Yami Gautam: The Rising OTT Queen with Back-to-Back Netflix Hits

Yami Gautam, who started her career as a model and later acted alongside top Bollywood stars, has established herself as a leading actress. Her father, Mukesh Gautam, is a director in Punjabi cinema, but she entered the film industry without his support through modeling. She initially started acting on television and made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with Vicky Donor, which received critical acclaim. Within a short time, she gained significant recognition in Bollywood.

Yami Gautam also acted in several Telugu films, including Gouravam, Yuddham, and Courier Boy Kalyan, earning some recognition. However, since none of these films were commercially successful, she did not continue in Tollywood. Meanwhile, she has been steadily progressing in Bollywood and has now become more active in the OTT space. Recently, she appeared in Dhoom Dhaam, which premiered on Netflix and became another successful film in her career.

Dhoom Dhaam has become one of the most-watched films on Netflix, featuring Yami Gautam alongside Pratik Gandhi, directed by Rishab Seth. Due to its engaging storyline and concept, the movie has attracted OTT viewers, garnering 4.1 million views within the first week. Reports suggest that after Pushpa 2 and Lucky Bhaskar, Dhoom Dhaam has achieved the highest number of views. In 2023, her film Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga, which was released directly on Netflix without a theatrical release, garnered an impressive 30 million views. Now, once again, Yami has proven her OTT dominance with Dhoom Dhaam, embracing digital platforms while many actresses still prefer theatrical releases.
