Thankyou cyrus For this...i am a 16 year old who loves everything about Gurudutt and his filmmaking..and especially as I've known how deeply has NMK has researched on Dutt sahab.I have read her books multiple times, I hope someday I'll meet her because I am a big fan of hers!! She's just so gracious and knowledgeable ❤

[@karansethi9151]

Nasreen Munni Kabir is brilliant and quite erudite. I'd go so far as to consider her a film scholar, would love to hear her again. Her knowledge of film is vast not and not only from her youth but also today, not to mention her knowledge base is so vast that it even extends to outside India. I could listen to her all day.

[@neilmisquitta4825]

There is an old world kind of charm that she exudes…a pleasure watching this podcast

[@rohithal1]

Frankly speaking I did not know the personality much however it was fantastic/informative interview ! very interesting details on subtitles and interviewing celebrities!

[@leelakapoor8852]

Such an eloquent lady! Delight for ears!

[@IndoPakCanvas]

Nasreen Munni is an infinite resource of not just knowledge of cinema but speaks so eloquently and with such sequence and relevence that it's actually stunning. I don't mean for her age either.... at any age! Superb, Cyrus! I'm tempted to say that I am proud of you! Hahaha. More success to you for your good intentions ;~]

[@mylifeonearth704]

it was such a wholesome and pleasant episode. only possible with an person who is very *honest* , *loves their work* , and very sweet . im in love with "munni" ma'am. thank you cyrus and team. for introducing us with personality, we should know before we die. who would've thunk, we've got "javed akhter" of subtitles, too. ❤

46:37 - Among the many pearls of wisdom straight out of the mouth of class personified, Ms. Nasreen Munni Kabir, … “You can’t flatten the culture when you do subtitles”

[@devs2790]

Outstanding interview!! 👏 Absolutely great guest and Cyrus and Abbas bringing their A game 😊 I look forward to reading Nasreen’s books.

[@riteshkoul7617]

i wish they had talked about last days of Gurudutt. One of the best

[@murtuzaali5015]

39:12 another example why Guru Dutt songs felt integrated with the story: Jaane wo kaise log the jinke pyaar ku pyaar mila from Pyaasa. No initial music, the song directly starts from the lyrics.

[@cinemaspeaktoday]

Thanks for this interview ..gem for movie buffs

[@mikiaulakh]

Cyrus and Abbas, this is one of your best podcast interview. Keep it up!

[@abbasmomin]

Thank you!

[@birdtrails]

Nasreen is just so brilliant and full of enthusiasm. Kudos for bringing her in and importantly making space for her to express fully.

[@epiphany.is.my.epithet]

What a great episode!!! Her intellect is on another level!!! And she knows good humor too. Perfectly balanced episode of trivia and jokes.

[@ghostriderparag]

Cyrus was so respectful and disciplined throughout this interview. He has evolved quite a lot this year in particular. Such a great episode. Loved Nasreens insights and observations about the classic Bollywood era.

[@raja-jl9os]

How old she's

[@RanjaniSivakumar]

So articulate and thorough about film as a subject. Enjoyed this interview.

Watched Merry Christmas today, fdfs! And then came back and watched this episode. What a brilliant subtitle writer she is. Great pod!

[@Khushi-de8yk]

the guests are always so good that I always want part 2

Suggestions for Nasreenji for next projects : 1. Mahmood 2. Hrishikesh Mukharji 3. Rajendra (Jubilee Kumar) 4. Dharmendra 5. Jeetendra

Super interview , she needs to be back for a Part 2....I could see Abbas in a trance😂

I remember when Sharara sharara became a hit. The singer would sing, "sharara sharara....sharara sharara.." ..and subtitle would just say "SPARK"

[@The_Couch_Critic]

Brilliant guest, how insightful and poised. She'd write on Amitabh Bacchan and Dharmendra next. They are the last of superstar eras which made an impact on masses and saw the transition across eras. Yes, Waheeda Rehman, Zeenat Aman, Vikrant Masey, Shahid Kapur, Boman Irani, Anupam Kher would be some interesting guests too. And Special shout out to Cyrus to call out the bigotry on Happy Birthday wishes hoardings...I can't hate them enough and all the glossed over pics of top loosers

[@cynicmax]

One of the best episodes. What a Personality! ❤

[@ganeshthakur4580]

munni - first indian film i saw was aan cyrus - aan is french for aunt munni - no it actually means pride cryus - yeah 😢 it’s funny how munni took everything literally

Would love to watch them, NOT the SRK documentary which I have seen and it’s average
