In the absence of any central measurement, it’s very difficult to gauge which shows or films delivered audience on streaming, and which ones fell short. Since 2018-19, Ormax Media has been extensively working to build industry data in this fast-growing category in India. Through our various products and tracks, we now have sufficient data points to monitor the evolution of the streaming category, especially since the onset of the pandemic in 2020.

Our year-end report, titled Streaming Originals in India: The 2023 Story, lists at the top original shows and direct-to-OTT films released in 2023, in Hindi & International languages, on three parameters: Viewership, Marketing Buzz & Content Strength. The report focuses only on original content, and does not cover other ‘non-original’ content on streaming, such as theatrical films, catch-up television, sports, etc.
