In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit Yeh Dillagi — the glossy 90s rom-com that gave us Ole Ole, soft-boy Akshay Kumar, and peak “pretty boy” Saif Ali Khan.

From Kajol’s unforgettable makeover arc and the film’s Sabrina roots to wildly outdated rich-people morality, rain-song dream logic, and VHS-era capitalism, the gang dives deep into why this movie still works as a nostalgia machine.

Expect conversations about 90s fashion, Bollywood’s disappearing rom-com energy, questionable drunk acting, random Karisma Kapoor cameos, and why every rich family in Hindi cinema apparently owned plastic lawn chairs.

Plus: the soundtrack absolutely slaps.
