Shillong, Oct 23: Cherrapunji, or Sohra, bursting into joy on Diwali. Then, it rains on the festival parade, but locals, especially children, do not let the shower dampen their Diwali spirit. Lights burn and rangolis spread colours. “Sometimes nature wins, sometimes we do”.
This was the Diwali promotional video of Netflix that has invited rebukes and criticisms on social media.
