Questions About This Episode

What is Ep 4: The Variegated Shades of Truth And V.K. Murtyh - Guru Dutt's 'Eyes' about?

Twain wrote: "The Lie, as a recreation, a solace, a refuge in time of need, the fourth Grace, the tenth Muse, man's best and surest friend, is immortal, and cannot perish from the earth." We examine this immortality of the Lie and its bete noire , the Truth, in today's episode. The legend of Ashwathama, the contribution of Dharmvir Bharti to our intellectual landscape, the unreliable narrator of Andhadhun, the straight-as-an-arrow Dharmendra in Satyakam and the lies in the fiction of Premchand and RK Narayan – we look for the role of deception and honesty in all of them. Is truth distinct or is it amorphous? Is it always a contested notion? What do we make of fake news in our culture? We cover them all in our ramble. In spotlight we feature an artist whose masterly frames adorned some of the greatest moments in Hindi cinema. Someone who blended a finely honed aesthetic sensibility with strong technical expertise that made him the first 'technician' to be honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke award. We end the show with our weekly reading, watching, and listening recommendations.
