India's Brahman Naman to Premiere Exclusively, Globally On Netflix

The hilarious coming-of-age comedy Brahman Naman, from leading Indian indie director Q, will be available exclusively for Netflix members around the world later this year.  Set in Bangalore in the 1980s, Brahman Naman follows the exploits of Naman, a quick witted, high school quiz champ who leads his hopelessly nerdy friends on a trip to Calcutta to win a major college prize. Young, smart and full of heart, the trio are determined to win the quiz - and to lose their virginity along the way. Revered internationally as one of India's most vital and provocative indie filmmakers, Q's latest cinematic cocktail takes the classic American teen comedy, sharpens it with bawdy British word play, and hurls it in the face of the establishment with a fresh Indian cast. The film premiered last week at the prestigious World Drama Competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. "Brahman Naman is Indian cinema at its boldest; fast, furious and raucously funny," said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix. "It's a movie that will delight adolescents of all ages, and we're excited to bring this hilarious tale to our members around the world." Written by Naman
