Greg Jenner is joined in early modern India by historian Dr Jagjeet Lally and comedian Nish Kumar to learn all about the subcontinent's dynamic eighteenth century. From the sixteenth century, the dominant power in India was the Mughal Empire. According to the traditional narrative, when the Mughals began to decline in the eighteenth century, the subcontinent descended into political chaos, and European trading powers – most notably the British East India Company – swooped in to take advantage and (in their words) restore order. But can we trust this story? In this episode, we look at India's long eighteenth century not as a period of chaos, but one of dynamic transformation and exciting developments. Taking in the rise of new powers including the Marathas, the Rajputs and the Sikh Empire, and looking at changes in the economy, global trade, artistic patronage and gender relations, we explore what India was really like at this time. If you're a fan of the history of globalisation, the connections between politics, economics and social relations, and debunking historical myths, you'll love our episode on the long eighteenth century in India. If you want to know more about the history of India, check out our episodes on the Mughals and Bollywood. And for more eighteenth-century history, there's our episode on Black Georgian England. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

Der Film aus Asien hat schon lange seine Liebhaber. Egal ob Karate- und Kampfsport, Bollywood oder Anime, der Unterhaltunsfaktor war schon immer hoch. Aber immer vermeintlich eher etwas nieschig, nichts für die breitere Masse. Fürs große Kino gibts ja Hollwood. Doch sobald man mal anfängt mehr in Richtung Festivals und Kritiker-Stimmen zu hören findet man immer mehr auch Filme und Filmemacher, die es mehr als in sich haben. Egal ob Park Chan-wook oder Bong Joon Ho, um bei den großen Namen zu bleiben, bieten den Einstieg in eine andere Kultur, eine andere Sprache und andere Ansätze Geschichten zu erzählen. Wenn man viele Filme schaut spürt man sehr, wie erfrischend Filme aus anderen Kulturkreisen sind. Was uns von dem asiatischen Film überzeugt hat und was wir grundsätzlich darüber denken erzählen wir euch in unser ersten (eigentlich zweiten) Video-Episode :)#movies #cinema #kino #filmtipps

This is a bonus audio version of our Youtube Spoiler Review of Param Sundari Follow, like and subscribe to ⁠our Youtube Channel ⁠for more videos from the Khandaan crew You can also support us and interact with us by joining our PATREON community on: https:///www.patreon.com/khandaanpodcast This week, the Khandaan Podcast takes on Param Sundari, a film that promised a breezy rom-com but left audiences scratching their heads. Starring Janhvi Kapoor as the titular Sundari and Sidharth Malhotra as the clueless “investor” Param, the movie combines poor writing, botched cultural representation, and inexplicable creative choices — like coconut tree confessions and Tamil Nadu boats showing up in Kerala. Amrita unpacks why the portrayal of Malayalis is not just lazy but offensively bad, pointing out how none of the cast seemed to have received even basic language coaching. Asim reads out savage Letterboxd reviews and admits the movie makes nobody look good — Punjabis, Malayalis, or otherwise. Yet both hosts find surprising moments of charm: Janhvi's sweetness in songs, her occasional Sridevi-esque mannerisms, and Sidharth's hotness (if not much else). They also debate the bigger picture: Bollywood's ongoing struggle with authenticity, the lack of genuine rom-coms, and why films like this end up being more “streaming filler” than theatrical event. Still, in a world of War 2 and endless action clones, Asim controversially admits he'd rather watch Param Sundari again than some of Bollywood's recent blockbusters. Funny, sharp, and slightly irreverent, this is Khandaan at its best — spending more time thinking about a film than its creators ever did. #ParamSundari #JanhviKapoor #SidharthMalhotra #BollywoodPodcast #BollywoodReview #BollywoodFans #KhandaanPodcast #HindiCinema #IndianCinema #BollywoodHotTake #BollywoodDiscussion Follow us on our socials:   / khandaanpodcast    / khandaanpodcast    / khandaanpodcast   Visit our merch store at REDBUBBLE: https://www.redbubble.com/people/khan...

