Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, who last directed 'The Vaccine War', has shared his perspective on the recently released streaming show 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar'.
The director feels that it바카라s not right to glamourise brothels, referring to them as monuments of human injustice, pain, and suffering.
Vivek recently took to X and praised a Pakistani doctor for her critique of the show.
The director quote-tweeted the doctor바카라s critique, which said that the show lacks research and that many things from the era that are intended to be shown don바카라t sit well with the facts.
Vivek wrote: "A brilliant critique. I haven바카라t seen the show, but I have visited Heeramandi in Lahore a few times. Bollywood has this tendency to romanticise courtesans and brothels. It바카라s a sad commentary because brothels have never been places of opulence, glamour, or beauty. These are monuments of human injustice, pain, and suffering."
He also recommended a film on a similar subject that he feels is more nuanced than the show, which marks Sanjay Leela Bhansali바카라s OTT debut.
Vivek added: "Those unfamiliar with this should watch Shyam Benegal바카라s Mandi. Also, a question we must ask: Does creativity give us the freedom to glamourise human suffering? Is it okay to make a film where slum life is depicted as a life of abundance?바카라
