EAT GHEE – Ep 1 – Part 1

READ FIRST: THIS IS A SATIRE ON INDIAN SOAP OPERAS

2 Swirlies… no, okay. 3

“No, Buddha. That’s ignorance. We also eat paneer.”

The good is pretty good, but the bad is really bad.

Talk about your slow start. But if you give it time, like past the 3/4 mark, things start to get nicely weird. There’s all kind of weird shots and camera usage. A fight. And then Jesus appears (I shit you not) and eventually, turns into Jerry, the cartoon mouse from Tom and Jerry and walks away.

It’s long. And often out of focus and the sound is pretty bad, sometimes it is hard to hear what’s being said. If you want to give it a change, skip to around the 4:50 mark. It’s loooooong. Of course, if you do that, you’ll miss the guy who speaks only in vocoder (“You sound like T-Pain or some shit”) at around 2:30. If it hadn’t been for that, I might bailed.

The music’s awesome, too. Really, the weakest parts are when they are just sitting talking – even with the excessive dolly movements. Almost unwatchable. But they hooked me enough to give the second part of Episode 1 a chance (yes, it is so long they had to split it two.) I’m told (via annotations on screen) that it pwns this one.

I’m curious to know what you guys think. Does the good stuff outweigh the bad?
