Split Screen Podcast: Episode 15 – What’s Left To Come From Bollywood In 2016

Half way through the year, Samarpita Dutta (form BollyBrit.com) and I caught up on our predictions of Bollywood movies from last year. That was last week’s episode that can be found here. This week, we follow up on that follow up by taking a look at the Bollywood movies that are yet to release in 2016.

So without further ado, let’s jump into Episode 15 of The Split Screen Podcast discussing the upcoming Bollywood movies of 2016.

Never Heard The Show Before?

The Split Screen Podcast usually compares a film remake to its original material, like another movie or comic book. This episode however, we discuss, at length, the most exciting Bollywood movies of 2016, that are yet to be released. You can find all the regular episodes of the Split Screen Podcast here.

Highlights!

• [ Since this episode recorded, ‘Kriti’ is no longer available on YouTube, due to a plagiarism controversy. For more on this, view my article here. ]
