Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Heeramandi’ of extraordinary women narrate story of love, power, freedom; trailer out!

“Heeramandi mein Angrezon ka nahi… Mallikajan ka sikka chalta hai!” – You are into a different era that is created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Netflix unveiled the trailer of this year’s most anticipated series from India, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Offering a spectacular glimpse into the world, every frame is steeped in intrigue, passion, and drama. The thrilling trailer transports viewers to the sizzling district of Heeramandi, where the one and only Mallikajaan (Manisha Koirala) rules over an elite house of courtesans.

She schemes, fearing no one — until the return of her late nemesis’ daughter, Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha). She brings tensions in the house to a boil. Outside, the city is also roiling, with revolutionaries demanding India’s freedom from British rule. Bibbojaan (Aditi Rao Hydari), one of Mallikajaan’s daughters, joins the fight for freedom. Meanwhile, Mallikajaan’s youngest, Alamzeb (Sharmin Segal), dreams of love with the son of a nawab, Tajdar (Taha Shah Badussha). She yearns to break out of Heeramandi.

As betrayal mounts and forbidden desires clash with societal norms, the struggle for pre-independent India’s freedom comes to a boiling point. Against this backdrop, Mallikajaan and Fareedan are locked in an epic battle for the title of the huzoor of Heeramandi. Who will finally reign?
