The Awful and Awesome
Awful and Awesome Ep 203: Madam Chief Minister, The Illegal, Red Nose Day telethon
While talking about the film The Illegal:
Abhinandan: The one thing I liked about this film is that it made me think of...
Rajyasree: (laughs) That in itself is a miracle.
Abhinandan: Why are you laughing?
Rajyasree: “That it made me think.” (laughs) You get the joke?
Abhinandan: No.
Rajyasree: The film made you think, full stop.
Abhinandan: That’s the joke?
Rajyasree: That’s the joke! I’m crying with laughter. My allergies and laughter.
Abhinandan: Clearly your eyes are allergic to your bad sense of humour.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the films The Illegal and Madam Chief Minister; the 67th National Film Awards; the Red Nose Day telethon hosted by Comic Relief; commercials, and more.
