Politics and the Problem of Moral Relativism | Prof. Francis Beckwith

ANTHEM

Laughter they say is the best medicine. No wonder then that comedy movies in Bollywood have always been the nation's favourite. 
The 50s treated us with Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. 60s with Padosan. The 70s gave us Chupke Chupke and 80s Angoor. The 90s swept us with Andaz Apna Apna while the 2000s arrived with a bang with Hera Pheri. The past decade tickled us with Badhaai Ho. 
All these movies and many more from the stables of Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu Chaterjee, David Dhawan and Priyadarshan. TMC 95 is a tribute to all such comedy films from Hindi Cinema. A genre that gave us genuises like Kishore Kumar, Mehmood, Amol Palekar right upto 
Govinda, Johnny Lever and Paresh Rawal. 

Bhola, Parimal Tripathi, Bhawani Shankar, Crime Master Gogo, Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, Circuit and many more unforgetable characters who have given us light moments since decades. Let's go down the laughing lane in this episode with not only songs but also dialogues from these laughing riots. Nilu, Shesh, Ravi, Sheela, Karthik, Arun, Aruna, Seema, Udupa, Jivan, Anant, Parvez, Roopa, Leela, Nithya, Rajshree, Mangala, Geetha, Arundhati, Rhea, Prasad, Vanee, Balram, Supriya and requests of many more listeners included along with a chat with Sammy and Arpitha. 

Listen, Laugh and Share !
