Newcomers Ahan Pandey and Anita Padda starrer “Sayara” has topped IMDb’s list as the most popular Indian film of 2025, while Aryan Khan’s directorial debut web series “The Bads of Bollywood” has topped the web series rankings, the platform announced on Wednesday.
Which are the top 10 films
IMDb said in a statement that the rankings are based on page views from IMDb’s more than 250 million monthly global visitors, reflecting audience interest and engagement around the world. The film ‘Sayara’ produced by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri tops the list of IMDB’s top 10 most popular Indian films of 2025. The film has become a topic of discussion across the world for its emotional story and chartbuster music. Yash Raj Films CEO Akshay Vidhani said the recognition is a “very proud moment”.
The list includes animated blockbuster “Mahavatar Narasimha” at second place, Vicky Kaushal’s “Chhaava” at third, Rishabh Shetty’s “Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1” at fourth and Rajinikanth’s “Coolie” at fifth. This list includes five Hindi films, two Tamil films and one film each from Kannada and Malayalam cinema. At the sixth position was Tamil coming-of-age comedy “Dragon”, followed by Aamir Khan’s “Sitare Zameen Par” and Shahid Kapoor’s “Deva” at the seventh and eighth positions. Ajay Devgan’s “Raid 2” and Malayalam film “Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra” completed the list. “Mahavatar Narasimha” is also the first animated film to make it to IMDb’s year-end Indian rankings.
“The Bads of Bollywood” became the topper in the series
The first web series “The Bads of Bollywood” made under the direction of Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shahrukh Khan, topped the ranking of web series. Aryan said, “Seeing the show at No. 1 feels exactly what we wanted – changing the atmosphere and being in the headlines. The memes, the fan edits, the debates, the passion – that’s what makes a show a part of the culture.” He further said that this response vindicates his philosophy of telling stories “without any pretense, without pretense”.
These are the top 10 best series
Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane’s “Black Warrant” and Sudeep Sharma’s “Paatal Lok” season 2 stood at the second and third positions, while fan favorite “Panchayat” season 4 stood at the fourth position.
