This week on ‘Has It Aged Well?’ Abbas and Urjita are joined by stand-up comedian Kunal Rao to discuss the 2007 comedy ‘Partner’ directed by David Dhawan and starring Salman Khan, Govinda, Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta. Topics discussed include: David Dhawan of the 90s vs David Dhawan of the 2000’s, how close is this film to ‘Hitch’? The Sony pictures lawsuit, the core idea of this film and what men lack in dating etiquette, the cackling chemistry between Salman and Govinda, some problematic jokes, fawning over Lara Dutta and a lot more.

This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' we're revisiting another Govinda film (what can we say, we love chi chi) 'Akhiyon Se Goli Maare' from 2002 (or is it 1998? Hmmm). Joining Abbas and Urjita for the episode is stand up comedian and Govinda super fan Supriya Joshi. Topics discussed include: the absolutely bonkers premise of the film, how the character of "Bobda Bhai" probably came into existence, that one time Supriya met her idol Govinda, whether Govinda has influenced our joke writing and a lot more.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast brings you Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004) as we return to regular programming.

In this episode, we are joined by Shreemi Verma, the world-famous Face of Panache! Although MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI wasn’t her first pick, it is a movie that she has watched multiple times and we had lots to discuss.

Starring Salman Khan during the worst phase of his career, Akshay Kumar as he was on his way back to success, and a very young Priyanka Chopra, this David Dhawan directorial takes you right back to a very different era of Bollywood. We talk about the casting, the storylines, and how it makes us feel when we watch this movie in 2022.

Dive right in because this is a fun ride.

Kader Khan was an extraordinary writer and actor.

He was also one of the primary architects of, what I like to call, the Bachchan aura. He was instrumental in the careers of two other big stars as well - Jeetendra and Govinda.

Sukanya Verma, film critic, quiz-maker, and a true blue Hindi film buff,  joins us as we look back on Kader Khan's legacy. 

We talked about Kader Khan's difficult childhood, his course down the path of theatre, his early days in films, and his role in the towering career of Amitabh Bachchan.

We also covered Khan's mastery over language, which was instrumental in being able to write outstanding dialogue for filmmakers with contrasting styles, like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra - makers of some of Bachchan's biggest films.

Sukanya also touched on her favorite Kader Khan performances, Khan's subconscious imprint on the comedy of actors like Pankaj Tripathi, and why she is a big fan of Patal Bhairavi (1985) and Taqdeerwala (1995).

Finally, I shared some cool trivia (sent in by a listener) about a dark film that Kader Khan had planned on writing and directing, with Amitabh Bachchan in the lead.

This month, it will be two years since we lost Kader Khan. 

Join us, as we pay a small tribute, in our own way, to, as Sukanya likes to call him, "my favorite Khan."

Here's Sukanya's (in memoriam) piece from last year: http://www.sukanyaverma.com/2019/01/i-loved-kader-khan-i-spoke-kader-khan/
