 "Gopi Puthran on Netflix and Vaani Kapoor's Mandala Murders: 'I have tried to do something new and...'")
YRF Entertainment’s hugely acclaimed Mandala Murders has broken out as the Number 1 series on Netflix and it has also smashed into the global top 10 non-English series charts on the platform. Director and creator Gopi Puthran is thrilled with the appreciation that this highly original series is getting from all quarters.
Gopi says, “Originality of imagination has been the cornerstone for content that breaks out. If you look at Mardaani to Mandala Murders, I have tried to do something new and I have been empowered to push the envelope with every single project at YRF. I’m delighted with the response that Mandala Murders is getting from the audience.”
He adds, “From being the No 1 trending show on Netflix India, to our hitting the global charts on the platform, Mandala Murders is off to a great start and it makes all of us very, very happy. I wanted to create a binge-able, mind-bending, genre-defying series with Mandala Murders. It was risky and very ambitious and I’m very happy to see the initial response to the series.”
Gopi is a big binger of psychological thrillers and mysteries that pushes audience to think about what is real, what is just sheer figment of imagination and can the occult exist in today’s modern world. For him, Mandala Murders was an attempt to play with the minds of the audience.
He says, “I’m a big fan of dark, moody, crime dramas that leave you on the edge of what is real, what is imagination and what is occult if it exists in today’s world.”
Gopi adds, “True Detective, The Sinners, Twin Peaks, Sharp Objects, are an exploration of how the mind can push people to the edge of belief and disbelief and if Mandala Murders is doing that to audiences in India with a story and a concept that’s rooted in India and our culture, it is truly delightful.”
