Prior to filming, American reality vet Eli Holzman's The Intellectual Property Corporation hired Indian line-production outfit Organised Chaos to sift through matrimonial advertisements in newspapers and matchmaking sites to select participants.
"Indian Matchmaking" quickly became a global conversation starter when it began streaming on July 16, going far beyond an Indian audience. Inevitably, criticism followed, with the show being accused of not being inclusive enough, and promoting casteism.
Other commentators praise the show's honesty."I believe that it holds a mirror to the absurdities about us," India filmmaker and novelist Piyush Jha told Variety."In one fell swoop, this show exposes us.
