Gajab Raat Leads the Pack
Manoj Bajpayee’s Gajab Raat is the top Indian film on the list at No.3. The Neeraj Pandey crime thriller, which co-stars Nushrratt Bharuccha, actually grew in its second week, going from 4.2 million to 5 million views.
The film was earlier titled Ghooskhor Pandat and was renamed Gajab Raat after a controversy.
Baththa’s Big Debut
Vijay Sethupathi’s Baththa made a strong entry, debuting at No.4 with 2.5 million views in its first week on Netflix.
The Paradise Holds Strong
Nani’s The Paradise held on at No.5 in its second week. The Telugu film has now clocked 5.3 million views in two weeks.
Keerthy Suresh’s Dorothy
Karthik Subbaraj’s Dorothy, starring Keerthy Suresh, stayed in the Top 10 for a second week at No.7, with 1.6 million views. Its two-week total stands at 3.3 million views.
Dhoomakethu Joins the List
Malayalam film Dhoomakethu, starring Sajin Gopu and Nikhila Vimal, entered the list at No.9 with 1.1 million views.
Four Languages, One Chart
The list covers four Indian languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. That shows how Indian films from different industries are finding global audiences on Netflix.
Only Mexico’s Surviving Hurricane Otis and Collision Course ranked above Gajab Raat this week.
