The Ba***ds of Bollywood takes the audience inside the raw and real world of Bollywood. The story follows the journey of an outsider, Aasmaan Singh, who strikes gold in Bollywood and rises to fame.

The description for the comedy drama states, “In this high-stakes drama, an ambitious outsider and his friends navigate the chaotic, larger-than-life, yet uncertain world of Bollywood.”

In the final scene, Lakshya is shown walking out of prison when a policeman remarks, “Tension nai lene ka, andar jaake log aur bhi famous ho jaate hai” (Do not stress, people become more famous after going to jail).
