For October, Ankita and Azhar delve deep into the phenomenon, the legend, and the alleged last star of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan, also known as SRK. Why not a film? Because both have discussed their fascination and critique of the megastar on and off. This is a labor of love and a gaze back from SRK's two ardent fans. 

What makes SRK great?

Why does SRK still rule?

How has the far-right attack on the star affected SRK's fandom?

Do artists have a social responsibility? 

The hosts unpack, celebrate, criticize SRK, and, in extension, a film industry that seems to be losing its foundational ethos of socialist, revolutionary filmmaking. As always, please subscribe to the podcast, and don't forget to leave us a review! 

We will be taking a break until the end of this year! From January 2026, we will bring you seasons dedicated to a particular theme, along with some brilliant guests!
