So grab that popcorn bucket, make space on the couch, and let’s explore the top shows on JioHotstar you’ll love watching as a family.
The Mandalorian (13+)
If your family loves a good adventure, The Mandalorian is a must. Even if you’re not a die-hard Star Wars fan, Baby Yoda (Grogu) will steal your heart. It’s action-packed but still family-friendly enough for older kids and parents to enjoy together.
Modern Family (13+)
Few shows capture the fun and chaos of family life like Modern Family. Every episode is filled with hilarious moments, relatable parenting struggles, and warm family bonds. It’s lighthearted, so you can watch a few episodes back-to-back without getting bored.
Sarabhai vs Sarabhai (13+)
This classic Indian sitcom is perfect for older kids and adults. The quirky Sarabhai family’s hilarious everyday drama is just the right mix of comedy and sarcasm. Even after all these years, it never gets old.
The Legend of Hanuman (13+)
This beautifully animated series brings mythology to life in a modern way. It tells the story of Hanuman’s bravery and devotion, but with high-quality visuals and storytelling that even adults will enjoy. It’s one of those rare shows where kids learn, and parents stay hooked.
The Office (13+)
This mock workplace comedy is goofy, lighthearted, and full of lovable characters. Teens will enjoy the awkward humor, and parents can’t help but relate to the daily office chaos. Short episodes make it easy to binge, and it’s the kind of show that makes everyone laugh out loud.
Aarya (16+)
For families with older kids, this drama starring Sushmita Sen is a must-watch. It follows a mother who is forced into the dangerous world of crime to protect her family. It’s gripping, emotional, and shows a strong parent-child bond. Definitely more for teens and parents than kids.
Special Ops (16+)
If your family loves thrillers, this is the one. A spy series full of twists, action, and suspense. Parents will get hooked on the clever storyline, while older kids will love the high-stakes drama. Not for very young children, but a great pick for families with teens.
Ishq Interrupted (16+)
A quirky dating show with a twist—dates interrupted by funny tasks and surprises, hosted by Kullesh (Kullu). Silly, lively, and engaging for teens and adults alike.
Criminal Justice: A Family Matter (16+)
A courtroom drama that became the most-watched streaming original in India during the first half of 2025, with 27.7 million viewers. A gripping emotional ride about secrets, justice, and family ties. Great for older teens and parents.
