Did we like Dhurandhar? Aditya Dhar's spy thriller everyone’s arguing about
With Dhurandhar stirring up equal parts excitement, criticism, and speculation, we dive into what the film is actually doing, from its massive three-hour-plus scale to the way it blends nationalism, espionage, and high-gloss Bollywood action.

We talk about the performances that anchor the story — Ranveer Singh’s brooding intensity, Akshaye Khanna’s villain avatar, Sanjay Dutt's screen presence, and Arjun Rampal's charisma , and where the film lands when it comes to storytelling, politics, and spectacle. We also look at the conversations around female representation, real-world inspiration, and why this movie seems to divide audiences as much as it thrills them.

Threaded through all of this is a simple question: what makes a blockbuster work today, and is Dhurandhar reaching for something bigger than its genre?

Stranger Things, Sunny Sanskari, Tere Ishk Mein: Should you watch or just take a nap?
Stranger Things 5 has the Internet in a chokehold, so of course, we dissect every upside-down detail (without any spoilers), including our unhinged predictions for Volumes 1 and 2 dropping on December 25 and 31. Then we dive into Dharma’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, now streaming on Netflix, to find out whether Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf won our hearts or the movie tested our patience.

Next up is Aanand L Rai’s Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, which sends us spiraling into a debate on toxicity, romance, and the most-discussed question, "what do women actually want?" and why does Bollywood keep getting it wrong?

We wrap the episode up by paying tribute to the legendary Dharmendra and sharing our all-time favourite films of the He-Man.

Are you nerdy enough?
In this episode we try to figure out if 'we are nerdy enough' through a game based on a recent Instagram trend. It tests our nerdy-ness on a scale of 'Kanda lelo' to 'the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires'.

Not to forget, we are fans of situational comedies, romantic comedies, horror comedies and....if you didn't guess it.....COMEDY. So, we laugh over some of our favorite comedy scene from Big Bang Theory to Sarabhai vs Sarabhai.

And if we talk about comedy, we cannot not talk about our most cherished comics.

So, join us in this laugh riot of an conversation....where we realise, we do not even have a PLA.

Fashion influence: From The Devil Wears Prada's work outfits to YJHD wedding fits
With the Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser out, we revisit how office dressing has shifted. We also look at wedding fashion and the negotiation of personal taste, trends, and tradition.

We talk about the iconic Bollywood looks that still shape how we dress, from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’s effortless travel-and-wedding fits to Kate Hudson's iconic yellow dress from How to lose a guy in 10 days. 

Threaded through all of this is the politics of dressing. What influences us, what we internalise, and how our clothes speak even when we don’t.

Are Kajol & Twinkle A-OK with cheating? Nobody Wants This! Or, do they?
A controversy was born when, on Two Much, the celebrity hosts, Kajol and Twinkle, claimed that emotional cheating might actually be worse than physical cheating, and suddenly everybody from Gen-Z to your neighboring aunty had opinions. What followed was a week’s worth of Reddit threads, group-chat essays, and midnight rant-texts dissecting the difference between a wandering eye and a wandering heart.

When not talking about the scandalous actors-cum-hosts, all anybody wants to talk about is Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, which serves up a refreshingly chaotic look at love, complete with moral blind spots, miscommunications, and the kind of “please don’t do this” romantic choices that make you pause the episode just to process. It is messy, honest, and relatable in all the ways modern love tends to be.

In this episode, Niharika, Aishwarya, and Shruti talk about how normalised cheating has become, whether the Bollywood rumour mill is true, ick factors & dating disasters among other things.

Queens of the Cup, King Khan, legacy of our artists & Mamdani's Moment
We are deep in our feel-good era! The Indian women’s cricket team brought home the World Cup. Girl power? More like world power. Shah Rukh Khan turned 60 and the nation collectively sighed, swooned, and whispered “palat,” and Zohran Mamdani just won New York, celebrating with Dhoom Machale blasting (because of course he did!). We also raise a toast to the icons who raised us — Asrani, Piyush Pandey, and Satish Shah, our forever Indravardhan Sarabhai.

Nepotism done right? Aryan Khan & The Ba***ds of Bollywood
Aryan Khan’s Netflix debut The Ba**ds of Bollywood has the internet divided and delighted with even Shashi Tharoor calling it a “masterpiece of sharp writing and fearless direction.” In this episode, Niharika, Aishwarya, and Shruti dive into the murky waters of the Great Nepotism Debate, while dissecting and discussing the series, which is a satire on the industry by an industry insider itself. We unpack what happens when nepotism meets self-awareness, and whether Aryan Khan might just have pulled off the ultimate Bollywood plot twist: nepotism done right.

The sequel syndrome: Why we keep coming back for more
From Hangover 2's recycled chaos to Wednesday’s rebooted charm, Hollywood and Bollywood both love to serve us stories we have already met, just with a twist. In this episode, Niharika, Aishwarya, and Shruti decode our obsession with sequels, spin-offs, and reboots, and ask: does the law of diminishing returns apply to entertainment, or are we wired to fall for the familiar?

Why do we keep going back to Modern Family and F.R.I.E.N.D.S.- Comfort Rewatches
Why do you binge watch TV shows like Modern Family, F.R.I.E.N.D.S., Sarabhai VS Sarabhai and movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? In this episode, hosts Niharika, Aishwarya and Shruti discuss that even though today we have so many options of new content to choose from, people choose to go back to certain shows and movies that they have already watched before, and what makes such content - Comfort Rewatches.
