What is the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the word, ‘Refugee?' Do you think - “illegal', ‘undocumented', or something “unwanted'?; all these words have a negative connotation to them. Why have we categorized some humans as illegal? These are people who fled their homeland in the face of conflict and war, fearing for their lives. Or do we think of them as illegal because they don't have any documentation, and can we actually do something about it? You are listening to News and Views, and in this episode, we will be speaking to Swara Bhaskar, an award-winning actor and an advocate of secularism and human rights. We spoke to her about refugees, her activism, her support of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, and the cost she pays to stand up for what she believes in. 

The Indian film industry is in for tough times with escalating costs of projects, primarily due to the unreasonable fee hikes by lead star casts, and a section of technicians. In the latest episode of its show, 'Business of Entertainment', Mint's Lata Jha goes through the financial performance of what's buzzing in the world of entertainment.

Welcome to another episode of OTTplay Lost and Found, one podcast that talks about critically acclaimed films and shows but lesser-known. I'm your host Nikhil.Films where a vulnerable person or community is falsely accused of a certain crime or coloured inaccurately often end up as a social commentary, complete with a lot of rona-dhona. But there are those that give it a positive spin by drafting characters who refuse to accept their marginalized position and rise above their circumstances to make their mark. Today's Lost and Found, the 2017 drama Anaarkali of Aarah is surely one such film.With a power-packed cast comprising Swara Bhaskar, Pankaj Tripathi and Sanjay Mishra, this one's a compelling story of injustice set in the hinterland. When a nachnewali played by Bhaskar is violated by a local, we're sensitized to the vulnerable position of dancers who're hired to perform at weddings. Routinely attacked by perpetrators who feel entitled, these heinous acts are often overlooked as these dancers are often demonized by society and even denied their basic human rights. And while the film doesn't attempt to paint them as sheep being sent to the slaughter, it does raise the pertinent issue that their consent is rarely sought by these perpetrators who believe that naachnewalis would invariably also function as sex workers.An area where this film scores has to be the fact that despite the milieu and subject being tackled, it doesn't stray into vulgar territory and even while the situations and circumstances may seem unsettling to some, it doesn't make the audience uncomfortable at any point. What it also manages well is to effectively translate the lead's debilitating state across the screen. And while it doesn't deliberately seek empathy, one can't help but root for her through the film.This has to be Bhaskar's most compelling turns and she slips into her Anarkali like a queen with no regrets, packing her acting chops with a punch and owning the character completely.Surely, a gem that slipped through the cracks.If you havent watched this film yet then do so streaming on Disney + HotstarWell that's the OTTplay Lost and Found for today's episode, until the next podcast it's your host Nikhil signing out.Aaj kya dekhoge OTTplay se poocho

As leading actresses such as Kangana Ranaut and Swara Bhaskar take up the mantle of feminism, change is slowly coming to B-town.

