Bollywood Weekly

Bollywood Weekly is India's first ever podcast dedicated to Bollywood. Every week, we review the latest big theatrical release, and also provide views, opinions and random observations about the latest films, trailers, industry news, digital media and other relevant topics. Thoda funny or light-hearted rakhne ki bhi koshish kartein hain! There is only rule: no gossip, rumors, who’s dating who or any of that! We only focus on the things that matter - the movies themselves.

Host Aditya Pisharody and Satyen Rao descend into the depths of Paatal Lok...and come out the other side immensely satisfied. A slick, intense, gripping crime thriller that is possibly the best show yet out of India's growing OTT boom.

Is Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's WAR actually an ode to love? Host Aditya Pisharody is joined by Satyen and Devika to de-construct the undeniable sexual tension between the two male leads in WAR. With the help of well-executed action sequences and Abbas-Mustan level plot twists, the biggest box office success of 2019 is actually a fun watch.

Why Om Shanti Om is the perfect thing to watch while in self-quarantine - entertaining, nostalgic and possibly even more relevant today than when it released. Host Aditya Pisharody explains why the film is ahead of its time, and possibly doesn't get the dues it deserve.

Aditya Pisharody and Satyen Rao re-live the scarcely believable scenes of Housefull 4 - as Satyen tries (in vain) to justify the existence of this film. From casual sexism to continuity errors, amid intense speculation about the existence or lack thereof of the film's script - the Housefull franchise continues to boggle the mind.

Also featuring trailer round-ups of Drive, Pagalpanti and Motichoor Chaknachoor - with a ...

Why host Aditya Pisharody thinks that 'The Sky is Pink' is possibly the best film of 2019, despite what the critics will have you believe. A wonderfully well-crafted narrative which manages to stay light-hearted even when dealing with an emotionally draining subject matter.

Arjun kare toh theek, Kabir kare toh character dheela hai? Host Aditya Pisharody welcomes back Bharat Misra to discuss why Kabir Singh, despite being a nearly frame-by-frame re-make suffers in comparison to Arjun Reddy - as well as the outrage surrounding the film. Also featuring Bharat's growing social media following.

Host Aditya Pisharody invites self-confessed SRK fan Bharat Misra to try and make sense of Zero - a frankly puzzling film. Along the way, they discuss SRK's influence on films as a producer, why Katrina Kaif was the best part of the move and speculate why all Bollywood actors have static hair. No, really.

A movie that tried to do so much that it didn't do anything - we run the rule over 'Kalank', a 90s SRK film by Dharma masquerading as a wannabe SLB epic.

This week, the pod ponders the mysteries of Bollywood - specifically why the makers of Badla chose to abandon a solid whodunnit and go full 'Race' mode with their plot twists? Other fun topics include Delhi Crime, Delhi accents, and the Kalank time warp. Also, we have a completely unbiased, noncontroversial political discussion around the Narendra Modi film - nothing to see here....

The podcast is back! We discuss the 2 first releases of the year, Accidental PM and Uri - two movies with the same large objective but opposite in every other way. We talk about why Uri was so great and why Accidental PM was effectively a 2 hour SNL episode - and of course talk about the big election-shaped elephant in the room.

Why Sui Dhaaga grows on you as you keep watching, and could have been a much better film with a tighter first half. Also, we discuss 'Thugs of Hindostan' blatantly ripping off Pirates, and Ayushmann Khurana's box office prowess.
