Other movies like Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani’s Laxmii, Tiger Shroff starrer Baaghi 3, Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Gulabo Sitabo dominated the list. Despite these movies failing to impress the viewers and critics, they created a buzz and also made to the list. The only Hollywood movie to make it to the list was Extraction. Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and the intermittent lockdowns, queries on web series flowed with Money Heist topping the list, followed by Indian entries like Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, Bigg Boss 14 and Mirzapur 2.
