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.

Director Puri Jagannadh and actor Ram Pothineni have reunited for the sequel to their hit film “Ismart Shankar”, titled “Double Ismart”. The highly anticipated movie has been generating significant buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting its release.

While the initial announcement in November promised the film’s arrival within 100 days, the release date was postponed. The shooting, however, has recently commenced in Mumbai with a crucial and lengthy schedule involving the lead cast. This schedule is expected to wrap up a major portion of the film’s shoot.

“Double Ismart” promises double the action, mass, and entertainment compared to its predecessor. Veteran composer Mani Sharma is on board for the music, while Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt plays a pivotal role named “Big Bull”.

With Hollywood cinematographer Gianni Giannelli and action choreographer Kecha on board, “Double Ismart” is shaping up to be a high-voltage action entertainer.
