Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and our 80s Dhamaaka series! This week’s feature is 1982’s ARTH. 

Starring Shabana Azmi, Khulbhushan Kharbanda, Raj Kiran, and Smita Patil in key roles, this Mahesh Bhatt directorial about marital infidelity is a classic of Hindi cinema. Drawn from Bhatt’s short lived extramarital affair with Parveen Babi, Arth features some of the best performances by Hindi film actors as well as music that has stood the test of time. 

Join us as we introduce this film to Asim and refresh our own memories.

A big Shoutout to our friend Dj Shai Guy for the 80's Dhamaka Theme song. You can check out more of Shai's work here

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and our new 80s Dhamaka movie — KAALIA (1981).

Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Parveen Babi, Asha Parekh, Pran and Amjad Khan, this Tinnu Anand directorial was a top favorite going in for Asim and Amrita. Alas, they were bamboozled by the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia because this movie has some… issues. We discuss what we remembered, what we didn’t, the music by RD Burman and the Bollywood history connected to this film. Join us as we continue to explore Hindi cinema in the 80s.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we’re taking a trip down nostalgia lane with KAHO NA PYAAR HAI (2000). Directed by Rakesh Roshan, the debut of Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel remains a landmark blockbuster in the history of Hindi cinema. We discuss how no other director/producer father has been to replicate this launch for their progeny and how it set up both Hrithik and Ameesha for success. We talk about our memories of this movie and its place in pop culture. And we discuss what has held up over the years and what (or who) hasn’t.

This week's Patreon Bonus is the Video of our Hangout over the weekend where we discuss the 80's Dhamaka Series launching in January. Available here

On this week's Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast we have a mini review by Amrita of Payal Kapadia's - Cannes Grand Prix winner- "All We Imagine As Light" as well as interviews by Payal Kapadia herself and lead actress Kani Kusruti conducted by our very own Yamini AKA Pappuchaaru.

All We Imagine As Light is now playing in UK theatres.

In Mumbai, thoughtful Nurse Prabha’s routine is upset when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger, flightier and rebellious roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot in the city to be intimate with her secret boyfriend. Their colleague Parvaty fights to stay in her home without any requisite paperwork left by her late husband. A trip to a beach town allows them each to find a space for their desires to manifest.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and this week we’re discussing 1989’s LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Starring Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla, this was clearly a movie that held the hopes and dreams of many people — from the director to the stars to the crew. The question is whether all that effort came to anything.

We talk about the soundtrack, the crazy career paths of the people involved, the story, and our nostalgia.

We also talk about the interview The Hollywood Reporter India’s Anupama Chopra did with Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. There’s also a brief mention of the shock waves running through the Tamil film industry with Nayanthara’s open letter to Dhanush and AR Rahman’s divorce.
