- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The film Gandhari, starring Taapsee Pannu, will stream on Netflix starting September 3. The movie follows a mother's search for her abducted daughter in another city, exploring themes of revenge and redemption. During the trailer launch on Tuesday, Pannu noted that budgets for female centric films are often very low, which necessitates a strong story and emotional core where action serves as a byproduct. Producer Kanika Dhillon emphasized that female led action films should prioritize story and emotion over a simple mission. The production has faced accusations of plagiarism from writer Kalyan Bandi, who claims the film is similar to a story he registered in 2019. Ruchikaa Kapoor, Director of Netflix Original Films, denied these claims and stated that the pitch in question is very different from the film.
