughly enjoyed and think you will too!

A solid and menacing performance by Randeep Hooda playing Jeet, and he looks good doing it. Beeba boys has genuine comedic moments that create an interesting juxtaposition with the dark business the characters are involved in; ie. A mafia boss that lives with his parents, complete with air hockey table in the basement. Deepa tries something new and doesn't glorify the violence which is a fine line when it comes to gangster movies. Some great cinematography and shot on location in Vancouver. Paul Gross was a welcome cameo appearance as was David Suzuki. The style the characters exhibit is really exceptional as well, hats off to the costume designers.

This is a very well made, very well acted movie, worth seeing.

I have to assume that the 4.9 rating is because of significant pushback from the Indo-Canadian population in the Vancouver area.

The score in NO way represents the actual quality of the movie, in terms of the movie idea and the execution of it.

There is in fact a drug and turf war in the Vancouver area, involving Indo-Canadians. That is a fact.

It is unfortunate and it upsets the local Indo-Canadian population? Naturally.

If you are not Indo-Canadian or Indian, see the movie as it is a very well made, entertaining movie.

If you are Indo-Canadian, see the movie if you can accept that it is a FICTIONAL account of actual events and not a comment on your community.

Can't believe I wasted almost 2hrs of my life watching this and what's more astounding is that I actually finished it. What's really intriguing me is anyone who rated this above 7, please in God's name Tell me the movies you rated 9 or 10 on 10!!! Pouhouhaha!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a film worth watching! Well shot, well acted and an intense wild ride! It delivers on all fronts with dark humour, killer fashion statements and raw emotion. It sheds a light on a topic that many people had no idea about. It's a journey about identity, family and brotherhood.

Beeba boys goes against the grain of Canadian films and give you an adrenaline filled journey through this indo-Canadian sub culture that exists predominantly in Vancouver.

Plus how often do you get to see South Asians kick ass in a main stream film. So thank you Deepa and the entire cast for a cinematic treat. Soon I hope that the lines between all races will be completely blurred and there will be films with people of all races not just playing stereotypes but any character imaginable. I think this film is a huge step in the right direction.
