There’s a degree of irony in the fact that Netflix unscripted dating show “Indian Matchmaking,” the most distinctly Indian content to originate from a platform aggressively expand…
Until, of course, “Indian Matchmaking” came along, aimed squarely at India and the Indian diaspora.
Organised Chaos fixer Ricky Saxena contacted some 450 matchmakers over late 2018 and early 2019 to shortlist them for the show, but Taparia remained their first preference because Mundhra was already familiar with her. Throughout this process, the Netflix India office was not involved. “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. “In one fell swoop, this show exposes us. In fact, it is a telling statement about our hypocrisy. OTT shows can’t ‘redefine’ us. Only we can. And this show aptly shows that we haven’t even begun to. We can live in the biggest cities in the world with 21st century trappings, but our minds are still as regressive as those in Victorian times.
