Our very last CoronaCast episode before our return to the regular schedule has us catching up after nearly a month. In the meantime, Sujoy and Amrita collaborated with Beth from Beth Loves Bollywood for the Tolly Folly Podcast (https://audioboom.com/channel/upodcast--bollywood-edition)   a limited series about the classic Bengali movies of Uttam Kumar and Suchitra Sen. In between all the movies Sujoy was watching for Tolly Folly, he also caught up with the hit series KILLING EVE and watched Luc Besson’s ANNA as palate cleansers.  Amrita, meanwhile, caught up with various Turkish dramas on the recommendation of none other than Cardi B: THE MAGNIFICENT CENTURY and ERTUGRUL.  Asim was busing enjoying his mother’s cooking but took breaks to watch BREATHE with Abhishek Bachchan and THE OLD GUARD with Charlize Theron.   Finally, we all watched or at least attempted to watch DIL BECHARA, the last movie made by Sushant Singh Rajput before his untimely demise.  Shownotes: Subscribe to our Upodcast: Bollywood Edition (https://audioboom.com/channel/upodcast--bollywood-edition) feed so you don’t miss Amrita, Sujoy and Beth’s new limited Podcast series by clicking here (https://audioboom.com/channel/upodcast--bollywood-edition) .   Follow and subscribe to Amrita's new Youtube Book channel by going here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyb1ZvLmaDLBsen6QQrO4A) !

Khandaan- A Bollywood Podcast

68: EP 68- Breathe: Into the Shadows and Dil Bechara

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is back for it’s 66th episode with Top Friend Beth from BethLovesBollywood (https://twitter.com/bethlovesbolly) to review the latest from Anushka Sharma’s production house: BULBBUL, a Bengali Gothic horror starring Tripti Damri, Avinash Tiwari, Rahul Bose, Paoli Dam, and Parambrata Chatterjee. Directed by Anvita Dutt, this feminist reframing of fantasy marries historical events with Indian folklore to create a real Netflix event, perhaps the first to emerge from India after that first season of SACRED GAMES.

65: Lagaan

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is back to the CoronaCast with Episode 64. Unfortunately, this episode was recorded just as news broke about Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic passing, so while we do mention it, we’ll have a more in-depth discussion of the fallout in our next episode. The news also cast a pall over the episode but… you know, sometimes you just try your best to keep your head above water. Hopefully, that’s what this episode helps you do as well. Other topics of discussion included: Asim and Sujoy watched GULABO SITABO, the new Ayushman Khurana - Amitabh Bachchan movie that premiered on Prime. There were Thoughts about it. Sujoy recommends AXONE, a wholesome new movie on Netflix about life as it is lived by those from the Northeast in other parts of India, specifically Delhi. Amrita watched WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING and its Malayalam remake CHANDRALEKHA for another episode of The Other Banana podcast. She’ll post a link on Twitter if you want to hear her thoughts on them. And finally, Asim shares his impression of KIREEDAM, the Malayalam original of his favorite Jackie Shroff movie, GARDISH. (By the way, for those of you wondering, the name of the actor who plays Mohanlal’s father in Kireedam is Thilakan and he and Mohanlal made a legendary pairing in Malayalam cinema, so props to Asim for picking up on that.) Once again, as this is a CoronaCast episode, we wander all over the place and don’t have a timeline for you. Join us next week for more shenanigans, slightly happier news and the mother of all Aamir movies, LAGAAN.

64: Sushant Singh Rajput, Gulabo Sitabo and Axone

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast’s 63rd episode proves to be the charm with Shahrukh Khan’s iconic KABHI HAAN KABHI NAA (1994).  If “wholesome" was a movie, it would be this film by Kundan Shah. Reportedly SRK’s own favorite out of his many films, this is a film that has stood the test of time. Joining us for the episode is Aditya from The Other Banana podcast (http://www.whereistheotherbanana.com/) aka @gradwolf (https://twitter.com/gradwolf) on Twitter.   A short timeline of topics: 03.35 Aditya has watched the now defunct AIB's first production - Chintu Ka Birthday 15.00 Silverscreen.in published *the* definitive article (https://silverscreenindia.com/music/features/vairamuthus-accusers-on-the-poet-and-his-predatory-ways/) on Tamil poet and lyricist Vairamuthu’s #MeToo allegations and it’s a real doozy  23.05 Sujoy and Aditya watched Anurag Kashyap’s CHOKED and have decided he must be saved from himself 31.31 HuffPost India did an Abhay Deol retrospective (https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/abhay-deol-interview_in_5eda5698c5b647aac9a96906?z77) and it was unintentional top comedy  48.47 The Main Review: KABHI HAAN KABHI NAA Follow and subscribe to Amrita's new Youtube Book channel by going here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyb1ZvLmaDLBsen6QQrO4A) !

