This year did not belong to the Hindi cinema. Not a lot of good movies were released and all of us were in awe of Malayalam films. But the popularity of Bollywood is still uncontested.
If everything goes well in 2022, then a lot of such films are going to be released that may bring back the glory of Hindi cinema.
Regardless, the top five films that ruled the Netflix charts are below:-
5. Meenakshi Sundareshwar
With 9.13 million hours of views, this film occupied the number 5 position. The only thing that stood out in this excessively boring film is its visuals. It has some extremely beautiful sets and the cinematographer did a wonderful job in capturing them.
If you think you would consider any of the other aspects apart from visuals, this is not a film for you.
4. Dhamaka
Ram Madhvani‘s directorial Dhamaka stands at number 4. With 11.37 million hours, this film made it to the Global top 10 non-English films on Netflix.
This film received positive reviews but it had many plot holes. Although Kartik Aaryan‘s performance was praiseworthy, the screenplay needed immense improvements.
3. Mimi
Even before the release, it was almost certain that this film would gain immense success. Thanks to the intoxicating track Param Sundari by AR Rahman, helped the film to gain a lot of limelight. Kriti Sanon‘s performance was extremely convincing and nobody can ever praise Pankaj Tripathi’s role ever.
The film is an emotional rollercoaster and it made us feel what the director wanted. Hands down to the heart touching concept, this film turns out to be wonderful. This film received 21.81 million hours.
2. Sooryavanshi
Everybody knows the immense success that Suryavanshi received. It earned 180 crores at the box office and still managed to rule Netflix. With 22.34 million hours, it is quite evident that the audience loved this movie.
Akshay Kumar‘s action was decorated by Ranveer Singh‘s comic timing and Ajay’s intensity. This film successfully established the cop universe of Rohit Shetty. This is undoubtedly the most successful Hindi film in 2021.
1. Haseen Dillruba
Hands down to the number 1 Hindi film on Netflix in 2021. This pulp fiction stars Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane in the lead roles. This super spicy and dramatic movie made us witness some immensely powerful performances.
Be it the charm of Taapsee Pannu or the transformation of Vikrant Massey, this film didn’t leave any scope for entertaining us. There were many plot holes but this was pulp fiction and the most important thing that matters in pulp fiction is entertainment. With 24.63 million watch hours, this movie definitely deserved to be at number 1.
