In this video, I discuss the upcoming 8part series by Sanjay Leela Bhansali: Heeramandi on Netflix! This upcoming show has no release date as yet (I will update you guys when it does) However, before the release of what I expect to be a fascinating show, I provide a context to this intriguing series and the following related topics:
1. The History of the REAL Heeramandi
2. The depiction of courtesans in Bollywood & iconic Bollywood Tawaif characters
3. Review of the book: The Dancing Girls of Lahore by Louise Brown
I include relevant excerpts from the book, so you guys have an idea of the writing style and topics discussed by the author. Heeramandi promises to be just as (if not more!) grand than Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s previous work. Hope you guys enjoy this video and let me know your expectations for the series in the comments below! Also, tell me, who was your favourite Tawaif character in Bollywood Film History?
