Badnaam — Gali Netflix

Badnaam Gali (translated as Infamous Lane ) is a 2024 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama directed by and produced under Yoodlee Films (the production arm of Saregama).

The story is set in a cramped, gossip-ridden chawl in Mumbai. The protagonist, (Divyenndu), runs a small mobile repair shop and lives with his conservative mother. His wife Neha (Patralekhaa) is a housewife yearning for independence. The lane’s “badnaam” (infamous) tag emerges when a leaked private video of a neighbor goes viral, triggering a cycle of voyeurism, character assassination, and hypocrisy. Suraj finds himself caught between defending the victim’s dignity and succumbing to the lane’s mob mentality. The film uses this incident to satirize how digital-age shame culture collides with traditional neighborhood surveillance.
