S2 Ep7: Stree in high Spirits

Author: TiC Productions September 19, 2018 Duration: 36:58

Why Stree is a triumph of matching good, progressive content with wholesome entertainment - powered by brilliant dialogues and the enduring class of Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi and Aparshakti Khurana. We also discuss why Andha Dhun is the best trailer of the last decade, and the Sidharth Malhotra mystery (i.e. where is his acting?)


Every Friday, the team at TiC Productions pulls up a virtual chair to dive into the vibrant, complex world of Indian cinema on Bollywood Weekly. This isn't just a rundown of the latest releases; it's a thoughtful exploration of the stories, music, and cultural currents flowing from Mumbai's film industry and beyond. You'll hear genuine reviews that go deeper than star ratings, analyzing performances and directorial choices with a critical but appreciative eye. The conversation often expands to consider how these films reflect and shape societal conversations, from timeless family dramas to bold contemporary narratives. This podcast serves as your regular digest for everything happening on screen and behind the scenes, blending film critique with observations on visual style and artistic ambition. It’s for anyone who loves the spectacle of Bollywood but also craves a meaningful discussion about its role in global arts and culture. Tune in for a consistent, engaging mix of analysis and appreciation that treats Indian cinema with the depth it deserves.
