Ep 4. A Bollywood Dream

In Hustle season 3 episode 4, titled "A Bollywood Dream," our favorite group of grifters ventures into the world of Indian film. The episode starts with our heroes learning that a Bollywood star named Rama Chandra (played by Shabana Azmi) is coming to London to shoot a movie. The team sees this as an opportunity to pull off a lucrative scam.

They decide to impersonate a Bollywood film crew and convince Rama Chandra to invest in their movie. They create elaborate sets, costumes, and even hire extras to make everything look authentic. They also enlist the help of a struggling British-Asian director to make their act more believable.

When Rama Chandra arrives in London, she is surprised to see a big Bollywood-style dance number being performed for her. The team tells her that they are shooting a film and ask for her investment. Rama Chandra is hesitant at first, but she is soon won over by the team's passion and talent.

The team moves on to the next phase of their plan, which involves convincing Rama Chandra to invest more money in their movie by promising her a role in it. They tell her that they will make a film that will showcase her talent to the world. Rama Chandra, who is used to being in control, is thrilled to hear this and agrees to invest more money.

As the team gets deeper into their scam, things start to get complicated. One of the members, Ash (played by Robert Glenister), starts to develop feelings for Rama Chandra and begins to question the morality of their scam. Meanwhile, the British-Asian director who is helping them turns out to be a con artist himself, and the team has to find a way to outsmart him.

The episode is a fun and entertaining ride through the world of Bollywood. The team's elaborate plans, intricate costumes, and flashy dance numbers are a delight to watch. The show does a great job of capturing the glitz and glamour of Indian film and the cultural differences between the East and the West.
