Episode 1 of Meet The Bads introduces Aasman Singh (Lakshya Lalwani), an ambitious outsider who finds some success with his debut film—enough to give him a little spotlight, but also a taste of the glitz and struggle of Bollywood. His attempts to build connections with friends, rivals, and industry insiders lead him to an actor’s roundtable where nepotism, fame, and expectations are clearly visible.
What stands out in this first episode are the dialogues, which, on the one hand, show satire and behind-the-scenes of Bollywood, and on the other, connect with humor. The shading of nepo-babies scenes and Aasman’s “entry” moment set the vibe that the series is going to be both mass and meta.

What Works:
- Concept & Tone: It felt great—a satire of the Bollywood industry, with both glam and grit. Episode 1 clearly established a foundation where there’s tension between personal dreams and industry politics.
- Performances: Lakshya Lalwani and Sahher Bamba both deliver strong performances. The characters are a bit glossy, but believable.
