Awful and Awesome Ep 316: Guns & Gulaabs, Indrani Mukerjea’s book, film propaganda
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing Indrani Mukerjea’s book, Unbroken: The Untold Story:
Abhinandan: Rajyasree is so vella that she read a book by Indrani Mukerjea!
Rajyasree: I knew it would be trash, but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt…I have a very simple formula that I follow.
Abhinandan: That ladies of leisure must read all trash? (laughs)
Rajyasree: No, that one must consume the content you wish to trash…Anyway, I have a morbid fascination with murderers and killers.
Abhinandan: I’m not surprised! (sings Bachke Rehna Re Baba.)
(Both break into laughter.)
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the series Guns & Gulaabs, Indrani Mukerjea’s book Unbroken, the controversy around Made In Heaven 2, and the ABC News documentary titled Is Bollywood becoming a propaganda tool?
PS. Abhinandan recommends a new Punjabi song this week. Don’t miss it!
