Netflix unveiled the trailer of this
year’s most anticipated series from India - visionary director Sanjay Leela
Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Offering a spectacular glimpse into
the world, every frame is steeped in intrigue, passion, and drama, set to
captivate audiences from May 1 only on Netflix.
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), brings tensions in the house to a boil. Outside, the city is also
roiling, with revolutionaries demanding India’s freedom from British rule, with
Bibbojaan (Aditi Rao Hydari), one of Mallikajaan’s daughters, joining the fight
for freedom. Meanwhile, Mallikajaan’s youngest, Alamzeb (Sharmin Segal), dreams
of love with the son of a nawab (nobleman), Tajdar (Taha Shah Badussha), and
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, or the lady, of
Heeramandi. Who will finally reign?
Monika Shergill, Vice-President of
Content, Netflix India and Prerna Singh, CEO, Bhansali Productions were present
at the trailer launch in the capital today alongside the stellar cast,
including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha,
Sharmin Segal, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Fardeen Khan, Taha Shah Badussha, Shekhar Suman
and Adhyayan Suman.

is a story of love, power, freedom, and extraordinary women, their desires, and
struggles. It marks a new milestone in my journey. In Netflix, we found the
ideal partner - one who not only shares our love for storytelling but also
possesses the unparalleled capability to bring our series to the most diverse
