Janhvi Kapoor’s Bawaal to Sanjay Kapoor in Bloody Daddy: How The Kapoor Khandan Ruled OTT Films In 2023

It has been just close to a month since we have entered the year 2024, and the hangover of the cinema of 2023 is still quite fresh. It was a great year at the box office for Indian cinema, but even in the OTT space, it was quite a terrific year. The audience witnessed some chilling content on the digital space in films, and it is the Kapoor family that has reigned supreme on the OTT space with Janhvi Kapoor's Bawaal and Sanjay Kapoor's Bloody Daddy topping the viewership charts.

Recently, Ormax Media had released the list of the most watched OTT films in 2023. The top 2 spots in the list were bagged by Bawaal and Bloody Daddy respectively. The common factor in both those films is the Kapoor family connection. Nitesh Tiwari's Bawaal starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor emerged the most watched OTT film in 2023 with 21.2 million views. The film told a pure love story which is influenced by the horrors of World War 2 and bring a change in the protagonist's heart.

Closely following, the second spot was bagged by Shahid Kapoor starrer Bloody Daddy with 17 million views. The Ali Abbas Zafar actioner emerged a true winner and saw Sanjay Kapoor in a completely new avatar as the antagonist. His look created waves across and brought a new fandom for the actor. Not just the uncle and niece, but even Anil Kapoor had a successful OTT debut outing last year in the show The Night Manager with Aditya Roy Kapur. If that wasn't all, even Khushi Kapoor made her debut on the digital space with Zoya Akhtar's The Archies which also ranks in the Top 10 list by Ormax.

Sanjay Kapoor has given a tremendous start at the box office to the Kapoor family with his impressive portrayal in Sriram Raghavan's Merry Christmas. Even Anil Kapoor has arrived with the big-ticket release Fighter co-starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone recently. Seems like the Kapoor Khandan is all set to rule 2024 as well.
