We’ve reached the end of our 80’s Dhamaka journey — and we’re closing it out with the ultimate classic: Mr India(1987).
And while our 80’s Dhamaka series is wrapping up, we’ve got something new: our in-studio Khandaan Video Series is now live on YouTube!👉 Watch the first 2 episode here and subscribe: Khandaan on YouTube
In this episode, we:
-
Look back at the surprises and disappointments of the 80’s Dhamaka series — from unexpected gems like Chashme Buddoor to slogs like Kalia.
-
Talk about how the decade wasn’t as “bad” as Bollywood history suggests, especially for women actors and character performers like Saeed Jaffrey.
-
Debate whether the 80’s really belonged to Amitabh… or if it was secretly Anil Kapoor’s decade.
-
Review Mr India in depth: from Amrish Puri’s legendary Mogambo to Sridevi’s iconic Charlie Chaplin routine and Anil Kapoor’s unsung brilliance.
-
Discuss why Mr India’s emotional core — hungry children, found family, loss, and resilience — still works almost 40 years later.
This episode is part nostalgia trip, part critical reflection, and 100% Khandaan.
