BARC Ratings Week 50: Naagin Naagin Everywhere As Season 1 And 2 Lead Ratings Race
As if Naagin 2 wasn’t popular enough that Naagin 1 had to rise to rank 2 in cumulative ratings. Meanwhile, Naagin 2 came in at rank 3 in rural rankings. This makes me wonder about people’s obsession with supernatural drama. The Kapil Sharma Show stood at rank 3 in urban rankings. You see, considering the success of his show I am not really surprised that the man has made it the Forbes richest celebrity list, while Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki has returned in at rank 5 in both combined and urban rankings.
Channel rankings have remained more or less the same with Star Plus still being the number 1 Hindi channel however, the impression points between Star Plus and Colors has reduced considerably and do not be surprised to see a new channel leader in the new year.
