The Khandaan Podcast

52: Baaghi 3, Thappad and Dil

Episode 51 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast brings you 2016’s SULTAN starring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, SULTAN was part of Salman’s storied run at the box office, a sports drama about an out of shape wrestler whose rise, fall, and rise took you through every emotion in the book. Although it is a fairly recent release, we discuss how well it’s held up, how Salman is often his own worst enemy, and why our featured guest, Uday Bhatia (https://twitter.com/yooday) , Film Critic at the Mint Lounge, chose this film as his pick of the week.    A Short Timeline:   ·      03.25 Why does Dabboo Ratnani have a calendar? ·      20.45 We all laugh at Asim’s pet project i.e. the FilmFare predictions ·      29.04 SHUBH MANGAL ZYAADA SAAVDHAN: a film we will all get around to watching eventually ·      38.20 MALANG: A Thing That Exists ·      44.35  Asim and Sujoy discuss Netflix’ TAJ MAHAL 1989 ·      54.30 Trailer: KAAMYAAB ·      1.00.12 Main Review: SULTAN   Shownotes: - We weren’t really up to discussing LOVE AAJ KAL 2020 but you can read Uday’s review here (https://www.livemint.com/industry/media/film-review-another-love-aaj-kal-same-imtiaz-ali-11581676813918.html) - We had some real issues with the audio here.

50: Filmfare 2020 predictions and Main Hoon Na

Episode 49 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is where we discuss one of the most controversial movies to be made in the past 10 years: Rajkumar Hirani’s PK. Released in 2014, this movie stars Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput and others in the story of an alien who is left stranded on earth when he encounters the lying, thieving, deceitful humans who populate it.    Infused with the trademark Hirani touch, Asim feels the role of a goofy alien might be Aamir’s best performance yet but Sujoy and Amrita have thoughts about this bold assertion. We discuss whether this movie could be made today, the limits of artistic expression, and the similarities and differences between this and OMG, another film about religion that many in our audience seem to prefer.    A Short Timeline · 0.54 A Street Dancer 3D review by Sujoy, the target audience for this film · 13.30 Love Aaj Kal 2020: a trailer that made Asim slowly fall in love with Aartik Karyan · 21.15 Jawani Jaaneman and what’s the deal with Saif · 37.10 Kabir Khan’s The Forgotten Army on Amazon Prime and should it have remained forgotten · 46.09 The Main Review: PK Shownotes: KRK’s Street Dancer review can be found here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5fQ6h3xdf4)   Saif Ali Khan’s interview with Film Companion can be found here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wylUixDml4) Find us on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-khandaan-podcast/id1362881501) ! and Stitcher (http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/upodcast/khandaan-podcast%3Frefid=stpr) ! and AudioBoom (https://audioboom.com/channels/4944450.rss) ! and iHeartRadio (http://www.iheart.com/podcast/270-The-Khandaan-Podcast-29185125) ! and Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3bZLrLZHCuLDmJzgm9MPm0) ! and Google Podcasts (https://www.google.com/podcasts%3Ffeed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzQ5NDQ0NTAucnNz) !

48: Best of the Khan Decade

Episode 47 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is the first of our “Produced by YashRaj” series, 2008’s Shahrukh Khan-starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. This rare Aditya Chopra directorial outing and Anushka Sharma’s debut feature is a fairly controversial choice - more than a decade after its release it continues divide opinions. Those that love this film, think it sinned against; those who hated it when it came out haven’t seen much reason to change their minds.   We are joined on the podcast by Stacey Yount (https://twitter.com/Bollywriter) who is the Editor in Chief of Bollyspice (https://bollyspice.com/) .

47: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Dabangg 3 songs and FC Adda

