Imtiaz Aaj Kal | Jab We Met Harry & Sejal | Love Aaj Kal 2009/2020 #119

Queen is Dead - A Film, TV and Culture Podcast

In what is undoubtedly our most publicized episode, we -- Dhruv, Sanjeet (!), Varun, Aryan, and Prithwish -- discuss half of the peculiar filmography of Imtiaz Ali. The first half of this first part episode on the director is dedicated to "Jab We Met" (2007) and "Jab Harry Met Sejal" (2017) -- two films that share titles and character traits but tap into their respective romantic (and, perhaps, even toxic) impulses in distinctive ways. The exact format follows in the second half of the discussion, which involves the two "Love Aaj Kal" films.

Listen to the full episode to learn not only what we like/dislike about these individual films (disagreements and civil arguments aplenty) but also what we think of Imtiaz's films of "Aaj" (today) in relation to his films from "Kal" (past).
