NDTV
"Annapoorani - The Goddess of Food", which was released in theatres in December and aired on Netflix later the same month, faced backlash for depicting the daughter of a Hindu temple priest eating meat.
Netflix has removed an Indian language film from its platform after the movie faced a backlash on social media for depicting the daughter of a Hindu priest eating meat. Hindus are India's largest religious grouping and Hindu priests, as well as their families, are typically vegetarian.
"Annapoorani - The Goddess of Food", a Tamil-language film that was released in theatres in December and aired on Netflix later the same month, was no longer available on the international streaming platform as of Thursday.
Netflix representatives in India did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
