Show Notes
Thisweek on Khandaan, we're covering a little bit of everything.
Amrita returns from her accidental social media detox with glowing skin, better sleep, and a newfound appreciation for blissful ignorance. Then it's on to the movies.
We discuss Chand Mera Dil and why its young-love-meets-adult-responsibility story left us feeling older than ever. We talk Ananya Panday's performance, the strange online discourse around the film's dance sequence, and whether Lakshya can successfully pivot from action star to romantic lead.
Sujoy reports back from Drishyam 3, exploring how the latest chapter shifts from thriller to character study and asks what life looks like after Georgekutty gets away with everything.
Asim recommends Dacoit: A Love Story, a Telugu romantic thriller starring Mrunal Thakur, and wonders why Bollywood still seems unsure what to do with one of its most compelling actresses.
And finally, we dive into Zombeeid (or Zombie Eid), Pakistan's first zombie movie. Despite the online backlash, we found a surprisingly entertaining genre film packed with zombie mayhem, steroid-fuelled horror, Pakistani humour, and some genuinely impressive gore on a modest budget.
Plus:
A varied episode, but exactly the kind of film-and-pop-culture catch-up we love doing.

Drishyam 3: One Body, Too Many Twists?
Samantha deserves a better family, Sujoy makes a case for Mirzapur, and Asim has found two good jokes in Welcome to the Jungle. Was it worth sitting through the rest of the film? You can probably guess.
Asim and Amrita are joined by Pakistani drama reviewer Sophia Q to discuss the opening episodes of Mitti De Baway. Does the much-anticipated pairing of Mahira Khan and Wahaj Ali deliver? We get into the three timelines, the performances, the striking production design and the amount of slow motion.
