[00:00:49] a new episode of Khandaan Podcast. My name is Asim Birney and I'm joined with my lovely

[00:00:53] co-host Amrita and Sujoy. Hey, Amrita. Hey, Sujoy. Hey everybody. Hello. There are no big

[00:01:02] releases. Nothing came out like there's no trailers. There's nothing Bollywood is

[00:01:07] completely dead. So again, this is going to be just like a hangout episode like we like

[00:01:12] doing so come hang out with me with us. Bollywood is also hanging out with the

[00:01:16] Ambanis on yet another pre wedding in Portofino. And I have to say, like, there's a part of me

[00:01:25] that, you know, just like really is petty and just like really enjoys the visuals

[00:01:32] that are coming out of Portofino. How big is that part in percentage, Amrita? Let's

[00:01:36] talk about it now. You know, we don't have a release. Let's talk about a percentage of

[00:01:40] petty in you. It might be in the high 90s, but literally like it's like, it's like one of those,

[00:01:48] you know, those desi picnics where like people go to a park and just like take it over.

[00:01:54] And it's like lots of gande-gande bache just running around

[00:01:59] and mummy daddy is sitting under the tree somewhere. Like that is basically what

[00:02:04] Portofino looks like, except like, you know, like, like opera singers are like singing in

[00:02:10] Italian. That is happening. It is one of the greatest sites of my life. And I know like,

[00:02:20] you know, capitalism is bad. Billionaires are terrible. Eat the rich, et cetera, like 100%.

[00:02:27] But there is a part of me that's like, you know, like how do you like it,

[00:02:32] bitches? What is happening to you? Can I also say Italy has been trying to fight fascism for a

[00:02:39] couple of years. This is not going to help. This is not going to help. So give me some

[00:02:45] context because I completely am not on board with the punchline. Like you have, you both

[00:02:50] have been only serving punchline without the buildup. Things to say, man. She wanted

[00:02:57] to like get into it. Wait, have you not? I don't know. Like, so Instagram has been serving me

[00:03:05] these videos. I only saw Karisma Kapoor's Instagram with a still image of Portofino.

[00:03:11] That's the only thing Sujoy watches is Karisma Kapoor's Instagram. Like me, we're the same.

[00:03:17] We all know that Asim has a secret subscription to Vidal Bhayani and his back shots.

[00:03:29] Yes. Oh, I want to, how have we not talked about this? We have to talk about this anyway.

[00:03:37] So basically the Ambani's went to like the, they basically, they're calling it the cruise,

[00:03:45] but literally they have all these super yachts that are moored at Portofino in Italy.

[00:03:55] And they've just taken over that entire area, which is your usual like most touristy area.

[00:04:01] Like it has like a beautiful view. People like to come and like sort of hang out in

[00:04:06] these cute little cafes, whatever. And they've just taken over that entire area

[00:04:11] and they've basically turned it into an outdoor, how do you, I don't even know how to describe

[00:04:17] it. Like an outdoor concert space, I guess. Outdoor Jamnagar.

[00:04:31] And then they have like all these opera singers and stuff, like, you know, like,

[00:04:36] and it's the funniest things because there are these people who are like giving culture,

[00:04:41] who are giving like, you know, art. And then the Ambani's are basically just sitting there,

[00:04:46] like this is so boring. Why can't we have Shah Rukh? And then of course we have like,

[00:04:53] so the Ambani's are sitting and then like Shah Rukh and Gauri are sitting and then

[00:05:00] and then everybody is like, why is Shah Rukh sitting in the front row when the Ambani's,

[00:05:12] while like their family is sitting in the back? And I'm like, well, yeah, Shah Rukh is probably

[00:05:17] not asking them for money. Like that's probably why he's sitting up front. Yeah.

[00:05:24] And then like all these like, but you know, I thought that this was supposed to be a more

[00:05:28] select gathering. So I thought like, okay, I understand my like Janvi and Sarah,

[00:05:33] Rekhaan and all are there because they're actually friends with the Ambani women.

[00:05:36] But why is Disha Patni there? Like, is she friends with all these women? Like, I don't get it.

[00:05:43] It's just like random.

[00:05:46] I'm just thinking about the fact that, you know, you have Shananya and Ananya and

[00:05:50] Vananya and they're all there. And, you know, they have to listen to this opera and

[00:05:54] they're probably just all repeating the same monologue that they've, you know, ratified is,

[00:06:00] you know, Preeti's Inta explaining opera to Aamir Khan in Dil Chahta Hai.

[00:06:05] This is the only analysis they have and Kresada.

[00:06:13] I don't know. So when is the wedding? When is it? How come you're not invited,

[00:06:17] Amrita? You're an influencer. I don't know. I can't believe Disha Patni is invited and I'm

[00:06:22] not. That's what you're, that's the 90% of pettiness, right? That's where it's coming from.

[00:06:28] I think I saw a tweet saying somebody please invite Joya Akhtar and a nice cameraman to

[00:06:34] accompany their crews. That would be funny. Oh, we'll see it in Made in Heaven Season

[00:06:39] 3, man. We don't need her to be there exactly. So yeah, good times. I missed

[00:06:48] completely all of that. I just, I did see some people arriving on boats or something, but

[00:06:53] I never even, because I don't know how long this wedding is going on for. Like,

[00:06:58] I don't know if the groom will survive until the time he actually gets married. You know,

[00:07:02] I don't know what's going on. I don't know. I wanted to say like speaking of Janvi, she has

[00:07:10] a release out with Rajkumar Rao, like Mr. and Mrs. Mahi and I saw quite a bit of positive

[00:07:16] buzz at least on Karan Johar's timeline. But none of us went for it.

[00:07:25] I considered it, but then I was sick and I was like, I don't like, no, like I made the effort

[00:07:31] for Manthan, but I just, I can't make the effort for Mr. and Mrs. Mahi. I'm sorry.

[00:07:37] I'm happy it's doing well though. Like I'm happy for them. Like I think both of them

[00:07:42] deserve a win. And you know, if it's not like a horrible toxic movie, you know, great.

[00:07:46] Like I'm all for it. You know, it's just not something I was personally interested in.

[00:07:50] Did we even discuss the trailer? I think we did. Right. Yeah. So even the trailer wasn't

[00:07:56] something that was really standing out to us. So, but yeah, glad for them. Right.

