What happens

Bad Boy Billionaires: India is a 2020 Indian Netflix original documentary anthology television series which focuses on the lives of four prominent business magnates of India, Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Subrata Roy and Ramalinga Raju, who achieved prominent success in their businesses during their lifetime before being accused of corruption. The documentary chronicles major financial scams in India and was released in part, following a lawsuit initiated by Subrata Roy's Sahara Group. Netflix unveiled the official trailer of the film on 24 August 2020 and it was reported that the trailer was removed subsequently from the platform following legal issues. The documentary was initially scheduled to be streamed via Netflix on 2 September 2020. Three (of four) episodes of Bad Boy Billionaires: India released globally on Netflix in October 2020 to enthusiastic reviews and strong viewership. It went on to enjoy a multiple-week run as the number one most-watched Netflix title in India while also nearing the top of Netflix's global charts and being named the most-watched documentary of the year 2020 in India. It won the Filmfare Award, India's top film honour, in 2021. The fourth episode (about Ramalinga Raju) was finally released on 31 December 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
