Awful and Awesome Ep 215: Sherni, Haseen Dillruba, Ray, Dilip Kumar
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While talking about the film Sherni:
Abhinandan: If you can solve this mystery for us and you think you’re the cat’s whiskers...and get the fangs straight. I’ve replaced facts with fangs, you know.
Rajyasree: We understood.
Abhinandan: Just explaining to you. Then you can write to us at contact@newslaundry.com and tell us: is Sher a lion or a tiger, a cheetah or a papita? And then we might give you fruit salad but it may get spoiled by the time it gets to you.
Rajyasree: Now you’ve lost five subscribers who were listening to us. They've left.
Abhinandan: They’ve left? Why? The papita is too much.
Rajyasree: You’ve crossed the line over there!
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 Sherni and Haseen Dillruba; anthology web series Ray; the works of Dilip Kumar; and various commercials.
PS: Rajyasree thought Dilip Kumar starred in Sangam. Don’t miss Abhinandan’s laughter.
