Hungama, India’s leading digital entertainment company launched its latest original show, ‘Boys with Toys. A youth comedy, the show revolves around the lives of Adi and Jiggy, both in their early 20s, who share an apartment in Mumbai and are bored with their dead-end jobs. Keen to have some adventure in their lives, the boys are overjoyed when Jiggy’s late uncle leaves behind an inheritance for them. Expecting it to be at least a crore of rupees, the boys are surprised beyond belief to receive the inheritance in kind, in the form of sex toys. They must now figure out the utility of each sex toy and find a way to sell them to pay their bills, and in the process face wildly funny situations that turn their lives into a comic frenzy.
