Heeramandi: El reino de las cortesanas

Powerful performance by Manisha, sonakshi. Interesting storyline..didn't enjoy the last 2 episodes as it was a complete diversion from the main plot. The politics of heeramandi is what makes the story enjoyable...Manisha and Sonakshi along with bibbojaan were really good, even saima and fattu are well written characters on the other hand richa was completely wasted Lajjo was a poor character no graph no depth. Actress who played Alamzeb her voice and diction were good but this role needed a very very good actress and she had limited expressions. Music is very good, it's a visually stunning film too.

My 5yr old sister can do better acting then sharmin Segal...the worst actress in the whole universe I would like to say.... HOW CAN A PERSON HAVE 0 EXPRESSION just because she is a sibling of Sanjay Leela bhansali, she got a chance for the biggest role There can be any actress in her play and they would do better than this women Most disappointing part is the lead female actor too disappointing she has just one expression in the whole series just 1 expression Otherwise the series is great and watchable for people who like old periodic movies it is a glamorous series which represents the beauty of tawaifs.

"Heeramandi" offers a sumptuous dive into the intricate world of high-class "tawaifs", with its opulent sets and captivating storytelling. Aditi Rao Hydari shines brightly in her role, while Sonakshi Sinha and Manisha Koirala command the screen with their exceptional performances. Richa Chadha and Sanjeeda Sheikh deliver commendable portrayals despite limited screen time.

In short, everyone was good except SHARMIN SEGAL what was Bhansali thinking while casting her as a lead... I can do better than her.

Yet the costume team deserves high praise for their exquisite work, creating a visual feast with every attire showcased in the series. Their attention to detail enhances the viewing experience, capturing the essence of the era beautifully.

In conclusion, "Heeramandi" is a captivating journey through a fascinating era, marred only by a misstep in casting. Nonetheless, its visual splendor and compelling performances make it a worthy watch, especially for enthusiasts of period dramas.

After a long hiatus, I decided to give a new show a shot, but I was sorely disappointed. The show in question, "Heeramandi" by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, promised much but delivered little beyond its visual appeal. Known for his lavish sets and intricate costumes, Bhansali's skills in these areas were unmistakable and truly commendable. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for me.

Describing this show as "all style and no substance" feels almost too kind. It's a perfect example of a series that looks beautiful on the surface but lacks depth. The first episode was torturously slow, so much so that I found myself fast-forwarding through parts of it, which I rarely do if I'm trying to give a show a fair chance.

As the superficial allure of the stunning sets and costumes wore off, I tried to focus on the plot, only to find myself overwhelmed. The narrative introduced around 20 characters in what felt like a rapid-fire, haphazard fashion, moving forwards and backwards with little regard for coherence. It felt like a bad LSD trip, and even Confucius would forgive me for being utterly confused and confounded.

In essence, while Bhansali's "Heeramandi" might be a feast for the eyes, it's a famine for the mind. Despite its visual mastery, the series is shallow, lacking the compelling storytelling needed to make the aesthetic elements worthwhile.

Something which shines too much is not worthy at all same for the case of heeramandi. IT shines and sparkles with the sets , visuals, production , fabulous acting , Over the top cinematography but fails to deliver in Storyline , plot, british part , curiosity to watch more episodes and I think BGM at points. The music of the whole series is average There was no proper intro song or a proper intro, literally no pre intro scene after the 3rd episode and sometimes it feels way too much dragged and long. No proper explanation of relations and the tawaif culture. Could have been a 2 part movie.

Episode 1 to 3 - 4/5 Episode 4 to 6-1½/5 Episode 7- 4½/5 Episode 8-4/5 Good for one time experience with no expectations.
