From “event films” with star-studded casts to box office juggernauts that left us snoozing, we’re spilling our honest (and probably controversial) takes on which films didn’t live up to the buzz. Were they carried by PR, star power, or just collective delusion? Grab your chai, because we’re naming names, rollin...
Send us a text In this episode of Extra Shot of Chai, we’re putting the spotlight on Bollywood’s most underrated gems—the movies that deserved better but somehow flopped, faded, or got completely overshadowed. Kavitha dives into Rocket Singh and Kathal, while Munni breaks down Bluffmaster and Bulbul. We’re talking about what actually worked —acting, story, music, vibe —and then digging into why these films didn’t get their due. Was it bad timing? Terrible marketing? Or just Bollywood being Bo...

Send us a text In this episode of Extra Shot of Chai, we’re swapping movie magic for marathon binges and diving headfirst into the world of Hindi series—Part 2 edition. From gritty thrillers that had us hooked to soapy dramas that tested our patience, we each picked two shows and brought the full review kit: hot takes, shade, and maybe a little snack-based judgment. Which series had us screaming “just one more episode” and which ones had us rage-quitting halfway through? Grab your chai, beca...
Send us a text In this high-energy episode of Extra Shot of Chai, we’re talking all things item numbers, muscles, and movie magic—with a very special guest host: Sheila (aka our resident bodybuilder and “Work Hard, Mom Hard” queen with a Bollywood twist).
