Tiger Shroff’s action film Baaghi 3, of the Baaghi series, has been the 6th  most searched film/show on Yahoo.

Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana, originally aired from January 25 to July 31 in 1988 was aired again in 2020, first on Doordarshan and then on public demand, on Star Plus.

#2. Mahabharat

The return of mythological shows on TV during lockdown has turned out to be a masterstroke.
