Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we’re taking a pause to appreciate the scenery. Just kidding — there are no new releases so we’re catching up on the restored version of MANTHAN (1976) as well as the new animated BAAHUBALI companion piece. Asim also watched PARVARISH (1977) and we discuss the fan reaction to our AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY episode.
