Fans of superstar actors such as Thala Ajith, Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, Allu Arjun, Prabhas, Mohanlal and Yash, among others, have found a new way of gauging the popularity of their icons and their buzzy upcoming films — by the number of “interests” generated by a movie on Book My Show (BMS). For those who don’t know, Book My Show is a ticketing website that is also a fast-growing paid video on demand Indian OTT platform.
Audiences show their preferences for upcoming films by clicking the “like/interested” button for a film on the upcoming films section in Book My Show. Fan clubs of actors have begun the trend of sharing the “Interests” numbers for their favourite actors’ films on social media.
Here are the Top Ten upcoming films in India on the basis of BMS “interests”, though the Top 3 are no surprise –
