Of interest are the following statements from the company itself.

Indian streamer ALTBalaji has revealed a focus on the burgeoning Indian youth market and a bulging slate....

ALTBalaji is also known for its racy content, especially “Gandii Baat,” renowned for its frank depiction of sexuality, which began on 2018 and which has now completed six seasons.

“The compelling storytelling will continue and whatever is of the interest of the youth and what impacts their lives and their interests,” says Khan. “Some of it, people will say, ‘Okay, this is very racy.’ If the youth move on to something new as they evolve, and then the new lot comes in and society evolves, generations move on – we want to be at the right trajectory… we want to catch them young, see what their interests are, and deliver content which is of their interests.”

Meanwhile, a major investor in Balaji Telefilms is billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries, which acquired a 24.9% stake in 2017.

Not sure I understand the stance taken by conservative pro-culture and morality police, which includes some very vocal hosts. They critique other actors, their scenes and even finger pointed parents of a child who imitated a scene/dialog from a recent film and s..t shamed a popular actress for her recently released film ...wanting to sensor and even ban some media in the nation as too bold, when their own format is to target the youth with their offering of raw depiction of sexuality.

I do not care what they show or who watches, I believe in freedom of choice. BUT how does the morality-pro cultural values police justify the wide criterium for what I do is always ok, what you do I want to censor....

That is huge. The audience is the king. Congratulations Kangana and Ekta.

Poor rangu seems to have worked overtime in those 15 hours☹😭

Kr will be hit irrespective of movie , show hit r flop 😆

Alt shows come on zee5 also i guess or in Jio app. That's why views are more. Otherwise just based on alt subscriptions this no. of views is not possible...

But indeed that is a huge number. 🤓

Isn't it streaming free on ALT B & MX player? That's what I heard.

The show is very much like early bigg boss seasons which I liked, kangana was a little shaky and nervous in the premiere episode but hopefully, she will get better and make this an annual gig for her. Also, the promos were clearly misleading, show even censors gaalis let alone show anything real bold lol. It also streams on MX player where the live feed yesterday had 560K viewers. They do somehow need to improve tasks and bring few wildcard contestants to make the show more aggressive in my opinion
