Tisca Chopra is the star of Chutney, according to Sen and Pal.

Find out what they thought of Wes Anderson’s ad for H&M, titled Come Together. Pal has much to say about Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival, which is being tipped to be an Oscar favourite. Plus, there’s the UN Women Pakistan’s ad Try To Beat Me, I Am Unbeatable. Trigger warning: the discussion on Memories of a Machine concerns the topic of child sex abuse. All this is  discussed and dissected in this episode of Awful & Awesome Entertainment Wrap.
