Paatal Lok, an Amazon Original web series produced by Anushka Sharma’s Clean Slate Films, whose release earlier this year left a rather searing impression on the minds of Indian audiences and simultaneously garnered universal acclaim from critics and viewers alike. Paatal Lok is an exemplary feat, a slow-burn cop drama on the surface with a rather jarring and well-founded sociopolitical undertone. But what enables it to withdraw itself from other stories of its ilk is its courage to ask questions about existentialism and the price we pay for playing cogs in the system, slaving away to keep a country as diverse and multicultural as India well-oiled.
What also serves as the show’s hallmark is its sound design. So here we are, probing deep into the work that went behind crafting the show’s soundscape, and it is my sincere honour to present Vinit D’Souza and Boloy Kumar Doloi. Vinit holds the credit of production sound mixer and sound designer, while Boloy holds credit as re-recording mixer. Vinit’s other works include films like Super 30, Masaan, and NH10, and shows like Sacred Games, while Boloy’s portfolio includes films like Dangal, Stree and Article 15, and shows like Leila and Ghoul. Holding a slew of more impressive titles under their belt, both Vinit and Boloy have come to make their mark as formidable artists and technicians in Bollywood.

In this episode, I speak with the veteran voice artist, Mr. Chetan Sashital and dig deeper into the art of voice acting.
Chetan is what I would call a curator of voices. In a career spanning close to 30 years, Chetan's voice has been a seminal part of every Indian millennial's childhood, lending his versatile voice to some of the most notable and loved cartoon characters from Disney's animated kingdom, from Launchpad McQuack of Duck Tales, Baloo and Colonel Spigot of Talespin and Aladdin's Genie to its most notable figureheads Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck. In addition, he has also emulated an entire gamut of Bollywood actors, ranging from Amitabh Bachchan, Amrish Puri, Akshay Kumar, among many more.
In this episode, Chetan shares with us, his journey as a voice actor over the years, how he trained and continues to train himself as a voice artist and shares with us stories from the golden era of Advertising, the 90's!

In this podcast, I speak with Sound Designer Rohit Pradhan about his workflow for the film Thackeray. Shot in two languages at the same time, Thackeray's post-audio work was probably one of the toughest and the lengthiest of Rohit's career. I deconstruct the sound design of certain scenes and have a chat with Rohit about the entire process.
