Sanjay Leela Bhansali's new series, 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, stirred up mixed opinions when it premiered. However, it's been a hit on Netflix, landing in the number two spot for non-English language shows in its first week. The series attracted 4.5 million views and accumulated a total of 33 million viewing hours.
While 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar' has received praise from some audiences, it's also facing notable criticism. Many are concerned about how the show portrays non-consensual sex, depicts women's suffering, and aestheticizes their pain.
