Khandaan- A Bollywood Podcast

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we’re discussing CITADEL: HONEY BUNNY on Amazon Prime.  Directed by Raj and DK, Honey Bunny stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan along with Kay Kay, Simran and Saqib Saleem. We talk about what this show does better than the original and what really stood out to us.  We also discuss DO PATTI on Netflix. Produced by & starring Kriti Sanon and co-produced & written by Kanika Dhillon, this thriller is rather less than thrilling. Co-starring a self conscious Kajol, this movie is mostly a vehicle for Kriti and nothing more.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we’re discussing JOSH (2000). This was a request from our friend, Patreon, and editor extraordinaire, Yamini. And we’re trying very hard not to judge her for it. This Mansoor Khan directorial feels a lot older than it is and stars Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai as twins with a dark Portuguese past in 1980s Goa. There’s also Chandrachur Singh, Priya Gill and Sharad Kapoor in key roles.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we’re mining a very old gem - Aziz Mirza’s RAJU BAN GAYA GENTLEMAN (1992).

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.   Follow us on Socials: Amrita, Sujoy, Asim YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok Sujoy's Instagram  Amrita's YouTube Book Channel- Amrita By The Book You can listen to Khandaan- A Bollywood Podcast episodes on the following apps: Apple Podcast Spotify Jio Saavn Deezer Audible Amazon Music Omny iHeart TuneIn

Support Khandaan Podcast on Patreon from 1$.This week's bonus episode is about some nostalgic Amitabh Bachchan movies! 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 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. Our Tiger series retrospective is now available as a Patreon exclusive.

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.   Show notes: Follow us on Socials: Amrita, Sujoy, Asim YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok Sujoy's Instagram  Amrita's YouTube Book Channel- Amrita By The Book You can listen to Khandaan- A Bollywood Podcast episodes on the following apps: Apple Podcast Spotify Jio Saavn Deezer Audible Amazon Music Omny iHeart TuneIn

Sign up to our new Khandaan Podcast Newsletter! Next issue is about to drop... 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.

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: 6.00 Can Bollywood Survive?   Asim was a guest on the BBC's Asian Network.

Asim, Sujoy and Amrita catch up on all the latest happenings, including: MADE IN HEAVEN S2 starring Shobhita Dhulipalia, Arjun Mathur, Jim Sarbh, Mona Singh, Vijay Raaz, Kalki Koechlin, and a whole host of other fine performers. This long awaited series premiered to middling reviews and unexpected scandals and we dive deep.  Keeping with the Excel theme, we discuss the casting news and surrounding frenzy for DON 3 which will now feature Ranveer Singh. How can Khandaan not have an opinion? Talking of the previous Don, we have thoughts about the songs of JAWAN, which we cannot wait to watch.  Sujoy and Amrita went to the theatres to watch JAILER with Rajnikanth, Vinayakan, Ramya, and a bunch of fun cameos. Asim watched HEART OF STONE aka Alia Bhatt's Hollywood debut on Netflix.

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   Don’t forget to subscribe!

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.

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.
