Netflix’s Bombay Begums is one of the most recent Netflix titles that has created a special buzz for its highly women-centric approach. We have seen quite a few of these titles that have attempted to portray a fun and carefree version of feminism in the recent past but most of them have left us disappointed with their caricaturish representation of what they think true equality should be like.
Bombay Begums is a tale of five women and how their stories are interwoven by the hands of destiny. In a world of patriarchy where the man is thought to pull all the strings, the women make their moves to get by in this great city of dreams whether by charm or by sheer will.
Bombay Begums has a stellar cast and we get to see Pooja Bhatt in the lead role after a long time. Apart from Pooja Bhatt, Amrita Subhash, Plabita Borthakur, Shahana Goswami and Ivanka das are the leading ladies of this series.

Bombay begums is the story of five urban women who are of different ages and represent different generations. These women are trying to fight to come to terms with their desires, morals, weaknesses, and fears.
