The latest TRP report showcases the ever-changing dynamics of the Indian television landscape. The 36th week’s ratings, as determined by BARC India, reveal an intriguing mix of established favorites and unexpected contenders. While some shows have maintained their positions, the comeback of a beloved classic has significantly impacted the standings.
‘Anupamaa’ continues to dominate, firmly holding the number one spot. The ongoing high-stakes drama has resonated with viewers, leading to a surge in the show’s ratings. The biggest surprise, however, was the remarkable second-place finish of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,’ a show that returned after a long absence.
‘Kyunki’s’ ascent to the second position, amidst competition from shows like ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’, is a significant achievement. The return of ‘Tulsi’ has been widely embraced, with the show garnering enough viewership to surpass other popular programs and make a mark in the TRP race.
‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ secures a strong position at number three, with its storylines consistently engaging the audience. Zee TV celebrates a win as ‘Tum Se Tum Tak’ claims the fourth spot. ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ remains in the top 5, but has dropped to fifth place from its previous ranking.
Other shows are also making their mark. ‘Udne Ki Aasha’ has secured sixth place, while ‘Mangal Lakshmi’ is at seventh. ‘Lakshmi Ka Safar’ has made a comeback to the top 10 at eighth. The reality show ‘Bigg Boss 19’ has experienced a surge in ratings, driven by the drama in the house, resulting in a ninth-place finish. ‘Vasudha’ has also established itself in the top 10.
The top 20 serials this week demonstrate the highly competitive nature of the television industry. In terms of channels, Sony Sab continues to lead, followed by Star Plus and Colors. These channels are constantly experimenting to deliver fresh and entertaining content. The audience clearly desires entertainment.
The TRP data emphasizes that viewers are receptive to a diverse range of content, as long as it provides entertainment. The upcoming week will reveal which shows will rise and fall in the rankings.
