In this episode of the podcast we talk about Ramesh Sippy's iconic film Sholay. It was a throughly enjoyable experience conversing about this film as it is an extremely special film for us and it keeps aging brilliantly even fifty years after it's release.

It is also a film which has given Hindi film fans some of the most unforgettable characters and dialogues. Amjad Khan's avatar of Gabbar Singh is easily one of the most memorable and impactful characters written in Hindi cinema. On that note there is no purpose to create more show notes as it's Sholay we are trying to explain! Please download and dive right in! After that we will take stock - Kitne aadmi the!

In the latest episode we talk about Shekhar Kapoor's 1983 classic Masoom. This was his debut film and he has delivered a timeless masterpiece. The central figures in the film are Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi and a young Jugal Hansraj.

Masoom evokes the same emotion and introspection on every rewatch. Both Saahil and Saqib feel it is only natural to discuss this film with some deserved tight scrutiny in the most respectful way, because the stakes are always high when we talk about Masoom and its performances.

We have started creating episodes again! Our first episode after this hiatus focusses on one of our favorite larger than life filmi characters - Vijay Deenanath Chauhan! Mukul Anand's 1990 crime revenge saga - Agneepath, marked the return of Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay and this character takes us down the memory lane of similar characters from his glorious past. Saahil is convinced that this character of VDC has risen from the ashes of Vijay Verma of Deewar - or is loosely inspired by it. We are excited to share this recording with you. Please tune in and relive the last leg of this "Angry young man" installment of the great performer that is Bachchan.
