Netflix and Amazon Back Down on Daring Films in India

Umang Rana describes the landscape of streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon as ever-evolving in India, where there has been a recent shift away from supporting daring and unconventional films. In changing strategies, the platforms appear to be moving toward more commercial and mainstream content to cater to a broader audience—a shift that can be seen as a departure from their earlier focus on backing unique and experimental projects, raising questions pertaining to the impact of this change on filmmakers and the artistic diversity of Indian cinema.
