Heera mandi 3.5/5
Brilliant cast and massive sets to the gripping storyline, the series is a visual treat
Set in the 1940s, this series revolves around the lives of tawaifs in the red-light district of Lahore’s Heera Mandi. It features Manisha Koirala as Mallika Jaan as the main character and She is fearless and shrewd, Sonakshi Sinha as Fareedan one who scare Mallika, Aditi Rao Hydari as Bibbojaan as who joins the freedom movement is in fact a very powerful role, Richa Chadha Lajjo Jaan, Sharmin Segal as Alamzeb, Fardeen Khan, Shekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, and Sanjeeda Sheikh in key roles in crucial roles.
Disappointed till the first 3 episode! Neither is it building up into a story nor the needed drama. It’s goes again and again in flash back
Post the 4 episode the story becomes Interesting. It has too many stories within it love story, independence, freedom movement,
story of a Tawaif
I liked the dialogue “Heeramandi mein Angrezon ka nahi… Mallikajan ka sikka chalta hai!”
This explores the uncharted territory, delving into raw human emotions and exploring themes of freedom, love, brothels, and jealousy with profound depth.
Last episode brides surreal sequence, a funeral meeting transforms into an impromptu freedom song, via death likened to a nation gaining ‘azaadi
They wanted to break free from their cages. Living in these golden cages, they understood the value of freedom. History forgot their sacrifices. The society didn’t remember them, nor did the country.
Sorry a short review but too much to write
A good watch but with lots of patience
Good job Sanjay Leela B
