It really feels good to know that things worked out for a genuine person and a genuine soul in this ghor Kaliyug. Arihant ji please bring Akshat ji back very soon.

    There is a disagreement on the point of adipurush movie 57:15 : I think major backlash iss movie pe VFX ko le kr na v hota.. agar the core ethos of various characters wouldn't have changed. Like Shree Ram ne revenge k lie nhi kia tha Ravan ka wadh.. and his character is shown to be revenge driven and not clam... Which contradicts his characters and what he represents. Same goes with every other character like ravan, hanuman etc. Streching characters real meaning in the name of art is what hindus can be against of. I think at the core it's that Bollywood still hasn't been really honest in making cinema and they think ki avi ye hindu right wing ki hawa chl rhi hai to ispe cash kr lete hain... Movies chlengi but they should present some honesty. Adi purush doesn't have that. And also, finally cheap and some what disrespectful marketing campaigns like hanuman ji k lie ek seat book kr dena in every theatre and if u criticize this movie that's directly means you are criticizing Ramji and Ramayana and our Dharma itself... These are also going to backfire. At the core of all it...ek achi honestly made nhi bnayi jaa rhi Bollywood se ..

    Agreed it's distortion done to characters. Ramji was epitome of Humanity. Kriti sanon doesn't look anywhere like Sita Maa. Moreover Sunny playing Hanuman doesn't seem to have any expression. Totally expressionless when Ram hugs Hanuman. Those moments are even in Hanuman Chalisa but actor is completely still. Ravan looks like he has a complex of some kind. But in reality Ravan was learned but Arrogant and devotee but Adharmi. That was his downfall. Also why is Pushpak Viman protrayed as Bat? That is complete mockery of Ancient Hindu intelligence.

    Those comments by Akshat on Adipurushh display the naivety of his understanding of "staying rooted in culture". Dhandodi log hain sabb. "Culture" is the new dhanda for them. New buzzword for them.

    Great podcast as always Arihant bhai, just throwing some suggestions if you haven’t already try to interview some Athletes, Travel vloggers, handicraft makers, farmers, young academics, local musicians, behind the scenes crew, bankers, working professionals, back to India returns, small startup owners, street vendors. Consider even if they want to remain anonymous. Your podcast is very down to earth and organic, nothing seems rushed and you are a great listener. Many talk in between and mess the flow of the speaker.
