Mumbai: Aryan Khan’s highly-anticipated directorial debut ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ started streaming on Thursday.
The Netflix show, which is a satire on the film industry, features Lakshya, Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba and Raghav Juyal in lead roles, and has cameos by Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.
Early online reviews suggest that the show is a ‘pompous hit’, and a must watch.
Praising Aryan and his show, a fan stated, “#AryanKhan has a blockbuster with #TheBadsOfBollywood! What a solid directorial debut 😍 Super-funny, super-filmy, and clichéd in the best way. His individualistic voice shines through, plus, it has the BEST CAMEO EVER – “saara akka Bollywood ek taraf aur…”😅👏🏽 A ‘pompous’ hit!,”

Another netizen claimed, “The Bads of Bollywood (Review) A fun show. I feared it might slip into commercial tropes instead of satire but it didn’t. Aryan Khan made a good show. Comedy was the main highlight, laughed this much after a long time watching an Indian film or show.”

One Twitter review read, “#TheBadsOfBollywood – loved it. Very smartly written with so many meta references. It delivers on what it promised in trailer. Great performances by Lakshya, Bobby, Raghav, Sahher, Anya. Cameos actually feels natural for the first time. #AryanKhan as a debutant has done amazing!”

now watching #TheBadsOfBollywoodOnNetflix. The first episode is so good, it went crazy and is such a fun breezy introduction and meta humour is working properly as well. Plus cameos don’t feel forced too. Aryan Khan seem to have cooked. #TheBadsOfBollywood pic.twitter.com/44sO1ZumuV
