Preview of web series BOMBAY BEGUMS |
Fresh from her comeback in films with SADAK 2, actress Pooja Bhatt will soon be seen in the web series, BOMBAY BEGUMS. Directed by Alankrita Shrivastava of` “Lipstick Under My Burkha” fame and “Bornila Chatterjee”, BOMBAY BEGUMS follows five women as they strive to find their truth. Other than Pooja, it stars Shahana Goswami, Amruta Subhash, Plabita Borthakur and Aadhya Anand. The series will stream on Netflix. The series is about five women from across generations who wrestle with desire, ethics, personal crises and vulnerabilities to own their ambition, in contemporary urban India. As glass ceilings are shattered, and hearts are broken, difficult choices have to be made. And as each woman strives to find her own truth, they find in each other an unexpected understanding and the sliver of a bond. Director Alankrita said, For decades, cinema was about men and by men. Women had no role to play or were not even taking the story forward. Women played such stereotypical characters. Either they were pious or vixens. The whole universe of women has not been explored. There is so much to explore in women`s life. I don`t have an issue with being labelled, but it is not fair because as a woman, we are free to tell stories that we want.
