From Mughal-e-Azam to Heeramandi, a look at the world of courtesans in Hindi cinema

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's debut web series 'Heeramandi' narrates the story of courtesans of the pre-independent India. While the series is already being praised for its grand world-building, previous films based on courtesans have also focused on building a grand world while portraying the inner turmoil of courtesans. From Mughal-e-Azam to Gangubai Kathiawadi, different filmmakers took different approaches to portray courtesan life in movies. #heeramandi #gangubaikathiawadi  #mughaleazam #kalank #begumjaan #pakeezah #umraojaan #devdaas #hindicinema #entertainment #bollywood
