Aftab Iqbal has reviewed Netflix’s Heeramandi on Haseeb Khan’s popular YouTube channel, Ganda Aanda. In the interview, Aftab Iqbal himself shared that he has been watching Heeramandi and would definitely want to talk about it.
While reviewing the film, Aftab Iqbal said, “Nowadays, I am watching Heeramandi on Netflix. I would really like to talk about it. I will briefly review it. It has a lot of good things. Well, it has flaws too. The series has some beautiful aspects, but it could have been a memorable masterpiece if the director had avoided a few big mistakes. I would like to talk about those mistakes, although, people don’t give good advice, and some don’t even want to hear good advice. It’s good that Sanjay Leela Bhansali didn’t make a film, otherwise, it would have been the biggest disaster”
Talking about the views and popularity, Aftab Iqbal said, “The season is getting good views and ratings because people want to see such things but we are interested in the impact it will leave. Gathering good views is not a big thing for a director like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he can gather views within minutes. There are projects that get views in tonnage, but actually, they are garbage. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a great period film director. If Sikandar Yunani had to produce a film, he would have definitely assigned it to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he’s that brilliant. He has created the best ambiance and costumes in his films. If I had a powerful position or a kingdom, I would have commissioned Sanjay Leela Bhansali, but I would also have given him an assistant who would tell him that it isn’t necessary to shoot everything in Taj Mahal, likewise, he shot Heeramandi on Gangubai’s set. He also distorted the facts. The sub-continent has a popular culture, but they featured boldness in the film . It also lacked the element of drama, but he is successful in bringing up a visually pleasing masterpiece, which is his signature style”. Here is the link to the video:
