After receiving harsh comments from Sandeep Reddy Vanga earlier this year, director Kiran Rao can take comfort in knowing that her 'low-budget', rural dramedy Laapataa Ladies has garnered more views on Netflix than Vanga's big-budget, heavily promoted, and highly controversial action film Animal.

Meanwhile, Laapataa Ladies premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and was later released in theatres in March, but it only earned a little over Rs 20 crore globally. However, the streaming performance of the two films tells a different tale.

On the other hand, Animal premiered on Netflix in January and garnered at least 13.6 million views in the first three weeks before dropping out of the top 10 in the fourth week. Laapataa Ladies not only stayed in the top 10 for a week longer than *Animal*, but it hasn't fallen below the top 5.&nbsp;
In its first week, Laapataa Ladies garnered 5.3 million viewing hours from 2.6 million views, improved in the second week with 7 million viewing hours from 3.4 million views, and then increased again in the third week with 11.6 million viewing hours from 5.6 million views. In the fourth week, the film accumulated 4.5 million viewing hours from 2.2 million views.
