Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and our little catch up before we go on a break.

Amrita watched AURON MEIN KAHAN DUM THA starring Ajay Devgan and Tabu as star crossed lovers. She also watched ULAJH starring Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Deviah, and Roshan Matthews.

Asim watched the Film Companion documentary on Netflix, MODERN MASTERS: SS RAJAMOULI but can’t really recommend it.

Sujoy watched the Sony Liv thriller Brinda starring Trisha Krishnan.

We also watched the new AP Dhillon song OLD MONEY because… well, Salman Khan (and Sanjay Dutt).

Welcome to a special episode of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast with guest host Rahul Desai.

We’re discussing one of Rahul’s comfort watches, DARR (1993). Directed by Yash Chopra and starring Sunny Deol, Juhi Chawla, and Shahrukh Khan in key roles, this movie is an important milestone in Bollywood history.
