Akshay Kumar's 'Cuttputlli' Is The Most-Watched Hindi Film On Digital Platform In 2022

Mumbai, January 12 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has had an underwhelming 2022 year on the work front. The actor had multiple releases last year but none of them could become hits at the box office as all his films finished below the 100 crores mark domestically.

Apart from the theatrical releases, Akshay also had a digital release in the form of the crime thriller Cuttputli and it has good success. A remake of the 2018 Tamil film "Ratsasan", "Cuttputli" is directed by Ranjit M. Tewari and produced by Pooja Entertainment.



"Cuttputli" was the most-watched original Hindi film on Digital Platforms, according to Ormax Media. It was released on Disney Plus Hotstar on September 2 and scored 26.9 million views. Yami Gautam's "A Thursday" was the second most-watched film with 25.5 million views. It was also released on Disney+Hotstar.

Disney Plus Hotstar was the biggest gainer from the Hindi film industry with 3 of its original movies crossing 24 million views each as "Govinda Naam Mera" scored 24.4 million views, per Ormax. Disney+ Hotstar (7 films), Prime Video & Netflix (4 films each) share the top 15 spots between them.

The viewership data by Ormax Media has been collected through a methodology that consists of the number of people who watched the show (at least one full episode) or film (at least 30 mins). It does not represent the number of accounts used for watching the show/ film, e.g., three members of a family, or two friends, watching on the same account are considered as the unique audience. The numbers are only associated with Indian audiences.
