The Awful & Awesome Entertainment Wrap
Ep 133: Saand Ki Aankh, Puma ad, Dabbang 3, and more
•
In this episode of The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap, Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the film Saand Ki Aankh, which hit theatres last Friday. “Tushar Hiranandani, whose directorial debut this is, demonstrated that it is clearly his directorial debut because I think this material under a more adept director would have made a fantastic film,” Abhinandan says.
They also discuss interesting advertisements they watched recently. One is an ad by an Australian insurance company featuring Domuts, donuts for dogs. Both Abinandan and Rajyasree agree that it was definitely worth a watch. Another ad that caught their eye is the Puma ad featuring Indian sportswomen such as Mary Kom, Dutee Chand. “I thought it was a very cool jingle, but one can’t help but compare it to the previous Nike commercials,” says Abhinandan. Rajyasree complains that the production quality of the ad is bad.
A special episode of the Netflix show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman featuring Shah Rukh Khan is a topic of discussion as well. “This is by far one of the worst interviews of SRK I have seen and he is an extremely interesting interviewee,” Rajyasree says.
They also review the Dabbang 3 trailer and agree that it all but gives away the gist of the film. So one doesn’t need to watch the film when it releases.
