This weeks' Patreon are: Sujoy Watches Thug Life So You Don’t Have To 5 Min Catchup: Amrita In this episode, we dove into Saagar (1985)—the ultimate Dimple Kapadia comeback and a masterclass in how to shoot slow-motion beach walks. We talked: Why Dimple is pure fire (even when Rishi and Kamal are doing the most) The unbearable softness of 80s Kamal Haasan Why this is basically the horniest film we’ve watched all season And of course, Sujoy’s cinematic thirst for all things Sridevi, accidentally triggered by… Saagar?

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.
