Awful and Awesome Ep 281: Qala, Wednesday, Besharam Rang
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While talking about a song from Pathaan:
Abhinandan: This is a song from Pathaan which is shot I think somewhere in Spain. There’s like an emerald green ocean and there is a Deepika Padukone...
Nainika: Who’s even prettier than the emerald green ocean which, as you know, has huge feet.
Abhinandan: Yeah. But she also has huge feet.
Nainika: Okay.
Abhinandan and Nainika burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Nainika Rathore review the films Qala and Doctor G; web series Wednesday; the song Besharam Rang from the upcoming film Pathaan; Nora Fatehi’s defamation suit against Jacqueline Fernandez; and a few commercials.
PS. While talking about Jacqueline and Norah, Abhinandan explains how he once had a chat with a spam caller from Sri Lanka.
