Rajyasree: In this week’s good news, there is a film that is not praising Modi-ji or bashing Pakistan which is being released, we were told. Abhinandan: Based on true events. Rajyasree: Ya, it's based on true events though. Abhinandan: In bad news, it is doing something that the other films are doing which is bashing Muslims. Rajyasree: But the good news is that the Muslim in question is my favourite, Salman Khan.  Abhinandan: But in bad news none of the actors of the film seem to know that it was gonna show Salman in a bad light.  Rajyasree: But in good news we don’t know what will happen now. Abhinandan: But in strange news, Salman says his permission was not taken to make this film. Rajyasree: But it could be fiction, they should just say it’s pure fiction. Why does he think Kala Hiran is about him? I would’ve said, “Sir, it is not about you.” Abhinandan: It could be about any Kala Hiran. Am I Kala or a Hiran? It could be based on you. This and a whole lot of awful and awesome in this special episode where Abhinandan and Rajyasree discuss Obsession and Raakh.Timecodes0:00 - World Cup updates3:00 News6:46 - Obsession 21:10 - Letters 28:12 - Raakh 36:19- Letters Click here to download the Newslaundry app on Android.
