Gulzar, the wizard of words who has brought numerous films alive, understands not only the power of the spoken word but also how to unleash it in the most engaging manner. Be it endearment or cursing, he can teach us a thing or two about language and its nuances. In this podcast, listen to Gulzar unpacking the different flavours of different languages. Some are like kheer, some halwa: all sweet in their own way.
