IMDb has released its list of the most popular series of 2025, and Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood has taken the top position. The rankings are based on page views from more than 250 million monthly IMDb visitors worldwide, making it a fan driven list.
With a 7.6 rating on IMDb, The Ba***ds of Bollywood has earned praise for its star power and engaging plot. While some viewers may disagree with the ranking, the show’s popularity has clearly pushed it ahead of several heavyweights on OTT.
Black Warrant holds the 2nd spot despite having a higher 7.9 rating. Featuring standout performances by Rahul Bhat, Sidhant Gupta and others, it remains one of the strongest shows of the year. Paatal Lok Season 2 sits at 3rd place with a rating of 8.2 and multiple OTT awards, yet it could not match the hype generated around Aryan Khan’s series.
Panchayat and Mandala Murders take the 4th and 5th positions. Some users argue that The Ba***ds of Bollywood should not have led the list, but the show’s massive reach and cultural buzz appear to have boosted its popularity.
Despite strong competitors with excellent storytelling and performances, Aryan Khan’s marketing strategy and the overall hype around The Ba***ds of Bollywood helped it become the most popular series of 2025.
