Ramayana’s ₹4000 Crore Budget: Real Spend or Marketing Hype? | EP 7

This week on Panchaura, we discuss Vidyut Jammwal’s remarks on the Tiger Shroff attack and whether fans owe these entertainers anything. We also look at the Daler Mehndi's show controversy and whether he was the victim. We also question if Ramayana’s ₹4000 crore claim holds up or is it a marketing gimmick, taking the audience for granted. Opinions are personal and this is an informal discussion.
