Ready for the latest shakeups in the world of television ratings? The BARC India Ratings for Week 31, released on August 14, 2025, are here, and they’ve brought some major surprises.
Here’s the rundown of this week’s top-performing shows:
- Top Dog: Anupamaa (Star Plus) once again proves its dominance, holding the number one spot with a solid 2.2 TVR. This show continues to be the undisputed champion.
- Holding Strong: Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (Sony SAB) remains a fan favorite, securing the second position with a 2.0 TVR, despite a slight dip in ratings.
- The Big Drop: Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (Star Plus) faced a significant setback, falling to a 1.9 TVR. Meanwhile, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (Star Plus) is struggling to gain momentum, maintaining its 1.8 TVR from last week.
- Holding Steady: Udne Ki Aasha (Star Plus) is soaring with a 1.7 TVR, while Tum Se Tum Tak (Zee TV) saw a small dip, landing at 1.6 TVR.
- Struggling to Rise: It was a tough week for Colors TV, with both Mangal Lakshmi and Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar taking a considerable hit, dropping to a 1.4 TVR. Aarti Anjali Awasthi (Star Plus) also saw a dip, coming in at a 1.3 TVR.
- Staying Afloat: Several shows are clustered at the 1.2 TVR mark, including Colors TV’s Shiv Shakti Tap Tyaag Tandav and Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki.
The biggest story this week is the ripple effect of Zee TV’s programming changes. Their decision to shuffle time slots for the reality show Chhoriyan Chali Gaon has taken a toll on many of their well-rated fiction shows, including a major drop for Vasudha and drops for Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile and Kumkum Bhagya.
Meanwhile, new reality shows like Colors TV’s Manpasand Ki Shaadi opened with a modest 0.9 TVR, and Pati Patni aur Panga also saw a significant drop. Clearly, these new shows have their work cut out for them if they want to make a lasting impression.
