Along the way we discuss censorship, Partition, state violence, memory, the National Film Awards, and why some stories still matter decades later. • Alpha — Did the YRF Spy Universe miss the mark? • Mein Vaapas Aunga — Imtiaz Ali's moving exploration of memory and Partition. • Satluj — A powerful film surrounded by controversy and censorship. • Ikka — Sunny Deol returns to the courtroom. • National Film Awards reactions. • Remembering legendary playback singer S. Janaki. • Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. 🎥 YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@KhandaanPodcast 📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/khandaanpodcast 🐦 Xhttps://twitter.com/khandaanpodcast ❤️ Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/khandaanpodcast Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is a weekly show where Asim, Amrita and Sujoy discuss Bollywood, Hindi cinema and Indian pop culture—from new releases and forgotten classics to streaming shows, industry news and everything in between.

Gather around for a conversation that feels like pulling up a chair with old friends who happen to know absolutely everything about Hindi cinema. Khandaan-A Bollywood Podcast is built on a shared, deep-seated nostalgia for the films that defined an era, primarily focusing on the monumental careers and cinematic legacies of three icons: Aamir, Salman, and Shahrukh Khan. Each episode unpacks their movies with a warmth and detail that goes far beyond simple plot summary, exploring the cultural moments they created. But the discussion isn't stuck in the past. Every other week, the hosts pivot to the present, dissecting the latest Bollywood news, buzzy new releases on streaming platforms, and significant developments across Indian film industries, including content in English and various regional languages. The dynamic comes from three millennial hosts whose encyclopedic knowledge is matched only by their genuine passion. Tuning in means you're getting a comprehensive, engaging, and often hilarious take on both the classics and the current landscape. This podcast truly is that perfect blend of a comforting retrospective and a sharp, informed look at what's happening now in the world of Indian entertainment.
