1. ‘Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach’ on Hotstar
The ‘Criminal Justice’ franchise has been a smash hit for Disney+ Hotstar and this is the reason why it has gone on for three seasons, with each season, covering a new case. Seasoned actor Pankaj Tripathi essays the role of lawyer Madhav Mishra. For the third season titled 'Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach', the OTT platform opted to release episodes weekly and this is the main reason why the viewership of each episode hit record highs. Swastika Mukherjee and Purab Kohli also portray key roles in the new season of the hit show.
2. ‘Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness’ on Hotstar
Ajay Devgn’s OTT debut proved to be another hit for Disney+ Hotstar and the psychological thriller went on to become one of the most viewed Hindi shows of the year. It is a remake of famous British series ‘Luther’ and also stars Rashi Khanna and Esha Deol in pivotal roles.
3. ‘Panchayat’ season 2 on Amazon Prime Video
The Amazon Prime Video show portrays the struggle of an engineer played by Jitendra Kumar who is trying to adjust to the village life. While the OTT space is loaded with many crime dramas, ‘Panchayat’ season 1 and 2 clearly stand out for its different plot line and feel-good vibe, resulting in its huge popularity. The second season got into more intense issues and the finale made everyone weep.
4. ‘Mai’ on Netflix
This crime thriller is one of the most enjoyable shows of the year and it follows a grieving mother, played excellently by Sakshi Tanwar as she sets on a path to take revenge from those responsible for the demise of her daughter. The first season ended on a cliff hanger, leaving the viewers intrigued for the second season, which has been ordered at Netflix.
5. ‘Rocket Boys’ on Sony Liv
This show starring Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh tells the story of scientists Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai, two men that helped in scripting history for India. The show registered instant success and the second season is scheduled to release soon.
