This video is "SCREAMING" paid review. This guy who dissects into every minute details of a movies and series barely touched upon the horrible writing of the movie, and also he heavily criticizes the nepotism product of Bollywood (and rightfully so), but for some unknown reason he didn't even touch upon SHARMIN'S awful acting. She's way worse than Sara, Ananya, and Jhanvi combined, but he didn't utter a single word about her. Such a SUS behavior.
I'm so pissed Sharmin Segal was given so much screentime, she was the most boring female character in the entire show. I wanted to see more of Sonakshi, Shaheeda Sheikh, Richa Chadda and Manisha but instead we get a nepokid who has zero expressions being the main lead with her blank expression and botox getting most of the screentime. Such a shame really
Except For Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Niece. Everybody acted superbly. 🔥🔥. His Niece can't act for sure. Her love story angle was pulling the story down because of her acting. Straight face in all scenes
It might be entertaining to watch and i will watch it but honestly i am done with this glorification of prostitution most of these prostitutes lived tragic lives as they were held in human trafficking ring
Your review is confusing. At one point you’re saying wtf did I watch and it’s not worth it. At another you’re saying it’s a must watch. Pick a side buddy!
Kuch cheezein achi h kuch kharab h wahi baat hai na. Aur jab Sanjay Leela bhansali koi cheez direct karre ho to logo ki expectations zada hoti hai.. because he makes masterpieces. Maine abhi Tak nhi dekhi h .. but I'm keen to watch.
INACCURACIES OF HEERAMANDI: 1, coronavirus news of 2022 in 1920's newspaper fareedan was reading. 2, heeramandi set in punjab , bhansali used lakhnawi dresses for male and female instead of punjabi suits. 3. Umera ahmed novel of 2004 peer e kamil was shown in 1920's era, umera was not even born then 😂. 4. SLB couldn't get the cut of an englishman's suit. Those were either double breasted or 3 piece with waistcoat. 5, georgraphical inaccuracy of the landscape, some lake shown when there was none in actual lahore, The most evident landmark still visible from every building in today’s remnants of Heera Mandi is the Shahi Qilla-Grand Mosque’s doom and minarets skyline. If you call it Lahore, show Lahore." 6, alamzeb reading urdu book from left to right as if she was reading some English poem 😂 How can your creative genius let go of such major inaccuracies in this period drama. Lahore stilll exist and you can't take such creative liberties. The world will laugh lol 😂
Bro do you think usse pata nhi hoga but Shan ne multiple videos ki deal ki hogi. Ab pending promotion karke baat khatam karna chata hoga nhi company shan or case daal degi. So ..... understand it.
Lack of research and common sense, thy name is heeramandi. Story of Lahore (Punjab) and vibe of Lucknow just because tawaifs and nawabs were muslims ? Are all Muslims only lucknowi, hyderabadi and kashmiri and do they all talk in heavy Urdu ? No ! No one in Lahore would talk in this hum-aap Lucknow style even now, and definitely not in pre-independence time. SLB is merely a set designer not a moviemaker. And the way most people are calling it a masterpiece clearly shows that SLB knows his audience is a fool and thus he doesn't need to read history to make a historical film.
@@JS_ROSE2005 ??? I'm not talking about his review, I have heard him for the first time. I'm talking about how I also think that heeramandi is poorly made and researched, just like most of SLB's work. My points however are different than this reviewer's. This series touches new lows of idiocy of not knowing the time period and place in which it is placed.
You spoiled my mood in the end by disrespecting prostitution, you’re giving review when you haven’t understood series itself, it’s not about to glorying prostitution but it was about to tell the audience that we should respect prostitute because we can’t imagine what they go through in their life. What hell is “ galat hai ” they don’t have option to survive, do many of them has been sold for money, got have kidnapped, under the burden of responsibilities to feed their families , who will take care of their lives ?you? No right?Then who are you say prostitution galat hai ?
Dear Shan, this is the FIRST TIME EVER, I HAVE WATCHED A SHOW BEFORE and THEN WATCHED YOUR REVIEW! As much I love all of your reviews, this is the first time I'll disagree with you. I feel your review seems little biased this time. When I agreed with each point you said in ANIMAL Review (though it was too a glorification of a character but still we enjoyed watching it as entertainment rather than putting it in morality boxes) HOW CAN YOU SAY, IS IT WORTHT TO INVEST THIS MUCH IN THE GLORIFICATION OF TAWAIF CULTURE??? GREAT CONTRIBUTION OF THESE TAWAIFS IN INDIA'S FREEDOM FIGHT EXISTED, AND THAT'S TRUTH. KOTHAS were used for freedom fights, these women contributed for nation too. You also used words like 'Mughals'. This is the story based in British Indian time, where different Nawabs existed not Only from Mughal families. Also Freedom fight is essential part of the show which you didn't talk about or maybe IT SEEMED YOU DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. AND YES, IT'S NOT ONLY Mughals Or Nawaabs had Tawaifs Or such artists in their palaces and areas but each other Indian Kings too had such culture. Right from Kings of South India till Rajasthan. Even from the time of Peshwas 'Budhwar Peth' existed where prostitutes were kept, and it is still there in Pune, which is shown in 'Bajirao mastani' as well. I smell religious biases in this video shaan. Sorry to say! Show is amazing amazing. Even the story ❤it's not glorification but just great Entertainment focuses on a part of society back then
Alamzeb spoiled the series with her single expression throughout the series. It was very disturbing every time we saw her in the screen. But why Shantanu didn't pull out this fact?? Is he scared of her background contacts? Salman se nahi dara to isse kyu dar gya bhai? She disappointed us with her acting and you disappointed us with your baised review.

