Banijay Asia Scores Big as Raakh Claims the No. 3 Spot on IMDb’s Top 10 Indian Series of 2026
From a debut in fiction to streaming dominance, Banijay Asia’s crime thriller Raakh cements its mark as one of the year’s finest hits on IMDb’s Top 10 Indian Series of 2026.
Banijay Asia made its entry into scripted fiction entertainment, and to put it simply, they absolutely killed it. Stepping into the drama space with full force, the production house delivered Raakh, a crime thriller that gripped audiences from the very first minute. Directed by Prosit Roy alongside creators Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, and produced by Deepak Dhar, Rishi Negi, Mrinalini Jain, and Shyam Rathi under the banner of Endemol Shine India (a Banijay Asia company), the show released on Amazon Prime Video on June 12, 2026. Featuring powerhouse performances by Ali Fazal, Sonali Bendre, and Aamir Bashir, Raakh blew past viewer expectations with its tense storytelling, raw emotion, and atmospheric direction, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about Hindi shows of the year.
That viewer love has now translated into a massive milestone. In IMDb’s recently released report highlighting the Top 10 Most Popular Indian Series year-by-year from 2016 to 2026, Raakh has secured the #3 spot for 2026. Ranking right near the top of IMDb’s global fan-favorite chart proves just how the series resonated with audiences across India and beyond.
Inspired by real-life historical events, Raakh took viewers on a journey through a police investigation. Audiences and critics alike praised the series for its brilliant writing, haunting background score, and career-defining performances from Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre. For Banijay Asia, hitting the top 3 on IMDb in their very first run with a fiction series is proof of their vision, high production standards, and ability to tell stories that truly connect with people.
As Raakh continues to gather love on OTT, this IMDb achievement marks a victory for Banijay Asia, setting a benchmark for what’s to come next as they continue to redefine Indian content on the world map.
