The world of OTT in India is now bigger than ever, with original shows and films releasing across multiple platforms almost every day. Spanning a wide range of genres and languages, OTT content is breaking boundaries and offering Indian audiences a wide range of choices to enjoy online. In this vast sea of content across platforms like Netflix, JioCinema, JioHotstar, ZEE5, Prime Video, and more, one show stood out in the second half of 2025, emerging as the most-watched original OTT show with over 27 million views. It wasn't Bobby Deol's Aashram, Jitendra Kumar's Panchayat, or even the global hit Squid Game 3. This series captured the attention of viewers nationwide with only one popular actor in the lead. The most viewed original OTT show is Pankaj Tripathi's Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, as per a Top 50 streaming originals in India list. Ormax Media has released its Top 50 streaming originals in India list for the first half of 2025. The ranking includes only original content that was released directly on streaming platforms, excluding licensed or dubbed titles. The viewership figures represent the number of unique individuals who watched at least one full episode of a series or a minimum of 30 minutes of a film on any streaming platform. Notably, the numbers reflect actual viewers, not the number of OTT accounts used, with each viewer counted only once, regardless of how many times they watched the particular show or episode. Topping the list is Pankaj Tripathi's Criminal Justice, Season 4 on JioHotstar, which attracted a massive 27.7 million viewers. The show returned with its new season, bringing back Pankaj Tripathi as lawyer Madhav Mishra. It also starred Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Surveen Chawla, Khushboo Atre and Asha Negi. The first three episodes of Criminal Justice Season 4 were released on May 29, 2025. After the initial release, new episodes were released weekly. The show received a positive response from the critics and viewers. Taking the no 1 spot, Criminal Justice Season 4 surpassed hit shows, including Bobby Deol's Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 Part 2, which took the second place with 27.1 million viewers. Coming in third is Jitendra Kumar's much-anticipated Panchayat Season 4 on Amazon Prime Video, with a total viewership of 23.8 million. Following the top three, Jaideep Ahlawat's Paatal Lok on Amazon Prime Video bagged the fourth spot with 16.8 million viewers. In fifth place arrived the finale season of the Korean global sensation, Squid Game Season 3, drawing 16.5 million viewers.

Bobby Deol Sends His Best Wishes To Ahaan Panday For Saiyaara
Ahaan Panday, who is making his debut with Saiyaara, thanked Bobby Deol for his support. Bobby Deol is the latest celebrity to have joined the bandwagon of giving a shoutout to Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda for their romantic saga, Saiyaara. He also sent his best wishes to the debutants. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced under the YRF banner, the film will follow the passionate love story of a young couple. Days before its theatrical release on July 18, the makers dropped its official trailer, which reminded the audience of Aashiqui 2 and Rockstar. Taking to his Instagram stories, Bobby Deol shared an appreciation post for Ahaan. He posted Saiyaara's trailer link and wrote, 'Beta Ahaan Panday, so proud of you! Wishing you and the entire team of Saiyaara all the very best." Ahaan reshared the story on his account, thanking the Aashram actor for his support. He wrote, 'This means so much. Thank you for supporting us." The trailer of Saiyaara, which was released on Tuesday, July 8, opens with Ahaan Panday's character putting up a strong fight, challenging what many today call 'nepotism'. It then introduces the female lead, played by Aneet Padda. The trailer then transports viewers into a world of love, giving a brief hint of the character arcs of the two leads, and ultimately ends in heartbreak. The 2-minute 44-second-long trailer introduces Ahaan as the macho newcomer building his career in music, while Aneet plays an innocent songwriter. Saiyaara brings together Yash Raj Films and Mohit Suri for the first time. Besides its gripping storyline, the film's entire soundtrack, featuring chart-topping songs like Faheem-Arslan's Saiyaara title track, Jubin Nautiyal's Barbaad, Vishal Mishra's Tum Ho Toh, Sachet-Parampara's Humsafar, and Arijit Singh and Mithoon's Dhun, has also received much love from the audience. As for what Bobby Deol is up to these days, the 56-year-old actor, who was last seen onscreen in a cameo in Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull 5, has three films in the pipeline. First, he will be seen as the mighty Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, in Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A. M. Jyothi Krishna, the film is set to release on July 24. He has also been roped in for Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's spy action film Alpha. Bobby also has Vijay Thalapathy and Pooja Hegde's Jana Nayagan in the pipeline. