Awful and Awesome Ep 292: Sharper, Gulmohar, Women’s Day ads
While discussing Abhinandan’s appearance in Monsoon Wedding:
Rajyasree: So I watched Monsoon Wedding. The last time I watched it was when it was released.
Abhinandan: Did you pause in that scene where I’m asking for Bacardi and Coke?
Rajyasree: You’re not there.
Abhinandan: Okay, fine. I’m not there.
Rajyasree: No! On YouTube it’s very difficult to go back.
Abhinandan: So that means I’m not there.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the movies Gulmohar and Sharper; the music videos Chubby Girl and Todh; and the Women’s Day ads by Prega News and Tanishq.
