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 are concerned, the most anticipated title is ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ – the official Indian adaptation of Robert Zemeckis’ Oscar Award-winning movie ‘Forrest Gump’ and features Aamir Khan in the titular role. Directed by Advait Chandan and written by Atul Kulkarni, the film also features Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya, Manav Vij, and Mona Singh in pivotal roles.
The second buzziest title as of now is Aanand L. Rai’s family drama film ‘Raksha Bandhan’ starring Akshay Kumar.
And the third most anticipated Indian title is Ayan Mukerji’s dream project ‘Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva’ which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Alia Bhatt. The film’s plot follows the protagonist named Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor) who is blessed with incredible superpowers related to fire.
Besides, the only Indian OTT title that could make it to IMDb’s most anticipated Indian titles list is Netflix’s upcoming dark comedy film ‘Darlings’.
