    Patreon bonus episodes whilst we were away: Live Reaction: Sitaare Zameen Par and Thug Life Trailer and Laal Pari Bonus Patreon: Too Sad to Be Funny, Too Funny to Be Cancelled This week on Khandaan: chaos, candour, and a touch of Shah Rukh. After a short break, the full Khandaan crew is back in the house—and we’re not easing in gently. In this episode, we dive headfirst into everything that’s been on our minds: the personal cost of conflict, censorship in media, and how Bollywood fits into a world that feels increasingly divided. From WhatsApp group tensions to government-issued podcast warnings (!), this is one of our most personal episodes yet. 🎙️ What we talk about: The India–Pakistan conflict and how it’s impacted real friendships Media propaganda, misinformation, and the risks of being "too political" Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par trailer—can it survive the noise? Suhana Khan in King—is this the launch her stardom needs or a risky bet? Bhool Chuk Maaf, Sanam Teri Kasam, Lal Pari, and why viral Bollywood music won’t die The surreal podcasting moment when we found out we’d been flagged by the Indian government Our stance on love, peace, and why we'll always choose each other—even when it’s not popular 🎧 Plus: We laugh through the weirdness of Housefull 5, dissect the awkward uncle energy of Akshay Kumar, and rant about Abhishek Bachchan’s rap career (again). If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong in your own fandom anymore, or you’re struggling with how to talk about art during political chaos—this one's for you. 💖 Join Our Patreon & Get Exclusive Perks! 💖 Love Bollywood?

    Ep 269- Patreon Listener Pick- Sangam (1964)
    Apr 23 2025
    This week Khandaan A Bollywood Podcast gives you a taster of the all the fun we have in our Patreon Community with a full episode available for the main feed. In this bonus episode of the Khandaan Podcast, it’s just Asim and Amrita catching up and having one of those classic, freewheeling chats you’ve come to expect from us. We cover a bunch of films, including a special listener’s pick – the iconic Sangam! Amrita saw Khalid Rehman's "Alappuzha Gymkhana" which makes us discuss about masculinity in today’s cinema – especially how it’s evolving in Malayalam films – and, of course, we reply to some of your comments and dive into comparing Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, their career choices, and their very different approaches to stardom. Then we dive headfirst into Sangam: Raj Kapoor’s love triangle extravaganza, packed with sweeping romance, societal expectations, and some surprising gender dynamics. We chat about the film’s historical context, its cultural impact, and even some of the off-screen drama involving the actors that may have shaped what we saw on screen. And yes – we talk about that soundtrack too. 🎶 Come hang out with us!

    Ep 268- Tezaab- 80s Dhamaka Series
    Apr 10 2025
    Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we’re taking a new look at an old favorite as part of our 80s Dhamaaka series: 1988’s TEZAAB. Directed by N. Chandra, this Anil Kapoor - Madhuri Dixit starrer is mostly remembered today for its iconic number, Ek Do Teen. But this is also an excellent example of 80s masala — violent, political, angsty, furious, and just plain fun. Costarring Chunky Pandey, Mandakini, Anupam Kher, and more, Tezaab is a real trip down nostalgia lane for us at the podcast. A big Shoutout to our friend Dj Shai Guy for the 80's Dhamaka Theme song.

    Ep 267- Sikandar and L2 Empuraan Review
    Apr 2 2025
    Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and we’re talking EMPURAAN and SIKANDAR with friend to the pod, Pappuchaaru. We took a break from our 80s Dhamaaka series to watch the Malayalam masala actioner, Empuraan. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, and a whole host of other actors including R10 himself, this movie has run into political foul weather just days after its release. We discuss how it all unfolded, the movie itself, and what this means for Malayalam cinema. And then we have a lot to discuss with Sikandar. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss (Ghajini, 2008), this movie stars Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi and others. Social media has already been ripping this movie apart. We discuss how low the bar has gotten and what lies ahead for Salman and the Hindi film industry. 💖 Join Our Patreon & Get Exclusive Perks! 💖 Love Bollywood?

    Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we’re continuing with our 80s Dhamaaka episodes. This week we have UMRAO JAAN. One of the most iconic cinematic moments of 1981, Umrao Jaan is widely considered to be Rekha’s most celebrated performance. Directed by Muzaffar Ali and with enduring music by Khayyam, Rekha plays the role of a famous courtesan who navigates love and family in the midst of the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. Costarring Naseeruddin Shah, Farooq Shaikh, Raj Babbar, Shaukat Azmi, Dina Pathak and others, Umrao Jaan is an essential part of 80s Hindi cinema.

    Ep 264- Tridev - 80s Dhamaka Series
    Mar 13 2025
    Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and the next movie in our 80s Dhamaka series is TRIDEV (1989). Directed and cowritten by Rajiv Rai, TRIDEV was a ginormous hit when it came out - enough for the Rais to repurpose it with Vishwatma a couple of years later. Starring Sunny Deol, Madhuri Dixit, Jackie Shroff, Sangeeta Bijlani, Naseeruddin Shah, Sonam, Amrish Puri and Anupam Kher among others, Tridev is still famous for its songs, composed by Kalyanji-Anandji although a case could be made that this was just an early Viju Shah soundtrack. This movie embodies the 80s vibe in a way that few others can pull off. The fashion, the songs, the villains, the homoerotic tension, there’s a lot to get through this week. A big Shoutout to our friend Dj Shai Guy for the 80's Dhamaka Theme song. You can check out more of Shai's work here 💖 Join Our Patreon & Get Exclusive Perks! 💖 Love Bollywood?

Starring Anil Kapoor, Meenakshi Seshadri, Nutan and Amrish Puri in lead roles, this Subhash Ghai movie written by Javed Akhtar is about as nonsensical as masala cinema gets. It is also one of the great pleasures of our movie watching lives. With music by Laxmikant Pyarelal and Javed Jaffrey making his breakdancing debut, every kid from the 80s knows their Meri Jung. Join us to see if it stands up to our nostalgia. A big Shoutout to our friend Dj Shai Guy for the 80's Dhamaka Theme song.
