BARC Indian Ratings: Week 20 (2017); Kumkum Bhagya, Yeh Rishta big win; Naagin 2 drops to #3

Looks like viewers have warmed up to Star Plus’ new avtar and is in sync with the channel’s ‘Rishta Wahi, Soch Nayi’ tagline. Post the revamp the channel has managed as much as 443 GRPs in its kitty. The channel has 61% more points that its closest competitor Colors. Colors recorded 276 GRPs followed by Zee with 231 points.

Looks like TV producers want to pull out all stops when it comes to keeping their shows on top of viewers’ minds. Star Plus’ top-rated show <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/ghar-se-nikal-jao-akshara-s-laws-tell-her-soon>Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai</a>, will go all silent on January 8. We have been used to the opulence of the sets and the grand treatment meted out to the characters of the show, but in this special episode there will be no dialogues. Protagonist Akshara who is held responsible for the Mohit-Nandini relationship, will express her pain and grief through silence.
