The first half of 2022 saw some big titles hitting the box-office and getting the audiences back to theatres. Some movies gained big while few struggled as it’s the content that matters and not the stars anymore. The same formula applies to web series as well.
IMDb, the popular and authoritative source for information on movies, TV shows, and celebrities, unveiled the most popular Indian films and web series of the year (so far) from 1st January 2022 to 5th July 2022. It includes movies released theatrically or digitally and web series rated 7 or higher on IMDb. These titles generated the most IMDb page views in India within a four-week post-release window, based on IMDbPro data.
