The Awful & Awesome Entertainment Wrap

Ep 88- #MeToo, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, Banksy’s Painting And More

On this week's episode, hosts Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri talk about the #MeToo movement, anonymous artist Banksy's painting, and Shweta Bachchan Nanda's new book. The duo also reviews the movie Andhadhun as well as talk about Operation Finale. Rajyasree thinks that the movie Operation Finale—based on the nail-biting Mossad operation— is a treat to watch. “The way they script their films is very impressive,” she said. Moving on to Bollywood, the hosts discuss the movie Andhadhun. Abhinandan praises Ayushmann Khuranna's acting and points out how contemporary cinema is effectively utilising the supporting cast to uplift the whole movie. Next, Rajyasree interviews Shweta Bachchan Nanda on her new book Paradise Towers. “It is better than Twinkle Khanna's book and is a light, breezy read,” she said. Moving forward, Abhinandan speaks about the MeToo movement and both hosts go on to discuss how it has spread like wildfire—from Bollywood to Media houses— as well as its implications and impact on different industries. The anonymous artist Banksy's painting—a video of which recently went viral after it ‘self-destructed’ at an auction—is discussed next, and both hosts don’t really seem convinced about the authenticity of the incident. Tune in to listen to more.
