Netflix's New Show Heeramandi Review

[@nishavasudevan]

His strategy was always this how to divert the attention of viewers on the beauty of sets and heroines so that script, dialogue and acting could be average. But in a lengthy show like webseries he got exposed

[@Besties591]

But acting was great! Better than Gangubai and Padmavat

[@virferind7946]

I don't think he had done it intentionally as a tactic to cover up his limitations in the story. He might have worked over his script very well in his own right, but some viewers are finding it 'lacking in storyline' while others are just fine with it! Its a matter of the differences in perception of various minds!

[@prayatnsingh3694]

You know the show was great although slow till 4-5 episodes. I would be more interested in Manisha Koirala vs Sonakshi sinha battle rather than fight against British.

[@virferind7946]

But that part made us aware of the sacrifices of Tawaifs in India's freedom struggle. Most of us didn't think Tawaifs had any role in the battle for independence before watching this series!

[@twilightincosmos]

@@virferind7946 so tht should be the core concept and not the end part...just showing the freedom fight in the last couple of minutes doesnt do any justice

[@virferind7946]

@@twilightincosmos Yeah that's true, but the series at least touched this rare topic, others are not even doing that much! Tawaif is a complex character- she's an entertainer, a poetess, a dancer, a singer, a fashionist, an astute lady, a partner, a friend, a prudent advisor, a teacher of manners, a feminist, a social reformer, a manipulative vamp, a mistress and as we've seen a rebellious freedom fighter! So a character with such varied shades require a diverse plot, maybe that's a reason the plot is so full of other details!

[@IndaprabhaGupta-bk1xy]

Better to watch the different reviews of heeramandi rather than the actual movie, so entertaining and full of witty humour.

[@sweetyvlogs4394]

True

[@virferind7946]

Some of them are criticising Heeramandi out of proportion. But thankfully some others are giving a pretty balance criticism as well.

[@virferind7946]

The series is overall good, but its not advisable to see it in one stretch. Can be seen 2 episodes a day. Its a visual masterpiece though.

[@virferind7946]

First episode is slow but it catches pace later. Overall its a good series.

[@neilnicco]

I think people in India are finding it boring because it is repetitive at this point - we have seen this expression from SLB many times before. We have seen the narrative as well (Gangu Bai) and we have seen the sets and symmetry. This show would not have been “boring” had we not already been familiar with his work. It is well put together and executed, I think, as it has many layered characters and interesting interweaves. Some performances fell short - but some shone bright too (Manisha, Sonakshi) while everyone who wore contacts had this glazed, far away, vacant look that SLB seems obsessed with (he told Deepika once he hired her because she had this look in her eyes when they met - she had a cold then).

[@ArSh4infinity]

Even if we were not used to the grandeur could we have gotten used to the slow pace? GoT episodes used to be an hour more. Never had I said that “kya hi dekh rahe hain”! This show could have been a movie - then I may not have found it boring due to the run time and not cared about the script with the grandeur making up for the lack of story. 8 ghante dungi toh kuch toh Acha hona chahiye. I could not watch past episode 3.

[@sadafrafiq5006]

First difference is gangu bai was not a tawaif but a prostitute.. As per these history tawaif were also good in singing classical dancing expressions poetry etc.. these were completely vanished after independence because they were dependent on nawabs and big zamindars only and they were banned after independence.and were converted into red light area... If u remember devdas movie.. chandramukhi was a tawaif and her haveli etc

[@virferind7946]

@@sadafrafiq5006 I appreciate your opinion in this regard. And you quite correctly pointed out that in Gangubai it was a Veshya while here its a Tawaif. There's a world difference between these two! Additionally, Gangubai was based on Social Reform while Heeramandi is about Indian Freedom Struggle. That's quite different! Tawaifs were primarily the entertainers (like Geisha of Japan). Trained in Hindustani Classical music, Kathak dance & Urdu poetry. They were known for their manners, children from elite families used to learn adab from them. Their relationships were as per their choices & preferences. Unfortunately, it all changed during British Raaj. Some people are working to preserve the songs & dances of Tawaifs in India (like Guru Manjari Chaturvedi).

[@virferind7946]

I liked it very much, but some people are finding it boring mainly becoz of the slow pace (which gets faster in later episodes) not becoz we've seen a "similar" topic earlier. Gangubai was a different character altogether. It was based on a Veshya & Social Reform while Heeramandi is about Tawaif & Indian Freedom Struggle. These two are not even superficially similar.

