Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs and Khatron Ke Khiladi are at the first and second spot respectively.
The Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) ratings for week 32 are here. As per the data provided by BARC, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs continued to top the charts. While Khatron Ke Khiladi maintained its place in the second spot, Shakti rose up on the list to take up the third position. As for GECs, Star Plus toppled Colors to emerge as the numero uno channel in the urban market.
Zee TV continued to sit comfortably in the third position with its show Kundali Bhagya doing wonders on the listing. Interestingly, this spin-off did well compared to its original show Kumkum Bhagya. While Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Dance Plus 3 once again managed to pump numbers for Star Plus, comedy drama Taraak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah once again got a spot in the top 5 shows.
Horror show Fear Files and mythological drama Mahakali opened to great numbers but dropped down in the charts with time. The Kapil Sharma Show also took an exit from the Top 20 shows.