[00:08:01] And he also had that other movie that came out, Srikant or something like he was a

[00:08:06] biopic, right? Yeah. I don't know if that did well or not. I don't think it did, but I think

[00:08:11] it was quite respectable in terms of its budget. Like it made back its money or something.

[00:08:17] I think Janvi also did a Reddit AMA. Oh, did she?

[00:08:24] I thought you were saying Janvi did a Reddit MMA.

[00:08:28] That would be cool. She probably could.

[00:08:32] Like she could man. Yeah. She does a lot of squats, man. She could do it.

[00:08:35] Yeah. So, but I haven't read it. I didn't follow it.

[00:08:40] Yeah. It depends who she's fighting. She cannot fight against Chandu Champion.

[00:08:47] I don't know, man. I'm sure she has a bit of like residual anger still in there that she can

[00:08:51] use. Or did she go? No, she went out with the other champion.

[00:08:56] No, no, she went with Chandu Champion. Him also. Okay.

[00:09:00] Was the Liger champion, who was he? Oh, yeah. Oh, no, he was with,

[00:09:05] did he go out with the other champion? I don't know. I'm too old for this shit.

[00:09:09] Anyway, let's read a few messages that we got on Patreon because we did an Amarag

[00:09:16] Varanthani episode last time and people really, really liked it. Who would have thought?

[00:09:23] This was such a fun listen. Your energy was infectious. That was a lot of fun. I suggest

[00:09:29] Asim should drop references to Cracked in every episode from now. It has happened in the last

[00:09:36] three episodes. No reason to stop now. I think we can only keep this train going if you guys also

[00:09:44] watch Cracked. No, no, that's not gonna happen. Guys, the movement is spreading. Yesterday,

[00:09:54] I saw the movie on one of my torrent websites. So you never know, man, it can go viral any

[00:09:59] moment now. The idea of somebody actually stealing that movie is incredibly hilarious to me.

[00:10:07] Where was it streaming anyway? It was on, I saw it on Hotstar, I think.

[00:10:15] I think that's what it is. Yeah. This episode prompted me to watch the movie,

[00:10:21] which I hadn't seen from start to finish in one setting. Loved the movie, loved your review too

[00:10:25] much. Such a fun episode. 25 minutes in and I'm laughing in my car out loud. Asim Asteyabali,

[00:10:32] I did not see that coming. Yeah. Meera, I also did not see that coming. That's where

[00:10:40] we would be going with that episode. I actually got like one of my friends wrote in after

[00:10:48] she listened to the episode and she was in tears when she was listening to us because

[00:10:54] it was just so nice to be reminded of the kindness in the world. She's also one of the

[00:11:00] patrons that we have. Honestly, that's true. It was nice to be reminded that there is good

[00:11:08] in the world. I think sometimes we just get so surrounded by negativity that it's easy to

[00:11:14] forget that good things also exist and good people exist. Fun things can happen in cinema

[00:11:22] and not just like fighter pilots with kajal in their eyes. We just need to go back to the

[00:11:30] 70s to find that goodness though it seems, right? Last email here I got from Rupa. Rupa!

[00:11:39] Why? Why? That's how I read her name. That's how I read it. In a Salman Khan style always.

[00:11:49] Dear Asim Sujoy and Amrita, what an episode I just finished listening and had to write to you.

[00:11:54] Only complaint is that it was too short. I think this might, one might, you might have

[00:11:59] the same complaint. Only complaint was you could have gone on for another two hours and

[00:12:03] I could have listened. It's such an iconic movie. We love it at our home. My kids and I

[00:12:07] love the movies, the song, the clothes, the dialogue, everything. Amitabh and Parveen.

[00:12:12] I remember imitating her slow motion running when I was a kid. It tickled my fancy when

[00:12:17] Sujoy mentioned it on the podcast. All in all good content, fun episode, great jobs,

[00:12:22] great jobs, great job guys. Rupa! Yes, good content. That's the kind of reviews we want.

[00:12:31] Love it. Yeah, no thanks for everybody that wrote in and thank you.

[00:12:38] You know, we never know with these older episodes that they will hit and it's great that

[00:12:45] you know people are enjoying it and we could also just take a moment from everything else

[00:12:49] that was going on. I think we appreciated it and I'm glad that the listeners did too.

[00:12:54] Yes. Honestly like once we have our website up which should be happening any moment now.

[00:13:01] But once we have that going, I really do think that we might do like a at least like a limited

[00:13:08] edition Amitabh Bachchan retrospective because I think they're getting like a good response for

[00:13:14] these right. Yeah, I think people really like them and I think you know and especially when

[00:13:18] there's not much going on in terms of just you know new releases. I think people appreciate

[00:13:25] it. I think it's kind of 50-50. People want us to do these older movies but we always

[00:13:30] thought you know there's not that many people listening. But I think now we just have like

[00:13:34] a lot of people listening to us anyway so maybe we can revisit these older movies too

[00:13:40] or you know in a different format. I watched a few other things. I don't know should I

[00:13:46] talk about Parvish a little bit or? Parvish. Yeah, go for it. Yeah because you're still

[00:13:51] on that Amaragbhar Anthony. Yeah exactly. That's what was my segue because I was in

[00:13:55] this whole Amaragbhar Anthony one more than this I think and I will because Prime has also uploaded

[00:14:02] a lot of these movies like in a good print although I didn't watch this on Prime. It

[00:14:06] was just inspiring like I was thinking of Amrit, I was thinking of our friend top friend

[00:14:10] Beth who had recommended Parvish, Amitabh's Manmohan Dehasai movie with Vinod Khanna

[00:14:18] which a while ago and I just found it so I was like I'll watch it because I'm in that

[00:14:24] zone. Were you watching it for the first time? First time I'd never watched this movie before

[00:14:28] which is such a trip right because you guys love this movie both of you right you've watched it

[00:14:33] many many times I'm assuming. Yes. So it's such a trip watching a movie like this of that era

[00:14:40] that I love that I'd never seen so you detach it from all of your childhood memories of it

[00:14:46] and you watch it kind of you know from a blank slate and it's really really interesting

[00:14:52] to watch it because but I do have one comment though and I think I need to say this to you

[00:14:58] Amrit, I need to say this to Beth to everybody. Do not swindle me by telling me it's an Amitabh

[00:15:05] movie when it's not an Amitabh movie. You've done this twice to me now and I do not

[00:15:10] appreciate it. This was a Vinod Khanna movie this was not an Amitabh movie and even Manmohan

[00:15:17] Desai 60% of the movie said wait a minute this is not going the way it should be going

[00:15:26] switch it to Amitabh. He switched it so Amitabh and Amitabh is like breaking the fourth wall

[00:15:32] again and he's like he's not blind anymore I was like nah this is what we need now he knows

[00:15:37] what the audience wants but the idea why Beth sold me on and she knows me so well this

[00:15:43] is where you have an old friendship she sold me on the submarine

[00:15:50] I was just thinking in my head as you were saying I was like I bet it's a submarine

[00:15:56] and in this movie it's not even a submarine it's a Chekhov submarine because

[00:16:04] they show it the first five minutes and they don't talk about it for the rest of the movie

[00:16:10] so the rest of the movie I'm like where's that submarine?

