Awful and Awesome Ep 393: The Thursday Murder Club, Azul, chat with Dhadak 2 director
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While speaking to Shazia Iqbal:
Abhinandan: Naayakan is one of my favourite films…I didn’t have the guts to say this when I was young: Mani Ratnam in Hindi films was like Raj Kapoor. He was an overrated filmmaker. Roja, Bombay, Dil Se…
Rajyasree: No, but they’re all lovely films
Abhinandan: I can tell you 10 better films that were made in those few years.
Shazia: You’re going to get lynched for calling Mani Ratnam overrated!
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri review the movie The Thursday Murder Club, the music video of Guru Randhawa’s Azul, and a new Rado ad featuring Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan. We also have a special interview with the director and co-writer of Dhadak 2, Shazia Iqbal.
