Vijay Varma has done it again! The actor, who has become a darling of the OTT world, has achieved a strong opening viewership with his latest outing, Matka King. The show, despite mixed reviews, has translated its buzz into good viewership numbers in the first week, marking a major win for Prime Video.
Vijay Varma’s gritty drama managed to surpass the debut numbers of all the non-Netflix shows that have arrived to date in 2026, except for Chiraiyaa starring Divya Dutta. While it narrowly missed the top spot, which is currently held by Chiraiyaa, it settled for the second spot, pushing Nana Patekar’s Sankalp & Saqib Saleem’s Kaptaan at number 3.

The Matka King, in its debut week, garnered a viewership of 3.4 million, taking the top spot in the list of the most-watched web series streaming in India for the week of April 13 – 19, 2025, as per Ormax data. It would be interesting to see if the show witnesses a jump next week.
