Helmed by one of the most celebrated filmmakers in India, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar marks a significant artistic milestone in the realm of streaming content. Touted as the grandest and most-awaited series of the year, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is set to unveil his 14-year passion project in collaboration with Netflix, to global audiences.
Set in pre-independent India, the series is an epic saga of love, power, revenge and freedom. The characters Manisha Koirala‘s illustrious Mallikajaan, Sonakshi Sinha‘s resplendent Fareedan, Richa Chadha‘s enchanting Lajjo, Aditi Rao Hydari‘s graceful Bibbojaan, Sanjeeda Shaikh‘s captivating Waheeda, and Sharmin Segal‘s radiant Alamzeb personify grace on screen, telling a story of succession, freedom and love in all its forms.
Thrilled with the audience’s response to the first look, Prerna Singh, CEO at Bhansali Productions, expressed, “As makers, the aspect of storytelling which we enjoy the most is being able to portray characters that are profound and flawed in their own way, and have viewers empathize with them regardless. Very soon, the doors to Heeramandi will open to one and all & you will get to see the magic that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has created with Heeramandi.”
The character posters, true to Bhansali’s signature style, are a reflection of his ability to craft visually stunning narratives that transcend borders and cultures. Get ready to embark on a visual odyssey as Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar brings together a powerhouse of talent and a magnificent world promising to immerse audiences.
Arch nemeses Mallikajaan and Fareedan are locked in a battle for succession of Heeramandi, where courtesans reign as queens. The only hope is young Alam, Mallikajaan’s youngest daughter. But what happens when Alam relinquishes power and chooses the love of one man over the adulation of many? Set in pre-independent India against the backdrop of the freedom movement, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is an epic saga of love, power, betrayal, struggle and, ultimately, freedom.
