Kay Kay Menon and Avinash Tiwary's Bambai Meri Jaan is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Bambai Meri Jaan, by Shujaat Saudagar, also stars Amyra Dastur, Kritika Kamra, and Nivedita Bhattacharya. The show is produced by Excel Media & Entertainment. Kay Kay Menon plays a cop, Ismail Kadri, in the series. He is leading “Pathan Squad,” a special task force set up to expose the criminal nexus. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, said, “Bambai Meri Jaan captures the grit and grime of gang wars that leave behind a long trail of bodies and push a city to the edge.” Well, It is safe to say that Ismail Kadri is just another addition to Kay Kay Menon's long list of sensational characters.
