Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra Praises ‘Adolescence’ Series, Critiques Modern Scriptwriting

Popular Bollywood filmmaker Sudhir Mishra credits ‘Adolescence’ for its quality against his views on current scripting standards. Through Twitter the Khoya Khoya Chand director wondered why Netflix India rated a slow-burning drama as the most popular show.
Sudhir Mishra celebrated top-quality storytelling as the best news in several years after following screen recommendations from directors Hansal Mehta and Shekhar Kapur.
Philip Barentini led the four-episode show ‘Adolescence’ while Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham served as its producer. The drama shows Jamie Miller’s arrest for murdering his classmate when he reaches 13 years old.
The director uses his public statements to indicate how people argue about excellent entertainment content versus viewer demands in Indian media. His compliment for this unusual miniseries points toward a trend among Indian viewers who now favor complex storytelling as seen on screen.
