I had to skip scenes of SLB's niece...Its the same blank stare towards camera in every frame.
Same here .. just fast forwarded her scenes.. nepotism
Sucks
Sharmin constantly has a smile on her face. Even when her husband died. Clearly got her job cos her uncle
😂😂😂poor thing ya...show was crap...
Very bad casting choice- Sharmin sehgal........ Cannot act at all
Same
Stop putting gangubai as the benchmark that was a average movie.. lack of story and impact
Well said🎉 very very true, but no one else told this, looks like some PR stunt
Agree 100% it was below average and Alia just mouthed the dialogues. Felt like she didn’t understand what she was saying .. So is this one ! Dragged, sub par, boring. 🥱
It took me 1 week to finish Gangubai it was the at boring!!!Heeramandi is better .. atleast some real acting from Manisha! Alia was so theatrical and over the too
Even Sanjay knows he is a fake Christopher Nolan of India. Just over rate art director who loves making reels of long lorn love...unrequitted love..u can only make someone feels bad only for 2 mins..then life moves on. But Bansali is hell bent to make over budgetted reela of Pakizaah. From Devdas to HM all same..shameful India projects him to be an ace dire tor..he no more than self loving director..and we audience has to sit thru his hours and hours of costly reel. Khamoshi was his first and last genuine attempt. Others are all poor copies... this Heera Mandi is one more example of what could have been than just reels
Couldn’t get past episode 1. Found it very boring. Sharmin Sehgal is utterly mis cast. Zero expressions, only lip fillers. Should have cast Wamiqa Gabbi instead.
Bcoz of her lip fillers , she was not even able to close her lips I guess. He pronunciation of words were funny.
Sharmin constantly has a smile on her face. Even when her husband died. Clearly got her job cos her uncle
So true! Sharmin's voice is also very irritating and she sounds like Sara Ali Khan. she only got the part in heeramandi as she is SLB's niece.
I too think Sharmin was a miscast and Wamiqa Gabbi would hv been a perfect cast...
Every cast was sooo perfect even saima character... But the mai lead was sooo dull
Alamzeb is terribly miscast!! It spoiled the whole show. Someone told Sharmin segal that a deadpan face for every single emotion= good acting. Such a central character should have been played by a more worthy performer. Spoiled the whole show for me. I just couldn’t feel for her. I was more interested in Satto Phatto Saima ans Iqbal - all great actors .
Scenes were too quick - key character moments were skimmed through. For e.g Sonakshi suddenly realizes that she wants to be a freedom fighter overnight. This is because Taj’s death scene is poorly directed. Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi , Aditi and the actor who plays Zaheeda are WOW!
This review completely missed to acknowledge Manisha Koirala . What a stellar performance. She’s the show stopper!
Bhansali's writing has been subpar for quite some time. It is almost as if dialoguebaazi and "filmy" punch lines have become a substitute for writing in his films. Having seen Shogun recently, one cannot help but compare what happens when stellar writing comes together with attention to detail. Shogun worked stupendously when characters were verbally sparring and outsmarting each other with great writing whilst wearing stunning costumes in splendid sets (kudos to the production design). Bhansali appears to be content dialing up the volume on costumes and production design whilst hoping that dialogues alone will move the story forward. It has almost become formulaic in his case - a set template for what a SLB project will be. As a viewer, I yearn for the days of Khamoshi - maybe what his films need is a little less dialoguebaazi and a little more silence.
Sharmin Sehgal so wrong casting !! expressionless
Mahira was supposed to do it but things changed !
I agree! SLB could have easily pulled this off with a 3 hours film. The desire to watch a full-fledged Bhansali Series was much awaited but the writing falls shorts and made it unexciting. Though Manisha Koirala stands out with her fantastic performance.
Also a SLB x Shreya Ghoshal song finally made through towards the end.
Am I the only one who thinks that Suchin looks like an animated person? His movements and expressions look like he's straight out of a Pixar film .. not real, but CGI 😂
How Dare you.. there ain't no CGI.... I'll have you know I'm pure 100% desi AI.
Why does he shake his hand always??? So disgusting
yea! he keeps moving his hands the same way no matter what he's saying atm 💀
You're correct, the story dragged on, and I ended up fast-forwarding through some parts. The actresses, especially Aditi Rao Hydari, delivered outstanding performances.
manisha is also outstanding including aditi
My biggest problem with this series was that I couldn’t tell the ladies apart. Apart from Manisha, most of the girls look and dress the same.
