Watching grass grow is more exciting than HEERAMANDI.
1 May 2024
After a long time I saw a show so impotent, so cringy, so torturously slow that I struggled to finish the 1st episode (some of it in fast forward) which is my norm to say I gave a show a fair hearing.

"All style and no substance" you mush have heard of? This applies to this show like a tee. This Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus is 10 kms wide and 1 mm thick. SLB is the master of sets and costumes and I must say these are brilliant here without a doubt. Well that's about all the good news there is for Heeramandi.

After the smoke and mirrors effect wears off and you concentrate on the plot, you are bombarded with 20 characters in rapid fire motion, going forward and backward with gay abandon and it all looks and feels like a bad LSD trip in which even Confucius would not be blamed for getting totally Confused & Confounded.

After racking my brain for 1.5 episodes and trying to find out if there is a plot line,I finally got a migraine and decided that in this game of who inflicts the most torture, SLB had definately won. I conceded and gave up. There's only that much a human brain can take.

PS Watch grass growing or even a 3 hour movie of Salman Khan snoring, it's more exciting. 😇😎
