The film’s meteoric rise is underscored by its impressive fifth-place position on the non-English global charts, a testament to its engaging storyline and exceptional execution.
Barely a week after its release, it has already left an indelible mark on the streaming landscape. As of August 15, 2023, viewing data reveals an astounding 2.1 million hours spent engrossed in its narrative on the renowned streaming platform Netflix. This feat, coupled with its rapid ascent in popularity, places the movie in a league of its own.
