Khandaan- A Bollywood Podcast

Support Khandaan Podcast on Patreon from 1$.This week's bonus episode is our reviews of Monkey Man and The Goat Life!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Mindis 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 forher book tour.

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.

Co-starring SRK, Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, and a whole roster of talented actors, this movie is currently playing to sold out cinemas around the world.

We talk about what worked for us and what didn't and the context around this film. This is the audio recording of the Khandaan livestream on YouTube (video available on Patreon for as low as $1 a month) so it includes comments and questions asked by our listeners.

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.

Talking of the previous Don, we have thoughts about the songs of JAWAN, which we cannot wait to watch.

Sujoy watched THE TRIAL, the new streaming show starring Kajol as a desi The Good Wife. We're all fans of the original show so we had a bunch of thoughts. 

And lastly, we all watched KOHRRA on Netflix starring Barun Sobti and Savinderpal Vicky as seedy cops in Punjab who're investigating a gruesome murder.

Director Om Raut and co-writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla have delivered the impossible - a movie that unites all of India across religions, regions, political inclinations, and artistic tastes. Literally anyone and everyone with eyes hates this movie. 

We are joined by our friend Pappuchaaru, a Prabhas enthusiast, to discuss how we all got here, why we went to see the movie, and exactly what happened at the end of this Ramayana because none of us have any idea. If you understood the climax, please send an email to upodcasting@gmail.com and let us know what the heck happened.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we're discussing HUMRAAZ (2002).

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we're discussing TUMKO NA BHOOL PAYENGE (2002) this week.

Directed by Pankaj Parashar, this Salman Khan, Dia Mirza, Sushmita Sen starrer is a convoluted tale of a Muslim hitman who is double-crossed into losing his memory, turning into a rustic Hindu upper caste farmer instead.

So many jokes, and an entire episode to say them all. Join us to discuss what worked for us and what didn't.

Directed by Kunal Kohli, this YRF production was a casting coup featuring Aamir Khan opposite Kajol for the first time.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where today the review of the week is none other than DISCO DANCER (1982) starring Mithun Chakraborty.

This classic dance film, directed by Babbar Subhash (Kasem Paida Karne Wale Ki, Dance Dance, Love Love Love), can best be described as a series of scenes held together by some of the best disco music to have come out of India, courtesy the one and only Bappi Lahiri. Co-starring Rajesh Khanna, Om Puri, Karan Razdan, Kim, and Kalpana Iyer, this movie was a sensation when it came out. Join us on a surprising journey we didn’t expect to take.

We are watching this on request from our Patreon, Laina.

Our main review however is the new Prime show, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, Jubilee. This multi-part historical series about the early years of the Hindi film industry, featuring fictionalized stories of recognizable star-actors was a pure delight for these cinema buffs.

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

But despite their best efforts, all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and to a final stand that will determine whether their love can survive their otherness. Here is a link to the trailer.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we’re discussing PATHAAN! 

We’re joined by the amazing Haroon Rashid, whose new show at the BBC will soon be available [you can read more about it here] for this ginormous episode. 

Everyone and their mother went to watch Pathaan this past week and that included all four of us (who went twice each) as well as the Khandaan Meetup that took place in London on Saturday the 28th. So expect a very spoilerrific show. 

Starring hum sab ki Jaan Shah Rukh Khan, an incredibly hot Deepika Padukone, and an excellent John Abraham, we have tons to say about this Siddharth Anand movie and the YRF Spy Universe. Join us for a deep dive.

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 theSELFIEE 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.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast’s very first episode of 2023. In this episode, Asim, Sujoy, and Amrita take a look at the year ahead and discuss which movies are particularly interesting to us. We were very much on the money with our predictions for 2022 - can we repeat the feat for 2023? 

We also present our very first review of a current release for the new year with KUTTEY. Directed by Aasman Bharadwaj and starring everyone’s favorite scene stealers from Bollywood, we have a rather mixed response to this film.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where today we have plenty to say about AN ACTION HERO, BHEDIYA, QALA, and FREDDY. 

It’s raining new releases and your friendly neighbourhood podcast has a lot to say about them. Join us as we ponder the lack of enthusiasm for An Action Hero starring Ayushman Khurana and Jaideep Ahlawat; the outright failure of Bhediya starring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon; the lukewarm response to Freddy starring Kartik Aryan; and the return of one of our favorite debutant directors, Anvita Dutt, and muse, Tripti Damri in Netflix’s Qala.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and a long-awaited review - DON (2006). 