We welcome two brilliant debut novelists to Book Off this week, who go head to head in a war of the words...Xenobe Purvis and Gurnaik Johal have both recently published their first novels - and they are both brilliant! Hear them discuss their inspirations, writing and research techniques. how to choose a good title and why reading slowly is good. In a Book Off first - Gurnaik pitches a book he hasn't even finished yet! And there are some great recommendations all round. THE BOOK OFF 'The Portrait Of A Lady' by Henry James VS'Lonesome Dove' by Larry McMurtry And here's a little more about our guests' books:The Hounding by Xenobe Purvis Many stories are told about the five Mansfield sisters. They are haughty, thinking themselves better than their neighbours in the picturesque village of Little Nettlebed. They have taken the death of their grandmother hard. They are liars, troublemakers, untamed and dangerous... Accounts of their behaviour differ, but the villagers all agree that the girls are odd.One long summer, a heatwave descends. Bloated sea creatures wash up along the parched riverbed, animals grow frenzied, ravens gather on the roofs of those about to die. As the stifling heat grips the village, so does a strange rumour: the Mansfield sisters have been seen transforming into a pack of dogs.With the witch trials only a recent memory, hysteria sets in. Slowly but surely, the villagers become convinced that something strange is taking root in Little Nettlebed. And when a bark finally leads to a bite, the sisters will be the ones to pay for it.Visceral and richly atmospheric, The Hounding plunges its reader into 18th century Oxfordshire, where the power of a man's word is absolute, and it is safer to be a wild animal than an unconventional young woman.'Saraswadi' by Gurnaik Johal Centuries ago, the holy river Saraswati flowed through what is now Punjab. Many dismiss this as myth, but when Satnam arrives in his ancestral village for his grandmother's funeral, he finds water in the dried-up well behind her house. The discovery sets in motion a contentious scheme to unearth the lost river as an act of Hindu nationalist pride.The river changes the course of Satnam's life, and those of six others. As legends and histories resurface, the distant relatives - from a Canadian eco-saboteur to a Mauritian pest exterminator to a Bollywood stunt double - are brought together in a rapidly changing India. Ambitious, moving and brimming with folklore, Saraswati is a tour de force from one of Britain's most feted young writers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we have stand up comedian Subas Sharma! We talk soccer, roast battles, Bollywood, & a lot of other things that a weird.

Devin & James are back in the Den to celebrate the 50th anniversary of some fantastic and influential films coming from Asia in 1975! We start with one of our favorite monsters in the Kaiju classic THE TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA! We then take to the streets with Kinji Kukasaku's brutal yakuza tale COPS VS. THUGS. Then things get more kung fu classical in the origin story of one of cinema's coolest weapons, THE FLYING GUILLOTINE. After that, we hop on THE BULLET TRAIN (No, not the Brad Pitt one. The Sonny Chiba one!). Our cinematic traveling continues down under with the Australian/Chines co-production, THE MAN FROM HONG KONG. From there, we go completely off the rails with the cinematic cotton candy that is SUPER INFRAMAN. Finally, we get a taste of horror (and some other things we'd rather not mention here) in BLACK MAGIC. All of these films are from Japan or China, but we make sure to check in on the rest of the continent with shout-outs to YEONG-JA'S HEYDAYS out of Korea, THE RARE BLUE APES OF CANNIBAL ISLE from Malaysia, the Bollywood classic SHOLAY, and DERSU UZALA, the Academy Award-winning Russian film directed by Akira Kurosawa!

The big fat 'fake' Indian wedding is social media's latest party trend. Fake wedding parties have taken the world and social media by storm with people getting together to enjoy all the fun of a wedding party: the food, Bollywood music, dancing and glamorous outfits. But there aren't any of the rules on how to dress or act and none of the nagging questions from nosey relatives.We speak to Devina Gupta, a BBC journalist in Delhi, about how these fake parties are contributing to India's $130bn wedding industry, and how venues are optimising the trend to make up for lost profits in the quiet season. We get all the goss on Dubai's very own fake wedding party from pals Tanisha Dhawan, Laveena Barathi and Mihika Asrani who attended. Plus, they tell us whether they're ready to splash the cash on a big fat wedding of their own.Thumbnail credit: ThirdPlaceInstagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Abiona Boja and Mora Morrison Video Journalist: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Verity Wilde

Patreon Bonus this week: Amrita's 5 min catch ups with fun and gossip that are full episodes here (on the Free Tier) Asim's July LetterBxd Video We're also active on Tik Tok so follow us here We're back with another entry in our 80s Dhamaka series—this time diving headfirst into Chaalbaaz, the iconic 1989 double-role masala starring Sridevi, Sridevi… and also Sridevi. Joined by Rajnikanth, Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher, Rohini Hattangady and Shakti Kapoor at his absolute creepiest, Chaalbaaz is a slapstick remix of Seeta Aur Geeta, and a showcase of Sridevi's unmatched star power. In this episode, we talk about: Rewatching this classic on VHS and Z Cinema loops How Sridevi steamrolled two massy heroes without even blinking The Bollywood obsession with twin/double roles and what it says about acting in the 80s Sujoy's VHS-core memories, Amrita's cosplay confessions, and Asim's righteous rage at some VERY male-gazey direction choices Whether Chaalbaaz holds up in 2025—and how it compares to other twin films like Judwaa, Kishen Kanhaiya, and Dushman This was a fun one with some deep dives into nostalgia, film tropes, and that uncomfortable undertone of male-written “masala feminism.” This is the penultimate episode in our 80s mini-series before we close out with Mr. India. Next up: Chashme Buddoor!

