IMDb also shared the list of top 10 popular Indian movies of 2022. No prizes for guessing which film topped the list. Rajamouli’s RRR rules the list, followed by The Kashmir Files and KGF: Chapter 2. Rajamouli's period action film RRR has scooped nominations in two categories at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards—Best Picture (Non-English) and Best Original Song - Motion Picture. RRR follows a pre-Independence fictional story woven around two real-life Indian revolutionaries—Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem—in the 1920s.
