      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330360228/lahore-ki-ranis-fans-all-praise-for-netflixs-heeramandi</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Netflix series &lt;em&gt;Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazar&lt;/em&gt; has kept people glued to their screens, watching ‘Lahore ki Ranis’ in their struggle and grandeur.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People on the social media platform, X, have applauded the ‘Lahore ki Ranis’ for their “impeccable” acting and enthralling musical numbers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the users praised the drama, expressing that Heeramandi, so far so good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another said that “standing ovation” for the series.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People are applauding the movie as another person said she loved it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another person wrote about the film, describing it as “magic”.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But there were some viewers who did not like Bhansali’s latest offering, saying that the OTT drama lacked storyline.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Watching &lt;a href="/trends/Heeramandi"&gt;#Heeramandi&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href="/trends/Netflix"&gt;#Netflix&lt;/a&gt;. 4th episode is going on &amp;amp; I’m still wondering what’s the story all about. Is there any solid story or am I going to have this random costume &amp;amp; jewellry drama only? Getting bored too but me being me poora toh dekhungi hee. See u after 8 episodes,” said one user.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another person posted:&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Heeramandi revolves around a story set in the pre-Independence era of Lahore. The plot revolves around Nawabs and their wives, who live lavish lifestyles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fareedan, played by Sonakshi Sinha, returned to claim her stake once she was banished. The place, Shahi Mahal (royal house), was lorded to Madam Mallikajaan, played by Manisha Koirala where all the scenes were shown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An old and legendary rivalry between Mallikajaan and Fareedan was portrayed. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Richa Chadha’s contribution is confined to a brief part. The actors playing the women who serve, the delightfully named Satto-Phatto, and Saima, the low-born girl who sings better than them all, are all spot on, as are many in the supporting cast as the freedom fighters.&lt;/p&gt;
