Again with his debut show Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has proved unmatched in bringing characters to life. Be it cinematic greats, Bhansali showed mastery over eliciting the best out of his cast—so it was about this latest venture that streaming has been releasing on Netflix. Two very diverse and remarkable characters are presented in it: Tajdar and Alamzeb, portrayed by Taha Shah Badusha and Sharmin Segal, respectively.

Sharmin Segal and Taha Shah Badusha delivered captivating performances as Alamzeb and Tajdar. Taha's portrayal of Tajdar has been met with widespread acclaim, earning him the moniker of ‘National Crush’ and an invitation to Cannes. His charm and performance have won him a legion of female fans, solidifying his place as a rising star.

On the other hand, Sharmin Segal received a different response. She faced scathing criticism and trolling despite giving a powerful performance as Alamzeb; the latter mostly targeted her interviews. These assaults appeared to be meant to damage her reputation. However, Sharmin did make a difference in the role of Alamzeb, which turned out to be a breakthrough. It launched her career into new frontiers and proved her mettle as an actress.

The different responses to Bhansali's meticulously developed characters are exemplified by the way that Alamzeb and Tajdar are received differently. Taha's Tajdar was praised, but Sharmin's Alamzeb was unfairly maligned. However, each performer gave exceptional performances that demonstrated Bhansali's skill in both actor direction and character development.

Heeramandi has evoked a lot of discussion in viewers' minds through its characters and the commitment of actors towards the project. It has gone really deep since the international release.

Heeramandi is currently available for watching on Netflix. With its gripping story that has ingrained Alamzeb and Tajdar in viewers' hearts, the film has cemented its reputation as a Sanjay Leela Bhansali masterpiece.
