The only thing more embarrassing than not watching “The Bads of Bollywood” is watching Bad Bollywood.
Aryan Khan has arrived
He is the son of King Khan.
In The Bads of Bollywood, he detonated a bomb on Netflix, which exposed Bollywood’s dirty laundry in an unexpectedly bold way. It’s a sarcasm-filled sizzler with a meme-worthy take on nepotism, scandals, and narcissism, to name a few.
Blowing the Glitter Away
The show, a brutal meta satire, strips Bollywood of its glory and exposes its treacherous underbelly. Exposing the double-faced nature of the industry, it turns real-life headlines and scandals into a fictional storyline, effortlessly and fearlessly.
Reasons to not miss it:
- Aryan Khan, the debut that would be talked about for ages to come.
At a time when debutantes follow caution, he came in all guns blazing. He roasted everything about Bollywood, from nepotism (the irony) to ego to hypocrisy. - Showcasing Bollywood’s archetypes with actors like Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal, and Mona Singh, it showcases things that the public misses and ignores.
- Nepotism, the term worn with pride by star kids and hated by outsiders, is roasted with the inclusion of a mock discussion between star kids and outsiders inspired the Siddhant Chaturvedi – Ananya Panday incident.
- Taking “inspired by true events” too seriously, reality was fictionalized very accurately. No one, including Shah Rukh Khan, was off-limits. Aryan even took a dig on his own drug-case arrest with a “Say NO To Drugs” card right before “Directed by Aryan Khan.”
- Karan Johar’s “Movie Mafia” cameo, along with those by other big names, were part of the punchline, blurring the lines between fiction and confession.
- Unwrapping Bollywood’s darkest secrets, the series visited some of the most hushed topics, like the underworld connection, the casting couch, and the need to stay relevant.
- Meme-ready and razor-sharp dialogues define the series and expose the hypocrisy of Bollywood. They are funny, quotable, yet painfully true.
- It exposed Bollywood’s cracked mirror in a way no one expected, exposing the stars, the fans, the media, and the gossip culture. It shows how Bollywood went from critical to being compliant.
- Because you are too late to the party. With over a million views already, the show on Netflix is a mine of memes and trending hashtags.
The Bads of Bollywood, or rather the Truth Bomb that exposed Bollywood, was a much-needed series that not only exposed the truth behind the glamour but also the open secrets not spoken about. The series is dark, witty, and emotional all at once, making the viewer wonder if what they perceived about Bollywood was true or not!
