TRP Race Week 1: KSBKBT 2, Naagin 7, Anupamaa Dominate Chart, THIS Big Show OUT Of Top 10

BARC

India has finally unveiled its Week 1 television ratings after a brief delay, and the latestTRP chart shows shifting of preference across different genres. While legacy shows continue to dominate the upper ranks, newer entries and returning favourites have also made noticeable gains. However, it is also clear by the rankings that established TV shows cannot just run on reputation and as soon as the plot slips, fans are quick to change the channel. Another noticeable pattern is that reality shows are only working if they are funny and relatable. Once among the highest TRP getters, both Mangal Lakshmi (at number 14) and Lakshmi Ka Safar (at number 17) are out of Top 10 list.
