Is director Amit Masurkar’s Sherni—starring Vidya Balan as a forest officer—a worthy follow-up to Newton?
We discuss the film’s ambitious ideas, Masurkar’s commentary on India under the Modi regime, and the film’s many passions, including environmental conservation, gender equality, and native representation.
Later, we talk about the behind-the-scenes reshuffle at Netflix India, and what that could mean for the streamer going forward.
