Netflix Announces Release Date At An Grand Event
Announcing the release date, Netflix India and Bhansali Productions wrote on social media, “The moment you’ve been waiting for!! Finally, here is the release date of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first-ever, epic, glorious series- Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar coming on 1st May, only on Netflix!!”
Check out the post:
The release date of the show was announced at a grand event, where the makers organised a drone light show. Through the light, they formed words such as ghungroo (anklets), jharokha (ornate window), and adaab (greeting) in the air. Sonakshi, Manisha, Sanjeeda, Richa, and Sharmin were present at the event. But Aditi skipped it amid the news of her wedding to actor Siddharth.
At the event, Bhansali said, “I am grateful to the entire team for their relentless passion and dedication to bring the world of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar to Netflix. With the release scheduled for May 1st, we can’t wait for audiences worldwide to watch it and shower us with their love and appreciation.”
The official synopsis of Heeramandi reads, “In the midst of a power struggle in Heeramandi, a young heir caught in the crossfire chooses love over succession, disrupting the status quo. Set in pre-independent India against a burgeoning freedom movement, the final thread holding the art of tawaifs (courtesans) is put to the test.”
