Stand-up comedian Vineeth Srinivasan joins Cyrus Broacha for a completely unhinged episode of Cock & Bull, where structure is optional and logic is discouraged.

From being confused with a Malayalam movie star, to debating Vidyut Jamwal climbing trees naked, political outrage cycles, Indian cricket obsession, podcast culture, election narratives, Mumbai trains, Bigg Boss trauma, long-term relationships, and the slow horror of aging bodies — this conversation goes exactly where it shouldn’t.

There are opinions.
There is gossip.
There is way too much talk about urine.

This episode is not informative.
It is extremely Cock & Bull.

Cyrus Says

From Vidyut Jamwal to Urine Therapy | Cock n Bull with Vineeth Srinivasan

British filmmaker and writer Patrick Graham joins Cyrus Says for an unfiltered conversation about building a career in Indian film and OTT.

Patrick talks about moving to India with no connections, studying at London Film School, directing ads, and eventually creating some of India’s most talked-about horror series — including Ghoul and Betal for Netflix. He breaks down how OTT platforms changed after early controversies, the impact of censorship, why bold storytelling became risky, and how creative freedom slowly narrowed.

The episode also dives into Patrick’s work on true-crime documentaries like Dancing on the Grave and The Dupatta Murders, the ethics of telling real crime stories, criticism vs audience response, and what it’s really like to be a foreign filmmaker working in India.

Funny, sharp, and brutally honest, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at OTT platforms, filmmaking realities, and creative survival in today’s media landscape.

In this episode Cyrus Broacha sits down with chef, author, restaurateur, and all-round force of nature Romy Gill MBE for a conversation that jumps effortlessly from food to culture to absolute nonsense.

Romy talks about growing up in a steel-plant town in Bengal in a Punjabi family, navigating identity through food, and why she feels more Bengali than Punjabi. She opens up about opening her restaurant in the UK without investors, facing gender bias from banks, selling her jewelry to fund her dream, and how the BBC showed up just in time.

There’s deep food talk, Himalayan cuisine, Kashmiri saffron, game meat, papad politics, and why Indian customers want onions and chillies for free. Romy also breaks down what makes great hospitality, why staff should always come first, and how tips were shared across the entire team from chefs to kitchen porters.

Along the way, Cyrus does what he does best: derail the conversation with cricket, Bhojpuri and Bengali impressions, postmen food testing, alcohol debates, and questions no serious interview would ever ask.

Expect stories, laughs, strong opinions, and zero structure!

If you love food, culture, chaos, and conversations that go everywhere and nowhere at once this one’s for you.

In this episode of Cyrus Says / Cock & Bull, Cyrus Broacha is joined by comedian and professional chaos-enjoyer Shamik Chakrabarti for a conversation that goes exactly nowhere and everywhere.

They talk about KRK firing guns (allegedly), Vande Bharat reels nobody asked for, cancel culture that cancels itself, internet outrage that lasts 48 hours, and why Indians secretly thrive on mess. There are bad opinions, worse jokes, and absolutely no attempt to be responsible.

If you’re looking for balance, nuance, or polite conversation this is not it.
If you enjoy chaos, questionable takes, and laughing at things you probably shouldn’t welcome home. And to our regular listeners, welcome back home!
