Show notes:
- Thank you Señorita for the review!
- Previously on Bollywood Family History Story Time: our episodes on The Romantics, and Angry Young Men
- Three generations, four guys: Roshan, Rajesh Roshan, Rakesh Roshan, and Hrithik Roshan
- As non-Hindi speakers who didn't grow up with these songs, it can be a little tough for us to understand the significance of music, especially outside of the movies
- Pop vs. classical music
- People they should have interviewed: Rekha, Salman Khan, Jadoo
- Plagiarism allegations for Rajesh
- Extortion in late '90s-early 2000s Hindi film
- Our episode on Koi... Mil Gaya: Dancing on Hoodoos: Bollywood in Alberta
- Our episode on the Krrish films: A Little Bit of That Jadoo Magic: Krrish with Brandon Schatz
- Why didn't they talk about Kites (apart from the obvious reasons)
INTERVAL: ("Ek Pal Ka Jeena", from Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai)
- Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai
- Being replaced by a better, richer version of yourself, this is basically The Substance
- The double role gimmick works better when there's reincarnation or direct family ties
- We want more Ameesha Patel movie recs
