"Adla Badli" is a Hindi-language web series released in 2023 under the Besharams Originals banner. The term "Besharams" (शमर्लेस्स - Shameless) is a known label for streaming content that pushes the boundaries of conventional storytelling, focusing on urban relationships, infidelity, partner swapping, and erotic thrillers.
The premise of Adla Badli revolves around the concept of exchange—specifically, swapping partners or life situations. Unlike typical romantic dramas, this series is aimed at an adult audience (18+) and explores the complexities of modern marriages, trust, betrayal, and sexual liberation.
The first episode introduces the lead characters—typically two married couples living in a metropolitan city. The story begins with mundane married life, highlighting the lack of excitement, communication gaps, and unfulfilled desires. A chance meeting or a late-night party sets the stage. The male lead may propose an "adla badli" (swap) as a solution to reignite passion. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the couples at a moral crossroads.

By Episode 3, the house of cards is shaking. Lokesh’s wife discovers a women’s lipstick in Vikram’s bag. Vikram’s second girlfriend gets a job at Lokesh’s studio. And the grandfather decides to rewrite his will—leaving everything to “Vikram (the fake son)”.
What works:
What doesn’t:
The pacing sags a bit in the middle of Episode 3. Some jokes repeat (yes, we get it—Vikram is a flirt). Also, Suman’s character is still underused. Give her more than just suspicious glares!
Episode 2 dives into the psychological turmoil. The wives react differently—one is curious, the other is offended. The husbands deal with jealousy before the act even happens. This episode typically uses flashbacks or intimate conversations to establish the "rules" of their exchange. Expect bold dialogues, partial nudity (common in Besharams Originals), and a slow-burn build-up. By the end, the couples agree to a "trial night." "Adla Badli" is a Hindi-language web series released
The premiere wastes no time. We meet Lokesh (Mohit Raina)—a frustrated, middle-class photographer who is terrified of his dominating wife, Suman. Meanwhile, Vikram (Sushant Digvikram Singh) is the town’s casanova, juggling three girlfriends and zero responsibility.
The twist? Lokesh’s 100-year-old grandfather, Chacha ji, is on his deathbed. His last wish? To see Lokesh’s “son”—except Lokesh has no son. Enter the Adla Badli (swap): Lokesh hires the reckless Vikram to pretend to be his long-lost son. What doesn’t: The pacing sags a bit in
Verdict: The setup is pure Farhad Samji-style chaos. Mohit Raina’s transformation from timid husband to desperate liar is gold.
