What to Watch on SonyLIV in 2026: Best Web Series and Shows

If you judge a streaming service by the strength of its originals, SonyLIV punches far above its subscriber count. It is the home of some of the most acclaimed Indian web series ever made, the kind of prestige drama that wins awards and gets quoted for years. It is underrated next to the bigger names, and that is exactly why it is worth a closer look.

Here is a starting list of what is genuinely worth watching on SonyLIV, plus an honest note on how to confirm what is actually streaming for you, since availability shifts by country and over time.

Best SonyLIV web series

• Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, the stockbroker rise-and-fall saga that became a phenomenon and is regularly called one of the best Indian shows ever. If you watch one thing on SonyLIV, watch this.
• Rocket Boys, a sweeping, beautifully made drama about the scientists who built modern India's space and nuclear programs. Prestige television in every frame.
• Maharani, a sharp political drama about an unschooled woman thrust into the chief minister's chair, anchored by a superb lead performance.
• Gullak, a warm, funny, slice-of-life series about a middle-class family. Short episodes, big heart, endlessly rewatchable.
• Undekhi, a tense crime thriller that built a loyal following across its seasons.
• Tabbar, a gripping family-crime drama that quietly became a critical favorite.

Beyond originals: movies, sport, and Korean drama

SonyLIV is not only web series. It carries a deep film library, Sony's television catalogue, live sport, and a surprisingly strong selection of Korean dramas and international shows for the Indian market. For a single subscription, the range is wider than most people expect.

The catch is the usual one, and it is the exact problem OTTASIA exists to solve: which specific film or show is on SonyLIV versus another service changes over time and differs by country. A list that hardcodes availability is right today and stale in months. So check the live answer. Search any title on OTTASIA and it tells you whether SonyLIV (or another service) has it in your exact country, updated daily, with a one-tap link.

Is SonyLIV worth it?

For the originals alone, SonyLIV is one of the best value subscriptions in India. Scam 1992 and Rocket Boys would justify a month on their own. The smarter question, as always, is not whether a service is good but which single service has the specific thing you want to watch tonight, because no one subscription carries everything.

I built OTTASIA because finding where a title actually streams in your country, across SonyLIV, Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5 and the rest, is harder than it should be. It is free, no ads, no signup needed to search. With it you can:

Closing

SonyLIV is the quiet heavyweight of Indian streaming, carried by a run of originals most services would kill for. Start with Scam 1992, then use OTTASIA to line up the rest, in your country, without the app-hopping.

OTTASIA is a free, independent project. Built solo, no venture capital, no ads, no data harvesting. If this helped, share it with one friend who still has not watched Scam 1992.
