Heeramandi The Diamond Bazaar #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #filmmovieDocumentaryOTTreviews Title: #HeeramandiTheDiamondBazaar Rating: * * * Despite the brilliant visual architecture, painstaking period costuming, amazing lighting, cinematography, brilliant music, choreography, amazing art direction, high production value & impeccable performances, the series takes more than a couple of episodes to get used to. The imbalance in scripting, artifice of the sets, over-emphasis on stylistic flamboyance, languid pacing & over-the-top ostentation doesn’t allow for any great attachment. It’s only when the final few episodes play out that we get to enjoy the payoff. That’s when the series takes on new meaning. #SLB’s magnum opus on the debauchery, tragedy & spirited aid to the freedom struggle by the nautch girls of Lahore during pre-indepenence, has his signature flair - unfortunately its too much of a good thing!
