  • Shallow

    Just heard a few of the Has It Aged Well episodes and the hosts firstly laugh for no reason. Their knowledge of Hindi cinema is very restricted and definitely they are not worthy of critiquing some of the movies

  • Fun and Relaxing

    Urjita and Abbas are like two sides of my personality—one thrives on the contemporary, while the other craves for nostalgia! Love this film podcast for its fun and relaxing tone…in fact, I ended up subscribing to Amazon Music to hear the episodes as soon as they drop. 😊

    Starting from Has It Aged Well with Abbas and Urjita, which takes us on a nostalgia trip of old movies and makes us revisit them with today’s lens, along with awesome banter and well thought out guests for each movie.

    Then they have Just a Filmy Game Show with Antariksh. What pure fun! The quiz rounds are designed very well and it is awesome to play along.. Again the guests and the banter makes it even better.
