Shah Rukhnomics: The Man, The Legend, The Star!

For October, Ankita and Azhar delve deep into the phenomenon, the legend, and the alleged last star of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan, also known as SRK. Why not a film? Because both have discussed their fascination and critique of the megastar on and off. This is a labor of love and a gaze back from SRK's two ardent fans.  What makes SRK great? Why does SRK still rule? How has the far-right attack on the star affected SRK's fandom? Do artists have a social responsibility?  The hosts unpack, celebrate, criticize SRK, and, in extension, a film industry that seems to be losing its foundational ethos of socialist, revolutionary filmmaking. As always, please subscribe to the podcast, and don't forget to leave us a review!  We will be taking a break until the end of this year! From January 2026, we will bring you seasons dedicated to a particular theme, along with some brilliant guests!   Reading recommendations: When the Hindu Right Came for Bollywood Image credit: Creative Commons
