Assume that there are two brothers in the West (UK or US) called Peter & Paul Matthews. Peter is a Politician & Paul is a builder. One bright and chirpy Sunday morning in suberbia - Paul shoots Peter dead. In three days time there would be four movies announced

A channel like Hallmark would run a nice linear movie on the lives and times of Peter - shot beautifully with diffusers - until a violent tragedy scars the lives of the entire family. A channel like c4 will probably end up making a film where Paul is the good guy who kills Peter - who is the face of evil. A channel like BBC would make a film where there is a global conspiracy to prevent Peter from becoming the supreme leader - and Paul is a brainwashed tool. And Oliver Stone would make an incomprehensible film based on a convoluted conspiracy theory - where Paul isn’t the kiiller - the second gunman is.

While, in India, producers wring their hands and say - shit if i make this film it will never get released in a theatre
