MUMBAI, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab said on Tuesday it will add new disclaimers to an Indian series about a plane hijack after social media outrage and government anger over what they said was Muslim hijackers being shown as Hindus.
The series, called "IC-814: The Kandahar Hijack," a fictionalised version of the 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines flight 814 from Kathmandu, was released on Netflix last week. It was immediately criticised for what social media users said was a wrong portrayal of the hijackers as Hindus with Hindu names when they were Muslims.
Netflix officials were summoned to India's information and broadcasting ministry on Tuesday, local media reported, and the streaming platform said soon after that it will update the disclaimer. There was no comment from the government.
"For the benefit of audiences unfamiliar with the 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814, the opening disclaimer has been updated to include the real and code names of the hijackers," Monika Shergill, Vice President, Content, at Netflix India, said in a statement.
#BoycottNetflix was trending on X over the weekend, and several users as well as members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticised the series, saying it showed the hijackers in a positive light and misled audiences into thinking they were Hindu.
Amit Malviya, who heads BJP's social media unit, said the series "legitimised the criminal intent" of the hijackers and misled people into thinking that Hindus hijacked the plane.
India blames Pakistan and Pakistan-based militant groups for the December 1999 hijack, which was resolved after New Delhi freed three Islamist militants, including Masood Azhar, the head of one such group.
The series, which comes nearly 25 years after the incident, has actors Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma and Pankaj Kapur, among others, and is based on the book "Flight into Fear", written by the captain of the flight Devi Sharan and journ*list Srinjoy Chowdhury.
Netflix, as well as other streamers such as Amazon's Prime Video, have been at the receiving end of complaints over their content in the past, especially from Hindu groups, who say their content hurts the sentiments of the country's majority religious population.

An oil well explodes and the only way to extinguish the flames is to use dynamite (believe it or not). The only dynamite available in the region is on the far side of a mountain range. It has been improperly stored, causing it to 'sweat', making it highly unstable. Four criminals, living in the remote mountains to hide from the law, are hired to drive the dynamite across unsafe mountain roads to the well in two trucks they have constructed from spare parts themselves. They call these trucks 'Lazaro' and 'Sorceror'.
The film was a remake of a 1950s French movie called The Wages of Fear. William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection) got into arguments and fights with just about everyone making this film. If you don't know about William Friedkin, here's a little introduction:
Anyway, the movie bombed- Friedkin blamed being released in the same year as Star Wars but plenty other movies released in 77 and made bank:
Also, nobody saw the point of remaking The Wages of Fear and critics panned any attempt by Burgers to remake any Frog movie because, clearly, Frog cinema is a carousel of culture and beauty the likes of which no Burger could understand.
Nowadays people think Sorceror's pretty rad, and for good reason.

