In a stunning turn of events, Madhuri Dixit's new JioHotstar show, 'Mrs Deshpande', has taken the top spot in India's viewership charts, leaving Stranger Things Season 5 in its wake. According to Ormax Media, 'Mrs Deshpande' garnered a whopping 4.2 million views from December 22 to 28, surpassing Stranger Things' 3.3 million views in the same period. The victory can be attributed to 'Mrs Deshpande's' head start, as it premiered on December 19 and had a full week to stream, whereas Stranger Things' new episodes were released mid-week. Additionally, 'Mrs Deshpande' benefited from JioHotstar's larger subscriber base. Internationally, however, Stranger Things reigns supreme, racking up an impressive 30 million additional views. 'Mrs Deshpande' is a Hindi-language adaptation of the French thriller 'La Mante', directed by Nagesh Kukunoor and starring Priyanshu Chatterjee and Siddharth Chandekar alongside Madhuri Dixit. The show follows the story of a jailed serial killer who is enlisted by the Mumbai Police to help catch her copycat. While the show received mixed reviews, praise has been heaped upon Madhuri's performance. In contrast, Stranger Things Season 5 has dominated the global charts, with a total of 34.8 million views. The final season, released in three parts, has also cemented its place as Netflix's third-most-watched show ever, with a staggering 140 million views across all seasons. The show's global success is a testament to its enduring popularity, but 'Mrs Deshpande's' achievement in India is a notable milestone in the country's thriving OTT landscape.
