Netflix reveals viewership stats: 13 percent of US viewership comes from non-English titles, 80 percent of members engage with K-content

Netflix has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering local language content with global appeal at its first International Showcase on Monday. The event, led by Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria, featured creative heads from regions including Asia-Pacific (APAC), Latin America (LATAM), Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and India, who unveiled new titles and shared insights on the platform’s growing viewership trends.

Expanding Local Storytelling Netflix executives emphasized the platform's deepening partnerships with over 1,000 producers across 50 countries. The company showcased exclusive footage from upcoming non-English titles such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (Colombia), The Leopard (Italy), Last Samurai Standing (Japan), The Empress Season 2 (Germany), Alice in Borderland Season 3 (Japan), and Senna (Brazil), among others. These stories, crafted with local authenticity, aim to captivate homegrown audiences first, a priority Bajaria stressed during the event.

“There’s no such thing as making a global show,” she said. “When you try to make something that appeals to everyone, you just end up making something that appeals to no one.” Global Demand for Non-English Titles Highlighting the rising demand for international content, Bajaria shared that 70% of all viewing on Netflix involves subtitles or dubbing, reflecting the platform’s ability to connect global audiences with diverse stories. Korean content, in particular, is a standout, with over 80% of Netflix members worldwide consuming K-content, according to Minyoung Kim, Vice President of Content, APAC.

In the United States, a market traditionally dominated by local productions, non-English content accounted for 13% of viewing hours last year, with Korean, Spanish, and Japanese titles leading the charge. Bajaria noted that Netflix’s robust recommendation system and superior dubbing and subtitling options contribute significantly to the popularity of these shows. Authenticity Drives Success Regional content heads shared how their upcoming projects reflect local cultures. Tinny Andreatta, VP of Content for Italy, spoke about the ambitious production of The Leopard, which captures a pivotal moment in Italian history. Similarly, Diego Avalos, VP of Content for Spain, highlighted the platform’s effort to produce stories from every region of Spain, likening it to creating content across all 50 U.S. states.

“People like the authenticity of local stories,” Bajaria reiterated, underscoring that prioritizing the creators’ vision is central to Netflix’s strategy. What’s Next for Netflix? With titles spanning continents and genres, Netflix continues to strengthen its reputation as a platform for diverse storytelling. As global audiences increasingly embrace non-English content, Netflix remains at the forefront, making regional stories more accessible and impactful worldwide.

SCOOP: Makers of Chhaava also considering releasing the Vicky Kaushal-starrer on Shivaji Jayanti 2025

The power-packed teaser of Chhaava was released on August 14 and attached with the prints of Stree 2. It stars Vicky Kaushal in a never-before-seen avatar and as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The promo got a roaring response and immediately, the excitement for it went many notches higher. The makers also announced that the film will be released on December 6. This meant a clash with Pushpa 2, arguably the most awaited film of the year. Many in the industry and trade hoped that this clash would be averted. With two weeks to go for December 6, it is clear now that Chhaava is not releasing on the said date and that Pushpa 2 will come solo. However, Maddock Films, the prestigious banner backing Chhaava, has still not announced the new release date for their film.

As per reports, producer Dinesh Vijan and his dedicated team are looking at multiple dates to bring the period film to cinemas. Reportedly, he’s looking at December 20 and January 10. Now, Bollywood Hungama has learnt that the producers are also toying with releasing the film in the second or third week of February 2025.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Chhaava is the story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, whose father was the national hero Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. His birth anniversary, called Shivaji Jayanti, is celebrated on February 19 every year with a lot of pomp in Maharashtra. The makers felt that releasing Chhaava around this time could be apt.”

The source continued, “If they lock this period to release Chhaava, they’ll need to figure out whether to release it on February 14 or February 21 since February 19 falls on Wednesday.”

An industry expert commented, “All the dates under consideration are packed. Mufasa: The Lion King and Vanwaas are scheduled for a release on December 20 followed by Baby John on December 25 while Game Changer releases on January 10. The Ram Charan starrer might not pose a big competition but then it’s just two weeks before the release of Sky Force, another ambitious film of Maddock, starring Akshay Kumar, which releases on January 24. February 14 and 21 are also crowded with releases like Deva, Sanki, Dhadak 2 and Raid 2. Meanwhile, the holy month of Ramadan is expected to start from February 28. Hence, it remains to be seen how Dinesh Vijan manages to find a perfect release date for Chhaava.”

