Money Heist: Dhruv Rathee decodes Netflix’s ‘Spanish Masala Blockbuster’

Dhruv also talks about the show’s symbols – red jumpsuits, Dali masks and the theme song “Bella Ciao”, and how it doesn’t go for mass and international appeal, rather stays rooted to Spanish culture. He gets anthropologist Mathangi Krishnamurthy and economist Amartya Lahiri to discuss the art and money aspect of the show.

Coming to its Indian connect, Dhruv Rathee convinces us that since doing impossible things in style takes precedence over credibility and authenticity in Money Heist, it totally resonates with our Bollywood sentiments. In fact, towards the end, he even discusses the pros and cons of taking up bank robbery as a profession.

Dhruv shares that Álvaro Morte, who plays The Professor, had once called Money Heist “like Rock n Roll” because it keeps running at full speed. Seeing the video and the show, we do not doubt that. Right?
