At Filmi Ladies Podcast, friend of the Gutter Pitu Sultan and the Gutter’s own Beth Watkins celebrate filmi dads! “We would be remiss if we only talked about MAAs in Bollywood and ignored the PITAJIS. We bring two very different movies that depict different aspects of fatherhood–father as a human being first, and father who must grapple with passing the torch to his son. Beth discusses Ray’s Apur Sansar (1959) and Pitu discusses Boman Irani’s The Mehta Boys (2025). We also discuss quintessential fathers in Indian cinema as well as father figures like all the amazing uncles–and end with a fun quiz!”
