S1 Ep83: Tumhari Sulu, Padmavati debacle, and the futility of Indian award shows

Author: TiC Productions January 10, 2018 Duration: 24:10

Ashwin Chhabria drops by for a wide-ranging chat featuring:

  • Why the simplicity of Tumhari Sulu, and Vidya Balan's sheer force of will, powers this film through despite some questionable narrative choices.

  • The farce that Indian award shows are, particularly illustrated by the Zee Cine Awards who awarded the Best Film and Best Cinematography awards to....Golmaal Again.

  • Why everyone has stopped talking about the Padmavati controversy, and why its a sorry state of affairs

  • Trailer round-up featuring Thackeray, Aiyaari, Hichki and Padman - and we're excited for them all.
