The Awful & Awesome Entertainment Wrap

In this episode of The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap, hosts Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen talk about an episode of Man vs Wild featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Netflix series The Family, a controversy which involves Priyanka Chopra, Due Date, and an interview Abhinandan conducts with Vanita Kohli-Khandekar, author of The Making of Star India. The podcast kicks off with the Man vs Wild episode featuring Narendra Modi. Rajyasree thinks it's the tamest episode of Man vs Wild ever. She says, “The episode should not have been shot in Corbett National Park since the others were shot in the wild, not in the tame parts of the wild.” Up next is the film Due Date starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. Abhinandan says: “The film has a promising start and had its moments but wasn’t very funny. So I was a little disappointed and was not thrilled with the film.” Abhinandan then interviews Vanita Kohli-Khandekar, a media specialist who tracks the entertainment business. They discuss Vanita's book The Making of Star India which is about the gripping story of the company that shaped the Indian media and entertainment business. Abhinandan says, “What Star has done for Indian television entertainment is like what Michael Jackson did for music television.” Rajyasree then recommends two Hollywood-inspired Hindi films, Khoon Bhari Maang and Masoom, while Abhinandan recommends a Punjabi song.
