Ep 17: PR kiya toh darna kya

Episode 17 of Bits and Pieces is also episode “83”, as the gang get together to discuss the recent movie on India’s first-ever cricket World Cup win in 1983. PGK, Krt, Srinath, Kaus and Rachana talk about the best parts of the movie, the smart casting choices, Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of Kapil Dev, and quibble about some of the more over the top bits. There’s lots of chatter on the multiple PR Man Singhs in the plot, and which one made the great David Frith eat a piece of paper.
