About Heeramandi
Set against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar promises to be an epic saga of love, power, revenge, and a fight for freedom.
The trailer showcases the lives of courtesans in Heeramandi, Lahore, British India. Mallikajaan (Manisha Koirala) governs over an aristocratic courtesan house. She plans, fearing no one, until the homecoming of her late nemesis’ daughter, Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha), which raises problems in the household.
Outside, the city is rolling with revolutionaries seeking India’s independence from British domination, with Mallikajaan’s daughter, Bibbojaan (Aditi Rao Hydari), joining the struggle for freedom. Meanwhile, Mallikajaan’s youngest daughter, Alamzeb (Sharmin Segal), fantasises about falling in love with the son of a nobleman, Tajdar (Taha Shah Badussha), and wishes to escape Heeramandi.
At one point, it gives glimpses of India’s freedom struggle and on the other hand, it also shows Mallikajaan and Fareedan face off in an epic battle for the title of Heeramandi’s huzoor.
Heeramandi also stars Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Shekhar Suman, Fardeen Khan, Adhyayan Suman, and Farida Jalal in pivotal roles. It will release on Netflix India on May 1.
