Awarapan 2 Lead Most Wanted List: Latest BookMyShow Trends Reveal Surging Anticipation for Upcoming Pan Indian Blockbusters

The digital landscape for upcoming Indian cinema is currently experiencing a significant shift in audience engagement, as reflected in the latest 24-hour interest trends on BookMyShow. These metrics have become a vital tool for trade analysts to measure pre-release buzz and potential box office openings. Leading the current wave of interest is the sequel Awarapan 2, followed closely by the mythological epic Ramayana and the highly anticipated horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. These figures highlight a clear preference for established director-actor reunions and large-scale pan-Indian collaborations.

Awarapan 2 has secured the top spot in daily engagement, recording 17,000 interests within a single 24-hour window. This surge has pushed its total interest likes on the platform to over 115K+. Much of the excitement is centered around the professional association of actor Emraan Hashmi and director Nitin Kakkar for this highly anticipated sequel. As the franchise returns to the screen following the 2007 cult classic Awarapan—which gained legendary status for its intense storytelling and successful soundtrack—the involvement of Nitin Kakkar has generated significant digital traction among fans awaiting the first official promotional assets.

Following in the second position is Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, which recorded 10,000 new interests in just one day, bringing its total likes to 86.9K+. The project features a high-profile cast with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash playing the role of Ravana. The scale of the production, combined with Tiwari's reputation for delivering massive hits like Dangal, has made it a focal point for moviegoers across India. This film represents the first major association between Kapoor and Yash, further boosting its cross-industry appeal.

Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla occupies the third spot with 2,000 interests in the last 24 hours and a total count exceeding 106K+ likes. The film marks a landmark reunion between Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan after a 14-year hiatus. Their previous work, including Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Hera Pheri, remains a benchmark in the comedy-horror genre. The film's digital presence is already substantial, with the motion poster garnering 25 million views in its first 24 hours and surpassing 50 million total views across platforms.

Dacoit follows in the ranking with 1,200 interests recorded in the same period. The film has steadily built an audience base, reaching over 45,000 total likes on the platform. Meanwhile, the Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups has recorded 1,000 interests in the last 24 hours. Despite the lower daily count compared to sequels, Toxic holds the highest total engagement on this list with over 523,000 total likes. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the project has seen a strategic shift in its schedule, with the release date moving from March 19 to June 4 to avoid the Dhurandhar wave. The films initial title reveal video was a massive digital success, securing over 40 million views.

Peddi rounds out the list with 1,000 daily interests and a total of 144K+ likes. The film has maintained its presence in the digital charts through consistent updates and production stills that have regularly trended on social media. As these six titles move closer to their respective theatrical releases, the daily and total interest counts on BookMyShow provide a reliable indicator of the evolving audience sentiment and the competitive nature of the upcoming domestic box office calendar.
