2.5 Iyers #3 - The Last Lear

The two and a half Iyers go to Calcutta as Rituparno Ghosh brings the Big B and Shakespeare together in his latest offering, The Last Lear . With powerhouse actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shefali Shah and Divya Dutta, as well as the "try-try-as-hard-as-you-can" Preity Zinta and Arjun Rampal, can the Bengali filmmaker inspire the Iyers? Or will it all end in tragedy?

For the first time ever, Akhila, Avinash and Rohit respond to listener feedback and also talk about the other films they've been watching.

2.5 Iyers #2 - Tahaan

This week, the two-and-a-half Iyers head to Kashmir to see if a little boy and his donkey are really worth your time. Purab Bhandare, Sarika, Victor Banerjee, Anumpam Kher and the two Rahuls star in Santosh Sivan's "parable" about life and loss in the valley. But does Tahaan live up to its arthouse aesthetic?

Also, listen to what else Avinash, Rohit and Akhila have been watching this week, with thoughts on The Darjeeling Limited, The Fall and... ummm... Dan in Real Life?!