63: Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Choked and Chintu Ka Birthday

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is now on it’s 62nd episode… and we’re once again doing a Corona round up. For those of you struggling with all the current events in the world and need a break, we suggest you skip the first 10 minutes because we’re not in the best of moods to be honest.    However! We soon move on to discussing the latest Red Chillies Production for Netflix: BETAAL. Sujoy is happy to report that it continues a long and proud Red Chillies tradition by being absolutely mediocre.    Asim broke character to watch KAMYAAB, another Red Chillies effort for Netflix that isn’t entirely awful. It is definitely the better reviewed project of the two.    After that gargantuan effort, Asim needed a little cheering up so he obviously looked up KAALA BAZAAR (1989), starring Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff. This is a segue onto our discussion about Jackie, an actor whose work we grew up watching but never discuss for some reason. Do let us know your favorite Jackie movies.    And to round everything off, we discuss a recent article in Bollywood Hungama wherein single screen owners complain about the lack of massy content from Bollywood and the artistic ambitions of its most reliable performers.    We don’t have a timeline for you as these special episodes go back and forth, but join us next week for our regular programming!

62: Ep 62- Kaamyaab, Betaal and Jackie Shroff - Khandaan Ko Rona Aa Gaye

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast sails on to its 61st episode with Shahrukh Khan’s PARDES (1997). This patriotic ode to a visually composite India was directed by Subhash Ghai, his last big hit, and stars debutants Mahima Chaudhary and Apoorva Agnihotri in addition to Amrish Puri, Alok Nath, and a full team of people whose faces you will recognize. Shot across North America, which stood in for Hollywood (?), PARDES is the story of a rich NRI who seeks a village belle wife for his spoiled young son… and the foster son who eventually wins the bride. A movie 20 years too late for its time, we discuss this hate crime against NRIs and why it was made. Friend of the podcast Nim (@maplebrownie (https://twitter.com/MapleBrownie) on Twitter and Instagram) joins us to explain why she decided to entrust a precious memory of her childhood to Khandaan of all people.  A short timeline of topics: 04.42 The GULABO SITABO trailer and we are not the audience for it 12.51 Nim is curious about Abhay Deol's WHAT ARE THE ODDS releasing on Netflix 19.34 Mithun is launching his younger son Nimashe  24.55 The Main Review: PARDES Follow and subscribe to Amrita's new Youtube Book channel by going here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyb1ZvLmaDLBsen6QQrO4A) !

60: Mrs Serial Killer and Paatal Lok Reviews

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast brings in episode 59 in the wake of one of the saddest weeks in Hindi film history: when we lost two towering stars, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. [Note: this episode is mainly in English mixed with Urdu/Hindi and a little bit of Pashto.] How do we address the passing of two men, gone before their time, who meant so much to us as film-lovers? They came from two separate generations of acting talent even though they were barely a dozen years apart in age; they defined very different kinds of cinema even though they both made sorties into each other’s territory from time to time.  Rishi appeared onscreen for the first time at age two, in the most iconic song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXLzfldeDcM) in Hindi cinema; by the time he was 18, he was a bonafide star. In his own words, he was born lucky and stayed lucky… until his luck ran out. Irrfan fought for every scrap of success; from that time he cruelly lost out on SALAAM BOMBAY to the day he bowled the world over in THE NAMESAKE. Here is a man who forsook his own lineage and didn’t worry about his legacy because everything he wanted was in the present.  Our love for these men’s work is reflected in our attitudes towards them while they were still alive. Rishi, the star, was always in the public eye: cosseted, reviled, retweeted. Irrfan, the actor, sparked intense scrutiny every time he came on film and then somehow just slipped away when he wasn’t onstage, so to speak; no mean feat in these times of intense media interest. When news broke about Irrfan, we were stunned to realize how much we loved him. When we learned of Rishi, we struggled with our feelings of love and anger, as thought we’d lost a member of our family.  The dead don’t care for our feelings. They now live in a world beyond our recriminations or love. Yet, we who are left behind cannot help but discuss them and how we feel about them.  We are joined by Aneela Babar (friend, true blue cinephile, and author of WE ARE ALL REVOLUTIONARIES HERE (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35077494-we-are-all-revolutionaries-here) ) for this very special episode.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is back with Top Friend Beth from Beth Loves Bollywood (http://www.bethlovesbollywood.com/) to discuss 1998’s Shahrukh Khan double-header DUPLICATE.  Allegedly directed by Mahesh Bhatt, DUPLICATE was the first double role for SRK and he really put in the effort - but was it worth it? Beth finds herself in the unique position of having more nostalgia for a film than the other three for once.  Co-starring a radiant Juhi Chawla, an inept and badly sabotaged Sonali Bendre, a friendzoned Mohnish Behl. a loud Farida Jalal, and the cheapest villain’s lair ever seen on film, DUPLICATE gave us a lot to discuss. Join us as we put more thought into the discussion of this film than Mahesh Bhatt did to its direction and find out for once and for all just how much Asim loves Salman.  A short timeline: 00.11.02 Beth is watching I, CLAUDIUS for (another) podcast joke purposes and rewatching COMMUNITY and recommends y’all do so as well.  00.23.10 Sujoy watched the Chris Hemsworth Netflix action movie, EXTRACTION.  00.26.45 Amrita has seen some stuff but she doesn’t remember any of it, so never mind. She recommends you watch Bon Appetit.  00.33.55 Asim is rewatching THE WIRE.  00.40.32 The Main Review: DUPLICATE.

