We love watching lofty structures being pygmied, collapsing and turning to dust. The fall of a larger-than-life character has always filled the average man with a kinky delight. Therefore, it fails to achieve what it pretends to. By doing that, it endorses, defends, and perpetuates the middle-class value system, which is the heartbeat of mass entertainment products globally. It consciously takes a character like Osho, who is globally known as the ‘sex guru’, and then demonises him and celebrates his fall. Having raved enough about Netflix and Wild Wild Country, let’s now get down and do some serious talking.ĭoes the editorial of Wild Wild Country take an audacious perspective on the legacy of the controversial man? No, is my answer. To put it simply in the Bollywood jargon, Wild Wild Country is a smash hit. Hats off to the makers of Wild Wild Country for making their presence felt in such an environment. And this monster called Netflix is growing bigger and bigger, on the hour, by the hour. To stand out in such an atmosphere is not an easy task. The world today has been struck by the tsunami of digital entertainment content.
#GURU OSHO SERIES#
Everybody these days opens his or her conversation by asking, “Did you watch so and so series on Netflix?” My American filmmaker friend says the entertainment consumption has drastically changed in the United States.
#GURU OSHO MOVIE#
Even before the opening credits began to roll, I was certain that the movie had a new perspective on Osho and his fall. Why would a disillusioned sannyasi recommend this series to me? I wondered if he didn’t feel the series has a brave perspective about the man and his tragic fall. Who, apart from being a dear friend, also dared to go along with me to the doors of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh for enlightenment in Koregaon Park, Pune, in the mid-1970s. What prompted me to watch the six-part opera, so lavishly put together at such huge cost, was this: The person who was recommending it was a filmmaker who makes a living in the epicentre of the entertainment world, Hollywood. “Check out Wild Wild Country on Netflix, it is a documentary on a man who dared to play God, Osho,” said a message on WhatApp. Netflix series Wild Wild Country feeds on that star power of his. Rajneesh was a pleasure-peddler, an entertainer par-excellence, and a wordsmith.
