Alia Bhatt's reaction on Heeramandi first-look
Heeramandi's first-look has ignited a frenzy online. The one-minute-eleven-second video has captivated not just the netizens, but even Bollywood A-listers. Alia Bhatt, for instance, shared the video on Instagram, describing it as "pure magic" and expressing her anticipation for the series.
Alia Bhatt's admiration for Sanjay Leela Bhansali
We all know how much Alia Bhatt adores Bhansali. She has always been very vocal about her admiration for the filmmaker, ever since she has done Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022). It was the first film in her career, where she was the only main lead, and it collected more than ₹200 crore at the box office. Not only that, Bhatt even received the National Award of India for the crime drama. It's really a significant moment in her life to receive such a prestigious accolade, after being highly trolled and receiving severe backlashes every now and then for marrying Ranbir Kapoor.
What does the Heeramandi first-look show?
The first-look of Heeramandi shows some tragic stories of love and betrayal in the lives of women who worked as dancers and entertainers in India when the country was under British rule. The video takes us to a beautiful castle called Heeramandi, and introduces us to these women (played by Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, Richa Chadha, and Sanjeeda Sheikh), and the people who came to cherish them. The story also happens during a very important time in India's history, when people were fighting for freedom from British rule.
Originally slated for 2023, Heeramandi will now grace our screens soon this year on Netflix. While the release date remains a secret, the wait promises to be worth it.
