Farzi, Guns and Gulaabs top IMDb’s most popular Indian web series 2023 list, Kohraa and Jubilee make it to the list

The long form of storytelling has found acceptance in India and in the last few years, the web series space has seen an increase in the number of takers. While the Indian web series space started coming into its own a few years ago, the pandemic saw a growth here as people stayed indoors for a long period of time and streaming platforms became their primary source of entertainment. In 2023, shows like Farzi and Guns and Gulaabs generated a lot of conversation online and as per IMDb, these two hold the top two spots of ‘Top 10 Most Popular Indian Web Series of 2023.’

Farzi marked the digital debut of Shahid Kapoor and also starred Vijay Sethupathi. It is followed by Netflix’s Guns & Gulaabs. Both series were created by Raj & DK. The third spot was held by Aditya Roy Kapur and Anil Kapoor-starrer The Night Manager, which was an adaptation of the British series of the same name and released in two parts on Disney+ Hotstar. The fourth spot was held by the critically acclaimed Netflix series Kohrra, which starred Suvinder Vicky and Barun Sobti.

The fifth and sixth spots were held by Voot’s Asur 2 and Netflix Rana Naidu. Rana Daggubati and Venkatesh-starrer show is now in the process of making its second season. Sonakshi Sinha and Vijay Varma-starrer Dahaad landed the seventh spot, followed by Dimple Kapadia-led Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo. The last two spots were scored by Hansal Mehta’s Scoop and Vikramaditya Motwane’s Jubilee.

The second season of Made in Heaven, which managed to make some noise online, has not landed a spot on this list. Even Kajol starrer The Trial, which was heavily promoted by the streaming platform, did not make it to the list. Scam 2003, which was the sequel of the much popular Scam 1992 couldn’t manage to generate any chatter online and was missing from the list as well.
