nice.
One of the best podcasts on entertainment, pop culture and many other things, not more for the reviews but the overall entertainment quotient.
Gr8 funny episode 😃😃👍
rajshree should have been in this one when abhinandan would have been blushing throughout thanks to his encounter with deepika.
Parineeti Chopra's contract for "Beti Bachao Beti Badho" had ended in April 2017, WAY BEFORE CAA 2019 Came into existence.
Good fun episode
Pose is available to stream on both Hotstar Premium and Netflix in India.
It's "ɡal ɡaˈdot" not Gal Gado.
Prakash was boring as hell. Perhaps the only episode of TA&A where I got thoroughly bored and was literally waiting for the eposide to end, so that I could end my walk and go home.
Absolute fun episode
congrats on the award for the best podcast!
This is truly the best podcast. This week Rajyashree was missed.
I believe that Kumbalangi Nights is a great movie. As an entertaining, original and quite well performed movie. Not sure about the politics. Seems like what a "Film Critic" would look at in a movie. You may have also lost something in the language but I enjoyed the movie and found it refreshing.
gotta love the banter!
