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 shows and movies from the Indian streaming space during the week of June 28st, 2021 – July 4th, 2021. The numbers are all estimates based only within India. This list does not include any streaming released from the South.