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Esha Gupta has left fans gasping for breath. The sultry diva slipped into a racy white gown featuring audacious cutouts and shared a video that's now taking the internet by storm. With her signature confidence and commanding presence, Esha turned up the heat on Instagram and had hearts racing within seconds. In the clip, Esha strikes seductive poses with effortless grace. The gown, sculpted to perfection, hugs her curves in all the right places. The plunging neckline and sharply structured cutouts at the torso showcased her toned body. Adding to the allure, she wrapped herself in a delicate sheer cape embellished with feathers and embroidery, teasing her shoulders and collarbones. With her soft waves curled into a vintage-inspired bob, and bronzed glam makeup, Esha oozes old-Hollywood sex appeal. She maintains a slow, confident gaze toward the camera and, at times, lowers her eyelids in sultry shyness. Fans flooded the comments section with fire and heart emojis, with many calling her the 'queen of hotness." Some even claimed this is her 'best look yet." The sizzling outfit choice comes not long after Esha addressed the long-standing 'sex symbol" label attached to her in the industry. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan recently, Esha clarified, 'In the beginning, I did not stereotype myself; people did it. 'Sex Symbol', 'Hot', what does that even mean? Kamasutra is a symbol of sex, it's not Esha." Esha made her Bollywood debut with Jannat 2 and was last seen in Bobby Deol's Aashram. She's now gearing up for Dhamaal 4, set to hit theatres in Eid 2026, alongside Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh. view comments First Published: July 12, 2025, 02:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Anupria Goenka Gets Real About Shooting Romantic Scenes
Anupria Goenka sheds light on the unspoken challenges of acting in romantic scenes, offering a glimpse into the emotional effort required. Anupria Goenka, known for her compelling performances in projects like Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors, Asur, and Aashram, opens up about a rarely discussed aspect of her craft. In a recent candid conversation, she sheds light on the emotional effort involved in performing intimate and romantic scenes, offering a glimpse into the nuances of her acting process. In an interview with Mirror, Anupria Goenka shares her insights on working with co-stars in intimate scenes, saying, 'It is very important that your co-star and you are on the same page, along with the director. I feel that often male actors are the ones who get a little conscious, and their heroines have to do double the work." Furthermore, Anupria elaborates on the dynamics of on-screen romance, saying, 'When you're romancing for the camera, your male co-star often becomes conscious and fears being judged and misunderstood. It's extremely important to have a beautiful chemistry with them, and genuine on-screen chemistry stems from trust and comfort. When that happens, the audience can feel it." The 38-year-old actress has always been vocal about her opinions. In a previous interview with Siddharth Kannan, Anupria Goenka revealed her audition journey for Salman Khan's blockbuster film Sultan, a role that ultimately went to Anushka Sharma. Anupria shared her experience, saying, 'Maine Sultan ke liye audition kiya tha, main part. Tab voh log naye logo ko dhoond rahe the. Mere kuch 11-12 test hue the… pehle ek audition hua tha, phir doosra audition hua, phir there was a music video test, phir there was a dance test with Vaibhavi (Merchant), and then there were readings with Ali (Abbas Zafar)." She added, 'That one-month process was beautiful. Thankfully mere liye voh poora process ek mahine ka tha. Agar voh 6-7 mahine ya ek saal chalta toh insaan anxiety main hi reh jaata na… Jab tak main Ali se nahi mili, mujhe pata bhi nahi tha ki Sultan ki baat ho rahi hai because YRF main they don't give you the actual script. They give you some other script and they make you audition on that… It was only when I met Ali and he kept referring to 'Mr Khan', then I realised ki this is for Sultan and the main part." Sultan went on to become a massive hit at the box office, with Anushka Sharma's portrayal of a feisty wrestler earning widespread acclaim. First Published:
