The January 2023 Roundup
Pathaan madness lies this way
State of the Khandaan
Welcome to a brand new year, lovelies! In 2022, we launched our Patreon channel and we’re still finding our way through it but you guys made it a wild success for which we’re really grateful. We often joke about how we expected the subscriber list to be “Our Moms” but a whole bunch of you showed up, people we hadn’t met before on social or anywhere, and all of you had a story about inviting Khandaan into your lives. It’s been wonderful.
So here we are launching 2023 with our newsletter. It’s one of those things we meant to do but never quite got around to it for various reasons. It’s a completely different channel from our Patreon. We know that not everyone can or wants to contribute financially but we still value our listeners who got us here and with the way social media is going, some of you are bound to slip through the cracks. This way, you’ll find us in your inboxes once a month and you can catch up on everything.
Starting with our give aways for January 2023:
Give Away
In January, we have two copies of the BluRay for BONES AND ALL, the new Luca Guadagnino (CALL ME BY YOUR NAME) film starring Timothee Chalamet (DUNE). For a chance to win, all you need to do is subscribe to this newsletter. We will hold a lucky dip on Patreon in February for our two winners. We ship internationally so this is open for all.
Keep your eyes peeled for other give aways / discounted merch / other stuff.

Community
We’ve been doing Khandaan Meet-ups in London but many of you have written in and asked for local meet-ups, so feel free to arrange them in the comments. Our next big London meet-up will be at the end of April - Asim, Sujoy and Amrita will be present. We’re finalising the dates right now and will be announcing it in March, so keep your ears open.
