Priyanka Chopra has set the global streaming world alight with The Bluff, which registered 300.3 million minutes of viewership on Prime Video during the week of February 27 to March 5. The film’s dominant performance across worldwide OTT platforms makes it the most-watched original film of the period. Chopra’s electrifying turn as the pirate Bloody Mary has captured the imagination of audiences across the globe.
Set in the Cayman Islands, The Bluff is a cinematic adventure of the highest order, following Ercell Borden as she wages war against the pirate Connor, played with menacing intensity by Karl Urban. The film was directed by Frank E. Flowers and produced by the Russo siblings, with a cast that includes established and emerging talent from across the industry. Its R-rating reflects the film’s serious and intense approach to its action sequences.
The global streaming leaderboard for the week confirms The Bluff at number one, with Accused on Netflix close behind at 213.1 million minutes. Firebreak earned third place with 177.2 million minutes, followed by the Paul McCartney documentary at 156.2 million minutes. The Wrecking Crew rounded out the top five at 110.6 million minutes.
The film’s success is particularly striking given the lukewarm reception from critics. While some praised its visual ambition and Chopra’s commitment to the role, others found fault with its narrative arc. Yet the global audience embraced it wholeheartedly, underscoring the increasing irrelevance of critical gatekeeping in the streaming era.
The fan response to the achievement has been nothing short of spectacular, with messages of joy, pride, and admiration flooding social media from fans around the world. Many described The Bluff as a film that exceeded expectations and delivered on its thrilling premise. Priyanka Chopra’s streaming fire is burning brighter than ever.
