In part 2, host Aditya Pisharody and the panel continue to discuss the OTT streaming space - including their favourite underrated YouTube gems, and why it's so hard for Indian shows to sustain quality over multiple seasons or episodes. The heart of this episode though is an impassioned debate about the unscripted reality TV space, how it has evolved and why FOMO culture is changing the way we consume content. Go on then...press play!

S3 Ep3: Indian Streaming: Reality TV, FOMO Culture and Sustaining Quality - Part 2 (Clubhouse Live Show)

Also, Satyen watched Skulls and Roses so you don't have to...

S2 Ep24: (Announcement) Bollywood Weekly Live broadcast on Clubhouse! Sunday 21 Feb, 7:30pm IST

Host Aditya Pisharody and Satyen Rao descend into the depths of Paatal Lok...and come out the other side immensely satisfied. A slick, intense, gripping crime thriller that is possibly the best show yet out of India's growing OTT boom.

S2 Ep23: Paatal Lok

Host Aditya Pisharody is joined by Shaaz and Mansha to discuss the AR Rahman 'Masakali' remake controversy, and the whole advent of remakes in general. The panel also discusses how content will evolve in the digital age with new OTT players and other disruptions.

S2 Ep22: Song remakes, Sidharth Malhotra's career choices, and more (NYC Lockdown Reunion special - Part 2)

Luka Chuppi

(Part 1 of 2) Host Aditya Pisharody is joined by pod veterans Shaaz and Mansha - as they take their mind off lockdowns and coronavirus by watching Luka Chuppi.

S2 Ep21: Luka Chuppi (NYC Lockdown Reunion special - Part 1)

Is Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's WAR actually an ode to love? Host Aditya Pisharody is joined by Satyen and Devika to de-construct the undeniable sexual tension between the two male leads in WAR. With the help of well-executed action sequences and Abbas-Mustan level plot twists, the biggest box office success of 2019 is actually a fun watch.

S2 Ep20: WAR ya Pyaar?

Why Om Shanti Om is the perfect thing to watch while in self-quarantine - entertaining, nostalgic and possibly even more relevant today than when it released. Host Aditya Pisharody explains why the film is ahead of its time, and possibly doesn't get the dues it deserve.

S2 Ep19: Om Shanti Om (Classics Special) | BW One-Take

S2 Ep18: Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota | BW One-Take

Bollywood Weekly is India's first ever podcast dedicated to Bollywood. Every week, we review the latest big theatrical release, and also provide views, opinions and random observations about the latest films, trailers, industry news, digital media and other relevant topics. Thoda funny or light-hearted rakhne ki bhi koshish kartein hain! There is only rule: no gossip, rumors, who’s dating who or any of that! We only focus on the things that matter - the movies themselves.

Really enjoying this podcast. The main host makes it a point to go into details of the movies, analysing them in terms of acting, storytelling and music. The other participants have interesting takes on the films and overall it makes for an engaging discussion. My only grouse is that the episodes are far too infrequent - do keep up the good work, we would love to hear many more episodes! 👍🏼

Really enjoy this podcast

I enjoy this podcast. The host keeps the conversation to the topic of the film or whatever theme they’re highlighting. The rapport between the people on the podcast is good and the discussion is intelligent and rooted in film principles and entertainment value. One star off for crazy sporadic publishing schedule. You’re lucky if they make one episode every 2-3 months.

Pretty engaging conversation but sporadic episodes

Freaky Ali

Nawazuddin is Freaky good as Freaky Ali, but the rest of the movie, script and direction fail to match his high standards - though it has its moments. In other news, Varun Dhawan announces Judwaa 2 (we can't wait to see who makes the music) and we ponder whether Bollywood has lost its identity in light of the industry's commercial struggles this year.

Aditya Pisharody and Satyen Rao re-live the scarcely believable scenes of Housefull 4 - as Satyen tries (in vain) to justify the existence of this film. From casual sexism to continuity errors, amid intense speculation about the existence or lack thereof of the film's script - the Housefull franchise continues to boggle the mind.  Also featuring trailer round-ups of Drive, Pagalpanti and Motichoor Chaknachoor - with a shout-out to Athiya Shetty's surprisingly earnest performance.

Kabir Singh

Arjun kare toh theek, Kabir kare toh character dheela hai? Host Aditya Pisharody welcomes back Bharat Misra to discuss why Kabir Singh, despite being a nearly frame-by-frame re-make suffers in comparison to Arjun Reddy - as well as the outrage surrounding the film. Also featuring Bharat's growing social media following.

S2 Ep15: Kabir Singh: Misogynistic or Misunderstood?

 Why PINK, despite it's flaws, is essential viewing for everyone - perfectly bringing out the archaic thinking that underpins our society even today. We still have no idea about the name though. Still on PINK - Taapsee Pannu and Kriti Kulhari give career defining promises, while Mr. Bachchan is on such a higher plane that this performance actually felt a bit average. Piyush Mishra, though.....no, just no. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil trailer is finally out! We now have a definitive theory on the plot, and we have it on fairly good authority that its more or less accurate. Banjo disappears without a trace. Vir Das has a Netflix special! Or he will soon.

A movie that tried to do so much that it didn't do anything - we run the rule over 'Kalank', a 90s SRK film by Dharma masquerading as a wannabe SLB epic.

S2 Ep12: Kalank

Why host Aditya Pisharody thinks that 'The Sky is Pink' is possibly the best film of 2019, despite what the critics will have you believe. A wonderfully well-crafted narrative which manages to stay light-hearted even when dealing with an emotionally draining subject matter.

S2 Ep16: The Sky is Pink

Host Aditya Pisharody invites self-confessed SRK fan Bharat Misra to try and make sense of Zero - a frankly puzzling film. Along the way, they discuss SRK's influence on films as a producer, why Katrina Kaif was the best part of the move and speculate why all Bollywood actors have static hair. No, really.

Bollywood Weekly receives it's first ever Chinese guest on the show as the pod revisits Karwaan (2018) - and looks back on why it fell short of being a great road trip movie.

Other fun topics include Delhi Crime, Delhi accents, and the Kalank time warp. Also, we have a completely unbiased, noncontroversial political discussion around the Narendra Modi film - nothing to see here....
