This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' you can hear the episode Abbas and Urjita recorded live at India Pod Day 2023. Our guest was legendary crime writer S. Hussain Zaidi and the film we discussed was Anurag Kashyap's 2006 cult classic 'Black Friday' adapted from Zaidi's first book of the same name. Topics discussed include: When Zaidi was approached for the adaptation?, the authenticity of the film, whether an adaptation affects his writing style, what it takes to be a crime journalist, how to interview criminals and get them to be vulnerable, his views on the many number of on screen adaptations that have taken place and much more.
