A video version of this episode is available on our Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/khandaanpodcast In this episode, Asim and Sujoy are holding things down without Amrita — what started as a casual catch-up turns into a wider conversation about where Bollywood is right now. We get into the current slump at the box office, why modern romcoms aren’t landing the way they used to, and the growing feeling that a lot of what’s coming out just isn’t connecting anymore. Along the way, we talk awards drama, stand-up comedy, industry fatigue, and what audiences actually want from Hindi cinema. It’s a looser episode than usual, but one that ends up going a bit deeper than expected.
