Heeramandi: New song Azadi gives more hints about the series’ plot

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's digital debut, web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is two days away from release. The excitement around the show is high as it is Bhansali's first OTT project and features a gamut of stars. Set in pre-independent India, the web series has multiple songs-composed by the filmmaker. On Monday, the makers released a new song called "Azadi" which gives a glimpse of the story. 

Following the resounding success of its first two songs, Sakal Ban and Tilasmi Bahein, the auteur released the third song from the series titled "Azadi". Featuring a star-studded cast including Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Manisha Koirala, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Shaikh, "Azadi" promises to be a poignant tribute to India's unsung heroes—the freedom fighters who dedicated their lives to the nation's independence struggle.

True to its name, "Azadi" embodies the spirit of patriotism, evoking a sense of pride and capturing the emotions behind a fight to free India.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali brings his signature grandeur, opulent sets, breath-taking costumes, and top-notch composition to "Azadi" with heart-touching and goosebump-worthy lyrics by A M Turaz. The musical prowess of "Azadi" is further accentuated by the stellar vocal performances of Archana Gore, Pragati Joshi, Arohi, Aditi Paul, Tarannum, and Aditi Prabhudesai. Enriched with traditional instrumentation such as the dhol and pakhawaj, the song is an original composition by the celebrated filmmaker and promises to move the patriot in you.

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar releases on Netflix on May 1.
