Filmi Ladies episode 169: Bollywood for Beginners episode 4 - Laila Majnu and Chak De! India

Welcome to the Bollywood for Beginners series episode 4 where we are being très dramatique!

Pitu explores star-crossed lovers in snowy Kashmir whose initial romance and cuteness descends into madness and death, in 2018's Laila Majnu.

Beth picks a movie about a humiliated coach who takes a ragtag group of squabbling women to hockey victory in 2007's Chak De! India.

Both are cult classic films that prove drama can be both positive and inspiring as well as heartbreaking and bleak.
