Awful and Awesome Ep 240: Gehraiyaan, Rocket Boys, Super Bowl halftime show

While reviewing the series Rocket Boys:

Abhinandan: But tell me, is the music by Anu Malik?

Rajyasree: No.

Abhinandan: Oh, damn! Because if it was, then it would be directed by Pannu and music by Anu. (laughs) Anu and Pannu!

Rajyasree: This is Abhinandan’s bad habit when he doesn’t watch half of the things. He just does nonsense when I’m reviewing things.

Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.

This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the film Gehraiyaan; web series Rocket Boys; the BMW ad featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Salma Hayek; and the Super Bowl halftime show.

PS: Rajyasree says Gehraiyaan is one of the worst films she’s ever watched. Abhinandan offers a different ending to the movie.
