Season 2 Episode 18

This week, we’re stepping away from the soundstage and going off the Bollywood beat. 🎬 We dive into the worlds of Mira Nair, Gurinder Chadha, and Deepa Mehta — three filmmakers who built their own cinematic language far from Mumbai’s spotlight. From Monsoon Wedding to Bend It Like Beckham to Fire, these women carried Indian stories across continents, proving that you don’t need Bollywood to tell stories that move the world.

Expect deep dives, film nostalgia, and a little chai-fueled chaos as we unpack what makes each of them iconic — their vision, their impact, and their legacy beyond borders.
