Sanjay Leela Bhansali Fails On OTT With ‘Heeramandi’!

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, renowned for his grand visuals and artistic storytelling, ventured into the OTT space with his high-budget web series “Heeramandi.” Set in the pre-independence era, the series promised a visually stunning drama revolving around the lives of courtesans in Heeramandi.

While the trailer impressed audiences with its grandeur, the series itself has received mixed reviews.

On the positive side, Bhansali’s signature style shines through. The visuals are undeniably captivating, with meticulous attention to detail in camerawork, lighting, costumes, set design, and choreography.

However, the series falters in its screenplay. Bhansali’s focus on intricate details leads to a sluggish narrative, making it difficult for viewers to connect with the characters. This has resulted in disappointment among many viewers who invested over 7 hours in watching the series.

Critics suggest that Bhansali’s insistence on replicating his established visual style might be hindering him from exploring more contemporary and relevant themes.

Overall, “Heeramandi” appears to be a missed opportunity for Bhansali, falling short of expectations despite its visual brilliance.
