If you’ve ever lost the battle with your mother for the TV remote during an Alok Nath serial or shared a Babuji meme, this is a must watch. The religious and respectable patriarch, once a fountain of holy-holies is now hosting an adult chat show, quizzing people about their sex lives and bedroom fantasies.
It has you in splits from the moment he struggles with the pronunciation of “masturbate”, to his interview with TV's notorious twins Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman in the first episode. The winning quality of this show is easily Alok Nath’s ease with self-deprecating humour.
Behind The News satirises the stereotypical Indian newsroom. No longer than ten minutes each, the episodes feature a passionate yet sensible journalist caught between a corrupt, Goswamiesque editor, a clueless, apathetic minion and a vacuous marketing rep.
Behind The News stars Anuvab Pal, Lekha Washington, Mukul Chadda, Kunaal Roy Kapur and Gopal Datt. You can catch both episodes on TVF Play.
