There were some who loved the show and could not believe that something could be made so beautiful on-screen and others who just could not believe why they invested their 7 hours in this series.
Eventually, over the week, the distance between these two extremes also shortened, with people pointing out loads that were wrong with this series. But here’s the bottom line: good or bad, everyone was interested in watching Heeramandi before its release.

What do we love most about TV shows? The answer is long, but pretty clear: a compelling story, complex characters with great backstories and strong arcs, good soundtracks, and let's not forget the visuals. The latter includes both effects and of course costumes and stuff.
And there’s no doubt that period dramas win the game when it comes about giving the viewers the best visuals. You wouldn't find another genre of series that will give you a better and more complicated and profound picture. Especially if the show is in any way about a particular ethnicity.
That's just one of the reasons India's latest Hindi-language Netflix drama has occupied #4 in the platform’s global top. Heeramandi is a period drama created and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

The lavish saga Heeramandi, from BAFTA-nominated director-composer Sanjay Leela Bhansali(Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas), tells the story of India’s elite tawaifs, or courtesans, living amid the fight for independence from British rule in the 1940s. As the courtesans entertain aristocrats, they scheme to fulfill their secret desires and clash against the powers that be. The epic Indian musical series stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, and Aditi Rao Hydari.

Back in 2019, on a visit to Los Angeles, celebrated Indian director Sanjay Leela Bhansali stopped in at the offices of Netflix. In his informal five-minute meeting with CEO Ted Sarandos, Bhansali pitched an idea — it would be an opulent tale of warring courtesans set amid India’s struggle for independence. Sarandos greenlit the project on the spot.
Now Bhansali’s Hindi-language series, “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,” is making its U.S. debut (episodes dropped on May 1). Spanning 1920 through 1947, the lavish story is set in the Heeramandi district of Lahore, British India, the milieu of the tawaifs. As with the geisha of Japan, tawaifs were trained in music and dance and courted by nobility. At the show’s center are Mallikajaan (Manisha Koirala), the scheming queen of Heeramandi, and her vindictive niece Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha), who has ambitions to take her aunt’s place.
The project’s development took somewhat longer than that Netflix visit.

From the moment the very first trailer for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Heeramandi” on Netflix arrived, it’s become increasingly difficult to ignore that a certain type of Indian actress has passed into extinction.
Since the dawn of Indian cinema, music and dance have been integral to the movie-going experience, with extra emphasis placed on the “heroine” — a leading lady who could not only carry a whole film as an actor, but also captivate the audience as a graceful, expressive dancer. Think of Hollywood corollaries like Judy Garland, Ginger Rogers, Doris Day — but if they were working well into the late 20th and even 21st century. It’s inherently wrapped up in India’s history of folk dance, which is always present at festivals or celebrations; and classical dance, which requires extensive training and was often a precursor to entering beauty pageants and the film industry. Heroines like Sridevi, Waheeda Rehman,...

Bhansali is known for his glamorous films that are adorned with sets constructed with elaborate detailing. Heeramandi is the tale of several courtesans living in Shahi Mahal under the guidance and tyranny of Mallikajaan. The trials and tribulations of every woman working and performing under her and the advent of her nemesis in the neighborhood form the tale of the eight-part show.

As with any time I try to explain a massive figure in Indian film to the uninitiated, the temptation rises quickly to compare director Sanjay Leela Bhansali to someone in Hollywood.
And, as with any time I actually make these comparisons, everything falls short. Bhansali depicts spectacle evocative of the work of Baz Luhrmann, but even that is a pale imitation (no disrespect to either). There is no one literally anywhere in the world creating cinema with the scale and grandeur that Bhansali has cultivated as his signature, a style so distinct that his own peers pay homage to it while he’s still alive and working.
But at the top of IndieWire’s conversation about Bhansali’s career, he’s quick to shake the larger-than-life visual splendor of his creations, emphasizing — as writer, director and producer, among his many hats — that the stories themselves evoke that scope.

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, now on Netflix in eight episodes is everything that Bhansali has come to be associated with, then some more. It is a feast for the eyes and soul with a gallery of female actors giving their best to every shot. At times the best of these actresses is not good enough. One of the lead actresses pretending to be drunken dancing is ludicrously caricatural. But then there is Aditi Rao Hydari looking every inch the ethereal kothewali, a distant cousin to Rekha in Umrao Jaan. And Shruti Sharma as ill-fated-in-love Saima makes her space. I must also mention Jayati Bhatia as Manisha Koirala’s faithful woman-Friday. Even when in the background she makes her presence felt.
Bhansali’s vision and execution are impeccable so much so that you wonder what this kotha classic would look like on the big screen.
