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 Atlee’s action thriller movie ‘Jawan’ starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. The film’s story ostensibly revolves around a wronged man, a soldier who makes it his mission to exact revenge from those responsible for his situation. The movie also features Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone, and Nayanthara in important roles.
On the second spot of the IMDb list is Lokesh Kanagraj’s action thriller movie ‘Leo’ starring Vijay and Trisha in the lead roles.
And the third most anticipated Indian title on the IMDb list is the Prabhas starrer action thriller movie ‘Salaar’ by the man behind the immensely successful ‘K.G.F’ film series – Prashanth Neel. The movie’s plot ostensibly revolves around a gang leader who locks horns with other dangerous gangs in order to fulfill his dying friend’s last wish.
Besides big-ticket theatrical releases, two Indian OTT titles have also made it to the IMDb most anticipated list. The first one is Neeraj Pandey’s thriller web series ‘The Freelancer’ which is about a daredevil rescue mission to get back a young girl from war-torn Syria. And the second one is the revenge centric crime drama movie ‘Haddi’ starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the titular role of a transgender.
However, the name of Hansal Mehta’s eagerly anticipated financial thriller series ‘Scam 2003’ is surprisingly absent from IMDb’s top ten list this time.