Abhinandan and Rajyasree are back this week to bring you the latest from the world of pop culture.Rajyasree reviews Veere Di Wedding, starring Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania. She says, “In the first half of the film, it's like none of them have bothered to read the script or learn their lines.”On asking why, she says, “Because they're acting so terribly. It's just horrible acting.”But what irritated Rajyasree most was the ridiculous product placement.“There's Amul ice cream! These ‘rail thin' women other than poor Shikha Talsania are shown as eating lots of Amul ice cream,” she adds.Abhinandan speaks about his experience dealing with clients as a filmmaker. He says that clients keep wanting the product placement to be ‘seamless'.Rajyasree talks about the film Get Out (2017) that won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and is finally available for viewing in India - but only on HBO. And she's able to convince Abhinandan to watch it.The duo discuss a recent advertisement on menstrual hygiene - “First Period”. Rajyasree informs us that the advertisement was released on World Menstrual Hygiene Day. Abhinandan says, “Acting is terrible…I don't understand the message.” Rajyasree talks about mansplaining and how the director, Mozez Singh takes the concept to a “different level”. She adds, “I do feel it's a bit much for a man, who has never had his period…to tell me, a woman, why my mother did not do something.”Abhinandan is clearly amused by the video of the “dancing uncle”. The video features Professor Srivastava, who teaches electronics in Bhopal. Prof Srivastava “may be teaching electronic but his moves are electric”. Rajyasree adds, “his head movement is very good”. Abhinandan and Rajyasree discuss what makes a video go viral in the digital space.The duo also discuss Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dum, which is back on air after nine years. Rajyasree says, “Such a rubbish concept according to me…very braindead.” She talks about Salman Khan himself issuing a disclaimer and stating, “This is not an intelligent show”. The conversation turns to gym freaks on Instagram. Abhinandan says, “Dus Ka Dum is a shit show and Instagram is a shit concept”. And, Rajyasree definitely does not want to see you all in your gym clothes. Listen up. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's Awful and Awesome episode ends the trauma of having “nothing good to watch or read”.Abhinandan's favourite actress, Madhuri Dixit, takes the spotlight with the trailer of her upcoming Marathi film Bucket List. While Rajyasree says “she's pretty much playing her age… her face moves”, Abhinandan comments on the issue of "dramatic" acting by “80s' actresses when they act in 2018” and also says “this trailer is a really good trailer… although it seems like a regular, feel-good film, the plot seems interesting. There seem to be some really good humour points”.Rajyasree doesn't seem too impressed by Veere Di Wedding starring Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania. Abhinandan says “it seems like a more fun version of Angry Indian Goddesses”. He talks about the “first-half comedy and second-half tragedy” approach used in Bollywood. Rajyasree talks more about Bollywood “moving away from the stereotype of portraying leading women as ‘good girls'”.Rajyasree gushes over Saif Ali Khan in his upcoming Netflix TV series Sacred Games, based on the book by Vikram Chandra “Not from NDTV, to be clear”. The story revolves around the two characters from the Bombay underworld and the Maharashtra Police.Next on the agenda is the Rajkumar Rao-starrer Omerta, in which the actor plays the criminal mastermind behind several major terrorist attacks around the world - Omar Sheikh. Abhinandan praises the works of director Hansal Mehta and Anurag Kashyap, but says, “kept (the movie) me hooked… it was really flat but wouldn't want anyone else making it". Rajyasree feels Omerta is worth watching simply because Sheikh's is an “interesting ‘life”.Avengers: Infinity Wars makes it to this episode, having clocked a billion dollars in its opening week. While the world is going crazy over the movie, Abhinandan says it's “not my favourite”. Moving on to the world of literature, Rajyasree discusses the sexual harassment charges against author Junot Diaz. Rajyasree talks about the #MeToo movement and how it has helped people gather the courage to speak up. Abhinandan comments on how the “Nobel Literature Prize will not be given this year because of similar reasons”.Finally, Priyanka Chopra makes the news of the day with her comments on the controversy around the character “Apu" from The Simpsons. The controversy was triggered by a documentary released by Hari Kondavola addressing the issue.Rajyasree says: “Priyanka Chopra is doing the rounds of the talk shows and so on” for her upcoming season of Quantico. She talks about the actress coming from a privileged background and feels “her trauma is something I have not been able to wrap my head around".Abhinandan dwells more on stereotypes reinforced in Bollywood and the extent of political correctness. And then comes the advice that everyone should take into consideration – “If you're so offended by Apu, then get a life”. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 16: Veere Di Wedding shows girls can have fun and make a box-office hit too! Starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam K. Ahuja, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania.

Welcome to Episode 13 (gulp!) of the Khandaan Podcast where we discuss 2011’s Don 2, starring Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, Lara Dutta, and Kunal Kapoor. In this podcast, we talk about the consistently high production values of Excel Entertainment that allow it to make movies that don’t age as badly as other Bollywood product. However, how far can technical excellence take you when the writing is merely ho-hum? This episode left Asim, Sujoy and Amrita with more questions than answers – will Farhan ever make another movie? Were PC and SRK destroying Bharatiya Sanskriti during this film? How hot is Lara Dutta? Etc. We also discuss the blockbuster new release "Veere di Wedding" and the amazing response it has received from male reviewers who are massively upset with its brand of female power. We also look at the many controversies that emerged from this film, including Swara Bhaskar’s infamous statement about Pakistan. A few words are also spared for "Bhavesh Joshi", a movie that dared but couldn’t bear (any fruit at the box office). Asim looks forward to your outraged responses to this podcast! He would also like to remind you that Khandaan is currently accepting nominations for our special run, which begins with episode 15.