56: Corona Streaming with Suchin

Episode 55 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is takes us back to regular programming with 2000’s (!) MELA starring Aamir Khan, Twinkle Khanna, Faisal Khan, and the regular acting troupe of director Dharmesh Darshan. This megaflop from the turn of the century is something of a niche classic featuring tropes we haven’t seen in A-list Bollywood since the 1980s. A fitting welcome to our brand new, plague-ridden century.    In Thai, the word for the number five is pronounced HA, and this movie is full on LOL when it is not WTF, so we invited one of our top friends, Pitu Sultan, to partake in our episode 55. You can also find Pitu on Instagram @pitusultan (https://www.instagram.com/pitusultan/?hl=en) or catch her very 555 show KAPOW! WITH PITU (https://www.instagram.com/kapow_with_pitu/?hl=en) on YouTube.      The Main Review: MELA of our lives, featuring heaving bosoms, armpit panties, Durga hai meri maa, and loads of other drama. We were gonna discuss more stuff but once this train got going, we realized it was an express train and would not stop at any other stations for the duration, so that was that. Watch out for our next Corona Cast for the other good stuff.   Find us on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-khandaan-podcast/id1362881501) ! and Stitcher (http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/upodcast/khandaan-podcast%3Frefid=stpr) ! and AudioBoom (https://audioboom.com/channels/4944450.rss) ! and iHeartRadio (http://www.iheart.com/podcast/270-The-Khandaan-Podcast-29185125) ! and Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3bZLrLZHCuLDmJzgm9MPm0) ! and Google Podcasts (https://www.google.com/podcasts%3Ffeed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzQ5NDQ0NTAucnNz) !

Just Asim, Sujoy and Amrita shooting the breeze about the content they’ve been consuming over these days of social distancing. Remember, we need to maintain a physical social distance but we’ll only make it through these dark times with each other. So tune in every other week for one of our shorter Rona episodes which we’ll intersperse between our regular programming. A Short Timeline: 00.53 Corona Pre-Amble: How we have been coping, what we are thinking of doing once this pandemic scare is over and how to pick new books to read? 18.53 - Sujoy is our most adventurous Khandaani who brings you news of The Wailing from South Korea, The Platform from Spain, and our apna Afsos 32.50 - Amrita is still self medicating with episodes of Agatha Christie’s Poirot but made the effort to watch the new adaptation of Emma. She has also been reading a lot and is currently reading Raymond E. Feist’s Empire trilogy from the Riftwar Cycle. 45.19 - Asim stumps for Stumptown, which is fast developing a reputation in niche circles, as well as the miniseries Devs, and explores some new Netflix shows like Dave Chang's Ugly Delicious and Imtiaz Ali’s She.

54: Khandaan Ko Rona Aa Gaya- She, Emma and Afsos

Episode 53 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is your refuge from the monotony of lockdown, wherever you might be experiencing it. Top Friend Beth (http://www.bethlovesbollywood.com/?m=0) rejoins us for the second dose of bitter medicine as Sujoy chooses his winner for the FilmFare challenge: 1991’s SAAJAN starring Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, and Madhuri Dixit with Reema Laagoo, Kader Khan, Laxmikant Berde and others. This take on Cyrano de Bergerac is a real trip back to the 1980s with music by Nadeem Shravan, choreography by Chinni Prakash, lyrics by Sameer, produced by Sudhakar Bokade, and directed by Lawrence D’Souza. We drag Beth back to the hellscape of our childhood to thoroughly discuss why we made her watch a movie that sapped her will to live in these difficult times.    Question: are we now a Madhuri Dixit podcast? And would La Dixcast be the worst thing? A Short Timeline: 00.55 - COVID-19 sucks and so do all our governments: a short story 14.45 - Quarantine content - a quick look at what we’re all watching while cooped up 40.05 - The Main Review: SAAJAN   Find us on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-khandaan-podcast/id1362881501) ! and Stitcher (http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/upodcast/khandaan-podcast%3Frefid=stpr) ! and AudioBoom (https://audioboom.com/channels/4944450.rss) ! and iHeartRadio (http://www.iheart.com/podcast/270-The-Khandaan-Podcast-29185125) ! and Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3bZLrLZHCuLDmJzgm9MPm0) ! and Google Podcasts (https://www.google.com/podcasts%3Ffeed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzQ5NDQ0NTAucnNz) !
