Mohabbatein | Has It Aged Well? ft. Antariksh Takkar

This week on ‘Has It Aged Well?’ we’re talking about the highest grossing film of the year 2000 - yes, it's the sophomore effort by director Aditya Chopra and widely considered Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘comeback’ film - ’ Mohabbatein’. Joining Abbas and Urjita is fellow IVM Pop podcaster, comedian Antariksh Takkar. Topics discussed include: Similarities between Hogwarts and Gurukul, does this film have any business being 3.5 hours long? Which of the newcomers in the film made an impression? Why could Uday Chopra never be a…thing? Amitabh’s resurgence in the early 2000s, Raj Aryan’s ghost watching skills and much more. So dust off the dried leaves and sit down with your violin to listen to this fun episode.

I don't know about Mohabbatein but Jimmy Shergil surely has aged wellllllll

[@anilatarannum]

Yaaar I love Urjita so much. She always stands up for her views and herself, lekin ekdum sweetly. Without being rude. It's such an important quality to have. Love her!

[@urjitawani.]

:) 💖

[@saketlad]

Actually it's slightly ulta. She interrupted many people many times before in previous episodes and today she was complaining that Antariksh does not listen. I am not saying Antariksh was not wrong, but she's sailing the same boat.

[@JinSakai_Kuroudo]

10/10 only watch this for her. Urjuta is a breath of fresh air to all the annoying women in India. I wish Indian women could be half as awesome as her ! She's pretty, well articulated, funnnnnnny, always on point with her research and views. If she were to make a podcast of only her talking i'd still watch it. Honestly Indian men would be so threatened by an amazing woman like her its sad. She's not annoying and in your face feminist like other comics instead she has well researched comedy with great punchlines

[@Stonytude]

Antariksh just derailed Urjita's story on why Kake and Preeto were a good love story. I really wanted to hear what she had to say. Wish he knew how to exercise restraint and let his fellow speaker actually finish speaking

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Amitabh Bachchan playing a d-bag figure in the 2000s Trilogy: - Mohabbatein - K3G - Baghban

[@abbasmomin]

+ Aankhein.

[@destined1536]

I love how Raj Aryan has two first names that symbolise his individual and rebellious nature and Narayan Shankar has two last names that symbolise Parampara, Pratishtha, Anushasan.

[@divesh613]

Bhailog abhi last month Mohabbatein rerelease hui thi dekhne gaya tha...kya mahol tha ..pura housefull..full on nostalgia

[@randomverse1501]

1:09:18 in this case Madhavan should play her husband so that just like Tanu weds manu he steals Jimmy's lover once again 😂

[@zainubaali6704]

I’m going to miss just a filmy game show. Antariksh is such a great host. IVM will seem lonely without him.

[@aamiransari5995]

Have they discontinued it?

[@floppy_hands1770]

He has been discounted😢​@@aamiransari5995

[@dia606]

Idk what soul Urjita found in this overdramatic movie that takes itself too seriously where everything is so on the nose - the punjabis are too punjabi, the shy girl is extra shy the sporty girl is too sporty, and every song has 3 antaras for 3 love stories so everyone has symmetrical time dancing in color-coordinated clothes

[@anilatarannum]

Hey take it easy. I loved the movie as well and still do! That's the fun in art, everyone has their own take on it. From what I remember the movie was also a super hit so I'm sure quite a few people liked it 😊😊

Abbas Urjita, please bring on women guests. You've not have one since Rohini in Sept 23!

[@rasshmibaagwe]

Call Varun Thakur to discuss some movie. His knowledge of movies is pretty interesting 😇

[@wreckingcru]

The Indian obsession(?) with “precap” - why? Just play the damn show/video.

[@shivijajoo]

Also...movie lambi isliye bhi thi because of songs...but loved those songs a lot and love srk always. And bhot logo ko pasand hai mohabbatein ....

[@holyhudz]

Why is the guest bellowing??

[@jitkr1489]

Abbas bhai you laugh like scooby doo!! cooby dooby dooo

[@shivijajoo]

mohabbatein is love for me....AAA and mohabbatein are different genres and dono acchi hai...

[@DevashishJagirdar]

Has anyone figured out what the weather of this place is? Guys are wearing Sherwanis, Sweaters, Full shirts, Blazers and Jackets and girls are wearing "lesser layers" and "less body coverage as compared to the boys"; The exception being Helen !

[@dia606]

This was supposed to be a launch for 6 newcomers also apparently -definitely Uday Chopra, but only Jimmy Shergill’s career has survived but like barely. Definitely revamped Amitabh Bacchan’s career though

[@sagardalwani4906]

Just stopped watching after they said they dont relate with Jugal and Jimmy's stories in the movies like seriously? They depict the purest form of love especially Jugal who just has a childhood love rather than getting wooed by beauty and stuff I don't think they get the point of this movie except Urjita

[@athirakumar5239]

Can Antariksh just let Urjita speak! 😒 She is too kind to have been so sweet about it, anyone else might have gotten really irked.

[@dipankarjoshi3828]

Urjita love u for standing up to 2 people who don't even understand movies. Inko Rocky rani dikhaao cringe. Mohabattein is classic srk

[@zlatandeol1088]

She is the one we deserve, but not the one we need right now. She's not a silent guardian but a rightful protector

[@Stonytude]

No need to hate on Rocky Rani - that movie will be appreciated a lot more in the years to come. Wait and watch

[@mrinaljain39]

I really feel these movies have cringed very well. I don't have that opinion about ensemble cast movies from the west, Valentines day and the whole bunch has aged so well. I believe Aditya chopra doesnt have good story writers, he is a decent director no doubt. With his father, it would be still relatable because he would actually take real love stories from the world of bollywood and make it into movies. Overrated as a term is simply not my way of judging a person, but this guy is every bit of it.

