•
On this episode of Awful and Awesome, Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss plus-size Model Tess Holliday’s Cosmo cover, Manto, Serial the podcast and more.
The Cosmo cover with Holliday created quite a lot of stir in the media. Abhinandan and Rajyasree discuss the reactions it has elicited. Rajyasree talks about Twinkle Khanna’s book, Pajamas are Forgiving and compares Twinkle with Chetan Bhagat in the context of their writing style.
The two, then, talk about Manto directed by Nandita Das. Abhinandan didn’t quite like the music in the movie, especially the song by Raftar. Abhinandan feels that Manto, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, deserved a better film. Rajyasree compares the film with ‘poorly made school play’.
Moving on, Rajyasree speaks about a new show called Side Hero, starring Kunaal Roy Kapur and directed by Rohan Sippy, and why it’s worth a watch. Abhinandan talks about the third season of the podcast, Serial. He talks about the art of storytelling and also adds that he didn’t find this season as compelling as the last ones. Tune in to find out more.
