For this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with the filmmaker whose movies I've been watching since childhood, the films that have inspired me throughout the years, the G.O.A.T - Mr. Shyam Benegal. Witnessing the man whose contribution to Hindi cinema is nothing short of a legacy, who discovered gems like Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Shabana Azmi and many more, truly felt like a dream come true! I delved into discussions about his acclaimed creations like Mandi and Bharat Ek Khoj, Directors like Guru Dutt, Satyajit Ray, the political landscape of the '70s till the Emergency, his fanciest meal and whether or not he’s a boring man. From talking about his favourite drink to tales of envy, nostalgia & navigating fame, Shyam Benegal holds nothing back. He even shared his opinions(and love) on Jawaharlal Nehru, his favourite Indian films, whether he prefers Coppola or Scorsese, and why he agreed to this interview (or did he??) I’m excited to present one of my favourite interviews, where art, nostalgia, and contemporary topics intertwine beautifully.

For this episode, I flew to the city of joy only to fanboy around the incredible Shoojit Sircar at his Kolkata home. From discussing his films and anecdotes from his sets to how he plays cameraperson in all his films, from constipation to smoking, from Amitabh Bachchan to Irrfan, from his love for Rajma Chawal to him being a ‘Jat-Bengali’, not to forget the football game that we played, we hardly left any topic (or activity) undiscussed! We discussed how he landed his first directorial gig after his hotel job in Delhi, his close relationship with elephants, Bollywood’s Parninda Parcharcha (or PNPC as he calls it) and why he lives in Kolkata after all, I got all the tea *ahem ahem* that I could. Presenting to you, my goofiest, coolest, most gratifying conversations ever! Unfiltered by Samdish ft. Shoojit Sircar (aka Unleashing the Brilliance of Shoojit Sircar: Exclusive Unfiltered Conversation)

For this episode, I sat down with the “Badass Babuaa” Mr. Rajkummar Rao and we got into a heartwarming conversation in the thodi-thodi thandi, thodi-thodi garmi kinda mahaul aka autumn of Delhi. We talked our hearts out about his first film with Dibakar Banerjee, Anurag Basu’s set, FTII days, losing his mother and his undying love for her, his dream girl and his first play's “Afsos”. I didn't let him go until he gave me a lot of scoop about Ambani’s wedding, WWE, John Cena ka bhangra, Bret Hart aur Hulk Hogan ka lafda, Boogie Woogie’s audition, monkey man in Delhi… and what not. Oh man! It was fun. Sharing the fun with you, presenting Mauj Masti by Samdish ft. Rajkummar Rao
