Bakarmax Baatcheet

About Bakarmax Baatcheet

In another desperate attempt to get more and more people to read Bakarmax, we present to you Bakarmax Baatcheet - a comic & animation podcast where we talk on subjects that are as varied as the comics on Bakarmax - from science fiction to Gulab Jamuns, shape-shifting tatti to daaru-shitting dwarfs and Tour De France winning Rickshawallahs. But Bakarmax Baatcheet is not just silly humour, it's a forum to discuss desi ideas, unexplored stories, adult animation and, at times, about our own introspection. Available wherever you get your podcast. Read our comics at: https://bakarmax.com/

   ANNECY - 15000 introverts in a French town

   ANNECY - the biggest animation festival in the world, and Bakarmax was there! Like a gareeb parivar’s bada beta, we pooled resources and sent our Chief Creative Officer and animation ke mai-baap Vivekananda Roy Ghatak (Vivek for short) there. In this episode he shares which films he liked, how did it all happen and if India was even there. If you are in animation - must hear. If you are not in animation, hear to understand what it feels like when you put 15000 introverts in a small French town.

    Cylinder Boys

    You’re standing in a clothing showroom. Suddenly someone says "Bhaiya iss size mein XL hai kya?" You're standing close to an unsupervised momo stall. Suddenly someone says "Oye, ek half-plate chicken momos diyo." There are “2 types of Indian men” - the average Indian who looks like a Cylinder Boy and the fancy-looking Rajat Kapoor kinds. Based on our comic "2 types of Indian Men", today we discuss if the concept of Cylinder Boys is real or not -and why we shouldn't be offended when confused with an average Indian man. Presented through the individual lived experiences of Sumit Kumar, Rachit Varma, Anas Abbasi, Shikhant Sablania and Shibin Shaji.
