Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani | Has It Aged Well? Ft.

This week on ‘Has It Aged Well?’ we're talking about matters of the heart, by which we mean we're talking about Aziz Mirza’s 2000 film ‘Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani’ starring Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla. To talk about this film with Abbas and Urjita are joined by comedian and writer Gursimran Khamba.

Topics discussed include: Does the satire of this film hold up? The premonition of seeing the news anchor as the star, Juhi Chawla’s comic timing, the moral dilemma at the core of the film, an extensive discussion on cat-eyed people and background extras and a lot more.
