Is this peak masala madness or a nostalgia trip gone wrong? In this episode, Asim passionately defends his childhood favorite while Amrita and Sujoy wrestle with the film’s dated humor, dizzying plot logic, and eyebrow-raising romance arcs. We discuss: The comedy Amitabh debate — genius or grating? The legacy of Kader Khan’s unforgettable one-liners Bappi Lahiri’s absolute banger of a soundtrack (Pag Ghungroo, Raat Baaki, Jawaani Jaaneman) Smita Patil's rain-soaked dance number and the discomfort behind the scenes The villain lair logistics (seriously, where do you even buy a villain lair?) Dadu-related emotional trauma and masala film magic Disco suits, absurd aliases, and Shashi Kapoor’s unexpectedly spicy side Next episode of the 80's Dhamaka will be Ram Lakhan (Dhina Dhin Da!) 💖 Join Our Patreon & Get Exclusive Perks! 💖 Love Bollywood?
