While discussing Manjummel Boys:
Abish Mathew: I’m a very easy cryer.
Abhinandan: Then you should watch a film with her.
Rajyasree: Like in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham also I cried.
Abish: But you didn’t like Manjummel Boys?
Rajyasree: I cried in Planet of the Apes one time.
Abhinandan: I cried that why the f*ck am I here!
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen, Abhinandan Sekhri, and comedian Abish Mathew discuss Manjummel Boys, Kevin Hart’s Mark Twain Prize, The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the new ‘Cozi Boys’ ad, and why subscriber-funded news matters.
