A bank CEO’s son runs over a lower-class boy. The victim’s poor parent spots a get-rich-quick scheme through blackmail. A public scandal could end the CEO’s career and so it is best to pay up, and then pay some more.
Sounds like standard soap opera drama? Okay, imagine the picture again: The bank CEO is a woman fighting to hold onto that position, in an otherwise all-male board of directors waiting with bated breath to bring her down. The victim’s parent is a sex worker, who has incidentally serviced the CEO’s son who will run over her boy, only minutes before the incident takes place.
Bombay Begums, Netflix India’s six-part series that premiered on International Women’s Day.
In under six hours, we see a
spectrum of women pre-pubescent to menopausal, urban elite to underprivileged, big-city movers-and-shakers to small-town lasses, banker to bar dancer navigating their way through cut-throat Bombay.
A
plethora of issues loveless marriages and infidelity; infertility and surrogacy; boardroom politics and workplace sexual harassment; teenage heartbreaks and substance abuse; alternative sexualities and gender power plays are touched upon.
So much so that you wish there was less of it. And more of the less.
