We return in January with a YouTube Live Stream covering the Best & Worst of Bollywood 2025 — always one of our most popular episodes — plus a brand-new video debate: Nora Fatehi vs Jacqueline Fernandez: Who’s the Better Dancer?
Catch it all on our YouTube channel.

In our final episode of the year, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy sit down for a cosy Khandaan hangout to talk through everything we watched and listened to in 2025. We discuss our music streaming Wrapped results (from Pakistani bangers to AI remixes), revisit the jaw-dropping 4K restoration of Sholay, and tackle the Patreon-chosen chaos of Dulhe Raja — Govinda, Kader Khan, Johnny Lever, wild wigs, set design, and all. There’s film nostalgia, social commentary, theatre ranting, and plenty of 90s energy to close out the year.
