Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! | Has It Aged Well?
24/10/2022 Duration: 01h06minPass the cushion, hide those shoes and settle down with your pet pomeranian because we are talking about a film that's all about festivities - the 1994 smash hit 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun...!' and who better to discuss it with than someone who recently went through the rigmarole of marriage? Comedian (and recently turned husband) Aakash Mehta joins Abbas and Urjita and the panel is pretty split with Urjita recounting the pleasant family memories this film gave her, Aakash getting PTSD from Tuffy the dog, and Abbas hovering somewhere in between trying to decipher the politics of the movie.

Introducing "Has It Aged Well?"
25/09/2022 Duration: 01minDon’t you just love it when you rewatch a film from your youth and want to know everything about it? Like what the themes and symbolism were, the social backdrop and conditions it was made against, and there’s nothing quite like realizing a film has aged like fine wine. On the other hand you may also find that your favourite movie characters were stalkers who didn't deserve love but some jail time, the hairstyle you copied was extremely cheesy, and the moral lessons to take away from those films were a tad bit problematic. So join comedians Abbas Momin & Urjita Wani as they dissect an old movie on every episode along with a bevy of guests and try to answer the question ‘Has It Aged Well’?You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.You can check out our website athttps://www.ivmpodcasts.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
