In this episode of The BoM Podcast, we revisit one of Bollywood’s most iconic family dramas, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, alongside our special guest and close friend Raj Dhamal, a fellow cinephile who handpicked this film for our revisit.

We explore what K3G meant to audiences when it released in 2001 — and how its impact differed for NRIs like Aishan, who grew up connecting to Indian culture through films abroad, versus Indians raised in India like Bhumi and Raj, who experienced its melodrama and grandeur first-hand.

From Karan Johar’s lavish sets, unforgettable music, and iconic performances by Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor (as the unforgettable Poo), to the film’s emotional core — “It’s all about loving your parents” — we break down whether the movie still holds up two decades later.

✨ Join us as we debate the legacy of K3G, the memes, the nostalgia, and whether it deserves its cult-classic status in today’s Bollywood landscape.
