India's Most-Watched OTT Show In 2025 So Far, Has 27.7M Views, Beats Aashram, Panchayat, Squid Game 3

The streaming wave in India continues to grow stronger in 2025, with originals outperforming global giants and grabbing mass attention.

In 2024, Mirzapur Season 3 on Amazon Prime Video was India’s most-watched OTT series, crossing 30 million views. Squid Game Season 2 became the most-watched international show of all time in India.

This year, the crown doesn’t go to much-hyped Squid Game 3 or buzzy desi sequels. 

Ormax Media’s Top 50 Streaming Originals in India, Mid-Year Report (Jan–June 2025) reveals that Panchayat Season 4, starring Jitendra Kumar and Neena Gupta, holds the 3rd spot.

The gritty drama continues strong, with Bobby Deol’s Ek Badman, the next chapter in Aashram, ranking 2nd on the list.

At No. 1 is none other than Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, starring the ever-powerful Pankaj Tripathi. With 27.7M views, it beats both old favourites and global sensations.

Known for his versatility and intensity, Tripathi once again headlined with a compelling legal thriller that resonates with both urban and rural viewers alike. He was last seen on the silver screen alongside Sara Ali Khan in Metro... In Dino.

Criminal Justice: A Family Matter follows a sensitive custody battle tangled with deeper family secrets and legal twists, all brought to life by Pankaj Tripathi’s sharp courtroom brilliance. The show is available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar.
