The year 2021 is about to end but the coronavirus pandemic still continues to haunt everyone. However, even during the gloomy days, only films like Sooryavanshi to Jai Bhim have come to our rescue to take our minds off from reality. Now Google has released a list of movies that have been searched the most this year.
As theatres across the country have not fully opened yet, several films were released on OTT. Some films later this year saw theatrical release with restricted capacity. Amongst many films that were released this year, it seems the audience had a strong interest in regional cinema.
As per an Indian Express report, Suriya’s Jai Bhim has become the most searched on Google. T J Gnanavel’s film focuses on the real-life struggles of marginalised groups in the country. It was based on the real story of Irula woman Parvathi finding justice for her husband, who was arrested and tortured by police in a false case of theft. Suriya played the role of a lawyer turned-judge, K Chandru.
