Indian cinema has once again proven its immense popularity in 2024, with several films breaking records and captivating audiences both domestically and internationally. Google’s Year-in-Search report has revealed the most-searched Indian films of the year, with Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2, Prabhas’s Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar, and Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail emerging as the top contenders, sparking widespread conversations and trends across social media platforms.

Stree 2 Claims the Top Spot
The horror-comedy Stree 2, featuring Shraddha Kapoor in a leading role, took the crown as the most-searched Indian movie of 2024. The film, a highly anticipated sequel, captivated audiences with its blend of spine-chilling horror and comedic moments, making it a fan favorite. Stree 2 successfully maintained the legacy of its predecessor, keeping viewers engaged with its engaging storyline and strong performances.
Prabhas Dominates with Two Films
Prabhas had an outstanding year, making waves with two films on Google’s most-searched list. Kalki 2898 AD, a sci-fi epic featuring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, secured the second spot. The film’s breathtaking visuals, captivating storyline, and powerful performances made it a significant player in the sci-fi genre, drawing global attention.

Meanwhile, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, produced by Hombale Films, ranked 9th on the list.

The excitement around the sequel is already palpable, as audiences eagerly await what comes next in the Salaar saga.
Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail Inspires Audiences
Another standout film was Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail, which earned the third spot on the list. The film’s inspiring storyline, which follows the journey of a young man facing the challenges of academic pressure, struck a chord with viewers across the country. 12th Fail received widespread acclaim for its heartfelt performances and its poignant message, making it one of the year’s most impactful films.

The Patiala House Court in Delhi has issued summons against Bollywood veteran Dharmendra and two others in connection with a cheating case related to the Garam Dharam Dhaba franchise. The summons, issued on December 5, 2024, follows a complaint filed by Delhi businessman Sushil Kumar, who claims to have been deceived into investing in the restaurant chain.

Allegations and Summons Issued
The case revolves around allegations made by Sushil Kumar, who asserts that he was induced to invest in the Garam Dharam Dhaba franchise based on false promises. Judicial Magistrate Yashdeep Chahal issued the summons, noting that the evidence on record indicated that the accused had lured Kumar into the deal with the intention of defrauding him.

“The evidence on record prima facie indicates that the accused persons induced the complainant in furtherance of their common intent, and the ingredients of the offence of cheating are duly disclosed,” the judge observed in the summoning order.

As per the summons, Dharmendra (referred to as Dharam Singh Deol in legal documents) along with two co-accused individuals, has been asked to appear for the commission of offences under Section 420 (cheating), Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) read with Section 34 (common intention) of the IPC. Additionally, two of the accused have also been summoned for criminal intimidation under Section 506 of the IPC.
Details of the Alleged Fraud
The complaint was filed by Sushil Kumar, who claims that in April 2018, he was approached by one of the co-accused on behalf of Dharmendra, with an offer to open a Garam Dharam Dhaba franchise in Uttar Pradesh. Kumar was allegedly told that the existing branches in Delhi’s Connaught Place and Haryana’s Murthal were generating a monthly turnover of approximately Rs 70-80 lakh.

Lured by the lucrative promise, Kumar was assured a seven percent profit on his investment of Rs 41 lakh. Further discussions led to the complainant being asked to invest a total of Rs 63 lakh plus tax to secure the franchise. A letter of intent was signed on September 22, 2018, confirming this agreement.

The complainant handed over a cheque of Rs 17.70 lakh, which was encashed by the accused. However, despite Kumar’s repeated attempts to get the business up and running, the respondents allegedly failed to honor their commitments. Kumar also alleges that after investing in land for the franchise, he was unable to contact the accused and was threatened with dire consequences if he persisted in reaching out.
Court’s Ruling and Future Proceedings
The court has scheduled the next hearing for February 20, 2025. During this stage, the court stated that the summoning process is based on the prima facie evidence, and a thorough examination of the merits and demerits of the case will be conducted at a later stage.

Previously, the complainant had approached the Connaught Place police station, where an inquiry was carried out. The police initially classified the matter as a breach of contract, stating that no cognizable offence had been committed. However, after reviewing the case, the court has decided to proceed with the summons.

Netflix has unveiled the much-anticipated trailer for Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous, a riveting documentary chronicling the journey of India’s trailblazing and iconic music sensation. From his meteoric rise to fame to his sudden disappearance and subsequent struggles, the documentary peels back the layers of Honey Singh’s life to reveal the man behind the angrezi beats and controversies, all the way to his comeback.

Directed by Mozez Singh and produced by the Oscar-winning Sikhya Entertainment, the documentary features never-before-seen moments from the rapper’s personal and professional life, including heartfelt accounts from his family, friends, and collaborators. With this honest and deeply personal portrayal, the trailer offers a glimpse into Honey Singh’s rise as the pioneer of desi hip-hop and Punjabi pop music, the struggles that forced him into hiatus, and his fight to reclaim his space in the ever-evolving music industry.

Honey Singh shares , “For years, there have been countless conjectures about me in the media, and I have never really shared my side of the story. This documentary is the right opportunity to tell my story. My fans have always stood by me, even in my absence, and for that, I am eternally grateful. This docu-film on Netflix goes beyond the spotlight to reveal the real me — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I’m excited to finally share my journey with the world.

Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain, Producers, Sikhya Entertainment said , “Documenting a career as colourful as Yo Yo Honey Singh’s has been an extremely memorable journey for our crew along with Netflix, it was fascinating to discover how little we knew about the real person behind the stage name. True to the spirit of a docu-film, we’re excited to share the untold aspects of the journey of one of India’s most beloved music icons—there’s hardly anyone who hasn’t grooved to at least one of his songs, and now is the time to get to know the real him, unfiltered. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Mozez Singh, who brings his vision and empathy to bring an unfiltered glimpse into the life of the undisputed king of music – introducing audiences to the real story behind India’s most heard voice. It’s equally exciting to return to Netflix, where our last docu-film was embraced with so much love across the globe.”

Director Mozez Singh added , “It has been a privilege to make this film. Honey has given me unprecedented access into his life and the fact that he has trusted me with his story has been a real moment of truth for me, not just as a filmmaker but as a human being too. I’m very proud of FAMOUS and I hope the world will love watching it as much as I have loved making it. And lastly, a big thank you to Netflix and Sikhya for the opportunity and to my editor Deepa Bhatia for supporting my vision.”
