Episode 46: Indian Matchmaking feat. Guru from the show - Arranged marriages and the dangers of reality TV

Author: Karan Mirchandani July 24, 2020 Duration: 58:13
Yashasvi and Karan have a quick chat with Guru about his portrayal on the show, the actual process of shooting his date with Nadia and dealing with the online harassment that has come his way. We are then joined by Deep Fried Neurons to discuss our thoughts on the show, the bubble in which it exists and our thoughts on some of the characters and the way they were portrayed.

Every week, Karan Mirchandani and Yashasvi settle in for a cinematic experiment that’s equal parts cringe and celebration. Their Bad & Bollywood podcast isn’t about reviewing the latest blockbusters; instead, they deliberately dive into the archives to pull out those famously flawed, outrageously over-the-top, or simply forgotten gems from Hindi cinema’s past. The premise is simple yet endlessly entertaining: they re-watch these polarizing films to figure out what exactly makes them tick decades later. Does the melodrama that once felt so powerful now land as unintentional comedy? Do the outdated special effects add a layer of charm, or are they just bad? You’ll hear their lively debates, nostalgic reminiscing, and genuine surprise as they dissect everything from baffling plot twists to iconic musical numbers. It’s a conversation that feels like hanging out with friends who share a deep, if slightly ironic, love for this world. Each episode of this film and TV podcast becomes a shared journey, questioning whether these movies are secretly brilliant or wonderfully terrible-and often concluding they’re a unforgettable mix of both. The result is a consistently funny and insightful look at how our perceptions of art change, while the sheer entertainment value of Bollywood’s most curious offerings remains timeless.

Listen at your own peril as Karan doing a podcast on his own about a movie that rehashes and remakes so much that it barely exists as its own movie. Also short jokes are funny. Apparently.
