Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast’s catchup episode. 

This week we’re reading listener emails, talking about our projects and just generally checking in with each other and you. Come join us!

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we’re discussing Imtiaz Ali’s CHAMKILA on Netflix.

Starring Diljit Singh and Parineeti Chopra, Chamkila tells the story of Punjab’s brightest star who was shot down in his prime. We are joined by Pulkit Kochar who has personal memories of Chamkila and his music to discuss the film.

Asim and Sujoy then discuss why Bade Miyan Chote Miyan failed so badly at the box office after having to sit through it.

(We had some sever audio issues midway during recording hence the delay in posting)

Hope you enjoy!

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

Starring a very young Shahrukh Khan and the freshest, most beautiful Juhi Chawla, watching Raju… is like stepping into a time machine. With a classic Nana Patekar performance and a fiery Amrita Singh to provide pizzazz, Raju… brought back quite a few memories for us.
