Story: Vasant Gawde, nicknamed Vasya, a mutri manager (sanitation worker), sees his ordinary and underprivileged existence flipped upside down by a simple dua (blessing) that gives him supernatural abilities to predict the future. Will Vasya experience a blessing or a curse as a result of this?

 The life of a Mumbai chawl resident who runs a pay-and-use public restroom has surprising twists and turns in Taaza Khabar, the debut video series by prominent YouTuber Bhuvan Bam. The young guy gains the ability to control his and the fate of the lady he loves thanks to a good act and a subsequent miracle. More magic would have improved the entire series.

The show also features a thug with political aspirations and a prostitute in love. The influence of the two persons on the protagonist's life is so evident that there is very little chance that the love-and-lust triangle will include any big shocks.

Taaza Khabar's fundamental idea may be novel, but the characters and specifics of the narrative are as dated as yesterday's headlines. There isn't anything in it that could be considered hot out of the oven. The protagonist amasses an absurd amount of fortune by betting on cricket matches whose outcome he knows in advance, makes a mint, and then—unsurprisingly—realizes that there is more to life than money.

The script by Hussain Dalal and Abbas Dalal is shallow, labored, and devoid of any real insight into what a guy caught in a rut should be pursuing. It depends on the protagonist's knowledge of events that haven't happened yet and the benefit he gains from his foresight.

The show's production levels are respectable, and it is co-produced by Rohit Raj and Bhuvan Bam's BB Ki Vines. The audience may immediately detect changes in the background, locations, and other settings as Vasya's life flips upside down.

All things considered, "Taaza Khabar" is an intriguing film because of the way it depicts the ordinary life of a simpleton with lofty goals. Additionally, it illustrates how attitudes and behaviors change when money is involved. Although the narrative can be related in some ways, it is not totally credible for obvious reasons. It's still a good enough program to binge-watch.
