HEERAMANDI: THE DIAMOND BAZAAR Official Trailer Reaction! | Sanjay Leela Bhansali

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Manisha Koirala the OG BHANSALI and Mani Ratnam Heroine. Also, it was nice to see Farida Jalal in the trailer.

[@Bhruguraj]

Also Aishwarya

[@M24071]

Seeing Manisha brought back so many nostalgic feelings for me i loved her movies she's an amazing actress it's nice to see her again

[@bahartigupata420]

Thank you!! I see so many people talk about SLB movies but they never talk about Khamoshi! The original SLB movie!!!!!

[@divyak9980]

The courtesans or "tawaifs' were indeed incredibly powerful. There used to be a distinction where the Tawaifs were different from generic sex workers. They were once highly valued as connoisseurs of art and adab, and young men were supposed to learn about appreciation of music, poetry, art ,dancing, even things like social etiquettes etc from them. Sex was sometimes not involved at all, since a highly regarded courtesan was untouchable. When you talk about the girls at perhaps the lower levels those were what became first defined as the nautch girls 'dancing girls' by the Brits and exoticised. Yet historical record shows these women were among the few that owned their own property, had tons of gold, and were also educated in many ways. Once the freedom struggle started a lot of wealthy courtesans and famous madams gave money to the freedom fighters, supported the cause by providing valuable intel, and influencing powerful men. The brits did embark on a massive smear campaign against them which to this day have reduced their image to that of a lowly prostitute. There are i believe some very interesting historical papers about the Tawaifs and the Indian struggle for independence. When cinema came to India, most actress in the early days were either ex-courtesans or daughters of courtesans, since their skill in dancing and music and their beauty was already unmatched.

[@Kathakathan11]

Never heard about this, any historical reference or just some google article where you found this information

[@lakshmisrivatsan_]

@@Kathakathan11it’s actually common knowledge in india. but you can google the difference and the wiki article will come up. most of indian history is very interesting.

[@ayazch3305]

Now that place is in so bad condition and disliked place by alot of people because of the bad image. Now it lost all of its charm. I went there 2 times just to see as we heard its name that much it made me go so when i first time went to lahore city my first place to go was heeramandi

[@ayishan3619]

delightful comment, thank you for sharing

👍

[@banchan9oo]

exactly.. nawab k jootay waly dialogue ka to maza hi nhe aya english mein kuch 😅

[@DimaRakesah]

I also noticed the subtitles in the trailer are slightly different than the subtitles in the full show. The trailer ones seem better at getting the nuance across, the show ones are a bit more... literal? Which is a shame.

[@rohitbatawale3075]

Dont know how sanjay sir is not getting best costume award in oscar Dont know what they seek for that award but he creates masterpiece

[@Ishanp90]

The directors/creatives themselves have to send their name and work for oscar consideration. The oscars dont seek out creatives to give out awards. So if you think that our directors(and other industry professionals) are not receiving recognition, then its probably because they didn't care about oscars in the first place and didn't send their work for nomination.

[@LilacPeony3088]

I didn't see his works in any OSCAR submission lists. He didn't send any , if he did at least for visual, costume design, cinematography etc nominated for sure.

[@batoolfatima3474]

The Oscars should change it's name to bhansali 🔥

[@PokhrajRoy.]

10:24 ‘Saraswatichandra’ was an epic novel that was made into a film with Nutan and then SLB was a part of the TV adaptation.

[@Aiarts-en1yr]

And I still love that show ❤❤❤

[@sushmiiitaaa]

Ikr it was one of the best serial

[@drishyaphuel]

I loved Saraswatichandra as a kid

[@diasistina1]

Yes but only a half of the series. Then SLB left, but I still love Saraswatichandra

[@Kushagra1711]

Sanjay Leela B. is not missing the Oscar, the Oscar is missing him!

[@KiNGKuNTa986]

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is the best of bollywood.

[@Priti1998N]

2:03 The dancers dancing in the windows and balconies is a very iconic image for courtesan movies. It was prominently seen in older movies like Pakeezah, Umrao jaan. SLB later showed similar visuals in Devdas and Gangubai kathiavadi. Check out song Inhi logon ne from Pakeezah. You'll see what I'm saying.

[@virferind7946]

Yeah exactly! That's best seen in "Inhi Logo Ne Le Leena" of Pakeezah! Tawaif movies are a treat of great visuals & apt depictions of Urdu culture of north India btw!

[@Apm16_20]

exactly i commented the same... who can compare Pakeezah , they had carpet made of gold imported from iran in that movie

[@ashokbantawarai5310]

Manisha Koirala is the pride of Nepal. She is Nepali and decided to pursue her career in Indian Cinemas. She fought and won Cancer. She is the real warrior.

[@virferind7946]

Yeah, we love Manisha jee. Love from India.❤🇮🇳

[@baxterismyyoutubename5077]

❤❤❤ Yeah I knew since my childhood..

[@chinmaykamalapurkar16]

We love nepal and manisha ji 😊 🇳🇵❤️ 🇮🇳

[@KookieKrumble]

I absolutely love seeing people who are not local to South Asia to start and appreciate the aesthetic of South Asian cinema! It is always great to see the film and television transcends borders and languages.

