The vibrant characters of Tara and Arun and the period charm of nineteenth-century Bombay stick in the memory long after the story is told. —RAVI K. CHANDRAN, Cinematographer, Indian Society of Cinematographers Death in Colaba Bay is a thrilling tale of Victorian Bombay, a city where dreams are realized, and nightmares are lived. BOMBAY 1898. In the bustling and modern port city of Bombay—home to great wealth and great deprivation—crime is ever present. Three young girls go missing from a prominent ‘native’ school in the city. Their families are frantic with worry. Tara Bai, a young widow and heiress, with strong social connections, is an alumnus of the school. Intrigued and alarmed by the case, at the behest of the school founder and principal, she agrees to help the grieving parents. Arun Rao, a young and promising police officer, is assigned to the case. His track record of solving complex crimes has led to his transfer to the Bombay Police, from Poona. Soon, one of the missing girls is found dead on the shores of Colaba. The current crime has uncanny similarities to older cases from Central India involving the royal family of Jaiwar. A chance encounter at the home of one of the victims brings Tara and Arun together and they join hands to unmask a murderer who has already struck once and will not hesitate to kill again.
