Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, despite opening to mixed reviews, made a grand debut on Netflix’s Top 10 global chart at number 2 with 4.5 million views. The team met for a success party last night, and since then, murmurs of Heeramandi 2 started spreading like wildfire.
The OG series is set up in a Shahi Mohalla of Lahore from the 1940s. The mohalla existed in real and was known for its courtesans. In fact, we even made you meet a Tawaif Niggo Jaan from this place who turned superstar. You can read about her here.
The eight-part web series traced the journey of courtesans from the Shahi Mohalla who found a purpose in their lives when they participated in the freedom struggle of India. The web series ended on a tragic note, though, and ended much before the partition of India.
While the scope for Heeramandi 2 seems to bea good plot to explore, Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s team might need a lot of research as to what happened to these courtesans once India and Pakistan were two different nations.However, at this point, it seems like a very bleak possibility.
While there might be a lot of unheard stories to ponder upon, at this stage, Heeramandi as a web series stands completed with a proper end. Developing it into season 2 would be too early to assume. Currently, the first part is a complete chapter with all the characters’ individual conclusions in the web series.
So, the chances of Heeramandi 2 cannot be denied, but still, it does not seem to happen in the near future.Especially because Sanjay Leela Bhansali will now move on to his much-awaited feature Love & War starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt & Vicky Kaushal, and we are already placing our bets on this love story which might turn into another timeless classic.
