Welcome to another special episode of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast. Once again, we hosted a Twitter Spaces to discuss four new trailers that dropped the last week of October and we were joined by Pulkit Kochchar and @Pappuchaaru whom we’ve hosted before on the show. We discussed ANTIM, a Salman Khan family affair that has Asim very excited. We were also stunned by SATYAMEVA JAYATE, the John Abraham movie to end all John Abraham movies if your definition of a good movie is multiple John Abrahams. We welcomed a new nepostar to the Bollywood sky with TADAP, a remake of the Telugu movie RX100. And last but definitely the most, we discussed BUNTY AUR BABLI 2, now with 100% less Abhishek Bachchan.

Welcome to Episode 109 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we continue our limited edition Other Khans series with the legendary Dilip Kumar. Born Yusuf Khan in Peshawar in present day Pakistan, Dilip Sahib is an icon for audiences and his fellow actors alike. He was noted for his cinematic performances, his gossipy love life, and the influence he wielded over generations of actors. Bimal Roy’s MADHUMATI (1958) is one of his personal favorites, so we had to review it for the podcast. Co-starring Vyjyanthimala, Johnny Walker, and Plan, Madhumati is one of the most influential movies to have come out of Hindi cinema. Movies made well into the 21st century show traces of tropes and themes we can date back to this romance / supernatural revenge saga with some of the most beautiful songs composed by Salil Chaudhary. We can’t wait for you to experience this film with us. Make sure you don't miss any future live events, subscribe to our Khandaan Podcast YouTube page. Khandaan now has an Instagram page.

Episode 105 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is extremely retro with star of the week, Amjad Khan. Our journey into the world of The Other Khans goes way back in the time machine this week with 1981’a LAAWARIS. Directed by Hindi film legend Prakash Mehra, this sprawling masala entertainer is largely remembered for Amitabh Bachchan’s performance as a social outcast who doesn’t know what happened to his parents or why he was abandoned. The trope of the illegitimate child and the stigma he or she faces in a conservative society makes for the subject of a sensitive film - or it could be Laawaris! While the movie allows Amjad Khan a complete character arc, which was the reason why we chose this film, it is also chiefly notable for several execrable choices, none of which we enjoyed. Co-starring Zeenat Aman, Suresh Oberoi, and Rakhee in a special role, Laawaris is your glimpse into old school masala filmmaking, Khandaan-style.

Episode 104 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast marks a brief return to the world of current releases with Salman Khan’s Eid release RADHE. This incoherent mishmash of Bhai’s most wanted movies (you define “wanted”) brought up a lot of feelings in the breast of the Khandaan crew, such as: why us? What did we do to deserve this? Is Asim now an Akshay Kumar fan? So many questions. This Prabhu Deva directed remake of the Korean movie The Outlaws also stars Jackie Shroff, Randeep Hooda and Disha Patani in addition to the usual Salman Khan Mitr Mandali. You probably don’t want to see this film but you definitely want to hear us talk about it. Make sure you don't miss any future live events, subscribe to our Khandaan Podcast YouTube page.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is back with a… bang? Well, here’s what we’ve been watching in May 2021 at all events. 11:35 Amrita has been watching Chinese dramas and recommends the historical murder mystery series, THE STORY OF YANXI PALACE. 19:50 Sujoy watched MITCHELLS VS. MACHINES and would like to see the Bollywood remake NOBODY. 28:45 Asim and Sujoy also watched the new show STARSTRUCK and can’t say enough good things about it. 33:00 Asim then watched MUMBAI SAGA because he hates himself. 39:10 The piece de resistance of the episode however is when Sujoy watches the new item song from RADHE live with Amrita and Asim - a world first for song reactions on audio! Our limited edition The Other Khan series continues with LAAWARIS and Amjad Khan but first, a little detour next week to discuss Our Most (un)Wanted Movie, Radhe. Don’t forget to subscribe!

