About “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar”

Netflix India provided a glimpse into the series, describing it as follows: “Arch nemeses Mallikajaan and Fareedan are locked in a battle for succession of Heeramandi, where courtesans reign as queens. The only hope is young Alam, Mallikajaan’s youngest daughter. But what happens when Alam relinquishes power and chooses the love of one man over the adulation of many? Set in pre-independent India against the backdrop of the freedom movement, ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ is an epic saga of love, power, betrayal, struggle, and, ultimately, freedom.”

Prerna Singh, CEO at Bhansali Productions, expressed, “As makers, the aspect of storytelling which we enjoy the most is being able to portray characters that are profound and flawed in their own way, and have viewers empathize with them regardless. Very soon, the doors to Heeramandi will open to one and all & you will get to see the magic that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has created with Heeramandi.”
