Episode Description

In this episode, Asim drags Amrita and Sujoy into the chaotic world of Veergati — Salman Khan’s wild, homoerotic, action-packed fever dream from 1995. Expect nostalgia, moral debates, and plenty of laughter as the Khandaan gang wrestles with everything from leather-plaid trousers to the film’s endless social ills. They also unpack what Veergatireveals about 90s masculinity, why today’s stars can’t build loyal audiences like Salman once did, and how this “B-movie” still captures a lost Bollywood energy.
