Heeramandi And It's 14-year Long Disappointment
It seems that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has made a personal history for giving me hope and promptly taking it away a new habit. My relationship with this show though not as tumultuous as the creator's, is one that lasted somewhere upto the two years. I wasn't a super fan of Bhansali's by any means but when I heard that he was producing a project featuring prominent actresses set in an older India, I was excited. It was at a time where only a few hindi movies peaked by interest and ones that did weren't mainstream, mass-produced, industry blockbusters. So, naturally, I was excited for a possible return to good film making and a decent plot. Bhansali was and is in my opinion a romantic. He sees only the love and beauty in his stories which leads to an inherently cheesy and rose-colored depiction in his period films. But still one could admit that they were flawed with still enjoying them for the grand spectacle they were. A cinematic and glamorized version with the dramatics...
