The series, Heeramandi, has been meticulously edited and finalized. Bhansali, while officially directing the inaugural episode, has been intimately involved in every aspect of the production.

More about Magnum opus Heeramandi
Set against the backdrop of the Indian independence movement, Heeramandi explores the nuanced world of tawaifs (courtesans) in the red-light district of Lahore. The narrative promises to weave a tapestry of love, betrayal, and the quest for freedom, all while showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the time.
The ensemble cast includes Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, and others, who are set to bring their formidable talents to this period drama. The show marks Bhansali’s first foray into digital streaming, and with a teaser already creating waves, audiences are eagerly awaiting the weekly release of each episode on Netflix.
Heeramandi to be weekly affair
Heeramandi being a magnum opus cannot be just dropped on the cluttered digital domain. It is Netflix’s most prestigious Indian production to date. Since each episode of Heeramandi is like a self-contained feature film, Netflix may release one episode per week.
Heeramandi’s release strategy of one episode per week is a departure from the binge-watching culture commonly associated with OTT platforms. This move is expected to build anticipation and conversation around each episode, making it a weekly event that viewers can look forward to.
