‘Squid Game’ Season 3 Top International Title as JioHotstar’s ‘Criminal Justice’ Leads Ormax India Streaming Chart
Netflix’s Squid Game Season 3 was the most-watched international show in India during the first half of 2025, pulling in 16.5 million viewers and landing at No. 5 overall. But the real winner was JioHotstar’s homegrown legal drama Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, which snagged the top spot on Ormax Media’s streaming chart.
Editor’s Note: It’s a split-screen moment for streaming in India—global hits like Squid Game still draw massive crowds, but local content (Criminal Justice) is dominating. This isn’t just about what people are watching; it’s a sign of how platforms are balancing global appeal with homegrown storytelling to win over audiences. For Netflix, staying relevant means competing with regional heavyweights, while Indian streamers are proving they can outshine even the biggest international names.
