Picking up where we left off last week, we discuss the good, bad and ugly of 90s Bollywood movies. With Hirok da, we discuss the forbidden pleasures of watching a movie which our parents warned us against (and watched themselves), the rise of the Khans and the role of SRK in a Bengali's life, 90s Bollywood music and the emergence of Kumar Sanu before finishing off with the two Bollywood movies you should never watch.

We Bengalis love our cinema and more so if it is Bollywood. The snobs may look down upon us but some of our most cherished memories were formed in those dimly lit musty smelling movie theatres. And today we chat about those stories in the first part of two episode adda with Hirok da who joins us all the way from Singapore.

Anjan Dutta, like Kolkata, is an emotion. We all grew up listening to his brand of jeebonmukhi gaan and sharing a common pain of love, loss and longing. In S2 E1 of Kolir Kotha, we delve into a heartening adda on what endeared him to the urban youth of Kolkata and what endures him still in their minds.

One of the few states in India where football is almost as important as cricket, Kolkata football has a storied history. With our guest Prithvi da, we try to cover some of those famous stories - from the perils of being an electricity board employee during the 1986 World Cup to Nigerian students getting recruited in kulfi shops to âso bad itâs goodâ Bangla football commentary.

Call it a holy trinity or West Bengalâs homegrown Bermuda triangle - thereâs something about these places which keeps drawing Bengali travellers to Dipuda i.e. Digha, Puri & Darjeeling. From the humble dada-boudi hotels to the lavish feasts at Glenaryâs and Keventers, from the sun-kissed peaks of Kanchenjunga to the indefatigable waves of the Bay of Bengal, from the pious fervour for Jagannath Deb to some quiet moments of solitude shared with loved ones, Dipuda has something for all.

What connects Rabindranath Tagore, Satyajit Ray and Nawab Wajid Ali Shah? We donât really know but are pretty confident that all of them would have enjoyed a plate of piping hot biryani at some point of time in their lives. In the second episode of our podcast Kolir Kotha, Shubho da and I chat about what makes biryani an irreplaceable life force for most Bengalis. And why the biryani aloo is probably the greatest thing ever invented (yes, we are looking at you, sliced bread)
