Cinema of Rajkumar Hirani

In this very special episode specifically designed to counteract the negativity spread by two QID members on our KZbin Livestream, Dhruv and Aryan - two self-proclaimed Hiranites - talk about the director’s pre-“Dunki” and “Sanju” output to celebrate his contribution to contemporary Indian cinema. Aryan does bring up “Dunki” sadly to begin our discussion. But we swiftly move away from it to discuss the gloriously heartwarming, crowd-pleasing pleasures of the Munnabhai films, “3 Idiots,” and “PK.”
Listen to the full episode to hear us relive some of the film’s glorious moments while also making a case for the value of Hirani’s cinema of sincerity.
