New Delhi [India], October 27 : Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has been full of praise for Aryan Khan's directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, which is currently streaming on Netflix.
The series, produced by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment, has been loved by fans for its sharp take on the film industry.
The Congress MP recently took to his X account to reveal that he watched the show over the weekend while recovering from a cold, after his sister, Smita Tharoor, urged him to take a break and watch the Netflix series. Calling it "absolute OTT gold," Tharoor said it was one of the best things he had treated himself to in a long time.
He wrote, "I've been battling a cold and cough and cancelled engagements for two days. My staff and my sister, @smitatharoor, persuaded me to turn my eyes away from the computer for part of the time and towards a @NetflixIndia series, and it's one of the best things I have ever treated myself to: absolute #OTT GOLD!"
"Just finished watching Aryan Khan's directorial debut, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood", and I'm left grasping for words of praise. It takes time to grow on you, but then you're irresistibly hooked! The writing is sharp, the direction is fearless, and the sheer audacity of this satire is just what Bollywood needed. A genius, often hilarious, sometimes moving, and always unflinching look beyond the glamour, sending up every cinematic cliche with razor-like wit and a series of insider jokes that let the audience into the act & behind the scenes," he added.
Calling Aryan's debut "a masterpiece," Tharoor described the show as "often hilarious, sometimes moving, and always unflinching."
He concluded, "The seven compelling episodes mark the arrival of a true storytelling powerhouse. Take a bow, Aryan Khan, you've delivered a masterpiece: The Ba***ds of Bollywood is brilliant!"