This movie isn't that bad. It's at least unsettling at times. Like the Babadook, it uses supernatural menace to mirror the struggle of a flawed parent raising a difficult child alone, while both try to cope with the death of the other parent. Both movies also use a series of creepy 2D illustrations (in this case, a set of ironic Burton-esque monster characters the father created years ago) that seem to acquire a life of their own as the protagonist's mental state deteriorates.
I think what makes this movie funny is that it so hyperspecifically mirrors the kind of one sided narrative your bitter 45-year-old drinking buddy tells you about why his marriage fell apart, which you sort of nod along to without fully believing. The fears are real, but they combine one after another into a wild series of alternative explanations for a far more likely story of mutual failure.
As such, while The Babadook is a tale about parental fear, Separation wears parental fear as a flimsy disguise over a core that's really a male victimhood/revenge fantasy.
Let's walk through the movie from the dad's perspective. This is all presented to the viewer as fact.
I'm the fun dad. I built a puppet theater for my daughter, I let her watch R-rated movies, we're always laughing and joking around, we have such a great rapport. My frigid wife barely even SEES her.
Okay, my unsupervised daughter hurt herself playing in the attic. But it was caused by creepy supernatural activity, and anyway why does my wife have to go out and work so much? I can't be watching her all the time.
Okay now she wants to LEAVE me?! Over one little bump when I looked away for FIVE FRICKING MINUTES?
My b-word wife is going for full custody. Full custody!! And she's gonna get it, too! Why do the courts always take the mother's side? Just because I'm an unemployed artist who hasn't had a job in three years...
Right in the middle of my wife's unhinged phone rant about how my daughter is her property, the dumb b-word gets hit by a car. Instant karma! She was talking on the phone in the middle of the street, she wasn't even looking where she was going.
Well at least I get custody now.
My father in law is a mean rich bastard who doesn't understand my struggle, he accused me of having my wife killed (WHAT??) and now HE'S trying to get custody??
My daughter keeps acting weird and doesn't like me as much. It's because her mother's evil ghost is coming into the house and trying to turn her against me.
See, I told you I could get a new job whenever I want. Within a few days of starting, I got promoted to lead artist on a scary new comic series!
My daughter keeps getting into the attic unsupervised and hurting herself, but I always lock the door. It's those stupid ghosts who keep opening it.
I fricked up those comic pages because the spirits put me in a trance, I'll get them in on Monday. Jeez.
My b-word ex's ghost looks like this evil balding clown thing lmao
I WASN'T trying to frick the babysitter. SHE came on to ME, and she kissed me but I instantly pushed her away, and there's nothing between us, okay? She's this psycho b-word who's obsessed with me.
Okay my daughter got hold of some food she is deathly allergic to, but I wasn't careless, it was the EVIL BABYSITTER trying to poison her, I just didn't know it yet.
I didn't put those marks on my daughter, why are the police accusing me of child abuse?? All I did was try to give her the Heimlich Maneuver when I thought she was choking.
So it turns out the evil babysitter actually killed my b-word ex-wife even though this makes zero in-universe logistical sense. She was just obsessed with my peepee and she tried to get rid of my ex and my daughter so we could be together. I've still got it!
So I guess my ex was SORT OF trying to get revenge on the evil babysitter, but instead of warning me about the truth, she just supernaturally tormented ME with a series of dubiously connected spooky happenings involving my old creepy cartoon characters.
ALSO, my b-word ex kept trying to get my daughter to jump to her death out of a high window, which was open because THE FRICKING GHOSTS opened it, okay??
So my daughter actually did fall out the window, but I jumped after her, and because of the power of love we both magically survived. I guess my b-word ex-wife finally decided to stop tormenting us because I FINALLY proved I'm a good father.
No I didn't kill my father in law or the babysitter.
The resolution does involve a mild reconciliation with the mother (despite her supernatural evil), but this only completes the fantasy. And the whole thing seems almost comically washed in grievance. I do think we're meant to perceive the father's flaws, but they never actually hurt anyone. 95% of the bad things that happen in the movie are unambiguously done TO him by an improbable series of unsympathetic buttholes, ghosts, and a third act twist psycho. He's the ultimate victim, but at least you, the viewer at home, understand!
I think this movie would have been a lot better if it at least hinted at unreliable narration. The Babadook uses this very well, but Separation is too insecure for ambiguity. The former is about the fear of being a bad parent. The latter is about the fear of others seeing you as a bad parent.
As you might expect, you can catch this on Tubi, but I just spoiled the whole movie and it really isn't very good. Just watch The Babadook. !kino

If she left them alive she'd draw much less attention. Also even if she didn't want to reproduce with them, they'd still probably help her with important alien shit as long as she strung them along a bit. If she didn't kill them it would also make it much easier for me to jerk off to the movie. What a dumb b-word

The lead character was literally neurodivergent. I've seen people praising her performance but I thought she was terrible lol.
The set up was moderately interesting where you have a serial killer killing entire families without being in the house. But then at the end they explain in an exposition dump that it was literally magic.
Nic Cage was decent but he has a total of like five minutes of screen time.
I will say the cinematography was good. It's a beautifully shot movie and it does a good job of building tension with how they frame scenes.
