Stars: Abhay Deol, Rajshri Deshpande, Punit Tiwari
Netflix added nearly 2.4 million global subscribers in the September quarter, well above its estimates of 1 million. However, it pales in comparison to the 4.4 million it had added in the prior-year quarter. In the Asia-Pacific region alone, Netflix added 1.43 million new paying users.
Apart from Abhay Deol, the series also stars Rajshri Deshpande, Rajesh Tailang, Ashish Vidyarthi, Anupam Kher, Ratna Pathak, Shilpa Shukla and Shardul Bharadwaj. Everything is set to premiere on January 13 on Netflix.
The limited series starring Abhay Deol follows the unfortunate incident that took place in June 1997 which resulted in the loss of 59 victims and 100 injured spectators when a fire broke out at Uphaar Cinema in South Delhi.
It is inspired by the best selling book, "Trial by Fire: The Tragic Tale of the Uphaar Fire Tragedy" by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy. The series is produced by Endemol Shine India and House of Talkies.
Prashant Nair beautifully captured the harrowing yet resilient journey of parents – Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost their two sons in the fire. Abhay Deol's limited series will depict the endless trials and tribulations of his 24-year search for justice, while also looking at the other lives touched and destroyed by fire.
Revenue from him grew 19% in the quarter, excluding foreign exchange, with average paid membership increasing 23% (from $30.05 million to $36.23 million) year-over-year. However, average revenue per member declined 3%, partially driven by lower ARM in India, he said in a letter to shareholders. He posted a higher ARM in Australia and Korea.
“We are done with the shrinking quarters… we are back to positivity. Everything that the company is focusing on, whether it's content, marketing, lower prices for the ad-supported model, shared pay… aligns us for a good year ahead,” said Reed Hastings, co-CEO of Netflix during the earnings presentation. he call.
A strong dollar is a significant headwind, and the company expects revenue of $7.8 billion in the next quarter compared to $7.9 billion in July-September. The sequential decline was entirely due to the continued strengthening of the US dollar against other currencies, Hastings said. “That is not going to go away. But other than that, all the stars are aligning very well for us."
