Welcome back to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and our review of LAAL SINGH CHADDHA!Directed by Advait Chandan and adapted from FORREST GUMP (1994) by Atul Kulkarni, Laal Singh Chaddha has been in the eye of the storm since we first saw a teaser pre-pandemic, for reasons good as well as terrible. Starring Aamir Khan as the titular character and costarring Kareena Kapoor as his one true love while Mona Singh plays his mother, Laal Singh Chaddha seems like a return to normal filmmaking after a long time. All three hosts saw this movie in the theater and were delighted to have a proper discussion again. Join us as we navigate some unexpected highs and lows.   Shownotes: Patreon: So you can help support us and grow our podcast by contributingThe Khandaan Merchandise store is live: A great new way to support your favourite Bollywood podcast.

Welcome to a special episode of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we give you a sneak peak into the kind of content you're likely to get on our Patreon. On this episode, it's just Asim and Amrita shooting the breeze about a couple of things that happened over the week. (You'll have to listen to find out why Sujoy is MIA). First up, we discussed the latest episode of KOFFEE WITH KARAN where Karan was at his neighbourhood aunty best (worst?) with Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan. This was an unexpectedly deep Bollywood-insider special episode with tons of gossip for those who know where to look. Next, we discussed the insane hype around the song Kesariya from the upcoming BRAHMASTRA and the round of memes that it inspired. And lastly, we talked about the soundtrack of SHAMSHERA and Ranbir Kapoor's uncanny good luck (or is it talent) when it comes to starring in movies with amazing music that will stand the test of time.
