Heeramamdi released today on Netflix- episode one gives a feeling of yesteryear’s blockbuster Pakeeza.

Another magnum opus by Bansali and he lives up to his reputation.
This is not a review . This is a ‘first impression report’.

The sets are beautiful.

Remember Pakeeza which was a rage when our parents were young and you must have not missed it if you are connoisseur of good cinema.

Remember the beautiful fountains where Meena Kumari performs, the lanes of Lahore leading to the Kothas.
The large Kothas with open balconies where the natch girls are performing.
Bansali has replicated it all.

Even the first scene of one of the important characters was a copy from Pakeeza. Where the girl is lying soaking her hair in water infused with roses and other flowers.

I have just started to watch it.
The dresses, the jewellery , the songs all look grand.
The ensemble cast adds to its appeal.

Keep watching
