Most Watched Indian OTT Shows This Week — 3 to 9 August 2026

Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 added two million viewers in a week and took the top spot off India's Got Latent, which lost more than half its audience. Ormax StreamView's numbers for the week of 3 to 9 August.

The unscripted end of Indian streaming reordered itself this week. Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, which entered the chart at sixth place a week earlier, went to number one on 5.8 million viewers — an increase of two million in seven days. India's Got Latent Season 2, which had led the chart with 8.6 million, fell to fifth on 3.7 million.

Both moves are the same story from opposite ends: a weekly reality format building an audience as its season runs, and a shock-format show shedding the audience that arrived for its premiere. Nothing scripted appears in this week's top five at all.

These are Ormax Media's estimates, not ours. Ormax StreamView is weekly primary research across a panel of more than 3,000 respondents in India, and it counts a person who watched at least thirty minutes of a title during the week, once, however many episodes they got through. OTTweek does not measure viewership and does not estimate it.

    Rohit Shetty's fifteenth season is the week's biggest property on Indian streaming, and the only title in the top five that grew. It entered the chart at 3.8 million in the week of 27 July and reached 5.8 million in the week of 3 August — the pattern a weekly stunt format is built for, where the audience accumulates as contestants are eliminated rather than arriving all at once. On JioHotstar.

    The chart's fixed point. A daily comedy that has been running since 2008 sits in the top three of a weekly streaming ranking without a premiere, a season launch or a marketing beat behind it, purely on the volume of episodes available and the habit of watching them. Down half a million on the previous week, which for this show is noise rather than a trend. On SonyLIV.

    The highest-placed scripted title of the week, and it is holding better than the unscripted shows around it — 4.8 million to 4.3 million is a shallower fall than anything else on this list bar the daily soap. Netflix.

    Flat, at exactly the number it did the week before. A captivity format with a fixed cast and a weekly eviction has a floor made of the people already invested in it, and this is what that floor looks like. Netflix.

    Previous week8.6 million

    The steepest fall on the chart: 8.6 million to 3.7 million, a loss of 57% in a week, and a drop from first place to fifth. It remains the most-watched property of the first half of 2026 by a distance, at 38.5 million viewers across January to June on Ormax's mid-year count, which is the useful context for a weekly number this far below it — the audience that made it the year's biggest show has largely already watched. Netflix.

The whole of this week's top five is a single genre argument. Four of the five are unscripted, the one scripted title in it is third, and the year's biggest scripted originals do not appear at all. That is the shape the first half of 2026 had too, and it has not moved.

For where these shows sit across the year rather than the week, there is the Jan-June viewership list, the most-watched web series of 2026 and the TV and reality chart.

Frequently asked

What is the most watched show on Indian OTT right now?
Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 on JioHotstar, with 5.8 million viewers in the week of 3 to 9 August 2026, per Ormax Media's StreamView estimates.
Why did India's Got Latent fall from first to fifth?
Its weekly audience fell from 8.6 million to 3.7 million. Ormax counts each viewer once per week, so a show whose audience largely watched at launch records a smaller number in later weeks even if its total reach for the year stays the largest on Indian streaming, which at 38.5 million viewers for January to June it is.
Does this list cover the full Ormax top 10?
No. The report we have quotes the top five places for the week of 3 to 9 August 2026. We list what is published rather than estimating the rest.
