The Night Manager, the much-acclaimed Indian adaptation of the British series of the same name, fell short in its bid for the prestigious International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series at the 52nd International Emmy Awards held on November 26, 2024. Despite being a strong contender and garnering critical acclaim, the series lost to the French show, “Les Gouttes de Dieu.”
The Night Manager, starring Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sobhita Dhulipala, was India’s official entry in the Best Drama Series category. The show had been praised for its gripping narrative, stellar performances, and stylish direction. It was a significant moment for Indian television, as it marked the first time an Indian series had been nominated in this prestigious category.
However, the French series “Les Gouttes de Dieu” managed to steal the spotlight. This show, based on a popular manga series, revolves around a woman who competes against her late father’s protégé to claim her inheritance, which includes a world-class wine collection. The series has been praised for its unique blend of mystery, drama, and wine culture.
While The Night Manager’s loss might be disappointing for its fans and the Indian entertainment industry, it is important to acknowledge the significant strides Indian television has made in recent years. The Night Manager’s nomination itself is a testament to the growing global recognition of Indian content. The series has already achieved immense popularity in India and has been praised for its high production values, gripping storyline, and stellar performances.
It is also worth noting that the International Emmy Awards is a highly competitive event, with nominees from all over the world. The fact that The Night Manager was able to compete with such strong international contenders is a significant achievement in itself.
