Talking about the last scene in the film Army of the Dead and Huma Qureshi’s character:

Abhinandan: I’m shocked people watched this film.

Rajyasree: (Laughs) I liked it!

Abhinandan: I’m very sad that Huma did this.

Rajyasree: I was thinking of you because I know of your fondness for Huma Qureshi. Now explain this to me: they rescue her in the helicopter, then what? Where did she go? She just vanished. Last scene there’s no Huma Qureshi.

Abhinandan: She was taking a breather maybe.

Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.

This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the films Asuran and Army of the Dead; Netflix series Alma Matters; the Eurovision Song Contest 2021, and Greenpeace UK ad. They also pay tribute to three music directors – Shravan Rathod, Raamlaxman and Vanraj Bhatia.

PS: Abhinandan also talks about when he met Dave Bautista.
