In this episode, we present to you, our reimagination of a biopic that captures the majesty of our superhero, God emperor Nanduji who's life is a parable for all of us, with love, anger, conviction and sacrifice for Bharat Mata. In this, the first part of the story, we capture the rise of the young prodigal son who'd later go on to become the savior of the masses.

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.

In this episode, we are joined by science fiction writer @vimoh in a free-wheeling conversation where he talks about his journey from being a BJP supporter in the past to a vocal critic of the government today.
