Recently, Netflix released its roster for this year that comprised about 40 titles that ranges from films and series to documentaries and comedy shows.
The emphasis is on “more variety and diversity than we have seen before”. With its first major Indian series, Bombay Begums, and film, Pagglait, releasing last month, here’s Netflix India’s Vice President Content, Monika Shergill and Director International Films, Srishti Arya, in conversation with us, as they speak of plans and challenges.
Excerpts:
What’s the big difference in this year’s slate?
Monika Shergill: 2020 was great for us, and this year will be a big leap from where we were last year, in terms of story scale, diversity, and variety, given that we are opening up new fronts like documentaries and new comedy shows. We will also return to content that did brilliantly for us last year, like Jamtara, Mismatched and Masaba Masaba. We are confident that it’s a power-packed slate!
