Bahubali 2 topped the list of Google’s most searched items in India in 2017, overtaking everything else that happened this year. The Telugu blockbuster was briefly the highest grossing Indian film of all time, until Dangal beat it. Incidentally, Dangal is fourth on the list of most searched words or phrases in 2017.
Bollywood reigns supreme in the list of 10 most searched items in India with Half Girlfriend, Badrinath ki Dulhaniya, Munna Michael, Jagga Jasoos and Raees and Dangal taking up six spots. The remaining three spots are taken up by the other thing that holds India’s collective attention — cricket. The IPL takes the second spot overall, with Champions Trophy and the phrase ‘live cricket score’ also making it to the list.
