Rakhee Sandilya co-wrote and directed the engaging 2017 drama Ribbon, starring Kalki Koechlin and Sumeet Vyas. She joins us for the next installment in our series of deep dives with screenwriters/filmmakers on their favorite films. Rakhee chose Mira Nair's celebrated 2001 drama Monsoon Wedding.We tried to unpack why Monsoon Wedding was such a bold and important film, and how it was a triumph of weaving together multiple strands of narrative. Rakhee elaborated on her favorite scenes, Mira Nair's style, the wonderful casting, and the tremendous performances.  We raved about Shefali Shah, Vijay Raaz, Rajat Kapoor,  Tillotama Shome, and the endearing love story of Alice and Dubey.

There are films that touch a necessary nerve and there are those that furnish reality so elaborately that we find it too overwhelming to process. Today's Lost and Found, Rakhee Sandilya's Ribbon is one such film. Starring India's first web series star Sumeet Vyas (of Permanent Roommates fame) and Kalki Koechlin in the lead, Ribbon shows the mirror to the debilitating world we live in today. From being downsized at work to the precarious position of being a parent to an adolescent child, it's all there and it's all pretty bleak. The film revolves around a young couple grappling with job loss, the inevitable derailing of one's career following maternity, and how the lead pair manage to pull through as a couple while dealing with a major personal setback.  Ribbon apprises us of several present-day challenges in one's personal and professional life.For instance, opting for maternity leave is depicted as the easiest way to terminate one's career or at least set it back by a few years. Then, the daunting idea of not being able to protect one's child from society's predators can make any parent feel like a failure. But the overarching message that we can get by as long as we have each other's back is reassuring and offers some hope in the face of adversity. Before you add this one to your playlist, here's a disclaimer: Ribbon may not be suitable for those who find subjects such as child abuse non-palatable or offensive, and viewer discretion is advised. This flick is currently streaming for you to watch on Eros Now, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, Jio, Google Play.Well that's the OTTplay Lost and Found film Ribbon for today, I shall be back again tomorrow with another critically acclaimed , yet lesser-known film. This is your host Nikhil out of here for now.

Konkona Sen-Sharma's directorial debut, A Death in the Gunj may be packaged like a whodunit but is a lot more than just that. Prior to the film's release, the actress-filmmaker had shared that it was loosely inspired from the stories her father narrated to her as a child. Set in 1979 in McCluskieganj, this mystery revolves around a family vacation that doesn't exactly go as planned. The ensemble cast comprises Tilottoma Shome, Gulshan Devaiah, Vikrant Massey, Kalki Koechlin, Ranvir Shorey and Jim Sarbh. The film delivers as a classic mystery and lulls the audience into a world where one is always uncertain about the events to follow. It helps significantly that cinematographer Sirsha Ray translates Sen-Sharma's vision closely and intuitively, much like an artist's impression. A Death in the Gunj has to be Massey's most compelling performance. In the film, Massey slips into the protagonist Shuttu, who is also used as a vehicle to convey the flipside of being quietly repressed.The film's ending received divided opinions but for those who love a touch of fantasy and the atmosphere of an old school mystery, this one's a must-watch. If you haven't wanted this flick yet, see it on Amazon Prime Video.Alright, that's the lost and found film for today's podcast. I  shall be back again with another film or show that turned out to be a hidden gem. Until next time, it's your host Nikhil outta here.

Sometimes, even the most impactful films seem to slide away without being noticed or acknowledged. Perhaps, they weren't marketed like wholesome entertainers. Or maybe they were perceived as festival films and thus considered suitable only for those with a nuanced taste. But if you're one who doesn't judge a movie by its trailer and is willing to try out something new, this one's for you.Today's Lost and Found is Waiting. The 2016 film starring Naseeruddin Shah and Kalki Koechlin, turns the concept of grieving over its head. Its muted narrative occasionally laced with dark humour delves into the idea that while humans can get acclimated to extreme degrees of pain, moving on entirely can be an excruciating affair. Waiting introduces us to 70-year-old Shiv Natraj (played by Shah) whose partner has been in a comatose state for months. Shiv has come to accept the inevitable over time and has become a regular at the hospital where his wife has been admitted. When he chances upon a young woman (played by Koechlin) whose husband is recently admitted to the same hospital following a horrific accident, he decides to hand-hold her through the various stages of sorrow. Torn and shattered following their individual setbacks, the two are inflicted with varying degrees of pain, and the journey to acceptance is long and complex. But how they choose to grapple with their suffering make this film worth a watch. Directed by Anu Menon, Waiting is set in Kochi and offers some stunning vistas of God's own country. The veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has often admitted that he's accepted some films only because they paid him handsomely. But going by his compelling performance here, it's surely not one you can put a number on.  That was all the info about the hidden gem “Waiting”, I shall be back with another episode of OTTplay Lost and found, until then it's me Nikhil outta here.

