Episodes

▶1. The Bet24m · In the series premiere, the high-stakes world of Bollywood meets a cynical challenge when two influential directors—one a blockbuster hit-maker and the other a National Award winner—place a career-ending bet during a televised dinner. Akshay, the commercial giant, claims he can turn anyone into a superstar regardless of talent, leading to a chaotic scouting mission through the streets of Versova. As they round up six unsuspecting aspiring actors, the episode offers a satirical and raw look at the audition process, the desperation of background artists, and the absurd reality of the "overnight success" myth.▶2. Industry23m · The chaos intensifies as the "documentary" crew digs deeper into the egos and eccentricities of the Mumbai film industry. While the six aspiring actors navigate their strange new reality, they are thrust into the bizarre world of industry veteran Bulbul Mishra and his "Bulbul Academy," where acting exercises involve everything from rolling in the dirt to "tasting the stage." Meanwhile, tensions flare between the filming crew and a stressed-out assistant director who is desperately trying to manage a temperamental star on a commercial set. As the line between fiction and reality blurs, the episode explores the power dynamics, superstitions, and sheer madness that define the daily hustle of show business.▶3. Auditions24m · The grueling reality of the acting world takes center stage as the aspirants face the "10,000 auditions" hurdle. While industry kids breeze through over coffee, the general category actors fight for a single glance from high-profile casting directors Shubham and Trishaan. This episode exposes the raw underbelly of the casting process—from blatant body shaming and "vegetable market" comparisons to the intense competition of musical auditions. As the aspirants navigate the fine line between talent and "packaging," they learn that surviving the industry requires more than just a good performance; it requires a thick skin and the ability to endure endless waiting.▶4. Partners23m · Finding a life partner is just like casting a movie—some are blockbusters, and some are absolute flops. In this episode, the documentary crew captures the chaotic reality of modern relationships. Lachhu navigates her romance with a pretentious director who refuses to put her in his films; a paranoid boyfriend’s "underworld don" persona is hilariously shattered when his true, mundane identity is caught on camera; and an arranged date goes terribly wrong when a prospective groom won't stop sharing morbidly depressing stories.▶5. Lifestyle27m · This episode of FLOP functions as a satirical and grounded look into the daily lives, struggles, and hypocrisies of aspiring actors, influencers, and artists trying to make it big in Mumbai. Rather than following a single linear plot, the episode presents a series of interconnected vignettes showcasing the stark contrast between the glamorous "reel life" on the internet and the harsh "real life" struggles off-camera.
