The web series "The Bads of Bollywood," directed by Aryan Khan, has received mixed reviews. It is described as a glossy, entertaining show with star- studded cameos, dark humor, and Bollywood insider jokes that some viewers find engaging and addictive. The show's sharp one-liners, meta Bollywood satire, and celebrity appearances, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Karan Johar, add to its appeal. However, critics point out several flaws: the narrative often feels uneven and tonally inconsistent, fluctuating between satire and melodrama without finding a strong cohesive voice. Some storylines come across as contrived or dull, and the show sometimes leans too heavily on clichés and overused film tropes, lacking the sharpness and edge expected from a biting industry takedown. The use of heavy bad language has also been noted as excessive by some reviewers. Despite these issues, Aryan Khan's direction shows promise, and there is popular demand for a second season. In summary, "The Bads of Bollywood" is entertaining and fun for viewers interested in Bollywood gossip and meta-commentary, but it may disappoint those seeking polished storytelling or groundbreaking execution.
