We already name-dropped Daredevil and Hitchcock in the Contrarians Corner write-up, so let's reference our friend Peter Bogdanovich in Real Talk, because… wouldn't he had loved this elevator pitch?

Dil Toh Filmy Hai's Director's First Series sheds light on successful Bollywood directors whose directorial debuts may have been forgotten. In this episode, we discuss director Sriram Raghavan, who is known for directing films like Andhadhun, Badlapur and Agent Vinod. However, people may have forgotten that his debut film was something else altogether. Listen to Amreen & Shwayta on Dil Toh Filmy Hai to find out what Sriram Raghavan's debut film is!
Merry Christmas, director Sriram Raghavan's follow-up to the critical and commercial hit Andhadhun, is nothing to celebrate. We discuss the film's lack of discernible aesthetic, the complete absence of any spark between stars Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, and its baffling climax. Along the way, we discuss the decision to reduce an important child character to a plot device, and the increasingly illogical behaviour displayed by both central characters. — Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

From Andhadhun, Agent Vinod, Helicopter Eela, Johnny Gaddar, , Bell Bottom to Judgementall Hai Kya and the latest Ashutosh Gowariker's production Toolsidas Junior, music composer Daniel B George has carved his own niche in the Indian music industry. An award-winning music composer-arranger, Daniel never received any formal training in music. However, today, Daniel is a name to reckon with in Bollywood especially after his iconic 'piano' arrangements in Parineeta, 3 Idiots, Lage Raho Munnabhai to Andhadhun. He talks about his eventful, unconventional journey from composing jingles for around 300 advertisements for Pradeep Sarkar & Dibakar Banerjee, to assisting Shantanu Moitra to composing for Sriram Raghavan.

The train was invented by Englishman Dr Glenjamin Train back in the summer of 1997 when he realised what an incredible name he had for a new form of transportation. No of course, I'm being facetious: the truth is that no one knows how the locomotive was invented nor indeed how they work and those things will continue to remain a mystery as you tune in to listen to us discuss the Top 5 Movie Trains. Some incredible railway facts are only moments away courtesy of Peter Andre, a dedicated and enthusiastic ferroequinologist.With the notable exception of Dan none of us have seen any Indian cinema so I personally wasn't sure what to expect of the 2018 black comedy thriller ANDHADHUN. Ayushmann Khurrana plays the blind pianist Akash, who becomes embroiled in a murder alongside Hindi screen legends Tabu and Anil Dhawan, although the intrigue doesn't stop there. I advise you to go into this one blind yourself and watch the movie on our recommendation as the skill and craft on display from director Sriram Raghavan is matched by the audacity and complexity of the screenplay. Currently on Netflix in the UK, this outstanding film will inevitably be remade by Hollywood, no doubt as an inferior product starring someone awful, Ashton Kutcher let's say.It's King Thistle's birthday and the residents of the Little Kingdom are under strict instructions not to mention it to the miserable monarch in BEN & HOLLY'S LITTLE KINGDOM, the sophomore effort from Peppa Pig producers Mark Baker & Neville Astley. Sharing much of the same voice cast, a similar dynamic and the same classic animation style will this be a case of familiarity breeding contempt?We love to hear from our listeners!

A one-of-a-kind intelligent thriller or a predictable gimmicky Hitchcock rip-off? They feud, you decide! On this week's feud, Vidur and Vikram debate a “homegrown” top rated movie, 2018’s bollywood phenomenon - Andhadhun. Vidur refuses to be blinded by the hype around this new entrant to the IMDB top 250 while all Vikram can see is that it 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. After they get the blind puns over with and a brief discussion about whether its the year of Radhika Apte, Vidur brings up various movies and directors that did it better, including Andhadhun’s director Sriram Raghavan himself in his previous work, the Coen brothers and Woody Allen. Things heat up when Vikram can’t take it anymore and begins revering the most famous sequence from the movie, calling it jaw dropping. Vidur puts on his technical hat and starts complaining about camera angles and blocking. By the time they get around to discussing theories about the ending, Vidur is shaking his head and refusing to listen. Don’t forget to let us know who you think won the feud on facebook (http://bit.ly/2CbMmD5) , instagram (http://bit.ly/2VFVhFE) and twitter (http://bit.ly/2FmOtXV) .

AndhaDhun lead stars - Ayushmann Khurrana and Tabu - get candid in an interview with RJ Stutee on Hindustan Times’ celebrity talk show Aur Batao. The actors talk about working with director Sriram Raghavan and why people must watch this film. At least five times, they say. Ayushmann Khurrana then gets candid about his crush on co-star Tabu which leaves the actress blushing.
A Chinese student blogs on the success of Ayushmann Khurrana’s AndhaDhun in China. For starters, Sriram Raghavan’s Andhadhun (released as Piano Player in China) was widely publicised on WeChat and Weibo even before its release.
My chat with Shivendra Singh Dungarpur about film preservation and film restoration.We chatted about preservation and how restoration also entails keeping the filmmaker’s original intent intact. We also spoke about Muzaffar Ali’s Zoonie; the recent restoration of Kubrick’s masterpiece, 2001: A space Odyssey; the first Bengali silent film, Bilwamangal; and Peter Jackson’s They Shall Not Grow Old. Dungarpur also touched on his unfinished film, Ittefaq. For which he had assembled an enviable crew, comprising Rahman, Gulzar, Sriram Raghavan, Karan Bali and Sharmishta Roy.

A one-of-a-kind intelligent thriller or a predictable gimmicky Hitchcock rip-off? They feud, you decide! On this week's feud, Vidur and Vikram debate a “homegrown” top rated movie, 2018’s bollywood phenomenon - Andhadhun. Vidur refuses to be blinded by the hype around this new entrant to the IMDB top 250 while all Vikram can see is that it 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. After they get the blind puns over with and a brief discussion about whether its the year od Radhika Apte, Vidur brings up various movies and directors that did it better, including Andhadhun’s director Sriram Raghavan himself in his previous work, the Coen brothers and Woody Allen. Things heat up when Vikram can’t take it anymore and begins revering the most famous sequence from the movie, calling it jaw dropping. Vidur puts on his technical hat and starts complaining about camera angles and blocking. By the time they get around to discussing theories about the ending, Vidur is shaking his head and refusing to listen.

Episode 34: A look at Sriram Raghavan's body of work that leads up to his latest film, AndhaDhun - starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu and Radhika Apte.
Sriram Raghavan is Hindi cinema's thriller master. His films are filled with dark and dirty people – criminals and gamblers, murderers and conmen. His films are also filled with references to older Hindi films. But in Andhadhun, Sriram takes the homage further. Anil Dhawan, star of 70s pulp classics like Chetna and Darwaza, plays a version of himself – a yesteryear star who spends too much time revisiting his past glory.
Film Companion brings to you it's first 'Adda' session with Anushka Sharma, Varun Dhawan, Sriram Raghavan and Navdeep Singh. Adda is the space where people from the film industry put their hair down and have a candid discussion about cinema. See how Varun and Anushka fight to prove that there’s nothing dark or off-beat about their latest choice of films.
