Khandaan- A Bollywood Podcast

Welcome to another 80s Dhamaka! episode of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast. This time we're diving face-first into the drama, glamour, and full camp spectacle that is Rakesh Roshan's KHOON BHARI MAANG (1988). Starring Rekha, Kabir Bedi, Sonu Walia, and an extremely underpaid crocodile, this revenge thriller has everything: makeover montages, fashion show trauma, and villains who just won't die. Join us as Amrita leads a passionate defense of Rekha's action-heroine era, Sujoy questions the plot logic (and the horse), and Asim tries to make peace with crocodile VFX and the film's very unique pacing. We also revisit the film's legacy, its place in the 80s VHS canon, and why it deserves to be seen as more than a meme. A big shoutout to our friend DJ Shai Guy for the 80s Dhamaka theme song!

This weeks' Patreon are: Sujoy Watches Thug Life So You Don't Have To 5 Min Catchup: Amrita In this episode, we dove into Saagar (1985)—the ultimate Dimple Kapadia comeback and a masterclass in how to shoot slow-motion beach walks. We talked: Why Dimple is pure fire (even when Rishi and Kamal are doing the most) The unbearable softness of 80s Kamal Haasan Why this is basically the horniest film we've watched all season And of course, Sujoy's cinematic thirst for all things Sridevi, accidentally triggered by… Saagar? We're down to our final three films in the Dhamaka series—and now and if you are are a Khandaan Patreon you get to decide the order we tackle them in.

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.

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!)

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.

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.

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.

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.  

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. 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  

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we're taking a small break from our 80s Dhamaka episodes to bring you the audio of our YouTube livestream. We go through the upcoming slate of Netflix releases and what we're most excited about watching this year. We also answer questions from the audience during the livestream. You can also listen to our interview of Shahana Goswami, whose new film SANTOSH was the UK's submission for best picture at the Oscars earlier this year. Conducting the interview is friend of the podcast, the one and only Yamini aka Pappuchaaru. Shownotes: Trailer: Santosh You can watch the video version of our Khandaan Live Show with the comment section here Our Live reaction the the Sikandar trailer is available here

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  

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast's 80s Dhamaaka series features 1985's MERI JUNG this week. 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. You can check out more of Shai's work here  

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast's 80s Dhamaaka series continues with 1986's NAGINA.  Arguably the most famous snake film made in the Hindi film industry, this Sridevi starrer shattered records with its blockbuster debut. Co-starring Rishi Kapoor and a mesmerising Amrish Puri, this movie had amazing music and iconic dance numbers that can never be replicated. Directed by Harmesh Malhotra and with music by Laxmikant Pyarelal, Nagina was shoo in on this list — but does it deserve the spot? Join us to find out. 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  

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and our 80s Dhamaaka series! This week's feature is 1982's ARTH.  Starring Shabana Azmi, Khulbhushan Kharbanda, Raj Kiran, and Smita Patil in key roles, this Mahesh Bhatt directorial about marital infidelity is a classic of Hindi cinema. Drawn from Bhatt's short lived extramarital affair with Parveen Babi, Arth features some of the best performances by Hindi film actors as well as music that has stood the test of time.  Join us as we introduce this film to Asim and refresh our own memories. 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 

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and our new 80s Dhamaka movie — KAALIA (1981). Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Parveen Babi, Asha Parekh, Pran and Amjad Khan, this Tinnu Anand directorial was a top favorite going in for Asim and Amrita. Alas, they were bamboozled by the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia because this movie has some… issues. We discuss what we remembered, what we didn't, the music by RD Burman and the Bollywood history connected to this film. Join us as we continue to explore Hindi cinema in the 80s.  

Welcome to the first 80s Dhamaka! episode of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast. We kick things off with Subhash Ghai's KARZ (1980), an iconic reincarnation drama starring Rishi Kapoor, Simi Garewal, Tina Munim, Raj Kiran and Premnath. Join us as Asim watches the movie for the first time while Sujoy and Amrita compare their memories of this film to what it looks like today.  

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we're talking Classic Bollywood with CARAVAN (1971). Directed by Nasir Hussain and produced by Tahir Hussain (Aamir's dad), Caravan is a typically enjoyable proto-Bollywood adventure romp from the House of Hussain. Starring Asha Parekh, Aruna Irani, Helen, and Jeetendra among others, this movie is especially notable for its outstanding RD Burman soundtrack. We also discuss a couple of other recent Bollywood movies and their trailers / songs like BADASS RAVIKUMAR, LOVEYAPA, Bhassad Macha and BLACK WARRANT as well as Pakistan's first full length animated movie The Glassworker.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we're taking a trip down nostalgia lane with KAHO NA PYAAR HAI (2000). Directed by Rakesh Roshan, the debut of Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel remains a landmark blockbuster in the history of Hindi cinema. We discuss how no other director/producer father has been to replicate this launch for their progeny and how it set up both Hrithik and Ameesha for success. We talk about our memories of this movie and its place in pop culture. And we discuss what has held up over the years and what (or who) hasn't.

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 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?
