The one episode that has piqued up the interest of fans is the one based on Subrata Roy. Here's what people have to say about it.
Meanwhile, Sahara Group reached out to us to state that, "Netflix series featuring an episode on Sahara contains various incorrect and misleading facts, which depict only one sided allegations of the story and deliberately omits and ignores the factual truth. Such incorrect and misleading facts have been expressed and depicted through the interviews of some disgruntled individuals, who were at some part of time, related to Sahara Group or were maintaining some personal grudges against Sahara."

Anyone else furious?
So Subrata Roy tried to hide his crimes under the garb of nationalism and patriotism? I wonder who else does that...

Watched Bad Boy Billionaires. Nothing new to see in the Vijay Mallya & Nirav Modi stories. Found the episode on Subrata Roy fascinating. Sahara Pranaam. pic.twitter.com/ZF8jnkBbPE

Loll this Sahara executive in 'Bad Boy Billionaires' has such mad Dwight Schrute energy. He's such a simp for "Saharashri" Subrata Roy, I'm sure he would've killed some babies if he was asked. pic.twitter.com/s1fwJ9pqsN

After watching #BadBoyBillionaires I am truly impressed by Subrata Roy's modus operandi. That guy had a vision like no other. 20,000 crore of public money. Amazing. Sahara Pranaam sir.

Among the three episodes, the one which hurt me the most was definitely Sahara's story.

Vijay Mallya & Nirav Modi defrauded public money through nationalized banks

Chalo, wrapped up Bad Boy Billionaires. Yes, even the Sahara episode had the same "Oh he was flamboyant" nonsense, but of the 3 episodes, it was the strongest.

Also, serves as a nice reminder of the gap between the so called middle class and the actual middle class here.

Another still not featured here, I am told, has made his company structure so smartly that investigation agencies are at their wit's send. Won't be difficult to guess who. https://t.co/ihq6eRm57F
It wasn¡¯t the usual documentary #BadBoyBillionaires ¨C But, I missed some facts about Sahara¡¯s effort to pay back the debt to SEBI. It actually did well on its part #HalfTruth

Earlier, Ramalinga Raju alleged that the so-called investigative Docu-series will infringe his rights of fair trial and privacy besides defaming and tarnishing his image across nations. The petitioner requested the court to declare the proposed move to release the docu-series and action in releasing its trailer as amounting to defamation and conducting of media trial pending the adjudication of case against him in the competent Courts of Law.
Following this, a local civil court had issued an interim stay restraining Netflix from airing that particular episode.
