Taapsee Pannu has once again demonstrated that audience pull easily comes out on top. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics upon its Netflix premiere, her latest action crime thriller, Gandhari, tells a completely different story through user engagement. Last week, the film trended across 58 countries on Netflix, racking up a combined total of 30.6 million viewing hours.
Rather than fading after its opening weekend, the movie experienced an extraordinary surge in its second week, officially breaking into the rankings for the Top 3 most-watched Netflix original Indian films of 2026!

The 62.7% increase in views during Week 2 underscores how strong word of mouth is fueling international catch-up viewing across global markets.
