Khandaan - A Bollywood Podcast
Three Bollywood-obsessed friends deep-dive into the films of the three Khans, with a heavy side of current industry news and irreverent gossip.
This is a roundtable film club for Bollywood fans, hosted by three longtime friends with encyclopedic knowledge of the industry. While nominally about the 'three Khans,' the show's real strength is its freewheeling, often hilarious analysis of current events, from casting controversies to celebrity PR strategies. It feels less like a formal review show and more like eavesdropping on a very informed, very funny group chat among genuine fans.
“Unlike more formal review podcasts, Khandaan's friendly chemistry and long-running inside jokes (like giving films nicknames such as 'Maa Behen' and 'Bandar') create a strong sense of community. Its specific focus on the 'Khan-era' provides a nostalgic lens that sets it apart from broader Bollywood news shows.”
Who hosts this show
Khandaan is a nostalgic deep dive into the movies of Aamir, Salman, and Shahrukh Khan, three of Bollywood's most enduring global superstars. Hosted by Asim Burney, Amrita Rajan, and Sujoy Ghosh, the podcast also covers current events in the Hindi film industry, new streaming content, and other film news on alternate weeks. The show began in 2018 after the three friends met in London and decided to turn their shared passion for cinema into a podcast. It operates as an independent, roundtable discussion where the hosts review films and debate industry happenings.
