NEW DELHI — Bollywood director and ad maker Ram Madhvani’s internet series “Aarya” has already received plenty of love from viewers, along with widespread critical acclaim in India. On Nov. 22, Madhvani will know whether the first season of the crime thriller wins an International Emmy, the award created to honor excellence in television programming outside the U.S. One of the most popular Indian shows streamed on Disney+ Hotstar, “Aarya” is nominated in the best drama category and is an official remake of the Dutch crime drama “Penoza.” The show is nominated alongside Chile’s “El Presidente,” Israel’s “Tehran” and U.K. show “There She Goes” season 2. Two other Indians -- actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui for his Netflix movie “Serious Men” and Vir Das for his Netflix comedy special “Vir Das: For India” -- have also been nominated for this year’s International Emmys. Netflix show “Delhi Crime,” a fictionalized version of a brutal New Delhi gang rape, won the best drama series last year, signaling the arrival and recognition of Indian internet content on the global scene.
