Renowned filmmaker Sanjay Gupta often shares his thoughts on trends in Bollywood and new OTT releases via his X account. Recently, he expressed his disappointment with the quality of new shows on OTT platforms, stating that many have fallen short of his expectations.
In a recent post on X, Sanjay Gupta stated, “It’s simply FRUSTRATING how poor the new content on OTT platforms has been. While some exceptions like TASK are commendable, the majority, including MONSTER: THE ED GEIN STORY, are terribly disappointing. Some new Indian shows are HORRENDOUS. Thank God for YouTube!”
Among the few shows that impressed him, Sanjay highlighted “Task,” available on JioHotstar. The series features a Philadelphia FBI agent (played by Mark Ruffalo) tackling intense family dynamics while leading a task force. It has garnered outstanding reviews and consists of seven episodes.
Sanjay has previously praised “Task” on Twitter, calling it “Dark, atmospheric, moody… TASK on HBO is superb. Such consistency of great quality from them.”
On the other hand, he found “Monster: The Ed Gein Story,” released on Netflix, falling short of expectations. This series dramatizes the life of one of America’s infamous serial killers and is the latest installment following similar chronicles of Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez Brothers.
Known for directing notable films such as Aatish, Kaante, Kaabil, and Shootout at Lokhandwala, Sanjay has previously praised various new talents in his tweets, including Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s “Saiyaara.”
