independent films for global inflight audiences

TURKISH CONTENT
MANISH DUTT
MANAGING DIRECTOR
VISUAL REALITY
INDIA
Say What?
“Turkish content is very popular in India. The family values, family bonding, and brotherhood are quite similar to Indian family values, culture, emotions and ethos.”
Why Turkish Content Does Well
production value & screenplay are very good
good-looking artistes look very Indian
My Classification
Turkish content is considered Middle Eastern and part of the MENA territory.
However, many may not agree and consider it as a standalone.
It is not considered European or Arabic.
