Note: Ormax Media's viewership methodology includes the number of people who watched the show (at least one full episode) or film (at least 30 mins.). It does not represent the number of accounts used for watching the show/ film, e.g., three members of a family, or two friends, watching on the same account is considered as a unique audience (3 & 2 respectively, in these examples). It has considered only the Indian market and an unduplicated audience, i.e., even if an audience member watches episodes spread over multiple weeks, they are still counted only once.
