Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we’re travelling back to 2008 to discuss GHAJINI. Directed by AR Murugadoss, this Aamir Khan starrer was the original juggernaut that sent Bollywood into a tailspin about the money it was minting. It established the 100 crore club and forever changed the way we talk about the movies in Hindi cinema. Co-starring Asin and Jiah Khan, this was the remake of a very successful Tamil movie and it also set the stage for the “southification” of Hindi action movies for the next decade. Given its impact, how does it hold up? Join Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy to get the lowdown.

| 31 Oct 2023 | Ep 206- A Bollywood State of Mind- Author Prof Sunny Singh INTV | 00:57:36 | |
This week we have an extra episode for our lovely listeners! Asim talks to Prof. Sunny Singh about her new book: A Bollywood State of Mind - available in all book stores! We had Sunny on all the way back during our Thugs of Hindostan review so it was a joy to delve a little into her book and mind. She sent us a copy before our chat and we absolutely loved the book. Here is a summary: A Bollywood State of Mind is a personal, intellectual and emotional journey which crosses five continents and 50 years of modern Indian history and cinema and explores why Bollywood means so much to so many across the globe. Sunny describes how this exceptional cinema retains its hold on the national imagination, how Bollywood has enhanced India’s global standing in the 21st century, and how its characteristics endure despite the social and political changes.Ranging over history, aesthetic theory and politics, A Bollywood State of Mind explores encounters with Bollywood in the market places of Dakar and Marrakesh, in the nightclubs of New York, Barcelona and Mexico City, and in the ruins of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, Petra and beyond. It shows how the pioneers and heroes of Bollywood cut across national, linguistic and cultural lines not only in India but in far reaches of Somalia, Peru, Malaysia and Russia. The book is available here if you do decide to buy it, do drop her a message on her twitter/X If you are in the UK you can also join her in one of the following venues for her book tour.

Asim had the opportunity to see KENNEDY, Anurag Kashyap’s latest venture into nihilism and attend a Q&A. And of course, we talk about DUNKI, the third of Shahrukh Khan’s big 2023 releases, directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Show notes: Follow us on Socials:

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week you can catch up on our flash Instagram Live. Our freewheeling conversation included the Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahabi trailer review with attendant social media psychosis, the problem with Arjit Singh, and a few listener emails. We took questions live from our audience and it was all pretty funny. Keep an eye out for more such lives - we'd love to have you join us. Show Notes: Follow us on Socials:

| 02 Aug 2023 | Ep 194 - ROCKY AUR RANI KI PREM KAHANI | 01:24:43 | |
Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we're delighted to review ROCKY AUR RANI KI PREM KAHANI (2023). Directed by the one and only Karan Johar, this movie stars Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Shabana Azmi, Dharmendra, and Jaya Bachchan among others. A rollicking romcom very much in the Dharma tradition that somehow manages to be fresh, dramatic, and delightful, RARKPK is already being hailed as a classic. We invited our friend Salandthebadpun, for whom this movie appears to have been customized, to join Amrita and Sujoy as we discuss how delightful it is to review a proper Bollywood movie again.

| 25 May 2022 | Ep 134- 1992 The Year That Changed Bollywood- Audio Essay- Khandaan Podcast | 00:51:28 | |
This week's Khandaan Podcast is something a little different. As you know, we launched our Patreon channel earlier this year with the intention of trying new formats, experimenting with content, and just creating a little space where we can do things that might not fit with the main feed. Today, we have Amrita who is kicking it off with an audio essay about 1992: the Year that Changed Bollywood. I don't know how many of you realized what a big anniversary year 2022 is for those of us who love Bollywood, so we decided to reach out to a few friends who grew up watching Bollywood same as us and asked them to tell us about their memories of 1992 and mashed it up with Amrita's essay. So what you're about to listen is a group project - Khandaan style! Enjoy! A Big thanks to all the contributors, do check them out and give them a follow: Pitu Sultan, Manish Mathur, Aneela Babar, PappuChaaru, Uday Bhatia, Irfan, SalAndTheBadPun, Adithya Srikrishna, DJ Shai Guy, Dr.Sunny Singh Shownotes: Patreon: So you can help support us and grow our podcast by contributing | |||
| 06 Dec 2023 | Ep 212- Animal and Sam Bahadur Reviews | 01:29:56 | |
Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we’re discussing our inner ANIMAL this week. But first, Amrita talks about Meghana Gulzar’s SAM BAHADUR (03.06) starring Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub and others. The movie belongs to Vicky who is shaping up to be the most interesting and perhaps most successful star of his generation but is that enough to save this movie? And then we go straight into our main review of Sandeep Vanga Reddy’s Animal (19.24) starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandana, Bobby Deol and others. Once again, this is a movie anchored by the bravura performance of its lead actor but there’s a lot to discuss with this one. Show notes: Follow us on Socials:

