It's interesting that Star continues to lead the market for the second week in a row. Its soaps seem to be giving it traction: Pratigya with a peak 5.7 TVR is the top show amongst GECs, Bidayi (4.5), Yeh Rishta Kya Kehalata Hain (4.4) and Sabki Laadli Bebo (4) while celebrity dance show Zara Nachke Dikha with a peak TVR of 2.8 is adding numbers. Totally, Star Plus prime time GRPs was 131. Its weekend prime time GRPs dropped last week from 46 to 41 while its afternoon block GRPs at 32 were almost twice as much as its rivals.
Colors seems to be getting some buoyancy from its soaps and from its weekend band. Its prime time shows generated 125 GRPs lower than Zee TV's 129. Uttaran ( peak TVR of 5.1), Laagi Tujse Lagan (4.3), Na Aana is des Laaddo (4.2), Baalika Vadhu (3.6), Maa Tujhe Pranam (3) and Bairi Piya (2.7) were its winners. Colors did exceptionally well on its weekend with 39 GRPs (22 last week) as against 24 for Zee TV.
