Reality shows on Netflix are bizarre. They come in different forms and shapes, with a winner in the end based on who was able to endure the rules of the game. Squid Game: The Challenge, Physical 100, Surviving Paradise, Selling Sunset, Love is Blind, and Indian Matchmaking are some examples of reality shows that have appeared on Netflix for the world to watch. Despite its mediocre content, a percentage of the audience from around the world consumes these shows, which encourages Netflix to come up with newer forms of entertainment.

A pair of top international executives have joined forces to build a UK-based talent agency and production business.
Thomas Drachkovitch and Jason Hafford will lead Dream Bay Entertainment, with former Amazon exec Drachkovitch the founder and Managing Director and ex-CAA rep Hafford co-founder and Head of Dbe Management.
The company, which Drachkovitch launched last year after exiting his role at Amazon Studios (now Amazon MGM Studios), comprises film and television production, literary and talent management, and media advisory services divisions. Based out of London, Dream Bay’s bosses plan to offer “a unique blend of strategic guidance, development expertise, and industry insights.”
LA native Drachkovitch left his UK-based role as Original Series Development Executive at Amazon Studios in 2022 having overseen commissioning initiatives across global markets.
He had previously been based in India, where he helped spearhead the launch of Amazon Studios’ first Indian content slate out of Mumbai, including shows such as Comicstaan,...

We have Indian Match Making, a reality television show on Netflix that markets marriage as an institution everyone should aspire to be in. This show was primarily made to point out the mindset of the Indians in their country and the diaspora living abroad, desperately wanting to be in touch with their culture and legacy. It paints only the happy picture of two families coming together in the name of holy matrimony. Then we have Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s Made in Heaven, which shows the ugly face of weddings and subsequent marriages. The show is as real as it gets. These are two opposite ends of the spectrums about one institution based on which the society of our country thrives.
Tanuja Chandra’s latest documentary, Wedding.Con, produced along with BBC India, talks about the horrors of marriages that are being initiated via matrimonial websites. Women are conned...

Reality television shows have been quite a crowd-pleaser since the advent of television. The Ott space has gotten a taste for it and managed to foray into this genre. Netflix itself has given a platform to so many shows, such as Love is Blind, Indian Matchmaking, Too Hot to Handle, In Real Love, What the Love! and The Ultimatum: Queer Love. These shows have multiple editions with many seasons under their belt, which proves there is an audience for this kind of content. Many take this seriously, and for the rest, it is just a guilty pleasure.
This ten-episode, overstretched dating reality show begins with the previous season’s hosts, Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey, bringing forward five couples who have given their respective partners an ultimatum to marry them. The whole idea behind this demand put forward by the partner is to understand their better half’s intention with this relationship.

Although the Best Structured Reality Program Emmy has only gone to two series (“Shark Tank” and “Queer Eye”) since being introduced in 2014, the corresponding unstructured award has been won by six different shows in the same stretch of time. “Love on the Spectrum” took the 2022 prize but is out of the running this time, leaving 2021 winner “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked” as the only show with a shot at pulling off the category’s first repeat victory in four years.
“Untucked” is one of three returning contenders in the current Best Unstructured Reality Program lineup, along with “Indian Matchmaking” and “Selling Sunset.” Both were bested by RuPaul’s series in 2021, while the latter also lost alongside it in 2022. Rounding out this bunch are “Vanderpump Rules,” which has finally broken through with Emmy voters after 10 seasons, and new show “Welcome to Wrexham,” which, according to Gold Derby’s odds, is heavily favored to win.

It started with a curious text message from a friend, which stood out among the usual messages of congratulations coming through to my phone for the premiere of the third season of my Netflix show Indian Matchmaking: “To the devil w the Nyt! You keep making, we’ll keep watching. Trust that your viewer isn’t dumb. You just keep slaying, Smriti!”
Devil to The New York Times? I ripped open my Sunday paper and there it was, smack in the middle of The New York Times Magazine. The headline blared: “It’s Time To Break Up With Indian Matchmaking.” Oof.
The article itself went on to repeat many of the same missives I’ve heard about the show since its debut in peak-pandemic 2020 — that it doesn’t do enough to interrogate the colorism and casteism within the Indian community, that the creators (me) let a 60-something woman spew patriarchal one-liners unchecked,...

Indian Matchmaking could be a match for Emmy voters. Season 2 of the Netflix series is up for consideration as Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program, following season 1’s nomination in that same category. Season 3 of the show, which premiered on Netflix last month, takes audiences to the U.K. for the first time, peeking into the lives of the young Indians living in London searching for their ideal love match with the expert guidance of the show’s captivating yet feisty matchmaker, Seema Taparia.

Netflix's Jewish Matchmaking makes for an interesting paradox. Produced by the team behind Indian Matchmaking, the eight-episode series fails spectacularly as a dating show. Matchmaker Aleeza Ben Shalom spends hardly any time with this group of love-seeking singles, and the series readily introduces and then abandons its subjects, leaving viewers without updates, let alone closure, on the couples that do emerge. At the same time, however, Jewish Matchmaking is one of the first shows on television to embrace the diversity of the Jewish community by featuring Jews of different races and ethnicities and with varying degrees of observance.