Besides Vicky Kaushal, Chhaava also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna and Divya Dutta. It is directed by Laxman Utekar, of Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023) and Mimi (2021) fame.

तुटलेले नख

 तुटलेले नख आणि नाते: संवेदनशीलतेचे प्रतीक

जीवनात प्रत्येक गोष्ट आपल्या भावनांना स्पर्श करते. अगदी छोटीशी गोष्ट, जसे की तुटलेले नख, आपण विचार केल्यास खूप मोठा अर्थ देऊन जाते. हेच तुटलेले नख आणि नाते यांच्यात काहीतरी समानता आहे, जी आपल्याला आयुष्याकडे नव्या दृष्टिकोनातून पाहायला शिकवते.

तुटलेले नख: वेदना आणि संयम

नख तुटले की आपल्याला तीव्र वेदना होते, पण काही काळानंतर ते नख पुन्हा वाढते. हाच अनुभव आपल्याला सांगतो की, काही गोष्टी कायमस्वरूपी नसतात. जसे नख तुटल्यावर त्याचे वेदनादायक असणे टळते, तसेच नात्यांत आलेले ताणतणावही वेळेनुसार कमी होऊ शकतात. मात्र, त्यासाठी संयम आणि काळजी घेणे महत्त्वाचे असते.

नाते: जपणूक आणि सुधारणा

नातेही तुटलेल्या नखासारखे असते. कधी कधी त्यात वाद, गैरसमज किंवा अंतर येते. या क्षणांमध्ये, तुटलेल्या नखासारखेच, नाते सांभाळायला संयम आणि काळजी आवश्यक असते. तुटलेले नख जसे वेळेनुसार बरे होते, तसेच नातेसुद्धा संवाद, विश्वास आणि प्रेमाने पुन्हा मजबूत होऊ शकते.

दोन गोष्टींतला समान धागा

तुटलेले नख आपल्याला स्मरण करून देते की, वेदना तात्पुरत्या असतात, परंतु त्यातून शिकायला मिळते. त्याचप्रमाणे, नात्यातील ताण-तणावसुद्धा आपल्याला शिकवतात की, प्रत्येक नाते नाजूक असते, पण त्याला नव्याने आकार देता येतो. तुटलेले नख कधी कधी कुरूप दिसते, पण जेव्हा ते पुन्हा वाढते, तेव्हा ते पूर्वीपेक्षा अधिक सुंदर वाटते. तुटलेले नातेही संवाद आणि समजुतीने अधिक घट्ट होऊ शकते.

निखळ संवाद आणि संयमाचे महत्त्व

तुटलेले नख जसे सहज दुरुस्त करता येते, तसेच नात्यातील समस्याही संवादाने सोडवता येतात. कुठलेही नाते संपूर्णपणे परिपूर्ण नसते. त्यात काही न काही कमतरता असतेच, पण त्या दुरुस्त करून पुढे जाणे हेच जीवनाचे खरे सौंदर्य आहे.

शेवटचे विचार

तुटलेले नख आणि तुटलेले नाते या दोन्ही गोष्टी आपल्याला संयम, काळजी आणि दुरुस्तीचा महत्त्वाचा धडा देतात. म्हणूनच, तुटलेल्या नखाला बरे होऊ दे आणि तुटलेल्या नात्याला नव्याने फुलू दे. जीवनात प्रत्येक वेदना ही नवीन सुरुवातीची शक्यता घेऊन येते.

तुटलेल्या नखावर औषध लावा, पण तुटलेल्या नात्यांवर संवादाची फुंकर घाला.

Dilip Joshi, aka Jethalal, to quit Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah after alleged fight with producer Asit Modi? Actor BREAKS SILENCE!

Dilip Joshi, known for his iconic portrayal of Jethalal in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), has addressed the viral rumours about an alleged fight with the show’s producer, Asit Modi. The actor denied these reports, calling them baseless and hurtful.

"False Stories Hurt Us and Our Fans" Responding to claims that he had a heated argument with Asit Modi, even holding the producer by his collar, Joshi issued a heartfelt statement. He expressed frustration over the spread of false information, saying: "There have been some stories in the media about me and Asit Bhai that are completely false, and it really saddens me to see such things being said. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a show that means so much to me and millions of fans, and when people spread baseless rumors, it hurts not only us but also our loyal viewers." "Negativity Around the Show Is Disheartening" Joshi emphasised the impact of such rumours on the cast, crew, and fans of the beloved sitcom. He stated: "It’s disheartening to see negativity being spread about something that has brought so much joy to so many for so many years. Every time such rumours pop up, it feels like we’re constantly explaining that they are completely untrue. It’s tiring, and it’s frustrating."

