Is the content sort of dated and distressing to listen to? Yes. The surprise here for anyone who is remotely familiar with Kollywood is that the two men are played by actors who would later become superstars of Tamil cinema - the cad, played by Rajinikanth, the lover, by Kamal Hassan, and it's a privilege to watch them riff off of each other with astounding frankness about sex, love and relationships. It's in black and white, and there's no true narrative except for the conversations between the three actors. My other favourite from this earlier era of movies - and sadly one that is challenging to find - is Aval Appadithaan (1978), about a very relatable and cynical woman who hates men, and the men around her - one, her employer, a cad who uses and abuses women and his friend who is deeply infatuated with her.