[@virferind7946]

@@ArSh4infinity Yeah, maybe, but most importantly this series brought up a topic which most of us were totally unaware of- Tawaif's contribution in the Indian Freedom Movement. That's a huge point in favour of this series!

[@harshdeepjadeja936]

Manisha and aditi rao along with ustadji nailed it

[@nehavyas17]

Completely agreed with you i also forwarded that love story and yes nothing was connected small plots were there with loose ends. Also acting theatre wali thi! I found richa chanda the best but alas was not given that role. And the end was really abrupt!

[@farooqhaider9480]

Heeramandi is SLB ka aesthetics ka orgasm !! So beautiful so elegant !!

[@sabrinakhan8217]

Fake and based on ignorance. its not about Lahore but about Hyderabad, Ouadh or Lucknow. Please stick to subjects that pertain to India. Pakistani regions were part of British created India for less than 100 years, in its over 5000 years of history. Bharat is a lie concocted by Vivkenanda, Gwaliar, Arya Smaj, RSS etc schools of thought , in late 1800's. Under which all regions under British rule were hallucinated as one ancient Bharat that never existed. lol. No European, Russian, isreali, Japanese scholar, historian has ever verified the existent of Bharat. The term India was creation of Europeans for South Asian regions just like they created the word AFrica. You guys are totally ignorant about Pakistani regions, its race, culture, languages, geography and ethnic makeover. It seems like Sanjay ne apni budsurrat neice ko promote kerne ke liya Netflix ko loot liya hai.

[@suryavikramsingh77]

​@@sabrinakhan8217 ladies and gentlemen thats how a brainwashed and hatred filled person looks like, if you have ever read hindu scriptures/literary texts (which you have not read for sure ) you would be surprised to know that akhand bharat/ bharat has been mentioned since ages . Pakistan is nation created by elites of DELHI AND UTTAR PRADESH. URDU as a language was imposed on whole pakistan, punjabis in pakistan cannot read punjabi language , bangladesh was formed for the same reason that urdu was being forced on them. Pakistan has nothing of its own, kabhi aap turkish ho jaate ho , kabhi aap arabs ho jaate ho, bas aap pakistani nahi ban paate, you guys are scared of your medieveal history.

[@akshatjain4776]

Right,even I read somewhere that the rest of the episodes were directed by assistant directors under hi guidance, they went overboard and failed to make it crisp

[@diyashikha93]

I actually liked it, especially Satto-Phatto, Qudsia, Saima and Cartwright. They carried the show in addition to Sonakshi Sinha. Manisha Koirala too was good.

[@megha6865]

I cant comment on series because i couldn't even complete episode 1. But subject line for a 200 crore show should have been different which appeals to family audience of India. I think SLB chose this subject just to showcase his skills of interiors and costumes

[@krnsrth]

Every Bhansali effort is over the top and never reflects historical accuracy. Bajirao, others same story. Glamour overrides all else

[@virferind7946]

Yeah, but his cinematic liberty gave us some of the most memorable songs like Dola Re & Pinga. He made Lahore look like Lucknow in this series, since neither this kind of culture nor Urdu language had been native to Lahore, it was more like traditional Delhi or Lucknow. That made it look beautiful but historically incorrect! But the series was overall good, touching a rarely discussed topic of Tawaif's contribution in India's freedom struggle.

[@KristnaSaikiaBillFortuneEagle]

The show was good, poetic series and era is slow ... I didnt like Sanjay's neice Sharmin acting worst. Aditi rao is amazing actress, but her lipsing on songs were not good. All actors are good .Most are Jealous as India can make such lavish series..Manisha was very good not just thik thak. The show was real beauty and well shot. Heeramandi is a art piece

I agree with you. The young heroine whose love story is shown, she has done very bad acting. their plot as very dragged. I fast forwarded their many scenes and somehow finished the series and felt no emotions for it.

[@sd_pc]

I totally disagree with you. Watched it today. I can say sometimes it feels that episode is slow but not that much ki neend aa jaye. It's a one time watch with a good story in properly connected episodes. Acting of every single actor and actress(except Shermin) is remarkable. Romance, history, hate, etc were in proper proportion. :)