[00:16:16] I just love it because suddenly they have all of these villains they have this dacoit they

[00:16:21] have Amjad Khan you know all of these things happening but that's not enough they need a man

[00:16:27] named Supremo and who can Supremo be it can only be Kader mother****** he just kind of

[00:16:36] comes in with this sarjon kind of setup what was this sarjon setup that everybody used to

[00:16:42] have in that era right like oh my god this movie made me so happy this movie is so low effort

[00:16:49] because they don't even give anybody names Neetu is Neetu Shabana is Shabbo you know

[00:16:56] Amitabh is Amit they just they just ran away they're like you know it'll be way too

[00:17:03] difficult to maintain continuity so just show up and then we'll just call you whatever we call you

[00:17:08] oh my god guys I wish like in a way I don't want to do a full review on this episode because I

[00:17:14] feel we should watch this all together invite top fanbreath and then break it down beat by beat

[00:17:22] because Vinod Khanna has a coconut-sized grenade that's then a lighter well I have

[00:17:29] 20 minutes of content just about that guys like I can't make this a purvarish episode just about

[00:17:36] myself yeah also everyone that's like thinking about like oh I wonder why Asim is like so

[00:17:43] interested in the submarine no no you guys don't understand about the submarine it's a

[00:17:48] two-person submarine that is right out of the comics of the 1970s yes you need to watch this

[00:18:00] movie to appreciate the submarine yeah like this is your sign like take it go watch purvrish

[00:18:07] Zibisco is a cbi officer for a minute like shit is happening guys in this movie shit is

[00:18:14] happening um I gotta say the songs weren't as good but it's beside that one song that I actually

[00:18:19] knew some songs are let down and overall the you can see the production value is not there

[00:18:26] compared to amara brantley uh they also make the women climatary and then they just set it on

[00:18:33] fire they do they do because because so joy said you know oh you'll be humming humming

[00:18:43] was it that song because it's one of those memories as a kid where you're like need to sing

[00:18:53] that's a very inappropriate t-shirt I remember that as a kid like things started moving then

[00:18:59] in the body I was like wait a minute so I remembered it from that but yeah they they

[00:19:07] lied at these women climatary and then they just set it on fire 70s style it is so dangerous guys

[00:19:14] like this these women were in mortal danger 100 you know uh yeah guys this was this was a fun

[00:19:20] watch so we should do a full review on purvrish I just wanted to add this to the

[00:19:25] amara amara Anthony conversation um all this chat though is like leading me to thinking

[00:19:33] like the shit that will go down when we discuss shaan on an episode is going to be

[00:19:39] legendary my ultimate favorite movie I like shaan more than I like sholey that's how much I like

[00:19:45] yeah love love love love love it um oh on the boat like I don't want to get on it

[00:19:57] no no let's keep it there's a distinctly naval theme to this

[00:20:03] I'd like a I'd like a thing at that moment although wait shaan is shaan is one

[00:20:08] no no no shaan is not one of them okay um you also went back in time and you watched something

[00:20:16] that we discussed on last episode abrita yes yes so I went for the restored version of manthan

[00:20:24] um and it's really funny because it feels like every single person I know in India who

[00:20:28] loves the movies was there to watch the movie as well uh and of course the bombay ones always

[00:20:34] got as usual you know they got like the best screening like the cast and the directors came

[00:20:39] out like you watched it in bombay no no no I watched it in bang in bangalore but I'm saying

[00:20:44] like the people in bombay got to watch it with shaan minnigal and do like a q q and a at the

[00:20:49] end and everything um but uh yeah so this was this was dude can I just say like this is a movie

[00:20:59] that was made uh like farmers crowdfunded the the the movie right like they literally gave like

[00:21:07] one rupee two rupee whatever like 500 000 farmers in gujarat put together their money

[00:21:13] and they financed this film um it was directed by shaan ben agar and it uh the cinema the

[00:21:22] cinematographer is govind nihilani um it has a script that was written by vijay tendolkar

[00:21:32] um it stars smita pathil naseeruddin shah girish karnad anant nag mohan agashe amrish puri

[00:21:44] like think about like you know like a character actor or like an arts film actor from like that

[00:21:54] era they're probably in it together yes together and shakal

[00:22:08] the dialect coach was dina pathak they had a dialect coach you know like and I'm just like

[00:22:17] watching this film and there's this shot where you know the introduction scene for smita pathil

[00:22:23] you know she's like she's like getting up from like milking a cow and it's a very like normal

[00:22:29] like you know like she's just like she just gets to her feet and like walks into this hut

[00:22:34] and then girish karnad sort of like calls for her and she comes in out of the hut and you

[00:22:39] just see her face how far have we fallen as an industry you know in bollywood like the

[00:22:46] amount of talent and gorgeousness and swag like naseeruddin shah in this film like I don't think

[00:22:55] people remember what he was like in the 80s like that man had like like oh my god he is so

[00:23:05] good it was like he was like nitu singh's t-shirt in the yeah that's exactly what it was

[00:23:12] you know like he's just got this swag to him and I'm just like wow and smita pathil is just

[00:23:20] gorgeous just absolutely gorgeous and they are all such great actors they're amazing and the

[00:23:27] song this is like one song and that song is like really great and I'm just like wow this

[00:23:32] is a really good song and everything about it the cinematography is outstanding like everything

[00:23:39] and the politics of this film is incredible there's like there's like a scene early on like

[00:23:45] it's not even like a big climax but early on there's like a scene where like the the city

[00:23:52] like the foreign educated like scientist is trying to tell the farmers you know like a

[00:23:57] cooperative is good for you it like these are the benefits that you'll get out of it blah blah

