Monika Shergill Exclusive Podcast w/ Vanita Kohli-Khandekar | Beyond The Box Office | Netflix India

[@Learninggroundpf]

Heeramandi is a hit I am surprised most of my friends who saw say it’s below average

[@cherryH-d7t]

never felt like watching it..hated the casting tbh

[@amodhsaxena6103]

Ask her why they aren’t releasing Dibakar’s film they commissioned!

[@kauilya314]

Answer is obvious - there's no rule of law in India. Courts will cheerfully participate in persecuting dissent or anything ruling regime doesn't like.

[@Prateek987]

Cuz it’s a time waste shit

[@amodhsaxena6103]

@@Prateek987 Then why commission it?

[@bharathr6744]

It’s extremely hard to believe that we are listening to a VP! There’s no data to support, just hyping and talking like a fan-boy, so disappointing!

[@Sarchak]

True

[@shubhamroy4519]

So true

[@sweetvoilet]

Phew! I was not the only one thinking this interview is so shallow. Big words. Nothing else.

[@KushagraaDubeyy]

That’s more because of an ineffective and all talk no substance host than just the VP. Plus it’s your own expectation that’s misplaced, if you know the host and fundamentally her tone and approach in all her interviews, you wouldn’t have been this surprised.

[@donbantle5589]

Hey Vanita, I think your audience would have really appreciated a question regarding the evolution and current state of censorship on Netflix India?

[@versaillesthomas]

Even though diversity is showcased through predominantly buying movies of other industries, Disney and Amazon Prime do a far superior job with showcasing the diversity of multiple language creative industries in India. Netflix always has leaned towards Hindi content, barring the rare exception of Kohraa and a handful of others...

[@swarnayanchakraborty4618]

Netflix is nowhere close to Amazon Prime when it comes to rolling out a diverse slate for the Indian market

[@naseem1402]

Thats not true. Netflix releases a lot more indian stuff than Amazon Prime of late

[@swarnayanchakraborty4618]

None of the Netflix shows have broken through in the way Amazon shows regularly do

[@VamsiGatamaneni]

​@@naseem1402 so TRUE!!

[@santhoshrg7355]

Except adult content

[@sreekanthmohan2282]

Netflix started off as a video rental co in 1997 not 2007

[@gautamved007]

I think Monica needs a workshop for articulating more clearly. Wonder what her feedback would be for poor creators

[@StriderEl]

The irony is that all of Monika’s responses here, despite being a VP, would fail miserably at a Netflix job interview even at the individual contributor level. Surprisingly unstructured, roundabout, and clichéd.

[@bharathr6744]

100% true! I am quite surprised as well!

[@pkgp7056]

Please do series on drunk and drive / hit and run cases in India wherein rich culprit get special treatment by Police, Politicians, courts and many a times rich culprit get Scot free.

[@shubhamluhadia]

I love that everytime Monika became too "verbose", Vanita would ask her to explain with an example!

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

She wants to make it as simple as possible, for us! :)

[@rockersstudio5262]

The difference b/w Netflix and other OTT platforms is obviously the content, but also how it accurately recommends content based on preferences and taste. Additionally, it provides a well sorted list of movies and web series based on genre..and there is always new content available..

[@kaizenTechVideos]

Vanita Mam, Please do episodes with Guneet Monga, Sameer Nair, Dinesh Vijan. Thank you.

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

We shall pass on the word! :)

[@jayanthsurya4955]

Netflix focusing in hindi market more but lost its touch in South speaking laugages. Where prime and zee, disney got it......

[@risheekrs2274]

Its not that they are not taking south's content its just that they take the hindi version of their hindi. They rarely take the original version

[@Neon_Deleuze]

Lagta hai Netflix India se cartwheel karte nikal jayega

[@neetuhareet9431]

LOL

[@cherryH-d7t]

any music editors here??

[@devanshkhatri3753]

How can I pitch my story to Netflix India please tell Monika ma'am

[@JA48-random]

pitch to star kids first....

[@amodhsaxena6103]

Boss always cartwheels to work and bullshits his or her way to work.

[@1960vinay]

Suitable for the optics as VP at Netflix, some Trivia.....most interesting part of the talk show is when she describes the screening of Heeramandi at the Egyptian Theatre on Sunset Boulevard in LA.. but OTHERWISE one can notice Monika has no straight responses, diverges from questions by Vanita Kohli...repetitive, contradictory at times. Either she is great at her job or taking credit for someone else's efforts or just plain bad at Q&A's like this one

[@Sarchak]

This lady should be heading a toothpaste co or some fmcg brand. She will be doing an amazing job there. Not the right fit for a creative business

[@RY-xk7wp]

Not really true. Amazon perhaps does have more success in india, hut so does netflix. Jamtara, hermandi, sacred games, kira factory etc are all successful shows. In documentary zone netflix is way ahead.

[@raja-jl9os]

Matlab last 100 year's m hamne kuch bhi nhi banya? netflix k ane k baad hamne international ka series/movie banaya? 😂

[@JA48-random]

lot of bs --- i dont think kapil sharma show is hit on netflix

[@nitinjha159]

The worst web show I've seen in a long time...utter garbage

[@raja-jl9os]

80s and 90s is worst era in bollywood
