When a chance to get rich quick comes along, he is the first one to grab it. Abhi, the disrupter of the lot, is a stuntman who believes he’s the ‘real hero’ of every film. Santosh is a former auto driver who wants to make an honest living driving his cab and give his child a better future. Ved is a soft-spoken guy who wants to tell his parents he doesn’t want to get married but can’t bring himself to say no.
The series starts out well, establishing the characters. A dead body, a stolen car, a kidnapping and a lot of cash take them on a ‘bad trip.’ They pick up a fourth person in the shared cab only to land up in a situation beyond their control. While going home from the railway station, he gets into a cab driven by Santosh (Giridhar), with Abhi (Chaitanya Krishna) also coming along for the ride. Ved (Ravi Varma) has come to Hyderabad from Bengaluru. The director has a fun idea that ties the whole story together, but the execution isn’t always smooth. Review: Debutant director Krishkan aka Krishna Kanth Mamidala’s Bad Trip is a mixed bag of a series that is sometimes edgy, sometimes funny and sometimes plain okay. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rich seems to give them more trouble than gain.
Story: Four strangers share the cab on a fateful night that changes their lives.
