One of the most buzzing projects in the world of OTT is ‘Heeramandi’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ambitious period drama for Netflix. And now we finally have a release date for ‘Heeramandi’ on Netflix. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus ‘Heeramandi’ premieres on Netflix worldwide on 1st May, 2024.
Streaming giant Netflix chose a very unconventional way to announce the release date of Heeramandi – at a glittering, star-studded event held under the stars in Mumbai, via a spectacular drone show. Scores of lit drones took to the skies to reveal the release date for Heeramandi on Netflix.
Well, now that we have the Heeramandi release date, we just can’t wait for teasers, trailers and glimpses of the show. All of it will be revealed gradually in April, before the grand premiere of Heeramandi on 1st May, 2024.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s passion project, Heeramandi, is a period drama set in the backdrop of pre-partition Lahore. The show will explore stories of courtesans and the hidden cultural reality of Heeramandi, a dazzling district, during pre-independent India. It’s a series about love, betrayal, succession and politics in the kothas of Heeramandi.
The official synopsis of Heeramandi from Netflix reads – “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. 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.”
The series stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sharmin Segal, among others. Manisha Koirala plays Mallikajaan, and Sonakshi Sinha plays Fareedan. Heeramandi is written, directed and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