Episode 46 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast features our first Salman Khan - David Dhawan collaboration. Coasting on nostalgia, the audience selected 1999’s Biwi No. 1, a film we had all mostly forgotten.  Co-starring Karisma Kapoor as the titular biwi (maybe? the climax left us confused), Sushmita Sen as the other woman, Anil Kapoor as the best friend, and Tabu as his totally unnecessary wife, this remake of a Kamal Haasan film drips South Indian tropes that were already outdated by the 80s, struggle to make sense in the 90s, and are definitely unbearable in 2019. The music is still amazing, though! A Short Timeline: 02.21 Asim talks about Drive, a movie Sujoy couldn’t finish and Amrita refuses to watch 6.44 Panipat and Asim’s theory of the "jingorical" 22.04 The controversy around the Patni, Pati Aur Woh trailer and the mystery of Kartik Aryan's appeal 33.34 The Main Review: Biwi No. 1 Shownotes: You can find Anna MM Vetticad (https://www.firstpost.com/author/annavetticad) 's interview with the director of Saandh Ki Aankh, Tushar Hiranandi by clicking here (https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/bollywood/tushar-hiranandani-on-bhumi-taapsee-and-ageism-saand-ki-aankhs-shashi-kapoor-connect-misogyny-and-why-he-wont-do-another-masti-7609651.html) You can also vote on our next poll "Which Khan collaboration with Yash Raj Films do you want us to discuss?" by heading here (https://www.opinionstage.com/asimburney/which-khan-collaboration-with-yash-raj-films-do-you-want-us-to-discuss-on-the-next-khandaanpodcast) Find us on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-khandaan-podcast/id1362881501) ! and Stitcher (http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/upodcast/khandaan-podcast%3Frefid=stpr) ! and AudioBoom (https://audioboom.com/channels/4944450.rss) ! and iHeartRadio (http://www.iheart.com/podcast/270-The-Khandaan-Podcast-29185125) ! and Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3bZLrLZHCuLDmJzgm9MPm0) ! and Google Podcasts (https://www.google.com/podcasts%3Ffeed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzQ5NDQ0NTAucnNz) !

46: Biwi no 1, Drive review and Panipat Trailer

Episode 45 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is a blast from the past - specifically, Aamir Khan’s past. Tum Mere Ho (1990), directed by Tahir Hussain a.k.a. The Aamir Dad has everything: a wronged and vengeful snake mom, a grubby dad, a lost heir, a damsel beset by zaalim samaaj, intense young love, unique tribal customs, terrible costumes, and a fuzzy timeline that ensures we’re never quite sure when all of this action is taking place.  Co-starring the always delightful Juhi Chawla and a thoroughly awkward Kalpana Iyer as a snake with tragic fashion sense, Tum Mere Ho is a classic for all the best reasons as previously outlined by Pretentious Movie Reviews (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n7OWo4Sr6U) .  We are joined by ace friend of the blog, Pitu Sultan, who has recently launched a fun new Instagram vlog called KAPOW with Pitu (https://www.instagram.com/kapow_with_pitu/?hl=en) which is also available on YouTube (https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCbKYeMoOrfBpXKCEzRYft2g/videos) .

45: Tum Mere Ho, Dabangg 3 and Commando 3 trailer reactions

Extra Special: WAR, The Family Man, Bard of Blood    Episode 44 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is all about WAR, starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. This departure from our Khan focus is due to a number of factors, including the absence of co-host Sujoy, but we wanted y’all to have an episode to tide you over!   Director Siddharth Anand re-unites with Hrithik after the Knight and Day remake Bang Bang, which was all about the chemistry between Hrithik and Katrina Kaif. This time, Hrithik is paired with Tiger, and the screen is nearly set ablaze with their chemistry. And it truly is chemistry unlike anything we’ve seen in Bollywood before. Top friend Beth Watkins from BethLovesBollywood (http://www.bethlovesbollywood.com/) joins us to discuss and many laughs are had.    Please note: this begins as a spoiler free review but eventually goes (heavily) into spoilers as timestamped below.    A Short Timeline:   02.50 Khoon Bhari Maang (1988) because Asim promised Beth he would watch it and ek baar jo Asim ne commitment de di, he’ll do it even if it takes him a whole year and his eyeballs bleed. 12.40 We start out with the Housefull 4 trailer which makes us wonder about the Deol’s life choices. 18.28 Marjaavan is the next Siddharth Malhotra film and it basically arrived in a freezer is how cold Sid’s career is right now 26.25 Drive is the famously troubled Sushant Singh Rajput / Jacqueline Fernandez movie that Dharma just dumped on Netflix and here is the interview (https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/sushant-singh-rajput-interview_in_5d8ef27ae4b0ac3cdda8ffbb) Amrita mentions in the episode 33.06 Laal Kaptaan had three unique trailers out and it finally gave Asim a glimpse of what excites Amrita about this film; here is the interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eEjMW-PHPg) we mention in the episode 43.00 Mardaani 2 brings up the fun fact that Beth has written an academic chapter on the first movie (!) and we are looking forward to this one 46.15 The Family Man vs. Bard of Blood reveals that we have a definite favorite 1.00.54 The Main Review: WAR  1.13.05 WAR with spoilers   Shownotes: Anupama Chopra’s Laal Kaptaan Interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eEjMW-PHPg&authuser=0) with Saif Ali Khan and Navdeep Singh Sujoy’s thread about WAR  (https://twitter.com/9e3k/status/1180128773657657344?s=20)   You can enter the YRF's "War Give Away" by dropping us an email on upodcasting@gmail.com (mailto:%20upodcasting@gmail.com) and letting us know if you are #TeamTiger or #TeamHritik extra points if you send us a screenshot of the iTunes review you have written for us.

