Watch my monthly Letterboxd wrap up video here The Khandaan gang is back with the next entry in our 80s Dhamaka series—and this time, it’s Subhash Ghai’s iconic masala bonanza Ram Lakhan (1989). Picked by our Patreon supporters, this episode dives deep into the unforgettable world of two brothers, high-octane revenge plots, iconic songs, and the kind of full-blown filmi logic that defined a generation. We discuss: Why Ram Lakhan is peak 80s masala cinema The sheer charisma of Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff How this film influenced Bollywood for decades to come The soundtrack’s everlasting legacy—from My Name is Lakhan to Tera Naam Liya Why Amrita thinks it’s basically the Avengers of desi VHS Sujoy’s nostalgia from Chitrahaar to Zee Cinema reruns Asim’s obsession with Debu the American Plus: Havelis, vengeful widows, song interludes every 6 minutes, and the chaotic joy of watching Bollywood do everything at once.
