Blinded by bling. Heeramandi has predictably gorgeous sets, opulent costumes, magical lighting ...and no plot. The episodes follow courtesans in pre-Independence Lahore, but why is every character just short of being a caricature? Indresh Malik, as the queer but conniving Ustadji, stands out as the realest.

Imran Khan is returning to screens with Vir Das’ directorial debut, Happy Patel.

Waving hello, again. Imran Khan, everyone’s favourite AWOL actor, is returning to screens. In Vir Das’ directorial debut, Happy Patel, no less.

But this? It’s a serious allegation. Worst Behaviour, Lamar. Laugh Now, Cry Later.
