Amar Kaushik’s Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has emerged as the most-searched Indian movie on Google in 2024. The sequel to the hit horror-comedy Stree not only impressed at the box office but also resonated with audiences online, maintaining a dominant presence in search trends.
Coming in second was Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, which featured a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. The futuristic tale garnered massive attention for its ambitious scale and ensemble performances.
Other Movies That Made the Cut
The list also featured a mix of regional and Bollywood hits that captivated Indian audiences in 2024. Malayalam blockbuster Manjummel Boys, Kiran Rao’s social comedy Laapataa Ladies, and Netflix’s Maharaja were notable mentions.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s sleeper hit 12th Fail, a poignant tale of perseverance, further underscored the audience’s appetite for diverse storytelling. Meanwhile, Prabhas’ Salaar and Vijay’s The Greatest of All Time secured spots, as did the Telugu superhero flick Hanu-Man. Completing the top 10 was the Malayalam dramedy Aavesham, led by Fahadh Faasil.
Heeramandi Leads Most-Searched Series in India
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar was the most-searched series in India in 2024. With its stellar ensemble cast—featuring Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, and others—the Netflix show captured the imagination of viewers nationwide.
Prime Video’s Mirzapur secured second place, reflecting its enduring popularity, while the American post-apocalyptic series The Last of Us ranked third, highlighting the growing influence of international content.
Netflix’s limited series 3 Body Problem, along with South Korean dramas Queen of Tears and Marry My Husband, also struck a chord with Indian audiences, illustrating the rising appeal of global narratives.
Indian Celebrities Shine Globally
In the global category of most-searched actors, Indian stars Hina Khan, Nimrat Kaur, and Telugu actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan made waves.
Hina Khan became a symbol of resilience and hope after sharing her battle with breast cancer on social media. Her candid posts, including a heartfelt video of her cutting her hair during chemotherapy, deeply resonated with fans and earned her widespread admiration.
Pawan Kalyan, known for his dual identity as an actor and politician, gained significant attention, further elevating his profile among Indian and global audiences. Meanwhile, Nimrat Kaur found herself in the spotlight amidst rumors surrounding Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s alleged divorce, though these speculations remained unconfirmed.
TV and Web Series Hold Ground
In addition to high-profile films, TV and web series maintained a stronghold in 2024. TVF productions such as Kota Factory and Panchayat continued to dominate viewership, while reality TV sensations Bigg Boss 17 and Bigg Boss 18 proved their enduring appeal.
From blockbuster films like Stree 2 and Kalki 2898 AD to globally resonant series like Heeramandi and The Last of Us, 2024 highlighted India’s evolving entertainment preferences.
