Three Indian Originals Feature in Prime Video's Global Top 10

Indian storytelling continues to gain significant traction on the global stage, as evidenced by Prime Video's recently released first-ever global weekly rankings. During the week of May 25 to 31, three Indian originals secured positions in the platform's most-watched films and series category.

Leading the pack is the film "System," which achieved the remarkable feat of claiming the second spot on Prime Video’s top ten films worldwide. Additionally, it has topped the non-English film chart globally, marking a significant milestone for Indian content in the international streaming arena.

Following closely, the series "Matka King" and "Exam" have also made their mark, ranking seventh and eighth respectively among non-English original series worldwide. This development highlights India's growing influence and competitiveness in the global entertainment market.

These three titles are now listed alongside some of Prime Video's most popular international properties such as "Off Campus," "Spider-Noir," "The Boys," "Citadel," and "Jack Ryan: Ghost War." Their presence in this elite company underscores the remarkable journey of Indian stories beyond regional confines.

The surge of Indian content on a global platform like Prime Video reflects the streaming service's aggressive expansion into original programming in India. This has resulted in successful titles including "Paatal Lok," "Mirzapur," "The Family Man," "Farzi," and "Citadel: Honey Bunny," which have already established a strong global viewership.

The debut of these weekly rankings suggests a substantial and scalable output of content that resonates not only with Indian audiences but also with a broader international viewer base. For filmmakers, writers, and directors in India, this trend delivers a clear message: well-crafted local narratives can appeal to a worldwide audience.

For competing streaming services, the indications are equally significant. India is emerging not just as a market to access but as a robust hub of content creation capturing the interest of viewers around the globe.
