Bambai Meri Jaan

I understand few folks are comparing this to gangs of wasseypur. Well, no offense, these millenials need to know the history before writing a review. The greatest rivarly that ever existed in Mumbai between Haji and D Company was well showcased in this 10 episode event. Hats off to the director and writers. Although, my review is also based on the news and movies I have seen over the years on this feud, nonetheless, this was a great entertainer. Nicely written combined with pace. Anybody who knows Mumbai knows what this story was. I hope this series receives much better ratings in order to encourage those fearless writers and producers to come forth and convert little known facts into public knowledge.

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.