@@kapiljain1491 I didn't decide but he decided in his previous video... Watch that video before commenting, weird how this TH-camrs always manipulating their followers and doesn't have any stand on any topic
1:26 Not just that. But thousands of innocent hindu women from other parts of India were kidnapped and sold here against their will as well. Harsh punishment if they disobeyed. A lot of people overlook this fact in an attempt to glamorise it.
Honestly, its a masterpiece and I couldnt stop binge watching the show. Clean and very entertaining content, sensitive depiction of the life of courtesans in the bygone era. Its a must watch!
Tawaif or prostitution me difference hota tha pehle,, tawaif art me mastered hoti thi classical singing and dancing me, unka politics chlta rhta tha, physical relation consensual hota tha jb vo log freedom fighters ko ko nawabo or raja k diye paiso se help krti thi or secrets share krti thi or apne yha chhupne me help krti thi fir britishers ne unke saare mahal jabt kr liye or sexual harassment krne lge or rebellions ko help krne me unhe marne b lge the fir paise na hone ki vjh se unhe prostitution ko apnana pda... is series me i feel thoda or ache se present kr skte the is cheez ko...
Tawaif is a term used in South Asia, particularly in India, to refer to a courtesan,A courtesan is a prostitute with a courtly, wealthy, or upper-class clientele. Historically, the term referred to a courtier, a person who attended the court of a monarch or other powerful person.
I don't think Tawwaifs were glorified at all. It presented the reality of courtesans in that period. Nobody said Malikajaan was correct; the show constantly showed how egotistic and selfish she was. I mean, she kills her own sister, sells other girls, controls her daughter, and so much more. Even Fareedan used Alamzeb as a pawn in her plan, betrayed her country and told the British to raid Tajdar's house. If you think the series showed tawwaifs in a positive light, then you completely missed the point of it.
First of all, there is a big difference between prostitution and the tawaif (courtesan) culture. So, NO. This was NOT a show glorifying prostitutes. Read some history and do some basic research before mixing the two. I have shot a documentary in the red-light area and I come from the land of Nawabs as well, so I can straightaway disregard your argument of Heeramandi glorifying prostitutes. India always had the courtesan culture, it's the British who misused and exploited them as prostitutes and corrupted the culture with this poison that women are still suffering from. The story of Heeramandi is simple - how courtesans in Lahore lived during the turbulent times of India's independence struggle. So that's why it was important to show the freedom movement in the background, I thought it was common sense to figure out. There are loopholes in the show, I agree, but definitely not the ones you have mentioned. I didn't find a single episode boring or dragged and it hooked me right from the beginning till the end.
@@Nwl079 offcourse if animal was showing the real life of a boy had issues, then this web series too showed the real history of women struggle. Why so offended haa ?? 😂
Why no metion about the expressionless performance of Sharmin Segal? After the unclear plot, it was her performance that let the show down. Ek hi to love story thi, usme bhi aap emote na karein to kya faayda. She had a wide range of emotions to cover from innocence to love to betrayal to revenge. She delivered nothing.
The story getting predictable by the second half, but manisha koirala, and surprisingly sonakshi held everything together till the last episode. A good one time watch
Salam he Sanjay Leela Bhansali ko 🫡 Not a single female protagonist was hurt in the filming of Heeramandi series. However, 'Urdu' was royally screwed throughout the series 😹
Am I the only on who felt Bhansali only repeated what he does and there was nothing new.. few dialogues, shorts and even camera angles were a repeate. He is known for his grand sets,costumes and Jewellery. But honestly the jewellries looked cheap, sets were a repeat and costumes were nothing different.. am I the only one who felt this?
SLB has always shown interest in including atleast one character of prostitute in his movies. Now making an entire show on prostitution is another whole level!! I'm dumbstruck.
