The Suresh Triveni-directed and Vikram Malhotra-produced films become the only Original Films to make it to Ormax Media’s List of Top 10 Most-Watched OTT Films (Hindi) for Jan – June 2026.
In a befitting acknowledgement of their success, Subedaar and Maa Behen have been named among Ormax Media’s list of the Ten Most-Watched Hindi Films on OTT platforms in India for the first half of 2026, becoming the only two original OTT releases to feature on a list that is otherwise entirely composed of films that arrived on streaming after their theatrical run.
While franchise films and established intellectual property continued to dominate in audience preferences for the first six months of the year, the performance of Subedaar and Maa Behen clearly shows there remains significant room for original stories to break through and command mainstream viewership.
What makes this achievement remarkable is that both films were directed by Suresh Triveni, whose amazing display of storytelling range delivered the intense action drama, Subedaar, and the hilarious crime-comedy-with-a-message, Maa Behen. Vikram Malhotra backed both these winners as the Producer – partnering with Suresh, Opening Image and Anil Kapoor Film & Communication Network for Subedaar and again with Suresh for Maa Behen.
The reach of the two films extended well beyond India. Subedaar became the most-watched Indian Amazon Original film in its opening weekend and trended in the platform’s Top 10 list across 31 countries, while Maa Behen ranked #2 globally among non-English films on Netflix and trended in 15 countries, a result that underlines the viewership and love both films received globally.
This latest achievement builds on Abundantia Entertainment’s strong track record of backing bold, character-driven stories that place distinctive voices and strong narratives at the centre, a philosophy reflected in earlier titles such as Shakuntala Devi, Sherni, Jalsa (also directed by Suresh Triveni), Airlift, Toilet – Ek Prem Katha and the Chhorii franchise.
