Hey Bollywood buffs! It’s your favorite snoop, Khabree Kiran, back with some spicy goss on Hindi films and stars. Ready to dive into the drama? Let’s go!

Maharaja Reigns Supreme on IMDb

Arre bhai, 2024 is the year of South Indian films! While Malayalam and Telugu flicks kicked off the year with a bang, Tamil films are now ruling the roost. First, we had the re-release of Ghilli, then came Aranmanai 4, Maharaja, and now Raayan. But guess who’s stealing the spotlight? It’s none other than Vijay Sethupathi with his blockbuster "Maharaja."

Vijay Sethupathi’s action-thriller, helmed by Nithilan Saminathan, is currently sitting pretty at number 22 on IMDb’s top 100 popular films globally. This Kollywood hit, which also features Anurag Kashyap, has grossed 100 crores and counting. And guess what? In India, it’s numero uno, leaving every other Indian film of 2024 biting the dust.

Maharaja Outshines Kalki 2898 AD

Yes, you heard it right! Vijay Sethupathi’s "Maharaja" has overtaken Prabhas’s "Kalki 2898 AD," which is languishing at number 44 globally. Kalki might be at number 3 among Indian films, but Maharaja is the undisputed king.

Only Three Indian Films in the Top 100

While Hollywood biggies like "Deadpool & Wolverine" are ruling the charts at number 1, there are only three Indian films making the global top 100. "Maharaja" is leading the pack, followed by "Kill" starring Lakshya and Raghav Juyal at number 28, and then "Kalki 2898 AD."

The gripping narrative of "Maharaja" has captivated audiences. The official synopsis reads: "A barber seeks vengeance after his home is burglarized, cryptically telling police his ‘lakshmi’ has been taken, leaving them uncertain if it’s a person or object. His quest to recover the elusive ‘lakshmi’ unfolds.” Sounds intriguing, na?

Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood, take note! If you want to rule the roost, it’s high time you upped your game. Audiences are hungry for gripping narratives and stellar performances. South Indian cinema is delivering just that, setting the bar sky-high. So, bas, it’s time to get cracking! 😉
