Hi everyone, thanks for listening. Drop a line or two about the episode!

Rakhee Sandilya co-wrote and directed the engaging 2017 drama Ribbon, starring Kalki Koechlin and Sumeet Vyas. She joins us for the next installment in our series of deep dives with screenwriters/filmmakers on their favorite films. Rakhee chose Mira Nair's celebrated 2001 drama Monsoon Wedding.

We tried to unpack why Monsoon Wedding was such a bold and important film, and how it was a triumph of weaving together multiple strands of narrative. Rakhee elaborated on her favorite scenes, Mira Nair's style, the wonderful casting, and the tremendous performances. We raved about Shefali Shah, Vijay Raaz, Rajat Kapoor, Tillotama Shome, and the endearing love story of Alice and Dubey.