“That which unites us is far greater than what divides us.” The first four words of this sentence are subtitle, and subtext, for “Path of Liberty,” an immersive outdoor photo and media experience on view through fall 2025 at Freedom Plaza on Manhattan's east side. The creative groundwork for this project was a mammoth effort involving an extensive crew both on the road and behind the scenes. In today's podcast, we catch up with two principals of this project's creative team—creative director Daniella Vale and director of photography, Scott Beardslee—to learn more about their daily lives during two months spent traversing the country by van to interview a broad group of everyday Americans. From the founding idea of capturing the diversity of people across America to the curiosity and resilience of the crew when working on the road to the complexities of orchestrating the many sensory elements for an immersive experience in exhibition, our discussion is rich with creative insight. As Daniella shares during our chat, “I always tend to make three films. There's the film I write, the film I shoot, and then, usually, I rearrange everything and make a totally different film in the edit. So, I've gotten pretty accustomed to non-attachment and rolling with things. That's where the magic happens too.” Guests: Daniella Vale & Scott Beardslee   Episode Timeline: 3:28: The inspiration behind Path of Liberty and Daniella's role as creative lead. 6:59: Daniella and Scott's respective backgrounds in photography and film, plus being curious and distinctions between finding the moment vs creating the moment. 12:02: Daniella and Scott's first introduction in the New York film world. 15:14: Building the crew for Path of Liberty and the challenges of traveling and conducting interviews on the road. 21:35: Daniella describes the three films she makes in the process of writing, shooting, and editing, plus the importance of learning to adapt on the fly. 26:54: Memorable stories from the Path of Liberty road trip. 30:56: Episode Break 31:30: We all want to be happy, but there's a difference between freedom and taking advantage of freedom 34:42: Daniella discusses her time in Japan, and the cultural contrast between American individualism and societies that put the group over the individual self. 41:00: The gear Daniella and Scott traveled with and how it affected the project. 47:59: The interview process with portrait subjects, plus making natural portraits in the moment. 58:32: The Path of Liberty installation in midtown Manhattan, the pride of subjects gathered from across the America, plus the complexities of the post-production process 1:05:39: The immersive aspects of the installation—from the sound design of the audio to the visual continuity between the photographs and the on-site terrain. 1:14:19: Scott and Daniella offer career advice for developing as a creative—leave room for being curious.   Guest Bios: Daniella Vale is a New York City-based photographer, film director, and producer. Her creative passions began early, influenced by her uncles in Pittsburgh's avant-garde film movement. While attending university in Tokyo, Daniella worked on photography and documentary projects. She later moved to Bollywood, where she collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment and Cannes-winning director Manish Jha. In New York, Daniella has worked for brands such as VICE, MTV, Google, and Prada, and with talent such as Alicia Keys, Deepak Chopra, and Lucy Liu. Her portfolio includes work in fashion, branded content, docu-series, and narrative films across various global locations. Career highlights include participating in the 2018 Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner and being featured in Allure magazine for her directing work. And of course, most recently, Daniella headed up the creative team for the immersive outdoor installation, Path of Liberty: That Which Unites Us, which we're here to talk about today. Scott Beardslee began his career in photography, working as a 1st and 2nd assistant. Yet his passion for narrative filmmaking soon inspired him to take a different career route, focusing on shooting films, commercials, and music videos. Upon graduation from San Francisco State University with a film theory and production degree, he pursued cinematography and later attended graduate school at The American Film Institute in Hollywood. Before he became serious about filmmaking himself, Scott worked as a gaffer for many established A.S.C. cinematographers. Currently, Scott is a Director of Photography in the Union Local 600, working on commercials, music videos, and television.   Stay Connected: Path of Liberty Website Instagram Daniella Vale Website Instagram Youtube Vimeo   Scott Beardslee Website Instagram Vimeo Tiktok   Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens
