The BARC (Broadcast Audience Research Council) India Ratings for the week are here. Star Plus sustains its leadership as the number one GEC in the urban market. Zee TV and Colors maintain its position in the second and third slot, respectively. While Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs and Kumkum Bhagya are the most watched shows, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai moves up to the third position.
As per data provided by BARC India in the 29th week, Star Plus continues to accumulate more numbers as it achieves 435105 impressions, a rise from last week’s 429222 impressions. Its long running drama Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai starring Mohsin Khan and Shivangi Joshi seems to have become a favourite as it moved ahead in the chart to become the number three show. Mahesh Bhatt helmed Naamkarann and Dance Plus 3 are also raking in numbers for the channel.
Kids singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs continues to be the most watched show again this week followed by Shabir Ahluwalia and Sriti Jha starrer Kumkum Bhagya. These two shows have really got Zee TV back in business as it maintains its position in the second place. Kundali Bhagya, in its second week, sustains its place in the fourth place.
While Colors’ Shakti moves one step up and enters the Top 5 show, Sony Sab’s Taraak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah slumps down to the sixth place.
