Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 36 ratings
  • Great listen

    It’s so nice to hear people speak so passionately about previous eras of Hindi film. Given we are a film obsessed country, it’s bizarre that there are so few podcasts covering the classics. It’s not a particularly technical or analytical show, more like a conversation over chai with friends