#PaavaKadhaigal​ is a Tamil-language anthology film, consisting of four short film segments, directed by Sudha Kongara, #GauthamMenon​, #Vetrimaaran​ and #VigneshShivan​. Through four unique stories, the film explores how pride, honour, and sin influence complex relationships of love.The anthology features an ensemble cast of Kalki Koechlin, Anjali, Sai Pallavi, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Simran, Kalidas Jayaram, Bhavani Sre and Shanthnu Bhagyaraj.

In a candid conversation with Stutee, actor Amruta Subhash, Divya Dutta, Kalki Koechlin, Shweta Basu Prasad, and Surveen Chawla get candid over casting in the industry. In a Women’s Day Special episode, the actors discuss breaking stereotypes.

Sorry we haven't gone back to Bollywood just yet! Smytta needed some young energy, so she chose A Death in the Gunj, the remarkable 2016 debut of Konkona Sen Sharma, daughter of the legendary Aparna Sen. Set in 1979, the story centres around Shutu (Vikrant Massey), who tries to recover from a few setbacks in his personal life through a vacation with his cousin Nandu (Gulshan Devaiah) and Nandu's friends and family at an Anglo-Indian house away from the city. However, things don't exactly go as planned... Just like Monsoon Wedding, The Luncbox and The Lift Boy, this is a subtle and ultimately devastating character drama which demands but rewards close attention. Alex enjoys the scenery,  Om Puri, and the assured direction. Whilst initially disappointed by the lack of song-and-dance, Smytta admires the character direction and unpacks the nuanced social relations, especially between Shutu and the other male characters.  Intrigued? Then jump on your motorbike and join us in the foothills as we discuss A Death in the Gunj!

As leading actresses such as Kangana Ranaut and Swara Bhaskar take up the mantle of feminism, change is slowly coming to B-town. However, the male dominated Bollywood industry has a lot of way to go before an actress can expect the same treatment as one of the Khans. The recent case of Tanushree Dutta also highlights that the #metoo movement in Bollywood is just an empty scream, with no real ramifications for the accused.

Hrishi K with Kalki Koechlin & Vikramaditya Motwane - Sacred Games 2 by Hrishikesh Kannan

Zoya Akhtar has done it again! Hot off the heels of Gully Boy, she’s co-created a new Amazon Prime series with fellow director and screenwriter Reema Kagti about the lives of wedding planners in Delhi and the rich clients who hire them to bring a little bit of heaven to Earth, or so they think.  Show Notes: * [2019 Filmfare Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64th_Filmfare_Awards) * [Malk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfM7dvFto0&feature=youtu.be)  * [Made in Heaven](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Heaven_(TV_series)) * [Our episode on Gully Boy](https://audioboom.com/posts/7179923-started-from-the-bottom-rockstar-aashiqui-2-gully-boy) * Erin has a crush on [Jim Sarbh](https://www.missmalini.com/2018/07/02/man-crush-monday-jim-sarbh-is-talented-unconventional-sexy-af/) * [Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_377_of_the_Indian_Penal_Code) NEXT TIME: Sal Salam joins us to discuss camp queen Rekha Bollywood is For Lovers is a member of the [Alberta Podcast Network](https://www.albertapodcastnetwork.com) powered by [ATB](https://www.atb.com/listen/Pages/default.aspx) Check out [#AlbertaPride at ATB](https://www.atb.com/community/Pages/pride.aspx) Listen to [City of Champions](http://shanefen.podbean.com) Find us on [Apple Podcasts](https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/bollywood-is-for-lovers/id1036988030?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4)! and [Stitcher](https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/matt-bowes/bollywood-is-for-lovers)! and [audioBoom](https://audioboom.com/channel/bollywood-is-for-lovers)! and [iHeartRadio](https://www.iheart.com/podcast/270-bollywood-is-for-lovers-28344928/)! and [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1m38Hxx8ZFxTJzadsVk5U3)! and [Google Podcasts](https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzQ2OTg2OTAucnNz)!

This week, we have yet another debutant, Radhika, paving her way to the episode along with Abbas, Jaanam, Madhuri and Abhineet. They roll out some bewildering recommendations in the first half of the episode. In the second half, they talk about the buzz of the town, Amazon Prime's latest original series 'Made in Heaven', and their take on the dark part of the affluent Indian mindset. Tune in to the episode to find out more.

