Netflix’s New ‘John Wick’ Rival Officially Becomes the Alpha of Streaming

In an unusual turn of events, Netflix’s non-English movies chart this week was dominated by Indian films. The streamer puts out weekly viewership reports unlike most of its competitors, and this week’s chart tracks data for the week of August 31 to September 6. The English-language chart was topped by the psychological thriller The Whisper Man, which has amassed 55 million views in two weeks, while the non-English chart was topped by The Secret Woman, which has hit 30 million views in the same period. Among the six Indian movies on the top-10 list was the action-thriller Gandhari, which took the third spot. The number four spot, on the other hand, was claimed by a holdover hit that topped the chart in four countries this week. The movie’s plot, which revolves around a woman who rebels against her oppressors, would appeal to fans of Black Widow and From the World of John Wick: Ballerina.
