In this episode, we review Thuramukham - a beautiful retelling of labour unions in the 1940’s in Cochin, India. The director does such an excellent job in portraying the daily struggles of labourers that you feel as though you’re watching a documentary rather than a commercial mainstream movie.
But, as history lessons tend to, the movie seems to lag at certain points with repetitive action and dialogue sequences. Overall, the film is an excellent example of almost hitting the mark.

In life, things happen. And even if nothing happens, that’s something happening. So, on this show, we talk about things that happen. We get an esteemed panel of highly jobless people to answer the million-dollar question: Do I Like It?
Now, ‘It’ can be a movie, a song, a gadget, or the latest viral trend. But the question remains the same. So, if you like listening to people talk about things, tune in, and we’ll tell you: Do I Like It?
