The producers of the Pakistani film Zinda Bhaag should be happy about this. It doesn’t matter if their Oscar aspirations have gone kaput. The fact that their film is soon going to be seen on Netflix, an internet movie streaming medium, is no less an achievement. The reason for this is that the internet has a much wider audience, especially for a film that has had its theatrical release a year or two ago, and doesn’t want to be forgotten. So kudos!
