Mumbai, July 30, 2026: Prime Video's latest Original comedy-drama, Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya, has achieved a significant global milestone by emerging as the No. 1 Non-English Series Worldwide shortly after its premiere on July 24. Within just four days of its release, the series entered the global Top 10 rankings while attracting viewers from 87% of India's PIN codes, making it Prime Video India's biggest Original series debut in the last two years.
Directed by Himank Gaur and created and executive produced by Biswapati Sarkar and Sameer Saxena under the banner of Posham Pa Pictures, the seven-episode family comedy-drama has resonated with audiences through its blend of humour, emotion and relatable storytelling.
Commenting on the success, Nikhil Madhok, Director & Head of Originals, Prime Video India, said:
"At Prime Video, we remain committed to backing stories that reflect the rich diversity of India while remaining universally relatable. The success of Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya is a powerful reaffirmation of that vision. Our local Originals continue to build fandom and resonate with audiences both in India and around the world, underscoring the universal appeal of authentic storytelling."
