2012 saw the release of the first installment of “Snow White” amid a flurry of modernized fairy tale adaptations, with “Red Riding Hood,” led by Amanda Seyfried, having debuted in 2011 and “Snow White and the Huntsman,” starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth, following two months later. Director Singh recalls feeling the need to release his film before Universal’s, due to their larger budget and resources. “We don’t have anything close to their resources, so we needed to come out first,” Singh explained to THR.

This series, directed by women, revolutionizes the crime thriller genre by shedding light on societal issues faced by impoverished communities through an empathetic perspective. Unlike many other films and shows, it doesn’t glamorize these challenges but instead invites viewers to contemplate the real-life struggles affecting individuals and society, much like Moore did in her novel.
