Dinesh Vijan’s latest production Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is causing a global furore on Netflix as it gains position amongst the top 10 trending titles in 61 countries. The Maddock Films production has become the most viewed Indian movie on Netflix within 2 weeks of its launch, with a whopping viewership of 29 million hours globally. The film is also ranked No. 2 worldwide on Netflix.
The top 3 global hits out of India in 14 days of its launch are Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga with 29 million watch hours viewership followed by RRR with 25.5 million watch hours and Gangubai Kathiawadi with 22.1 million viewership hours, respectively.
Previously, talking about the love and adulation that Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga has received on Netflix, Director Ajay Singh said, “I am so thrilled at this response from the audiences. Making this one-of-a-kind heist-hijack thriller felt like a gamble at the time but with the audiences now open to seeing edgy content and with platforms like Netflix supporting such unique content, it gives directors like me room to experiment with our creativity. Yami Gautam and Sunny Kaushal have both given electrifying performances along with a strong ensemble cast. I hope this film continues to track this well globally!”
