The fictional crime series is an interesting tale of a father and son, both two sides of the same coin. The series explores the classic, universal battle of good versus evil. Set in the post-independence days, the story traces the life of a young Dara Qadri (Avinash Tiwari), who is torn between his father’s (KK Menon) law-abiding legacy and his journey into the world of crime.

Ritesh Sidhwani, Excel Media & Entertainment said, “Set in the post-independence era, ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’ tells the story of the birth of the underworld in Mumbai against the backdrop of a free nation. Explores the classic, universal battle of evil.”

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Kasim Jagmagiya and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Media & Entertainment, Bombay Meri Jaan will premiere on Prime Video on 14 September.
