  Actor and writer Gopal Datt joins Cine5 for a celebration of memorable firsts. The conversation begins with Gopal’s own new beginning hosting his first-ever podcast, Pehla Pehla With Gopal Datt before turning into a freewheeling countdown of unforgettable acting debuts and Bollywood launches. The gang revisits the frenzy around Hrithik Roshan in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, Amjad Khan’s Gabbar in Sholay, Ranveer Singh in Band Baaja Baaraat, Deepika Padukone in Om Shanti Om, Vidya Balan in Parineeta, Preity Zinta in Dil Se.., Vivek Oberoi in Company and more.

  Kaksha Gyaarvhi, First ever Open Mic, lessons from Music | Zakir Khan | Pehla Pehla with Gopal Datt EP 1

  Aug 4, 202649 minS1

  Zakir Khan’s story is one that we all know - from Indore to Madison Square Garden, it’s an aspirational journey that many look up to. But with Pehla Pehla we dive deeper into things that lie underneath the achievements - a myriad of firsts that go beyond that  In this episode Zakir talks about his connection to his childhood home, his relationship with music and what it was like growing up surrounded by it, the first brushes with comedy and failure, the low points that informed the successes, his evolution as a comedian. We even get to delve into the AIB connection he had with Gopal Datt and the unique equation that they share - having been good friends and constant collaborators on lauded projects.  Zakir’s penchant for storytelling isn’t limited to the stage as he captures our attention with his trademark humour and knack for painting a picture - all the while dropping little nuggets of wisdom. With Pehla Pehla we get to dive into these talented brilliant people and the firsts in their journey so far - and starting the show with Zakir a pioneer of firsts, felt like the best way to kick things off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Top 5 Misunderstood Bollywood Villains | Fida, Hera Pheri & Baghban | Cine5

  Jul 29, 20261h 11mS1

  Were Bollywood’s villains actually wrong or were we simply watching the story from the hero’s perspective? In Episode 14 of Cine5 , Karan Mirchandani and Shreemi Verma defend some of Hindi cinema’s most misunderstood characters. They revisit Fida , Kaun? , Baghban , Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara , Hera Pheri , Yaadein , 8 x 10 Tasveer , Biwi No. 1 and Jaani Dushman to ask who the real villains were. Along the way, they unpack stalking disguised as romance, parental guilt, relationship gaslighting, suspicious fisheries, abandoned twins and why Sushmita Sen deserved far better. A spoiler-heavy, deeply unserious examination of Bollywood morality, featuring strong opinions, chaotic theories and several fictional crimes that the hosts do not legally endorse.

  Top 5 Overrated Bollywood Classics | Karan Mirchandani & Shreemi Verma | Cine5

  Jul 16, 20261h 7mS1

  Some Bollywood classics are sacred. This episode is not. Karan Mirchandani & Shreemi Verma put nostalgia on trial and ask the question nobody wants in the family group chat: are these movies genuinely timeless or have TV reruns, memes and childhood memories done the heavy lifting? From Three Idiots, Welcome and Andaz Apna Apna to 12th Fail, Sanju, Bajirao Mastani, Maine Pyar Kiya, Trishul and Animal, the panel debates what still works, what aged badly and which films accidentally inspired years of weaker copies. Expect spicy takes on Rajkumar Hirani’s emotional formula, Welcome’s meme-powered legacy, exam-struggle cinema, Sanju’s biopic whitewashing, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s visual grandeur, Sooraj Barjatya’s wedding universe and Animal’s influence on modern Bollywood. Now it’s your turn: comment one movie you would defend with your life and one “classic” you think is fully mid. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
