Inside Heeramandi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Biggest & Most Expensive Series Yet | AD India

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's new Netflix series Heeramandi's spectacular set interprets a magnificent world where dance, poetry, fine arts, weaving, and jewellery-making are nurtured and a time when great artists moved freely, without any barriers.

Bhansali’s earlier films Devdas (2002), Bajirao Mastani (2015) and Padmaavat (2018) were all grand, but Heeramandi is grander. It’s a brilliant spectacle, which beats them all in not just scale but also art and architecture. For seven months straight, 700 craftsmen worked at Mumbai’s Film City to erect the set on about 60,000 wooden planks and metal frames.

DOP: Mahesh Limaye
Visuals editor: Harshita Nayyar
Edited by: Shiv Khandelwal

He could make a 3 hour film of him just talking about his work and I would watch it more than 3 times

[rshva]

How is this person not been globally recognised yet is beyond me.

He is so right when he says there is so so so much beauty around us and we fail to see it.

What a visionary director and creative human mind!! I wish him, one day he will have the worldwide professional recognition that he deserves!!! Greetings from Greece! 🇬🇷🫶🏼🇮🇳

People are complaining about choosing Manisha over Madhuri or Rekha ji..or u may say Vidya ...But if u see clearly Manisha seems amazing, breathtaking gorgeous.. Bhansali wants to introduce Tawaif's life not prostitute.. Trailer is enough to surprise us all

[myDeskID]

'i will make images that will be worthy of being called paintings" just

[nibeditabehera]

No one can beat his type of aesthetic representation.. ❤

[simranbhullar]

I wish that this movie was released on big screens for someone to appreciate and enjoy this spectacular set, visuals and art

[screative]

In Future We Need A Museum Of SLB and His Movies. 😅

Manisha Koirala & Sanjay leela Bhansali donning time travel. Bhansali's Kamoshi was subtle, small & beautiful. I don't know what happened to him after that....happy he walks back in time & brings back Manisha in Heeramandi. ❤❤

[Myindianlyf]

They should make a “theme park” of sorts where all Sanjay Leela bhansali sets have been preserved!so we could all experience his world for real!

[deonomsubba]

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Aamir Khan and Sabyasachi are Pisces in True form... High on Art, creativity, intricate detailing and observation 🥰🥰

[thefilmstory]

When you let a glance at him, you know you’re looking at an absolute legend! There’s something in the aura, the personality- the mind of Sanjay Leela Bhansali!

[meditationmountainbyrishab]

Sanjay brings to Hindi cinema, which has been sadly lost for so many years, a rare trait called 'deep passion for cinema'. Hindi Cinema has the most extraordinary stories to tell, what we need are passionate and visionary filmmakers like K Asif, Vijay Anand, Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt & Ramesh Sippy. Sanjay keeps the torch aflame.

When Pakeezah was released many years ago, it was written off by the audiences then who didnt see the true picture but now its regarded as one of the greatest classics ever made, along with Mughal e Azam. I feel that Heeramandi too suffers the same fate. People do not appreciate this great work of art. Many years later it will be termed a great work of art and be regarded as one of the greatest serials released on Netflix.

[arsalanhasan]

This is by far the best Indian movie set I have seen. This is even more beautiful and detailed as it looked in the trailer. Indeed his frames are moving paintings. The colour pallet OMG the red brick walls with elaborate emerald green door. My God ❤❤❤

[Idyllicism]

a HUGE part of why I love SLB's creations are because of the sets he makes, the work that's been put into them. People say that all the grandeur and design is distracting from the dialogue but to me they only ever add to the dialogue and emotions. I live for these sets.

[lindabyrd]

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL SET AND THE COLOURS BLEND TOGETHER BEAUTIFUL

[urbanlegend]

A Visionary par excellence! He’s truly last of the living great and so happy to live in the same era to experience his magic on screen!
