Numerous Indian series, including Call Me Bae, Mirzapur 3, Panchayat, and Citadel Hunny Bunny, have captivated audiences. Nevertheless, none of these series managed to feature in Google Trends' list of the most searched movies and shows globally for 2024. The sole Indian series to achieve this distinction is Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi - The Diamond Bazaar.
Heeramandi ranks as the most searched
Google Trends has revealed the globally most searched movies and shows for 2024. While various international series have claimed top spots, the only Indian series to appear on this global list is Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi. The series has attained the 4th position in the Google Trends ranking for the most searched movies and shows of 2024. Topping the list is Baby Reindeer, followed by Fallout and House of The Dragon, with Shōgun occupying the fifth position.
About Heeramandi
In addition to its accolades, Heeramandi has emerged as the leading title on IMDb's Most Popular Indian Web Series of 2024. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, this series marks his inaugural venture into the OTT space. Set in the context of pre-independence India, it explores the intricate lives of courtesans, presenting a narrative that is both emotionally charged and dramatic. The series features a distinguished ensemble cast, including Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sharmin Segal, Fardeen Khan, and Jayati Bhatia, all of whom deliver powerful performances in significant roles.
Heeramandi received a mixed reception from viewers. Some online commentators have pointed out historical inaccuracies within the period drama, particularly regarding the portrayal of the Lahore locality during the pre-independence era and certain elements that misalign with the historical timeline. Additionally, Sharmin Segal's performance has faced scrutiny.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming projects
On another note, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is preparing to direct a new film titled Love & War, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, and Alia Bhatt. The announcement of this project has generated considerable excitement among audiences eager to witness the collaboration of these three prominent actors for the first time.
