Is director Vikramaditya Motwane’s meta-mockumentary AK vs AK a one-line premise stretched too thin?
We discuss the film’s inventive approach to Bollywood satire, actors Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap’s willingness to lampoon themselves, and cinematographer Swapnil Sonawane’s use of long takes.
Later, we find time to rant about Indian film critics (it us) being treated dismissively by international studios (we’re looking at you, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, and Warner Bros.)
