Netflix's new series Adolescence has become the talk of the town. The show has grabbed everyone's attention as each episode is shot in one-take. Many Indian celebs have praised the show, and the process of making it. Anurag Kashyap took to Instagram to praise Adolescence, but he has also bashed Netflix India as he feels that if an Indian filmmaker would have taken a concept like this to them, they would have rejected it or asked to be made as a 90-minute short film.

On Instagram, the filmmaker shared a screenshot of Ted Sarandos' post in which the CEO of Netflix is praising Adolescence. In the caption, Anurag also praised the series, and wrote, "I am numb and envious and jealous that someone can go and make that." He praised the performance of the child actor Owen Cooper, and wrote good about each and every technician as well. However, he ended his caption by writing, "My grouse with @netflix_in in comments."

Further, in comments, he wrote a long post in which he has bashed Netflix India. The comment reads, "Now coming to my envy and jealousy. Ted sarandos recently put a post where he says - “every once and awhile one comes along that pushes into brand new territories, defies the limits of creativity and features career defining performances. “. And I hope he means it . Because his on Netflix.in is a totally opposite shitshow . If they were pitched this, most probably they would have rejected it or turned it into a 90 minute film (that too seems like an impossibility because it doesn’t have an ending that is black and white)."

Anurag's Experience With Netflix Post Sacred Games

The filmmaker further revealed what happened with him post Sacred Games (one of the first Indian OTT shows). Anurag shared, "Having gone through twice with them post Sacred Games and dealing with total lack of empathy , courage and dumbness mixed with immense insecurity of the series head and the team that keeps getting fired. It frustrates me . How do we ever create something so powerful and honest with a bunch of most dishonest and morally corrupt @netflix.in backed so strongly by the boss in LA. This hypocrisy of Ted and Bella via a vis the indian market of 1.4 billion people , where there only interest is increase in subscriptions and nothing else."

Anurag On Netflix's Upcoming Show Saare Jahan Se Accha

The Gangs Of Wasseypur director wrote, "There was a time when Eric Barmack would reach out on Facebook to creats something with Netflix to now where they send you a shot show like “saare jahan se achcha “ - which wasn’t even written properly and half baked. Which by the way has already changed directors and been shot twice (inevitably). It makes me frustrated , jealous of shows like Adolescence and envious and hopeless. I hope they learn from the reception of it and realise that all the best things indian netflix does is mostly either acquired (Delhi Crime, Black warrant) or the ones they least believed in ( kohrra , trial by fire ) . Fingers crossed for a better future."

Clearly, the filmmaker is very upset with the OTT platform.

A few days ago, Anurag Kashyap had made it to the headlines as in an interview, he had stated that he has left Mumbai, and he wants to stay away from people as the Hindi film industry has become very toxic, and the creative atmosphere has gone.
