All the ‘India-related’ Trends Pakistan Searched for on Google in 2024
Summary
Google’s *’Year in Search 2024’* for Pakistan revealed a strong interest in Indian content. Key searches included:
– **Cricket**: Five of the most-searched matches featured India, including India-Pakistan in the T20 World Cup.
– **People**: Mukesh Ambani topped the search list.
– **Movies & Drama**: Indian TV shows (*Heeramandi, Bigg Boss 17*) and Bollywood movies (*Animal, Stree 2, Dunki*) dominated.

Each year, Google publishes its ‘Year in Search’ report, highlighting the most popular search trends across countries, including topics like news, sports, celebrities, movies, TV shows, and tutorials. Like India, Google recently released the *’Year in Search 2024’* report for Pakistan, showcasing the topics that captured the most interest among Pakistani users.
For 2024, Pakistan’s top search trends were grouped into six key categories: *Cricket, People, Movies and Drama, How-to, Recipes,* and *Tech.* Notably, many searches in Pakistan were related to India—spanning cricket matches, Indian business leaders, Bollywood movies, and OTT shows.
Cricket
In the cricket category, five out of the most-searched matches in Pakistan involved India. The highly anticipated India-Pakistan clash during the T20 World Cup was, of course, a major highlight. Other key matches that topped searches included:
– India vs Australia
– India vs England
– India vs South Africa
These were significant games India played in the T20 World Cup tournament.
People
In the *People* category, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, was one of the most-searched individuals in Pakistan.
Movies and Drama**
Indian entertainment dominated Pakistan’s *Movies and Drama* search trends. Several popular Indian TV shows and Bollywood movies made the list, including:
– **TV Shows**: *Heeramandi*, *12th Fail*, *Mirzapur Season 3*, and *Bigg Boss 17*
– **Movies**: *Animal*, *Stree 2*, *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3*, and *Dunki*
The Contrast with India’s Search Trends**
interestingly, Google’s *’Year in Search 2024’* for India did not feature any trending searches related to Pakistan. Instead, Indian search trends were a mix of sports, entertainment, pop culture, and travel. From major events like the IPL and the Olympics to popular movies (*Stree 2* and K-dramas) and unique trends such as Gen Z workplace memes, India’s searches covered a diverse range of interests.
While Pakistan’s searches reflected significant interest in Indian content and cricket, India’s search trends remained focused on its own culture, sports, and global topics.
