Raju Bangaya 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!

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! The complicated subject of Immigrant survivor’s guilt!

We had an absolute bitch fest this week with our pals Lamees and Arslan from the hilarious podcast, Bitch.aray (@bitch.aray). We talked about infidelity, the Indian Army, Noor's perplexing lust for Kabir Bedi, Lamees' inspo to be a hot chemistry teacher like Sushmita, Arslan telling us how dumb America looks after the attempted coup, Raheel's M. Night Shyamalan level reveal at the end of the recap. Listen in!

Did you know that Noah Baumbach's 2019 film Marriage Story was inspired by a 2003 Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji film? Of course not! Because that's not true! ANYWAY, This movie is not that Marriage Story but it is A marriage story so we brought on some husbands and wives to talk about this underrated romantic dramedy and answer burning questions like "why do husbands never put their socks in the hamper?" 

In 2004, a sneaky producer released a 1994 SRK / Raveena movie called "Yeh Lamhe Judaai ke" that was so bad that neither actors have ever spoken of it! In fact, they don't even actually speak in the movie (there's a bonkers dubbing situation). ANYWAY, we used these precious lamhe to re-introduce ourselves to you fine humans!

SRK's 5 min monologue with a ceramic horse! Madhuri is a powerhouse!  Why is Salman Khan a thing? An inexplicably blind Aishwariya Rai!

On this week's special two part episode, we talk about Karan Johar's iconic 2001's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, an all out assault on all 5 senses if you include sense of decency in the creepy relationship between potential fathers and daughters in law.

Special guest, friend of the pod and in-house counsel, Aroosa Nizami weighs in on the movie and lusts over Hritik Roshan.

Right in time for sweater weather, we recap the coziest SRK movie to date. 

***This episode was recorded in February 2020***

In the year 2000, SRK and Aishwarya Rai played twins in a movie that is a horrible remake of West Side Story. 

***This episode was recorded in January 2020***

In the year 2000, SRK and Juhi Chawla paired up to make a woke AF romantic dramedy about the fake news media, dirty politicians, and also Johnny Lever was in it with some high key racist yellowface, but yo...the songs are poppin.

Anyway, we dusted off the old microphones to recap this movie and talk about other important stuff like Why is Priyanka Chopra the worst? Will Nihari get us ripped like Kumail? Can Thanos get it? Remember when India and Pakistan almost went to war?! We have so much to catch up on! Tune in!

We're back! We picked SRK's latest movie Zero as that is how one would rate the year 2020.