44: War, The Family Man and Bard Of Blood

Episode 43 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is all about FAN (2016). We also discuss the recent movie releases, Chhichore and Dream Girl; new streaming shows Mission Over Mars on AltBalaji and The Family Man on Amazon Prime; plus new trailers for The Sky is Pink and The Zoya Factor. Director Maneesh Sharma’s FAN stars Shahrukh Khan in a double role as superstar Aryan Khanna and his crazed fan Gaurav who unleashes a wave of terror on the object of his love when he is unable to establish the emotional connect he craves from his beloved. There is an interesting cast of secondary characters in this movie but it lives and dies on SRK alone. Join us as we discuss this deeply polarizing movie and where it went wrong but also what it got right. Show Notes: 03.57 Chhichore, starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead, directed by Nitesh Tiwari - a film about college that feels like homework 11.16 Dream Girl starring Ayushman Khurana and Nusrat Bharucha is more of a nightmare albeit a funny one 22.15 Updates on the AltBalaji discussion from the last episode with a review of Mission Over Mars 38.00 The Zoya Factor starring Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Dulquer Salmaan is drearily coasting off a very bad, low energy trailer 43.02 The Sky is Pink costars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Farhan Akhtar and might be worth a watch maybe 48.15 The Main Review: FAN Show notes: Amazon Prime’s The Family Man stars Manoj Bajpayee and you can check out Asim’s interview with the director Raj from Raj and DK here (https://audioboom.com/posts/7377646-we-re-not-judging-people-or-interested-in-vilifying-communities-raj-nidimoru-talks-the-family) .

43: Dream Girl, Chhichhore and Fan

Episode 42 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is a celebration of 25 years of Hum Aapke Hain Koun…, arguably the most influential film to emerge from Bollywood in the 1990s.  Director Sooraj Barjatya’s sophomore effort, 1994’s HAHK instantly cemented the careers of Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Barjatya himself as legends of Hindi cinema. It also cast Renuka Shahane as our collective bhabhi and changed the career of Mohnish Behl while introducing us to the star that is Tuffy. Join us as we discuss the many iconic moments (onscreen and offscreen) of this film as well as its songs, which are still familiar to audiences all these years later, with ace friend of the podcast, Suchin Mehrotra (https://twitter.com/suchin545) .  A Short Timeline: 02.20 Dream Girl, the latest out of the One Man Hit Making Factory that is Ayushman Khurana 09.53 Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas starring the most nepotism ever, and proud of it 16.13 Laal Kaptaan, a teaser that has Amrita and Suchin shook 20.20 Sacred Games Season 2 31.01 Batla House, which broke Suchin’s fanboy heart and Misson Mangal, which is everything but Akshay in a sari 30.00 The Main Review: Hum Aapke Hain Koun...

