Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Udaan' is a Bollywood film, that lingers your memory, and gives you the hope to live your dreams. A movie that's very detailed without being showy, poetic without being operatic, subtle without being too restrained, and poignant without being preachy. Today's bonus episode is a recital of one of the poems from this movie. Hope it proves as much inspiration for you, as it does to me.  Follow me on IG @maheshwari_abhay91; Like, Share, Follow & leave a rating for this podcast.
