The Great, Good, and Garbage Men of Bollywood in 2023 | Animal 🤬| Sam Bahadur 🥱| 12th Fail 🥲 #110

Taking a cue from recent Bollywood releases, we have decided to leave our latest episode unedited. So get ready for the most extensive discussion on Sandeep Reddy Vanga's hollow provocations in "Animal," the most accurate Sanjeet impression (courtesy Aryan) as we collectively gush about Vidhu Vinod Chopra's uplifting "12th Fail," and the most detailed breakdown of Meghna Gulzar's insipid "Sam Bahadur" by a podcast regular who has a personal connection with the subject matter. Providing necessary order to this otherwise chaotic discussion between four men about three Bollywood men is another QID regular -- Ahendrila. Extending our discussion beyond the text, she helps us situate the role these films play (and will continue to play) within the broader socio-political Indian context. You can guess which film is talked about most here. But, we promise the "Animal" fans that there is a dedicated attempt to also pick out positives in a film that largely didn't work for any of us. Do listen to the full, spoiler-filled episode to hear our detailed thoughts on all three films!