Spot on !
They all looked scary
Except Alam with the joker mouth.
I thought I was the only one. 😆 🤣
SLB's best work are way past in the 90s. All his post 2010 works look the same. He needs an upgrade.
Finally Richa Chadha playing a role like how she seems in real life
It seems that Meena Kumari's PAKEEZAH is one of the favourite movies of Sanjay Bhansali.
The KOTHA Culture depicted in the movie is not real but ULTRA GLAMORIZED. The writing is poor and the Urdu language doesn't sound like Urdu if you compare it with movies like "Umrao Jaan" , "Pakeezah" , "Razia Sultan" , "Baazaar" or "Mughal E Azam".
The writing is pedestrian.
Therefore performances and dialogues "to quote Mirza Ghalib" lacked "ताक़त-ए-गुफ़तार".
If anyone has seen an old Documentary on Doordarshan about real KOTHAS they were dirty, filthy, rotten claustrophobic places where crime against women were committed.
Therefore the Web series is another gross misrepresentation of KOTHAS.
Also Umrao Jaan the Rekha one
agree - but for the brilliant production value and photography HM was a dud.. The girl who played Alam was a disappointment - she is pretty but cannot pull off the role at all. Imloved the two ladies who played the assistants Satto and phatto - Adithi, Sonakshi and even Manisha were all wasted in the movie. I thought the guy who played Taj resembled SLB a bit ..
Do you hv the name of the documentary u hv mentioned? Is it available online?
Once you get over the big and beautiful sets, there's overacting, cheesy dialogues and mediocre story telling
Dude slb made 100 200 crores for himself....he's a 2 to 2.5 hr director...such a long show ..he got caught...he's a costume n set designer...not a story teller obviously
@@polarisss148Correct ,he has always been an set designer
begum jaan on steroids
😅😅
begum jaan was much better
lmao
😂
😂😂how rudeeee...
Agreed, one hundred per cent. This show is all style and heavy and boring content and very badly written overstylized dialogue that seems so silly. What a wasted opportunity!
INACCURACIES OF HEERAMANDI:
1, coronavirus news of 2022 in 1920's newspaper fareedan was reading.
2, heeramandi set in punjab , bhansali used lakhnawi dresses for male and female instead of punjabi suits.
3. Umera ahmed novel of 2004 peer e kamil was shown in 1920's era, umera was not even born then 😂.
4. SLB couldn't get the cut of an englishman's suit. Those were either double breasted or 3 piece with waistcoat.
5, georgraphical inaccuracy of the landscape, some lake shown when there was none in actual lahore, The most evident landmark still visible from every building in today’s remnants of Heera Mandi is the Shahi Qilla-Grand Mosque’s doom and minarets skyline. If you call it Lahore, show Lahore."
6, alamzeb reading urdu book from left to right as if she was reading some English poem 😂
How can your creative genius let go of such major inaccuracies in this period drama. Lahore stilll exist and you can't take such creative liberties. The world will laugh lol 😂
Yeh sanjay bhansali over confident hogya hai, used to like his earlier movies but not anymore, they should've researched more before making this 200 crore webseries. Nawabs in lahore lol 😂😂
Slb embarrassed on global level by inviting Hollywood directors for screening in US for such a crap show......😂😂😂
Too much focus on grand spectacle, too little on screenplay.
Dude.. it was sad af..slb took netflixx for one long rideee
It was a bit soap opera ish. Ngl
So good! Love the entire series. Everyone in the cast did a great job, but Sonakshi and Manisha truly stole the show with her captivating performance. The songs were enchanting, the costumes were exquisite, and the cinematography was breathtaking. Congratulations to Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the entire team for crafting such a mesmerizing cinematic experience.
I couldn’t get through the first episode also. It looks like a long manyavar ad
SLB films = jewellery marketing .
SLB is very overrated. his stories are weak and storytelling even weaker. they are all hollow costume drama.
Except khamoshi the musical
His films are = jewellery shop display .
@@spandanbaral3804HDDS and Guzaarish to an extent
His films are boring
You are the only person who told the truth, totally agree
SLB is perhaps the most overrated director of Hindi cinema ever. I liked only two of his movies, HDDS and Guzaarish,Bajirao Mastani to an extent. He is more of an art director than a movie director. I lost all respect for him when he mentioned in KWK that Salman is a better actor than Hrithik and Aamir 🤣🤣
HDDS was a remake exact copy of a movie in the 80s Woh Saat Din....padmini and Nasser adding shah...it was better
@@Emma-lilybeale i don't judge movie by where it is copied.. Remade, watever. What matters to me is that whether I liked the movie or not n I liked HDDS.. Tats it
Woh Sat Din is a shot for shot remake, including the translated title, of Thamizh movie Anda Ezhu Naatkal.