I have a question: Why he doesn’t make a movie on Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji and other countless epic warriors ? Not only them there are countless people and ideas he can make a movie on .. why this ? Is it not obvious what’s going on in industry ?
@@1786argha chalo maan liya wo aisi movie banaata bi hai .. but a couple of days ago I saw 4 children watching this movie on their phone.. imagine what they are learning from this .. ( one of them was saying to the other : seekh le aage chalke mehnat karni padegi ).. then why it is shocking for people when this same child grows up to become a rapist ?
He Destroyed image of peshva Bajirao pan india because of wrongly potrail of bajirao's character and family drama. In reality Bajirao peshva was veer yoddha and fought so many battles and increased maratha samrajya
Shan! You are my favourite Bollywood critic, but as a native Urdu speaker, I politely disagree with your praise on how good urdu has been spoken in this series, especially when you praised them on correctly pronouncing their "KHAAs". Speaking Urdu precisely is much more than than that. The characters were even pronouncing 'khaas', where they didn't need to. For instance: Khadardaan (it's Qadardaan) Nikhaah (it's simply Nikaah) One character says "is aag ko aur dhudhuknaa hoga" (it's deheknaa) All characters throughout the entire series were hit & and miss with their delivery of Urdu language. SLB clearly didn't hire any credible Urdu language consultants.
This is true..Glorification of exploitation of women in worst way should not be shown.Rather work should be done to show some positive solutions to this age old practice of exploitation.
You're correct, the story dragged on, and I ended up fast-forwarding through some parts. The actresses, especially Aditi Rao Hydari, delivered outstanding performances.
I would like to say that the idea of a 'tawaif' and that of a 'prostitute' are not the same. The point that you are making very much comes out of the Victorian values that was kind of imposed on India during the British colonization. And in the premodern period, these 'kotha's had patronisation from the Nawabs, which when later stopped, led to the brothelisation of these magnificent cultural arenas of India. The position of the tawaifs in the premodern period was much more dignified and principalised than that where they finally were forced to descend after the advent of British process of the 'civilising mission'.
Jab Animal ki baat thi tab big budget, star, story, concept everything were good in name of cinema and art but when it comes to prostituttion you have concern about what should be shown on big screen.
It's a fictionalized representation of that particular part of Indian history. Enjoy it as a show. Don't lecture on how historically inaccurate this show is. We all know it's not 100% accurate. I loved it and I give it 9/10.
If the name Sanjay Leela Bhansali attached with any project That project will be worth watching for sure Then stories and all doesn’t matter SLB this name is enough 💯🔥
Saying ALL women nailed their parts is an insult to the talents of manisha, richa, sona, farida... Come on man have the guts to criticize Sharmin... Or at least individually mention only the actresses who actually acted so well instead of saying what you said... This reeks of you either being PAID by SLB's team to not criticize Sharmin or actually not watching the show and merely giving your two cents about it! Also, your thumbnail for this review is VERY misleading! Didn't expect such a biased and sugarcoated "review" from you! 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
The show is world class and acting by everyone is superb except the actress who played Alam. Sets are beautiful, dance is beautiful and Manisha koirala surprises. I feel Madhuri also would have been excellent choice for the same role.
I do agree with you the visuals aesthetics and sinha’s acting in this was a treat to watch the costumes are just *chef’s kisses* after few episodes it does get boring and predictable although i liked how each character has their own dark sides, stories and depth like sanjeeda sheikh and richa chadda’s character, i was expecting more of them more then the story the characters got me hooked
Thanks to *Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj* from saving womens from the clutches of Prostitution.. Jab tak woh thee aurte ke sar ka pallu aur mardo ka janehu salamat rehta thaa 😎🤏🚩🕉️❤️🇮🇳💕🛕🔱📿

