S2 Ep1: Veere Di Wedding, Bhavesh Joshi and the biggest beneficiary of Race 3

Author: TiC Productions June 13, 2018 Duration: 43:45

DISCLAIMER: This episode contains SPOILERS! But it's still worth listening to because if you haven't seen these films yet, you aren't going to watch them.

Part 0 (0:00) - Welcome to Season 2!

Part 1 (3:10) - Why Veere di Wedding is a terrible film, despite all the plaudits and success it's been receiving. While its unabashedly female-first approach to storytelling is great, it is let down by the lack of any actual story to tell and sub-par acting performances.

Part 2 (18:09) - Bhavesh Joshi had all the makings of being a good film and a true DC Comics-style 'origin story', but eventually fell short. We also discuss what makes a superhero, and the importance of editing in a film.

Part 3 (37:12) Trailer round-up featuring Sanju, Race 3 and 5 Weddings in India. Plus, we discuss who benefits the most from Race 3 - spolier alert: it's not the audience.
