𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐂 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 #Heeramandi is Sanjay Leela Bhansali's most ambitious project & that is visible in every single frame .
Despite its extraordinary grand sets ,the series lacks a compelling story and most importantly… pic.twitter.com/bWIQhqjFLN
#HeeramandiReview - ⭐️⭐️⭐️#Heeramandi is a Historical Drama, It's Magnificent, Magical & Masterpiece. Grand Sets, Wow Costumes, Great performances & Superb Direction. Screenplay could have been better. sometimes It's stretched but worth watch. #HeeraMandiOnNetflix pic.twitter.com/RYYgqfnhMx

Rating - ⭐️⭐️#SanjayLeelaBhansali added elegance, grace, poetry, dancing, singing and sets to this story, but amidst all this, he forgot to tighten the story.

Well to put this mildly #Heeramandi is the most over glamourised bullshit ive seen on @netflix. Couldnt digest post 2 episodes. Sanjay Leela bansali needs a sabbatical #HeeramandiReview

#HeeramandiReview: The story is good but the execution failed badly. It's heavy with dull moments.#Heeramandi #HeeramandiTheDiamondBazaar #SanjayLeelaBhansali#ManishaKoirala #AditiRaoHydari #SonakshiSinha #RichaChadha#SharminSehgal #SanjeedaSheikh pic.twitter.com/TYpIA9BxzI

Ka kaam bahot hi achha hai or #starcast ka kaam bhi bahot hi achha hai.
Baaki story bhi thik hai.story ko samajne k liye aapke 3 se 4 perspective chahiye honge.
Kyonki story me pyaar,dhokha, politics or mid game bhi hai.
Overall verygood
“Heeramandi” represents a shift in the paradigm of storytelling, where substance takes precedence over spectacle. #Heeramandi thrives on the strength of its narrative and the depth of its characters. #SanjayLeelaBhansali #HeeramandiReview
