Ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced that he is going to be making a web series on the life of courtesans set in the pre-Independence era, we knew we were in for a special treat.
The intricate costumes, the breathtaking sets and the melodious tunes of ‘Sakal Ban’ have been on everyone’s mind and now that the series has finally been released on Netflix, we can’t say we’re disappointed!