[00:24:04] and then it cuts to the farmers and the farmers are just like f you and your like you know politics

[00:24:10] like we just want to survive like are you going to give us money um and it's such an amazing

[00:24:19] moment of clarity where you have like idealism on one side and then you have like reality on

[00:24:25] the other side and you're just like it's great that you have like idealism and that you

[00:24:31] want to do something for the long term and you have all these plans and ideas but

[00:24:38] when you build those ideas by ignoring the ground reality that is unfolding right now

[00:24:48] that's not like that's not going to bring about the change that you want

[00:24:53] because the only way to for that to happen is over the bodies of those who you are saying that

[00:25:03] you want to benefit but are also the people who will have to pay that sacrifice you know

[00:25:12] so it's just like the the politics of this film are like so clear and they're so

[00:25:19] nuanced and i just oh it was so great it's still current you know what you're telling me yeah

[00:25:25] yeah it's still current it's like you know like the and it also makes like a strong case

[00:25:31] for people from the community because Naseeruddin Shah's character is basically from

[00:25:36] a Dalit background who needs to come and like you know like take ownership of what's happening

[00:25:42] and then you see that you know like it's not a it's not like a an uplifting tale of like

[00:25:49] the oppressed classes succeeding like that's not what this movie is it's basically they succeed

[00:25:57] but there are consequences to their triumph you know they end up losing everything and then

[00:26:03] they are back to square one and have to start all over again um it's just it's just amazing

[00:26:11] but also do you guys remember my friend Nidhi in like she came to like the Khanda meetup in London

[00:26:21] so when i was watching this film they had like an acknowledgement stage where like they were

[00:26:26] just thanking like a whole bunch of jereja people and they were just saying you know like

[00:26:30] this jereja that jereja this jereja that jereja and they were like they belonged to like

[00:26:36] something called the Rajkot dairy and i was like oh like huh now i'm just gonna like ask Nidhi if

[00:26:43] like that's her family because i know like they're from Rajkot so i um i got in touch with her

[00:26:49] and i was just like hey like i saw Manthan again and i don't know if you know what that is but

[00:26:54] it's this movie blah blah blah and she was like yeah that's my family it was like what

[00:26:59] what and it turns out like one of her uncles was really big in the cooperative farming

[00:27:07] circles and he was like a huge advocate for this film um and he was the one who brought them to

[00:27:16] their village and like you know her family uh hosted the cast and crew and they helped them

[00:27:23] like organize everything and i was like wow like who knew wow and this was the 25

[00:27:32] year release uh re-release or i think it's the 30 no this movie released in 1976 yeah much longer

[00:27:40] yeah yeah okay and is this gonna go i mean is this a wide release or probably this is the

[00:27:47] only place you could have watched it in those select screenings there right i mean i'm not

[00:27:51] gonna get access to it here in the uk i imagine it's not releasing in the uk but the amul channel

[00:27:57] on youtube has the full movie out officially the restored print i'm not sure if it's a

[00:28:02] restored print but it's a fairly like hd good print nice nice nice see the things can happen

[00:28:10] if you crowdfund like so i would say from one dollar sign up sign up to the khanan patreon

[00:28:19] and make good things happen yeah things can happen you know if you support

[00:28:24] work of people you wanna it's true it's true let's cooperate and churn the shit out of this

[00:28:33] um i watched a few other things so joy did you watch anything i forgot i've been watching like

[00:28:38] bits and pieces but nothing like bollywood related i watched a polish like crime mystery

[00:28:45] movie called color of evil red which was meh it was okay color red right is that the one

[00:28:52] color of evil red yeah i saw that on netflix too yeah yeah it was trending movies i've never

[00:28:58] like i only thing i hear about polish movies from farah khan so i'm clearly biased but

[00:29:05] it's very much uh like nordic noir adjacent in that way farah khan is always you know like

[00:29:12] all these critics you know always criticizing me they probably just watch some polish movies

[00:29:16] instead you know so that's the only thing she's like for her it like

[00:29:20] polish movies are like the height of art you know so i just find that hilarious that's

[00:29:24] hilarious because like the only polish movie that i've heard of is that porn movie that

[00:29:29] came on netflix during the pandemic that everybody was watching like do you remember

[00:29:35] but i think she means like kislowski movies you know blue red like but i think that's what she

[00:29:41] maybe means i don't know what she means it's farah khan you know uh but yeah it's uh i just

[00:29:46] thought it funny uh so it's all it didn't work for you sujai there's a lot of violence

[00:29:52] against one woman and other women as well so it was difficult to watch yeah but and even the

[00:29:59] the twist and whatever was uh i didn't really find it engaging enough for a noir thriller

[00:30:08] that i usually like um what else i started watching an anime called demon slayer which

[00:30:15] everybody in the world has been watching but i'm late to the hype but two episodes and i'm

[00:30:20] quite liking it um what else we all watch furiosa except for uh amrita and we would

[00:30:27] like her to definitely go and watch it i just want to point out that it's not that i have

[00:30:33] bad taste in movies that i didn't watch the reason was that i was sick and i 100

[00:30:41] intend to watch furiosa as soon as possible no spoilers from us but when chapter three

[00:30:47] happens you will get your socks blown off like oh okay that it's yeah there's a we can

[00:30:54] do on um for patreon we can do like a episode where we just talk about non-bollywood stuff

[00:30:59] we watch because i've watched a bunch of stuff too lately uh like fall guy which amrita

[00:31:05] fall guy you would love yeah uh yeah so i think we can do a special episode on that

[00:31:10] maybe um segue to the anime part uh i watched something too um because i got an email from the

[00:31:19] amazon press release about this uh i don't know what the numbers are kalki 28972408bx

[00:31:28] i don't know whatever this movie is whenever it's releasing they did a preview a prequel

[00:31:34] animated show so i got the like the screenshot of it and i thought this looks so bad like

[00:31:40] i don't i made me physically angry because my daughter is now older but there was a

[00:31:46] a few years where i was really looking for desi content for kids that i could show them

[00:31:52] right and i literally had mr india you know um sari ke falsa and uh you know like uh jakka

[00:32:02] jassoos that's pretty much all i had you know so i was kind of looking for stuff and i was

[00:32:06] like this is what they're making and then the same week um chota bheem the live action

[00:32:12] got released which looks terrible like the kids are bad actors like they're not good at all

