Taapsee Pannu is celebrating the strong global response to her latest release Gandhari, which has made a significant impact on Netflix within just a few days of its premiere. Released worldwide on September 3, the film has reportedly climbed to the top of Netflix’s rankings across several international markets.
The response has left Taapsee overwhelmed, particularly because Gandhari has managed to connect with audiences outside India almost immediately after its digital debut.
Gandhari Trends No. 1 In Eight Countries
Taapsee took to social media to share her excitement over the film’s early performance. According to the actress, Gandhari was trending at No. 1 in eight countries as of September 5, just two days after its global release.
The countries where the film reportedly reached the top spot include:
- India
- Bangladesh
- Pakistan
- UAE
- Bahrain
- Oman
- Sri Lanka
- Mauritius
The film was also reportedly ranked No. 2 in Kuwait and Nigeria, further highlighting its reach across international Netflix markets.
Gandhari Ranks No. 4 Globally On Netflix
The biggest reason for Taapsee’s excitement, however, was the film’s position on the global Netflix chart.
Sharing the update, the actress revealed that Gandhari had reached No. 4 globally within three days of its release.
Taapsee spoke about how difficult it can be to assess the performance of a film released directly on a streaming platform, particularly when it launches simultaneously across multiple countries.
She said, “Release week is very stressful, especially when you know your film is going to release in the whole world at the same time.”
The actress explained that unlike a theatrical release, where filmmakers can track screens, shows and ticket sales, a streaming release makes it harder to immediately understand the scale of the audience watching the film.
Taapsee Says She Could Hardly Sleep
Taapsee admitted that the release period had been particularly stressful for her as she tried to understand how audiences were responding to Gandhari.
She said that she had “hardly been able to sleep” over the previous two nights while trying to figure out how to assess the film’s viewership and reception.
The early rankings, however, appear to have provided the actress with plenty to celebrate.
Sharing the chart positions with her followers, Taapsee described the moment as a “really really happy” one and thanked audiences for their response.
Gandhari Connects With International Audiences
The film’s performance across South Asian and Middle Eastern markets is particularly notable. Its No. 1 position in countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Sri Lanka suggests that the film is finding an audience beyond its home market.
Its reported ranking in Nigeria and Kuwait also indicates that interest in the film is not limited to countries with large Indian or South Asian audiences.
For Taapsee, this international response adds another dimension to the film’s reception and demonstrates the potential reach of a Netflix release.
Gandhari Released On September 3
Gandhari premiered globally on September 3 on Netflix. The film stars Taapsee Pannu in the lead role and is built around an intense dramatic narrative.
Within days of its release, the movie began appearing prominently on Netflix’s country-level charts, eventually reaching the reported No. 4 position globally.
The early response has given the film a strong start on the platform, although its longer-term performance will depend on whether it can maintain its momentum in the coming days.
Taapsee Pannu’s Reaction To Gandhari’s Success
For Taapsee, the early numbers represent more than just a ranking. The actress has previously spoken about the uncertainty surrounding a film’s release, and a global streaming launch presents its own unique challenges.
With no conventional box-office figures to track, Netflix’s country and global rankings provide one of the most visible indicators of audience interest.
The actress’s reaction shows just how closely she has been following the film’s performance since its release.
If Gandhari continues to maintain its position across Netflix’s international charts, it could emerge as one of Taapsee Pannu’s notable streaming successes.