I Agree . Sharmin's performance was such a let down. The best performance for me was Nawaab ji . So real .
Biggest revelation of the series in Sanjeeda Sheikh else the show is a utter disappointment. Shamin ruined it for me
It's 2:45 am & i just watched 8 episodes of this series. Please don't waste your time & watch this. Pilot episode is absolutely fucking pathetic & then you trust SLB & move forward, & you realise 2nd,3rd,4th episode are good, & then for the other 4 you just realise, all the characters for whom you were fighting & excited about, dies or just stops fighting. Dushman ne Dhusmani chhod di, aap series chhod de.
We as audience gave so much shit to KJO for making Kalank, & nobody will talk shit about SLB. I'm a huge SLB fan honestly, I've watched every single film of his atleast 15 times, I'm disappointed. Big time. Micast, Rekhaji would have been so much better for Manisha's role.
Honestly, if you're a fan of the magnitude he shoots his films, go watch GanguBai again to feel the same.
Kajal khan...u watched all his movies 15 times????..what level of gawaaar r u??..1st time Mai samaj nahi aaayi??😂😂😂...15 times???..u need to get a life
I don’t agree! Manisha koirala reunited with bhansali in something that is already legendary. You can literally touch the screen like a painting, this review is poorly executed.
happens when person is too woke and think he's smart as
Yes I agree with you, one thing I can say is this was not at all a review
I strongly disagree.. It's a well put review and you can agree or disagree with it but doesn't make the review bad
But he is praising things that you loved. There is no doubt that those aspects are stellar.
@@captianamerica3531 I’m neither woke or less then smart. Turning 83 on Friday
I loved the series so much. Manisa koirala and Sonakshi shine. Story is gripping. I agree with the casting of alamjaan who is not expressive and her voice is so weird but overall it is very good
Surprised you didn’t even mentioned manisha koirala…what an actress man…brilliant 🔥
Suchin, much like a diamond, your reviews are gems amidst dirt. Well done! Nuanced, analytical and witty as usual 👏👏👏👏
5:20 set to make her debut as a tawaif 😭
😂
Thank god! It's not a "Hey! My name is Pratyush" day
No as an audience yes the first episode you feel bored but by 3rd and 4th Hiramandi works on your senses.
The grandeur and the acting of all most all artists is amazing.
You dint mentioned Manisha Koirala her expression her body language made us forget that she is MK.
Aditi haidari was my favt after MK
Sonakshi was great but she reminded me of Gangubai in many frames.
Hero was very good and he looked like Ramcharan of RRR.
Kudos to SLB for the series,beyond murder,mysteries,vices and faul language.
When the artist becomes aware of his magic sometimes the charm distills and becomes a fragile discourse of arrogance. I find SLB falling into this trap.
Not happy with the series
Completely disappointed
Heeramandi made me want to see Pakeezah, yet again, another time. .
What I loved :
Bhansali’s beautiful world with the stunning sets, women, costumes, jewellery - I was awestruck & in love!!
Manisha Koirala was the true Mallika of this one! What a comeback!
Although this was nowhere as “Paak” (pure) as Pakeezah, its still an ode & Bhansali clearly is as obsessed with Pakeezah, as I am :
- Alamzeb’s hair in the small urli, taken from Meena Kumari’s iconic shot in the giant-size urli
- When Manisha K screams “Qutubuddin” - I could hear Veena’s “Shahabuddin”!
Though nothing can match the haunting “aaj hum apni duaon ka asar” & the dance on glass, but SBL had to copy that walking on glass too
- Bringing Alam to his home, with relatives sleeping, yet cannot match the OG Uncle voice - “tum yeh bazaari gaali hume nahin de sakte”! Wowwww - what a dialogue!!
- Tribute to Rajkumar’s tent on the seaside/lake side (Very Vanyavilas 😊)
- The macro shot from top (very Gangubai vibes) with black figures & tonga breezing through it! Outstanding! Richa Chadha’s post death scene & song was the best shot; as per me
(Frankly, for me, post this scene, the series nosedived!)
