The official trailer for the Prime Video original ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’ has been released now. The show will be premiering on the platform on the 14th of September. There will be ten episodes in Bambai Meri Jaan.
Kay Kay Menon plays the righteous and honest police officer Ismail who does not yield in front of any crime lord or any gangster but is compelled to live a life of poverty. Ismail’s son Dara Kadri, however, gets involved in petty crimes from early childhood and there is an evident rift between him and the honest officer Ismail. Dara flees from home and starts collecting money as a goon. He soon gets involved with the underground and gets on the verge of becoming the crime lord of Bombay. He has to confront many enemies, and his main opposition is his father.
Avinash Tiwary plays the role of adult Dara Kadri and he has done a convincing job. Kay Kay Menon’s performance is commendable and the supporting cast too is pretty good. The cinematography and BGM of the trailer is pretty good and the show looks well executed. ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’ directed by Shujaat Saudagar and it is created by Shujaat and Rensil D’Silva. The show is produced by Excel Entertainment, a production house known for movies like KGF and shows like Mirzapur. Fans anticipate a massive and violent show like Mirzapur itself.
The supporting cast includes actors like Kritika Kamra, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Amyra Dastur in major roles.
The show is set in post-independence Bombay and somehow looks similar to ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’, there are also rumors that the character of Dara Kadri is based on Dawood Ibrahim himself. The beginning of organized crime, the conflict of the ideals of father and son and the then society are great premises for a wonderful show. The show is said to be based on the story ‘Lahore Confidential’ by S. Hussain Zaidi.
