Show notes

Airlift is powerful, genuine and engaging - while Akshay Kumar delivers one of his best performances. Throw in a tight script and some fantastic supporting characters, and this is definitely a movie worth watching.

S1 Ep18: Dilwale Dec 30, 2015

Show notes

Dilwale is a reflection of 2015 in Bollywood - moments of magic, but way too much garbage to get through in order to find it. Even SRK-Kajol's reunion isn't enough to hide the mediocrity of this movie.

S1 Ep13: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Nov 18, 2015

Show notes

1) Why Prem Ratan Dhan Payo didn't recapture the magic of 90's Bollywood, and how the industry has evolved to reward short term box office results over longevity or timelessness.

2) Trailer analysis of Dilwale, Bajirao Mastani, Hate Story 3, X and Tamasha.

3) Why Priyanka Chopra's success on Quantico should be celebrated not put down, as we ask the question: why does PC get so much more hate and backlash for this show than Anil Kapoor did for 24?

Check out the Bollywood Project podcast, including Ep 25.5 featuring our host Aditya Pisharody discussing Nepotism in Bollywood and TV in India. http://bollyproject.com/e/bonus-episode-255-a-discussion-on-nepotism-in-bollywood-and-tv-in-india-with-aditya-of-bollywood-weekly/

S1 Ep12: Shaandaar Nov 02, 2015

Show notes
