Global and Regional Diversity on Full Display
This week’s slate underscores the platforms’ commitment to both international and vernacular content, ensuring a well-rounded catalogue for a linguistically diverse audience.
- GOOD NEWS (Netflix): Adding a touch of dark humour is the South Korean disaster comedy, which blends tension and laughs during a hijacking crisis. This continues the strong trend of global non-English content finding massive success with Indian viewers.
- KISHKINDHAPURI (ZEE5): The regional horror segment is covered by this Telugu horror thriller. Focused on ghost-hunting and supernatural suspense, the film ensures ZEE5 captures the audience demand for well-produced regional genre content.
