Mumbai,
August 04, 2025 : The Legend of Hanuman
continues its extraordinary journey as one of the most beloved and successful
animated series in Indian streaming history. The mythological epic, created by
Sharad Devarajan and produced by Graphic India, has achieved yet another milestone
ranking #6 across all platforms in Ormax’s Top 50 Streaming Originals in India
for January -June 2026.
What makes this
feat truly notable, is that The Legend of Hanuman S6 is the only
animated series to feature in the entire list. Standing tall in the TOP 10
the show shares space with Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, Paatal Lok S2,
Squid Game S3, Panchayat S4 and ranking above titles like The Great Indian
Kapil Show S3, The Royals, Black Warrant amongst high-profile live-action
dramas and mainstream entertainment. The series also ranks as the #2
most-watched show on JioHotstar on the list, solidifying its place as one of
the platform’s top-performing titles of the year.
Season 6 of the
series, which debuted on April 11, 2025, has extended the franchise’s legacy,
emerging as a pan-India phenomenon with strong performance in multiple
languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam and
Kannada.
Since its
debut, The Legend of Hanuman has consistently topped Ormax
Media’s most watched streaming originals charts (debuting at #1 in Ormax’s
weekly OTT rankings) and JioHotstar’s weekly rankings for every one of
its six seasons—making it the first animated series in India to achieve
such a run. Season 5 reaching ~9.4 million viewers in its
release window and Season 6 soaring to ~15.2 million over its first
three weeks—clearly illustrating the series' escalating popularity.
Sharad
Devarajan, Co-Creator, Producer, and Showrunner of The
Legend of Hanuman, shared, "To see The Legend of Hanuman Season 6 rank #6
across all streaming platforms and as the only animated series in the top 50 is
a profound moment for Indian animation. This milestone proves that audiences
across India are embracing animation as a sophisticated storytelling medium,
not just a kids' genre. When we first launched this series, our mission was to
create a transcendent moment for Indian animation that would reshape how audiences
perceive the medium—similar to how countries like Japan and Korea have always
looked at animation as a medium and not a genre. The fact that Season 6 reached
15.2 million viewers and is standing alongside live-action giants like Criminal
Justice, Panchayat and Paatal Lok, means that we've
successfully moved animation from the margins to the mainstream. Hanuman's
timeless story of courage, devotion, and inner strength continues to inspire
billions, and through high-quality animation, we try to do justice to the
visual grandeur and spiritual complexity that his mythic heroism deserves. This
success belongs to the millions of fans who believed in our vision from day one
and proves that India is ready for a golden age of animated storytelling.”
Season 6 is once
again directed by Jeevan J. Kang and Navin John. Daman Baggan is back as
Hanuman in the vocal cast, and Sharad Kelkar provides his epic voice acting for
Ravan. With its amazing graphics, moving soundtrack, and intensely emotional
narrative, the show keeps pushing the limits of storytelling.
