This is our longest episode yet, and it had to be in order to give this often underappreciated Kapoor the respect he deserves. Masala, parallel, and international films: he did them all, and he did them all very well.
We also discuss the very important question of what ice cream flavor each of the first four Kapoors would be.
Films in focus this episode: The Householder, Jab Jab Phool Khile, Aa Gale Lag Ja, Suhaag,* Heat and Dust, and New Delhi Times.
* Note: Beth misspoke about Rekha's line of work in this film. Please forgive! Rekha is, of course, excellent no matter what her role is.