Last time, we had Top Friend Beth of BethLovesBollywood on to discuss the Amitabh Bacchan original and we discuss the long shadow cast by that film. We also talk about how Shahrukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar made the film uniquely their own to the point that Akhtar simply can’t escape it. Co-starring Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Boman Irani, Arjun Rampal, Om Puri and more of our favorites, Don is a movie we’ve been saving for a good day.

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.

Welcome to a brand new episode of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast! In this episode, Sujoy discusses DRISHYAM 2 starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Akshaye Khanna among others. We watched the Malayalam original when it released during the pandemic and were curious about how it translated into Hindi. Meanwhile, Asim watched the Telugu remake of another Malayalam film - GODFATHER starring Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan. Since Amrita had seen LUCIFER starring Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran when it came out, we ended up discussing the nature of remakes. Finally, Amrita watched the new season of DELHI CRIME, the Netflix show starring Shefali Shah and highly recommends it as a competent thriller.

Welcome to Episode 9 of the Khandaan Podcast, where we turn our eagle eyes toward Kal Ho Na Ho (2003), starring Shah Rukh Khan at the height of his stardom. Commonly believed to be a remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s weepie Anand (1971), starring Rajesh Khanna at the height of his stardom, KHNH is a souped-up melodrama best remembered nostalgically than rewatched in the present according to podcast consensus.

This week we are joined by guest host and writer/journalist Anisha Jhaveri as Sujoy continues to chase success as influencer to the sundar, susheel, and thodi special. Asim, Amrita and Anisha initially approached KHNH with eagerness, especially since it beat out Tere Naam, an excruciating Salman Khan remake of an excruciating South Indian film, but their joy soon turned to ashes as they were forced to confront that their nostalgia was misplaced and this movie was basically a sporadically funny, racist, homophobic mess with extremely unfortunate costume design.

We recommend you read Molly Ringwald’s excellent essay on dealing with problematic faves in retrospect after listening to this episode.

Episode 9 also includes a short discussion of the short-lived Salman Khan sentencing saga and Asim’s inability to properly understand the visual appeal of SRK walking around aimlessly while dressed in white linen.

 Note: The Khandaan podcast is an interactive experience! Please click below to vote for the next movie you think we should feature.

Episode 8 of the Khandaan Podcast features Chandramukhi (1993), starring Sridevi as a celestial being and Salman Khan as her child lover. An uncomfortable mish-mash of Tom Hanks’ Big by way of Telugu blockbuster Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari, starring Chiranjeevi and Sridevi, this little viewed film was a disaster at the box office – surprising none of us.

This week we are joined by guest host Tanvi from the MovieWalaPod in the absence of Sujoy, who is off launching a new career as Instagram model. Asim, Amrita and Tanvi all agreed that this was hands down the worst movie they have had to watch for a podcast, featuring: graphic child abuse, a pedophiliac alien, ALL the bad guys, and incredibly shoddy production values. We also discuss other movies that released the same year, notably Darr, and Asim requested an anthropology lesson regarding the finer techniques of dancing for Shiva, thereby exposing Tanvi and Amrita as Bad Indians. Thanks, Asim.

For a more appreciative review of Chandramukhi’s nonexistent charms, we recommend Beth Watkins’ much more patient article. In the meantime, Asim would like you to know this is not Chand ka Tukda, the other Sridevi-Salman starrer with much better music.

Episode 6 of the Khandaan Podcast finds co-hosts Sujoy and Amrita  joined by top friend Beth from BethlovesBollywood discussing our listener's  2012 pick Talaash starring Aamir Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor. The thriller was directed by Reema Kagti whose long awaited follow up is the Akshay Kumar starrer Gold of which we also discuss the trailer.

Our next episode is about 2005 so head over to our site to vote for which Khan movie we should review!

Episode 5 of the Khandaan Podcast finds co-hosts Asim, Sujoy, and Amrita discussing the first film voted to screen by their audience – 2001’s Salman Khan-starrer, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke (CCCC). First, however, we make a short foray into current cinema with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s extremely controversial Padmaavat, starring Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, and Ranveer […]

Episode 35 of the Khandaan podcast features our return from a much-needed break, so you know we’ve got something big for you - yes, it’s 1995’s monster hit, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge!

Aditya Chopra’s debut film changed Hindi cinema in ways that still influence filmmaking across South Asia today and turned Shahrukh Khan into a superstar. Co-starring Kajol, Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher, Satish Shah, Parmeet Sethi, Mandira Bedi and Himani Shivpuri in addition to a baby Karan Johar, DDLJ was a sensation when it released.

We are joined once again by Top Friend Beth of BethLovesBollywood fame to explore how well this movie has stood up to the ravages of time and its unique position in Bollywood history.

