Indians streamed 'KGF: Chapter 1' the most last week
The KGF fever continues! And, it seems KGF: Chapter 2 isn't the only one contributing to the frenzy. Its first part was apparently the most streamed film in the country this past week. Released in 2018, KGF: Chapter 1 was also directed by Prashanth Neel, as the second part. KGF: Chapter 1 is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Voot.
Why does this story matter?
KGF: Chapter 1 was a humongous hit and performed the similar way as part two. Made on a budget of Rs. 80cr, the film earned a solid Rs. 250cr. Not just box office numbers, KGF: Chapter 1 won it big at the award functions, too. At the 66th National Film Awards, it won two trophies. Separately, KGF 2 has already earned over Rs. 500cr.
Film defeated Hollywood biggies
The data was compiled by streaming service guide app JustWatch in between the period of April 11-17. KGF: Chapter 1 topping the list is indicating that people wanted to catch up with the first part before KGF 2 hit the marquee on April 14. The action drama defeated the likes of Spider-Man: No Way Home and Death on the Nile to top the list.
Know more about the list
Both Spider-Man: No Way Home and Death on the Nile hit the OTT space on April 15, so them occupying the next two places after KGF: Chapter 1 is not surprising. As per the data, KGF 1 is not the only prequel people wanted to catch up with. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the fourth ranker, echoes that same sentiment.