The actor further speculated that jealousy over the show’s continued success might be a factor behind these recurring controversies. "No Plans to Quit TMKOC" Putting an end to rumours about his departure from the show, Joshi confirmed his commitment to TMKOC. He said: "Earlier, there were even rumours about me leaving the show, which is completely false. We all stand together in our commitment to make this show the best it can be. Let’s focus on the positivity and joy that this show brings to so many." Previous Controversies on TMKOC Sets This isn’t the first time the show has made headlines. Several former cast members, including Shailesh Lodha, Jennifer Mistry, and Palak Sindhwani, have alleged harassment, abuse, and non-payment of dues by Modi and the co-producers. Jennifer Mistry also accused Modi of sexual harassment. Joshi, however, has dismissed the current allegations surrounding his relationship with Modi as unfounded.

Madhuri Dixit reflects on moving abroad after marriage: “I never felt like I was leaving the public eye”

Madhuri Dixit shocked many by stepping away from acting at the height of her career to get married. In 1999, she tied the knot with Dr. Shriram Nene and relocated to Colorado, where they lived a quiet life away from the spotlight for several years. In 2011, the family, including their two sons, Arin and Ryan, returned to India. Recently, Madhuri, who appeared in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, shared her thoughts on moving abroad after marriage, saying she didn’t miss anything about her earlier life.

In an interview with Galatta India, Madhuri Dixit shared, “I was very happy because for me, the paraphernalia was not very important to me. I loved what I do. I love acting, dancing and everything to do with my profession. Anything else is just bonus like people considering you as a star. But I haven’t ever felt that way about me. So for me, it was never like, ‘Oh my god, I am going away from the public eye. I am getting married at the peak of my career.’ I never thought of it that way.”

She further explained, “I just thought I have met the right person for me. This is the man I want to marry and I am going to get married to this guy because everybody dreams for themselves. For me, it was like having a house, a husband, having family, and kids. I love kids. So, having kids was big part of that dream.”

The Saajan star shared, “When people say, ‘Oh, you were away, and didn’t you miss?’, I be like, ‘No, I didn’t miss because I was living my dream.”

Dr. Shriram Nene, speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia about his marriage to Madhuri Dixit, said, “I don’t know her like that (superstar). She is my wife and partner, and my encouragement to people is be what you always wanted to be and support the people with you. We are partners in a marriage where we look out for each other forever. If you develop that kind of relationship, it doesn’t matter what they did. I never knew her past history and she never knew mine. We came from very different worlds yet similar. Like sub-region Maharashtra, same kind of language and background. Neither of us thought that this would happen. I would say this is the most amazing thing in my life.”

On the work front, Madhuri Dixit appeared in films such as Pukar, Gaja Gamini, Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke, Lajja, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Devdas, and Aaja Nachle. She made a notable comeback with a special song in Ranbir Kapoor's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and went on to star in various Hindi and Marathi films. Additionally, she served as a judge on several reality TV shows, including Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

EXCLUSIVE: Rakesh Roshan reveals Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan stayed in 15x15 rooms during Karan Arjun shoot; recalls turning under-construction Aashram into hotel for cast

One of the most celebrated films in Indian cinema, Karan Arjun (1995), starring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, is gearing up for a grand re-release on November 22, 2024. Directed by Rakesh Roshan, this blockbuster will mark the biggest worldwide re-release ever for a Hindi film. In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Rakesh Roshan reminisced about working with the two superstars during the making of the film.

"A Simpler Time on Set": Roshan on Working with Shah Rukh and Salman When asked about the difference between working with stars then and now, Rakesh Roshan fondly recalled the simpler times of filmmaking in the 1990s.

"You won't believe it," he shared. "I made the entire film in 80-90 days. When we went for outdoor shoots, Shah Rukh’s room was 15 by 15 feet, and Salman’s was the same. Kajol and the others had similar rooms too. There was an ashram nearby, under construction. There were no hotels in that village. I gave them money and asked them to turn it into a hotel. I said, ‘Build a bathroom in every room.’ They said the rooms would become smaller, and I replied, ‘No problem. Just put an AC and a bathroom.’ Shah Rukh and Salman stayed there." “Like Waking Up Kids”: The Stars’ Morning Routine On being asked about the difference in acting styles between Shah Rukh and Salman, Roshan noted how their personalities blended seamlessly with their characters:

"When we were making the film, it never felt like acting. Shah Rukh behaved exactly like Arjun, and Salman was just like Karan. I would personally wake them up in the mornings. Many times, I would go to their rooms at 6 AM and say, ‘Shah Rukh, wake up.’ It was like waking up children. Salman, on seeing me, would pull a pillow over his face and say, ‘I’m getting ready.’ I would insist, ‘No, no, go to the bathroom and bathe.’ I wouldn’t leave their rooms until they were fully ready."

