IMDb (www.imdb.com) has announced the 10 Indian movies and 10 series that were most popular with IMDb customers worldwide in 2025. IMDb year-end lists are based on the actual page views of the more than 250 million monthly visitors to IMDb worldwide, who rely on IMDb to discover and decide what to watch.
Akshaye Widhani, Yash Raj Films CEO and producer of the No. 1 ranking movie Saiyaara, said “Saiyaara being named the Most Popular Indian Movie on the IMDb 2025 list is a moment of immense pride for all of us at YRF. The film has not only set new benchmarks but has connected with audiences across India and the world, cutting across geography, age, and culture.”
Widhani added, “We are hugely grateful that it has become one of the most iconic films for YRF and for the industry, and we thank audiences globally for embracing it with such overwhelming love. At YRF, we have always aspired to create cinema that becomes part of people’s lives and memories, and Saiyaara is a shining example of that vision. A film of this impact is only possible because of the people behind it. Mohit Suri brought a clear vision and deep emotion to the film, while Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda delivered confident, heartfelt debut performances that instantly connected with audiences across the world.”
Aryan Khan, director of The Bads of Bollywood, said, “Seeing The Bads of Bollywood as the most popular web series feels exactly like what we wanted to do — shake the room and own the conversation, to make something that defines an entire genre in the modern era; a pop cultural phenomenon. I wanted this show to be a celebration of the madness, the magic, the mischief, and the raw ambition that fuels this industry. No soft edges, no pretending, we told the story the way it deserved to be told, and audiences across the world showed up for it in a massive way. The memes, the fan edits, the arguments, the obsession — that’s a show becoming part of culture, not just a weekend watch. I am grateful to everyone who clicked play, stayed with it, and made it explode the way it has. The joy this has brought the audience is why I do what I do, bringing stories that are straight from the heart. And this is just the beginning.”
