  • Making of English Vinglish with Gauri Shinde and special guest Janhvi Kapoor
    Jan 17 2020

    This episode features Gauri Shinde, Janhvi Kapoor and the making-of story of English Vinglish. In the year 2012, a first-time director hit all the right notes when she delivered a charming, heartfelt film about a middle-aged woman who, while visiting America for a family wedding, enrolls in English classes to earn the respect of her husband and kids. English Vinglish featured a winning performance from Sridevi, the massively adored superstar who was returning to the screen after a hiatus of 15 years. English Vinglish was the perfect marriage of material and movie star. Sridevi imbued the character of Shashi Godbole with genuine feeling. Through her sharp script, writer-director Gauri Shinde made strong observations about women and their tendency to allow others the power to make them feel inferior. The result is a feel-good film that frequently leaves you teary eyed and with a lump in your throat. It is a film so intrinsically connected to its protagonist and by virtue of that it’s leading lady, that the first thing that comes to mind when you think English Vinglish is Sridevi.

  • Making of Golmaal with Rohit Shetty and special guest Ajay Devgn
    Jan 17 2020

  • Making of Piku with Shoojit Sircar and special guest Deepika Padukone
    Jan 17 2020

    This episode features Shoojit Sircar, anecdotes from Deepika Padukone and the making-of story of Piku. In 2015, three years after he delivered a terrific comedy about a young man who overcomes his initial reluctance to become a professional sperm donor, Shoojit Sircar turned his attention to a similarly awkward subject: constipation. It’s true. Bowel movements played a big role in his charming father-daughter dramedy Piku. Amitabh Bachchan starred as a cantankerous hypochondriac obsessed with the colour, the texture, the consistency of his poop, and Deepika Padukone played his long-suffering daughter exasperated with all the toilet talk. The film also starred Irrfan Khan as the hapless fellow stuck with driving them from Delhi to Kolkata, with the old man’s convenient toilet-seat carved chair strapped to the carrier of his cab. When it released, Piku was unlike anything else in the cinemas. It benefited from extraordinary performances by the entire ensemble and ended up conquering both hearts and the box office. To date, it remains a breezy, slice-of-life offering that feels instantly relatable.

  • Making of Udaan with Vikramaditya Motwane and special guest Rajat Barmecha
    Jan 17 2020

    This episode features Vikramaditya Motwane, anecdotes from Rajat Barmecha and the making-of story of Udaan. In the year 2010, a first-time director made a small film about a teenage boy rebelling against his authoritarian father. The film had a relatively low-key cast, it didn’t cost very much to make, and the bulk of it was shot in the very unglamorous city of Jamshedpur. Still, Udaan got the best reviews of the year. It became the first Indian film in seven years to be in the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival. Nine years later, it remains as wonderfully evocative and deeply affecting. It’s a film that’s found its audience over the years; a legion of fans who swear by it. The film’s writer-director Vikramaditya Motwane joins Rajeev in this episode to talk about his film.
