Ashwin Chhabria drops by for a wide-ranging chat featuring:



Why the simplicity of Tumhari Sulu, and Vidya Balan's sheer force of will, powers this film through despite some questionable narrative choices.  

The farce that Indian award shows are, particularly illustrated by the Zee Cine Awards who awarded the Best Film and Best Cinematography awards to....Golmaal Again.  

Why everyone has stopped talking about the Padmavati controversy, and why its a sorry state of affairs

Trailer round-up featuring Thackeray, Aiyaari, Hichki and Padman - and we're excited for them all.

Host Aditya Pisharody and Satyen Rao descend into the depths of Paatal Lok...and come out the other side immensely satisfied. A slick, intense, gripping crime thriller that is possibly the best show yet out of India's growing OTT boom.
