Priyanka Chopra Jonas has scored a massive victory on the global streaming front, with her pirate action film The Bluff emerging as the most-watched original movie across all OTT platforms worldwide. The film, which began streaming on Prime Video on February 25, accumulated an extraordinary 300.3 million minutes of viewership in just its first week. This achievement places it firmly at the top of the global streaming originals chart.
The Bluff features Chopra in the role of Ercell Borden, a woman with a fierce pirate alter ego known as Bloody Mary. The story is set in the Cayman Islands and follows Ercell as she battles a dangerous pirate named Connor, played by Karl Urban. The film is an R-rated adventure packed with sword fights, gunfights, and high-stakes drama.
According to viewership data compiled for the week of February 27 to March 5, The Bluff outperformed all other streaming original films globally. Netflix’s psychological thriller Accused, starring Konkona Sen Sharma, came in second with 213.1 million minutes. Firebreak on Netflix and Paul McCartney: Man on the Run on Prime Video rounded out the top four.
The achievement is particularly significant because the film received mixed critical reviews upon release. Despite reviewers being divided, audiences clearly embraced the high-energy adventure. This demonstrates that audience interest and critical reception do not always align in the streaming era.
Fans have flooded social media with praise for Chopra’s performance and the film’s entertaining action sequences. Comments ranged from “she deserved it” to “The Bluff was shockingly good,” reflecting strong audience satisfaction. The film’s success signals a bright new chapter in Priyanka Chopra’s already illustrious career.
