BARC Ratings For Week 41: Naagin 2 Dethrones Brahmarakshas To Claim Its No 1 Spot
BARC ratings for week 41 is here and we have a new TRP leader. Even though STAR Plus continues to be the number 1 channel, the cumulative score of Urban and Rural ranking lists Color’s Naagin season 2 as the most popular show on television, whereas Naagin season 1 is leading the charts in the rural ratings. Meanwhile, Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, another Colors show, occupied the second spot not only in combined but also in Urban ratings.
Last week, Colors launched its most popular reality show Bigg Boss season 10 and the channel seems to be doing everything to ensure a successful season. Let’s wait and see if Bigg Boss surprises us in any way.
