The thriller genre is immediately embraced by OTT home-watching audiences. Whether crime or investigative thrillers, if well-made, they easily garner views on streaming platforms. That’s one reason why this genre sells like hotcakes for OTT platforms.
It’s not often that we see a Malayalam film trending in Netflix’s non-English Global top 10 list.
Fresh statistics for the week of March 4 – March 10, 2024, show that the Malayalam thriller “Anveshippin Kandethum” claimed the #8 spot with 3,300,000 watch hours and 1,400,000 views.
The surprise is that “Anveshippin Kandethum” even surpassed Sriram Raghavan’s quirky film “Merry Christmas” (Hindi), which received a lot of positive buzz post-OTT release.
“Merry Christmas” (Hindi) occupies the 9th spot, while the Malayalam thriller “Anveshippin Kandethum” sits at the 8th spot in the newly released Netflix Top 10.
