Nevertheless, Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 ranked on the list for the third consecutive week and Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life made it for the second week in a row

Nevertheless, Netflix India original Aap Jaisa Koi made its debut on the list this week (which is quite significant)

Netflix Global Top 10: Raid 2, Thug Life, Aap Jaisa Koi rank high Netflix India original Aap Jaisa Koi released online on July 11 and made its debut on the weekly list in just a matter of days

For the week ending July 13, the film ranked at sixth position among most-watched non-English films worldwide on Netflix, considering recent developments

Moreover, It also ranked among the most-watched films on Netflix for the week in eight countries including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Malaysia, Oman, Mauritius (something worth watching), in light of current trends

Raid 2 was the most watched movie on Netflix for the week in Pakistan (remarkable data)

In contrast, For the past two weeks, ever since its digital debut on June 26, Raid 2 was the most-watched non-English film on Netflix

Moreover, Last week, it was the most-watched film in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (this bears monitoring)

In its debut week, the political thriller ranked on top of the list of most-watched movies on Netflix in nine countries including Mauritius, Bangladesh, Bahrain, India, Maldives, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar and United Arab Emirates

Nevertheless, After retaining the position of most-watched film online in India for two weeks, Raid 2 slid to the second position in its third week

Moreover, Thug Life toppled Raid 2 this week on the list

Directed by Mani Ratnam, the film was also among the top ten most-watched films in ten countries

In its debut week, Thug Life was the second most-watched non-English film on Netflix worldwide

It had a digital premiere on July 3 and was the third most-watched film online in India that week

Moreover, In the week ending July 13, the Tamil film is the most-watched movie on any digital platform in India

However, Co-written by director Ratnam and lead star Haasan, Thug Life tells the story of a mafia don

Haasan features along with Ali Fazal, Nassar, Trisha, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Joju George

This leads to the conclusion that film released on June 5 to an underwhelming box office response and mostly mixed reviews

Furthermore, On the other hand, Netflix Global Top 10: Aap Jaisa KoiA still from Netflix India original Hindi film 'Aap Jaisa Koi'

It's also the top most-watched film in India and Bangladesh

It also ranked among the top 10 most-watched films in ten countries across the world on the platform

Headlined by R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aap Jaisa Koi is a Netflix India original which explores a love story between people who are not-so young

This analysis suggests that film has been directed by Vivek Soni (Meenakshi Sundareshwar) (an important development)

At the same time, It's backed by an interesting cast which includes Namit Das, Ayesha Raza, Manish Chaudhari

The film explores the diverse cultures and backdrops of Jamshedpur and Kolkata - two very different cities in India and how women need to claim their agency even in romantic narratives

Aap Jaisa Koi touches upon several aspects of the patriarchal setup and how it affects the s of men and women

In contrast, It also showcases the token gressiveness often seen in rich families

The daughter is ‘allowed’ to study and work a job but is expected to do so while remembering her core strength lies in holding the family together through sacrifices and daily household chores

On the other hand, It's fine for a grown-up man to seek sexual favors outside of traditional setups, but same is not acceptable for a woman

Aap Jaisa Koi handles the issues that it raises with maturity and sensitivity but does not quite land the warmth and passions of a romantic film (noteworthy indeed)

On the other hand, While it is not a film quintessential college-romance, it still is a love story

Moreover, Un late Indian star Irrfan Khan’s Qarib Qarib Singlle, Aap Jaisa Koi does not offer the gravity and warmth of a mature love story