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is back with Saleha i.e. @Salandthebadpun of Twitter fame to discuss a movie that has long been requested - 1998’s HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM. The last full blown collaboration between director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman Khan, this is a movie that occupies a special, albeit difficult, space in Indian film history. Aishwarya Rai became a bonafide star actress with this film, showcasing what she could accomplish when given the space and a director interested in her performance; Ajay Devgan pulled focus from Salman in an author backed role; and of course this marked the beginning of the famed Salman/Aishwarya affair that would scorch Bollywood over the next few tumultuous years. Join as we dive deep (and I mean DEEP) into this film, to discuss its cultural impact, the gossip, the performances, the music, and so many other things! Our brand new limited edition podcast series #BingingBridgerton hosted by @bethlovesbolly and @amritaiq is now LIVE. 8 episodes featuring an in-depth discussion of the Netflix series with the occasional guest host.

Episode 92 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast features 1992’s DAULAT KI JUNG. Our guest this week was Her Highness Pitu Sultan and this was her one and only choice for you, her adoring public. Loosely based on the Hollywood film MCKENNA’S GOLD, this movie is several things, none of them good: it is a college romance, an elopement story starring the greatest elopers of their generation, a Romeo and Juliet story, a treasure hunt, an anthropological exercise, and an investigation of the uneasy nexus between crime branch officers and vampires. Starring Aamir Khan, Juhi Chawla, Kiran Kumar, Shafi Inamdar, Tiku Talsania, Dilip Tahil, Paresh Rawal and KADER KHAN (with guest star, Coffin Donkey), Daulat ki Jung is a trip back in the time machine to a very different Bollywood.

Episode 91 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast sees us racing towards a century of episodes! We can scarcely believe it! So we start this stretch with a dive into our listener’s mailbag - featuring a little hate, a lot of love, and some deep questions from friends new and old. Amrita finally watched LUPIN, the French series taking Netflix by storm and had several thoughts about it. Asim and Sujoy watched MASTER, the controversial Tamil film starring the two Vijays, and Asim had questions. They also watched THE WHITE TIGER, the new Priyanka Chopra Jonas / Rajkumar Rao film and we discuss what makes a good adaptation. Watch out for a surprise guest in the latter half of the episode and join us next time for a trip back in the time machine to DAULAT KI JUNG.

Starring Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Aditya Panscholi, this 90s classic was directed by then-frequent SRK-collaborator Aziz Mirza and show his touch for portraying the little people with big dreams in their eyes. More than 20 years after its release, it remains an ode to a different kind of Bombay, a different India, and a much different SRK-Juhi.