[00:32:18] i've never watched a chota bheem so i don't know how bad the uh cartoon shows but

[00:32:23] it's very mythological uh mythological religious so it wasn't really like

[00:32:28] like it's not something that was necessarily interesting for my daughter um so but then on

[00:32:35] hotstar they also dropped bahu bali crown of blood and this is a show that they've been talking

[00:32:42] about since the first bahu bali got released right like raja maudi is making this animated

[00:32:49] show and they're expanding the story and stuff like that all of this is happening it's finally

[00:32:54] been released uh and i i think they released the first three episodes i watched the first

[00:33:00] two episodes because i could not get through the third one anymore um have you guys heard of it

[00:33:07] have you guys watched it have you any interest in it i've heard of it no no no but uh no i'm

[00:33:13] not gonna watch it and i have no interest in it yes so i yeah okay so i don't know if

[00:33:19] maybe it would have been a better idea for this to show this show to come out when it

[00:33:23] was supposed to come out you know during the bahu bali uh hype era but since then the

[00:33:28] second one came out bahu bali came out and he's even done the rrr so the bahu bali train has kind

[00:33:33] of left the you know the station already and it's also very unfortunate timing because

[00:33:38] literally this is coming out when x-men 97 came out uh invincible came out and i'm a huge

[00:33:45] anime animation guy i'm watching at the moment scavengers reign on netflix which is so good

[00:33:52] guys so weird and so good and beautiful animation and then you gotta watch bahu bali crown of blood

[00:33:58] and you just like man they have no respect for this medium for this art form you know

[00:34:03] in america there's all of these questions going on about you know how ai should be used and

[00:34:08] what should we do and what we shouldn't shouldn't do clearly these questions are not being asked

[00:34:14] in indian animation whatsoever and it really looks like half of the show is uh ai generated

[00:34:21] animation and the second half is just you know when you have that tiktok filter when you become

[00:34:25] a samurai you know like the one sujoy also has you know that that's what the show looks like

[00:34:32] um and also like the the uh there's a certain you would think that raja mauli's movies would

[00:34:40] be perfect for animation because they're already so heightened right like you could just take

[00:34:46] his storyboards and make that into animation and it would work but it doesn't because the way he

[00:34:53] shows is such heightened emotions they cannot replicate it if they don't have the quality

[00:34:59] in uh you know animation and it just like falters in terms of quality in terms of voice work

[00:35:06] um like you know uh it's it's so it's it's the period before so you had the first bahu

[00:35:13] valley right the dad with his um so it's his adventures basically not the second bahu valley

[00:35:20] the the the son that came in um so they add a bit of these raja mauli flourishes where you

[00:35:28] know the the hair is you know shaking in the wind a little bit the guy spits spits blood and

[00:35:34] then he starts like a badass fight but it's also like these weird things where the second

[00:35:39] episode is that you remember that tavern scene in maulajat uh where these dacoits come in and

[00:35:46] they know they want to rape the tavern keeper's daughter but why that scene is played beat by

[00:35:54] beat in the second episode of bahu valley crown of blood and i was like why is this

[00:35:59] in a kid show why are you you know this is not where and then katappa is the one that saves

[00:36:07] but it's it's really odd tone of like adding these telgu filmmaking sensibilities to a kid's

[00:36:15] animation show so the quality is not there to appeal to animation nuts like you or me or

[00:36:21] you know whoever else that loves that kind of thing and it's not uh appropriate for children

[00:36:29] unless you want to you know show them show them these kind of storylines so i don't know

[00:36:34] where it kind of falls in but it just is for me it's an utter utter failure and to hype it up

[00:36:40] for so long talk about it for so long raja mauli is producing it he has a hand in it

[00:36:46] but i don't know if this is just not his medium or he didn't get it didn't feel like

[00:36:50] he cared about this like he moved on he was doing something else um so yeah it this is an

[00:36:57] utter utter failure for me i would not recommend the show and what it doesn't look like bujji

[00:37:02] bhaav bhairavi the kaal ki one looks good either so i don't know it just um yeah it looks bad

[00:37:12] it's not it's not something i would recommend um so yeah that was a flop for me what was a hit

[00:37:18] for me is uh the first episode of we are lady parts yeah nice a show i absolutely love uh

[00:37:27] so did you did you guys catch it is it out already not yet i haven't watched season two

[00:37:34] yeah yeah is are all the episodes out or is it just all the episodes are out in america they're

[00:37:40] out on peacock um so i don't know how in in india you can watch them but uh i'm sure there

[00:37:46] are ways uh but yeah i suppose the peacock i think streams on geocinema or something

[00:37:53] yeah i think so oh nice but uh what were you saying it's on channel four right yeah i was

[00:37:58] watching on channel four i just watched the first episode because i literally could not wait and i

[00:38:01] wanted to talk about it i mean this is probably one of the this and man like mubeen are probably

[00:38:07] the two best things that the uk has come out with i mean you know people will be hyping

[00:38:13] fleabag it's fine it's fine you know but these two man like mubeen and we are lady parts are

[00:38:21] like the best that the uk has produced um you know uh maybe you know maybe the uk should

[00:38:29] invest a bit more in diversity and non-white creators maybe that would be an idea right uk

[00:38:36] but i think there is another british comedy called juice with mawan rizwan

[00:38:40] on bbci player yeah i think i i'm not sure if it has been commissioned for season two or

[00:38:46] series two yet it's just six episodes of season one it's hilarious hilarious juice

[00:38:54] yeah as in j u i c j u i c okay your volume is like really low for some reason i don't know

[00:39:02] is it awesome it uh like now it's okay when you're close to the mic but

[00:39:06] yeah i think you were just away from it for a bit uh yeah so the first first episode i

[00:39:11] watched it's amazing like i'm so happy because it took a while a break between season one and

[00:39:17] two so i was worried that with polite society and things like that the season two wasn't

[00:39:21] happening it's so good i miss these women so much they're in a such a good space at the

[00:39:28] start of this episode which is fun to just see some you know characters be in a good place

[00:39:33] right like we were talking about earlier too um i really thought you will love this and

[00:39:38] the songs i've forgotten how good these songs are for somebody that does not like guitar music

[00:39:44] and heavy metal and punk like basheer with the good beard is back it gets a remix

[00:39:50] they got the new songs they're working on a lady's anthem it's amazing i cannot wait to

