Prominent Pakistani actor Alyy Khan, who is best known for his role in Don 2 alongside Shah Rukh Khan, recently shared his thoughts on Aryan Khan's directorial debut series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The series, which premiered on Netflix earlier this year, has received criticism from Alyy for its inappropriate use of language, making it unsuitable for family viewing. He also questioned the justification for the excessive use of abusive language in the show.
During an interview on the ARY Podcast, Alyy expressed his discomfort after watching Aryan's work. He stated that the series cannot be watched with family due to its inappropriate language. He also questioned the need for such language and whether people in the industry truly speak this way. "The level of language used...do people really talk like this on the streets?" he added.
Alyy further elaborated that if the use of abusive language is necessary, it should be treated like a close-up shot, used only when required and to create a real impact. He also shared that the excessive use of abusive language in every sentence makes it cringe-worthy and boring for the audience.
In an emotional Instagram post, singer Divya Kumar, who was initially offered a role in The Ba***ds of Bollywood, revealed that he was replaced by Diljit Dosanjh after Aryan Khan's company offered him an insane amount of money. This sparked further criticism from Alyy, who stated that the show had an impressive star cast but lacked substance, with an excessive use of abusive language being its main flaw.
The Ba***ds of Bollywood featured an ensemble cast including Lakshya, Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Rajat Bedi, Meherzan Mazda, Divik Sharma, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Vijayant Kohli, Neville Bharucha, Rohit Gill, and Armaan Khera. The series also had special appearances by top Bollywood stars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, SS Rajamouli, Shanaya Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Maheep Kapoor, Ibrahim Ali Khan, Sara Ali Khan, Orry, Disha Patani, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Arjun Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, Badshah, Seema Sajdeh, Shalini Passi, Rajkummar Rao, and many others.
The show captured the glitz and glamour of the vibrant film industry, along with the struggles and sacrifices one has to make to chase their dreams. Despite its star-studded cast and grandeur, the excessive use of abusive language took away from the essence of the story, according to Alyy. Overall, he believes that the show lacked a meaningful message and failed to make a real impact on the audience.
