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.
Like last week, the topmost spot on the IMDb list has once again been bagged by the third instalment of YRF’s Tiger film series ‘Tiger 3’ starring Salman Khan as the daredevil spy. It has been directed by the immensely talented filmmaker Maneesh Sharma and also features a cameo by Shah Rukh Khan.
On the second spot of the IMDb list is Sandeep Vanga Reddy’s action thriller movie ‘Animal’. The basic plot revolves around a complicated father-son relationship (played by Anil Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor) and how the son transforms into a violent psychopath.
And the third most anticipated Indian title on the IMDb list is Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘Dunki’ which has been directed by the supremely talented filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. The story of ‘Dunki’ ostensibly revolves around a backdoor immigration route known as Donkey Fight, which is used by some people to settle in some foreign countries.
Besides these big-ticket theatrical releases, two OTT titles have also made it to the IMDb top ten list. The first one is the Disney+ Hotstar thriller movie ‘Apurva’ starring Tara Sutaria in the lead role. And the second OTT title is the highly anticipated Netflix series ‘The Railway Men’, which is set against the backdrop of the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy.
