Mandala Murders Creator Gopi Puthran On Series' Global Success: 'Wanted To Create A Binge-Worthy...'
Curated By : Yatamanyu Narain Last Updated: August 02, 2025, 17:52 IST Director Gopi Puthran opens up about the overwhelming success of Mandala Murders, now the No. 1 Netflix series in India and among the global Top 10 non-English shows. YRF Entertainment's psychological crime drama Mandala Murders is riding high on critical acclaim and audience love. The series has stormed to the top of the Netflix India charts, becoming the No. 1 trending show in the country. Not just that, it has also broken into the global Top 10 in the non-English series category on the platform — a major feat for a homegrown thriller. The man behind this success, director and creator Gopi Puthran, is understandably thrilled. Speaking about the overwhelming response, Puthran shared, 'Originality of imagination has been the cornerstone for content that breaks out. From Mardaani to Mandala Murders, I have tried to do something new, and I've been empowered to push the envelope with every single project at YRF. I'm delighted with the response that Mandala Murders is getting from the audience." Calling the show 'risky" and 'ambitious," Puthran revealed that he set out to build a show that would challenge the viewer's mind and perceptions. 'I wanted to create a binge-able, mind-bending, genre-defying series with Mandala Murders. It was risky and very ambitious, and I'm very happy to see the initial response to the series," he said. A self-confessed fan of psychological thrillers, Gopi says the idea for Mandala Murders came from his love for dark, moody dramas that blur the line between reality and imagination. 'I'm a big fan of crime dramas that leave you on the edge of what is real, what is imagination and what is occult — if it exists in today's world," he explained. He cited shows like True Detective, The Sinner, Twin Peaks, and Sharp Objects as inspirations. 'They explore how the mind can push people to the edge of belief and disbelief. If Mandala Murders is doing that to audiences in India with a story and a concept rooted in our culture, it is truly delightful." With strong performances, a haunting narrative, and visual storytelling that challenges convention, Mandala Murders is quickly cementing itself as a must-watch in India's evolving streaming landscape.
