Epsiode 35: Devdas - Sadboi lines and metaphor cups

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 Do the outdated special effects add a layer of charm, or are they just bad?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.