In its 90th episode, The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap takes you on an entertaining ride of some of the worst and best developments of the week. Our hosts Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen talk about two novels, latest shows on Netflix and an awful short film recommended for the mufatkhors!The Twice-Born: Life and Death on the Ganges is a novel written by Aatish Taseer whom Abhinandan calls one of the finest writers of his time. The book is about the Brahmin mind, Benaras, and modern politics. Another book discussed in this episode is Red Birds by Mohammed Hanif. The book is about America's war politics and its victims. Both books are highly recommended by our hosts.Taking a dive from a very highbrow discussion, Rajyasree takes us to Eros Now's latest drama series Smoke. A drama set in Goa and revolving around drugs, Rajyasree says Smoke is one of the most well-shot series and has a Narcos feel to it. The cast of this crime drama includes Tom Alter, Gulshan Devaiah, Kalki Koechlin and Jim Sarbh. Sen also thinks the series is as good as Sacred Games and has an Anurag Kashyap vibe to it.Moving on, we discuss Hasan Minhaj's latest series on Netflix, Patriot Act. Abhinandan and Rajyasree believe Hasan's style of stand-up comedy is different but quite predictable, unlike comedians like Stephen Colbert. With only two episodes out, maybe it's too early to judge what Patriot Act has in store but it's a remarkable feat for an American-Indian to have his own show on Netflix.Another recommendation coming from Netflix is BBC series Bodyguard starring Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes. They also discuss the latest trailer of Kedarnath starring Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput and how it was successful in piquing viewers' interest.The podcast also talks about a short film, The Playboy Mr Sawhney, which turned out to be a torturous watch. Listen to the full podcast to know why it's been highly recommended for our mufatkhors. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode of The Awful and Awesome brings you an action-packed week with our hosts—Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyashree Sen—both of whom have a lot to share.The conversation kicks off with a discussion on the new podcast ‘Kalki Presents: My Indian Life' by BBC World Service, hosted by Bollywood actor Kalki Koechlin. Abhinandan points out that although Kalki is a good presenter, a much more apt title for the podcast would have been “Conversation with Kalki” instead of “Kalki Presents: My Indian Life.” He adds that he doesn't see any evolution to the stories in the podcast, and concludes that the tone of the podcast is more like an interview with artists and celebrities. He also mentions that a Karan Johar interview would be more entertaining than this podcast.Rajyashree talks about the Video Music Awards and mentions her craze for all the scandals, controversies and mind-blowing performances that take place during the VMAs. But none of that happened except for the VMA Van Guard Award, which was given to Jennifer Lopez, and the tribute paid to Aretha Franklin by Madonna. Both Rajyashree and Abhinandan discussed the tribute given by Madonna even though it was more about herself.They move on to discuss the new Netflix original series called Ghoul, directed and written by Patrick Graham, and starring Radhika Apte. Rajyashree was not really pleased to watch this three-episode series and thought it was like Quantico with Radhika Apte and a demon, whereas Abhinandan really appreciated the production and sound design. Heads-up: the conversation contains a few spoilers.Rajyashree recommends everyone to watch a Persian movie called Under the Shadow and shares a quick review of the movie.She goes on to share her views on another new movie called Alpha and pointed out that the movie is visually appealing, with good cinematography and a unique language.Abhinandan talks about the Twitter threat by Nishant Kaushik and his horrible experience of the Indian Idol, followed by Rajyashree discussing Mini Mathur's tweet.

Episode 29 of the Khandaan podcast has arrived with 1991’s Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, starring Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt. Directed by Mahesh Bhatt, this remake of the beloved Hollywood classic It Happened One Night was a star vehicle for two enfant terribles of the age — Bhatt, who was setting Bollywood on fire with her unconventional antics, and Khan, who was tipped to be the next big thing. We also discuss two hot new releases: Shelley Chopra Dhar’s Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, starring father-daughter duo Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor along with Rajkumar Rao and Juhi Chawla. It is probably the most high profile LGBTQ film to have come out of the Hindi film industry in a while (not forgetting 2016’s Kapoor & Sons, which was a very different film). You can hear more about it [here](https://audioboom.com/posts/7172600-ep-237-love-is-love-dir-shelley-chopra-dhar-talks-ek-ladki-ko-dekha-to-aisa-laga) on the Upodcast interview with the director. The second new release we discuss is, of course, the movie that has fast become the talk of the town: Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy, starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Vijay Raaz, and Kalki Koechlin. Based on the real life journey of street rappers Divine and Naezy, this movie is attracting almost universal love.

