    Hellooo lovely people of MOS. We're recording from home again this week, but we promise we'll be back to regular programming next time!This one's a bit of a heavy conversation: we talk about the recent cases of assault against women and the fear, anger and exhaustion they've left us feeling. Once again, we're asking: when will women be able to step out of their homes and feel safe? Will we see that happen in our lifetime? And how do we live with the constant worry that something could happen every time we step out?We also ask whether Mumbai is actually as safe as we keep telling ourselves it is, and talk about the things we do to protect ourselves (even though that responsibility should NOT actually be on us). We'd like to hear how you've been feeling too. Leave your thoughts in the comments, and share this episode with someone you'd want to have this conversation with.See you next week. Take care of yourselves and each other.Chaptering: 00:00 - Introduction 00:32 - Recent vacation deets & how foreigners experience India 02:30 - Why Thailand gets praise for hygiene03:42 - Talking about women's safety 05:33 - Living in Mumbai & mental health 08:03 - Sharing a scary stalking experience 11:51 - The first things we carry for safety 15:29 - How girls are taught to limit themselves for safety 17:00 - Experiences with harassment & knowing when to SOS 21:49 - A hot take & the overthinking that follows 24:25 - Men who show up in support of women 25:50 - A message for parents raising boys 28:11 - Indian reality TV & men interacting with women 31:07 - Thoughts on having male guests on the pod 31:56 - Who writes your content?

    Don't Be Shy, the new Prime Video original movie directed by Sreeti Mukerji and produced by Alia Bhatt, is a coming-of-age drama that fundamentally undercooks its characters.We discuss how the film's bloated, two-hour-plus runtime wastes the potential of its unlikable protagonist and buries meaningful character development under unnecessary musical numbers and low-stakes college fest drama. We also talk about the frustratingly dated, millennial-coded writing that relies on tired “gym bro” tropes, superficial relationships, and corporate internship aspirations.Along the way, we lament the underutilisation of Kunaal Roy Kapur's professor character, question the afterthought inclusion of chapter markers, and wonder when Bollywood will finally level up to the standard of Hollywood coming-of-age films from the 2000s, let alone the modern era.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Devika Sreekumar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

    From a viral song that took over the internet to the most in-demand music director in the country, Anirudh Ravichander's rise has been anything but ordinary. In this episode, Kakuzu, Rock Lee and Asuma break down the career of the man Tamil cinema calls its Rockstar.We go back to where it all started with "Why This Kolaveri Di" and 3, trace how a young composer became the go-to name for Vijay, Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Ajith, and look at how his sound took over pan-Indian cinema with his Bollywood entry in Jawan. Along the way we ask the bigger questions: What exactly is the Anirudh formula? Is his dominance good for Tamil film music, or is the industry leaning too hard on one sound? How much of a film's hype today comes from the album before the teaser even drops? And where does he stand in the lineage of Ilaiyaraaja, A.R. Rahman and Yuvan?Fan or critic, there's something here for you.

    Kencan Dengan Tuhan
    Edisi Hari Minggu, 27 September 2026 - Berserah dan Terus berharap padaMu

    Kencan Dengan Tuhan

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 26, 2026 7:22


    Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 27 September 2026Bacaan: "Dan ketekunan menimbulkan tahan uji dan tahan uji menimbulkan pengharapan." (Roma 5:4) Renungan: Sebuah film Bollywood bercerita tentang tiga orang mahasiswa yang menjalin persahabatan, senantiasa berusaha hadir dan saling membantu serta memotivasi di dalam setiap suka dan duka yang mereka alami. Sebuah ungkapan yang selalu menjadi andalan bagi mereka jika di antara mereka berada di dalam kesulitan hidup ialah all is well. Ungkapan tersebut memang sederhana, namun sangat berpengaruh di dalam hidup mereka masing-masing. All is well berarti semuanya baik-baik saja. Hal tersebut memang bisa dikatakan sebagai bentuk sugesti yang positif bagi mereka di dalam menghadapi persoalan atau tantangan. Tidak jarang ketika mereka masing-masing mengalami persoalan, ungkapan tersebut mendorong mereka untuk bertahan, bahkan membuat mereka menjadi lebih tenang sehingga bisa mengambil tindakan yang benar. Perasaan khawatir, kehilangan, gagal, kecewa, putus asa, dan sebagainya, adalah hal-hal yang sering kali dihadapi oleh setiap orang dalam kehidupannya. Bahkan tidak jarang juga orang itu akan menarik diri dari lingkungannya, bisa saja karena merasa malu, kecewa, takut dengan lingkungannya. Sehingga, dari situ juga dapat mengakibatkan putus harapan bagi orang tersebut. Beratnya persoalan yang dihadapi oleh seseorang akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap psikologis atau kejiwaan orang itu. Tidak jarang orang tersebut akan merasa menemukan jalan buntu di dalam permasalahannya. Pikiran dan perkataan kita dalam menghadapi setiap persoalan sangat berpengaruh bagi diri kita. Hal tersebut akan memengaruhi bagaimana sikap kita di dalam menghadapi permasalahan tersebut. "Jika engkau tawar hati pada masa kesesakan, kecillah kekuatanmu." (Ams 24:10). Di sini jelas dikatakan bahwa ketika kita tawar hati atau patah semangat dan terus terpuruk oleh keadaan tersebut, maka kita tidak akan mendapat kekuatan dan pengharapan. Mzm 37: 3-5 menjelaskan beberapa hal penting yang dapat menjadi pegangan di dalam menghadapi setiap persoalan yang ada. Kunci utamanya adalah "percaya kepada Tuhan", kemudian "diam", berarti tetap tenang dan bertahan di dalam setiap tantangan. Selanjutnya "setia" yang berarti taat di dalam melakukan apa yang menjadi kehendak Tuhan. Dan, "bergembira karena Tuhan", berarti tetap bersukacita walau bagaimanapun kondisi kita dalam menghadapi tantangan yang ada. Sukacita yang kita miliki akan menunjukkan bahwa kita tetap memiliki kepercayaan dan pengharapan di dalam Tuhan. Pengharapan yang kita miliki di dalam Tuhan akan kita terima melalui sebuah pertahanan diri kita di tengah masalah yang sedang menyerang kita. Percaya, tenang atau bertahan, taat, serta tetap bersukacita merupakan bentuk penyerahan diri kita secara total di dalam Tuhan. Kita akan melihat Tuhan bertindak di saat kita menyerahkan keberadaan kita sepenuhnya kepadaNya. Semua akan baik-baik saja karena Tuhan mampu memberikan yang terbaik bagi kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, mampukan aku untuk bertahan di dalam menghadapi setiap tantangan dan masalah yang ada, dan ajarilah aku untuk terus berharap kepada-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

