#30 TIFF Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota

Show Notes

Episode 30: Our second TIFF-related episode features a conversation with Vasan Bala and Abhimanyu Dassani, the director and star respectively of Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, aka The Man Who Feels No Pain.

After Geeton Ka Ghanchakkar, inspired by Bollywood’s take on karate and the festive season, and Filmi Khabrein, where we talk about Rima Das’s film Village Rockstars being submitted as India’s entry to the Oscars among other news, we feature Vasan’s sophomore feature in Bollywood Behes.

Vasan tells us about diving into his own childhood memories of watching all manner of films, in order to write a story that felt true; and Abhimanyu talks about wanting to find honesty in whatever role he does after such a dramatic debut.
