As
we
continue
to
go
through
the
lockdown
due
to
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
everyone’s
best
friend
to
pass
the
time
right
now
is
Netflix.
The
OTT
platform
gives
unlimited
entertainment
to
the
audience
through
its
varied
selection
of
films
and
web
shows.
One
of
the
recently
released
films
on
the
popular
platform
was
Yeh
Ballet.
The
Netflix
Original
film,
directed
by
Salaam
Bombay
and
The
Namesake
writer
Sooni
Taraporevala
and
produced
by
Siddharth
Roy
Kapur’s
Roy
Kapur
Films,
talks
about
the
journey
of
two
gifted
teenagers
from
the
underprivileged
areas
of
Mumbai
trying
to
fulfill
their
dreams
of
being
dancers
and
the
obstacles
they
face
on
this
path.
The
film
is
perceived
to
be
a
hidden
gem
in
the
plethora
of
content
on
Netflix.
And
recently,
during
a
Netflix
Earnings
Call,
the
CEO
of
Netflix,
Reed
Hastings
has
suggested
the
film
in
his
list
of
recommendations.
This
is
the
very
first
time
that
the
platform’s
head
honcho
has
picked
an
Indian
film
as
a
recommendation.
The
film
is
a
tale
that
is
inspiring
on
many
levels.
It
shows
how
one
can
dream,
and
dream
big,
no
matter
where
they
come
from.
After
receiving
rave
reviews
in
India
upon
its
premiere
in
February,
it’s
a
feather
in
the
cap
and
quite
an
achievement
for
the
makers
that
a
visionary
like
Mr.
Hastings
has
handpicked
this
content
masterpiece
as
his
recommendation
for
global
audiences.
