This week we're covering the second half of the Netflix series Ba***ds of Bollywood. And even though we know now, we won't be revealing the letters behind those asterisks, because the twist is the best part of the season! We have to be real with you, dear listeners-- this one wasn't for us. And for the first time in a long time, maybe ever, we seem to totally disagree with most of the audience and critics! So please don't hate us for our harsh take, and know that we're keeping an open mind about season 2, whenever it may come. Like what you're hearing?

The Ba***ds of Bollywood, episodes 1-4
We've been talking for months about the directorial debut of SRK's son, Aryan Khan (and, frankly, so have many others). But we have to admit, we were a bit underwhelmed by the first four episode of Ba***ds of Bollywood. Here's hoping the second half of the series gets into the irreverant satire and sharp criticism we were expecting! But in the meantime, we're loving Lakshya and Manoj Pahwa, and not minding the random appearance of some of our industry faves. Ba***ds of Bollywood also stars Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Anya Singh, and Manish Chaudhari. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood.

Metro... In Dino
After several weeks looking to the past, we're settling back into 2025 with Metro... In Dino. The film follows several interwoven stories of couples at various life stages as they grapple with... infidelity. That's... pretty much it. Everyone is cheating in some way, shape, or form in this one. And yet the film isn't a thorough exploration of infidelity? We're not really sure what it is, but we certainly enjoyed discussing it. And we always love to see Aditya Roy Kapur, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, and Sara Ali Khan on our screens! Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh round out this ensemble cast. The film was written and directed by Anurag Basu. Like what you're hearing?

Deewaar
We're continuing our study of the Angry Young Man trope for one more week, this time with the 1975 classic, Deewaar! Unlike Sholay, this movie is rooted heavily in emotion, though we'd expect nothing less with Yash Chopra at the helm. Deewaar explores complex family dynamics while also sprinkling in some solid fight sequences and charming dance numbers. It stars Amitabh Bachchan (of course), Shashi Kapoor (and Kim apologizes for repeatedly mispronouncing his name), Nirupa Roy, Parveen Babi, and Neetu Singh. Like what you're hearing?

Angry Young Men
After watching our first 1970s Hindi flick last week, we needed to know more about the writers who defined that era. Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar created the Angry Young Man, and established tropes that still resonate in the industry today. This documentary, Angry Young Men, left us with almost many questions as answers. But we still enjoyed learning more about this formative chapter in Bollywood history, and you can bet this won't be our last Angry Young anything! Angry Young Men was directed by Namrata Rao.
