Bhuvan Bam's Instagram Reels, broken down
Five Reels, just over 63 million views, and four of the five are marketing for a television series.
What this is
Bhuvan Bam has 20,809,883 followers on Instagram, read from the profile on 24 September 2026. He is thirty second on our list of the biggest Instagram accounts belonging to creators rather than celebrities, athletes or brands. Scrptly analysed his five best-performing Reels.
Five Reels. 63,067,056 views between them. Scrptly returns best performers regardless of age, and his best is from September 2024.
Each line is the transcribed audio from the opening seconds. All five open in Hindi, some of it sung or performed rather than spoken, and the lines are left exactly as transcribed.
Four of the five are a marketing campaign
His second, third, fourth and fifth best Reels are all promotion for scripted television: a trailer, a character introduction, a behind the scenes clip and a music release. They were posted between 3 and 26 August 2026 and they did 9,191,417, 7,303,692, 4,705,222 and 4,544,766 views.
This is an account in a different job from most of the ones we have broken down. It is not trying to make a Reel go viral, it is trying to make people watch something else.
And none of them comes near the old one
The Reel at the top, 37,321,959 views, is a recap of a live event from September 2024. It is 59 percent of his five-Reel total on its own, and it is two years older than the other four.
The gap is worth noticing. A crowd of real people reacting to him did almost eight times what the professionally produced trailer did.
These are long
The five run 42, 21, 38, 133 and 95 seconds, so 5 minutes 28 seconds in total. That is by far the longest set we have measured, and two of them are over 90 seconds. The two longest are also the two smallest.
The hooks he uses
| Hook pattern | What it does | From which Reel |
|---|---|---|
| Open on the performance, not the explanation | Spoken word straight into the first frame, at full intensity, with no introduction to the piece or the event. | His best performer, 37.3M views. |
| A line of defiance | A declaration with a stake in it. The viewer wants to know who is being challenged and why. | "आजादी मांगनी नहीं छीननी पड़ेगी।", 4.7M views. |
| A statement about people in general | A philosophical claim invites agreement or argument before the subject has even been introduced. | The character introduction, 4.5M views. |
What you can copy
- Real people reacting beats production value. His crowd recap did almost eight times the views of the series trailer.
- Open at full intensity. Not one of these five warms up, and the two that are longest are the two that perform worst.
- If you are promoting something else, the Reel still has to be worth watching on its own. Four here are worth watching and none of them broke 10 million.
- A line with a stake in it travels. A declaration invites a reaction in a way a description does not.
