Bambai Meri Jaan

In the tumultuous backdrop of 1965 Bombay, "Bambai Meri Jaan" unravels a gripping narrative of Ismail Kadri, a principled police officer and devoted family man. Tasked with exposing the dark alliance between underworld kingpins Haji and Pathan, Ismail's unwavering integrity faces relentless challenges. Simultaneously, he grapples with domestic turmoil, particularly disciplining his son, Dara. An unexpected crisis ensues when Ismail's brother-in-law accidentally kills a fellow officer, leading to Ismail's expulsion from the police force.

Struggling to provide for his family post-dismissal, the weight of poverty begins to shape Dara's perspective. Haji tightens his grip on Ismail, eventually forming a trio of criminal overlords with Anna. Fast forward to 1977, and Dara emerges as a formidable rival, sparking a personal feud with the Pathan gang that escalates into a blood-soaked vendetta.

Dara's pursuit of vengeance leads to alliances with Dubai Sheikhs, giving birth to the notorious D-Company. As his empire expands, family tensions rise, and a revenge-fueled Pathan threatens to dismantle everything. A ruthless war unfolds, resulting in brutal showdowns, and Dara's ultimate sacrifice - leaving his family under the care of his sister, Habiba, as he ventures into an uncertain future in Dubai. "Bambai Meri Jaan" is an unrelenting journey through Mumbai's underbelly, where loyalty, betrayal, and revenge shape destinies, birthing the empire.

I loved the seriousness and beauty of the script. It was written well.

These days, its hard to find good content when Netflix is in everyone's mind. Not every series can become sacred games, i admit but content should be good enough. Netflix's content has become formula-based and generic. Sonyliv has much better content.

It was great to see this. The story was good and even if there is going to be a part-2 which i suspect, it was not like every other series whose script gets a scoobydo type of twist to release the mask in the end to make its sequel. It was well directed, to be converted in sequel, if there will be.

It is not so easy to recrate the 60's, 70's and 80's era with perfect cinematography, excellent acting and direction. Every episode is exciting and you cant help binge watch the whole series.

There is nothing much left for the new season but still hoping that something between D company & Chotta will be the plot for the new season.

Both Avinash and Saurabh gave excellent performances along with Kiritika. Kay Kay doesnt need words, we all know his perfection in excelling any role.

Overall a very nice series after long time with superb performances by entire cast. I am sure the rating will go up from 7 to 8 within short span of time.

For those who read the book of this famous writer Hussain Zaidi, knows exactly what happened in early 80's and 90's in bombay. This series holds up a strong grip on those real life incidents and events that took place in underwood era. From money extortion to Rolex watch scammers that used to took place at that time was exactly happened in real life at that time by very own "D". Kay Kay memon excelled in his role, almost a show stealer but Ohh boy what a performance by Avinash Tiwary, who manages to hold the script around himself and delivered a glass shattering performance of the one and only.
