Tough Competition for 'The Night Manager'
The Night Manager, India’s sole entry at the awards, is an Indian adaptation of the acclaimed British series of the same name. The story revolves around a former Indian Navy Lieutenant who infiltrates an arms dealer's inner circle to dismantle his empire.
The series featured a stellar cast, including Aditya Roy Kapur, Anil Kapoor, and Sobhita Dhulipala, and faced tough competition from shows like Australia’s The Newsreader – Season 2 and Argentina’s Iosi, El Espia Arrepentido – Season 2 (Yosi, the Regretful Spy).

Directed by Sandeep Modi, The Night Manager was released in two parts in 2023, with the first airing in February and the second in June. The show also featured Tillotama Shome, Saswata Chatterjee, and Ravi Behl in prominent roles.
While the Indian adaptation didn’t win, the original British series achieved significant success, winning three Golden Globe Awards in 2017 and two Primetime Emmy Awards in 2016.
