Comedian and reality TV star Munawar Faruqui takes a bold leap into the world of acting with his gripping debut in the web series First Copy, now streaming on Amazon MX Player. Set against the gritty backdrop of 1990s Mumbai, the series dives deep into the murky world of video piracy — a booming underground industry that defined an era of bootleg culture.
In First Copy, Munawar plays Arif, a dreamer who gets swept into the dark alleys of piracy, eventually rising to become a local kingpin. With slick dialogues, raw emotion, and an immersive storyline, the series captures the chaos, ambition, and underground dealings of the VHS-CD black market, offering viewers both nostalgia and thrills.
Known for his razor-sharp wit and deeply personal comedy, Munawar brings the same authenticity and intensity to his role in First Copy. His transformation from a stand-up star to a convincing on-screen performer is being lauded by fans and critics alike. It's a gritty, high-stakes performance that proves his range as an artist.
First Copy is not just a crime drama — it's a tribute to a forgotten chapter of Indian street culture, told through the eyes of a young man hungry for success, regardless of the cost.
Streaming now on Amazon MX Player.
