Disney+ Hotstar will stream a new Telugu original called ‘Jhansi’ on 27 October. It stars Anjali, Chandini Chowdary, Adarsh Balakrishna, Raj Arun and Samyukta Hornad.

Disney+ Hotstar led the viewership of Hindi language OTT originals in India in the first half of 2022, according to a report by media consulting firm Ormax. The platform streamed five out of the top 10 most-watched original shows.

Disney+ Hotstar’s Ajay Devgn starrer ‘Rudra: The Edge of Darkness’ (35.2 million views) was ranked the number one show across platforms, followed by the third season of ‘Aashram’ at 34.3 million views on MX Player and the second season of ‘Panchayat’ with 29.6 million views on Amazon Prime Video. ‘A Thursday’ (25.5 million) and ‘Moon Knight’ (23.4 million), both on Hotstar, were the most watched original film and international series in the six-month period.

However, Amazon’s ‘Panchayat’ was the most liked show in the time frame considered followed by SonyLIV’s ‘Rocket Boys5’, said the report. Ormax is a tracking, testing and analytics-led consulting firm for television and streaming services, among others.

Thrillers and human dramas such as ‘The Great Indian Murder’ (23 million), ‘Human’ (19.6 million), ‘Masoom’ (16.4 million) and ‘Escaype Live’ (16.1 million) were other Hotstar Hindi originals part of the top 10 list.

‘Lock Upp’, the reality show hosted by Jhansi Kangana Ranaut, that streamed on MX Player and ALTBalaji, also found a mention, with 21.2 million views.

As far as direct-to-digital films go, Yami Gautam’s ‘A Thursday’ (25.5 million) on Hotstar topped the list, followed by Karan Johar’s ‘Gehraiyaan’ (22.3 million) on Amazon Prime Video.
