Khandaan- A Bollywood Podcast

• Episode 276: Saiyaara, Metro In Dino, Sister Midnight & Aap Jaisa Koi Reviews

  Patreon Bonus this week: Amrita's 5 min catch ups with fun and gossip that are full episodes here We're also active on Tik Tok so follow us here The Khandaan team dives headfirst into the latest pop culture meteor: Saiyaara – the YRF hit film that no one saw coming. We unpack its unexpected virality, emotional ending, and the fan reactions flooding TikTok – from all across the globe– as Asim forces Sujoy and Amrita to drop everything and watch it. Amrita cathes up with Metro In Dino and Sujoy is obsessed with the soundtrack. Then it’s on to Mohit Suri’s cinematic redemption via the emo classic Awaarapan. Yes, Sujoy has thoughts. Yes, they’re emotional. We also take a detour through his newer offerings (Sister Midnight, anyone?) and Aap Jaisa Koi. We also discuss: Metro In Dino – and the larger question: can these multi-character dramas still work? Aap Jaisa Koi – songs vs films, vibes vs substance It’s messy, chaotic, and unfiltered – just how you like it. 💖 Join Our Patreon & Get Exclusive Perks! 💖 Love Bollywood?

• Ep 275- Sitaarein Zameen Par Review

  In this very special episode, the entire Khandaan team—Asim, Sujoy, and Amrita—is together in London and recording live. We sat down in the middle of a very hot British summer to review Aamir Khan’s long-awaited return to the screen with Sitarein Zameen Par. Is this an emotional sequel or an accidental parody?Does Aamir’s magic still work with the next generation?And how does this film stack up against Taare Zameen Par, Secret Superstar, and other “message with a heart” movies? We unpack it all—narrative swings, surprisingly good child actors, and that very Aamir ending. Important announcement:Your entire Khandaan is currently in London filming hours of brand-new video content—our first time in-studio together, with chaos guaranteed.Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to catch it all as we roll it out.

Blame the British summer, not the vibes. Leave us a review, share with your filmi friends, and let us know what you thought of Sitarein Zameen Par. We are now on Blue Sky!

• Ep 272: Ram Lakhan – Mind Havelis, Cable TV & Full 80s Dhamaka

  This week's Patreon Bonus is available for free! Watch my monthly Letterboxd wrap up video here The Khandaan gang is back with the next entry in our 80s Dhamaka series—and this time, it’s Subhash Ghai’s iconic masala bonanza Ram Lakhan (1989). Picked by our Patreon supporters, this episode dives deep into the unforgettable world of two brothers, high-octane revenge plots, iconic songs, and the kind of full-blown filmi logic that defined a generation. We discuss: Why Ram Lakhan is peak 80s masala cinema The sheer charisma of Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff How this film influenced Bollywood for decades to come The soundtrack’s everlasting legacy—from My Name is Lakhan to Tera Naam Liya Why Amrita thinks it’s basically the Avengers of desi VHS Sujoy’s nostalgia from Chitrahaar to Zee Cinema reruns Asim’s obsession with Debu the American Plus: Havelis, vengeful widows, song interludes every 6 minutes, and the chaotic joy of watching Bollywood do everything at once. 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?

• Ep 271: Namak Halaal – Disco, Dialogue, and Dadu Trauma

  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.⁠ Khandaan continues the 80s Dhamaka series with one of Amitabh Bachchan’s most iconic—and polarizing—comedies: Namak Halaal (1982). Is this peak masala madness or a nostalgia trip gone wrong? In this episode, Asim passionately defends his childhood favorite while Amrita and Sujoy wrestle with the film’s dated humor, dizzying plot logic, and eyebrow-raising romance arcs. We discuss: The comedy Amitabh debate — genius or grating? The legacy of Kader Khan’s unforgettable one-liners Bappi Lahiri’s absolute banger of a soundtrack (Pag Ghungroo, Raat Baaki, Jawaani Jaaneman) Smita Patil's rain-soaked dance number and the discomfort behind the scenes The villain lair logistics (seriously, where do you even buy a villain lair?) Dadu-related emotional trauma and masala film magic Disco suits, absurd aliases, and Shashi Kapoor’s unexpectedly spicy side Next episode of the 80's Dhamaka will be Ram Lakhan (Dhina Dhin Da!) 💖 Join Our Patreon & Get Exclusive Perks! 💖 Love Bollywood?
