Not Uri, Gully Boy or Article 15, this venture is IMDb's top Indian film of 2019

While box office numbers are a parameter to gauge how much an audience liked or disliked a movie, there are various factors that come into play in it. Be it the budget, number of screens or ticket prices, the collection of a movie is not the right criteria to understand its likeability. On the online platform, however, the ratings of a movie by viewers can perhaps be considered as a reliable criteria. The Internet Movie Database (more popularly known as IMDb) is one such portal that gives audiences the platform to give their reviews and rate the movies. If the ratings on the platform are anything to go by, then Malayalam superstar Mammootty’s Peranbu is the most-loved film of this year. The Tamil film left behind many of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful films like Uri: The Surgical Strike, Gully Boy and Article 15.
