I believe this for global audiences and not just Indian audiences overall more and more, especially because of OTT platforms, the mixture and the combination of great storytelling with a sense of realism and moving towards more inspired by true events based on a true story, actually has a lot more gravitas,” Ronnie Screwvala said.CHENNAI: Given the tendency of Indian cinema to go overboard with graphic depictions of violence, Indo-Canadian moviemaker Richie Mehta’s “Delhi Crime” - which premiered at Sundance Festival last January, and will start streaming on Netflix March 22 - is subtle and controlled.
