Episode 101: Baazi

from Exploding Helicopter Hosted by Exploding Helicopter

“Can anyone douse the fire of truth?” We make a return to the world of Bollywood action cinema to review BAAZI (1995), a film that could, most politely be described as, being ‘inspired’ by Die Hard. Not to mention borrowing scenes from half-a-dozen other action films. Our guest on this show is Asim Burney from the Khandaan podcast. We try and pin down just how many films Baazi ripped off, the career of its star Aamir Khan, and an exploding helicopter that may be one of the most embarrassing ever committed to film. Show notes Baazi (1995) Director: Ashutosh Gowariker Cast: Aamir Khan, Mamta Kulkarni, Paresh Rawal Plot: A tough police officer wages a one-man war against terrorists and a corrupt politician who have planned to assassinate a top government official. Episode 101.

We are Aimee Duroux and Geena Schwartz - two out and proud fans of The Bachelor Australia Franchise and your hosts of Love Bachually. We’re out to prove that The Bachelor isn’t a ridiculous TV show and gone are the days of labelling it as a guilty pleasure. Like a private orchestra on the first date, you’ll be delighted, confused and overwhelmed alongside us as we try to piece together the drama and fairytale romance that is the Bachelor. We’ll be diving deep into the politics of the show as well. How much of what we think is influenced by the way a person, date or cocktail party is edited? Are these healthy behaviours? Will we ever find love in a hopeless place? So can you become smarter by being invested in the Bach? Definitely, maybe. At the end of the day, we’re just two girls here for the right
