In Khandaan’s first episode of 2026, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy are joined by Haroon Rashid (BBC Asian Network) to wrap up Bollywood in 2025 — a year of contradictions, surprise hits, big disappointments, and a lot of shouting online.

From Top 5 films and breakout performances to songs we couldn’t escape, movies we quit halfway, and what Bollywood thinks audiences want next, this is a loose, unfiltered hangout episode. Expect hot takes, disagreement, nostalgia, and the usual Khandaan chaos.
