She has sought to create a society that represents the experiences of urban working people, the director said.
“I hope the viewer responds to the actors and sees parts of the plot mirrored in their own journey. I am happy and proud that on the occasion of International Women’s Day, Bombay Begums will be on Netflix.”
The story, produced by Endemol Shine India, Endeavor Material, Chernin Entertainment, revolves around five women in contemporary urban India over generations who struggle with desire, ethics, personal crises and limitations to own their ambition.
