With a sequel just around the corner we thought this week would be the best time to revisit the highest grossing film of all time 'Avatar' on 'Has It Aged Well?'. In the studio to discuss our first Hollywood film is film & tv critic and self-appointed Avatar fanatic Suchin Mehrotra. Also, while Urjita is away in the capital city doing shows, filling in for co-host duties is 'Pop Wrap' host Snayhil Aneja, who despite our best efforts snuck in multiple Bollywood references. Topics discussed include: Avatar's take on science vs spirituality, the cultural imprint or lack thereof of the movie, whether we learnt anything from the film's environmental message, James Cameron's track record with sequels and high anticipation, when Michelle Rodriguez had a 'moment', what we expect from the sequel(s) and more.

We're going back to 2015 to discuss Anurag Kashyap's deeply polarising work ‘Bombay Velvet’. Joining Abbas and Urjita on this venture is film critic extraordinaire Sucharita Tyagi.Is BV a misunderstood masterpiece? What makes it stand apart from other Kashyap fare? Why did this film disappoint fanboys? Why does Abbas want to keep recasting the film? Are the music and lyrics the soul of the film? And should it have been a prestige streaming miniseries rather than a film? Tune in to find out the answers to all this and more on ‘Has It Aged Well?’.Watch the video on the making of Bombay Velvet’s sets here: https://youtu.be/j8vo1b1YyLwSubscribe to Sucharita’s youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/sucharitatyagiFollow Sucharita on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/su4ita/Follow Urjita on Instagram:

The big screen saw 2 much awaited releases last month and in this episode, Antariksh and Snayhil talk about them at length. Drishyam 2, a sequel to the 2015 hit Drishyam, released on the 19th of November and has taken the box office by storm. Both the movies are a remake of South Indian movies, that go by the same name. Seeing Bollywood actively remaking movies, makes us question their dependency on South Indian cinema. The second movie that we talk about in this episode is the Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon starrer Bhediya. The movie released on the 25th of November and has been receiving mixed reviews from the public. Box Office collection has been fairly good in number but we believe it's yet to pick up pace.

This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' we're covering our first Mani Ratnam film by dialing it back to the early 00's and discussing the multi starrer 'Yuva'. To discuss the film with Abbas and Urjita is Quizzer (Kvizzer), comedian and Mani Ratnam superfan, Kumar Varun. The trio discuss KV's experience of watching the film twice on the same day, why this is perhaps Abhishek Bachchan's best performance, the splendid screenplay and visuals which may be at odds with the film's lofty idealism, and whether it qualifies as top tier work by Mani and AR Rahman. (the answer may surprise you)KV also gives us his top 5 Mani Ratnam films and how his college days in Chennai shaped his love of cinema.You can subscribe to Kumar Varun's Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/KumarVarunOfficial/videosFollow Kumar Varun on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/randomvarun/Follow Abbas on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/abbasmomin88/Follow Abbas on twitter here: https://twitter.com/AbbasMominFollow Urjita on in

Does one of the whackiest Govinda comedies of the 90s actually serve as a metaphor for crony capitalists eating up independent businesses in the 2020's? Yes, we go deep into the 'Raja Bhoj' and 'Gangu Teli' analogies while dissecting the hilarious cult classic 'Dulhe Raja'. Joining Abbas and Urjita is Aseem Chandaver, popularly known as @BabaJogeshwari from his social media handles, and though the episode is about Dulhe Raja we couldn't not have a 25 minute initial discussion about B-grade (and C-grade and D-grade) Indian cinema given Aseem's encyclopedic knowledge in the sphere. So get ready for name drops like 'Khooni Dracula', 'Bandh Darwaza', 'Veerana' and 'Haiwan'. Some other topics discussed include Kader Khan's brilliance as a script writer and performer, why Bollywood doesn't do slapstick well anymore, and why Govinda-Raveena pair > Govinda-Karishma.
