Bombay Begums Review: Whatâs It About:
Set in the urban landscape, five women from different generations and walks of life come together and battle for their desires, ambitions, pride, bodies and sit on the throne-like queens.
Bombay Begums Review: What Works:
If there ever happens to be a crossover film where Alankrita Shrivastavaâs women meet and discuss society, I would be the first to buy a ticket. Bombay Begums, created and directed by Alankrita Shrivastava â Bornila Chatterjee and written with Iti Agarwal, is again a close look at women from the different strata of the society. An elite CEO of a bank Rani (Pooja Bhatt), has strived hard to reach the top. She is at the top of a hierarchy that wants to pull her down. She makes the crisp sarees her armours and her brain her weapon.
