This week on ‘Has It Aged Well?’ Abbas and Urjita got the ‘saubhagya’ of having author and podcaster Anurag Minus Verma on the show. We’re discussing Sai Paranjapye’s 1981 cult classic Chashme Buddoor starring Farooq Sheikh, Deepti Naval, Rakesh Bedi, Ravi Baswani and Leela Mishra. Topics discussed include: Anurag’s idea of ‘Loserism’ and how it relates to this film, Sai Parnjapye’s cinema style, the portrayal of Delhi in the film and how it works as a companion piece to ‘Chhoti Si Baat’, making the medium of cinema ‘playful’ and much more. So wear your kurta’s starched with Chamko soap and tune in,
