While there are several films and shows that are eagerly awaited across the globe, in India, there is no competitor at the moment for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The show that marks Sanjay Leela Bhansali's OTT debut is set in the days of yore, when Heeramandi stood tall with all its shine but hid some very dark secrets of the courtesans.
While the first look teaser, the posters, and the recently glimpsed scenes have created a massive buzz around the show, the makers have now released the first song from the album titled Sakal Ban and the visual grandeur will only make you fall in love with SLB’s art. The filmmaker who recently launched his music label, Bhansali Music has now released the first song under the same name on its YouTube channel.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s world is, of course, primarily about the grand vision the filmmaker endorses, but it is also about the music that for the past four projects, the filmmaker has been composing himself. Sakal Ban from Netflix’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar comes in as the latest addition to the list of musical gems given by the filmmaker. After announcing the song's release yesterday, the streamer and Bhansali, under his label Bhansali Music, have now shared the video for his latest song, Sakal Ban. And you cannot take your eyes off the song.
The song Sakal Ban is a traditional composition sung by Raja Hasan and penned by the legendary poet Amir Khusro. The music video features the ladies of Heeramandi as they welcome a distressed Sharmin Sehgal, who is upset for a reason we will only know once the show releases. The video begins with Richa Chadha dancing and progresses to the rest of them joining her. The grand set and the bright yellow costumes are a reminder of spring, as the song also talks about one. The music video shows a setup that is not just grand but visually scintillating. Check out the video below and immerse yourself in the world of Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is a show set to stream on Netflix soon and was created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The filmmaker will also be directing some episodes. It stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharmin Sehgal, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and an ensemble. The first look that was released gave us a glimpse of all the women and their strength in a space that tests them.
