  • Like being friends with the cool kids from the 90s

    It’s really fun to relive films from my childhood but with a more adult and fun viewpoint. I wouldn’t have given some of the lesser remembered Khan films had it not been for one of your episodes.

  • Loved the old format

    I discovered this podcast quite recently and have been listening to the old episodes where they discussed movies with the khan…really enjoyed them. The new ones talk about random shows and web series no one else will watch and the discourse around them is boring af. For instance in the last kwk episode discussion, they simply went over the pr stuff/fan war because I guess these three are too old to keep up with the gossips. And if you are watching random stuff like thank you for coming why not w... more

  • May the qualitative proficiency rise!

    I'm Anukriti Pandey from Varanasi,Uttar Pradesh,India and I started listening to the Khandan podcast as a part of recommended material in JioMAMI's Rashid Irani Film Critics Lab 2021.Right from the first few episodes I was engaged to the mesmerising voices of Asim and Sujoy.It was only much later I discovered what they looked like which was surprising for sure.

    All of it is so natural,the atmosphere,the jokes,jibes at each other...

    The reason I've listened to every single minute of this podcast ... more
