Google released its much-awaited ‘Year In Search’ this morning. For fans of cinema and entertainment, the most interesting aspect of the annual list is the most searched films and shows this year – both for India and globally.
It is clear from the list of most searched films in India that Bollywood is slowly losing grip on its monopoly of cinema in India. It is proved by fact that the most-searched film in India this year is Suriya‘s much lauded and appreciated Tamil film, ‘Jai Bhim‘. Surprisingly, ‘Udham’, the other highly appreciated film of the year, has failed to find a place on Google’s most searched films of the year.
Globally, ‘Eternals’ has won the coveted title of being the most-searched film of 2021. Netflix‘s breakout blockbuster Korean drama ‘Squid Game‘ is the most searched TV show in the world, testifying to its mass craze in the world. Not just the show, search interest in ‘red light green light’ and ‘honeycomb toffee’ also reached a record high in September worldwide. September was when Squid Game released on Netflix this year.
No Indian film or show made it to the global list of top ten most searched films or shows on Google. Google has still not released a list of most-searched TV shows in 2021 for India.

Interestingly, Aryan Khan has made the list of most-searched actors globally for 2021, courtesy his infamous custody by the NCB. And surprise, Shehnaaz Gill too made it to the list of most-searched actors globally. Sidharth Shukla’s tragic and untimely death, followed by Shehnaaz’s grief and self-imposed isolation has surely contributed to the spike in interest in the petite actress.
