Sunil Grover's Absence Has Affected The Kapil Sharma Show's Rating So Badly

Darpan News Desk IANS, 01 Apr, 2017 12:55 PM
  • Sunil Grover's Absence Has Affected The Kapil Sharma Show's Rating So Badly
The Kapil Sharma Show has witnessed a steep fall in week 12 (March 18-24), according to a data released by BARC. 
 
In week 12, the show has witnessed around 5.3 million impressions in comparison to 6 million impressions during the last week. There’s more. The show is out of the top 10 Indian TV shows ranking. 
 
It now stands at number 11. 
 
The top five shows include – Naagin Season 2, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kumkum Bhagya, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and Shani.
 
In the last week, The Kapil Sharma Show had secured a fourth place behind only Naagin Season 2, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kumkum Bhagya and Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. During the last three months of 2017, the show has been able to maintain a healthy 6.4 million impressions.
 
 
The show also saw a huge plummet in YouTube viewings. The last episode of March titled – Stand Up Comedians In Kapil’s Show, saw around 3,984,158 YouTube views, which is quite low in comparison to its previous episodes. What’s more stark is the number of dislikes on the episode.
 
It recorded a staggering 117,705 dislikes in comparison to only 28,029 likes on the same episode. These figures suggest a huge shift in the mood of the audience.
 
In the absence of popular actors Sunil Grover, Ali Asgar and Chandan Prabhakar, the show is certainly losing its charm if not an essence.
