The Long Take with Akhil, Rohan & Devika

2026年3月5日

关于这一集

Subedaar fools you into watching a ‘70s-style neo-Western about corruption and caste by presenting it as a South Indian remake.

We discuss Anil Kapoor’s refreshingly muted lead performance, the film’s pointed nods to John Wick, and whether its disguised social commentary makes up for its tonal missteps.

We also discuss Mona Singh and Aditya Rawal’s characters and who they represent in the context of contemporary India.

Samay Raina reveals his opportunistic soul in the self-aggrandising comedy special Still Alive.

The Odyssey

Dug Dug
