Episode 70 of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast takes us back to our roots… and boy, is it a trip! Our feature of the day is the 1991 South-remake LOVE, starring Salman Khan, Revathi, Rita Bhaduri, Shafi Inamdar, and sadly enough, Amjad Khan. This topnotch pick comes courtesy an old friend of the podcast and shy netizen Shakeela aka @Get_Filmy whom you should follow on Twitter for some absolutely scorching Bolly takes.
Love is a complicated film whose sole purpose appears to be to beg the question WHY?
Why... do people forget that Salman has consistently done South remakes throughout his career instead of it being a career saving ploy in the 2000s? Why... is Salman so beautiful in this film? Why… is Revathi his best co-star? Why… does everything escalate in two seconds? Why… does all Bombay know Salman’s scandalous past? Why… is Salman a musician? Why… did Shakeela do this to us? And other burning questions.
