MUMBAI, India– June 30, 2025: Amazon MX Player’s latest series, First Copy, transports viewers to the underbelly of 1990s Mumbai—a time when Bollywood dreams flourished under the shadow of pirated reels, and street-smart rebels built illegal empires. At the centre of the story is Arif, a romantic drifter whose rise through the world of film piracy brings him into conflict with the police, the underworld, and the very industry he’s obsessed with. The series boasts a powerhouse cast featuring Munawar Faruqui, Saqib Ayub, Gulshan Grover, Krystle D’Souza, Ashi Singh, and Meiyang Chang in pivotal roles.
Krystle D’Souza, who plays Mona, a yesteryear actress navigating the darker side of stardom, shares how the show’s retro backdrop resonated with her, especially the fashion. “An iconic 90s heroine has to be Karisma Kapoor. There is no way it's anybody other than her. The style, the jewelry, everything was just so on point. And honestly,. I can pick up anything from that wardrobe and wear it in 2025 and still look fab.”
While First Copy blending themes of love, ambition, betrayal, and survival against the nostalgia-drenched backdrop of 90s Bollywood, Mona’s character reflects both the elegance and the emotional cost of chasing stardom. It’s a world where ambition meets vulnerability and where fame has a flip side.
Witness this thrilling ride as First Copy is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player, available on the MX Player app, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
