Ba***ds Of Bollywood review: Critics call Aryan Khan`s show binge-worthy
The much anticipated The Ba***ds of Bollywood will be out on Netflix today, and the internet is going berserk. Aryan Khan`s directorial debut has been garnering eyeballs not for its cast, but for the director, who looks promising.
While there are still a few hours to go for the show to release, a few industry folks were lucky to have an early glimpse of the first episode of The Ba***ds of Bollywood on Wednesday night.
It was Aryan Khan`s dad, Shah Rukh Khan, who organised a special screening for his close friends, colleagues, and peers, including some movie critics. With all of them praising the star kid`s directorial skills, some called the show "entertaining and spoofy".
