Episode 15: Friendships through film — Dil Kya Chahta Hai?

In this episode, we talk about all things friendship in Bollywood. In light of Farhan Akhtar announcement of #JeeLeZara ft. Priyanka Chopra Jones, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, we take a walk down memory lane and revisit Akhtar’s directorial debut ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and examine why it’s become the millennial gold standard for friendship. We also talk about a few other films that tried to recreate the magic of DCH and fell short. Lastly, we talk about our hopes and dreams for #JeeLeZara and what we really want for these 3 women in the film. Bonus: Find out who says ‘Hum Cake Khane Ke Life Kuch Bhi Kar Sakte Hain’ too often. Hint: It’s a dad joke.   Links: NPR: The Future Is Uncertain For Women In Afghanistan Under Taliban Rule Firstpost: Akshaye Khanna's character Siddharth Sinha grounded Farhan Akhtar's coming-of-age film
