Anurag Kashyap recently shared a long note heaping praise on the British Netflix drama Adolescence. The maverick filmmaker didn’t mince his words while calling out the ‘hypocrisy’ of the ‘dishonest and morally corrupt’ top bosses of the streaming platform. Most recently, the filmmaker issued a clarification after calling Saare Jahan Se Accha ‘half-baked.’

Taking to his Instagram stories, Anurag Kashyap shared a note clarifying his remark on Pratik Gandhi, Tillotama Shome, and Kritika Kamra’s spy-thriller Saare Jahan Se Accha.

He wrote, “Just a clarification. I have not seen the show to comment on the outcome. I talked about the time when Netflix.in brought a half-baked show to me as compensation for abandoning maximum city. It was half baked then. Since then there has been writers and creators who have worked on it. And only when it comes out,, one will know it’s good or bad. #saareJahanseAchcha.”

For the unversed, the Gangs of Wasseypur director shared an appreciation post for the drama show, Adolescence, and alleged that top bosses of the streaming platform would’ve rejected such a show from India or would’ve turned it into a 90-minute film.

Expressing his frustration, Kashyap asked, “How do we ever create something so powerful and honest with a bunch of most dishonest and morally corrupt @netflix.in backed so strongly by the boss in LA,” in one part of his long note.

He further exposed the hypocrisy of the top bosses of the streaming platform by alleging that their only interest in India is to increase the subscriptions and nothing else.

“There was a time when Eric Barmack would reach out on Facebook to create something with Netflix to now where they send you a shot show like “saare jahan se achcha“ – which wasn’t even written properly and half baked. Which by the way has already changed directors and been shot twice (inevitably).,” he remarked.

“It makes me frustrated , jealous of shows like Adolesence and envious and hopeless. I hope they learn from the reception of it and realise that all the best things indian netflix does is mostly either acquired (Delhi Crime, Black warrant) or the ones they least believed in ( kohrra , trial by fire ) . Fingers crossed for a better future,” he concluded.
