Annapoorni has been removed from Netflix. This is indeed an unprecedented step as we do not have many examples where a film was downright removed from any platform.
But, it is what it is and the film indeed had some very problematic elements in it.
Regardless, was it a late decision? Maybe yes. Because we checked the views and Annapoorni has already earned a respectable number of views. Yes, if a film like Annapoorni is damaging to society then the damage has already been unleashed.
Have a look at the views of the film.
It was the 4th most watched non-English film on Netflix last week. Also, it was the most-watched Indian film on Netflix last week.
Nayanthara is a huge star and her popularity in the Hindi speaking region shot up instantaneously after Jawan. And let’s not even talk about her popularity in her native Tamil belt. It was kinda inevitable that the movie would do well on Netflix and so it did.
But, it is a Thursday when the film has been removed from Netflix. We will certainly get back to you next Wednesday with data about the views of Annapoorni from the ongoing week.
Also, the film will most likely be back on Netflix after some changes but in a silent manner. No need to worry as team Binged will update you all on the same.
