In this episode, we talk about all things friendship in Bollywood. In light of Farhan Akhtar announcement of #JeeLeZara ft. Priyanka Chopra Jones, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, we take a walk down memory lane and revisit Akhtar’s directorial debut ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and examine why it’s become the millennial gold standard for friendship. We also talk about a few other films that tried to recreate the magic of DCH and fell short. Lastly, we talk about our hopes and dreams for #JeeLeZara and what we really want for these 3 women in the film.
Bonus: Find out who says ‘Hum Cake Khane Ke Life Kuch Bhi Kar Sakte Hain’ too often. Hint: It’s a dad joke.
