It's Beth ka Happy Budday! And to celebrate Gemini season, aka the sign of the twins, we decided to do a twin0centric episode (because really, what in the Manmohan Desai could be more Beth?) We discuss Haseena Maan Jayegi (1968), Sharmeelee (1971), Ghazab (1982), Jeans (1998), and Duplicate (1998). We also discuss the difference between actual twins vs doppelgangers. Tell us your favorite twin movies! Beth read out a bit of the good discussion of Jeans on Letterboxd but there's more! https://letterboxd.com/film/jeans/ Our dear friends at the Khandaan Podcast have, perhaps unwisely, asked both of us on to discuss twin movies!

Chances are, if you love Hindi cinema, you love Amitabh Bachchan and his films. Having grown up in the 90s, well past peak Bachchan mania, I've always wondered what it would've been like to have lived through that peak mania.  What must the thrill have been like to have witnessed his stardom at its peak? To get a better idea, I spoke with a small group of cinephiles and Bachchan fans who were fortunate enough to have watched the actor's 70s and 80s filmography on the big screen. I was joined by hardcore Bachchan fans, Sandeep Loyalka, M. Tanveer and Sandeep Padhi to share their memories of watching Bachchan on the big screen in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Among the stories and memories they shared: Watching Sholay multiple times, bumping into Ramesh Sippy one fine day, camping overnight outside the theatre for tickets, eagerly awaiting the daily newspaper for updates on the actor's health following his accident on the sets of Coolie (1983), and watching Bachchan's films in a small town in Odisha.Watching Bachchan on the big screen, back in the day!Feedback/comments/questions: loveofcinemasf@gmail.comCredits:Produced and hosted by: Himanshu (@loveofcinemasf8)Editor: Devika JoglekarMusic: Nakul AbhyankarCopyrights © Love of Cinema 2021Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/LoveOfCinema)

In this episode, Anurag Pandey talks about the legendary tales of Amitabh Bachchan & Manmohan Desai's iconic jodi!

Kader Khan was an extraordinary writer and actor. He was also one of the primary architects of, what I like to call, the Bachchan aura. He was instrumental in the careers of two other big stars as well - Jeetendra and Govinda. Sukanya Verma, film critic, quiz-maker, and a true blue Hindi film buff, joins us as we look back on Kader Khan's legacy. We talked about Kader Khan's difficult childhood, his course down the path of theatre, his early days in films, and his role in the towering career of Amitabh Bachchan. We also covered Khan's mastery over language, which was instrumental in being able to write outstanding dialogue for filmmakers with contrasting styles, like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra - makers of some of Bachchan's biggest films.Sukanya also touched on her favorite Kader Khan performances, Khan's subconscious imprint on the comedy of actors like Pankaj Tripathi, and why she is a big fan of Patal Bhairavi (1985) and Taqdeerwala (1995).Finally, I shared some cool trivia (sent in by a listener) about a dark film that Kader Khan had planned on writing and directing, with Amitabh Bachchan in the lead. This month, it will be two years since we lost Kader Khan. Join us, as we pay a small tribute, in our own way, to, as Sukanya likes to call him, "my favorite Khan."

There's nothing like first love, especially when it's projected on the silver screen. This week's episode of the podcast revisits formative cinematic fascinations—one director who kickstarted cinephilia at a young age, and another who reinvigorated and maybe even recontextualized the passion a bit later down the road. This week's participants—Nick Davis, professor of film, literature, and gender studies at Northwestern; Girish Shambu, author of The New Cinephilia and the September/October FC feature on immigration cinema “A Double Life”; Michael Koresky, Director of Editorial and Creative Strategy at the Film Society of Lincoln Center; and Violet Lucca, Film Comment Digital Producer and podcast host—took a breather between TIFF screenings to discuss their favorites, as well as how their emotions have evolved with (or been challenged by) the passage of time. Jane Campion, Manmohan Desai, Ingmar Bergman, and Quentin Tarantino make this half!
