Amazon’s free streaming platform, Amazon MX Player, presents Pyar, Paisa and Profit, a new original series that explores themes of ambition, relationships, and personal growth. Based on Durjoy Dutta’s best-selling novel Now That You’re Rich, Let’s Fall in Love, the 20-episode drama follows four young professionals—Abhijeet, Saurabh, Shruti, and Garima—as they navigate the competitive world of Mumbai’s venture capital industry.

Mihir Ahuja praises the nuanced writing of Amazon MX Player’s Pyar, Paisa, Profit; says, “Durjoy and Sumrit have done such a thoughtful job of showing both sides of ambition”

Directed by Prashant Singh, the series offers a mix of emotional depth and contemporary storytelling. With a cast that includes Mihir Ahuja, RJ Mahvash, Pratik Yadav, Shivangi Khedkar, Nitish Sharma, and Naman Upadhyaya, Pyar, Paisa and Profit aims to bring relatable characters and real-life dilemmas to the screen.

Mihir Ahuja, who headlines the cast as an ambitious Abhijeet, reflects on how the series portrays the complexities of ambition and relationships in the corporate world, sharing, “What I really appreciated about the story was how it doesn’t just focus on the corporate world, it also delves into each characters’ personal lives, their relationships, dreams, and the choices they make along their journey. Additionally, the show doesn’t glorify hustle culture or villainise it. It simply holds up a mirror. Durjoy and Sumrit have done such a thoughtful job of showing both sides of ambition: the drive that pushes you to do better, and the darker side, where ambition can lead you down the wrong path. By the end of it, you’re left asking yourself, what am I willing to trade for success?”

Sharing his views on the portrayal of relationships in the series, Mihir added, “No matter what career you choose, every relationship has its share of ups and downs. You’re juggling deadlines with heartbreak, promotions with personal loss. The show perfectly highlights how important it is to be emotionally present, to trust your partner, and to make time for each other. I think that’s what makes it relatable. These are challenges we all face, whether we’re chasing success in our jobs or trying to hold on to the people we love.”

Pyar, Paisa, Profit is now available to stream for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available through its apps on mobile, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
