We discuss all things (South) Indian cinema, get oddly specific about movie trivia, wallow in nostalgia of “they don’t make films like that anymore”, and get analytical about thevaye illadha details.

This episode is with someone who introduced me to a new world, broke my misconceptions, and made me believe in love… for Telugu cinema.
We talk about our love & lessons from both the 'Woods, the Okkadu vs Ghilli battle, and attempt to pick our Top 4 from the other side.
