My Review of Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's movie 'Heera Mandi '
Now on Netflix
When it comes to painting the canvas of the movie screen into a beautiful scenic view , no body can hold hand of Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Each n every scene was breath taking , I could not take off my eyes to the backdrop ,the costumes , the jewelry , the curtains , the furniture,every thing that is visual on screen .such is the charisma of bhansali .
But as they say ,u have the most beautiful woman infront of you but she is dead . That's what bhansali movies have been and this is no different.
Like always , bhansali work lacks story , lacks sense , lacks brillance and lacks soul .
One is like , u see a masterpiece painting with brushes of majestic colours but it doesn't mean anything at all.
Heera Mandi is based on a true story of brothel n prostitute becoming a freedom fighter in India before independence.
It started off with the life of prostitutes to their inter personal wars and power games ,revenges ,greed and deceit .
This was interesting to watch but it lacked sophistication and was cheapskate n poor cinema .
Some scenes were good but they were hard to save this long saga disasters .
The black spot in this visually beautiful moon were also the women in the movie. All of them loaded with those post plastic surgery inflated faces ,those unnatural ghost like plastic faces ,they were ugly as hell that even the most exburant jewelry Nd clothing could not make them look tolerable a bit .
Sanjay Leela Bhansali should change his line of career from a director to costume designer and art director in movies.
Belive me ,it's a million dollar advice for free .
This director is clueless ,zero talent and does not have a D of director in his bone .
If he could just watch in silence Coppola, Raj Kapoor , Guru dutt, Satya Jeet Ray , Bimal Rai the stalwarts in movie direction .
He would never dare to sit in the chair of director.
It's a shame that we indian who forget our failures n stress with the delights of cinema for decades together has to gulp down the gutters in name of entertainment TDY !!!!
Once we had the classic ' umrao starting Rekha n now we have cheapskate ' Heera mandi' . The difference is clear ,one was good cinema the other is a 450 cr junk of the Bollywood factory!
0/5 utter nonsense
