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 the Gadar sequel titled ‘Gadar 2’. Set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, the film’s plot follows the journey of Tara Singh (Sunny Deol), who returns to the neighbouring country in order to get his son back.
On the second spot of the IMDb list is Hansal Mehta’s SonyLIV crime drama series ‘Scam 2003: The Telgi Story’, which has risen from last week’s tenth spot on the IMDb top ten list. The show focuses on the much-publicized multi-state 2003 stamp paper scam which was masterminded by Abdul Kareem Telgi. From the show’s current buzz, it looks like SonyLIV is all set to replicate the massive streaming success of its cult show ‘Scam 1992’.
And the third most anticipated Indian title on the IMDb list is 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.
Besides mainly theatrical releases, another Indian OTT title has made it to the IMDb most anticipated list. We are talking about Raj & DK’s comedy crime series ‘Guns & Gulaabs’ which features Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav, and Gulshan Devaiah in the lead roles.
