Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh was the most searched film of 2019, Google India has declared as part of its year in review feature. The Bollywood hit was trailed by Marvel superhuman movie Avengers: Endgame.
Kabir Singh defied poor reviews and multiple controversies to rise as a box office success. The film made Rs 380 crore around the world. Endgame, in the meantime, is the year's highest-grossing film in India and around the world, having made over Rs 450 crore in India and a record-breaking $2.798 billion around the world.
In a somewhat surprising turn of events, three out of the main five most searched movies of the year happen to be Hollywood imports. Kabir Singh and Endgame were trailed by Joker, Captain Marvel and Super 30.
Joker made over a billion dollars around the world, as captained Marvel. Excessively 30 checked Hrithik Roshan's return to box office success. He lined it up with the action exhibition War, which took the number eight spot on the Google India list.
At the number six position was Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal; number seven went to Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt's Oscar entry Gully Boy. Another Akshay film, Housefull 4, took the ninth spot. The list was rounded off by Uri: The Surgical Strike.
In general news queries, searches were ruled by the Lok Sabha Elections, Chandrayaan 2, and Article 370.
