About
Bambai Meri Jaan is a captivating saga that unfolds the life of Dara Kadri, a young man torn between his father's law enforcement legacy and his own journey into the heart of organized crime. We witness the rise of Bombay's most notorious gangster as he clashes with a formidable mafia trio and becomes a force to be reckoned with. Amidst the bloodshed, betrayals, and booming opportunities, the series offers an ode to the enduring love for the city and the relentless pursuit of power that shapes its destiny.
The show presents the classic ‘Nature versus Nurture’ theme where an honest cop questions himself, if he created the monster in his son. It is the story of a father and son who are fundamentally two sides of the same coin. Their relationship is strained under the constant struggle to provide for the family and grappling between right and wrong, good and bad and black and white.
Thematically, the show deep dives into the psyche of people who live on the fringes of society - who are used, abused and weaponised for the larger cause of crime syndicates. It’s truly a universal story that follows the journey of one man who rises from the mean streets of the city to fulfil his ambition; here it is to become the undisputed king of Bombay’s underworld.