Speaking of Karan Arjun's re-releasing, Hrithik Roshan has given the voiceover for the re-release trailer. The way he passionately wrote a post on the release of Karan Arjun’s new trailer makes it clear that he’s very excited about it.

Aamir Khan reveals therapy helped him heal his relationship with daughter Ira Khan

Aamir Khan is working to repair his relationship with his daughter, Ira Khan. The actor shared that they are attending joint therapy to address and resolve their issues. In a Netflix India video, Aamir joined Ira and Dr. Vivek Murthy to discuss mental health.

During the chat Aamir said, “Therapy is so helpful. I think she (Ira) pushed me down that path. I would strongly recommend therapy to anyone who feels the need for it? It has been helpful for me. In fact, Ira and I also have started joint therapy. The two of us go to a therapist for our own relationship. To work on how to make that better and issues which have been there for over years.”

In a candid conversation on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast “Chapter 2,” Aamir Khan expressed regret over his absence from his children’s lives, which he believes contributed to his decision to leave the film industry.

Aamir Khan, a prominent figure in Indian cinema for over three decades, acknowledged that the pandemic gave him a harsh wake-up call about his priorities. He admitted that his intense career focus had led him to miss key moments in the lives of his three children — Ira, Junaid, and Azad.

Aamir Khan recalled the struggles his children faced during his absence and expressed deep regret. He reflected, “Ira was struggling with depression at the time, she is much better now. But then she needed me. Junaid is starting his career. He has lived his life without me. And now, perhaps he is taking the last big step in his life, towards his career. If I am not with him at this time, then what’s the point? Azad is 9 years now. In another 3 years, he will be a teenager. His childhood won’t come back.”

Ira is Aamir's daughter from his first marriage to Reena Dutta, with whom he also has a son, Junaid. The couple divorced in 2002. Ira made her directorial debut in 2019 with the play Euripides' Medea, starring Hazel Keech. Aamir also has a son, Azad Rao Khan, with his second wife, Kiran Rao, from whom he announced their separation in July.

Diljit Dosanjh takes jab at Telangana Govt over censorship during Hyderabad concert: “When artists come to India from other countries…”

Punjabi music sensation Diljit Dosanjh addressed the controversy surrounding the Telangana government’s ban on some of his songs during his electrifying Hyderabad concert on Saturday night. Despite the restrictions, the singer entertained a packed stadium, taking a humorous yet pointed approach to the censorship.

Telangana Govt’s Ban on Diljit’s Songs The Telangana government had earlier issued an order prohibiting Diljit from performing songs referencing alcohol, drugs, and violence during his Hyderabad concert. While performing, Diljit subtly criticized the decision without naming anyone directly.

“When artists come to India from other countries, they are allowed to do whatever they like, sing whatever they want, koi tension nahin… But when an artist from your own country is singing, people have so many problems,” he remarked. Diljit Dosanjh's reply to Telengana government who asked him to censor lyrics related to violence or alcohol. byu/sheilakijawani_gone inBollyBlindsNGossip

"Some People Can't Digest My Success" Diljit further commented on the challenges he faces as a homegrown artist. “Some people cannot digest the fact that such big shows are happening, that tickets are getting sold out in 2 minutes,” he said. “Bro, I've been working for many, many years now. I have not become famous in a day.” A Creative Response to Censorship The censorship did not dampen Diljit’s spirit. Instead, he adapted by altering certain lyrics in his songs that referenced alcohol or violence, much to the delight of his fans. This creative workaround showcased his ability to entertain despite the restrictions. Diljit on Black Marketing of Tickets During the concert, Diljit also spoke about the global issue of ticket black marketing. “Government ispe kaam kar rahi hai,” he said, acknowledging the steps being taken to address the problem while highlighting its prevalence worldwide. Dil-luminati Tour in Full Swing Diljit’s Hyderabad concert was part of his ongoing Dil-luminati Tour, which kicked off in Delhi on October 26. The singer is set to perform in cities like Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Kolkata, and Mumbai before concluding the tour in Guwahati on December 29.
