Ekta says, “There are very amazing elements of niceness and humanity which we don’t see in city life.” She adds later that it is a feelgood film despite being about such a dark topic. On Oppo drawing flak for its ads, Abinash says he wonders why Caucasian actors were chosen for the ads when the Chinese company has a huge market in India and China. Abinash then talks about El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. He says although the movie is good, the sequel was a long time coming. “There are inside references or jokes that I rarely remember,” he says, adding that the film is meant for a small audience.They also delve into the similarities in the trailers of upcoming movies, Bala and Ujda Chaman. Wondering why men are so self-conscious about their receding hairline, Abhinandan remarks, “I think it’s because deep down hair is a sign of virility. And this is why it is so deeply etched in the subconscious of men.”
