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.
