R.S. Prasanna’s Sitaare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan, is all set for its theatrical release on June 20, 2025. Given the star power attached to the film, the buzz surrounding it is naturally high. However, the upcoming sports drama has surprisingly been outranked by a relatively lesser-known film without a star-studded cast. We are talking about the romantic drama Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, featuring Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday in the lead roles. Meanwhile, Panchayat Season 4, which generated immense buzz and fans are eyeing its release, has been dropped from IMDb’s Top 10 Most Anticipated Indian Movies and Shows list.
Panchayat Season 4 Missing From IMDb Top 10
The eagerly anticipated fourth season of Panchayat, which is scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on June 24, 2025, is nowhere to be found on the IMDb top ten list. Read on to find out which other Indian films have cracked the list and which title holds the top spot.
