Manoj Bajpayee's historical drama Governor has risen to the number one spot on Prime Video India's overall movie trending charts. The film, directed by Chinmay Mandlekar, moved from the rental service to regular streaming and has been climbing. It is inspired by events surrounding India's 1991 economic crisis and follows a newly appointed RBI Governor who must prevent the country from slipping into bankruptcy. The film also stars Adah Sharma and Noushad Mohamed Kunju in key roles. Produced by Sunshine Pictures, the screenplay was co-written by Suvendu Bhattacharjee, Saurabh Bharat, Ravi Asrani, and Vipul Amrutlal Shah. Music is by Amit Trivedi with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Bollywood Hungama reports the film had earlier topped Prime Video's rental charts, surpassing even the platform's international titles.
