    3 Film Deal: Dream Launch or Career Crunch

    Send us a text This week, we’re diving into Bollywood’s most famous contract, the three-film deal. You’ve seen the stars it created, like Ranveer, Alia, and Anushka, and the ones it left hanging between scripts and studio promises. We’re unpacking how Yash Raj Films turned signings into stardom, how Dharma polished its own classroom of stars, and why some actors thrived while others got lost waiting for their third film. From career launches to creative lockdowns, we’re asking the real questions. Did these deals actually make Bollywood better? Who got the best bargain? And is the studio system finally losing its shine in the OTT era? Pour yourself a strong cup, this episode’s serving contracts, control, and plenty of chai.

    Still Running After That Train: DDLJ Breakdown

    Send us a text It’s the train that never stopped — and this week, we’re finally hopping on. We, along with our guest host Mitul, take a chai-fueled trip back to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, the movie that made mustard fields iconic, turned train stations into love stories, and crowned SRK and Kajol the forever king and queen of Bollywood romance.  From Raj’s effortless charisma to Simran’s quiet rebellion, we’re breaking down what made DDLJ a cultural phenomenon and asking the real questions. Would Raj’s antics still work in 2025? Did Bauji actually have a point? And why does this film still feel like comfort food? It’s nostalgia, debate, and laughter in one ticket — and yes, there’s a special guest on board for this ride. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

    Off The Bollywood Beat

From Monsoon Wedding to Bend It Like Beckham to Fire, these women carried Indian stories across continents, proving that you don’t need Bollywood to tell stories that move the world. Expect deep dives, film nostalgia, and a little chai-fueled chaos as we unpack what makes each of them iconic — their vision, their impact, and their legacy beyond borders.
