According to the report, Bigg Boss Season 19 garnered 7.8 million OTT views last week, securing the top spot. Ashneer Grover’s Rise and Fall ranked second with 4.9 million views. Amitabh Bachchan–hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 claimed third place with 2.8 million views, overtaking Kapil Sharma’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, which registered 1.7 million views on Netflix. Rounding out the top five was Pati Patni Aur Panga, hosted by Munawar Faruqui and Sonali Bendre, with 1.4 million views.

Earlier, in an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, Ashneer Grover had spoken about Rise and Fall’s comparison to Bigg Boss and the Traitors. He said, “There is no fear, it’s a free market, and it’s up to the people to accept it or not. If people are going to see the show for a certain purpose, they will slot you in a certain box. If this reality format, people will club it and compare it to Bigg Boss, which has been around for 19 years, and the Traitors that came a year back. Let there be comparisons, even if they do so; it’s not like the show will shut down, so you have to take it in your stride. One thing I have picked up from Salman and Karan Johar as a host is that you have to watch the show, you can’t be a part of the show, and only go by what is being told to you; you have to watch the show yourself.”

Both Bigg Boss and Rise and Fall have been produced by Banijay Asia. Talking about the shows, Banijay Asia Group CEO Deepak Dhar said, “Bigg Boss 19 continues to be the gold standard of entertainment with its enduring power, while Rise and Fall shows the appetite for bold, new formats. This double success is a testament to our vision of creating content that entertains, innovates, and resonates across audiences. And we’re only just getting started.”

Bigg Boss 19 premiered on August 24 and streams on JioHotstar at 9 pm., followed by its television telecast on Colors TV at 10:30 pm, airing daily from Monday to Sunday. Rise and Fall launched on September 6 and is available on Amazon MX Player at 12 pm, with its TV broadcast on Sony at 10:30 pm. every day of the week.
