Sabar Bonda, the Marathi film that won a prestigious honour at Sundance last year, is either a poetic exploration of the road not taken or a pretentious try-hard desperate to feel important.We discuss the film's unconventional dramatic choices, the effects of its stillness, and the lacklustre quality of the central performances. We also debate its performative nature and wonder how it turned out to be so divisive.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

Sthal, the Marathi-language feature from debutante director Jayant Digambar Somalkar, is one of the best films of 2025.It's a deftly written, confidently shot, and expertly performed psychological drama about the commodification of women.We discuss the anger at the film's core, its bleak view of Indian society, and the catharsis it provides with an instant-classic climax.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

A Song, A Step, A Second Chance... Meet the man behind timeless songs like Bawra Mann, Piyu Bole, and O Ri Chiraiya. From selling vacuum cleaners in Indore to winning National Awards and penning some of Bollywood's most memorable music, Swanand Kirkire's journey is one of courage, flow, and creativity.What happens when two multi-talented artists—Ashish Vidyarthi and Swanand Kirkire—reunite after decades?

Warning: This conversation covers the issue of suicide. Yesterday we spoke to Laura Reiley, a writer at Cornell University whose only child died by suicide after suffering from anxiety and depression. Laura shared her daughter Sophie's story in an essay for The New York Times because while she had been seeing a human therapist, Sophie had also turned to a therapy chatbot for help between sessions and it was the chatbot that she confided in when she chose to end her life. After that interview, we received an email telling us about ANTSA - a digital tool for mental health professionals that supports clients between sessions.

Text Jayanti Singh*Curator: IrfanWe're thrilled to launch our first regional language podcastin Bundeli, marking a vibrant new chapter in our Read Aloud Collective. Thisglobal community of voice enthusiasts comes together to read, record, discuss,and celebrate the power of words. Regional languages and dialects, rich withcultural depth, have often been mocked or sidelined by mainstream audiovisualcontent, particularly Bollywood. Our initiative aims to revive the authentictone, expressions, and profound wisdom embedded in these languages—reflectinglived experiences, idioms, and simplicity. In the first phase of our regional collectives, we inviteenthusiasts of Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Braj, Bagheli, Ruhelkhandi, Dogri, Punjabi,Sindhi, Haryanvi, Magahi, Marathi, Gujarati, Odia, Bangla, Rajasthani, Angika,Kumauni, Garhwali, and Kannauji to join us. If you love recording your voicewhile reading in your native dialect or language, this is for you. This isn't acompetition or judgment—it's a celebration of the heartfelt sounds oftenovershadowed by urbanized Hindi, English, or Hinglish. Let's make our nativevoices alive, vibrant, and timeless, showcasing their true charm andsoul-stirring strength. Introducing Ranjana Mishra, the first to join ourRAC-Bundeli initiative and a standout among our Bundeli narrators. A teacher byprofession, Ranjana's sweet, nuanced voice blends lived experiences with afresh, modern subtlety that resonates with Gen Z from Bundelkhand, spanningparts of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh (including Banda, Hamirpur, Jalaun,Jhansi, Lalitpur, Chitrakoot, Mahoba, Datia, Chhatarpur, Panna, Tikamgarh,Sagar, Damoh, and Niwari districts).

