Sanjay Leela Bhansali interview: The filmmaker opens up exclusively on the journey of making Heeramandi, and whether shift to streaming has dimmed his shine. | Web Series
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar recently took to his Instagram to post praises for his peer Sonakshi Sinha and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. 'Heeramandi' is a critically acclaimed Netflix limited series directed by the 'Padmavat' director.
Heeramandi review: If Devdas was about two star-crossed lovers and Gangubai was the rise of a young woman in the power corridors, the focus has now shifted entirely on the lives of the women in this story of Heeramandi.
'Heeramandi' by Sanjay Leela Bhansali oozes with decadence and the jewellery worn by the female protagonists in the show reflect exactly that. The maker of the jewelleries reveals they took 3 years to make.
Against the backdrop of the British Raj, 'Heeramandi' tells stories of triumph, dignity, female fury, and resilience. It follows a collective of tawaifs, also known as courtesans, who manage a thriving brothel located in Heeramandi, one of the renowned red-light districts in South Asia.
The cast of the much-awaited web series, 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar', recently launched their first song, 'Sakal Ban', with the contestants of Miss World 2024. This event has significantly heightened the buzz for the upcoming series.
