Monika
Shergill,

Content,
Netflix
India,
shares,
“Tamil
cinema
has
a
passionate
fanbase,
driven
by
original
ideas,
strong
craft,
and
deep
emotional
connection.
We’ve
seen
Tamil
films
travel
widely
on
Netflix
–
watched,
discussed,
and
embraced
in
India
and
around
the
world.
This
is
the
fourth
year
we’re
announcing
our
Tamil
licensed
film
slate
around
Pongal,
and
it’s
been
encouraging
to
see
audiences
respond
to
content-led
films
across
genres,
with
growing
openness
to
stories
that
move
beyond
traditional
formats.
Films
like
Idlikadai,
Dude,
Dragon
and
Bison
reflect
this
range.
As
we
look
ahead,
we’re
excited
to
continue
partnering
with
filmmakers
to
back
bold,
well-crafted
stories
across
genres
and
voices.”
