The evolution of cinema is nothing short of spectacular, and 2024 just proved it. From grand period dramas to futuristic sci-fi sagas, the year had audiences hooked like never before. IMDb has finally spilled the beans on the most popular Indian web series and movies of the year and the lists are as juicy as a blockbuster gossip column.
IMDb REVEALS the most popular indian web series and movies of 2024
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi Rules the Web Game
When it comes to worthy web series, Netflix took the crown with its opulent period drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Directed by the maestro Sanjay Leela Bhansali, this show didn’t just make waves – it created a tsunami! Following close were the hilarious legal dramedy Maamla Legal Hai at No. 6 and the ever-entertaining The Great Indian Kapil Show rounding out the top 10.
Prime Video wasn’t far behind, though, flexing its muscle with fan-favorites like Mirzapur, the heartwarming Panchayat, and Citadel: Honey Bunny. Adding spice to the list were Gyaarah Gyaarah, Taaza Khabar 2, Murder in Mahim, and Shekhar Home. Talk about a streaming buffet!
Prabhas Dominates the Big Screen with Kalki 2898 AD
On the cinematic front, sci-fi met superstardom as Kalki 2898 AD, led by Prabhas, soared to the top spot. Deepika Padukone owned the year like a true queen, with Fighter, Kalki 2898 AD, and Singham Again all claiming spots in IMDb Top 10.
Other chartbusters included Stree 2 (because who doesn’t love some horror-comedy?), Maharaja, and the dark and twisted Shaitaan. For those with a taste for international recognition, Laapataa Ladies snagged the 10th spot and doubled up as India’s official entry for the 97th Academy Awards’ International Feature Film category. The cherry on top? Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Manjummel Boys, and the action-packed Kill kept the adrenaline junkies satisfied.
What Makes 2024’s Lineup So Special?
Whether it’s the intricate storytelling of Heeramandi or the mind-bending visuals of Kalki 2898 AD, the content game in Indian cinema and streaming has gone from good to phenomenal. These projects didn’t just entertain; they set benchmarks for what’s to come.
2024 gave us a little bit of everything and a whole lot of amazing. IMDb’s list just confirms what we already knew: this year was pure fire for entertainment.
