The show focuses on the underground film piracy world in 1990s Bombay. It revolves around a character named Arif, who becomes a key figure in this illicit trade.

While I admire his success, I sometimes feel his comedy has become a bit safe after the mainstream fame. His early YouTube sketches had a sharper edge. Hope he gets back to that raw creativity he mentions.

Bhai, what a rise! Lock Upp to Bigg Boss winner to now. He's everywhere - acting, comedy, hosting, music. It's a bit overwhelming, but you can't deny his talent and connection with the youth. Happy 34!