You didn't seem to touch important subject - Alamzeb bakwaas acting, uska lover is equally bad actor. Richa a good actor, her role was so small whereas bad actors like Sonakshi and Alamzeb (nepotistic folks) were given central characters. Puke
Sir why have you not mentioned the expressionless and dumb acting of Sharmin,how she ruined this series and why you have not called out that she is a by product of nepotism. You have a problem with Sara Ali khan babil Khan but you don't have problem with Deepika Padukone of pathaan and Sharmin of Heera mandi.kudos to your rationality
His passion lies in storytelling, and his unique style permeates every narrative, be it about a spiritual monk or a woman of the night. The time and effort he pours in ensures his voice remains consistent. It might be a concept that challenges your social norms, but that's often the beauty of art. Stories can take many forms, and his unique approach remains consistent....expand your mind buddy
I just finished the series. Overall it’s a triumph, what a visual and artistic delight! But some of the characters were poorly written. Waheeda’s character was half baked. Wali’s character was one dimensional and Fareedan’s sudden change of heart was bad writing. Bibbojaan and Alamzeb are the standout characters in the show, but Sharmin’s performance was underwhelming. Overall I enjoyed it!
at this point bhansali is making movies to show audience his visual aesthetics rather than other way around!! btw if u randomly take out one shot from heeramandi u can't tell if it's from heeramandi or gangubai or padmavat. they all hv same fucking color grading and cosstumes in some scenes. he is fetishing over his vis aestheics to the pointn show is fuckin boring!!
Sir Mughal Era end in 1857 and this was1900s...and stop saying that the courtesan were not in just from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan the unfortunate one also from India there so called relatives sold them sometimes they were abducted and sold here....
@@thambisan yes but still its unofficial officially it ended in 1857 after the war of independence captured the last mughal king BHADUR SHAH ZAFAR and killed his sons so yeah officially it ended in 1857 but there is only 6nobels kings from BABAR(1526) TO AURANGZEB(1707)

