MUMBAI: A YouTube channel seems to be creating wonders with kids rhymes, and it is getting wonderful views and reviews and clicks! ChuChu TV, an Indian YouTube channel for kids, gives a positive spin to original nursery rhymes.
One of the most popular edutainment channels worldwide, ChuChu TV, in its fourth year, has received 10 million subscribers with just 154 videos, making it the fastest-ever growing YouTube channel in the family entertainment and pre-school education space. This incredible milestone which reiterates ChuChu TV’s remarkable success was achieved on 17 June, 2017.
Indiantelevision.com had reported in May 2017 that T-Series stayed put in its #1 spot on the top of the charts for the 11th week in a series. One of the India’s largest music labels and movie studio’s destination on YouTube popped up 26% to close out the week with more than 321.3 million views. Way far behind in the second place was Ryan Toys Review. The aging toddler saw his channel go up 4% in its week-over-week view count to top out at nearly 214.8 million views, TubeFilter had reported. In the fifth position was SET India. The YouTube home of Sony Entertainment (India) jumped up 19% to end the week with almost 183.1 million views.

We have always believed in quality and positive messaging and this landmark is a thumbs-up from our audience and care-givers. It inspires us to create iconic content, introduce consumer products and basically do more of everything that delights and educates our audiences across the world.”
ChuChu TV is the fourth largest YouTube channel in India with its online audience larger than that of All-India Bakchod (AIB), Viral Fever Videos or Comedy Nights, Colors TV and Star Plus. The channels more popular with a larger subscriber-base than ChuChu TV are — T-Series, Sony and ZeeTV.

Samay Raina returns with Still Alive, confronts 2025 controversy in bold comeback special
Comeback set tackles controversy, blending humour with raw storytelling
MUMBAI: Samay Raina is set to release his new stand-up comedy special, Still Alive, on YouTube on April 7, 2026, marking a high-profile return following a turbulent year.
The trailer for the special dropped on April 5, offering a glimpse into what Raina describes as a raw and unfiltered set that leans as much on honesty as it does on humour.
Positioned as a comeback of sorts, Still Alive draws heavily from the controversy surrounding his show India’s Got Latent in early 2025. The episode led to legal trouble, multiple FIRs, and a lengthy six-hour interrogation by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, placing the comedian at the centre of intense public scrutiny.
Rather than sidestep the episode, Raina leans into it. The special reflects on the fallout and his personal journey through it, blending observational comedy with moments of emotional candour. Early audience feedback from live performances suggests the tone is less about rapid-fire punchlines and more about storytelling with bite.
The special was filmed during his global Still Alive & Unfiltered tour, which ran from August 2025 to early 2026. The tour saw Raina perform across major international venues, including the Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York, a milestone that places him among the youngest Indian comedians to take that stage.
The title itself signals resilience. “Still Alive” is a nod to navigating both legal and public backlash while choosing to remain unapologetically authentic, a theme that appears to anchor the set.
With the special set to premiere online, all eyes are now on how audiences respond to a performance that promises equal parts reflection and wit. For Raina, the message is clear. He is not just back, he is ready to be heard on his own terms.