We also do a small catch up on things that happened while we were away.

Episode 34 of the Khandaan podcast is here for one last hurrah before we go on a short break for the month of April. Our special feature is 2001’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.

Directed by Karan Johar, this is an old fashioned mega starrer of the kind rarely seen these days - with Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor (Khan), Johnny Lever, Farida Jalal, Sushma Seth, Achala Sachdev, and a special appearance by Rani Mukherjee.

We threw open our Curious Cat once again for this episode because we knew you would all have tons to say and ask about this movie and we were correct! It’s clearly not as much of a favorite as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai but it has definitely established itself as a fan favorite over the years, especially on the internet where it has a cult following - if something this big and successful could be called a cult film. We are joined for this episode by our friend Ruchi who definitely had a lot to say.

This episode is being released with some quick thoughts on Sonchirya,  Lukka Chuppi and Made In Heaven(although you can hear us discuss Made in Heaven with Ruchi here) but for the rest it's a giant episode for a giant film.

Please point and laugh at all those weeping at the thought of a three-hour Avengers film.

Episode 32 of the Khandaan podcast brings to you the results of your vote - or that of dedicated Aamir bots, you be the judge - 1997’s Ishq, starring Aamir Khan, Juhi Chawla, Kajol and Ajay Devgan with Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Dalip Tahil, Johnny Lever, Tiku Talsania, and Mohan Joshi in key roles.

Directed by Indra Kumar, Ishq was a massive success when it came out, despite a chaotic production schedule that effectively destroyed the Aamir-Juhi pairing forever. To discuss this film, we’re joined once more by Haroon Rashid of the BBC, who has always maintained that Ishq is his all-time favorite Bollywood film. Although we did our best to ruin it for him, he ran the gauntlet and emerged more or less unscathed.

Episode 30 of the Khandaan podcast stars Aamir Khan in a movie directed by Kiran Rao - 2011’s Dhobi Ghat with Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra, and Kriti Malhotra. Joining us to discuss this surprise winner (the other movies up for votes this week included Dabangg and My Name is Khan) is the BBC’s Ashanti Omkar, who has a personal connection to the film. Dhobi Ghat proved to be an interesting topic for conversation, more so because it raised some important points about context and intent in art and cinema; and how perceptions can change over time.
We also discuss a few new projects: Sujoy was the only one to watch Isn’t It Romantic, the new Rebel Wilson romcom co-starring Priyanka Chopra, and he has some non-spoilery thoughts. On the topic of PC, we also discuss Sucker, the brand new single by the Jonas Bros. co-starring their significant others (including Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner). We also have a few things to say about KGF, the big Kannada movie creating waves across India, and Super Deluxe, an upcoming Tamizh movie.

Episode 26 of the Khandaan podcast kicks off 2019 in style! Thank you for joining us in the new year as we return to our voting roots and discuss the Khan movie of your choice - 2009’s Wanted starring Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia, Mahesh Manjrekar, and Prakash Raj. Directed by Prabhudeva, this south remake marked the Bhai Renaissance and we go into some detail about its history. 

We are joined by Manish Mathur of Talk Film Society who outs himself as an early Ayesha Takia fan but is now an expert on all things M. Night Shyamalan-related. You can (and should) follow his hugely interesting podcast on the films of Shyamalan here. Asim will be on the next episode!

The next year up is 1998 and we have some beloved Bollywood classics up for a vote here.

Welcome to Episode 23 of the Khandaan podcast in which we welcome Shivani Tripathi (@Shivani510) writer for The Aerogram, Brown Girl Magazine, The NRI and the return of friend of the show Anisha Jhaveri (@Jhavanis).

In this episode, we go back to one of the earliest releases of Aamir Khan, Raakh- directed by Aditya Bhattacharya. The movie is tough to find even though there was a Redux version released in theaters, the home release was stalled.

The movie also stars Supriya Pathak and Pankaj Kapur but they don't share any screen time together. The movie was a box office failure but has been gaining some critical acclaim after the redux version released in festivals.

We also discuss how the latest season of Koffee With Karan has been working for us.

The emergence of  box office draws Ayushmann Khuranna (Vicky Kaushal, Rajkummar Rao) and if there is a changing of the guard for Bollywood heroes.

Asim also forces everyone to watch the new song promo for Zero, Mera Naam Tu as he wants to talk about his favorites as usual.

If there are movies or guests you would like to see featured, do remember to drop us a line at upodcasting@gmail.com.

We have also brought back the listener's poll so head out to the link below to choose which 2014 movie we'll be discussing on the next episode!

You can vote for PK, Kick, Jai Ho or Happy New Year!