- Loved the touch of Asa Singh Mastana’s Heer playing so softly in the background in one of the gambling scenes
- Loved that Azaadi song - nice tribute to “hum dekhenge” (Iqbal Bano)
What I felt sad about :
SLB is the only one who could have tried to make something close to Pakeezah. He attempted it & spent so much. Yet, he failed! There’s no way he can repeat this feat & scale & try again- this made me sad!
After the first 2-3 episodes, he was running in all directions. He could not put soul in the romance of Alam & Taj - so so wrong as he is the master of emotion & romance
It was tiresome after first 3, it lost the edge. He should have contained it in a 2-3 hour movie! Post that, it drags - I felt more sad than anything else. Too disjointed!
Bhansali says he cant see his movies as he’s too critical. He shouldn’t see this one. It’ll make him realise that he had so much going for himself yet he messed it up - “royally”!
I feel for him! Aisa mauka phir kahan milega . .
@suchinmehrotra Love your reviews. Your deep, unbiased and accurate analysis makes your reviews unique. I look forward to your reviews. Also, you have a great screen presence.
Very nice review. The opulence is over the top and overwhelming 😵💫😵💫
Heeramandi embodies timeless artistry, reserved for those who cherish and understand the essence of beauty. Each scene unfolds like a lyrical masterpiece, weaving together grandeur and poetic elegance. It's a spellbinding creation, a testament to the rare genius possessed by craftsmen like Bhanshali.
DAMN! You have got to be the BEST reviewer of Indian films. Thanks! The others loose me.
Everyone has been given equal screen timing and such a brilliant work ❤️ Even its about Dawawaib but there is no vulgarity and nuidity
Many actresses were very similar I didn’t know which is which
SLB movies are aesthetically pleasing paintings of emptiness. Just void, wrapped up in exquisite fabrics.
Yes beauty is enough.. I’ll leave the mainstream to other directors.. this isn’t a series it’s a masterpiece
Painfully boring to watch. It was hard to get through after first episode. Only sonakshi seemed acted well.
Only devdas
And hum dil de chuke was good
Devdas is a ham drama, everyone overacted especially SRK and Kiron Kher
No this role doesn't suit Manisha at all.Bahut slow bahut boaring we off tv in few minutes .
I felt the same 😅
@@jaazkhan9787 yeah your used to over acting and over the top acting of Alia Bhatt.. you will find it hard to digest nuanced performances
@@Besties591 she is legend she is too talented but doesn't mean everything will suit .we never liked no one forcing you not to watch .
suchin is best reviewer on FC....he needs to leave FC asap....
BEAUTIFUL REVIEW
I couldnt watch Gangubai for more than 30 mins, just zero conflict in the movie... such a weak script!!
Gangubai is a masterpiece movie don't know what are u talking stupid hater
Oh wow you're SOOOOO different from everyone else do you feel special ? Do you want a cookie 🍪 ?
@@Nishanth_mementomoriGive him/her Oscar or Nobel prize actually😂
Imagine someone can’t watch Gangubai for 30 min while many ppl are rewatching it 30 times
@@binmasud4680 You rewatched gangubai 30 times? Get a job... Get help asap 😭🙏
I quite liked the series ...especially the cinematography brilliance.....dream like sets...etc
But I must say the actress sharmin was a misfit in that role ...she was looking like any other college student 😄
Came here for heeranmandi review. Learned some tharooish English
Is it on Netflix?
Yup
This is exactly what i was afraid of.style taking over content.
But what about the male leads?not a word about their performance?what sort of review is this?
He did not like jubeelie and farzi as well so watch at your own and then decide,watch bhardwaj rangan review
@@DDUTTA look i understand reviewers giving us their perspective but the trailer was proof of the miscast.and then the excesses that ruins even the greatest works.
@@senguptasayn who is miscast except for Sharmin Sehgal all actors were good
@@DDUTTA one;of course they are good.two;just my observation that as courtesans who are masters of their art,these actors,except perhaps Aditi,they do not seem convincing to me.just my observation.
There's nothing to say about the male actor very poor script
Despite all your snarky comments enjoyed the series throughly.
I absolutely agree with the review 💯
Manisha gave a Stellar Performance 🎉🎉🎉
What a relief! Finally the robo-reviewer stopped ranting.
Spot on review!!!
