The Legend of Hanuman Breaks Through as Only Animated Title in Ormax 2025 Streaming Originals

Mumbai, Jan 28: In a landmark achievement for Indian animation, The Legend of Hanuman – Season 6, produced by Graphic India, has secured the #11 spot in Ormax Media’s Top 50 Streaming Originals in India: The 2025 Story. It is the only animated series to feature on the list, a rare distinction in a landscape typically dominated by live-action crime dramas, thrillers, and reality content.

With an estimated 16.2 million viewers, Season 6 ranks alongside some of the year’s biggest streaming titles, including Special Ops S2, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, The Family Man S3, Panchayat S4, Paatal Lok S2, and global sensations like Squid Game S3 and Stranger Things S5, underscoring its massive appeal in a highly competitive entertainment landscape.

Ormax Media’s annual rankings are based on independent nationwide research measuring actual viewership, making this recognition one of the most credible performance benchmarks in India’s OTT ecosystem.

Produced by Graphic India and created by Sharad Devarajan, Jeevan J. Kang, and Charuvi P. Singhal, The Legend of Hanuman has consistently set new benchmarks for Indian animation. Earlier seasons regularly topped Ormax Media’s weekly charts, with Season 1 holding the #1 spot for three consecutive weeks—a rare feat for an animated show in India. Season 6’s inclusion in the Top 50 reinforces the franchise’s sustained scale and repeat engagement, highlighting its status as one of the most-watched streaming originals of 2025.

The series continues to be a flagship title on Jio Hotstar and reaches audiences across India in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Malayalam, and Kannada. It also enjoys critical acclaim, with a 4.9 Google audience score and a 9.2 IMDb rating, reflecting both popularity and quality.

Sharad Devarajan, Creator, Co-Writer, and Producer of The Legend of Hanuman, said:

“This milestone is incredibly meaningful for everyone who has believed in the power of Indian stories told through world-class animation. Our goal has always been to present mythology with emotional depth, cinematic scale, and visual ambition that resonates across generations. Season 6’s success, as the only animated title on the list, signals a real shift in audience perception—animation is no longer a niche or children-only medium, but a powerful storytelling format embraced by all.”

Being the sole animated title in Ormax Media’s Top 50 underscores a larger industry shift. Indian audiences are increasingly open to diverse formats and rooted narratives produced with global standards, making Season 6 not just a franchise milestone, but a breakthrough for the Indian animation sector as a whole.

For Graphic India, this recognition reaffirms its leadership in creating original animated IP that achieves scale, cultural impact, and mainstream success in the streaming era
