It is an honor to have the Co-CEO of the world-famous NETFLIX Company coming to India to announce a web series to be launched only on an OTT platform. This series is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Hiramandi’ for whose curtain raiser Ted Sarandos flew to India. This honor was for the filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, whose joining will increase the grandeur of OTT platforms, it is believed. ‘Hiramandi’ is a project of Magnum Ops. The clip of the classic feature, which was presented at the series launch, had a glimpse of the grandeur that Bhansali is known for. Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Sheikh looked mind-blowing in elaborated sarees and jewelry. Bhansali said that this presentation of his is going to be like ‘Pakeezah’ and ‘Mughal-e-Azam’. Ted said he admires Bhansali’s artistry – “I think about his films silent, about black, about Granger, and about the artistic presentation of dance. Think … that he brings drama and style.” How to balance and present. Monica Shergill, Head of Content, Netflix India, also expressed her happiness over the announcement of the project by TED. Grandeur and extravagant presentation are one of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s specialties. His previous film was ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ which is a film sitting on the hearts and minds of the people. Along the same lines ‘Hiramandi’ is his debut series on OTT, and it remains to be seen how he will innovate it. Every film Bhansali has a different style. ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’, ‘Padmavat’, ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela’, ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Devdas’, ‘Saawariya’, ‘Black’, ‘Guzaarish’, ‘Malal’ etc. each film has a different content and presentation. It is worth mentioning here that ‘Hiramandi’ is an area located in Lahore (Pakistan) which is recognized as the area of women who perform Mujra. During the period of the Mughals (15-16th century), ladies with mujra were settled here for entertainment. When the British came, they built brothels (brothels) here for the entertainment of the soldiers. Despite this, the classical status of Hiramandi was maintained. Dancers used to come here from different corners of the subcontinent – also for dance training like Kathak etc. It was believed that women performing mujra were no less than a queen. There was a time in her. Now the governments of Pakistan have made some more changes here. It will be a matter to be seen what and how much the ‘content’ has changed in Bhansali’s ‘Hiramandi’. The curiosity of the audience is at its peak.
