Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast kicks off 2021 with Episode 87 in which we are joined by Top Friend Beth (https://twitter.com/bethlovesbolly) from Beth Loves Bollywood (https://t.co/PrfJLj74Pm?amp=1) to discuss all the movies and shows we’ve been watching through the end of the year. Amrita and Beth watched BRIDGERTON (11m40s), the new Shondaland romance on Netflix. Everyone was super excited to watch WONDER WOMAN 1984 (43m48s)but it was sadly a racist, turgid mess and nobody has anything good to say about it. SOUL (38m10s) took Sujoy and Asim by storm while Beth really couldn’t handle COOLIE NO.1 (55m40s)starring Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan, which was rather less than the frothy fun promised to us. Finally, Vikramaditya Motwane’s AK vs. AK (1h12m36s)starring Anil Kapoor & Family vs. Anurag Kashyap is one of the funniest, wittiest movies to have emerged from Hindi cinema in recent years, replete with Easter eggs for the discerning Hindi cinema buff.  Join us next time as we go through our list of the highs and lows of 2020.

The co-host of [Bollywood Is For Lovers podcast](https://audioboom.com/channel/bollywood-is-for-lovers), [Matt Bowes](https://twitter.com/matt_bowes), joins Shah Shahid to compare the legendary Hollywood movie [Chinatown](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071315/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), to its (apparent) Bollywood remake, [Manorama Six Feet](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0920464/?ref_=nv_sr_1). We discuss how the remake modifies the pre-Los Angeles landscape into rural Indian setting while trying to maintain the essence of the original screenplay. Also Hindi to English linguistics, for some reason. SHOW NOTES: Shah confesses a dark secret to Matt about [Chinatown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatown_(1974_film)).

This episode is the first time that we compared two movies, remade by the same director, in Bollywood and Hollywood. Shah is joined by [Erin Fraser](https://mobile.twitter.com/erinefraser), co-host of [Bollywood Is For Lovers](https://audioboom.com/channel/bollywood-is-for-lovers), to compare Vidhu Vinod Chopra's original Bollywood movie Parinda, to his own Hollywood remake, Broken Horses.  SHOW NOTES:  Erin discusses how she stumbled onto [Bollywood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood) and why she does what she does. We get to know Erin and her thoughts on remakes; what she's indifferent about, and what annoys her. Shah spends a LONG time gushing about [Erin's show](https://audioboom.com/channel/bollywood-is-for-lovers). Which he claims he was not paid to do. Erin provides a Spoiler-free Synopsis of [Parinda.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102636/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) Erin and Shah discuss our mutual awe at Parinda and how ahead of its time it was for a Bollywood movie. They discuss [Vidhu Vinod Chopra](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006765/?ref_=tt_ov_dr) and his influence in Bollywood, along with his different roles in the industry. Erin and Shah marvel at the terrible-ness of [Broken Horses.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2503954/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_3) It's almost like the director of both these movies, devolved in talent and ambition, over the years.