[@usmantariq7997]

So glad to see Manisha Koirala and Farida Jalal in this. Also noticed Fardeen Khan in the trailer, guess he's making a comeback after 14 years. Pretty big cast, hope this works out well for them.

[@jeetsethi414]

u r cute

[@usmantariq7997]

@@jeetsethi414 Thank you 😅

[@Vennela_Raj]

WE WANT JABY'S REACTION TOO!!

[@SMon-wh6om]

Yes it is a true story with minor tweaks. The same story was made as a film called Rajkahini in Bengali and Begam Jaan in hindi with Vidya Balan as the main lead.

[@shivamsaini07]

Yes...begam jaan. I saw it.

[@divyak9980]

Begam jaan is slightly different though, and deals more with near partition time and it's impact.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

THE COSTUMES AND THE PRODUCTION DESIGN >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[@jenniferlaurene9699]

To watch a beautiful series about the black and white era, and a storyline based on filmmakers of the era and how films were made back then in Bollywood, watch "JUBILEE" It's genuinely such a good show, that presents that era soo well, not the mention the songs from that series are ABSOLUTE GOLD So if you plan to explore more about that era, films and music, "JUBILEE" is the SHOW for you !!!

[@jenniferlaurene9699]

You both need to watch "GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI" together 😍 Since none of you have seen it yet, and then we need Michael's reaction to "PADMAAVAT" and "RAMLEELA" 🔥 That would be amazing !!!

[@MK4504]

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI AND PADMAAVAT 🙌🏻✨

[@prajlikespuns]

I saw Michael and I clicked it immediately!

[@azoesee]

Seen little of but very familiar of the face and name Sanjeeda Sheikh . Its great to see her here in SLB creation with stalwarts of the industry.

[@sayanisamajder7906]

It is basically a very rich and upgraded version of a very popular bengali (also Indian) movie called- Rajkahini. Please do watch it,its the OG one.There is also a hindi movie of the same bengali movie called Begum Jaan and Vidya Balan is there in it.

[@rgupta-92]

Right, the original bengali movie was awesome and had depth. This just looks like the fancy version.

[@krishniarumugam]

This trailer is better than all of Bhansali's previous trailers. Cannot believe that its streaming release

[@ambrose7581]

0:53 Is Mitchel talking about Malhari Song from Bajirao Mastani?

[@haroonafridi231]

Heeramandi is a place in Lahore Pakistan And this is based on that. This is when indian-subcontinent was under British rule

[@virferind7946]

Heeramandi as a place can be in Pakistan, but these cultural influences & language is Urdu culture- from Awadh (esp Lucknow) & western Uttar Pradesh, India, not Lahore or Pakistan.

[@MultiAlexa23]

Minor factual correction: This is when mother INDIA was in its original state during British Rule and before breaking a piece of it to bring Pakistan, its child country to existence

[@h2r849]

It's amazing how every time the pre-partition subcontinent is mentioned it's always assumed to be current-day India. Pakistan and Bangladesh are never part of the conversation 😂

[@h2r849]

@@MultiAlexa23 The Hindu leaders were smart to take the name India after partition. There is no parent or child country. This "mother India" was broken into 2 parts and that's it.

[@MultiAlexa23]

@@h2r849 Because you guys didn’t exist before India’s partition.

[@RG-un2vl]

Since this involves the Indian revolutionary movement, hope SLB keeps history accurate unlike his other movies and doesn’t take too many ‘creative liberties’ .

[@Kamalsunilkumar421]

0:39 sanjay leela bhansali is the james Cameroon of indian cinema, his film black, baazirao mastani, padmawat, devdas is the master piece of indian cinema larger than life

[@CRAFTGENICS.03]

And the best thing about SLB PRODUCTION is that everything is real,nothing is vfx its alll real manmade sets....he spended 2000 millions for heeramandi....all his movies are filmed on sets...

[@nostalgiclovetunes4145]

This series deserves to be Nominated in Emmys and Goldenglobe ❤❤ SLB hatts off.

[@ananyamajumder4235]

He is also the best director to portray feminism. All his female leads r so powerful infact all his movies r mostly female centric.

The music video he is referencing is Malhari. It's a dance scene before they go to war :) Also interesting to note that the subtitles of the trailer are slightly different than they have been in the actual show. The trailer subtitles seem a bit more nuanced.

[@kartiksharma7674]

I believe Sanjay Leela Bhansali's best work was BLACK! There were none of his usual tropes like grand sets, romance storyline, handsome heroes, beautiful heroines! It doesn't even have any songs or dance numbers!! Yet it won the biggest awards that year!

[@dionneappuhamyge25]

I watched the entire series and it was a masterpiece. The acting, the costumes and the storyline is fantastic. Except Sharmin the rest of the cast acted insanely well ❤️❤️❤️

Surprisingly, so many shots and the grandeur is from the old movie Pakeezah, if you were amazed by the details of the dancer then watch the song "inhi logo ne le leena dupatta mera" from Pakeezah, you would know where is this inspired from
