Netflix’s latest miniseries, Adolescence, has captivated audiences with its gripping storytelling and unique cinematography. Among its admirers is Bollywood star Alia Bhatt, who recently took to Instagram to shower praises on the show, calling it “truly perfection.”
Sharing the series’ poster on her Instagram stories, Alia wrote:
“From the writing to the staging to the EXCEPTIONAL cinematography—I wonder what it felt like after an hour of calling action to finally calling cut… how did the entire cast and crew feel?”
She went on to applaud the performances, describing them as “alive, raw, and so hot in the moment that the energy is very, very palpable and moving.”
A Cinematic Triumph Praised by Stars
Directed by Philip Barantini, Adolescence follows the Miller family, whose world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie is accused of murder. The series explores themes of family, truth, and justice, with each episode shot in one continuous take—a rare and technically demanding feat in filmmaking.
Alia Bhatt wasn’t the only one left in awe. Her Jigra co-star Vedang Raina also praised the series, writing:
“The most brilliantly acted and moving pieces of film/television I have ever seen. This is why I love cinema. I’ve never wanted to be better at what I do more than after watching this. So, so, so inspiring.”
A Stellar Cast and Production Team
Adolescence boasts a powerhouse cast, including Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, Owen Cooper, Faye Marsay, Christine Tremarco, Mark Stanley, Jo Hartley, and Amélie Pease.
The series is penned by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham and jointly produced by Warp Films, It’s All Made Up Productions, Matriarch Productions, Plan B Entertainment, and One Shoe Films.
What’s Next for Alia Bhatt?
While expressing her admiration for Adolescence, Alia is currently occupied with the filming of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming epic Love & War, where she stars alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
With Adolescence receiving high praise from both critics and Bollywood’s biggest names, it’s clear that the series is set to leave a lasting impact on the world of television storytelling.
