This episode features a compare-and-contrast between the Hindi and Tamil versions of Pushkar-Gayatri's Vikram Vedha, and a commentary on mass moments and stylised super slow-mos in Indian movies - do they help or hinder? Also, a discussion on Vijay Sethupathi's career trajectory in the time that has elapsed between the two versions of the movie, and the surfeit of multi-starrers in Tamil cinema. Plus, a deep-dive into Ponniyin Selvan - 1, and its place in the Mani Ratnam filmography, and a yearning for a full-length Ponniyin Selvi, largely centred around the women who dazzle in PS1 - Aishwarya Rai and Trisha Krishnan.
