In conversation with Jai Arjun Singh on Gol Maal, recurrent themes in Hrishida's films, Utpal Dutt, Amol Palekar and more.
Jai has authored a lovely book on Hrishida's films, titled The World of Hrishikesh Mukherjee.
Jai and I chatted about the film's classic lines, the muted socio-political commentary, Hrishida's style of writing films in an 'adda' setting, Utpal's Dutt's theatre background, Pancham's timeless soundtrack, and Gol Maal trivia.
We also touched on few other comedies. Join us!
(Shout out to @FarziLogic for pointing out the bit on Professor Rele)
