It's high '5' for the KBC opening episode!

It went on air only last night and news is the fourth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati got an overwhelming response from the aam janta, which remained the sole aim of the channel and the production house. According to the aMap data, the first episode fetched a rating of 5, which is equal to what 3 Idiots got for the channel when it was screened on July 25. The movie too garnered an average rating of 5. KBC 4 has got the maximum rating in the recent times for reality shows. Despite stiff competition from Big Boss on Colors, KBC broke all the records for Sony. The rating of KBC touched its peak in the 9.30 to 10 pm slot. The opening episode of this year saw cricket commentator Charu Sharma and Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, apart from a contestant, who was all smiles sitting on the hot seat. The contestant took home Rs 3, 20,000. Meanwhile, Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 4, telecast in the 9 pm to 10 pm slot recorded an average rating of 3.4 percent on Monday. The opening episode of Bigg Boss 4 on Oct 3, clashed with the Commonwealth Games (CWG) opening, but had still managed to grab eyeballs. But it couldn't sustain the competition from KBC. Says Ajit Thakur, Bussiness Head Sony, “We had a clean and entertaining content in our mind, with a strong conviction that families across the nation would prefer to watch it. I am very happy the show in its opening episode has done so well. I wish it continues.”
