Kapil Sharma, a household name in Indian comedy, has faced a surprise dip in global viewership with Season 4 of The Great Indian Kapil Show. The season premiered on Netflix on December 20, 2025, but failed to generate the same excitement as previous seasons.
Global Performance
- The season opener featuring Priyanka Chopra did not enter Netflix’s global top 10 during its release week.
- In week two, the episode featuring the Indian women’s cricket team reached 8th place globally, attracting around 1.7 million views worldwide, with an average watch time of 2 minutes 16 seconds and a total of 3.9 million hours watched.
- Week three, with Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, again missed the global top 10.
India Viewership
Despite underwhelming global numbers, the show remains popular in India:
- Episode 1 (Priyanka Chopra) – 1.5 million viewers
- Episode 2 (Women’s cricket team) – 2.3 million viewers
- Episode 3 (Kartik Aaryan & Ananya Panday) – 2.1 million viewers
According to Ormax Media, while viewership rose modestly after the premiere, overall numbers lag behind previous seasons. The show consistently held 2nd place in Netflix India’s top 10, showing strong domestic appeal despite global struggles.
With only three episodes released, hopes remain that the remaining episodes will recapture the excitement and viewership the show has historically enjoyed.
