BARC Ratings Week 45: Naagin 2, Shakti And Udaan Clinch The Top Three Spots As Colors Stands Unthreatened At No 1
BARC Rating for the week ended 11th November has declared Naagin 2 as the clear ratings leader in the cumulative and urban rankings. In fact, Naagin 2 is such a hit that its predecessor Naagin not only dominates the rural rankings but also features at 4th position in the cumulative rating. It is the success of Naagin that has led to an influx of mythological and supernatural shows across channels. I am not a big fan of this trend so let’s see how long Naagin stays put at no 1. Meanwhile, Colors Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki and Udaan follow Naagin 2 in the urban rankings.
With three of its shows taking the top three ranks, Colors stands firm at number 1 rank in cumulative and urban ranking.
