Casually Obsessed

This Christmas special, we talk about what December actually looked like growing up—snow in Shimla, winter holidays shaped by Narnia marathons, and the long years of believing in Santa before the illusion was rudely dispelled. From there, the conversation turns to seasonal viewing. Alongside familiar rewatches (Home Alone), we discuss recent holiday releases including A Very Jonas Christmas Movie,...

With Dhurandhar stirring up equal parts excitement, criticism, and speculation, we dive into what the film is actually doing, from its massive three-hour-plus scale to the way it blends nationalism, espionage, and high-gloss Bollywood action. We talk about the performances that anchor the story — Ranveer Singh’s brooding intensity, Akshaye Khanna’s villain avatar, Sanjay Dutt's screen presence, an...

Stranger Things 5 has the Internet in a chokehold, so of course, we dissect every upside-down detail (without any spoilers), including our unhinged predictions for Volumes 1 and 2 dropping on December 25 and 31. Then we dive into Dharma’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, now streaming on Netflix, to find out whether Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf won our hearts or the...

In this episode we try to figure out if 'we are nerdy enough' through a game based on a recent Instagram trend. It tests our nerdy-ness on a scale of 'Kanda lelo' to 'the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires'. Not to forget, we are fans of situational comedies, romantic comedies, horror comedies and....if you didn't guess it.....COMEDY. So, we laugh over some of our favorite comed...

With the Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser out, we revisit how office dressing has shifted. We also look at wedding fashion and the negotiation of personal taste, trends, and tradition. We talk about the iconic Bollywood looks that still shape how we dress, from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’s effortless travel-and-wedding fits to Kate Hudson's iconic yellow dress from How to lose a guy in 10 days.  Threaded t...

A controversy was born when, on Two Much, the celebrity hosts, Kajol and Twinkle, claimed that emotional cheating might actually be worse than physical cheating, and suddenly everybody from Gen-Z to your neighboring aunty had opinions. What followed was a week’s worth of Reddit threads, group-chat essays, and midnight rant-texts dissecting the difference between a wandering eye and a wandering hea...

We are deep in our feel-good era! The Indian women’s cricket team brought home the World Cup. Girl power? More like world power. Shah Rukh Khan turned 60 and the nation collectively sighed, swooned, and whispered “palat,” and Zohran Mamdani just won New York, celebrating with Dhoom Machale blasting (because of course he did!). We also raise a toast to the icons who raised us — Asrani, Piyush Pande...

Aryan Khan’s Netflix debut The Ba**ds of Bollywood has the internet divided and delighted with even Shashi Tharoor calling it a “masterpiece of sharp writing and fearless direction.” In this episode, Niharika, Aishwarya, and Shruti dive into the murky waters of the Great Nepotism Debate, while dissecting and discussing the series, which is a satire on the industry by an industry insider itself. We...

From Hangover 2's recycled chaos to Wednesday’s rebooted charm, Hollywood and Bollywood both love to serve us stories we have already met, just with a twist. In this episode, Niharika, Aishwarya, and Shruti decode our obsession with sequels, spin-offs, and reboots, and ask: does the law of diminishing returns apply to entertainment, or are we wired to fall for the familiar? Edited and Mixed by Sur...

Why do you binge watch TV shows like Modern Family, F.R.I.E.N.D.S., Sarabhai VS Sarabhai and movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? In this episode, hosts Niharika, Aishwarya and Shruti discuss that even though today we have so many options of new content to choose from, people choose to go back to certain shows and movies that they have already watched before, and what makes such content - Comfort...

Welcome to the entertainment zone of Express Podcasts where we, Niharika, Aishwarya and Shruti casually obsess over things that increase our screen time to a minimum of 7-8 hours daily.
