While he was away, Sanjay Leela Bhansalis Heeramandi ADs would film a single page in 12 hours. Actor Mark Bennington pondered Is this a joke
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is listed as the only director of the Netflix series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, with a few other directors receiving credit at the conclusion of each episode. Actor Mark Bennington, who portrayed the evil British officer Henderson in the show, disclosed in a recent interview that his aides would shoot for hours on end on days when Bhansali wasn't there in order to await the director's permission. He revealed that Bhansali would receive specific footage, which he would either accept or reject. However, on the days when Bhansali directed himself, scenes would be completed in three to five takes.During his first day on the Heeramandi set, Mark noted in an interview with Showsha that Bhansali wasn't there. They were emailing Bhansali clips, which I'm not sure he approved or disapproved of. They would merely email him the clips, not every clip. I'm not sure. Anyhow. We ultimately did fifteen to twenty-five takes for each arrangement. On a wide picture, it took about 19 takes. "Are you guys kidding me?" I thought. Is this a practical joke? I mistook it for a candid camera. There must be a joke in this. We are unable to perform that many takes. When we come to the close-up and there are two takes, I believed everything would be OK.

Pratibha Ranta discusses the parallels between her characters in Heeramandi and Laapataa Ladies. The feeling was the same.
Actor Pratibha Ranta recently talked about her experience filming Heeramandi, the web series by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and the movie starring Kiran Rao.The actor Pratibha Ranta appeared in two very different characters in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar and Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies. She did, however, grasp onto a resemblance between her characters while speaking with Indian Express. (Also Read: Interview with Pratibha Ranta: I get excited when girls tell me they can identify with my role in Laapataa Ladies.)Pratibha portrayed Jaya in Laapataa Ladies, a young lady from a traditional household who gets married off against her will. She portrayed Shama in Heeramandi, a stunning little girl who is the envy of her mother, prostitute Waheeda (Sanjeeda Sheikh)."I was able to experience a different world when I went to shoot for Heeramandi," Pratibha added, describing the experience as a "magical one." Heeramandi had a large set, and I found that the two characters' approaches were very dissimilar. Jaya has a guarded demeanor. She deliberates for a long time before acting. She is, however, observing. This is what she is doing, which is why she has four eyes. Thus, all of that was something I used to consider when getting ready for Jaya's role. She did, however, see a commonality throughout her roles—the need for independence. "But, in the end, it was the same emotion to get that freedom that I have to do what I have to do," the woman remarked.Despite being an urban girl, Pratibha said she could identify to her role in an interview with Hindustan Times following the premiere of Laapataa Ladies. She asserted, "She is unwavering in her conviction and speaks up for herself when no one else does." What's not to connect? Additionally, I saw parallels between her experience and mine. I knew I wanted to be an actress, even though my family thought I should pursue something else. To pursue my aspirations, I moved to Mumbai from Shimla. Like her, I've always insisted on having autonomy over my own life. I had a strong feeling that I could be her.

Does Heera Mandi' by Sanjay Leela Bhansali Respect Women's Dignity?
The public's opinions about Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Netflix series "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar" have been divided. The historical drama received criticism from director Vivek Agnihotri, who said, "Bollywood has this tendency to romanticize courtesans and brothels." Snehil Dixit Mehra, co-director of the show, responded to Agnihotri's remark. She stated, "Heeramandi isn't about glorifying tawaifs," in a recent interview."I think he hasn't watched the show. The glorifying of tawaifs is not the purpose of Heeramandi. The 1920s and 1940s provide a setting for the show. Wawains were in charge at the time, Mehra told News18.She also mentioned how, in the 1920s and 1940s, she and Bhansali discovered via their research for "Heeramandi" that courtesans were paying higher taxes than "nawabs.""We researched the show well before we produced it. We discovered throughout our investigation that these tawaifs were so wealthy that, despite their fraudulent accounting, they were paying higher taxes than the nawabs, Mehra continued.Agnihotri wrote on X, "I haven't seen the show, but I have visited Heeramandi in Lahore a few times," acknowledging that he hasn't watched "Heeramandi" yet. Bollywood has a propensity to romanticize prostitutes and couturiers. It's a depressing observation because brothels have never been luxurious, glamorous, or exquisite settings. These serve as memorials to injustice, misery, and agony in humankind. People who haven't seen this should watch Mandi (sic) by Shyam Benegal."The director of "The Kashmir Files" went on, saying, "We also need to consider this: Does creativity allow us to romanticize human suffering? Is it permissible to create a movie in which people living in slums are shown as having plenty? Is it OK to depict people living in slums dressed like they're attending an Ambani wedding? Please talk about (sic)."Mehra clarified the story that the creators of "Heeramandi" have attempted to tell while outlining their position. They lost their dignity as a result of the freedom war and the British attempts to break the nautch girls. We have decided to tell this particular tale. It's just the nature of the story; it has nothing to do with glorifying the tawaifs. To get our message, he (Agnihotri) needs to watch the series first, she continued.

