Raju Ban Gaya Podcast

Well RBP fans here we are officially in year 9 of this silly experiment/exercise/curse that won't be lifted until we finish every dumb SRK film.  And boy it does not get dumber than this.  So appropriately for this time of year, please join us in our discussion of Happy New Year, a terrible movie experience all the way around.  Come for the (drawn on?) 8 pack, stay for the unnecessary anti-Asian racism! 

Shah Rukh Khan made a movie about a silly North Indian getting lost in translation in South India with a beautiful South Indian played by Deepika Padukone. To discuss all the silly North Indian South Indian hijinks we had a North Indian South Indian dynamic bestie duo Shloka and Heta (aka Guddi) join us! 

Amnesia in retrograde and Shah Rukh Khan cannot stop getting hit by vehicles! Sumit Bagchi came on the pod to tell us if he would lock lips with SRK and answer other very important and unrelated questions about this silly movie. 

ROBOTS! Amiright!?! Anyway - Shah Rukh Khan made another movie that almost made us burn down the entire podcast but just like G-ONE, we rose from the ashes in bad cgi and too much make up to put this dog and pony show together. ENJOY! 

Friend of the pod, Sumit Bagchi, is back to talk about Shah Rukh Khan's action packed heist film Don 2. We're also sharing our favorite SRK moments and tears were shed! 

In 2010, Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar really thought they did something with possibly one of the most offensive movies we have ever watched on the podcast. Friend of and relative of the podcast, Iman Jafri guest hosted with us to try to make some sense of this hunk of garbage. 

In 2008 Shah Rukh Khan played a nice uncle probably around his actual age in an arranged marriage just kidding he also pretended to be a razzle dazzle cool guy creep-o to gaslight and catfish his wife. 

A wise man once said that "Om Shanti Om" is a love letter to Bollywood and that wise person happens to be Fahad Masood who is mocking Farah Khan who actually was the wise woman who said this or maybe it was a film reviewer. Who knows! What we do know is that this movie is fantastic! 

HEY! We are kinda back! We decided to dust off the old mics to talk about the latest happenings in Shah Rukh Khan world like his lil boy getting caught up with the wrong crowd, allegedly, but also its a ploy against SRK because he's Muslim, allegedly, but also, how about that cricket? Some of us are really into that, allegedly. And you know what bothers us? Still Priyanka Chopra. Anyway, it's nonsense as usual! Enjoy!

Ramadan Mubarak everyone! We are taking a break from our usual SRK content to just chat about Ramadan and our thoughts about SRK in general after 57 episodes of crappin' on ol' dude. We will be taking a break for Ramadan and will be back in June with Om Shanti Om!

We are smashing the patriarchy one training montage at a time as we talk about SRK's best (and only) sports movie to date, with our pal Nada Haq-Siddiqi. We also dive deep into our fav sports movies and clapping at movies! Enjoy!

This week friend of the podcast, Sumit Bagchi, joins us to discuss SRK's 2006 remake of Don.  Listen in as we compare SRK's Don wifall in love with someone th Amitabh's original, look at the differences between the two versions, and ask the important question "Could you who looks like your siblings killer"?

This week we talk about 2006's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, a despicable movie, with Misbah Dalvi who was on set.  Listen as Misbah tries to justify this crime against humanity, gives us behind the scenes scoops and reveals the best possible way to approach SRK in person.

SRK once played a ghost who stole a man's identity, got his wife pregnant, and then killed him. It's a romance movie! Listen in and tell us if you think having sex with a spirit is grounds for divorce!

Whether it's New Coke or pre-ordering "Unfinished" by Priyanka Chopra, part of being human is making mistakes. Dear listener we have made our fair share of them as well. We had the wonderful Isha B of @che_studios on a special episode as we rectify our must egregious one. Aakhir bade bade deshon mein...well you know the rest.

After taking last week off to celebrate our favorite President (Gulshan Grover Cleveland), we're back this week to discuss Swades! NASA! Water! Project Managing!

In Part 2 of our Veer-Zaara chat with the Maazes from Desi Standard Time, Noor and Maaz Khan find common ground lusting after Aishwarya in Ishq Kameena, a song that is not in Veer-Zaara, and Raheel tells us what songs he'd like played during his wed--I mean, Funeral. We also rate the movie and Shah Rukh's performance over lots of giggles.

In 2004, SRK made a movie so long and so epic that we had to spend two whole episodes talking about it with the Maazes from Desi Standard Time. Here's part 1! Desi Standard Time - Podcast // @desistandard on Instagram 

We are taking a break from SRK's filmography to discuss his appearance on the finale episode of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. His best performance to date.  Check out The Reality Is (Instagram / Twitter) everywhere podcasts are heard!