[00:39:57] finish this uh this season i'm gonna probably blast to it before the end of the week so you

[00:40:02] might hear me talk about it again on the next episode but yeah we are lady parts is out

[00:40:07] and i'm so psyched for it like i cannot wait to watch this like the uk does this thing where

[00:40:14] you know how like the americans are just like oh my god we made some content we're gonna like

[00:40:18] tell everyone about it and then the indians are like we made some content you can get it on

[00:40:23] telegram youtube that you want and then the uk is like we made some content and how dare you

[00:40:31] watch it like yeah you better not be watching our content um it's just weird funnily i went to i

[00:40:39] mean i could talk about this probably i went to this bbc panel uh bbc does this uh panel every

[00:40:45] couple of months about diversity in media and they kind of uh they put it together but it's

[00:40:52] not part of the bbc so i went there and there were directors and creators from channel four

[00:40:57] from bbc commissioners uh you know people that are really in the know talking about the

[00:41:03] difficulty about diversity in the uk and i was kind of thinking about it you know like and

[00:41:08] it's the same problem that we as khandan get to right like we um we don't necessarily appeal

[00:41:14] to a white audience our audience is brown and that audience is undervalued by you know brands

[00:41:23] so for to give you an example most of our listeners are in india but um people brands do

[00:41:31] not pay as much for listeners in india so that becomes an issue for creators like us who are

[00:41:36] not on youtube for example that it's very hard for us to earn money off of that and it's a

[00:41:43] it's a big problem for people that want to create create diverse content in the uk because

[00:41:48] the uk content is so gate kept um you know like the nidha manzoor thing the we are lady parts or

[00:41:55] man like movie in a show that i absolutely love is only available on bbc i player or only

[00:42:01] available but through bread box in the u.s so i don't know how you can watch it in india

[00:42:06] right and that is something that would speak so much to indians and pakistanis it's a huge

[00:42:12] audience but it's a way of gatekeeping whereas hundred thousands of shows about you know white

[00:42:18] people solving a crime or being sad wearing old people's clothes gets commissioned and you know

[00:42:25] bridgerton is no not bridgerton the other one downtown abbey is like the most basic show ever

[00:42:30] but because it got exported it becomes a massive massive thing and it is a way to gate

[00:42:36] keep brown people and not make them successful by keeping these shows in a very limited space

[00:42:42] and then telling them yeah but the show is not successful because nobody watched it

[00:42:47] but nobody watched it because it's literally just available on iplayer put it around to the

[00:42:51] global majority that is out there and let's see how it hits you know and i think that's just

[00:42:57] one way that you know white people gate keep us um and i think it's a big big problem

[00:43:04] so i think amrita you've hit the nail on the head i think it is a big problem and it's a uk

[00:43:09] white people problem and it keeps us down start the revolution block the barricades until

[00:43:14] palestine is free um that's right from the river to the sea um what else came out oh i mean

[00:43:24] there's not much i just wanted to hit these points quickly a few things uh that i got in

[00:43:30] my email box from pr company so i want to talk to you guys about it uh it's uh got season two

[00:43:41] what what like who was asking for this like literally nobody but then i was watching i was

[00:43:49] reading um was it kathy gibson yes summit yes on um on twitter who is talking about like why

[00:43:55] so kathy gibson for those of you who don't know like she usually talks about uh streaming

[00:44:02] and like indian shows and stuff like that she talks about like you know uh usually like she

[00:44:06] talked that she talks about what's new and what's just come out etc but she also just

[00:44:11] talks about the economics of it from time to time and she said basically that netflix

[00:44:18] commissions further seasons of shows that drive metrics in certain ways and the way that she

[00:44:28] reads this particular commission is that hira mandi drove new subscriptions um and it was some

[00:44:37] sort of like a massive jump like it clearly moved the needle in some way for netflix to be

[00:44:42] like okay um and then of course there were like people on twitter who were going like

[00:44:48] do you see now what happens when you hate watch things i think 80 percent of this show was just

[00:44:55] sanjali laban sally being annoyed at everybody making fun of his niece and he's like

[00:45:05] apparently the second season is uh all the tavayevs moving to bombay to uh act in the

[00:45:13] industry so it's basically it's basically jubilee but like you know by sanjali laban sally which

[00:45:20] i'm yeah i don't i don't know what to do with this information is it is like he was watching

[00:45:25] jubilee and he's saying now this needs more chandeliers color coordination

[00:45:36] it's true like when jubilee came out i remember thinking to myself in passing that wow

[00:45:40] sanjali laban sally must be mad that somebody else got to do this before he did and he's just

[00:45:46] like you know what i don't care i'm gonna do it all over again so i think 80 percent is uh sanjali

[00:45:54] laban sally being annoyed 20 is that sujoy has still not watched this show so good for you

[00:46:03] make season two and then sujoy will get fomo and he'll finally watch hira mandi i'm i'm

[00:46:09] beyond fomo at this moment i'm like i don't care it's been it's taken me years i have not

[00:46:16] watched a single episode of one piece the anime and it's like on episode 1000 something uh i

[00:46:22] don't care at this point i've made peace with the fact that i will not be able to you know

[00:46:29] watch every piece of content that the world is watching i'm fine with that

[00:46:33] but no but also i gotta say like i think we made fun of it and discussed it i did like a lot

[00:46:39] of hira mandi you know until the last two three episodes i thought it was it was a really really

[00:46:45] good show um if you're going to show me a show about like sunakshi's and her character

[00:46:50] moving to bombay and like you know like it's like you know just is that what the show would

[00:46:57] be sunakshi or you we already dropped the gem of one of the singers right like she was

[00:47:02] already making songs so maybe they could tie it in there i don't know if alam zeb is going to be

[00:47:08] involved or not she seems to be you know like faridah jalal's daughter-in-law now so uh

[00:47:15] murdered that man right like she killed a police officer so did she go to jail after that

[00:47:20] partition everybody was killing anybody it's all murder here or there

[00:47:26] yeah

[00:47:37] i also don't know how they'll get aditya rao hyderi and um alam zeb back into a room together

[00:47:44] after the interview she's been doing we haven't actually never discussed this

[00:47:49] have you guys like watched a few of those only on instagram like you know the clips like i

[00:47:54] i don't think i don't have the patience to sit through an entire interview with all of those

[00:48:00] people like i just can't do it so i like sujoi probably don't know the context of this right so