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we’re discussing FIGHTER. Director Siddharth Anand’s PATHAAN featured heavily in our “best of” lists last year so we were looking forward to this movie, an aerial extravaganza starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone for the first time together. Unfortunately, we thought it was soulless and empty. Join us to know more. Show notes:

Sign up to our new Khandaan Podcast Newsletter! Welcome to a brand new episode of KHANDAAN: A BOLLYWOOD PODCAST where we have plenty of things to discuss: We watched the Indian THE NIGHT MANAGER (Disney Hotstar) (47.00) with Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor, and Shobhita Dhulipalia. Amrita and Sujoy watched TAJ:Divided By Blood (Zee5) (41.15) touted to be the platform’s most expensive production and starring Naseeruddin Shah, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Sandhya Mridul amongst others. Asim was invited to a viewing of SELFIEE(56.00) starring Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi. Sujoy tried to struggle through LEGEND (22.15) and GULMOHAR (38.30) and succeeded more or less. We also have plenty of opinions about Billi Billi (14.45), the new song from Salman Khan’s Kabhi Souten Kabhi Saheli. And we round it off by discussing Show me the Thumka (23.30) and O Bedardeya (30.50) from Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor’s Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar.

| 04 Apr 2024 | Ep 226- Madgaon Express and Crew Review | 00:45:37 | |
Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we’re enjoying a rare week of happy movies. First, Sujoy and Amrita watched MADGAON EXPRESS, a slacker comedy that delivers more than its trailer promised from debutant filmmaker Kunal Kemmu. Starring Avinash Tiwary, Pratik Gandhi, Dhivyendu, and Nora Fatehi along with a strong supporting cast, this is a very confident debut for Kemmu as a director. Next we all fell in love once again with Kareena Kapoor (and Tabu and Kriti Sanon) in CREW. From the stable of ace feminist producer Rhea Kapoor, this Rajesh Krishnan directorial was funny, sexy, and promises to be a giant hit. Co-starring Diljit Dosanjh, Kapil Sharma, Khulbhushan Kharbanda and others, this was the perfect weekend watch. Trailers:

| 14 Jul 2022 | Ep 141- Veer Zaara | 00:58:18 | |
Directed by Yash Chopra, with recreated music by the late, great Madan Mohan, VEER ZAARA (2004) is the kind of old-school Bollywood filmmaking you’d be hard-pressed to find today. Starring Shahrukh Khan as an Indian who falls in love with a Pakistani, played by Preity Zinta, and ably supported by a stunning cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Manoj Bajpayee, Boman Irani, Anupam Kher, Kirron Kher, Divya Dutta, and Zora Sehgal, Veer Zaara is a visual feast for more reasons than one. Join us as we dive into this movie and explore why it appears to have all but disappeared from pop culture, and how this might be that rare film that improves in hindsight.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we’re throwing back to READY (2011). Starring Salman Khan and his coterie of friends along with all the character actors you’ve heard of and haven’t heard of, this movie was directed by Anees Bazmee. The fact that this movie made money is a testament to Salman’s star power. We have many, many opinions. But first, join us as we discuss the SELFIEE trailer - an Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi remake of the Malayalam film Driving Licence, that might actually be good. We also talk about the new song - Munda Sona Hoon Main- from SHEHZAADA starring Kartik Aryan and the remix of Achcha Sila Diya starring Nora Fatehi and Rajkumar Rao (?). We hope you will all check out CINEMA MARTE DAM TAK as well. Shownotes: Khandaan Pathan Meet up: You can book tickets here Link to the original Acha Sila Diya by Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we're joined by our friend Get_Filmy to discuss a variety of things but most importantly JAWAN. We begin by discussing SCAM 2003: THE TELGI STORY on Sony Liv. A well-received follow up to SCAM 1992 on the same service, this follows the intricacies of a small man who dreams big in an India where all kinds of things are possible. That is also the main theme of BAMBAI MERI JAAN on Amazon Prime, which chronicles the rise of Dawood Ibrahim in a crime-ridden Bombay of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Featuring bravura performances by the main cast and a stylish, slick directing style, this Excel production really reels you in. We also discuss the trailer for THE GREAT INDIAN FAMILY, starring Vicky Kaushal and Manushi Chillar with an interesting premise. Will this work at the Indian box office? And last, of course, we discuss Jawan, which shows no signs of stopping its rampage. Get_Filmy tells us off for our lack of appreciation and we discuss the fallout over the past few weeks.