42: Sacred Games S2 and Hum Aapke Hain Koun

Episode 41 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is all about 1997’s Koyla, a movie no one, absolutely no one was asking for except for our featured guest, the beloved, the one-and-only, the hilarious Pitu Sultan!   Directed by Rakesh Roshan, who clearly needed to work some serious kinks out of his system, this movie stars Shahrukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Amrish Puri, Johnny Lever, Ashok Saraf and every single Bollywood baddie working in 90s Hindi cinema. It’s a gory, musical mess and we have lots to discuss about it.    A timeline: 02.00 Chhichhore - a new Sushant Singh Rajput / Shraddha Kapoor movie directed by Nitesh Tiwary 06.25 Saaho, starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor, which appears to have finally settled on a release date 21.05 Typewriter, the new series on Netflix 31.19:  The Main Event: Koyla, a lump of coal in our collective porridge 1.25:  BONUS CONTENT: all the jokes that didn’t fit + Pitu's Mandakini story Shownotes: The Reddit Blinds we mention and discuss can be found here (https://www.reddit.com/r/BollyBlindsNGossip/) The TypeWriter Behensplaining episode can be found here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIAKc46bXKw&t=438s) Find us on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-khandaan-podcast/id1362881501) ! and Stitcher (http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/upodcast/khandaan-podcast%3Frefid=stpr) ! and AudioBoom (https://audioboom.com/channels/4944450.rss) ! and iHeartRadio (http://www.iheart.com/podcast/270-The-Khandaan-Podcast-29185125) ! and Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3bZLrLZHCuLDmJzgm9MPm0) ! and Google Podcasts (https://www.google.com/podcasts%3Ffeed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzQ5NDQ0NTAucnNz) !   Follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/UpodCast) !

Episode 40 of Khandaan - A Bollywood Podcast brings you John Matthew Matthan’s seminal Sarfarosh (1999), starring Aamir Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Sonali Bendre, Mukesh Rishi and others. For our “Cops” theme, readers voted for the movie that made a real impact on the genre in Bollywood when it landed. Sarfarosh is a taut game of cat and mouse between characters who have revealed all to the audience but remain hidden from each other within the movie. It’s a very effective narrative as we discuss at length. A short timeline: 03.10: The Liong King (Hindi) and the launch of Aryan Khan 12.05 The War teaser with Hrithik and Tiger 20.30 The Mission Mangal trailer 26.45 The Main Review: Sarfarosh (1999) Find us on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-khandaan-podcast/id1362881501) ! and Stitcher (http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/upodcast/khandaan-podcast%3Frefid=stpr) ! and AudioBoom (https://audioboom.com/channels/4944450.rss) ! and iHeartRadio (http://www.iheart.com/podcast/270-The-Khandaan-Podcast-29185125) ! and Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3bZLrLZHCuLDmJzgm9MPm0) ! and Google Podcasts (https://www.google.com/podcasts%3Ffeed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzQ5NDQ0NTAucnNz) !   Follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/UpodCast) !

40: Sarfarosh, War, Mission Mangal and Aryan Khan

Episode 39 came as a bit of a surprise - we didn’t expect so many people would be interested in the Dreamz Unlimited movie Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. Directed by Aziz Mirza who had previously found a great deal of success with the starring duo of Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, this film from the year 2000 was oddly prescient about the direction and corruption of cable news shows in the 21st century as they hunt for ratings and get cozy with political power.  Featuring a bravura performance by the luminous Juhi Chawla and a by-turns-charming-and-creepy Shahrukh, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani was a high profile dud on arrival but there was quite a lot for us to discuss.  We are joined this week by Anuj Radia of FilmeShilmy (https://filmeshilmy.com/author/anujradia/) to cover this and a host of other subjects in a very busy week for Hindi cinema.

39: Phir Bhi Hai Hindustani plus Saaho, Judgementall Hai Kya and others

Welcome to Episode 38 of the Khandaan podcast where we discuss 2001’s Shahrukh Khan-Kareena Kapoor starrer, Asoka.    Directed by Santosh Sivan, this movie handily won our poll of the week - a nod to its cult status today compared to the flop it was on arrival. Co-starring some really intriguing and talented actors we don’t often see onscreen, this SRK home production remains a visual treat but how does it fare narratively at close to 3 hours of runtime?    A short timeline: 03:35 Yesterday, a film by Danny Boyle, starring Himesh Patel and Lily James 07.10 Article 15 and Asim’s frank interview with director Anubhav Sinha  (https://audioboom.com/posts/7294821-ep-240-the-priviliged-have-to-question-the-priviliged-anubhav-sinha-talks-article-15)  16:15 Kabir Singh - a very successful controversy  29:47 Dostana 2 - who cares?  32:10 Asoka: the main discussion ShowNotes: We also have a new poll for the next episode and pick which Khan movie from the year 2000 we will be talking about You can vote by clicking here (https://www.opinionstage.com/asimburney/which-2000-khan-movie-do-you-want-us-to-talk-about-on-the-next-khandaan-podcast) .
