Malayankunju, The Most Hated Man on the Internet | Awful and Awesome Ep 264

While talking about the Malayalam film Malayankunju:
Nidhi: Why haven’t you made a Mallu playlist then? You only made a Punjabi playlist...Or you’re singing all the time to Punjabi music.
Abhinandan: Yeah, I sing Punjabi music all the time.
Nidhi: You’ve never put any effort to learn or sing.
Abhinandan: I don’t understand Malayalam.
Nidhi: Haven’t you ever had a Mallu girlfriend? Everyone in Delhi has had a Mallu girlfriend.
Abhinandan: (tries to ignore the question) Can't we just stick to the...
Abhinandan and Nidhi burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Nidhi Suresh review the films Malayankunju and The Worst Person in the World; docu-series The Most Hated Man on the Internet; the song Kesariya from the movie Brahmāstra; and Kurkure and Cadbury’s new ads. Abhinandan also asks Nidhi why she watches Koffee With Karan.
PS. Nidhi gives Abhinandan some Malayalam lessons.

Nidhi, can she continue in this segment as well? I am really hooked

[@mray4987]

I second this🙌

[@aamirkhan943]

I don't think that Rajshri woman will let Nidhi take up any of her limelight.

[@tingneihatkuki8337]

Nidhi brings in a different and interesting perspective to the show. I definitely love this episode.

"Pazham" and "Kozhi", the most used words by malayalis to take a dig at Non-malayalis.

[@tussharsasi9747]

My goodness!! Malayankunju does not mean 'SON OF THE MOUNTAINS'. It roughly means 'DALIT BABY'. 'Malayan' is a Scheduled Tribe identified to be native to Kerala. The word, much like 'Pulayan', is widely used as an insult to those who belong to SC/ST communities. If you watch the film, you would know. Please do some basic homework before releasing videos like this.

[@breakingbad7]

Have you ever thought why this tribe got the name 'Malayan' ??

[@tussharsasi9747]

@@breakingbad7 Yes, as a native Malayali, I do know that. Her translation of the film's name is wrong in the film's context. It does not refer to the man (FaFa) but the 28-days-old female child who is the co-protagonist ('Kunju' is a gender-neutral term for a child).

The great Indian kitchen has a different ending because the man gets remarried and it is business as usual. In Arth when the husband says take me back the wife says if I had done it would you have taken me back. There is silence from the husband. Then of course she does not go with the younger man either and decides to carve a path for herself.

Great to have Nidhi in this space. Hope she returns regularly

Nidhi is much better than Rajshri. Please continue. Nidhis voice and intonation is so confident and she's a fresh Breeze of air. She's articulate, intelligent and so refreshing to hear. I hope Abhinandan is compensating her well. Please bring her to NL Hafta, as some one who pays for his subscription, replace Jayshree with Nidhi in the NL Hafta. Her knowledge and breadth of analysis will give NL Hafta a big lift. She'll make it very big! Well done the best Nidhi in the world of Indian journalism.

[@PrashantProhit]

I had stopped watching this kne from Newslaundry because if the banal discussion. Pardon me for being this direct, but Nidhi has brought the change Newslaundry stands for.

[@swaroopscreen1]

Nidhi, Your boss Abhinandan is right. You are drinking lots of coffee with Mr. Kjo. Hence your understanding of cinema is very peripheral.

How can Nidhi do not recall Soubin Shahir's name.

[@ragsbigfella]

Hello Abhinandan, I am a subscriber of NL. I have a few things to share. Bahubali is a Telugu movie and not a Kannada movie. You had added Lucia(kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppisfWV-YrSXmaM) Kannada movie to your list of movies to watch a couple of years back. Till now, there is no review from you or Rajyasree. I know you love Mallu movies. I appreciate that. But sometimes you need to look beyond Mallu, English and Hindi movies, and go through the list of movies you had compiled.

[@rahulsaxena5192]

Nidhi brings a refreshing energy to the show, more so when she is free to not consider Abhinandan as her boss on the show. We should have more of this fun session.

Nidhi has a really interesting take on these things, she should be a part of this podcast more often.

[@patrickpaul1828]

The thing that strikes in the most hated man and is relevant to your dhulai against news in India is that both hunter Moore and news anchors know what the people want in this age and catered to them very well!other than raising ourselves on a moral or civic elitist platform, i guess it will do better to discuss how we can systematically bring about critical thinking and collective responsibility... An entertainment wrap too can educate us on critical thinking

Now you'll get hate from both Kannada and Telugu movie goers 😀 Rajamouli is a Telugu movie maker not of Kannada movie industry.

[@bharathh.c5440]

I was just going to comment the same. 😂

[@lonewolfe2502]

Who cares? His movies are overrated to be honest. I mean soldiers jumping on fort with the help of palm tree. 😂 And the casting of Britishers in the RRR was so bad that their acting almost made me puke. Screenplay was also really bad in certain scenes. I am not saying that he's a bad director but I also think he's not that great also that many fans consider him to be.

Why isn't Madhu Trehan in newslaundry now ?? I like her and not Abhinandan Shekhri. Abhinandan has very rigid mindset and he'll probably put his own opinion over truth. Madhu Trehan and Karan Thapar would put Truth first - over anything, even themselves. Very admirable people.

The fact that you guys couldn't even differentiate between Kannada & Telugu Film industries is so irritating to say the least. First of all, Rajamouli is a Telugu movie director & not of Kannada. Then you say- Kannadiga audience have sent you hate messages for saying like Kannada movies are very much like Bollywood movies. I think you are totally getting confused with Telugu industry. I can understand you Abhinandan to get confused between the two languages considering you are a typical North Indian but even for Nidhi to not correct you & say that even she doesn't watch "Kannada" movies when the reference was clearly to Rajamouli is really sad. Kindly do not be so indifferent towards South Indian languages & culture.
