Inspector Rishi becomes the most-watched Tamil original series on Prime Video India
Mumbai: Following its worldwide premiere, Inspector Rishi has scripted a milestone by becoming the most-watched Tamil original series on Prime Video India. With its gripping narrative, larger-than-life visuals, and excellent performances, the horror crime drama showcases the gripping story of a skeptical police inspector, Rishi Nandan, whose steadfast convictions are challenged when he investigates a series of peculiar murders entwined with supernatural occurrences.
As Inspector Rishi navigates through this mind-bending case replete with horror and suspense, he confronts formidable obstacles, both in unraveling the mysteries shrouding the crime and grappling with his own inner turmoil. Rishi is tasked with the challenge of uncovering the secrets of the forest and finding out the truth behind these inexplicable events. With the help of two sub-inspectors, the trio not only navigates through challenges in their personal lives but also battles supernatural forces at play, which test their resolve and abilities to the limit.
The series received rave reviews from critics and immense appreciation from viewers worldwide. The audiences were hooked to this exhilarating experience which sent chills down their spine and kept them at the edge of their seats. This well-mounted, superbly crafted show makes all kinds of right noises amongst the global audience for having a story that is locally rooted in a small village of Tamil Nadu but had a greater mass appeal. Inspector Rishi is streaming on Prime Video in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.

Prime Video and Hrithik Roshan reunite for quirky heist comedy Mess
HRX Films expands pact with quirky heist comedy set for production
MUMBAI: Prime Video is doubling down on its partnership with Hrithik Roshan, announcing a new comedy film Mess that promises chaos, chuckles and a clever twist on the classic heist.
Produced by Hrithik Roshan and Eshaan Roshan under HRX Films, a division of FilmKraft Productions, the film is being made in association with Soda Films Lab. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, Mess marks the second collaboration between the streaming platform and HRX Films after the upcoming thriller Storm.
At the heart of Mess lies an unusual premise. A group of robbers break into the home of a man with OCD, only to find themselves outmatched in a night-long standoff that flips the script on who is really in control. It is a set-up that blends tension with humour, turning a break-in into a breakdown of expectations.
Prime Video India director and head of originals Nikhil Madhok said, “A good story should surprise and entertain, and Mess does both with ease. It brings together a unique premise, memorable characters and a tone that keeps you laughing throughout.”
He added that the collaboration with HRX Films continues to grow stronger, with the new film reflecting a shared appetite for bold and original storytelling.
Hrithik Roshan said, “After Storm, Mess feels like a natural next step in our journey with Prime Video. The film captures the kind of unconventional storytelling we want to champion, with Rajesh bringing a distinctive voice to the narrative.”
Director Rajesh A Krishnan said, “The world of Mess is a mix of comedy and chaos, unusual enough to keep audiences on edge while still delivering humour. It has been a deeply collaborative and creatively fulfilling experience.”
The original screenplay comes from Paul Soter, with adaptation and dialogues by Kapil Sawant, adding another layer of craft to the film’s offbeat narrative.
As production gears up, Mess looks ready to live up to its name, serving up a delightful tangle of mayhem, mischief and movie magic for audiences in India and beyond.
