Renowned for his majestic signature flair in storytelling, Sanjay Leela Bhansali ventures into the realm of television with his much-anticipated multi-starrer series, Heeramandi.
Plotline:
Set amidst the power struggles among the courtesans of Heeramandi, Lahore (now Pakistan), and the emerging anti-colonial freedom movements of pre-independence India, the show promises an epic saga of love, power, betrayal, and ultimately, freedom.
The Netflix promo tantalizes audiences with glimpses of opulent sets, larger-than-life performances, and an intriguing storyline that delves into the lives of courtesans.

For Bhansali, storytelling and music go hand-in-hand, and he proves it once again with the launch of his music label, debuting with the first track from Heeramandi titled Sakal Ban. The track has been dropped, setting the stage for its grand entrance at the 71st Miss World pageant, hosted in India by the charismatic Karan Johar and former Miss World Megan Young.
Known for weaving magic with his musical compositions, Bhansali’s songs have played a significant role in his storytelling journey. From the glorious Mara Daala in Devdas to the enchanting Deewani Mastani in Bajirao Mastani, his music has left an unforgettable mark on Indian cinema.
This marks Bhansali’s foray into the music industry, where he plans to collaborate with musicians and artists to produce compositions for his shows and movies and for independent projects.
With a stellar cast featuring Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Sheikh, anticipation for Heeramandi is reaching fever pitch. Although the release dates are yet to be announced, the show’s impending arrival on Netflix has fans eagerly awaiting its debut.
