The 5 Most-Viewed Streaming Shows And Movies Of The Week
From new releases like Tandav to older ones that are still going strong like Criminal Justice Season 2, here's a list of the most-viewed shows and movies from the Indian streaming space of last week
Streaming platforms are notorious for their lack of transparency, allowing them to quote numbers that are tough to verify. Ormax Media, a media consulting firm, has began tracking viewership figures of the top releases across major platforms.
Here's a list of the most-viewed Hindi shows and movies from the Indian streaming space during the week of January 11th, 2021 – January 17th, 2020. The numbers are all estimates based only within India.
