Lead

After days of anticipation, the BARC TRP ratings for week 52 are finally out. Owing to New Year holiday, the ratings have been released on Friday instead of Thursday. The top 5 chart for week 52 has seen quite a few changes and serial buffs are waiting eagerly for the BARC/TRP rating of their favourite television shows. While Colors TV's popular supernatural soap Naagin 3 has lost its glorious numero uno spot for the second consecutive week, Sony TV’s much-loved singing reality show Indian Idol has kept the viewers hooked onto their television sets throughout the week. Surprisingly, Yeh Rishta Kaya Kehlata Hai, one of the most sought after shows of Star Plus is ousted from the top 5 chart in week 52. The rankings are based on the urban viewership combined across all original airings in the week during the prime time starting from 6 pm to 11:30 pm. Without any further elaboration, now let's have a quick look at the top 5 chart of your favourite television shows.

Indian Idol

Indian Idol: Days long wait has come to an end, as Sony TV's most talked-about singing reality show has finally crowned its season 10 winner on December 23. Salman Ali, a native from Haryana has bagged the coveted winner's trophy of Indian Idol 10. The season 10 is a bit more special, as it has witnessed singer Neha Kakkar in the honourable judges' panel. Neha's appearance is significant as she had previously rocked the show as a participant. Apart from Neha, the singing reality had legends like Javed Ali and Vishal Dadlani in its judges’ panel.

Naagin 3

Naagin 3: ColorsTV's popular supernatural soap has lost its throne this week as well and is featured at the second spot in week 52. Featuring 'Qubool Hai' actress Surbhi Jyoti as the protagonist, the new season first hit the screens on June 2 and has telecast some nail-biting episodes to woo its audiences again and again.

Kundali Bhagya

Kundali Bhagya: Featuring Dheeraj Dhoopar and Shraddha Arya in pivotal roles, the popular Zee TV show has retained the third spot, it claimed in week 51. The Ekta Kapoor show, which is a spin-off of another Zee TV soap Kumkum Bhagya, has not lost its charm even after completing a year in July, 2018.

Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma: After a week of absence, the Sony Sub show has entered the top 5 chart in week 52. The sitcom has bagged the number 4 spot in the current week and has been entertaining the viewers with its rib-tickling episodes.

Kumkum Bhagya

Kumkum Bhagya: Zee TV is simply dominating the BARC rating chart and cannot stop gushing over the success of its daily soaps. Starring Sriti Jha and Shabbir Aluwali in the lead role, the popular daily soap has been awarded with number 5 rank in week 52. The dramatic plot and a series of unexpected twists helped the soap win over hearts of millions.
