In this episode of BJPod, we begin with how #JusticeforSSR became #JusticeforKangana. We quickly move on to talking of oversimplification in Indian movies and pick out characters from three movies -- Pardes, Naayak and RDB.
On the scale of Barjatiya to Johar, where does the Ghai-verse lie?
Is Bauji in Pardes an upgrade of the DDLJ bauji?
We then talk of how the worldview of protagonists in films like Nayak fails to account for systemic evils other than financial corruption. Is Anil Kapoor in Nayak Kejru?
In the final lap of the episode, we discuss how even an exceptional cinematic experience like RDB also treats these issues on a very superficial scale.
