Gopi Puthran grateful for the resounding success of 'Mandala Murders'

Mumbai, Aug 2 (UNI) Director and screenwriter Gopi Puthran is revelling in the acclaim that has followed the release of the 'Mandala Murders', a psychological thriller that has catapulted to the top of streaming charts and stirred critical conversations across the industry.
Produced under the banner YRF (Yah Raj Films) Entertainment, the gripping crime-thriller has not only claimed the #1 spot on Netflix India's trending list, but also secured a place on the Global Top 10 Non-English TV Shows chart, marking an impressive feat for an Indian series with deep cultural resonance.
Gopi Puthran said, “Originality of imagination has been the cornerstone for content that breaks out, if you look at 'Mardaani' to 'Mandala Murders'. I have tried to do something new and I have been empowered to push the envelope with every single project at YRF. I’m delighted with the response that 'Mandala Murders' is getting from the audience.”
He continued, “From being the No 1 trending show on Netflix India, to our hitting the global charts on the platform, 'Mandala Murders' is off to a great start and it makes all of us very, very happy. I wanted to create a binge-able, mind-bending, genre-defying series with 'Mandala Murders'. It was risky and very ambitious and I’m very happy to see the initial response to the series.”
Gopi further added, “I’m a big fan of dark, moody, crime dramas that leave you on the edge of what is real, what is imagination and what is occult if it exists in today’s world.”
He concluded with pride, “'True Detective', 'The Sinners', 'Twin Peaks', 'Sharp Objects', are an exploration of how the mind can push people to the edge of belief and disbelief and if 'Mandala Murders' is doing that to audiences in India with a story and a concept that’s rooted in India and our culture, it is truly delightful.”
