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 Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari’s Amazon Prime Video movie ‘Bawaal’. The film is being touted as a timeless love story which apparently revolves around a small-town man (Varun Dhawan), who falls for a beautiful woman (Janhvi Kapoor) and badly wants to marry her and prove his standing in society. After a long time, a direct-to-OTT movie has topped IMDb’s most anticipated Indian titles list because usually, theatrical releases bag the No.1 spot. So, it’s a rare record of sorts.
On the second spot of the IMDb list is the Telugu romantic drama movie ‘Baby’ starring Anand Deverakonda, Viraj Ashwin and Vaishnavi Chaitanya in the lead roles.
And the third most anticipated Indian title on the IMDb list is the Tamil language action-drama movie ‘Maaveeran’. Directed by Madonne Ashwin, the film features Sivakarthikeyan in the role of a reluctant hero, who decides to take on an influential politician after he begins to hear a voice.
Besides ‘Bawaal’, as far as other Indian OTT titles are concerned, the Netflix show ‘Kohrra’ and Kajol’s legal drama series ‘The Trial’ have also made it to the IMDb list.
