This was followed by Netflix (29.60%), Hotstar (18.07%) and ZEE5 (5.33%) respectively.

Continuing to regale audiences with a diverse content library that caters to as many as 200 countries around the world, shows and movies streaming on Amazon Prime Video topped the most-watched charts according to the report.