Boring, time waste, Bad story....Only Manisha mam's acting and visuals grate in the series. Kyu nhi hogi Netflix ko 200 Cr ka chuna jo laga diya SLB ne😂😂 Par phir bhi isko ya series itna acha lag gaya...pata nhi kaise!!

I watched lots of well known reviewer reviews on it , most of are saying Hirmandi is shit...but man I watched all episodes and what a series just sent you in different era..it's a masterpiece...every scene , every frame, love story, songs...just wow ....thumbs up for your geniune review..
You should really look into the Monkey Man, it truly is a master piece its really underrated. A simple story revenge story, but the way it is woven makes the cinematography,the action the mythological element.Its truly a marvel.
I do agree, the thrills all happen in the first 3-4 episodes. But the last part really makes you emotional. And i know there were a lot of loopholes in climax. For example i dont think those women could overpower the British police. But thik hai, itna compromise to kar hi sakta hai hum, or at least main.
I finished this web series right now. Everything is very good. But Sonakshi sinha ke character ka achanak se negative se positive ho jana is series ki sabse badi kami hai
Spoiler: Still not as weird as Manisha Koirala ka character suddenly positive ho jana. Atleast Fareedan didn't harm any innocent intentionally, the people whom she killed or fooled as a teenager were already bad people. But Mallikajaan was pure evil.
When I first saw the scene featuring Sharmin Segal Mehta in "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar," directed by the renowned Sanjay Leela Bhansali, I was thrilled. However, this excitement stemmed more from Bhansali's choice to cast Segal Mehta than from her acting itself. Unfortunately, Sharmin Segal Mehta's portrayal of the main character fell short of expectations. Her acting lacked the depth and nuance necessary for such a significant role. Her facial expressions and voice failed to convey the emotions required, and her physical appearance, including her eyes and lips, did not seem to fit the character's essence. This is not to say that Sharmin Segal Mehta is devoid of talent, but she might be better suited for different roles. Perhaps she could shine in a side villain role, similar to those in "Naagin" serials or "Saas-Bahu" dramas, where her style might be more fitting. Ironically, Segal Mehta's performance inadvertently highlighted the exceptional skills of her co-stars. Her lackluster acting made their performances stand out even more. Despite this, the overall direction by Sanjay Leela Bhansali was excellent, and the story itself was compelling and beautifully executed. In summary, while the film boasts strong performances from the majority of its cast and benefits from Bhansali's masterful direction, Sharmin Segal Mehta's acting did not meet the high standards set by her peers and the director. This contrast, however, only served to enhance the viewing experience by emphasizing the professionalism and talent of the other actors involved.
I loved watching it.. itna khoobsurat h sab kuch itna larger than life itna grand .. lekin ye smjh bhi unhe ayega Jo art ko jante Hai.. language dialogue voice art dance visuals ki Jo smjh rkhte hain unke liye ye ek masterpiece hai.. lekin yes.. teen different angles me chalane ki koshish ki gyi hai . Vo thoda messed up ho gya . Tawaif politics fir love story fir freedom movement ..
Watching more of your video...a tawaif is not a prostitute! Just like a geisha isnt a prostitute. This comment was so uninformed didn't expect this from you.
You are so right! Just watched the first four episodes. I was loving it so far , the ladies are phenomenal… but it gets boring and predictable 😢

Real Hera Mandi should sue Bhansali, Netflix to lut gaya. Sanjay Leela Bhansali never respect real history.
Is it now. Are girls there cute
Bhai Real Heermandi me toh aata nahi mil raha 😂 ghanta law suit file karenge
Koi legal right waise bhi nahi hai. Kisi person ka asli name thodi use Kiya. Sirf jagah ke naam se case nahi ho sakta
I don't think Tawwaifs were glorified at all. It presented the reality of courtesans in that period. Nobody said Malikajaan was correct; the show constantly showed how egotistic and selfish she was. I mean, she kills her own sister, sells other girls, controls her daughter, and so much more. Even Fareedan used Alamzeb as a pawn in her plan, betrayed her country and told the British to raid Tajdar's house. If you think the series showed tawwaifs in a positive light, then you completely missed the point of it.
First of all, there is a big difference between prostitution and the tawaif (courtesan) culture. So, NO. This was NOT a show glorifying prostitutes. Read some history and do some basic research before mixing the two. I have shot a documentary in the red-light area and I come from the land of Nawabs as well, so I can straightaway disregard your argument of Heeramandi glorifying prostitutes. India always had the courtesan culture, it's the British who misused and exploited them as prostitutes and corrupted the culture with this poison that women are still suffering from. The story of Heeramandi is simple - how courtesans in Lahore lived during the turbulent times of India's independence struggle. So that's why it was important to show the freedom movement in the background, I thought it was common sense to figure out. There are loopholes in the show, I agree, but definitely not the ones you have mentioned. I didn't find a single episode boring or dragged and it hooked me right from the beginning till the end.

