The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has revealed its list of the top 10 Indian films and shows of the year so far, and despite the emergence of streaming, the films list was topped by two star-driven theatrical releases. While Pathaan is the most popular Indian movie of 2023 so far, the TV list was topped by the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Farzi.
IMDb determines these lists by a very simple metric — page views. This list shouldn’t be seen as a reflection of these titles’ quality, or even their box office performance or critical reception.

Shah Rukh reacted to Pathaan topping the list with a statement. “It’s extremely heartening to learn that Pathaan is first on the list by IMDb. To see the amount of love that Pathaan has received is amazing, and whenever any work gets placed first, then the thing to do is to work twice as hard on the next one to thank everyone for this recognition. Most importantly, I would like to thank the team of Pathaan and the audiences across the globe for making this happen!” he said. The movie marked SRK’s return to starring roles after a five-year sabbatical, and ended up becoming the highest-grossing hit of his career.
