The film revolves around an overworked man who meets a mysterious stranger The God of Time, where he is given a chance to turn his life around. This man's, Mark's life clock is ticking and Titan (The God Of Time) is here to grant Mark his only wish. How will the story lead? You will have to watch this superhit on Netflix to find out.

While the film was released in July 2023, it is still in the Top 2 on Netflix. 

3) Heart Of Stone:

Alia Bhatt's Hollywood debut along with Wonder Woman Gal Gadot and Fifty Shades fame Jamie Dornan. This spy thriller drama has Bhatt in a grey-shaded role where Bhatt and Gadot are in a rat chase over the AI intelligence system "The Heart" of the intelligence agency Charter which has the vision of global peacemaking through its top-in-class spies. 

The film received mixed reviews from critics as it has been compared to other spy thrillers such as "Mission: Impossible" and "Citadel." However, it has also been criticized for being too derivative and unoriginal. Overall, Heart of Stone is a mixed bag. It has some good elements, such as Gadot's performance and the action sequences. However, it is also hampered by a predictable plot and a lack of originality. 

The film was released on July 13 on Netflix and has still managed to be in the Top 3 of the trending charts. 

4) Adipurush: 

This Ramayan adaptation film is infamous for receiving great criticism from movie-goers over its poor dialogue, change in the narrative of the Hindu epic Ramayan, and poor performance of the cast. Yet this film still made it to the top 4 in trending is a shocker.

The film stars Bahubali stars Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan in leading roles with a lavish budget. It was released on June 16, 2023, and despite being available on both competing OTT platforms Amazon Prime Videos and Netflix, the movie has still managed to be trending on Netflix. 

5) The Monkey King:

A Chinese 3D animated film is a fantasy tale of the popular Chinese mythological character The Monkey King. He is a trickster figure who is also known for his courage and strength. The films based on the Monkey King are often action-packed and full of humour. They also explore the themes of good versus evil and the importance of self-discovery. 

If you are interested in learning more about the Monkey King, I recommend reading the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. The novel tells the story of the Monkey King's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist sutras. It is a fascinating and epic tale that has been enjoyed by readers for centuries. 

The film was released on August 11 and has still managed to be in the Top 5 of the charts as it is being widely loved by the audience.
