MX Player delivers yet another 1st on OTT: Ek Badnaam…Aashram 3 gets 100MN views in 32 hours!

Ek Badnaam…Aashram 3, an MX Original Series, produced and directed by Prakash Jha is already breaking records. The series has been a success since the release of its first season. While audiences greatly appreciated the first two seasons, making it probably the most viewed series on Indian OTT, the recently launched season, Ek Badnaam…Aashram 3, has also very quickly and successfully entered the 100MN viewership club within 32 hours of its release.

The series seems to be setting newer benchmarks with every passing season. The first two seasons of Aashram have received a total viewership of around 160MN unique users. Also, within six hours of the trailer release of season 3, the show was trending at number 1 on YouTube across India. The storyline and the characters are all the talk of the town since its release on June 3.

Aashram is a show that highlights the life of a megalomanic, Baba Nirala. In this season, Kashipur Waale Baba Nirala has become fearless and, his lust for power has been accentuated, making him unstoppable. He believes to be above all and thinks he's God. The power of Aashram is at its peak. This ‘Badnaam’ Aashram continues to exploit women, and indulge in drugs and illegal activities to gain power and position in society. On the other hand, Pammi is having sleepless nights to seek revenge from Bhagwaan Nirala.