Very flamboyant, the foreign actor acted well but Koirala fails to impress. Sets are opulent but look artificial, still can’t place the time it’s depicting with modern light bulbs and shades, improbable back then. Costume guy could get an Oscar. Guess Netflix did good to make it in India as this kinda production would cost through the roof in Hollywood. My first impressions, it’s exactly what you expect of Bhansali. Aditi Rao exudes sexuality reminds me of Megan Fox in Transformer,could be the next Smita Patil. Other actors are average.
manisha koirala is excellent
What're expecting Manisha Korals's role? She did perfect job - Sonaxi and others have very besides nepobaby. All the guys in the show have done fantastic jobs as per the assignment - look acting of Maalik - he is so natural in the role.
I am watching this in one episode a day format. It makes a huge difference
Sanjay leela bhansali is very good set designer , his moviews/shows are average arr best
It gets better watch till the end
So true. Felt the same. ❤
It completely ignores the reality on the ground and calls for partition and Muslim representation which were widespread in Lahore .. is an Indian washed version which completely ignores Jinnah and his popularity
I like only Aditi Rao's performance and characterization..!!
Agreed. Perfect review. He can’t make series. A bajirao mastani was his best in this genre.
Nonesense review. Gangubhai and Padmavat are one of SLB's weakest? Wonder how old this reviewer is praising Gangubhai..when SLB has a string of better films? Must be a kid reviewing a legend?? Go get a better job?
Not sure what you’re all talking about. Loved each and every episode, including the sorry line. Only part that I really could’ve done without was the Alamzeb character, severely miscast
"Don't question it, just submit to it" that for summarises the problem that plagues theatre, cinema and performing arts not just in Bollywood, not just in India but all over the world..yes all over the world..just because of a name,just because it 'looks' good..just because the previous product by the same name was good..lets just surrender and not really objectively examine the merits and demerits of a product..just because of the names associated with it..this elitist and ostriching is what makes directors, actors, technicians and performers across the board, palm of their substandard products as the critics fall over each other to give them awards for their scented trash..because critics just don't criticise anymore..they "surrender"
Manisha Koirala is great. Her dance scenes only remind me of kehna hi kya and satrangi re.
This director should become a set designer, it seems. That's all it seems like he cares about. I dont think he can make another khamoshi, hum dil de chuke sanam, devdas or guzaarish or gangubai
1. She could have found the lost pearl in the hammam during the day time.
2. I'd rather listen to the songs without watching the women dance or sing on it. They're not good.
3. Tawaifs were not prostitutes.
4. Sharmin can't act.
5. People are just fascinated by the shiny stuff, poor acting and script doesn't matter.
6. Sanjay Leela bhansali needs to stop depending so much on frills decor etc, and start paying attention to script and dialogues. All the simps are going ga ga.
7. Madhuri would have been excellent instead of Sonakshi. Sonakshi isn't as ripe in acting.
8. Manisha, richa, Fareeda jalal, sanjeeda are brilliant.
9. The real heeramandi tawaifs were fully clothed and were still sought after. Look at the real pictures of heeramandi.
10. It was a stupid choice to keep the same faces for parent and child. Especially if there are flashbacks. It gets very muddled. The timelines are not very distinct.
Very boring.
Or she could just pick one of the pearls her mother threw on her head and give it back to her mother...it was stupid
The scenes of sharmin were so unbearable... Same flat face when is angry, in love or when her lover died.. all i could was her lips.. aditi and sanjeeda sheikh stole the show.. rest were not so good.. and also instead of sonakshi they could have casted some young actress because i dont think that tawaifs who we're at the peak of their career were so old.. richa chadha sonakahi all looked very aged because tawaifs who were at peak of their career were around 20-25...
It was okay..lots of show and almost no heart. A few good actresses ..some terrible flop actors and a terrible new lead Shermin Segal who can’t act. Manisha Koirala excelled but most of the episodes felt over indulgent. The sets reminded me of Gangu bai sets spruced up.
Webseries is very good and showed the Bazar e Husn of Lucknow(Lahori Heeramandi is totally different). Too many flaws, Gora officers were speaking very good URDU , strange?
Netflix ke 400cr gaye paani mein Chapak💦
😂
Everything was okay. The dances weren't as skilful but still the sets and music were pretty.. the voice used for Aditi didn't suit her and same with the main lead, but it still was stunning. I didn't think Sonakshi was fiery at all lol. She was boorish, imo. Aditi, Richa and Manisha were fiery.
What absolutely didn't make sense to me was Rehana and Fareedan having the same face :P wth was that. They could've easily used another actress for Rehana.