“Indian Matchmaking” had become a phenomenon since its first season was released in the year 2020, amidst the long lockdown when people had nothing better to do. All of us indulged in the show just like any other dating show, from the television days to the dating shows on the Ott platforms. The only difference here is that the show caters to only the arranged marriage setup, which is a common phenomenon not just in India but among the Indian diaspora living across the world. It was all about Seema Taparia, the most renowned matchmaker in the country, and her belief in arranged marriage, which made her a successful businesswoman in the field of matchmaking.
When the world is filled with dating applications where people are struggling to find a match for themselves that will stick with them forever, Seema Taparia guarantees success in her way of finding your perfect partner.

So many great stories in history start out with the key players hating each other — as it is in Netflix and A24’s “Beef,” streaming on Netflix in April. Amy (Ali Wong) and Danny (Steven Yeun) meet via parking lot bump turned action-movie car chase, their lives connecting and their road rage lingering in weeks and months after the incident. In reviewing the series, IndieWire’s Ben Travers said that “’Beef’ does a fine job balancing Amy and Danny’s practical intelligence and impractical passions; their bitterness toward the other driver ebbs and flows as their personal lives better or worsen, and it’s in these moments that the half-hour drama thrives.”
The series from Lee Sung Jin premieres on April 6. See below for more titles coming to Netflix in April 2023.

The much-talked-about Netflix docu-series ‘The Romantics’, which is a tribute to the legacy of Yash Chopra, Yrf and it’s cultural impact on India and Indians for the past 50 years, released on Feb 14. The national over-pouring of love for Yash Chopra and Yrf was evident. Shah Rukh Khan, who shared an incredible relationship with Yash Chopra and called him a father figure in his life, reveals how he said no to Aditya Chopra to sign ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, directed by Adi’s father Yash Chopra!
Srk, who collaborated with Yash Chopra on cult blockbusters like Darr, Dil Toh Pagal Hai, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Jab Tak Hai Jaan says, “I remember he had started speaking a lot more. ‘I am not doing a film.

Smriti Mundhra, director of hit Netflix documentary series “The Romantics,” has said that the success of her show and of Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan” proves that audiences continue loving Bollywood.
The star-studded, four-part series features 35 leading voices of the Hindi-language film industry and dives into the history of Bollywood through the lens of the studio Yash Raj Films’ impact over the past 50 years in making the industry globally known. It bowed on Netflix on Feb. 14 and quickly entered the top 10 charts in nine countries.
A few days earlier, Yash Raj Films’ “Pathaan,” Khan’s comeback film, had a roaring debut and has grossed $125 million so far. The film and series reversed a two-year trend on social media where the Hindi film industry was trolled with the BoycottBollywood hashtag.
“After a dark period defined by bad faith attacks and global uncertainty around the theatrical business, it is amazing to see audiences embracing Bollywood again.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan along with Karan Johar, late actor Rishi Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan in ‘The Romantics’ open their hearts about how the Hindi film industry has the power to shape pop culture for India and Indians.
Shah Rukh feels Hindi cinema is part of our DNA and they spread joy and love in the world.
He says, “Our cinema is as much a part of our lives in India, as much as you wake up in the morning and brush your teeth. It’s just an inherent part of us. There’s beauty in the cinema that Indian filmmakers have stuck vis-a-vis music or keeping it still like a musical format.”
Karan Johar says our films try to depict the country’s culture in the most vibrant way possible.
He says: “We’re an incredible place. We’re a country of so many cultures and so many religions.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has talked about how he perfected his stammer in the 1993 film ‘Darr’ and revealed how he used to bounce off crazy ideas to nail his villainous act in the Yash Chopra blockbuster.
Srk, on the docu-series ‘The Romantics’, said: “I had a classmate who had a stammer and then we did some little study, some BBC documentary where they talked about that people’s minds become aware to one sound, and it’s like a sharp current.”
“So, you can’t say the word because you become aware of a sound. Let’s make him aware of the woman he loves the most, her name. So, I only stammer on the word Kiran. It was just for that one word because he’s so aware of her.”
He added: “I had some really fantastically stupid ideas, like I remember once going to Adi and saying,...

Smriti Mundhra, the creator of “Indian Matchmaking,” has launched a show called “The Romantics” on Netflix just in time for Valentine’s Day. The docuseries centers on a bastion of Hindi cinema, Yash Raj Films, which just released the smash hit “Pathaan.” Netflix releases the series day and date in India, the U.S. and around the world. And it is coming just as interest in films from the subcontinent are piquing international interest.
“It was sort of on my bucket list to make something about Indian cinema, broadly,” she tells Variety. “The intention was to look at the formative, most iconic films in Indian cinema, or the filmmakers — something that gives a glimpse into our industry.”
To Mundhra, there was a gap in world knowledge of the films coming out of Mumbai, even though many people thought they knew “Bollywood.”
“When I was in film school I studied all the auteurs of world cinema,...

Indian-American filmmaker Smriti Mundhra is again collaborating with Netflix on docu-series The Romantics, which looks back on 50 years of iconic Indian film studio Yash Raj Films (Yrf) and its late founder Yash Chopra.
The four-part series is streaming globally from today (February 14), deliberately coinciding with Valentine’s Day, as Chopra was known for directing romantic films such as Kabhi Kabhie, Veer-Zaara, Chandni and Lamhe.
Mundhra has filmed interviews with 35 figures of the Hindi-language film industry, from major stars including all three ‘Khans’, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, to producers, writers, critics, journalists, and costume designers.
But the real coup was getting Chopra’s famously reclusive son, Aditya Chopra, to talk on camera. A filmmaker in his own right, Chopra directed the longest-running Hindi film ever, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (known colloquially as Ddlj), and took over the reins of the studio following his father’s death in...
