Netflix India's top 10 most-watched films is a mix of blockbusters and underdogs, a non-star film ranks at no. 4
Any guesses, who is at the top? No surprise here, it's SS Rajamouli's RRR is sitting right at the top. The mega-hit, which stormed the box office, has also shattered records on OTT with 43.65 million views so far. Even after three years (1095 days) on the platform, it's still unstoppable.
The film stars Jr. NTR, who is also known as Tarak, Ram Charan in the lead roles, while Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn are also in the film, marking their south debut.
'I'm glad both Tarak and Charan agreed to be part of this project. Even if one of them said no, I wouldn't have taken up this subject. Charan will play young Alluri Seetharama Raju and Tarak as young Komaram Bheem,' Rajamouli said. Who's next in line after RRR?
It's Jawan, of course. Shah Rukh Khan's massive hit, directed by Atlee, raked in Rs 640 crore at the box office—and is now pulling huge crowds on Netflix too. With 31.90 million views, Jawan is currently the most-watched Bollywood film on Netflix. Complete list
The list has a healthy mix of commercial entertainers and critically acclaimed films. Check out the top 10: RRR (Hindi) – 43.65 million views Jawan – 31.90 million Gangubai Kathiawadi – 29.64 million Laapataa Ladies – 29.50 million Animal – 29.20 million Crew – 27.20 million Maharaja – 27.10 million Fighter – 26.30 million Lucky Bhaskar – 26.30 million Shaitaan – 24 million
OTT audiences are loving a mix of massy blockbusters (RRR, Jawan, Animal) and fresh, rooted stories (Laapataa Ladies, Maharaja). It also signals a shift—it's no longer just about theatrical success, but how long a story can live online.

'Top Boy' actor Micheal Ward has been officially charged with two counts of rape and other serious offences by London's Metropolitan Police 'Top Boy' actor Micheal Ward has been officially charged with two counts of rape and other serious offences by London's Metropolitan Police, reported The Hollywood Reporter. According to the publication, the 27-year-old actor, known for his role as Jamie in the Netflix series 'Top Boy' and most recently seen in Ari Aster 's Cannes film 'Eddington,' was charged with "two counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault." The charges are in connection with a single woman and are alleged to have taken place in January 2023. Police confirmed that the woman is being supported by specialist officers. Detective Superintendent Scott Ware, whose team is leading the investigation, said, "We know investigations of this nature can have a significant impact on those who make reports." Catherine Baccas, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London South, said, "Having carefully reviewed a file of evidence, the Crown Prosecution Service has authorized the Metropolitan Police to charge Micheal Ward, 27, with two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration, and one count of sexual assault against a woman in January 2023." "We remind all concerned that proceedings against the suspect are active and he has a right to a fair trial. It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary, or sharing of information online that could in any way prejudice these proceedings," she added, according to Hollywood Reporter. Ward, who was born in Jamaica and raised in the UK, won the BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2020. He also received a BAFTA nomination for his role in Empire of Light and was recently seen on the Cannes red carpet alongside Joaquin Phoenix , Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone for Eddington. Ward is scheduled to appear in court at Thames Magistrates' Court in London on Thursday, August 28.

Rishabh Pant Cracks 'Engagement' Joke With Yuzvendra Chahal Amid RJ Mahvash Dating Rumours
Ignored Indian cricket team spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was the subject of a hilarious 'engagement' joke from Rishabh Pant amid dating rumours involving RJ Mahvash. Chahal got divorced from Dhanashree Verma earlier this year and there have been a lot of chatter around his rumoured relationship with RJ Mahvesh after both of them were spotted together on several occasions. Archana Puran Singh recently dropped a Behind The Scenes (BTS) vlog from the shoot of Kapil Sharma's show where Pant was seen having fun with Chahal. Pant jokingly put a ring on Chahal's finger while Archana commented, 'Are you now engaged to him?' Rishabh was quick to reply 'Iski toh ho chuki hai pehle (He is already engaged)'. Yuzi clarified and joked "Jaa bhi chuki hai (It is over as well)". It was a reference to his divorce with Dhanashree that was finalised this year. The conversation did not end there as Archana invited Chahal to visit her home in Mumbai but added that he must be too busy to make the journey. However, Pant said - 'He is here all the time!" Chahal was amused with the exchange as he replied - 'Sabko bata de tu (Why don't you just announce it to everyone?)" Rishabh left everyone in splits as he started shouting on the set. Meanwhile, amid the India vs England Test series, a video clip from a Netflix broadcast of a 'Kapil Sharma Show' episode involving Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal and Gautam Gambhir is going viral. "In most families there is a jethani who's calling the shots. Who is such a player? Someone who orders everyone, even if they're just taking advantage of their seniority," Kapil Sharma can be seen asking. "Rohit bhai is like that," Rishabh Pant said. "Maine kaha, Rohit ka naam lele, abb toh retire ho gaya (Take Rohit's name, he's retired now)," Gambhir said with a smile on his face.
