Listen "Gehraiyaan"
Episode Synopsis
Just because they sold Gehraiyaan as an intense romantic drama doesn’t mean it actually is one.
We discuss the completely bonkers final act twist in director Shakun Batra’s new film—out on Amazon Prime Video—and how it derails a perfectly fine story about millennial love.
We also delve into the performances of its three central stars—Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday—as well as Batra’s handling of themes he’s never quite messed around with before.
