In Episode 10 of The BoM Podcast, we revisit Imtiaz Ali’s deeply personal film Tamasha (2015), starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

We’re joined by our close friend and collaborator Sachit Grover (@grobroach) — an actor, creator, and fellow NRI Bollywood buff who also balances life in the corporate world. Together, we break down why Tamasha remains one of Bollywood’s most misunderstood yet powerful films about identity, creativity, and the struggle between passion and conformity.

We explore:
🎭 Ranbir Kapoor’s layered performance as Ved — one of his most vulnerable roles
💫 Deepika Padukone’s portrayal of Tara and her role as Ved’s emotional mirror
🎶 A.R. Rahman’s unforgettable soundtrack and how it shapes the film’s emotional rhythm
🎬 How Tamasha resonates differently for NRIs and Indians raised in India
🔥 And why this film hits even harder nearly a decade later

Join us as we unpack the art, emotion, and existential brilliance of Tamasha — a movie that feels more relevant now than ever.
