In Episode 10 of The BoM Podcast, we revisit Imtiaz Ali’s deeply personal film Tamasha (2015), starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

We’re joined by our close friend and collaborator Sachit Grover (@grobroach) — an actor, creator, and fellow NRI Bollywood buff who also balances life in the corporate world. Together, we break down why Tamasha remains one of Bollywood’s most misunderstood yet powerful films about identity, creativity, and the struggle between passion and conformity.

We explore:
🎭 Ranbir Kapoor’s layered performance as Ved — one of his most vulnerable roles
💫 Deepika Padukone’s portrayal of Tara and her role as Ved’s emotional mirror
🎶 A.R. Rahman’s unforgettable soundtrack and how it shapes the film’s emotional rhythm
🎬 How Tamasha resonates differently for NRIs and Indians raised in India
🔥 And why this film hits even harder nearly a decade later

Join us as we unpack the art, emotion, and existential brilliance of Tamasha — a movie that feels more relevant now than ever.

In Episode 9 of The BoM Podcast, we dive into Aryan Khan’s highly anticipated Netflix directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood**, and briefly share our thoughts on this week’s release, Jolly LLB 3.

⚖️ First up, Jolly LLB 3. With Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi returning to the courtroom alongside Saurabh Shukla, Huma Qureshi, and Amrita Rao, does the film still capture the charm and social commentary that made the franchise a hit?

🎬 Then we shift focus to The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Starring Bobby Deol, Laksh, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, and Saher Bamba, the show also features a long list of cameos from Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Emraan Hashmi, and many more. We break down the story, performances, Aryan Khan’s vision as a director, and whether this Netflix debut lives up to its massive hype.

Join us as we give our honest take on two very different Bollywood projects — one continuing a beloved courtroom franchise, and the other attempting to redefine Bollywood storytelling for a new generation.

In this episode of The BoM Podcast, we revisit one of Bollywood’s most iconic family dramas, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, alongside our special guest and close friend Raj Dhamal, a fellow cinephile who handpicked this film for our revisit.

We explore what K3G meant to audiences when it released in 2001 — and how its impact differed for NRIs like Aishan, who grew up connecting to Indian culture through films abroad, versus Indians raised in India like Bhumi and Raj, who experienced its melodrama and grandeur first-hand.

From Karan Johar’s lavish sets, unforgettable music, and iconic performances by Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor (as the unforgettable Poo), to the film’s emotional core — “It’s all about loving your parents” — we break down whether the movie still holds up two decades later.

✨ Join us as we debate the legacy of K3G, the memes, the nostalgia, and whether it deserves its cult-classic status in today’s Bollywood landscape.
