This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' we finally discuss our first Guru Dutt film. It's the romantic comedy 'Mr. & Mrs. '55' directed by Guru Dutt and written by Abrar Alvi. Joining Abbas for this episode is perhaps the most prolific chronicler of Hindi cinema - writer, film historian and documentary filmmaker Nasreen Munni Kabir. Topics discussed include Guru Dutt and his coterie of frequent collaborators Abrar Alvi, Johnny Walker etc., The difficult and confused gender politics of the film, Madhubala's run as the vivacious leading lady in the 50's, how the 'commerce vs. art' debate was seen by the filmmakers of the 50s, why Guru Dutt's 'tragic' films are more celebrated than a light hearted one like Mr. & Mrs. 55 and a lot more.

Abbas is alone in the host's chair this week as Urjita is touring with her solo show across India. Catch her in your city: https://in.bookmyshow.com/events/urjita-wani-live/ET00395374

This week on ‘Has It Aged Well?’ we are discussing one of Salman Khan’s most successful, meme’d, danced to and hairstyled movies - 'Tere Naam' directed by Satish Kaushik. Joining Abbas and Urjita to talk about the movie is one of our favourite guests making his second appearance: film enthusiast, screenwriter and actor Aseem Chandaver. Topics discussed include: our first memories of Tere Naam, the iconic hairstyle, is there something like a “good toxic” movie?, the evergreen music and why this film was the last bastion of a certain type of mainstream entertainer.

Tere Naam ft. Aseem Chandaver | Has It Aged Well?

This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' Abbas and Urjita are revisiting the wild big budgeted sc-fi swing that Shah Rukh Khan took in 2011 with 'Ra.One' directed by Anubhav Sinha. To talk about the film they're joined by Youtuber and film nerd Anmol Jamwal AKA Jammypants4 making his second appearance on the show. Topics discussed include: The mismatch of good VFX and poor story, why Tamil films get sci-fi/fantasy right more than Hindi cinema, the broad stereotyping and broader comedy attempts. SRK's fascination with technological advancements, why the banging music deserved a better film, and much more.
