This week on Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast, we cover two of the most talked-about new releases: ✨ Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound — a moving story of caste, religion, and survival during COVID. Sujoy calls it his favorite Hindi film of the year, and we discuss how it tackles Islamophobia, systemic discrimination, and friendship with empathy and tenderness. ✨ Amazon Prime’s Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle — featuring Salman Khan and Aamir Khan in a chaotic, unfiltered chat. We break down the dost-ki-biwi vibes, the awkward interviews, and why some moments worked while others crashed. Plus: Arshad Warsi erasure, Netflix aesthetics, nostalgia for the 90s, and why Homebound feels like one of the most urgent films of 2025. 💖 Join Our Patreon & Get Exclusive Perks! 💖 Love Bollywood?

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens among friends who grew up with Hindi films, one that mixes deep nostalgia with sharp critique, and that's exactly the vibe you'll find on Khandaan-A Bollywood Podcast. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with three knowledgeable millennials who don't just rehash plots but dig into the cultural impact, the behind-the-scenes stories, and the sheer entertainment value of the movies that defined an era. A major focus is a nostalgic, film-by-film deep dive into the colossal careers of the three Khans-Aamir, Salman, and Shahrukh-exploring what makes each of these global superstars tick and why their work remains so compelling. But this podcast isn't only about looking back. On alternate weeks, the hosts switch gears to bring you into the present, breaking down current Bollywood news, buzzy new releases on streaming platforms, and interesting content across English and other Indian languages. It’s this blend of thorough retrospective analysis and up-to-the-minute film journalism that gives the show its unique rhythm. Whether they're debating the merits of a 90s classic or dissecting a modern box office trend, the discussion is always informed by an encyclopedic knowledge of the industry, delivered with genuine passion and a lot of warmth. For anyone who thinks about Bollywood beyond the screen, this is the essential weekly listen.
