Roasting Bollywood & Politics- W/ Abhijit Iyer Mitra - AP Podcast 108

[@JASIRORBOY]

I agree about Rang de Basanti.. It was purely a Laal Salam ideology movie

[@Q966aZxEWzmKLc8zBfMB]

I have always maintained it was part of an attempted color revolution (India against corruption). Thanks to wikileaks we now know the west funds songs, tv programs, and movies to influence public opinion. Even in the Bangladesh troubles, it has come out that Bangladeshi music artists were funded. It's only by god's grace that Kejriwal is too inept to actually grab the stage managed revolution handed to him on a platter.

[@Classic_MusicForever]

Such a politcally Incorrect person!! Abhijit is so Raw!! He just blasted truth after truth out of his mouth!! Amazing podcast. Its about time someone spoke about mediocrity, Wokeism and false narratives setting in the society. I think the discussion would have scaled had it been Ranveer TRS as the host

[@manishkanojia7497]

Host didn’t knew nothing about almost all the topics discussed here. Quite shocking he didn’t knew who the first women president of India was. Patil took some very remarkable decisions in her tenure. Most of the time Abhijit said something, the host starts speaking in between and goes totally in opposite direction where Abhijit was going, then Abhijit had to say no not that, Example: when they were talking about who goes to see politicians nowadays.

[@GajananSingh9567]

Pratibha was the worst president out there

[@AnweshSatpathy]

What is shocking perhaps is that he kept talking so much about movies and pop culture yet seemed to know so little of even that! Couldn't even recall the name of freaking Morgan Freeman or Forrest Whitaker.

[@manishkanojia7497]

@ this simply shows that everyone with a mic and a setup can’t make a good podcast.

[@natalkumar6132]

He knows. He doesn't tell her name as he always references her to prevent Libel.

[@vn_1]

it is not a stamp of intelligence or competence.

[@raghuvamsi9070]

🤣🤣Abhijit doesn't like or watch fiction movies but he feels most movies are shit. Exactly like he said, people don't want to see reality, they want to feel entertained. Indian Cinema is doing good in that aspect. BTW Bahubali is Fictional folklore story inspired by Story treatment of Chandamama magazine stories which is very famous telugu magazine.

[@mayankindian3750]

Indian cinema is quantity industry not quality industry ok bro 😊

[@raghuvamsi9070]

@mayankindian3750 That I agree with. But they are entertaining the people. So, it isn't as bad as he potrays.

I don't think abhijit is a 'know it all' especially when it comes to the art of cinematography. I can never take a guy seriously who says that the best movie ever made by bollywood is that meme movie with shakti kapoor in it.

[@badlav120]

Whatever rang de Basanti was but somehow it highlights the Indian air force fighter jet issue . We are still using mig 21 .

[@premektha]

The MIG21 issue is not the point. That issue is how subtly terrorism was supported in the guise of our great freedom fighters. Showing how pathetic Hindus are, the politician with a huge Tilak is a bad one, and this came just after BJP lost the elections to portray what else. So it's not thr matter of mig 21. It's the propaganda behind the movie that subtly brain washes people

[@ameytiwari1247]

27:54 I was also thinking this same thing for quite some time that you can't create new Gods anymore but hearing it from you, AIM, I took it as a challenge to figure out a way to do it and you know what? You still can create new gods but there will be a fundamental difference from all the Gods that came before. And that is all the Previous Gods were in some form or kind God of Mircales, be it Christ or Krishna both are said to have done extraordinary things/miracles be it walking on water or lifting up Govardhan. The new Gods must be Gods of Realism, i.e. the mythology and theology should be such that there is no reason for them to perform miracles and every reason for them to be as human as possible. Ram is still possible, even if Krishna isn't

A lot has been said about Suchr balaji and his parents have very vocal regarding justice for suchir! It would be interesting to know what AI M has to say about Suchir Balaji and his ethical and brave ( some say he threw himself under the bus for what he believed in) Stand against open A I and suchir's case is not an open(pun not intended , rather incidental) and shut case (according to his parents and anyone who has some( just a bit of common sense) common sense)

Abhijeet's geopolitical analysis is bang on. It's actually refreshing. But I really don't get it when every other guy starts commenting on Hindi films. Stick to your area of specialization. If RDB was a shit film, why did it do so well at the box office. You need to say that it did not fit in with your thought process or ideology or whatever it is. Uri was spot on with its narrative. If you want to diss films, diss the bad ones and we have lots of them.

You have studied the literature too in 9-10, that doesn't mean you understand the finer aspects of it. I'm a CA and I didn't have great aptitude in science, so I don't understand it. We don't have to understand it if we are not interested in it whether it's 9-10 things or 1-2 things. You haven't answered my question though. What does it have to do with starting a podcast?

[@jaigagandeep.s5100]

I do agree mostly with Abhijit and disagree with a lot on this podcast . But nevertheless listening and interacting is nothing wrong . By the way Neely momo I take your views on movies lightly for example :- uri and bahubali because you are so depressed you can’t see the greater story that things convey . Also they might be whatever you think but Shakespeare and Charlie Chaplin are good stories and comedy . Edit :- Bahubali is not meant to be even quasi history it is just a story and a great one which a depressed guy like you can’t understand. Don’t take yourself seriously on movies .

*I'll try to address here what the interviewer couldn't get AIM to divulge* *for someone like AIM who goes to Vienna to enjoy Opera, is extremely well read and well traveled,* its easy to differentiate between entertainment & reality, good movie & bad movie and still stick with his original thought process instead of being swayed by the movie's impact However *the average Indian Stricken by unemployment, poverty, mismanagement, ignorance, politics, superstitions and general overpopulation cannot help but be conditioned and swayed by manufactured movies and TV content.* And it is the average Indian who is the target audience. The interviewer was looking for AIM to discuss on that *Since movies started getting categorized as successful based on box-office collection ONLY* cinema became all about collections, movies became a medium to showcase gimmicks/slapsticks of veteran actors whose sole purpose is to make money than to cater to the intellect or the art of movie making.
