He also congratulated co-creator Jack Thorne and the entire team, emphasising that such a project could only be realised through the dedication and determination of a committed creative team.
Criticism of Netflix India
While Kashyap슬롯사이트™s admiration for Adolescence was effusive, his tone shifted sharply when he turned his attention to Netflix India. Referring to the post by Ted Sarandos, in which the Netflix Global CEO praised shows that "push into brand-new territories, defy the limits of creativity, and feature career-defining performances," Kashyap expressed hope that Sarandos genuinely meant those words. However, he lamented that Netflix India슬롯사이트™s reality was starkly different.
Kashyap recounted his own struggles with Netflix India, describing his experiences as frustrating and disheartening. He accused the platform of lacking empathy, courage, and vision, attributing these shortcomings to the "immense insecurity" of its leadership, which he claims is plagued by frequent firings and a lack of creative integrity. He questioned how Indian creators could produce powerful and honest content under such conditions, calling Netflix India슬롯사이트™s executives "dishonest and morally corrupt."슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Adolescence슬롯사이트�: From Second Episode슬롯사이트™s Chase Sequence to Eddie슬롯사이트™s Final Breakdown, 5 Unforgettable Scenes From Stephen Graham슬롯사이트™s Netflix Series That Are Hard To Forget (Watch Videos).
Did Anurag Kashyap Expose 'Saare Jahan Se Achha슬롯사이트™s Poor Quality Ahead of Its Release?
The filmmaker also criticised Netflix India슬롯사이트™s prioritisation of subscription growth over meaningful storytelling. He contrasted the platform슬롯사이트™s current state with its earlier days, when executives like Eric Barmack actively reached out to creators to collaborate on innovative projects. Kashyap pointed to the platform슬롯사이트™s recent original offerings, such as Saare Jahan Se Achha, as examples of poorly written, half-baked productions that required reshoots and director changes.

Kashyap expressed his envy for shows like Adolescence, which he believes would never have been greenlit by Netflix India. He noted that the platform슬롯사이트™s best Indian content, such as Delhi Crime and Trial by Fire, were either acquired later or initially underestimated by Netflix India. This, he argued, highlights a disconnect between Netflix슬롯사이트™s global vision and its approach to the Indian market.
Despite his frustrations, Kashyap remains hopeful that Netflix India will adopt a more supportive and visionary approach to storytelling in the future.
