If you enjoy this looser, more conversational format and want to support our work (plus get early releases and bonus episodes), you can sign up on Patreon. In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and a freshly jet-lagged Sujoy catch up on life, travel, and the strange state of Bollywood in 2024. From Sujoy’s three-week Japan adventure to the unexpected charm of Dining with the Kapoors, we talk about what we’ve been watching, what we’ve been avoiding, and how the industry’s mood is shaping our choices. Asim dives into Nishaanchi  (Parts 1 and 2), Amrita unpacks the deranged discourse around Dhurandhar, and we try to figure out what a “best of the year” even means in a year like this.

Expect classic Khandaan energy as we talk about Vijay Anand’s noir-meets-masala filmmaking, Rakhi and Dharam’s scorching chemistry, Shatrughan Sinha’s flying kicks, rogue Italians, solar-power science madness, and the joy of rediscovering an icon's work.

    Ep 291- One 2 Ka 4: Shah Rukh, Juhi & the Era of Wet-Look Villains

    In this episode, Asim and Amrita are joined by Top Friend Beth to revisit One 2 Ka 4 — a very specific kind of early-2000s Shah Rukh Khan film. We talk reckless SRK somersaults, Juhi being the only one doing any emotional labour, bowling-alley villain lairs, AR Rahman’s most “Lamborghini in a field” soundtrack, and the eternal confusion of why anyone thought this script worked. Expect the usual Khandaan mix of nostalgia, masala diagnostics, film-history gossip, and way too much discussion about 90s holsters. 00:00 – Where is Sujoy?

    Ep 290: Jaani Dushman – The Greatest Disaster in Bollywood History

    In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit the cult chaos that is Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002) — the film that somehow managed to combine Terminator, The Matrix, Nagina, and 2000s melodrama into one glorious fever dream. From Armaan Kohli’s muscle suit to Raj Babbar’s “religious Voltron” pendant, no absurdity goes unexamined. The team breaks down how this film became a cornerstone of “so bad it’s good” Bollywood, complete with CGI skeletons, ghost revenge plots, and a cast that includes everyone from Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar to Sonu Nigam and Rambha. Expect unfiltered laughter, film trivia, and several “why did we watch this?” moments. 💡 Patreon Exclusive Bonus:The video version of this episode (with visuals from the film and behind-the-scenes banter) is available now for Patreon members!Join us here → patreon.com/khandaanpodcast ⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome & listener confusion: who made us watch this?04:00 – The cast that never ends (Sunny!
