143: Madhuri Madness 2023 - Dutt v Dixit: Dawn of Romance

Bollywood is For Lovers

In our second annual Madhuri Madness we discuss two awards-nominated performances from the early 90s.
Show notes:

• Madhuri Madness 2022: Parinda and Dil and The Fame Game
• Sadly The Fame Game has been cancelled
• Saajan
• “playboy-operator type“
• Comparisons to Cyrano de Bergerac
• Is Sanjay Dutt a convincing romantic lead?
• Songs: “Bahut Pyar Karte Hain,” “Pehli Baar Mile Hain,” “Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai,” “Dekha Hai Pehli Baar,” and “Bahut Pyar Karte Hain (Male)”

(INTERVAL (“Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai” from Khalnayak)

• Khalnayak
• Zee5 is missing over 20 minutes of this film
• Now here Sanjay Dutt is convincing
• Songs: “Khal Nayak Hai Tu,” “Aye Sahib Yeh Theek Nahin,” “Aaja Sajan Aaja,” “Palki Mein Hoke Sawaar,” and “Khal Nayak Hoon Main”
