This week, Asim and Sujoy are joined by Razia from Bollywood Classic Collection to unpack Dhurandhar — the hype, the politics, the mismatched marketing, and the unexpectedly incredible wigs and production design. We talk about Ranveer Singh’s performance, Karachi’s portrayal on screen, and why the film feels split between vision and agenda. Expect the usual Khandaan blend of film nerdery, laughs, and cultural context.
