Official trailer and plot of Bandra
Bandra revolves around two interconnected timelines, bringing together a present-day investigation and a dramatic romantic story set in the 1990s.
In the present timeline, Sakshi, an aspiring assistant director in Bollywood, is struggling to find an interesting subject for her next film. Her attention is drawn towards Tara Janaki, a popular Bollywood actress from the 1990s whose mysterious death continues to intrigue people. Eager to learn more about Tara’s life, Sakshi meets Mirchi, someone who was once closely associated with the actress and agrees to share her story.
The narrative then travels back to the 1990s, when Tara enjoys considerable success in Bollywood but struggles with her personal life. Her adoptive mother, Hemaji, and influential film producer Raghavendra Desai exercise control over her life, making her increasingly determined to break free from their influence.
While shooting for a film in Kollam, Kerala, Tara finds an opportunity to escape and takes shelter with Alan Alexander Dominic, popularly known as Aala, a powerful businessman who operates in the local fishing harbour.
Aala, who has admired Tara for years, welcomes her and provides her with protection. As she gradually becomes a part of his family and inner circle, Tara experiences the love, warmth and independence that had been missing from her life. She also learns about Aala’s dangerous history in Mumbai, where he was once known as a feared personality.
However, Tara’s peaceful existence is disrupted when Raghavendra Desai discovers her location and dispatches his men to Kerala to bring her back. Their arrival threatens Aala’s influence and the life he has established for himself. Unwilling to let Tara fall into Desai’s control again, Aala decides to confront him and his associates, leading to a fierce clash between the two powerful men.
As tensions rise, Tara and Aala’s relationship faces several challenges, putting their future together at risk. The chain of events unfolding across Mumbai and Kerala eventually reveals the circumstances behind Tara’s mysterious final days.
Returning to the present, Sakshi gradually connects the dots through Mirchi’s account and discovers the hidden links between Tara, Aala and the incidents that defined the actress’ tragic life. After completing her investigation, she makes a film based on the revelations. However, she later receives a phone call from Aala, who is currently in Kazakhstan. He informs her that there is much more to the story, with another 30 years of events still left unexplored.
