The Girlfriend 17:06

8d ago17:06

17:06

The Girlfriend seems like a direct response to the widespread misogyny of Indian cinema, but it feels disingenuous because it stars someone who has defended that very misogyny. We discuss the unintelligent character that Rashmika Mandanna has been saddled with, and wonder if the only path towards feminism that Indian filmmakers know involves taking…

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari 19:32

11d ago19:32

19:32

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is more like a sitcom written by a Dharma committee than a proper movie. We discuss Varun Dhawan’s seemingly stagnant evolution as an actor, Janhvi Kapoor moving in the opposite direction, and Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf happily accepting the paycheque. We also talk about the film’s incoherent narrative, unimaginat…

Ep 291- One 2 Ka 4: Shah Rukh, Juhi & the Era of Wet-Look Villains 59:10

16d ago59:10

59:10

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 anyo…

When Success nearly kills you: A burnout specialist's story 35:21

18d ago35:21

35:21

In this episode, I sit down with Charlene Gisele to unpack the deep roots of burnout and how it shapes our bodies, relationships, and emotional well-being. We talk about why burnout is rarely just about workload—it’s often a reflection of old patterns, internalized expectations, and the ways we’ve learned to seek safety and validation. Charlene’s p…

Nishaanchi: Part 2 20:36

11d ago20:36

20:36

Nishaanchi: Part 2 features arguably the best climax that Anurag Kashyap has ever orchestrated. We discuss the two-part experience as a whole, Kashyap’s modern update to old-school Bollywood tropes, and the magnetism of Monika Panwar’s Manjari. We also discuss the film’s broader themes of revenge, the stylistic influences, and welcome Kashyap’s lon…

Nishaanchi: Part 1 21:04

21:04

Anurag Kashyap’s Nishaanchi: Part 1 is a welcome return to form, and the long-awaited spiritual successor to Gangs of Wasseypur that his fans have been waiting for. We discuss the film’s complex approach to classic themes of revenge, betrayal, and jealousy, while also praising the central performances. Along the way, we commend Kashyap’s inimitable…

Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra 17:47

25d ago17:47

17:47

Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is perhaps the most overrated Indian movie of the year. We discuss the film’s inert narrative, jarring action, and inelegant world-building that includes an unnecessary detour into Kantara territory. We also talk about where the franchise could head next, and why it would immediately be better if merged with the Minnal Mura…

Ep 290: Jaani Dushman – The Greatest Disaster in Bollywood History 43:56

29d ago43:56

43:56

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 te…

Param Sundari 21:03

1M ago21:03

21:03

Param Sundari, the new film starring Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra, seems to make things up as it goes along. We discuss the offensive cultural appropriation in every frame of the film, the odd motivations of its protagonists, and the film’s reliance on cultural stereotypes. We also talk about Janhvi Kapoor’s wardrobe, a potentially incendiar…

Motherhood, Magic & Medicine with Sigourney Belle EP 61 1:00:01

1:00:01

I invited my friend Sigourney Belle to explore the real transformation that happens when we move from maiden to mother—and why it’s a physiological, neurological, and spiritual awakening. Together we name the power of matrescence, the rise of heightened instinct, and the shadow of fear that can surface in pregnancy. Sigourney shares how unexpected …

Ep 288- AI Film Fest, Fake Art and the Future of Bollywood 53:26

Amrita’s viral tweet about the so-called “AI Film Festival” sparks a fiery Khandaan debate on art, authenticity, and the future of cinema. From lazy prompts to lost funding, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy unpack what this says about India’s creative ecosystem — and why real filmmaking still matters. 00:00 – Intro & Catch-Up Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy kick of…

Trusting the Grand Design EP 60 26:20

In this episode, I open up about the art of trusting life, even when the unknown feels overwhelming. I explore how our bodies are living temples and how breath, sound, and presence can reconnect us to the subtle realms of spirit without needing substances. I reflect on moments of inspiration beyond the veil, the reality of duality, and why those mi…

37:03

In Episode 287, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy dive into two very different cinematic worlds — the mythic mayhem of Kantara Chapter 1 and the glossy chaos of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Sujoy kicks things off with his review of Kantara Chapter 1 — a prequel that expands the folklore of Rishab Shetty’s breakout hit. Expect talk of Mad Max set pieces, c…

Homebound, Neeraj Ghaywan’s second feature film in a decade, is well worth the wait. Already selected as India’s official entry for the 2026 Oscars, Homebound is just as moving as Ghaywan’s widely admired debut film, Masaan. We discuss its poetic storytelling, deeply empathetic eye, and the fabulous central performances of Vishal Jethwa and Ishaan …

In this episode, I invited Britton and Carolee Beckham to share how they moved from six-generation Mormon conditioning to a sovereign, heart-led union.

Inspector Zende 19:29

3M ago19:29

19:29

Inspector Zende, the new spoof movie starring Manoj Bajpayee and Jim Sarbh, succeeds as a concept but fails in execution. What could’ve been a homegrown homage to The Naked Gun comes across as a first draft in need of clever rewrites. While Bajpayee is going full ham in the central role, matching the movie’s energy, Sarbh seems to have been told to…

Songs of Paradise 16:41

16:41

Songs of Paradise is like a 1950s movie that has time-traveled to the present day. We discuss the film’s old-fashioned narrative and undemanding themes, the chasm of quality between Saba Azad and Sheeba Chaddha’s performances, and the limited ambition of writer-director Danish Renzu. Songs of Paradise could’ve worked as a metaphor for post-Independ…

This week on Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast, we’re tackling two of the most talked-about (and trolled) recent releases — War 2 and Coolie. It’s safe to say neither film blew us away, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have plenty to say. From Hrithik Roshan’s sleepwalking Kabir to NTR Jr. stuck in the wrong movie, from Shruti Haasan’s mannequin-level c…

In the Tamil-language film Maareesan, the plot twist comes not at the end, but midway through. We talk about the sudden change in tone, and how the film handles it. We also discuss Fahadh Faasil’s comedic performance, and wonder why the film is presented through the perspective of his character. But mainly, we talk about the film’s shady morality, …

Tehran 18:09

Tehran—the new John Abraham political action thriller—literally cannot identify the country of Georgia on the map. The movie also goes out of its way to make its protagonist an apolitical man who somehow annoys the governments of three nations, including his own. We discuss the film’s muddled messaging, its bizarre third act, and the arrogance with…

Sitaare Zameen Par—marketed as the spiritual sequel to Aamir Khan’s 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par—is a shoddily made, preachy, borderline insensitive film with a noble mission. However, just because it aims to raise awareness about an admirable cause doesn’t excuse its cringeworthy tone, Khan and Genelia Deshmukh’s subpar performances, and its casual o…

The Malayalam-language sports comedy film Alappuzha Gymkhana has no stakes, no villain, and no classic structure. This could either have been a bold decision or an act of self-sabotage. It’s somewhere in the middle. We talk about the film’s underdeveloped characters, its over-reliance on flashy camerawork, and its overlong second half. We also disc…
