Bambai Meri Jaan

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.

The tempo, acting talent of the stars were all very good. Feel like giving 7+ rating. But the entire film is in darkness, can't understand why. We miss out on some expressions of artsts, the surrounding etc. But for certain night sequences, there was no necessity for it to be so dark. But for the storyline and direction, we would have skipped the series.

We are a big fan of KAYKAY and he did complete justice. Liked how Dara emerged and his loyalists along.

It was a period series fine, but electricity had come by then, right? Then why the petromax light effect in most part of the film? The flow did slowdown several times, but that was still fine in a 10 episode series. Please next time, we need lights.

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.
