This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' Abbas and Urjita are taking a trip to the 70's to discuss a quintessential Basu Chatterji film: 'Chhoti Si Baat' from 1976 starring Amol Palekar, Vidya Sinha, Asrani and Ashok Kumar. Our guest is cinephile, author and "film historian in the making" Eshan Sharma. Topics discussed include: The 'middle of the road' cinema championed by Basu da, Amol Palekar's simpleton persona, the iconic portrayal of the city of Bombay in Chatterji's films, Asrani's screen presence, Eshan's Bombay heritage walk based on Basu Chatterji's cinema and lots of interesting cinema tid bits.