A male-bonding bromance movie done right? Or a weak attempt at being the next Dil Chahta Hai? We feud, you decide! On this week’s bonus episode from Film Feud Bollywood, Vidur and Vikram feud Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. They kick if off with some common ground when they agree that the perfect English title for the film would be YOLO. Vidur starts gushing about the film right from its opening scene where upper class aunties singing Wind Beneath My Wings off key resonates with him. Vikram describes the film as cringe and pushes back at its depiction of bros. Before they can plan their own bro trip to Spain, the feud gets heated when Vidur tells Vikram which character from the movie he is. Some takeaways from the feud include - Kalki Koechlin's last name must be said nasally, Katrina Kaif does not know how to ride a motorcycle, and Hrithik Roshan is always modeling no matter what his character is. Who do you think won the feud? Let them know who you think won and what points you would have raised during the feud on [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/filmfeudbolly/?ref=br_rs), [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmfeudbollywood/) or [twitter](https://twitter.com/filmfeudbolly).

In its 90th episode, The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap takes you on an entertaining ride of some of the worst and best developments of the week. Our hosts Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen talk about two novels, latest shows on Netflix and an awful short film recommended for the mufatkhors!The Twice-Born: Life and Death on the Ganges is a novel written by Aatish Taseer whom Abhinandan calls one of the finest writers of his time. The book is about the Brahmin mind, Benaras, and modern politics. Another book discussed in this episode is Red Birds by Mohammed Hanif. The book is about America's war politics and its victims. Both books are highly recommended by our hosts.Taking a dive from a very highbrow discussion, Rajyasree takes us to Eros Now's latest drama series Smoke. A drama set in Goa and revolving around drugs, Rajyasree says Smoke is one of the most well-shot series and has a Narcos feel to it. The cast of this crime drama includes Tom Alter, Gulshan Devaiah, Kalki Koechlin and Jim Sarbh. Sen also thinks the series is as good as Sacred Games and has an Anurag Kashyap vibe to it.Moving on, we discuss Hasan Minhaj's latest series on Netflix, Patriot Act. Abhinandan and Rajyasree believe Hasan's style of stand-up comedy is different but quite predictable, unlike comedians like Stephen Colbert. With only two episodes out, maybe it's too early to judge what Patriot Act has in store but it's a remarkable feat for an American-Indian to have his own show on Netflix.Another recommendation coming from Netflix is BBC series Bodyguard starring Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes. They also discuss the latest trailer of Kedarnath starring Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput and how it was successful in piquing viewers' interest.The podcast also talks about a short film, The Playboy Mr Sawhney, which turned out to be a torturous watch. Listen to the full podcast to know why it's been highly recommended for our mufatkhors. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode of The Awful and Awesome brings you an action-packed week with our hosts—Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyashree Sen—both of whom have a lot to share. The conversation kicks off with a discussion on the new podcast ‘Kalki Presents: My Indian Life’ by BBC World Service, hosted by Bollywood actor Kalki Koechlin. Abhinandan points out that although Kalki is a good presenter, a much more apt title for the podcast would have been “Conversation with Kalki” instead of “Kalki Presents: My Indian Life.” He adds that he doesn’t see any evolution to the stories in the podcast, and concludes that the tone of the podcast is more like an interview with artists and celebrities. He also mentions that a Karan Johar interview would be more entertaining than this podcast.Rajyashree talks about the Video Music Awards and mentions her craze for all the scandals, controversies and mind-blowing performances that take place during the VMAs. But none of that happened except for the VMA Van Guard Award, which was given to Jennifer Lopez, and the tribute paid to Aretha Franklin by Madonna. Both Rajyashree and Abhinandan discussed the tribute given by Madonna even though it was more about herself.They move on to discuss the new Netflix original series called Ghoul, directed and written by Patrick Graham, and starring Radhika Apte. Rajyashree was not really pleased to watch this three-episode series and thought it was like Quantico with Radhika Apte and a demon, whereas Abhinandan really appreciated the production and sound design. Heads-up: the conversation contains a few spoilers. Rajyashree recommends everyone to watch a Persian movie called Under the Shadow and shares a quick review of the movie.She goes on to share her views on another new movie called Alpha and pointed out that the movie is visually appealing, with good cinematography and a unique language. Abhinandan talks about the Twitter threat by Nishant Kaushik and his horrible experience of the Indian Idol, followed by Rajyashree discussing Mini Mathur’s tweet. Tune in to find out more.

In Margarita with a Straw Indian writer/director Shonali Bose beautifully portrays the story of a luminous Indian teenager with cerebral palsy who leaves her homeland to study in New York, falls in love with a young blind woman, and begins a remarkable journey to self-discovery and independence. Bose was inspired to write this humane story by her cousin's experience with cerebral palsy. Margarita with a Straw features award-winning performances from some of India's most acclaimed actors, including Kalki Koechlin as Laila in a remarkable and life affirming portrayal. Margarita with a Straw is told with insight and humor. Director Sonali Bose joins us for a conversation on censorship, changing perceptions within her home country of India on same sex relations and how her own life experience inspired the making of this warm hearted film.
