The next few months are a veritable treat for film buffs in India. After a long long time, film lovers will be spoilt for choice as a huge number of ‘big’ films will make their way to theatre screens in India. The films encompass a whole gamut of genres, from action thrillers to family dramas to an intriguing biopic of an enigmatic personality, to a teeny bopper delight.
So, how does one guage which are the most anticipated movies in India in the next few months, both from Hollywood and Indian cinema? With so many high profile films readying for release, how do we know which upcoming release has the most buzz and hype among viewers?
Enter, events and movies ticketing and aggregating portal BookMyShow. The portal is the best indicator to measure the anticipation factor of a movie. BookMyShow is quite a revelation when it comes to understanding which films have the most buzz among film-goers.
BookMyShow displays the number of ‘Interests’ each film has garnered on the platform. Audiences show their preferences for upcoming films by clicking the “interested” button for a film on the upcoming films section in BookMyShow. The most popular films generate the most ‘Interests’. Since all of this happens in real time, it helps us understand which are the most buzzing movies coming up in Indian theatres.
And guess what? The data for the next few months throws a massive surprise! Coz no Indian film has managed to snare the top spot of upcoming releases with the most buzz. Instead, a much-talked-about Hollywood release has grabbed the peak position, and that too by a HUGE margin!
Not just that, 3 out of the Top 6 buzziest movies releasing soon are Hollywood biggies. It says a lot about the quality of films being churned out in India. Even a film such as Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, with big stars Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, is nowhere close to the Hollywood biggies. And Shah Rukh Khan’s buzzy Jawan is not even in the top 3! This, despite the hype created by its first teaser, released just yesterday.
Without further ado, check out the Top 6 Most-Awaited Films in India for the next 3 months, as per BookMyShow –
