Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati premiered on Indian television on August 28 and in less than a month has changed the fortunes of Sony Entertainment Television (broadcaster).

The channel has moved up 2 notches ever since the quiz show aired – it soared from No.4 to 2. Here’s a lowdown on the steep upswing in ratings after KBC premiered.

It’s evident that between Week 34 and 35 (when KBC premiered), the ratings of Sony soared. What’s more is that the show’s performance only gets better week after week.

Goes without saying, Kaun Banega Crorepati continued its winning run and was the most-watched show on TV in Week 37 (September 9-15).

Zee TV’s Kumkum Bhagya and Khatron Ke Khiladi exchanged positions this time and were at No. 2 and 3 respectively. We wouldn’t be surprised if the latter comes back at the second place next week since it will include the ratings of the finale.

Amul Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs stood at No.4 while Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah occupied the 5th spot in the said week.

The surprise in Week 37 was Mahakali – Anth Hi Aarambh Hai. The show, which clinched the 7th position in Week 36 dropped to No.10. Has the track of the fantasy show plateaued?
