Episode 72 of WIT Talks is here - and this time, it’s hot, spicy, and just a little reheated (because we waited for facts, not just clout). Aneez M Latheef, Rinshad Kuruniyan, John Joe, and Deepak Mohan dive into the Empuraan controversy - was it a brilliant marketing masterstroke after lukewarm reviews? Or was there real pressure from higher powers and central agencies?The boys pull no punches as they go from movie debates to Kerala’s cultural core, sprinkle in some Indian political history, and call out the divide and rule tactics used by power-hungry puppeteers. And in the middle of all this? Jokes, punchlines, and the occasional existential crisis.Oh, and a humble request: please be tolerant of our intolerance about intolerance. We're not a news channel, just four grownups with mics and WiFi trying to make sense of the madness.Watch. Laugh. Think. Repeat.In Bengaluru on May 3, Saturday?
