Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s high-budget, lavish TV series on Netflix, Heeramandi, started off facing heavy trolling, with critics calling it an overly rich TV serial and particularly targeting Sharmin Segal for her lackluster performance.
However, Netflix releases its top 10 every Tuesday, and surprisingly, these brutal trolls had zero impact on the show’s viewership.
Heeramandi secured the second spot in the global non-English TV series category, amassing massive viewership.
For the week of April 29 – May 5, 2024, Heeramandi registered 33,000,000 viewing hours and 4,500,000 views.
This indicates that all the negative buzz is actually helping the show gain more views. The cast and grandeur are also contributing to its success. With its fresh setup and super-rich production values, the show is worth watching for those who aren’t overly critical.
