Bambai Meri Jaan
Starring Kay Kay Menon, Avinash Tiwary, Kritika Kamra, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Amyra Dastur
Directed by Shujaat Saudagar
One thing about the enduring interest in lives of smugglers and gangsters: they provided a lot of employment to Mumbai’s population back in the 1960s, 70s and 80s when they were active; they continue to provide employment to actors and technicians who are part of these never-ending sanguinary sagas of nebulous loyalties and sticky alliances.
Bambai Meri Jaan based on S. Hussain Zaidi’s Dongri to Dubai: Six Decades of the Mumbai Mafia is a slowburn crime thriller with criminal characters trapped in a sordid system that fosters treachery. At a running time of almost ten hours, it gives us a lot of time to think for an answer to that ultimate crime conundrum: does crime pay? How much did Excel Entertainment make out of this deal. By the way?...

Mumbai, Sep 12 (Ians) Shujaat Saudagar, the director and co-creator of the upcoming period crime-drama streaming series ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’, has said that actor Kay Kay Menon was a perfect choice for the part of the cop – Ismail Kadri in the series, and casting him was a “no brainer”.
‘Bambai Meri Jaan’, which also stars Avinash Tiwary, Kritika Kamra, Nivedita Bhattacharya and Amyra Dastur, narrates the life and rise of a Dara Kadri, a tale told through the lens of a father, Ismail Kadri, an honest cop torn between his duty and responsibilities.
Talking about Menon’s casting, Shujaat said: “Kay Kay was a no-brainer, I had sent a script out to him. I have been trying to work with him for almost 20 years and things have never materialised. If there’s anyone who could do justice to the role of Ismial Kadri, it was this spectacular actor.”

Actress Kritika Kamra, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming streaming series ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’, has spilled beans on her character of Habiba, the youngest and the only sister among Dara Kadri’s siblings. The actress’s character of Habiba makes for a good contrast in the show as she stands out as a bold and confident woman who breaks away from the stereotypical construct of a woman in such a setting, to make her voice heard with impact.
Sharing the dimensions of her part, Kritika said: “Habiba is a woman of many shades. She is stubborn like her father, courageous like Dara and is fiercely loyal like him. At the same time, being the youngest and the only woman among the siblings. She idolises her brother Dara and shares a special bond with him which influences his decisions and actions as well.”

Actor Kay Kay Menon, who is a chameleon when it comes to getting into the skin of any character, said he plays people and not roles. Kay Kay is all set for the release of his next series ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’ in which he will be seen playing the role of an honest cop.
The trailer of the series was launched in Mumbai on Monday and it has been getting great response from everyone.
Kay Kay has earlier also played the role of a cop on screen.
When asked what difference will the audience get to see in his role this time, he said, “I play people on screen and not roles. No two people are the same in this world and there can be limited number of roles. For example one can play the role of a cop, professor, lawyer but each person is different.

Kay Kay has earlier also played the role of a cop on screen.
When asked what difference will the audience get to see in his role this time, he said, “I play people on screen and not roles. No two people are the same in this world and there can be limited number of roles. For example one can play the role of a cop, professor, lawyer but each person is different. So I tend to play that person on screen.

After “Mulk” (2018), “Article 15” (2019), “Thappad” (2020) and “Anek” (2022), filmmaker Anubhav Sinha is back with “Bheed,” another hard-hitting film that shines a light on the fabric of Indian society.
The film is set during the 2020 Indian pandemic lockdown and tells the poignant story of migrant workers stranded without basic necessities while trying to go home to their villages. Shot in black and white, it is deliberately evocative of the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent into India and Pakistan when people were uprooted from their homes in the largest migration in history.

Hush Hush
Starring Juhi Chawla, Soha Ali Khan, Kritika Kamra, Shahana Goswami, Karishma Tanna
Created and Directed by Tanuja Chandra
This is a very good looking police procedural with some beautiful actresses getting together to play bestfriends for life, and in one case, in death.
What keeps one glued right till the end is the question: where is this going? More importantly, the principal actresses have the looks and sometimes the skills , though not always, to make us partially involved.
Spoiler Alert: Juhi Chawla, looking like an older version of Sanya Malhotra, in a classic case of a monstrous miscast plays Ishi Sangmitra , a high-flying wheelerdealer who gets savagely slayed in the first episode…or is it the second? It becomes a little tough to keep track when the narrative moves forward and back without warning.
What is as clear as daylight is that Ishi is up to no good...
