Global online database IMDb has unveiled its list of the most popular Indian films and streaming shows of the year so far. The list features titles released between January 1, 2021, and June 3, 2021.

Starring Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles, Tamil film Master grabbed the top spot on the list. The action-thriller, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, hit screens on the occasion of Pongal in January 2021, before releasing on streaming media platform Amazon Prime later. Master, which also featured actress Malavika Mohanan in a crucial role, emerged as a blockbuster at the domestic box office despite the raging coronavirus pandemic. If reports are to be believed, Salman Khan is planning to remake the film in Hindi.

Other popular films on the list include Priyanka Chopra’s The White Tiger, Mohanlal’s Drishyam 2, Dhanush’s Karnan and Pawan Kalyan’s Vakeel Saab. All the aforementioned films did not only receive overwhelming response from viewers but critics also showered praises on them.

The list also includes three web series: Aspirants, November Story and Maharani.

Here are the most popular Indian films and streaming shows of 2021 so far:

  1. Master (streaming on Amazon Prime Video)
  2. Aspirants (streaming on TVF)

9 celebs who moved from LA to London and why the list keeps growing

Highlights:

  • Nine more names have quietly joined London's growing celebrity population, some confirmed only in the past few months.
  • Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively reportedly bought a home in Richmond, southwest London, for between £8m and £9m, in early 2026.
  • Hugh Jackman is said to be weighing a permanent UK stay after filming in London, joining a growing list of actors who came for a job and started looking at estate agents' windows instead.
  • Official figures show a genuine 26 per cent rise in Americans applying for UK citizenship in 2024, though some widely repeated statistics about the trend don't hold up under checking.

London's celebrity population keeps growing, and not always for the reasons anyone expects. Last year, we looked at ten stars who'd already made London their full-time home, Ellen DeGeneres, Ryan Gosling, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma among them. Since then, the list hasn't stopped growing. Some of these moves are brand new. Others have been quietly settled for years without much fuss. Here are nine names adding themselves to the city's ever-expanding resident list.

9 celebs who've made the move

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively The most recent addition to this list, and one of the more concrete ones. Early reports in 2026 suggested the couple purchased a home on Richmond Hill for somewhere between £8 million and £9 million. Reynolds and Lively have spent most of their time between New York properties in Bedford and Tribeca, which makes a dedicated London base a genuinely new chapter rather than a rumour repeated for years.
