Madhuri Dixit Nene has proven once more that her stardom is timeless. Her latest crime thriller, Mrs Deshpande, has officially carved out a spot for itself among the many most-viewed digital properties in India in 2025. The show arrived on JioHotstar on January 19, 2025 and very quickly, it found a spot in the highest 50 most-viewed Streaming Originals Of India in 2025.
Landing on the thirty sixth spot, the show helmed by Nagesh Kukunoor has outperformed several high-octane male-led thrillers and big-budget dramas released this yr. With a final tally of 9.9 million views, Madhuri Dixit’s killer avatar managed to edge past the gritty prison drama Black Warrant, which previously held a lifetime viewership of 9.8 million views.
Mrs Despande OTT Verdict
Mrs Deshpande‘s success can be attributed to Madhuri Dixit breaking her Dhak Dhak girl persona and playing a chilly, calculated character, which gave the series the sting it needed. Nonetheless, the heavy competition and the series not reaching a peak as per the mystery-thriller genre dampened its probabilities of reaching the ten million mark.
Despite its impressive entry into the overall Top 50, the competition amongst female-led narratives remained fierce. While Mrs Deshpande performed well, it ultimately did not break into the Top 3 all-time women-led series, falling just wanting the 10-million milestone required to challenge the leaders.
Take a look at the highest 5 female-led series of 2025.
- Dabba Cartel: 12.8 Million
- Delhi Crime S3: 12.5 Million
- Maharani: 10.6 Million
- Kull: The Legacy: 10.4 Million
- Mrs Deshpande: 9.9 Million
Ending because the thirty sixth most-viewed streaming original in India, Mrs Deshpande solidified Madhuri Dixit as a trusted OTT star, and her upcoming film on Netflix, Maa Behen, is something I’m rooting for. I hope her charm on this OTT innings comes out as a winner!
