An opulent spectacle of Lahore's Red-Light District, the first teaser of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly-anticipated OTT debut, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, dropped on February 1. It had viewers both excited and riled up, with several hung up on the fact that a film about Heeramandi should’ve been Pakistan’s to make. The project is about love, betrayal, succession, and politics in the kothas with multi-faceted characters and soulful compositions. In a statement last year, Bhansali told ANI, "Heeramandi is an important milestone in my journey as a filmmaker. I am looking forward to my partnership with Netflix and bringing Heeramandi to audiences all over the world."