Yeah like now where did his freedom of choice went he kept defending Animal when it was showing really toxic and problematic stuff 😏 Double-standards
@@Nwl079 offcourse if animal was showing the real life of a boy had issues, then this web series too showed the real history of women struggle. Why so offended haa ?? 😂
Why no metion about the expressionless performance of Sharmin Segal? After the unclear plot, it was her performance that let the show down. Ek hi to love story thi, usme bhi aap emote na karein to kya faayda. She had a wide range of emotions to cover from innocence to love to betrayal to revenge. She delivered nothing.
Soo true!!
Sach mein yrrr heeramandi ki sabse galat cast mein Alamzeb ka character hua h so disappointed
Trueeeeee
Deliver kiya na. Same thopda for all the range of expression. Shayad botox filler zyada laga liye. Kartina kaif acting kar leti hai.

Bhaiya fact check : Mughal era ended in 1857.
Exactly
The story getting predictable by the second half, but manisha koirala, and surprisingly sonakshi held everything together till the last episode. A good one time watch
Salam he Sanjay Leela Bhansali ko 🫡
Not a single female protagonist was hurt in the filming of Heeramandi series. However, 'Urdu' was royally screwed throughout the series 😹
Am I the only on who felt Bhansali only repeated what he does and there was nothing new.. few dialogues, shorts and even camera angles were a repeate. He is known for his grand sets,costumes and Jewellery. But honestly the jewellries looked cheap, sets were a repeat and costumes were nothing different.. am I the only one who felt this?
Yes you are the only because you are wrong.
😢
Yes u r the only one

SLB has always shown interest in including atleast one character of prostitute in his movies. Now making an entire show on prostitution is another whole level!! I'm dumbstruck.
I have a question:
Why he doesn’t make a movie on Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji and other countless epic warriors ? Not only them there are countless people and ideas he can make a movie on .. why this ?
Is it not obvious what’s going on in industry ?
Usme ladki bazi nahi hai to nahi banaega … isko har yodha ki story ne sirf love story hi samajh aata hai
Whenever he made movies on them, like Bajirao or Padmavat, he got struck with controversy
@@1786argha chalo maan liya wo aisi movie banaata bi hai .. but a couple of days ago I saw 4 children watching this movie on their phone.. imagine what they are learning from this .. ( one of them was saying to the other : seekh le aage chalke mehnat karni padegi )..
then why it is shocking for people when this same child grows up to become a rapist ?
He Destroyed image of peshva Bajirao pan india because of wrongly potrail of bajirao's character and family drama. In reality Bajirao peshva was veer yoddha and fought so many battles and increased maratha samrajya

Shan! You are my favourite Bollywood critic, but as a native Urdu speaker, I politely disagree with your praise on how good urdu has been spoken in this series, especially when you praised them on correctly pronouncing their "KHAAs". Speaking Urdu precisely is much more than than that. The characters were even pronouncing 'khaas', where they didn't need to.
For instance:
Khadardaan (it's Qadardaan)
Nikhaah (it's simply Nikaah)
One character says "is aag ko aur dhudhuknaa hoga" (it's deheknaa)
All characters throughout the entire series were hit & and miss with their delivery of Urdu language. SLB clearly didn't hire any credible Urdu language consultants.
This is true..Glorification of exploitation of women in worst way should not be shown.Rather work should be done to show some positive solutions to this age old practice of exploitation.
🗿Muslims are much more cultured , educated and respected then Hindu peoples
You're correct, the story dragged on, and I ended up fast-forwarding through some parts. The actresses, especially Aditi Rao Hydari, delivered outstanding performances.
I would like to say that the idea of a 'tawaif' and that of a 'prostitute' are not the same. The point that you are making very much comes out of the Victorian values that was kind of imposed on India during the British colonization. And in the premodern period, these 'kotha's had patronisation from the Nawabs, which when later stopped, led to the brothelisation of these magnificent cultural arenas of India. The position of the tawaifs in the premodern period was much more dignified and principalised than that where they finally were forced to descend after the advent of British process of the 'civilising mission'.
Perfectly said 👍🏻
Heermandi was notorious for its sex and sex workers and bhansali nai usku revolution ka fortress bana diya 😂😂😂