[00:48:04] um they were doing like post-release interviews and uh um like people have been making fun of

[00:48:14] the actress playing alam zeb for a while what's her name sorry i'm like sharmans nai girl for a

[00:48:20] while her acting is not good which i feel it's vastly exaggerated the reels and i think a lot

[00:48:25] of it is just so no real popular okay we'll all have the same take it's fine um so i thought

[00:48:32] it was part of that and then people were like uh putting clips of how rude she is on interviews

[00:48:40] and how defensive she is on interviews and i was like yeah this is just the same thing and

[00:48:45] then i just had one on tiktok come in and i was like wow that is really bad those interviews are

[00:48:52] really bad like those soundbites how actively like uh i mean i can say horrible she is to

[00:49:00] aditi rao headri and how much aditi rao headri and sunakshi are kind of over it so like you

[00:49:06] can either be uncalented or you can have a bad personality like you can't be like both like

[00:49:15] pick a struggle like it's just is this too much yeah um and she's like saying things she's like

[00:49:21] talking over people she was just so mean to sanjeeva share like one of the interviews

[00:49:26] and she's just like so like nasty like she and again like asan like i wanted to be

[00:49:34] well a little bit i wanted to be like you know oh the mob the mob is out again for the nepo child

[00:49:40] you know like i never listened to the mob um and then i saw these clips and i was like

[00:49:46] you know what the mob has a point i understand the guillotines that are being constructed over

[00:49:56] outside shamin seggal's house right now like i get it i get it yeah sometimes the mob is

[00:50:02] and sometimes the mob is ganga jal so it depends which mob it is you know like very specific

[00:50:11] references that maybe people get but that's where we are yes uh so and why would you be mad at

[00:50:20] aditi rao headri man she's like the nicest person ever like she seems like the nicest

[00:50:24] person ever i don't know uh and also kind of like messed up she like aditi rao headri had

[00:50:29] finally that a bit of momentum going with her swan walk or whatever it's called like she was

[00:50:35] on every it means elephant walk not swan walk elephant walk yeah why man why fat shame a woman

[00:50:42] she looks great i know it's a cutthroat um like that's what you call it

[00:50:51] they made the movie out of it with madhuri yeah emma fussain's gajagamini

[00:50:57] oh is that what it's about yeah yeah okay no nobody knows what that movie is about yeah but

[00:51:04] we can say that's what it's about yeah so i mean she was getting real she was getting popular

[00:51:10] and then this thing took it over can i tell you can i tell you about that though so um aditi

[00:51:16] rao headri does a gajagamini everyone loses their mind everyone's like oh my god like you

[00:51:21] know she's changed the conversation on like fat people like now fat is sexy again and i'm just

[00:51:29] like looking at her and just like what where's the fat anyway so she goes on an interview and

[00:51:34] she's like oh it's so wonderful that everybody is so accepting and the compliments and you know

[00:51:42] like uh when i was doing the costume fittings that's when we noticed that i'd put on a little

[00:51:48] bit of weight and i told sanjay and sanjay sir asked me did you put on some weight and i said

[00:51:54] oh i'll i'll lose it just give me 10 days do you know how much weight she had on um she had

[00:52:04] i mean 10 pounds max like you know like she had two kilos yeah yeah that's four pounds

[00:52:13] she like i was just like what that's what people are like talking about like i'll eat biryani and

[00:52:22] then i'll put on that much weight like what are you talking about but see this is why aditi rao

[00:52:28] headri is cool because she didn't lie two kilos you can lose in 10 days she didn't even

[00:52:32] like you know set the expectations high she's like yeah i'll just not have porridge for

[00:52:37] seven days and i'll be good you know like yeah actually funnily enough i was on this is a story

[00:52:44] that relates to your story i was on the bbc's 90s ultimate hits show they've been doing this

[00:52:53] for like a month on end actually i never said this because i didn't want to but i was the

[00:52:58] head judge of that whole queasy thing so every time there were too many songs or

[00:53:05] stuff like that they asked me and i had to make a judgment call every time so i was on that show

[00:53:10] and i was there it was a really really fun time and guys i gotta say my i mean haroon rashid is

[00:53:17] a bro you know he's a good friend but seeing him in action and nikita ganada nikita um

[00:53:25] on a live show like that they basically recorded for seven or eight hours straight

[00:53:30] wow i was like man it is an insane situation my respect for them was so high like you know

[00:53:36] we joke about podcasting and radio being kind of similar it is not it is completely different

[00:53:42] skill set i was so amazed to see it all happening and i was i had a really really fun time

[00:53:47] they invited me i was there for a few moments um so i'll add the show link i don't know if

[00:53:52] it's available for everybody i think it's available on sound bbc sound so you can listen

[00:53:57] to it but they had two stories that were intercutting so they were playing the songs

[00:54:00] they were talking about it and they were also intercutting interviews that they did so they

[00:54:05] had two interviews one was with sonali bendre sujoy's favorite um she was talking about a

[00:54:13] song uh when the one i don't know which song it was actually i think the problem from

[00:54:19] sarfarosh and uh she was like yeah oh so i was shooting this song and it was so difficult

[00:54:25] because my makeup artist didn't arrive on time so i just had to naturally go and shoot the song

[00:54:31] and you know like and basically we were saying oh so sonali is just like naturally beautiful

[00:54:37] you know like you know she's like oh i just need like rain water on my face and this is

[00:54:42] how i look you know and the second song was the second moment was salman khan talking about

[00:54:47] oh oh jane jaada again same story it's like yeah salman is like yeah i had a i was supposed

[00:54:53] to get a red shirt for that song and um the costume was sorry the costume did not come so he

[00:55:01] was the costumola didn't come in time so i was just like standing there and so he came up to me

[00:55:06] is like why they just shoot it like this i was like salman is just like yeah i just look like

[00:55:11] that i just standing there with my shirt off so he's a good idea that moment asim died

[00:55:21] yeah i was like yeah i mean yeah yeah so i've been these three stories are all so similar because

[00:55:30] they're all like i'm just like naturally like two kilos rain water there shirt

[00:55:36] to target karatha so you know these are all the same stories you know stars are stars for

[00:55:42] a reason it's like you know when kareena kapoor loses all the weight just by doing yoga you

[00:55:46] know like those kind of things

[00:56:00] um yeah i don't know a few other things that i caught uh did you guys see ishq vishk part

[00:56:06] two is coming up i saw the song yeah they're making it um rohit saraf saraf um he's been

