Awful and Awesome Ep 228: Squid Game, House of Secrets, Break Point

While talking about the documentary series Break Point:

Rajyasree: The two people who had directed it are the same people who directed Panga and Dangal.

Abhinandan: If you mix the two movies, if you watch the first part of Panga and the second part of Dangal, it will become Pangal.

Rajyasree: (sarcastically) It’s a good joke.

Abhinandan: I think it’s better than yours. It’s at least 5.5/10.

Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.

This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review Netflix's Korean drama web series Squid Game; and documentary series Break Point and House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths. They also discuss the new trailer of Batman; the Cred ad featuring Kapil Dev; and the Fabindia controversy.

PS: Abhinandan sings a new version of Aati Kya Khandala.
