Awful and Awesome Ep 289: The Romantics, Farzi, The Elephant Whisperers
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan while discussing Shahid Kapoor’s performance in Farzi:
Rajyasree: Four long episodes of him not doing anything. It’s like Udta Punjab. His character is always the same.
Abhinandan: You know you’ve convinced me not to watch the show. I was planning to watch the rest of the show but now I’m not going to.
Rajyasree: (Laughing) No, you watch. Kahaani mein twist hai.
Abhinandan: If it’s still not picking up…
Rajyasree: It’s not. Fourth episode I stopped.
Abhinandan: OK then I reverse my plans. Sorry.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the series The Romantics and Farzi; the documentary Elephant Whisperers; and the Adani Anthem.
