New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor shared his recent review of Aryan Khan’s show The Ba**ds of Bollywood on his social media handle. He managed to see it and gave it great appreciation.
Tharoor called Aryan Khan’s show ‘Absolute OTT Gold’ He wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I’m battling cold and cough and have canceled schedules for two days. My staff and my sister, @smitataroor, convinced me to take some time off the computer and go watch a @NetflixIndia series, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself: absolute #OTT gold!
Just watched Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, “The B**ds of Bollywood”, and I’m looking forward to words of praise. It takes time for you to develop, but then you become irresistibly addicted to it! The writing is sharp, the direction is fearless and the sheer audacity of this satire is just what Bollywood needed. A brilliant, often hilarious, sometimes moving, and always unflinching look beyond the glamour, he tackles every cinematic cliché with a razor-like wit – and a series of inside jokes that let the audience in on the acting and behind the scenes.
