#BombayBegums is one of worst made shows. Characters roles n story line is so unconvincing n weird at times. Acting is great. But the plot. ππ»

#BombayBegums a stark portrayal of womens' struggle to get their due in a man's world ; a glorious comeback by @PoojaB1972 & excellent perfs by @ShahanaGoswami, @PlabitaB, @AmrutaSubhash & #AadhyaAnand @NetflixIndia @alankrita601 .

Avoidable voiceover aside, #BombayBegums is an important show. Also the first one that has made me consider the gender of the reviewer.

When things have been too imbalanced for too long, subtlety doesn't cut it.

Watched the first few episodes of #BombayBegums and I feel it's the same old conflicts run through and through. Didn't even like Alankrita's last film Dolly aur Kitty ke chamakte sitaare. Disappointing watch.

@PoojaB1972 Enjoyed watching #BombayBegums. All the women are fab in this series.

Eatched Ep 1 of #BombayBegums. I must say @PoojaB1972 you were convincing in a simple role in DHKMN & nothing short of superb in BB now. I'm hooked, can't wait to continue watching tonight. Power packed performance, nothing over the top, realistic, heart wrenching yet believable.