[@drprathamprakash1408]

I adore this movie!!! Maybe cause I watched it at the age of 13-14... So even after knowing its ridiculousness, I still have beautiful memories of this film❤❤

[@tangerine8912]

Abbas, Urjita - Please do an episode for Welcome to Sajjanpur and Well done Abba!! Awesome movie, but forgotten.

[@dipankarjoshi3828]

Mohobattein is miles better than cringe Rocky rani that antariksh likes

[@Stonytude]

Again, no need to hate on RRKPK just because you like Mohabbatein. You just come across as biased, not an informed appreciator of cinema.

[@siliconsodium3848]

Urjita cute as usual.

[@GaneshJayaramanTheOne]

Why no reference to dead poets society with SRK playing Robin Williams and kids playing the students ( I stand corrected)

[@nickraghuvanshi]

They did mention it.

[@GaneshJayaramanTheOne]

@@nickraghuvanshi yes I commented before they spoke about it .. they did rip off the basic concept

[@anilatarannum]

This movie is pyaaaaar. Ek shabd nahi sunungi iske khilaf

[@rohanbhardwaj9264]

The songs in Mohabbatein are awesome. Pairon mein bandhan hai, hamko hamese churalo and of course aankhein khuli ho ya ho bandh. Literally explaining what it feels like to fall in love. And because there were many love stories in one movie all having good screen space, chances of you relating to one of them strongly was good. The songs has aged the best. Love always wins.

[@naikvinit]

Read a tweet few years ago - 'Looking at the poster of Mohabbatein it is hard to tell what season is going on'. One is wearing sweater, one sherwani, one sleeveless shirt, some mini skirts, a saree :D

[@anshumanbose5744]

How did SRK find out his girlfriend passed away because she took her life since he got expelled by her father without seeing his face?

[@vinaykshinoda]

48:14 yaa I also felt the same at that time

[@naikvinit]

Urjita gave way too much credit to the makers of this film. I lost it at 'the crux of the story is so strong' :D

[@Gully_cric8]

I only like songs of mohabatein not the movie

[@abhishekmandvikar1791]

Hii team, Mission Kashmir would be a great movie to discuss.

[@nickraghuvanshi]

Found this movie really stupid when I first watched it. Though, it looks very good and the music is great. The story, dialogues, characters and acting are horrendous.

[@dipankarjoshi3828]

Hope veer zaara soon

[@dipankarjoshi3828]

Yup priety and Jimmy had the best story ❤

[@chitraagarwal8259]

Mohabbatein was honestly a bad film to start with..i think you should focus on films that are actually good!

[@anshumanbose5744]

Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi could not surpass DDLJ's popularity

[@PoorviMathur22]

This guy is trying too hard to be funny

[@dotpngpic]

20:18 jo jeeta wahi sikander's aamir lies to pooja bedi

[@rohitp8900]

Urjita is always harping on how “women dont have agency” in early 90s films and even otherwise universally acclaimed great films, but when it comes to this manipulative melodramatic film, she overlooks everything conveniently……..she has always been a poor host coming up with contradictory statements or outright dumb stuff coz she doesn’t research enough and is not a true movie buff like many of the guests or even abbas for that matter.

[@Tikkibombom]

Oooh finally *this* movie

[@NileshKumar-nr2vj]

Don't go too much into salute scene Urjita, its directly taken out of Dead Poet's Society... The famous dialogue "Captain O Captain"

[@himanshunakul7917]

Thank you for great podcast , can you please do a show on movie angoor movie would really like to hear your views on it

[@amritananda6804]

A lot of forced humor

[@omkarpujare5660]

I don't know why but this movie reminds me of "Dead Poet's Society".

[@SpT141]

This movie was copy "adaptation" of Dead Poet Society.

[@ruheebal]

For Antariksh’s alternate ending Arjun Rampal would have been great as Preeti’s army man husband.

[@rishabhsunshine]

What’s happening with other shows, POP Wrap and Just a Filmy Game Show? Can we have an update on that?

[@hspraj]

The hosts of those shows have taken a break. Hopefully, they will be back with a few more exciting shows soon!

[@Sofie.d2103]

Mohabbatein and Main hoon na

[@meerajrules27]

I hope people realize it but this channel has merely become a PR of SRK. They constantly hammer us with his films and discussions. Its irritating to even give importance to shit like mohabattein

[@sagardalwani4906]

Srk doesn't need pr and surely not from a channel that has 15k subs 😂 grow up kid

[@dia606]

Slightly apalled that Abbas of all people thinks Harry Potter was inspired by Mohabbatein when he as a 90s kid should know that the books came out long before Mohabbatein and the books already had these details that the movies are based on! Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban were already out by 2000 come on

[@abbasmomin]

No one in Bollywood reads bro.

Arey he's just stating the similarities. It's obviously a joke, kya harry potter Mohabbatein copy kareng3

@@randomverse1501 it's not about age but they do try hard to make AAA cool which it is not and as far as this movie is concern it's quite good from commercial movie point of view

[@randomverse1501]

@@vickytinta I asked because if you have watched it in your childhood nostalgia factor adds in. If you are young and have watched it in last 2-3 yrs only then you won't get the context

[@PrashantUpadhyay01]

@vickytinta .. Agreeing to @randomverse1501 … AAA was like breaking the fourth wall with dialogues with the context like Sholey iske baap ne toh likhi thi, and other so many factors. Not just another comedy movie. I dont see any such thing with Mohabbatein, just another love story. You can’t compare both
