Recently Mr. India director Shekhar Kapur praised Team Heeramandi for their performances in the show. The director posted his review of the web series on his X (previously known as Twitter) handle. He wrote, "Sanjay Leela Bhansali's cinematic art is so seductive. He pulls you into his world and mesmerizes you. His images stayed with me long after I binge-watched the whole of #Heeramandi in one go.. and what an effective performance by Manisha Koirala @mkoirala. Finally, Netflix is giving Indian filmmakers the budgets they deserve."
Heeramandi opened to stellar reviews. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the series a 3-star rating out of 5 and he wrote, "Bhansali draws the very best out of the six principal members of the cast - Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal." He added, "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar isn't all pomp and show. Both nostalgic and elegiac, it contains a core that is worth more than all the glitter and glory of its packaging."
