On April 11, 2025, the Tollywood courtroom drama Court: State Vs A Nobody, presented by Nani, premiered on Netflix in multiple languages, including Telugu. On the same day, Vicky Kaushal’s historical epic Chhaava, which had already created a sensation at the box office, also made its OTT debut -first in Hindi and later in Telugu.
Within days, both films began trending on Netflix’s global charts in the Non-English category. Interestingly, Chhaava secured the 4th spot, while Court followed closely at 5th. But here’s the twist – though both films garnered the same number of views (2.2 million), Chhaava clocked 5.9 million viewing hours, while Court achieved the same viewership in just 5.4 million hours. This means Court delivered stronger engagement in a shorter span, making it a more efficient performer on the platform.
Both films are receiving an overwhelming response from home audiences for their compelling storytelling, and their presence on the global trending charts shows no signs of slowing down.
While Court marks the directorial debut of Ram Jagadeesh, Chhaava is directed by Lakshman Utekar. Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming OTT releases and their record-breaking runs.