Sujoy thinks Kunal Khemu's Vibe is one of Bollywood's best films of the year. Amrita appreciates Khemu's distinct comic voice but wonders whether the movie occasionally feels like a showcase for its writer, director, producer and star. Asim reviews Netflix's Lust Stories 3 and asks why four acclaimed filmmakers have delivered an anthology that feels so strangely uniform. The main review is Best of the Best, a South Asian college dance comedy starring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. The hosts discuss girlhood, female friendship, colourism, diaspora identity, cultural gatekeeping and the importance of joyful South Asian stories. Sujoy, meanwhile, remains unconvinced by the film's dancing, college rivalries and Hasan Minhaj. Also: Preity Zinta, Bollywood music rights, Kunal Khemu versus the YRF Spy Universe and Asim inventing yet another Indian celebrity.

    Hi everyone, thanks for listening. Drop a line or two about the episode! Right from its opening scene, Dhurandhar's sound is unmistakably striking.

Sujoy chose English Babu Desi Mem. Amrita would like to know why. In this episode of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast, Asim, Amrita and Sujoy revisit one of the strangest films in Shah Rukh Khan's 1990s filmography. Loosely remade from the Clark Gable and Sophia Loren film It Started in Naples, it features Shah Rukh in a triple role, Sonali Bendre as a cabaret dancer raising his nephew and a plot that appears to abandon logic almost immediately. We discuss Shah Rukh's wigs, accents and aggressively broad performance, Sonali Bendre's place in 1990s Bollywood, the film's peculiar ideas about British Indians, Sujoy's enduring love for the soundtrack and whether the voiceovers, flashbacks and abrupt ending suggest that the production simply ran out of money. Is this really one of Shah Rukh Khan's worst films? And more importantly, should Sujoy ever be allowed to choose the movie again?

    A ghost's monologue from Haider. A 400-year-old Punjabi Sufi kafi. A Coke Studio thumri and a Bollywood needle-drop, decades apart, both circling the same words. This episode of Kavinaama follows "Naina Moray" — sung by Javed Bashir and Akbar Ali — back to its source in Shah Hussain's kafi "Man Atkeya Beparwah De Naal," the same phrase behind Shamur and Sachin-Jigar's "Dil La Leya Beparwah De Naal" from the film Roohi. Kshitij and Burair trace the legend of Heer and Ranjha, why Sufi poets reach for worldly love (ishq-e-majazi) to describe love of the Divine (ishq-e-haqiqi), and what makes thumri its own distinct classical form.Shamur is actually the Italian duo (Emanuele Marascia & Sandro Murru) who first sampled this Punjabi hook back in 2004 for their track "Let the Music Play." Sachin-Jigar reused that same sample for "Dil La Leya Beparwah De Naal" in Roohi (2021) — which is why Shamur's name is attached to a 2021 Bollywood song despite being a 2000s Italian act

The film follows two Indian American best friends who compete in college Bollywood dance competitions, inspired by real circuits like Best of the Best, Legends and the Desi Dance Network. Directed by Lena Khan and starring Priyanka Kedia and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, the movie centers on friendship and whether that bond can survive competition. "It's really, really about sisterhood and their friendship," Minhaj tells Newsweek. "And will that bond last."

    When an actor opens their mouth to sing in a movie, chances are high that the voice you hear will be their own. Even in music biopics, movie stars without much singing experience regularly go to great lengths to impersonate the most beloved vocalists of our time. Why not simply play Johnny Cash or Bruce Springsteen's actual recordings, the reasons why we care about them in the first place? When the world is full of beautiful singing voices, why force Pierce Brosnan to bray his way through Mamma Mia?What you hear when an actor unhinges their jaw is a matter that Hollywood has been negotiating since the dawn of sound. So in this episode, we'll learn about the “ghost singers” of classic Hollywood musicals, find out why they went extinct, and why today's music biopics so often fudge the music. Then we leave Hollywood for Bollywood, where the rise of the celebrity “playback singer” shows what can happen when good singing is the highest priority.In this episode, you'll hear from Slate's pop music critic Jack Hamilton; musicologist Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, editor of The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical; Stephen Cole, co-author of a memoir by the ghost singer Marni Nixon; Isaac Butler, longtime Slate contributor and scholar of American acting; and Nasreen Munni Kabir, who has written several books on Hindi cinema and curates Indian films for the UK's Channel 4.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman. It was edited by Willa Paskin and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. Decoder Ring is also produced by Katie Shepherd.
