Don't Call It Bollywood

Every week, Margaret Redlich and her friend Dina make a trip to the cinema, united by their shared passion for the vibrant world of Indian film. The agreement ends there. Don't Call It Bollywood captures their immediate, unfiltered reactions as they dissect what they just watched, turning the car ride home into a spirited debate. You’ll hear two dedicated fans grapple with everything from blockbuster hits to smaller gems, questioning narratives, performances, and the very definition of a "good" film. Margaret, a long-time enthusiast, brings a deep historical context, while Dina offers a sharp, contrasting perspective, making each conversation genuinely unpredictable. This isn't a formal review show but a raw, often funny, and always thoughtful dialogue that digs into the heart of cinematic storytelling. The podcast thrives on that authentic clash of opinions, celebrating the complexity of an industry too often simplified. For anyone curious about the discussions that happen after the credits roll, this series offers a front-row seat to a friendship tested by art. Margaret also extends the conversation on her blog, but the core of the experience is right here in these weekly recordings.
