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.