Periodically on TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING , we share a SPOTLIGHT conversation and feature brief chats with an individual or a group from the community about a special topic or a unique endeavor. I grew up in a Marathi American household and even as a born and raised Californian, there was a lot of attention at my house to Marathi film and cinema. So much that the idea of watching Tukaram, Ram Shastri, Simhasan, or Umbartha were not foreign to me as a 12 year old. Marathi cinema is the oldest film industry in India and from Dadasaheb Phalke making the first full feature length movie more than 100 years ago to Prabhat films all the way to 2016's Sairat,, you can directly connect the dots from this rich legacy to every corner of India's film industry today.So on this SPOTLIGHT episode of Trust Me, I Know What I'm Doing, and yes, I'm aware of the mild irony of this, नमस्कार आणि आपल्य सर्वांचा स्वागत करतो. आणि नेहमीप्रमाणे, आज आपण या मुलाखतीत अंग्रेजित बोलणार आहोत! So, let's focus on how this Marathi film legacy is undergoing a contemporary revival at the intersection of art, business, and community, through the North American Film Association (NAFA) and its founder, Abhi Gholap. As a serial entrepreneur, investor, and passionate Marathi film enthusiast, Abhi has personified that bridging of tradition and today's film landscape, and is the convener of the upcoming 2025 North American Film Festival in San Jose. Notably, he is the producer of the acclaimed award-winning 2011 film Deool, a movie that not only achieved commercial and critical success but also underscored the social impact and artistic power of Marathi storytelling. His experience with Deool shaped his unique approach to filmmaking, blending an entrepreneurial drive with a keen sensitivity to meaningful, community-centered stories. And now with the non-profit NAFA, and the focused lens of the upcoming 2025 North American Film Festival, it was great to explore how Abhi and NAFA are creating new opportunities—connecting local voices with international platforms and using film as a common language of inclusion and growth. The mission of NAFA is pretty simple - to advance the Marathi film ecosystem through collaborative efforts in production, distribution, and film festivals, and I've personally found that for any group, a spirit of inclusion and priority to strong storytelling is one that builds sustainable connection and emotional endurance.So, as we sat for a conversation, and after a brief Marathi introduction that you can see on the Youtube version of the podcast, I was actually thinking of how people get introduced to movies when they're young and so I asked Abhi if he could reflect on some of his own first Marathi movie experiences and memories… Please learn more about the 2025 NAFA Film Festival (July 25-27, 2025 in San Jose).
This week on Cyrus Says AMA, Cyrus is joined by writer, screenwriter, and ex-MTV producer Vrushali Samant for an absolutely unfiltered, nostalgic, and gloriously off-the-rails conversation. Together, they take on a fresh batch of ridiculous (and sometimes suspiciously deep) questions from our listeners — covering everything from international politics to Mumbai’s monsoon potholes. What else?!
We're 10 years old!!! And we’re still reelin’, reminiscing, and replaying the bangers that made our indie hearts beat faster. This week, we’re flashing back to the not so distant past - our Best of 2023 – a year that gave us Assamese jazz-pop, Urdu blues, Punjabi folk, and a Marathi abhanga with a guitar solo that’s soooo good, it deserves its own Aadhaar card. We even celebrated our 300th episode that featured a cult band from the early 2000s, and went gaga over a shoegaze dream pop band from Nepal who put across a strong case that momos from Nepal were the best EVVVAAAAAA! This re-release comes with a fresh intro by Senior Producer Ruchi — whose official review of the episode is just one word: “CHILLS.” So plug in, get comfy, and vibe out to the voices that made 2023 unforgettable. Song List: Zero - Take Me Away (04:32 - 09:32) Sampriti - Xathor (10:07 - 16:02) Sameer Rahat - Tasalli (17:37 - 23:02) Banat - Daachi Waaleya (23:38 - 27:09) Swarupa Ananth - Happy Dance (27:54 - 30:54) Abhanga Repost - Aise Kaise Zhale Bhondu (32:14 - 37:47) Nimisha Shankar - Duniya (39:32 - 42:33) Phosphenes - Are You Gonna Leave Me?

Firstly, we are joined by The Indian Express' Shubhangi Khapre who discusses Maharashtra, where cousins and political rivals Uddhav and Raj Thackeray shared a stage for the first time in nearly two decades, rekindling their alliance over concerns for the Marathi identity and state politics.Next, The Indian Express' Sophiya Mathew talks about a fuel ban on End of Life Vehicles that was implemented and then quickly deferred to November 1. She explains why the ban was introduced, why it was paused, and what challenges lie ahead. (13:05)Lastly, we head to Gujarat, where a sudden bridge collapse in Vadodara district killed at least 10 people to discuss what happened and the ongoing rescue operations. (24:30)Hosted by Ichha SharmaProduced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha SharmaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
Abhay is joined by award winning filmmaker Geeta Gandbhir, as she discusses her journey in making documentary films, the importance of empathy in storytelling, and the challenges faced by marginalized voices in the industry. She reflects on her personal experiences, the influence of her mentors, and the need for representation and trust. Geeta also shares insights on her latest project, 'The Perfect Neighbor,' which explores the complexities of community and violence. She is currently directing a series for Netflix with Spike Lee and Samantha Knowles, which is a retrospective on post-Katrina New Orleans. Gratefully, we also talked about Star Wars and Amar Chitra Katha.(0:00 - 2:50) Introduction(2:50) Part 1 - empowerment and practice(16:47) Part 2 - highlighting the African American experience, making 'The Perfect Neighbor', empathy as a vehicle, activism(33:49) Part 3 - legacy and mentorship, cultivating trust(48:42) ConclusionSHOUT OUT: There are major headwinds that are making it harder and harder to freely share stories and news especially from communities of color, so please check out URL media and EpicenterNYC, both the brainchildren of my friend and veteran journalist, Mitra Kalita.Correction - A shared quote in the episode is from director Grace Lee (not Spike Lee). My bad!

In this laugh-out-loud episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha sits down with comedians Nivedita and Devanshi for a wildly entertaining and unpredictable conversation. What starts as a casual chat about AMAs quickly spirals into hilarious commentary on bad coffee, South Indian pride, chaotic Indian traffic, and the trials of learning how to drive in Mumbai. The episode is packed with travel tales—from comedy gigs in Melbourne and a solo trip to New Zealand, to unexpected moments of cultural confusion (yes, someone mistakes them for being Chinese). They discuss the unique struggles of being comedians, getting paid in foreign lands, surviving conservative expectations, and how their Indian audiences evolve once they move abroad. It wouldn’t be Cyrus Says without a few absurd games and off-track rants—expect debates over cricketers versus comedians, awkward public encounters, and a Marathi cuss word guessing game that goes nowhere fast. Oh, and somewhere in the chaos, Cyrus also receives a “most entertaining podcast” award—whatever that means. It’s unfiltered, unapologetic, and totally ridiculous—in the best way possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