In an exclusive interview with The Indian Express, Cho Jung Seok states that exploring his character's thoughts was very appealing to him. ""The plot moved quickly, and the characters' interactions and feelings stuck out more than anything I've ever seen. As soon as I started reading the script, I became engrossed. It's challenging to represent someone. who always plans ahead, is wary of new people, and eventually recognizes that he is destined to hold a prominent position. I so tried to highlight the nuances and facets of this man's personality in each scenario, concentrating more on his mental state. A well-known figure in musical theater, Cho Jung Seok made his stage debut as a professional performer and starred in a number of notable Korean productions, including Grease, Spring Awakening, and The Nutcracker. But 2012 marked a turning point in his career, both on television and in movies, as he starred in the critically acclaimed drama The King 2 Hearts and the feature Architecture 101. The 43-year-old actor, who has completed 20 years in the entertainment industry, claims that throughout the years, his only goal has been to defy convention in his field. ""I have an intense drive to provide a good performance when I read a compelling script or character. I may have desired titles like ""a trusted actor"" in the past, but my current goal is to be an actor with endless potential who is unrestricted by any one label. The actor, who has shown his versatility across genres, says there is no formula for what he does. He has played the macho star reporter who finds himself in a difficult situation in Don't Dare to Dream, the professional chef who meets a woman who has the ability to see ghosts in Oh My Ghost, and a revolutionary in The Nokdu Flower.

The Great Indian Kapil Show teaser: Sunil Grover hops on the joyride again
"The Great Indian Kapil Show, a new comedy series on OTT, will mark comedian Kapil Sharma's OTT debut. The show, which depicts Kapil and Sunil Grover's reunion following their contentious altercation in 2017, will be available for streaming on March 30. The Great Indian Kapil Show will be Kapil Sharma's first foray into the over-the-top (OTT) television market. Sharma is best known for his hit television programs Comedy Nights With Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show. In addition, it's the reunion of Kapil and Sunil Grover following their historic 2017 aircraft altercation. Netflix is set to launch the show's streaming service on March 30. In the trailer, Sunil Grover makes a guest cameo while Kapil Sharma and his group discuss possible names for the show. Along with Kapil and Sunil, the show will also include Archana Puran Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and Rajeev Paul. ""It's been one of the best things to happen to them,"" Kapil said, expressing his joy about the show and the transfer to Netflix. He promised to amuse followers not only in India but all across the world, assuring them that although their home has changed, their family has not. For the past few days, the recent altercation between well-known comedians Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover has dominated the internet, and for good reason. When the two most well-known comedians in the nation become irate with one another, naturally, people want to know what went wrong. Additionally, this is not the first argument between the two. Due to his Gutthi act, Sunil had begun to get recognition. As a result of the show's overwhelming success, Sunil supposedly demanded a raise, but both Kapil and the show's producer turned down his request. Numerous sources made similar accusations, although at the time, neither of them had discussed the matter. However, Kapil later provided The Times of India with a statement regarding it: ""All I can say is that since we were all involved in the success of our program, Sunil should never have departed. Sunil has been in the entertainment world, attempting to get his footing. I'm senior to him. I have the utmost respect for his abilities. Furthermore, I don't take offense at anyone or feel competitive with them. To the extent that I can, I actually make an effort to give each member of my staff an opportunity to speak on stage. It is likely that those in Sunil's immediate vicinity provoked him to leave."" Sunil Grover's comeback to the show However, Sunil and Kapil were destined to collaborate, as Sunil, who had lost his appeal after departing from Kapil's program, reappeared as Kapil's father-in-law. When Kapil supposedly declined to use the show to promote Sunil's film There were rumors that Kapil was not happy with Sunil's decision to make films and that he did not want to promote Sunil's film on his show. Later on, Sunil addressed the matter in a statement, claiming that Kapil was unrelated to the movie's lack of promotion on The Kapil Sharma Show."

Nidhi talked candidly about the show, practicing law before going into acting, and other topics with IndiaToday.in. After years of study and practice, Nidhi was asked how it felt to finally play a lawyer on TV. She said, ""I was practicing in the Delhi High Court when I studied law."" I was an associate at a legal company before relocating to Mumbai to pursue an acting career. I thus thought, ""So they also know I have studied law and practised a bit,"" when Poshampa Pictures contacted me.""However, upon reading the script, my sole concern was that I was ignorant of this universe. I would have to put forth a lot of effort. District court work is a very different world. The person who sits outside these courts is my character She doesn't know a lot about law. For me, it was a full circle experience, therefore it was a strange sensation,"" Nidhi remarked.

