Awful and Awesome Ep 273: Chup, Ponniyin Selvan, Natchathiram Nagargiradhu
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While reviewing the film Chup:
Abbas: If you’re making a film like this, do not show me frames from some of the most amazing classic films made in Hindi cinema.
Abhinandan: Kaagaz Ke Phool type.
Abbas: Because now I just want to get up from my seat and go watch those films.
Abhinandan and Abbas burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Abbas Momin review the film Chup: Revenge of the Artist; Tamil films Ponniyin Selvan: I and Natchathiram Nagargiradhu; the trailers of Bros and Adipurush and the controversies surrounding them; and a few commercials.
