In a remarkable first half of the year, Applause Entertainment, a venture of the Aditya Birla Group, has delivered three of 2025’s most talked-about and widely watched shows across India’s leading OTT platforms. Black Warrant on Netflix, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter on JioHotstar, and The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case on Sony LIV have not only dominated streaming charts but also emerged as fan favourites and garnered critical acclaim.

Each of these series sparked widespread discussion and trended across platforms, reinforcing Applause’s reputation as a creative force that thrives on bold ideas, socially resonant themes, and genre-defining storytelling.
As the studio completes its 8th year this August, with a prolific slate of over 55+ titles across genres and formats, Applause Entertainment stands as a testament to the power of teamwork and long-term creative vision. From Scam 1992 and Criminal Justice to Tanaav and Black Warrant, among others, the studio has built a dynamic and diverse storytelling ecosystem, one that continues to set benchmarks and reimagine what premium Indian content can look like.
Reflecting on the studio’s recent successes, Sameer Nair, Managing Director, Applause Entertainment, “At Applause, our job is to keep telling stories – ambitious, audacious, disruptive, and rooted in their imagined reality. The medium may change, but strong storytelling always finds its way to audiences. Black Warrant with Vikramaditya Motwane, Criminal Justice with Rohan Sippy, and The Hunt with Nagesh Kukunoor, each tackles very different worlds, yet they’ve all struck a chord. That’s the thrill of this game; not just chasing hits but working with diverse creators to build a body of work that entertains audiences and creates memories. For us, it’s about staying curious, taking creative risks, and constantly raising the bar.”
Applause Entertainment continues to evolve, with an exciting pipeline that includes new series, subsequent seasons, movies, documentaries, and a passion project, Gandhi, with Hansal Mehta. From creating landmark IPs and powerful franchises to expanding the talent ecosystem, the studio strives to remain at the forefront of India’s streaming revolution, building a legacy of storytelling that is fearless, relevant, and timeless.
