The diversity of stories, the diversity of formats, the number of languages we program in, the kind of different heterogeneous audiences that we cater to. So in every바카라 웹사이트country that is what our strategy is and that is what we’re doing in India also. We are on a very very strong growth path, we have great momentum with our audiences...there are so many films, series and licenced films (feature films) coming to the service that for us the strategy is very simple. It is Netflix for all and everything that we do is targeted to the largest base of audience."

"The format of a series really allows for an artist to perform and show so many shades, that they can demonstrate and that is where you have seen Madhuri in her features, you always admired her in her different roles. The way you see her, the emotional roller coaster she goes through, the grace and the dignity with which she performs, the way she crumbles, the way her emotional side is. Then I think about the entire cast and the kind of story that it is, with the suspense on one side, the mystery and yet the family relations on the other, the very universal emotions on the other; it라이브 바카라 really a very rich experience of storytelling and performance," she concludes.
