Netflix’s Diwali release Greater Kalesh is topping the Top 10 charts and attracting wide attention from viewers. The 52-minute film explores family dynamics and festive traditions while blending emotional and cultural themes.
While many viewers found it a decent Diwali watch, others criticised it for including an LGBTQ+ subplot. Several users on social media said Netflix was once again promoting what they called a “woke agenda” through its content.
The film revolves around family conflicts and hidden secrets, with the queer storyline emerging as a key twist. Some viewers felt this angle disrupted the festive mood and turned a light-hearted story into a social statement.
Despite the criticism, Greater Kalesh remains one of the most-watched titles on Netflix this week. The discussion around its themes mirrors a growing debate about representation in streaming content.
