Globally renowned movies database entertainment portal IMDb houses a list/widget of the most anticipated new Indian movies and shows (both theatrical and OTT) that ascertains the real-time popularity of that title. This is determined by the number of pageviews these titles are generating on IMDb. Each title is then ranked by IMDb as per the aggregate number of pageviews.
The topmost spot on the IMDb list has been bagged by ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’. The romantic sci-fi movie features Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s and the premise is based on how a man falls in love with a woman but later comes to learn that she is a humanoid robot.
On the second spot of the IMDb list is Kiran Rao’s ‘Laapataa Ladies’. The rural drama movie tells the story of two brides named Jaya and Phool, who get mistakenly swapped during a train journey. While Jaya enters the joint family of Phool’s husband, Phool finds herself alone in a secluded railway station.
The third place on the IMDb to ten list has been secured by ‘Jhopadpatti’. The Gujarati film is about how a slum-dwelling orphan rises against all odds and becomes an IAS officer.
Other than big-screen releases, just one direct-to-OTT film has found a place on the IMDb list. We’re talking about ‘Bhakshak’ which follows a courageous journalist (played by Bhumi Pednekar), who investigates a sensitive case of assault in a shelter for young girls.
