This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' we're covering our first Mani Ratnam film by dialing it back to the early 00's and discussing the multi starrer 'Yuva'. To discuss the film with Abbas and Urjita is Quizzer (Kvizzer), comedian and Mani Ratnam superfan, Kumar Varun. The trio discuss KV's experience of watching the film twice on the same day, why this is perhaps Abhishek Bachchan's best performance, the splendid screenplay and visuals which may be at odds with the film's lofty idealism, and whether it qualifies as top tier work by Mani and AR Rahman. (the answer may surprise you)KV also gives us his top 5 Mani Ratnam films and how his college days in Chennai shaped his love of cinema.You can subscribe to Kumar Varun's Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/KumarVarunOfficial/videosFollow Kumar Varun on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/randomvarun/Follow Abbas on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/abbasmomin88/Follow Abbas on twitter here: https://twitter.com/AbbasMominFollow Urjita on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/urjitawani/For more fun pop culture stuff from the IVM team subscribe to the IVM Pop feed and also check out our Youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/IVMTVpodcastYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcasts App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios
