S1 Ep76: Bareilly ki Barfi's sweetness, Saif's acting ability, and a heartfelt plea to watch 'Newton'

Author: TiC Productions September 9, 2017 Duration: 37:44

The pod is back, and this week we celebrate the sweetness and simplicity of Bareilly ki Barfi, held aloft by acting masterclasses from Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi. We also discuss that pair's upcoming film Newton, and why it is important that we take the time to go watch it. That's part of our trailer round-up, which also features Judwaa 2 -and the astonishing lack of effort on David Dhawan's part - and Chef, as we discuss whether Saif can actually act or not.
