Created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Netflix, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal in the lead roles.
The streaming giant Netflix unveiled the trailer of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on Tuesday, April 9. The show features Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal as the tawaifs in the red-light disctrict of Heera Mandi in Lahore during the Indian independence movement against the British Raj in the 1940s.
The trailer shows Mallikajaan (Manisha Koirala) ruling over an elite house of courtesans in the sizzling district of Heeramandi. When her late nemesis’ daughter, Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha) returns, it leads to the fight for the power and status between the two ladies for the title of the huzoor, or the lady, of Heeramandi.
The show also has Bibbojaan (Aditi Rao Hydari), one of Mallikajaan’s daughters, joining the fight for Indian independence freedom and Mallikajaan’s youngest, Alamzeb (Sharmin Segal), trying to run away from Heeramandi after falling in love with Tajdar (Taha Shah Badussha), the son of a nawab.
The much-awaited show is created and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the OTT platform and its grandeur and opulence shows in each and every frame, just like the National Award-winning director's films such as Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. The filmmaker has also composed the music for the show.
As soon as the trailer dropped, the netizens were mesmerised by its scale and cinematography. One of them wrote, "What a masterpiece from Sanjay Leela Bhansali", while another added, "I have no words to describe this. Absolutely speechless." "The aesthetics, the sets, the actors, the dialogues, everything takes you to the pre independent exotic era of India. Kudos to SLB", read another comment.
Also starring Adhyayan Suman, Shekhar Suman, Fardeen Khan, Vaishnavi Ganatra, and Farida Jalal amongst others, Heermandi: The Diamond Bazaar will start streaming on Netflix from May 1.
