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.
As far as today’s Indian films and series are concerned, the most anticipated title on IMDb is the fourth instalment of the YRF spy universe – ‘Pathaan’. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the action thriller movie features superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role of a daredevil RAW agent and co-stars John Abraham and Deepika Padukone in pivotal roles.
The second buzziest Indian title on IMDb as of now is Aasmaan Bhardwaj’s feature film directorial debut ‘Kuttey’ which features an ensemble cast that includes Naseeruddin Shah, Tabu, Arjun Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Radhika Madan, and Kumud Mishra, etc. The story is about how various people including corrupt cops and drug peddlers plan to rob a van carrying loads of cash.
But the biggest surprise on the latest IMDb’s most anticipated movies list and the third most anticipated title is a relatively smaller film with no big star. We are talking about ‘Lakadbaggha’, which features Anshuman Jha as a vigilante, a highly skilled martial artist, and an animal lover. The film’s plot revolves around how the protagonist discovers an illegal animal trade gang and encounters a striped Hyena.
Besides theatrical releases, two Indian OTT titles have also made it to the IMDb list. These are the Sidharth Malhotra starrer spy thriller Netflix movie ‘Mission Majnu’ and the comedy drama film ‘Chhatriwali’ featuring Rakul Preet Singh in the titular role.
