24: (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.

23: 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.

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

(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.

21: 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.

20: 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.

<Skip to 9:06 for the review of Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota> Part 1 - we address our sporadic publishing schedule, and present our plan to make things *a little bit* better by launching a new format. Part 2 - the glorious surprise that is Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, and why Radhika Madan is the best thing since sliced bread.

18: Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota | BW One-Take

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.

17: Housefull 4

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.

16: The Sky is Pink

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.

15: Kabir Singh: Misogynistic or Misunderstood?

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.

14: Zero: SRK's Fading Charm, Static Hair-dos and more (feat. Bharat Misra) | BW Catch-up

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. Plus a look ahead to Bharat, Article 15 and the extreme hypocrisy of Kabir Singh. Also maybe the first ever analysis of Woody Allen in a Bollywood podcast.

13: Karwaan | BW Catch-up
