In Episode 15 of the Khandaan Podcast, we switch up our format for a special series: over the next few episodes, we will discuss movies nominated by our audience as their all-time favorites. We begin with 1992’s Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. Starring Aamir Khan, this was the second film made by cousins Aamir and Mansoor Khan, co-starring Ayesha Jhulka, Dipak Tijori, Pooja Bedi, and the always reliable Khulbhushan Kharbanda among others. We are joined this week by The Guardian’s [Mike McCahill](https://twitter.com/mike_mccahill), who was watching this movie for the very first time whereas Asim, Sujoy and Amrita grew up with this film and its soundtrack as a constant in their younger lives. This movie is also rich in Bollywood trivia, some of which might be found [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROlOyNMsm0U) in the reunion staged by Anupama Chopra and Rajeev Masand (yes, this is the same video that almost drove Amrita mad.) We also discuss the brand-new release Sanju, the whitewash special directed by Raju Hirani starring an eerily excellent Ranbir Kapoor, who rebounds in style from a couple of years of less-than-successful films. Co-starring Sonam Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Karishma Tanna, Anushka Sharma, and Dia Mirza, this movie should have been a knockout but sadly isn’t. Lastly, we look at Sacred Games, the first Indian original commissioned by Netflix. Starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead, ably supported by a large cast of pitch perfect actors (including Kubra Sait, Radhika Apte, Neeraj Kabi, Jitendra Joshi and others), it’s based on the Vikram Chandra novel and adapted to screen by Varun Grover, Smita Singh (not Bansal as Amrita says in the podcast, sorry), and Vasant Nath. Co-directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap, this series sparked quite a bit of conversation. Subscribers are reminded that Khandaan is currently accepting nominations for our special run. Please send your suggestions for movies of the Khans that you feel we must watch to [upodcasting@gmail.com](upodcasting@gmail.com). Note: The Khandaan podcast is an interactive experience!

For episode 16, we have Shah Rukh Khan’s early era.
Co-founder of Magnetic Fields Festival, Smita Singh, who DJs under the alias AGENT has been on a meteoric rise. Since she started hitting the club circuit, the Goa-based DJ has gained recognition for her distinctive brand of hard-hitting, bass-heavy dance music. But it’s on her boxout.fm radio show ‘World Ocean’ where she has truly perfected her craft. It seemed about time AGENT dropped a mix for Wild City. The near hour-long mix builds slowly from ‘Cloudy Others’ by Sebastien Casanova until it takes a turn into the dance-floor-friendly vibe AGENT has become renowned for. Shining a spotlight on sounds you’re not likely to hear anywhere else, there’s a smattering of music from around the world wrapped in a traditional house beat. Though it takes a while for the mix to get you moving, AGENT will have listeners dancing by the end of it. Through her selection, she also guarantees to make you you obsessively check the tracklist.

Listen in today as I chat to one of my new heroes from India. Smita tells us why she works in the world of human trafficking, how young women are so resilient, why the issue is not always related to poverty and how she thinks things are getting better.BiographySmita grew up in a Christian home where she was inspired to help others. She knew at a young age that she would pursue a degree in clinical psychology. Once she graduated, she worked as a counsellor for a drug and rehabilitation clinic. Then continuing to follow her heart, she made the transition into an international justice organization that rescued young girls who were sold into the sex trade in Kolkata.As she participated in this work, helping to rescue over 171 girls, Smita noticed that many times they were rescuing the same girls and realized the need to good aftercare to prevent re-trafficking. She set out to start a holistic aftercare home that was dramatically different than the existing institutions that were like “processing warehouses” for rescued girls. In 2010 her vision became a reality when Mahima opened its doors to their first aftercare home.Mahima is a holistic ministry that is made up of a set of licensed aftercare facilities in Kolkata for the rescue and restoration of girls who were trafficked as minors into the sex trade. In 2010, Mahima opened its doors meeting a huge need for good aftercare in order to prevent re-trafficking, promote healing and restoration within the girls’ lives as well as the prosecution of perpetrators.She is supported and funded through an organization working to develop leaders in the Global South called Partners International.