Since the team is on their summer break, we decided to delve into our Podcast Bollywood Edition archives and pull out our review of Raees. A vastly underrated movie that seems to be getting some late praise and one we haven't covered yet on Khandaan Podcast. Another reason this is a good trip down memory lane as this is the first time Amrita and me podcasted together. Beth and Sujoy had appeared before.

| 04 Oct 2022 | Ep 152- PS1 and Vikram Vedha Reviews + INTV (Radhika Apte, Gayatri and Pushkar) | 01:35:59 | |
Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we discuss two of this week's mega releases - PONNIYIN SELVAN - 1 and VIKRAM VEDHA. But first, our musical correspondent Asim went to the Pasoori concert (04m20s) in London and has many thoughts about the production. Next, we saw the brand new teaser for ADIPURUSH (11m40s)starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan as Ram, Sita, and Raavan respectively and… it's quite something. Sujoy and Amrita both watched Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan (18m25s) - I starring Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Karthi, Trisha, Jeyam Ravi, Prakash Raj, Jayaram and many others, and had slightly divergent thoughts while agreeing that it is a cinematic achievement. For those who're unfamiliar with the source material, we've worked out a strategy that you should first read the plot wiki before watching the film, just to keep up with all the characters. And lastly, all three of us watched Vikram Vedha(45m30s) starring Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, and Radhika Apte. This (very loud) remake of the Tamil movie by its original directors is bound to work better for those who have not seen the version with Vijay Sethupathi and Madhavan. As a bonus, you can hear Asim interview the director duo Gayatri and Pushkar (1h16m20s) and Radhika Apte (1h28m10s)at the end of this episode. Our video interviews are a Patreon exclusive, so if you want to see them, do consider signing up to Khandaan's Patreon page from 1 USD onwards We also announce our first Khandaan London meet up! Sujoy and Asim will be watching Maula Jatt at the O2 Arena- Cineworld afternoon show on Saturday the 15th of October.

Join the final days of #KhandaanBracket on twitter here
Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast which is gearing up for its 200th episode! We talk about the Khandaan Bracket that we're running on Twitter and what went into its making. The winner will feature on episode 199. We also discussed the Bollywood documentary released by friend of the podcast Haroon Rashid, " Can Bollywood Survive?", as well as his interview with a post Gadar 2 Sunny Deol that continues to make waves. We round things off with a discussion of Raj and DK's GUNS AND GULAABS starring Dulquer Salmaan, Gulshan Devaiah, Rajkumar Rao, Adarsh Gourav, and others before launching into our main review: 1993's PARAMPARA. Directed by Yash Chopra, this was Saif Ali Khan's debut film and it took us to many unexpected, half-remembered places. Starring Sunil Dutt, Vinod Khanna, Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Raveena Tandon, Ashwini Bhave, Ramya Krishnan, and many others, this is the kind of Hindi movie that doesn't really get made any more. And maybe that's a good thing. Show Notes: Asim was a guest on the BBC's Asian Network.

Sign up to our new Khandaan Podcast Newsletter! Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is a blast from the past - specifically, Aamir Khan’s past. Tum Mere Ho (1990), directed by Tahir Hussain a.k.a. The Aamir Dad has everything: a wronged and vengeful snake mom, a grubby dad, a lost heir, a damsel beset by zaalim samaaj, intense young love, unique tribal customs, terrible costumes, and a fuzzy timeline that ensures we’re never quite sure when all of this action is taking place. Co-starring the always delightful Juhi Chawla and a thoroughly awkward Kalpana Iyer as a snake with tragic fashion sense, Tum Mere Ho is a classic for all the best reasons as previously outlined by Pretentious Movie Reviews. A Short Timeline: 01.15 Asim and Sujoy watched Baahubali at the Royal Albert Hall with a live orchestra and it was magical. 11.50 Channel 4 in the UK has an interesting line up of films for you to watch and top friend Beth is back to give the lowdown on one of the films: Satyajit Ray’s Kapurush. 17.50 Asim can live again as Dabangg 3 gears for release. 23.50 Obviously Asim is a huge Vidyut Jammwal fan and a Pitu tangent about the career of Neil Nitin Mukesh 32.05 The Main Review: Tum Mere Ho

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and our take on some trending content! Asim, Sujoy and Amrita reunite to discuss SALAAM VENKY starring Kajol, which gave us all deja vu for some reason. Next, Vicky Kaushal is upto no good with Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar in GOVINDA NAAM MERA and we’re not sure what to make of it, frankly. Maybe it’ll be good? Yet another film giving us pause is AN ACTION HERO with Ayushmann Khurana, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Nora Fatehi. We got off the wrong foot when it tried to do Nora dirty. And finally, we discuss Kartik Aryan’s FREDDY, which gives us strong Dexter vibes. Come for the speculation, stay for the discussion that goes completely off the rails.
