BONUS EPISODE - PK

This week, we watch the 2014 smash hit (in India/China) that broke all the records for Indian Cinema at the time. Aamir Khan is as comedic as he’s ever been in this hilarious tale of an alien getting stuck on earth. Even if in the last 30 minutes the film becomes a little too preachy for our tastes, this film is totally worth a watch if you’re looking for a good 2 hours of laughs, and can be found on Netflix. PK (2014), directed by Rajkumar Hirani.

BONUS EPISODE - Dangal

This week, we watch the highest grossing Indian film ever made. Currently sitting in the top 100 movies of all time, we keep the Aamir Khan train going (star of 3 Idiots and Lagaan) with this epic true-ish story of a father who teaches wrestling to his daughters, and how they made history for women in India. Dangal (2016), directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

Episode 105 - 3 Idiots

This week, we watch the Indian film that broke through to Chinese audiences for the first time, with positive messages on education, pressure, choice, marriage, and suicide. This film successfully tackles very serious topics, while remaining funny for its nearly 3 hour runtime. Aamir Khan steals the show as Rancho. All is well! 3 Idiots (2009), directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
