The first month of the year has been quite interesting at Netflix. Why so? Because we got some highly interesting titles and they were quite successful too. But should we call it a successful month?
Let’s talk about the releases first before we begin with the analysis.
Original Series
Killer Soup
Licensed Films
Salaar, Animal, Starfish
Analysis
Killer Soup has two of India’s finest actors in lead. Manoj Bajpayee and Konkana Sen Sharma are more than outstanding actors who pulled off the show entirely on their soldiers but what about the series?
Well, it is tiring. It is simply not good. We have n number of films and soulless shows carried solely by actors and Killer Soup is just another addition. Even in terms of views, it is not something extraordinary.
Original films? Oh, where are they?
There were no original films released in January and it is indeed sad. But, they have a schedule in February nonetheless.
Let’s talk about the licensed films. There were two major releases, namely Salaar and Animal. Both of them got insane views but Animal almost ate up Salaar in the second week.
Also, Animal created a new record of the biggest ever debut by any Indian film.
So what about the overall performance of Netflix? It is simply not good. The debut of Netflix in 2024 could be leaps and bounds better than what has happened.
We can’t give it more than 4 out of 10.