It's a painful watch
Sharmin Sehgal- the new nepo kid who tells us why nepotism can some times be really bad for the project. Shes the iceberg that hit titanic! Titanic being the series - lol !
Totally waste of time besides the sets there's nothing it's very slow and boring not good at all
A lot of people saying they couldn't get through the first episode. I couldn't get through the trailer. 😂
What Heeramandi succeeds in doing is foregrounding the appropriated and controversial history of the tawaifs who turned from devdasis to tawaifs to nautch girls and at then end sex workers and that is what the focal point of the series was. The series tries and successfully (in my opinion) brings forth all these aspects of the history of courtesans. Some might require patience with it because it doesn't run on shock value and sensationalism. It is a beautiful, poignant and a series that has something to say.
It succeeds in nothing.
Very very very entertaining. The sets, the acting 🎭 it’s pure masala !
Something is fundamentally wrong with Suchin! He doesn’t likes anything so basically whatever is shown he is going to come out with flaws ! I won’t be wasting my time watching his reviews anymore
Trust me… you are right … only bibbojaan was the stand out….❤❤❤❤
richa chhada nd manisha koirala are excellent
Faltu story .. bakwas series
Just jewelery costumes aur sets per focus kiya gaya hai
If you want to tell the story of Lahore in the 40s you need to ask Pakistani historians and directors and actors not just bansali
It was great watch. Everyone converted into a freedom fighter so quick. The set designs, the clothes were all Amazing. Typo is SLB esthetic that I love. I just have one big issue. This is all happening in Lahore and these women are all Muslim: so technically they should have used the Pakistani flag 🇵🇰 twice that they used a flag. Why would Lahori courtesans be rooting for India? Considering that they are still there in HM on Firt road in Lahore. The well to do ones who became actresses have moved to better affluent neighborhoods. That area is has a lot of hustle and bustle now due to quaint and old Lahore food centric st right behind Badshah’s masjid. Anyways these particular group was not rooting to move to India. They were rooting for creation of. To me it’s a story to Pakistani working girls…SLB this was a big mistake…. Or u could have showing some city in not India. But Lahore had everyone’s attention as there is nothing like Lahore nor will be…
Sharmin Sehgal is the Kristen Stewart of Bollywood
Why nobody is talking about Richa Chddhas performance
because she sucked bigtime and looked preggo
Someone hold his hands and tell him to read up on the art of filmmaking before waxing ineloquent on a project. He could have said, the series is a load of fluff.
all of you are waiting for pusha for sure. SLB all day
Very weak story. Main character Alamzeb is extremely unimpressive . However visual, costume are great. Most impressive are Manisha Korela, and sunakhshi.
Begum jaan is a similar movie
40 mins me 8 episodes dekh liye? 😂
Also they may be invited to the premiere
Sonakshi Sinha ka koi 💦 seen hai kya ?
They get episodes in advance
Garib talking like a garib😂
I don't agree with u entirely, just watched all the 8 episodes, I would say SLB has done justice with all the female characters by showing all the emotions of love, revenge, betrayal, power etc. which is quite interesting and among the male artists the role of Taha Shah was nice. One must appreciate the effort SLB does in his music which was rich, cinematography, camera angles, colors etc. which looks grand but real.. SLB rocks🎸🎸🎉 Manisha, Sonakshi and Aditi stole the show🎉🎉
I liked waheeda's character too.. aditi was the hero of movie..
@@sadafrafiq5006yes manisha is villan nd aditi is hero
Review I could have written myself. Whilst, this is a comeback for fabulous Manisha, Sonakashi just didn't do it for me. The one who could have done justice to that role is Richa Chadha. Unfortunately, SLB did away with her far too early. I lost interest at same point. Sharmin Sehgal is very damp both in looks and her luke warm performance is yawn worthy.
This is the bestest movie ❤❤❤❤
Sharmin sehgal can't act to save her life. Bad casting choice
the trailer was suffocating. and it made me indifferent to the show. when it was announced i took it to be a movie.
ubiquitous bhansalisque gloomy frames.
the review confirms my instincts. all glitter no depth!
rather revisit kiran kher's scene in devdas and watch deepika in many kilos ghaagra prance to nagada sang.
and imagine leela bhansali on a full moon night (cross)dress in fav (female) attires from his movies and choreograph.
musician he is, but a closet dancer!
and i am sure he is into that fetish.
Your review is so convoluted that it often confuses than clarifies your POV and hence being so pretentious!
