Kabir Singh beats Avengers Endgame as 2019’s most searched movie on Google India

The year 2019 was loaded with some heavy releases in both Hollywood and Bollywood. And while box office collections and reviews are one way of judging the performance of a film, Google does it differently. Google India just released its trends list for 2019, which includes Top 10 most-searched films of the year. The list includes both Hollywood and Bollywood films that were a huge success in the movie theatres. According to Google’s verdict, Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh topped the list as the most searched movie on Google in 2019 in India, leaving even Avengers Endgame behind. Yes, that's right. One of the most anticipated films, which was also the biggest Hollywood grosser in India, landed the second spot.

The list includes all the top films of 2019, including Gully Boy, Super 30, Mission Mangal, Captain Marvel and Joker. While the list does include a fair number of Bollywood films, if we look at the Top five names, there are surprisingly few Indian films that made their way to the search engine. Unlike last year’s list, in which 4 out of 5 movies were Hindi, namely Baaghi 2, Race 3 and Zinda Hai. This year’s top 5 most searched movies are Kabir Singh, on number one position, followed by Avengers: Endgame, third is Joker, fourth is Captain America and Super 30 is the fifth film on the list. With the ratio of 3:2, it seems like the Indian audience enjoyed Hollywood more than Bollywood.

Despite all the controversy surrounding Kabir Singh, Google’s analysis clearly shows that even though considerable questions were raised against the film by various sections of the society, the film managed to make a mark as far as the audience was concerned. As they say, bad publicity is good publicity. Although the film was criticised for its storyline, theme and portrayal of women, the film did well at the box office and Shahid was praised for his acting skills.

Avengers: Endgame, on the other hand, might have come second on the google search bar, but was definitely appreciated by the Indian audience. Everything from the trailer to the actual film was very well received by the audience and MCU fans.