BINGING BRIDGERTON is a brand new limited edition podcast hosted by Beth and Amrita. Eight episodes featuring an in-depth discussion of the Netflix series with the occasional guest host, releasing Monday-Wednesday-Friday on Upodcast Main Event. Available on your preferred platform.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast kicks off 2021 with Episode 87 in which we are joined by Top Friend Beth from Beth Loves Bollywood to discuss all the movies and shows we’ve been watching through the end of the year. Amrita and Beth watched BRIDGERTON (11m40s), the new Shondaland romance on Netflix. Everyone was super excited to watch WONDER WOMAN 1984 (43m48s)but it was sadly a racist, turgid mess and nobody has anything good to say about it. SOUL (38m10s) took Sujoy and Asim by storm while Beth really couldn’t handle COOLIE NO.1 (55m40s)starring Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan, which was rather less than the frothy fun promised to us. Finally, Vikramaditya Motwane’s AK vs. AK (1h12m36s)starring Anil Kapoor & Family vs. Anurag Kashyap is one of the funniest, wittiest movies to have emerged from Hindi cinema in recent years, replete with Easter eggs for the discerning Hindi cinema buff. Join us next time as we go through our list of the highs and lows of 2020.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast arrives at Episode 86 - our last for the year 2020 - with special guest Pulkit Kochar! This week’s film is 2005’s MAINE PYAR KYUN KIYA starring Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, Sushmita Sen, Katrina Kaif, Arshad Warsi, and others. Directed by David Dhawan towards what was then the end of his career before it was revitalized by his son Varun Dhawan, Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya is another party thrown by the Khan brothers with their trademark humor (?). This movie is a bit of a time capsule for each of the stars and the directors - as well as for its music - and new friend Pulkit has solid reasons for choosing this film as you will learn. Come for the snark, stay for Sujoy’s unexpected impression of a surprise character! Truly, the only bright spark of 2020. You know Pulkit from his work with everyone from TVF to FilterCopy - now you can catch him on his Instagram and his YouTube channel where he’s posting original content.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is back with Aamir Khan’s GHULAM (1998) for episode 84. Join us for a nostalgia-filled episode wherein we refamiliarize ourselves with this classic. Directed by Vikram Bhatt - a fact that stuns us in 2020 - this remake of ON THE WATERFRONT is a movie that has somehow never received its due. Harkening back to tropes explored across violent Hindi action movies, this is a clever take on Hindi film brotherhood and the fight of the underdog against overwhelming evil. Co-starring a very young Rani Mukherjee (sans her trademark voice), and an entire cast of talented supporting actors - Mita Vasisht, Dalip Tahil, Sharat Saxena, Dipak Tijori, Rajat Kapoor, Akshay Anand and Ashutosh Rana in a brief but devastating role - Ghulam is absolutely worth another look.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast has 2005’s NO ENTRY for Episode 82. Co-starring Salman Khan in an extended special appearance, this multi-starrer boasts of an eclectic line up: Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Celina Jaitley, Lara Dutta, and Esha Deol in what was to become the first of many successful sex comedies directed by Anees Bazmee. A convoluted tale of cheating husbands, suspicious wives, noble call girls, and feminists who advocate for mental health, No Entry was one of the biggest hits of the year. This film is a cherished favorite of noted film scholar Jai Arjun Singh, author of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron - Seriously Funny Since 1983 and The World of Hrishikesh Mukherjee, and he generously offered to share the experience with us.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is not superstitious, but if ever there was a cursed project, it would have to be 1995’s Shahrukh Khan starrer TRIMURTI. A Mukta Arts production directed by Mukul Anand, this movie should have been a slamdunk. Instead, it just dunked on the hosts of this podcast who soon lost the ability to tell what was up and what was down. Possibly the worst film we’ve reviewed on this podcast, Trimurti is unsalvageable in every respect. Co-starring Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Mohan Agashe, and a host of people who would go on to loudly infest other Subhash Ghai films about horrendous families and their wayward children, Episode 80 of the Khandaan is quite a traumatic affair.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast dives deep into BAAZIGAR (1993) starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol for its 78th episode. Shilpa Shetty’s debut feature (and what a historic debut it was!), Baazigar is hands down one of the best Abbas Mustan movies ever made. Combining a revenge drama with youthful shenanigans, this is the movie that firmly established SRK’s anti-hero credentials and cemented his storied chemistry with Kajol. With a soundtrack that continues to spell nostalgia for an entire generation, Baazigar is still frequently referenced when discussing Khan’s filmography. We are joined by Justin Rao of PTI as we evaluate whether this is the best Abbas Mustan thriller or, indeed, the best SRK anti-hero thriller. You know him from his offscreen cameos on Saloni Gaur’s Kangana videos (“Shut Up, Justin!”) as well as his excellent Bollywood mashups that beautifully marry images from recent films with older songs. Check out his Twitter and Instagram for updates and videos.

Released in 1999, Hello Brother was a join Khan family exercise and it shows! From the adolescent fart humor to the weird fetishization of Arbaaz to Salman kicking everybody’s butt, this movie is an unconscious deep dive into the intra-family dynamics of the Khan household. …Okay, it’s just silly trash. But we had so much fun discussing it, we can’t wait to share it with you. Join us to hear why Pitu chose this film, how Sujoy is her enabler in chief, Amrita’s obsession with Arbaaz’s manboobs, and yet more proof that not even Salman thinks as deeply about Salman as Asim does.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast has taken its time, but we’ve finally arrived at the film that forever changed the Hindi film industry: 2001’s DIL CHAHTA HAI. Farhan Akhtar’s debut feature had a glitzy starcast: Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Preity Zinta, Ayub Khan, Sonali Kulkarni, Suhasini Mulay, and the by-now patented list of talented supporting actors. Everything from the costumes (super trendy at the time), to the dialogues (a stark departure from what the rest of Hindi filmdom sounded like), to cinematography (fresh and natural), to the music (still a bop), left an impact. It changed the trajectory of several careers and gave others an opportunity to showcase their talents in a way few Hindu films have been able to. Join us for a nostalgic deep dive into shared joys and surprising traumas.

