Last year, Facebook conducted a very interesting study on the relation between TV watching and consumption of videos online. They found that 62% of respondents between 13-24 years of age would rather give up watching TV compared to their mobile phones.
With more than a billion Youtube users in India; and approximately 4-5 billion video views per day on this platform; Internet is gradually overtaking TV as the preferred medium to watch moving images. On the other hand, Facebook has swiftly emerged as the most powerful competitor of Youtube as it witnessed 8 billion video views per day, which actually doubled since April, 2015 (it was 4 billion then).
What exactly are people watching online? Which videos generated maximum views? Just like last year, we are back again with a list of the most watched videos in India. For better sorting, we have divided the list into two categories: Short movies/Serial niche and Songs niche.
Considering that short movies and serial are longer, takes more time to prepare and have deeper meaning and relevance, we thought it was fair enough for creating a separate list for the same.
Without much ado, here are the top video list for 2015:
