This Session
A discussion on the way the role of the male lead in Bollywood Films has evolved from the 70s to modern day. What are the tropes that Bollywood lead male actors fell into, and how did the evoling definition of masculinity change the ways in which male leads expressed themselves throughout the ages? We'll talk the 90s, where it was all about the machismo to the pivotal change that took place in films of the late 2010s where we started seeing the lead male take a backseat to the lead female 

About Cultured or Nah?
A podcast about understanding the truisms inherent in desiness. We (probably) talk about the stuff your mom and dad won't. Ever been curious about what South Asians in other countries are like - or why they might actually be different from you? Ever wondered about the increasing role of the South Asian American electorate, or about why we're seeing more brown faces in mainstream media today? Perhaps you've even wondered why you've been born into a religious identity when it seems our non-desi peers don't have the same experience. Join us as we discuss these and other topics, and dive deep into the root causes of why things are the way they are. We won't always have the answers, but we do love to discuss it!
