About Sakal Ban
Sakal Ban, sung beautifully by Raja Hasan with lyrics from Amir Khusro, has backing vocals from Umesh Joshi, Vijay Dhuri, Shripad Lele, Amit Padhye, and Shahzad Ali. The song presents everything viewers have come to expect from a Sanjay Leela Bhansali creation: from beautiful period-set costumes, a grand set and multiple background dancers, all choreographed into symmetrical harmony by Kruti Mahesh and Vijayshree Chaudhary.
The almost three-minute-long video features Manisha Koirala's character bringing Sharmin to the courtyard where all the other women are present. Richa Chadha's character then begins to dance gracefully and makes way for Manisha to step in after a few moments. Aditi Rao Hydari also joins in. It all leads to an evening of dance and shared happiness. Bhansali Productions shared the video on their Instagram account as well and added the caption, “Step into spring to celebrate the season of flowers, blossoming with beauty, strength and grace!”

The series, which also stars Sonakshi Sinha in a pivotal role, explores the cultural reality of Heeramandi, a dazzling district, through the stories of courtesans and their patrons set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s. The official streaming date of the show is still awaited. The first look of the series was unveiled last month.
