Awful and Awesome Ep 390 feat. Sucharita Tyagi: Homebound, Punjab 95, Smriti Irani returns as Tulsi
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing the upcoming biopic Punjab 95:
Abhinandan: Arjun Rampal is one of the most handsome men I have ever seen… but in this, he basically only had to look intense (mimics expression) and angry.
Rajyasree: No ya! It was a very restrained performance.
Sucharita: Have you seen any man look so good with a moustache? No beard, just an old-fashioned moustache.
Abhinandan: And then you guys say I am not objective while reviewing Deepika Padukone stuff.
Rajyasree: If Deepika Padukone could act like Arjun Rampal…
Sucharita: That I disagree with entirely. Deepika acts much better than Arjun Rampal.
Abhinandan: She’s the Smita Patil of the 2000s!
Sucharita: Yeh toh alag hee direction me chale gaye ho tum… Reel it in Abhinandan.
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen, Abhinandan Sekhri, and Sucharita Tyagi discuss the movies Punjab 95, Homebound, and the return of Smriti Irani as Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