Jab Animal ki baat thi tab big budget, star, story, concept everything were good in name of cinema and art but when it comes to prostituttion you have concern about what should be shown on big screen.

you did not say anything about alamzeb's acting ... why???
Everyone was brilliant in this series except Alam! She was literally annoying af💀
She had 🙂 face throughout
It's a fictionalized representation of that particular part of Indian history. Enjoy it as a show. Don't lecture on how historically inaccurate this show is. We all know it's not 100% accurate. I loved it and I give it 9/10.
If the name Sanjay Leela Bhansali attached with any project
That project will be worth watching for sure
Then stories and all doesn’t matter
SLB this name is enough 💯🔥
Sharmin Segal and her boring blank expression made it insufferable.
Small correction ab Hiramandi Lahore pakistan say bhi khatam ker diya gaya he. I am a regular viewer and love your show .
Respect form Lahore❤
I think u are giving paid review heeramandi show is just nonsense
It is very good especially the love story of Taajdaar and Alamzeb , Taha nailed the character of Taaj.
Dude that's the worst part of the show 😑😑
It is NOT Mughal era. It’s British era !!!

kitne paise mile bhai, for not commenting on SLB's Niece and character Alamzeb.....watched the show because of you and disappointed
who'll give him money? Bhansali?
Not a word on character Alamzeb 😂😂 and the actors pathetic acting, PR of Bhansali definitely knows him.
Saying ALL women nailed their parts is an insult to the talents of manisha, richa, sona, farida... Come on man have the guts to criticize Sharmin... Or at least individually mention only the actresses who actually acted so well instead of saying what you said... This reeks of you either being PAID by SLB's team to not criticize Sharmin or actually not watching the show and merely giving your two cents about it! Also, your thumbnail for this review is VERY misleading! Didn't expect such a biased and sugarcoated "review" from you! 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
clearly a paid review
Richa Chadha was robbed of screen time. I was hoping more from her. 😭
Pls don't promote apps like astrotalk
Thank you for raising the last point.
Glorification of prostitution is not commendable
Same was done in gangubai
Alamzeb's face throughout the series 😐
Actually... someone finally says this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Alamzeb apne chehre pe same expression kaise manage kar leti hain. Roye, muskuraye, gussa hoye, dar Jaye, uska muh waise ka waise hi Hai.
True ! Everytime she stood like wooden block 😢
True😅
she was so irritating others were so good and she 🙄🙄🙄🙄
The show is world class and acting by everyone is superb except the actress who played Alam.
Sets are beautiful, dance is beautiful and Manisha koirala surprises. I feel Madhuri also would have been excellent choice for the same role.
I do agree with you the visuals aesthetics and sinha’s acting in this was a treat to watch the costumes are just *chef’s kisses* after few episodes it does get boring and predictable although i liked how each character has their own dark sides, stories and depth like sanjeeda sheikh and richa chadda’s character, i was expecting more of them more then the story the characters got me hooked

You didn't seem to touch important subject - Alamzeb bakwaas acting, uska lover is equally bad actor. Richa a good actor, her role was so small whereas bad actors like Sonakshi and Alamzeb (nepotistic folks) were given central characters. Puke

Sir why have you not mentioned the expressionless and dumb acting of Sharmin,how she ruined this series and why you have not called out that she is a by product of nepotism. You have a problem with Sara Ali khan babil Khan but you don't have problem with Deepika Padukone of pathaan and Sharmin of Heera mandi.kudos to your rationality

It is not glorification of Prostitution....just a content...

