Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar (2024)
Great sets but little else

This series proves once again that Bhansali has no business directing anything other than visuals. He is simply not a storyteller and has no idea how to keep his audience engaged. The first episode appears to start off well but then quickly devolves into boring, simplistic scenes filled with trite dialogue that vacillate between "love" and "patriotism". The other episodes just go downhill from there.
The series tries to build characters with some depth but fails miserably. Some characters are over-dramatic while others are cardboard cutouts.
What a waste of good acting talent, some good acting but it's hard for actors to overcome poor direction and writing.