[00:56:16] in a few things i don't know if you know him yeah i think we do the name is familiar

[00:56:21] yeah and i think the others are newcomers if i'm not mistaken i think the other guy is the guy

[00:56:28] who played uh shahrukh and kajol's son in ketriji oh let me find out his name people are going to

[00:56:37] be super mad that not only are we now launching nepo kids from like real life when we also have

[00:56:44] nepo kids from the movie yeah his name is gibran khan oh a khan another khan this is for

[00:56:55] when my daughter takes over khanda podcast she can talk about these

[00:56:59] bollywood jihad this is i shouldn't give people ideas because the dumber the idea

[00:57:09] the more likely it is to get a company yeah he was in ludo he was in hitchky he was in um

[00:57:16] rohit saraf he was in vikram veda sky is pink as well yeah yeah i've seen him in a few things

[00:57:22] um yeah so i mean did you guys see the song sujai you saw the song right how did it feel

[00:57:28] yeah it's a great song right the the ishqish title track and to hear sonu nigam sing it but

[00:57:34] then to see it on the face of rohit saraf who i still like even back in the day when shahid

[00:57:40] kapoor was doing it baby shahid's face with sonu nigam was a bit of an odd pair then

[00:57:47] then you see shahid kapoor playback singing to kumar sonu in the same movie like what's happening

[00:57:53] guys but then to see that many years later happening in this sort of reloaded version

[00:58:01] that tips is trying to make um i don't know it just feels like one of the dance competitions

[00:58:08] you know gana bajra and the bache are dancing it's kind of like that it felt very student

[00:58:13] of the year to me when i was watching it it felt like a diet version of that even yeah

[00:58:19] yeah you didn't watch it amrita right no yeah it's it's just like i don't like i want to wish

[00:58:27] success to all new actors and you know they're waiting for their big break and stuff like that

[00:58:31] but there's something special about shahid kapoor and amrita rao when they did ishqish

[00:58:38] you know it like you know what lightning in a bottle is you know um and i think it hit with

[00:58:44] those two uh the whole cast even you know like it was such like a great oh you know what is

[00:58:52] like lighting in a bottle reminds me of a trailer that i watched uh the new ajay devgan tabu movie

[00:58:59] what was it what's it called um something very long

[00:59:04] something like that and this is the movie that like i think asim is the one who said on twitter

[00:59:11] that this is the movie that everyone wants shahrukh and tabu to make and then ajay came in

[00:59:18] and like made it but you know like sometimes like most times i would say you watch the

[00:59:24] trailer of a movie and you know it's gonna be bad or it's gonna be good like you get a

[00:59:28] feeling for the quality of the product and i have a really good feeling about the quality

[00:59:33] of this you know like i feel like it's gonna be good um it's it's crazy that literally a 10

[00:59:39] second teaser and you can see there's something there right yeah like the chemistry the production

[00:59:44] like everything like is on point and of course like tabu and ajay like i think people have

[00:59:50] forgotten that ajay is actually like a really good actor like remember back in the 90s

[00:59:54] like you know when he was making things like zakham or even like you know his um

[00:59:59] his commercial movies were like really he was a really good actor it's just that in the past

[01:00:05] few years he's been making like weirdo movies that he's been directing himself so this is

[01:00:10] like a good way to sort of segue back into that ajay i think with ajay i think i don't

[01:00:16] think it's even i just fall necessarily i think the way cinema has been going for the last few

[01:00:22] years i think that's the kind of movie he's been making a lot of these massive big movies

[01:00:26] and great they're making a lot of money tana ji you know all the singhams they make a lot of

[01:00:31] money but we kind of miss that zakham ajay or ganga jal that i was just literally like

[01:00:37] referencing a couple of minutes ago i'm talking about this art movie from like 20 years ago

[01:00:42] because it left an impression on me right um and uh i i don't think necessarily people

[01:00:48] have forgotten that ajay is a good actor i think people have maybe forgotten that niraj

[01:00:52] pandey is a good director you know and i think i almost had like an anand l rai vibe to it when

[01:00:59] i saw the the trailer and i was like ah this is an interesting zone for him to be in

[01:01:04] and letting go of that you know nationalistic spy zone that he's been stuck in for the last

[01:01:08] few years so maybe this is a spy movie i don't know what it is about but it's definitely got

[01:01:12] my interest piqued which doesn't happen a lot anymore you know it's such a short

[01:01:18] they should do the funniest it's kind of wild to me that like even today the movies that spark our

[01:01:24] interest are still being made by men who debuted in the 90s yeah you know the khans ajay devgan

[01:01:31] like all these people you're just like huh if they know what they're doing and tabu sorry

[01:01:35] sujoy you were saying they should do the funniest thing and make a remix of le papiya jappiya pale hum

[01:01:41] that's so really

[01:01:45] that would be good that would be good but they've had few hits too like i think

[01:01:49] dedhana dhan was also hit like uh wasn't that like they're all in drisheem together yeah yeah

[01:01:55] they've done quite a bit of work together and uh they they love each other i mean they're

[01:01:59] best friends yeah you know and the thing is also like you know sharuk not being in a movie

[01:02:04] with tabu is completely sharuk's fault it's nobody else's fault this is sharuk's fault

[01:02:08] so anger wanted it to happen exactly it would happen yeah i don't know yeah sharuk just wants

[01:02:15] to what charak wants to but like you know let's just be happy for shara he took he took a break

[01:02:19] he's happy he seems in a good spot so we are uh recording this episode the day that india is

[01:02:27] announcing his electoral results and uh i just want to say like one of the memes that

[01:02:32] i've come up with is me like on instagram is the scene from jaman where sharuk

[01:02:43] is like asking people to like vote wisely and is this like is this sharuk's impact that we

[01:02:49] will see in elections because sharuk fans are unhinged to like another level uh but yeah we

[01:03:00] did take a vow not to talk about the election before we started recording because i had at least

[01:03:04] seven jokes that i didn't say um i just like you to know them that i had i had content

[01:03:14] on the other hand me and amrita are shitting our pants like we don't want to jinx anything

[01:03:19] we've got everything crossed and and like yeah we got no content it's all fear

[01:03:27] yes content did you guys watch the john oliver piece yes i did yes yes yes yeah that that was

[01:03:36] interesting again i'm not saying a word this day is over yeah i think um if we're not gonna