His passion lies in storytelling, and his unique style permeates every narrative, be it about a spiritual monk or a woman of the night. The time and effort he pours in ensures his voice remains consistent. It might be a concept that challenges your social norms, but that's often the beauty of art. Stories can take many forms, and his unique approach remains consistent....expand your mind buddy
calm down again I'm saying calm down, it's just a show created for entertainment purposes, it's not a documentary. still calm down.

I just finished the series. Overall it’s a triumph, what a visual and artistic delight! But some of the characters were poorly written. Waheeda’s character was half baked. Wali’s character was one dimensional and Fareedan’s sudden change of heart was bad writing. Bibbojaan and Alamzeb are the standout characters in the show, but Sharmin’s performance was underwhelming. Overall I enjoyed it!
at this point bhansali is making movies to show audience his visual aesthetics rather than other way around!! btw if u randomly take out one shot from heeramandi u can't tell if it's from heeramandi or gangubai or padmavat. they all hv same fucking color grading and cosstumes in some scenes. he is fetishing over his vis aestheics to the pointn show is fuckin boring!!
Sir Mughal Era end in 1857 and this was1900s...and stop saying that the courtesan were not in just from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan the unfortunate one also from India there so called relatives sold them sometimes they were abducted and sold here....
Mugjal Era ended with Aurangzeb. From 1719 onwards Mughals paid chauth to Marathas and from 1757 after battle of Plassey British Era began.
@@thambisan yes but still its unofficial officially it ended in 1857 after the war of independence captured the last mughal king BHADUR SHAH ZAFAR and killed his sons so yeah officially it ended in 1857 but there is only 6nobels kings from BABAR(1526) TO AURANGZEB(1707)
Mujhe Sonakshi (Fareedan) aur Manisha koirala (huzoor) ki rivalry bohot sahi lagi.

You should really look into the Monkey Man, it truly is a master piece its really underrated. A simple story revenge story, but the way it is woven makes the cinematography,the action the mythological element.Its truly a marvel.
This guy dont have enough knowledge and wanna review lol😂
I do agree, the thrills all happen in the first 3-4 episodes. But the last part really makes you emotional. And i know there were a lot of loopholes in climax. For example i dont think those women could overpower the British police. But thik hai, itna compromise to kar hi sakta hai hum, or at least main.
No laptop means positive review😂
I finished this web series right now. Everything is very good. But Sonakshi sinha ke character ka achanak se negative se positive ho jana is series ki sabse badi kami hai
Spoiler: Still not as weird as Manisha Koirala ka character suddenly positive ho jana. Atleast Fareedan didn't harm any innocent intentionally, the people whom she killed or fooled as a teenager were already bad people. But Mallikajaan was pure evil.
this is the most crass show I have ever seen. what a pathetic wrong review!
I agree. The story isn't so strong or gripping. I was also upset that someone as superbly talented as Richa Chadha had such a small role.
When I first saw the scene featuring Sharmin Segal Mehta in "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar," directed by the renowned Sanjay Leela Bhansali, I was thrilled. However, this excitement stemmed more from Bhansali's choice to cast Segal Mehta than from her acting itself.
Unfortunately, Sharmin Segal Mehta's portrayal of the main character fell short of expectations. Her acting lacked the depth and nuance necessary for such a significant role. Her facial expressions and voice failed to convey the emotions required, and her physical appearance, including her eyes and lips, did not seem to fit the character's essence.
This is not to say that Sharmin Segal Mehta is devoid of talent, but she might be better suited for different roles. Perhaps she could shine in a side villain role, similar to those in "Naagin" serials or "Saas-Bahu" dramas, where her style might be more fitting.
Ironically, Segal Mehta's performance inadvertently highlighted the exceptional skills of her co-stars. Her lackluster acting made their performances stand out even more. Despite this, the overall direction by Sanjay Leela Bhansali was excellent, and the story itself was compelling and beautifully executed.
In summary, while the film boasts strong performances from the majority of its cast and benefits from Bhansali's masterful direction, Sharmin Segal Mehta's acting did not meet the high standards set by her peers and the director. This contrast, however, only served to enhance the viewing experience by emphasizing the professionalism and talent of the other actors involved.
