Creativity has been taken to court and though the matter is sub-judice and extremely subjective, India’s premier streaming network, Amazon Prime Video has released a heartfelt statement apologising to its users and citizens of the country over some allegedly objectionable scenes in the recently launched much-loved critically acclaimed fictional series Tandav.
This is what they have to say:
“Amazon Prime Video again deeply regrets that viewers considered certain scenes to be objectionable in the recently launched fictional series Tandav. This was never our intention, and the scenes that were objected to were removed or edited when they were brought to our attention. We respect our viewers’ diverse beliefs and apologize unconditionally to anyone who felt hurt by these scenes. Our teams follow company content evaluation processes, which we acknowledge need to be constantly updated to better serve our audiences. We will continue to develop entertaining content with partners, while complying with the laws of India and respecting the diversity of culture and beliefs of our audiences.”
So will the act of apology settle the dust and lead to a possible rapprochement between irked parties?
Only time will tell.