The teaser for Maamla Legal Hai on Netflix transports viewers back to East Delhi's alleyways. Director Rahul Pandey said, ""Everything is set, except for the outdoor location,"" in response to a question about whether the filming took place in real places.

Nidhi, who works as an actor and a creator, also discussed which career she loves more: ""Acting is my favorite since it's such a liberating experience. My main profession is performing. Despite this, I like to do anything as long as I get paid to."
Ashneer Grover takes a dig at Anupam Mittal, comments on the falling TRPs of Shark TankTum sab toh thande hi ho
"The creator of BharatPe and a previous Shark Tank India shark, Ashneer Grover, declared himself the ""GOAT"" of the program. Ashneer Grover became well-known after participating in Shark Tank India's previous season as one of the sharks. During the recent annual fest of Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, the founder of BharatPe poked fun at the low viewership of the current season of Shark Tank India, specifically pointing fingers at Anupam Mittal.

Life's greatest lesson is to not alter and to not create needless problems out of things that may be resolved. I hope quantity can replace quality."
Shōgun review This engrossing historical epic is one of the best shows of the year
"Based on James Clavell's 1975 historical fiction book, Shōgun tells the story of political upheavals in pre-Edo period feudal Japan in the 17th century. It's no easy task to revisit and modernize one of the seminal shows of the 1980s. Shōgun, a ten-episode limited series based on James Clavell's critically acclaimed novel, aims to achieve it with considerable ambition and skill. The main plot revolves around an English sailor from the 17th century who ends up becoming a samurai in feudal Japan. The show, which was developed by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, decides to take a broad approach to telling this story, covering both internal and exterior issues as it leads viewers through trade and honor, love and faith, politics, and war. (See also: Shōgun authors on the necessity of changing the book to appeal to the current generation: ""Where have we made so many mistakes over the years?"" The idea When English pilot John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) washes ashore on the coast of Japan, the mystery begins. He promptly establishes his status as a hostile primitive by urinating on his head. Blackthorne gives in to the whims of the local leader after his remaining crew is taken in as prisoners, but he is soon summoned to report to Lord Toranaga (a magnificent performance by Hiroyuki Sanada, who also receives credit as one of the show's producers), where he learns of the region's crisis. He also observes the number of Protestant Catholics who have managed to hang onto power throughout the of the council, acting as interpreters. The larger dilemma arises from the death of Japan's king Taiko, who left behind a successor who is now mature enough to usurp the throne. He meets John, an unlikely friend, and the complicated combination of trust and agency forms the core of this captivating epic that captivates audiences with its superb period accuracy and perfectly timed performances. Also, keep an eye out for the arrival of a certain Lady Ochiba (Fumi Nikaido), whose presence adds mystery and complexity to the program."
Can I Tell You a Secret review Terrifying Netflix documentary investigates the crimes of a real-life Kabir Singh
"An online stalker who not only broke into the lives of numerous women but also destroyed their relationships drove them to the verge of insanity. In the recent Netflix true-crime documentary Can I Tell You a Secret, three of these women painfully share their stories. It might have easily been a full-length movie, but it's been split into two parts, maybe to appease viewers who want episodic ""content."" In either case, the total viewing duration will only be roughly one hundred minutes. Liz, Zoe, and Lia are three energetic young women who are seemingly randomly targeted by a malevolent stranger who starts sending them unsettling messages that they initially ignore. They don't start to worry until the texts take on an increasingly ominous tone. One of them learns that the stalker, posing as her, had texted her friend's father indecently. Another woman finds out that the stalker sent photos to an older male acquaintance after obtaining them from a boudoir session in which she had taken part. The women eventually discover that they are unable to escape an ever-more-stifling nightmare. The police are involved, but they can't help enough because of a variety of factors, including their lack of equipment or lack of enthusiasm. The program includes statements from many police departments as on-screen text, despite only having one law enforcement officer on camera. This decision is distinctly un-cinematic. Can I Tell You a Secret isn't the most ambitious documentary, as you may have already surmised from the fact that it tells the story in great detail and with minimal psychological depth. The filmmakers use glowing electrical cables to depict the stalker's ever-expanding network of influence; the connections light up in response to messages sent and received. It's comparable to a financial documentary that illustrates stock market volatility with graphs and floating figures. The fact that the stalker is originally portrayed as a sort of slasher movie villain—he sounds a lot like the Ghostface killer from the Scream movies—helps to emphasize just how deadly he is. However, we aren't given a clear picture of the women's personalities or the ways in which their experiences affected their lives. It certainly had to have been terrifying. However, the program lacks a particular viewpoint. Too frequently, it feels like these folks live in a different reality from our own, even though the purpose of something like this should ideally be to draw attention to how vulnerable everyone is to cyberstalking. Can I Tell You a Secret takes the increasingly popular decision to forgo having as many talking heads as possible in favor of crude dramatic recreations. By having the victims reenact key incidents from their harassment, they have further cut expenses."
