But did it manage to impress netizens? Well, first day reviews suggest that Aryan’s debut is a ‘pompous hit’, a must watch, where comedy takes center stage. The entire team has done phenomenal work whereas the cameos fit in perfectly. But special mention goes to Raghav and his chemistry with Emraan Hashmi.
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

Lauding Aryan Khan 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!,” whereas 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.”
