Netflix’s new series, ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,’ is now available on the streaming service. It’s created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and it’s all about the world of courtesans. People have had lots to say about it.

Some love the amazing acting and catchy music, while others have questions about how the show was put together.

One person shared their thoughts on social media about the show, praising the acting, saying, “Heeramandi has to be congratulated for its pitch-perfect acting by Richa Chadha and the actor playing Ustad Ji. Manisha Koirala as a flawed madam was outstanding. I liked Sonakshi too. Songs were superb.” However, they also felt that the director went a bit too far with the grandeur, saying, “Just wish the director had not overindulged and got carried away by his reputation for grandeur. There’s a thing as ‘give me excess of it so the appetite may sicken and so die.”

For some people, the series really connected with them because it showed how women faced challenges throughout history. One person said, “People who aren’t familiar with Heeramandi: ‘This is such a powerful story showing the real struggles of Indian women.'” But for others, they were drawn to it more for its beauty. One viewer jokingly said, “When I watch Heeramandi: ‘I want those clothes, that jewelry, and definitely those ghagras”.

Another user said, “Bhansali made something amazing! Really impressive art, dance, acting, and dialogue. It’s such a delight to see another fantastic movie from the legendary Sanjay Leela Bhansali.”

Despite all the praise, some people had different opinions. One viewer thought Manisha Koirala did a great job, but they didn’t feel the show was as good overall. They said, “Manisha Koirala was amazing in Heeramandi. But the show itself didn’t impress me much.”

It’s not just the acting that got people talking. Some moments of deep emotion also stood out. One viewer vividly described a scene with Alamzeb and Tajdar: “Alamzeb writing poetry in her diary, and Tajdar softly guiding her hand towards his chest to use it as a flat surface, I am speechless.”

And of course, the music got a lot of love too. One viewer was amazed by the teamwork of Shreya Ghoshal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali: “The combination of Shreya Ghoshal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali in ‘Chaudhavi Shab’ is pure magic. Every scene looks like a beautiful painting. The visuals are just extraordinary.”

People really admire Bhansali’s talent. One person said, “No one does it like him.” Another praised Sonakshi, saying, “She was amazing in just one scene of the first episode.”
