Netflix Tudum 2022 Announces Brand New TV Shows; Quality Content on the Rise

In terms of churning out topnotch content for the audience, Netflix India and Amazon Prime are the top two over-the-top (OTT) platforms in the country that have given us some of the best web-series over the past few years like Sacred Games, The Family Man, Mirzapur, among others.

It was Sacred Games that ushered in the OTT revolution in India and took the whole nation by storm with its innovative storyline, acting performances, background score, direction, production value, among others.

Netflix is the platform that many give credit for shooting an acting wizard like Nawazuddin Siddiqui into the celluloid stratosphere although he had become a name to reckon with through Gangs of Wasseypur 1 & 2.

Brief Summary

Sacred Games was Netflix’s first original series based on the novel of the same name by noted Writer/News Anchor Vikram Chandra that proved to be one of the biggest hit television shows on Netflix, eventually finding a place in The New York Times’ ‘The 30 Best International TV Shows of the Decade’ list.

The first season, consisting of 8 episodes, was released in 2018 in more than 189 countries in over 20 languages. Netflix, through this series, showed the entire world that Indian Cinema was way more than silly musicals with dance numbers and hyperactive melodrama that prompted the whole world to see Indian content in a whole new light.
