Friendship, dreams and reality collide in new Amazon MX Player drama Lafangey
Set in a lower-middle-class colony in Noida, Lafangey follows the lives of three childhood friends — Chaitanya, Rohan and Kamlesh — as they confront the challenges of adulthood. From uncertain careers and unspoken dreams to family expectations and emotional crossroads, the show paints a heartfelt and unvarnished picture of young adulthood in today's India.
Here are five reasons why Lafangey might just be your next binge-worthy watch:
A world rarely shown on screenForget glamour and high-rises — Lafangey is rooted in the streets where dreams are hard-won and every setback feels personal. The show offers a refreshingly grounded view of everyday life for India's youth navigating ambition, struggle and compromise in the cramped corners of their world.
Friendship that grows and achesThe bond between the trio is far from perfect, and that's exactly what makes it real. As their paths diverge, moments of resentment, loyalty, envy and deep affection all come into play. It's a portrayal that will strike a chord with anyone who's had a friendship tested by life's demands.
Characters who feel like people you knowThese are not cinematic heroes — they're everyday young adults with messy emotions, conflicting dreams and personal battles. Chaitanya grapples with moral dilemmas, Rohan is torn between love and identity, while Kamlesh hides his fear behind wit and bravado. Their stories resonate because they feel honest and lived-in.
Performances that connectWith Anud Singh Dhaka, Gagan Arora and Harsh Beniwal in the lead roles, supported by Barkha Singh and Saloni Gaur, the cast brings a raw and natural energy to the screen. Their chemistry and delivery make the narrative believable — at times, uncomfortably so.
No paywalls, no catchesAvailable to stream for free on Amazon MX Player, Lafangey can be watched anytime via the Amazon Shopping App, Fire TV, Prime Video or on connected TVs. Whether you're watching during your commute or winding down at home, it's easily accessible and totally bingeable.
This coming-of-age story is as much about finding yourself as it is about holding on to the people who've known you the longest. With no shortcuts and no easy endings, Lafangey – Sapne, Dosti, Duniya captures the bittersweet experience of growing up when the world doesn't go to plan.
Lafangey is now streaming exclusively on Amazon MX Player.

Malaika Arora says trolls calling her ‘buddhi' triggers her, reveals son Arhaan Khan's reaction: ‘Bahut insensitive hai'
Malaika Arora has heard it all, from being called 'buddhi' to being mocked for her bold fashion choices, but she isn't letting ageist trolls dim her sparkle. In a candid chat with Pinkvilla, she opened up about how she handles such comments, why they can still trigger her at times, and the advice her son Arhaan Khan gives her when she's at the receiving end of online hate. Malaika Arora reveals how son Arhaan Khan supports her when she gets trolled. Malaika Arora on being age-shamed Talking about age-shaming trolls, Malaika said, "For me, 'buddhiya'. I mean how can you even say something like that to somebody. Kabhi kabhi ye trigger karta hai (Sometimes, it triggers me) because bahaut hi insensitive hai (it's extremely insensitive). Because they see only that (brave) persona. They'll see 'khush lag rahi hai' (she looks happy) but they don't realise that there are so many things that can actually trigger you, upset you." Malaika explained that she believes such situations should be taken as examples to respond positively, encouraging one to say, "People, go ahead and say what you want; I will be better than that." She added that she would prove she could be better and could probably do anything and everything under the sun. Malaika Arora reveals Arhaan Khan's reaction to her getting trolled She also revealed her son Arhaan Khan's reaction to her getting trolled and said, "One of my biggest supporters is my son. He's always like 'what's the big deal mom, if somebody's saying that it's fine. Why are you letting it affect you or upset you?' Uske baad mere khud ke dimaag me jo mechanism hai (After that, the mechanism in my own mind) to deal with situations kicks in and then 'let's move forward, put this behind me'." Malaika has long been at the receiving end of toxic online trolling, with comments about her 'duck walk', sheer outfits, and bold fashion choices, often labelled as 'age-inappropriate'. She has also been called 'aunty', with trolls taking jibes at her relationship with ex-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor. Malaika recently appeared as a judge on the second season of the dance reality show Hip Hop India, alongside Remo D'Souza. Streaming on Amazon MX Player, the season wrapped up in June this year with Shubhankar emerging as the winner.

Barkha Singh Opens Up On Being Replaced: ‘I Can't Play The Controversy Game'
Barkha Singh said that she has been lucky to set foot in the OTT space but noted that there were various factors that determined if one would have the project or not. Barkha Singh has had a busy professional year, with two web series released in recent months: Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, starring Pankaj Tripathi, and Lafangey. She has carved out a niche for herself in the digital arena and is making excellent progress in the film industry. She has always been outspoken and in a recent interview, Barkha shared how she was replaced by someone with a lot of media attention and PR. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Barkha said that she has been lucky to set foot in the OTT space but notes that there are various factors that determine if one has the project or not. Recalling one incident, Barkha said, 'I was selected for a role, my fittings were done, but then at the last minute, I was replaced by someone who was just very topical because of their media and PR spottings. They got into some controversy and they replaced me only because the platforms felt that that person would get them more eyeballs. Such things give you anxiety. As actors, we only have our skill to fall back on, but in today's time, you have to play the game. I can't play the controversy game, but those who do, they get so many offers." Barkha Singh On Joined Criminal Justice Barkha Singh was last seen in the fourth season of the acclaimed crime thriller series Criminal Justice. The actress admitted that she was scared of joining the show mid way. 'There was a fear if people would accept me, but more than that, it was also a change of category for me as until now, the audience has seen me in a lot of sweet girl-next-door roles, but here it was a no makeup, no glam serious role of a lawyer, so it was a double gamble for me," Barkha said. Barkha Singh Was Once Stereotyped By Casting Directors Moreover, Barkha claimed that for a long time she was confined to a glamorous role as casting director thought she would not be fit otherwise. She noted that being cast in other roles was out of the question, she even struggled to get auditions. But thankfully, she got a good response for Criminal Justice and later, the same casting people have called her to say how different she looked.
