Alt Balaji’s Lock Upp is a humongous success benchmark for any streaming platform. Surprisingly, you can stream it for free and enjoy the drama that goes within. Regardless, Indian TV reality shows are infamous for melodrama and unnecessary toxicity which comes bundled with the showcase of poverty and many such lowly things.
Thankfully, Alt Balaji’s Lock Upp is way ahead of such sub-standard practices and is indeed a reflection of how a reality show should be. All it focuses on is the truth of contestants and making the show more and more entertaining. That’s a big factor why the audience is showering it with so much love and views.
This indeed is a lesson for other reality show makers that no matter what, the audience is too fed-up with toxic melodrama and they do not want them anyways. Alt Balaji understood the audience’s demand and the result is clearly visible in the viewing stats of Lock Upp.
It has successfully crossed 200 million views and that too, weeks back. Perhaps they are targeting 300 million now which yet again is possible, given the content they are serving.
Long story short, this overall concept of Alt Balaji’s Lock Upp is a kind of fresh air when most other reality shows were stinking of cringe.