For Episode 72, Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast concludes it’s two-part discussion with Matt Bowes and Erin Fraser of the amazing Bollywood is for Lovers Podcast with a full fledged review of DHOOM 3: This Time it’s Aamir. Requested by Matt and Erin, 2013’s Dhoom 3 stars Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra and Jackie Shroff in a brief appearance. It has the distinction of being the first Bollywood film Matt and Erin watched onscreen and it left a huge impact. We discuss what worked and what didn’t, the “homage” to Christopher Nolan, the varying degrees of performance, why Katrina is a worthy successor to Helen (hallowed be her name), and how does it feel in 2020 to watch a movie about defending a bank.

Episode 70 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast takes us back to our roots… and boy, is it a trip! Our feature of the day is the 1991 South-remake LOVE, starring Salman Khan, Revathi, Rita Bhaduri, Shafi Inamdar, and sadly enough, Amjad Khan. This topnotch pick comes courtesy an old friend of the podcast and shy netizen Shakeela aka @Get_Filmy whom you should follow on Twitter for some absolutely scorching Bolly takes. Love is a complicated film whose sole purpose appears to be to beg the question WHY? Why... do people forget that Salman has consistently done South remakes throughout his career instead of it being a career saving ploy in the 2000s? Why... is Salman so beautiful in this film? Why… is Revathi his best co-star? Why… does everything escalate in two seconds? Why… does all Bombay know Salman’s scandalous past? Why… is Salman a musician? Why… did Shakeela do this to us? And other burning questions. A Short Timeline: · 02:30 A small eulogy to the Twitter that was · 07.45 Asim and Sujoy talk about what they watched on Zee 5’s new streaming platform · 17.25 Asim Abbasi’s CHURAILS on ZEE5 has our very own Asim pretty chuffed (spoiler free) · 32.50CLASS OF 83 on Netflix reminds us that we’re none of us Boobians :/ · 39.30 We nearly forgot GUNJAN SAXENA: THE KARGIL GIRL on Netflix but it’s not half as bad as some make it out to be? Maybe? · 49.20 SADAK 2 has a trailer out and it’s leaving quite a trail of hate in its wake · 57.50 THE MAIN REVIEW: Falling in LOVE with Bhai ke muscles.

Episode 69 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast brings you everyone’s favorite (or is it?) Bollywood sports movie: 2007’s CHAKE DE! INDIA. Directed by Shimit Amin, a less than prolific director of tremendous talent, this underdog Shahrukh Khan starrer surprised everyone by not only succeeding at the box office but also becoming a perennial fan favorite. In fact, it was the only choice for our guest, Sucharita Tyagi, whom you may know from Film Companion’s Not a Movie Review series or her own eponymous channel. Join us as we dive into this charming little film and examine why it remains beloved all these years later. A Short Timeline: 02:32 Media malfeasance, disinformation campaigns and film criticism 17:15 The Main Review: Chak De!

Our very last CoronaCast episode before our return to the regular schedule has us catching up after nearly a month. In the meantime, Sujoy and Amrita collaborated with Beth from Beth Loves Bollywood for the Tolly Folly Podcast a limited series about the classic Bengali movies of Uttam Kumar and Suchitra Sen. In between all the movies Sujoy was watching for Tolly Folly, he also caught up with the hit series KILLING EVE and watched Luc Besson’s ANNA as palate cleansers. Amrita, meanwhile, caught up with various Turkish dramas on the recommendation of none other than Cardi B: THE MAGNIFICENT CENTURY and ERTUGRUL. Asim was busing enjoying his mother’s cooking but took breaks to watch BREATHE with Abhishek Bachchan and THE OLD GUARD with Charlize Theron. Finally, we all watched or at least attempted to watch DIL BECHARA, the last movie made by Sushant Singh Rajput before his untimely demise.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is back for Episode 67 with Salman Khan’s DABANGG! Directed by Abhinav Kashyap, this 2010 movie co-starred Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Sonu Sood, Arbaaz Khan and introduced Sonakshi Sinha. For various unfortunate reasons, however, this movie has been back in the public eye of late - so we invited ace film critic and journalist Anna Vetticad (visit her site here) to discuss recent developments. Anna is also an author and has written *the* definitive deep dive into Salman Khan in addition to THE ADVENTURES OF AN INTREPID FILM CRITIC (available everywhere books are sold). Join us as we make our way through some messy times in Hindi cinema and discuss the phenomenon called Salman Khan.
