While talking about the film Sardar Udham, a chair caught Abhinandan’s eye:
Rajyasree: It’s so gripping, the way they shot it. But then...
Abhinandan: Who broke that chair? Why is that chair bent? Who sat on it?
Rajyasree: Not me!
Abhinandan: Sorry! So, a chair caught my eye which is bent and I was just worried we have to buy another chair. But, there’s another chair there, so there are three nice chairs. So, three chairs for Newslaundry!!! Hip hip...
Rajyasree: If y’all don’t support Newslaundry by the end of all the lawsuits, they’ll only be three chairs.
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen are joined by Ronnie Lahiri, producer of the film Sardar Udham, to discuss the film. Abhinandan and Rajyasree also review the film Rashmi Rocket; Dabur’s Karwa Chauth ad controversy; the CEAT ad controversy; and the death of Halyna Hutchins.
