The launch of Colors' new fiction Shastri Sisters' was lackluster, according to exclusive data obtained by BizAsia.
The new show, which replaced Madhubala' in the weekday 20:30 band pulled in 8,100 viewers. It is worth adding that the slot had been delivering a near-zero rating over the past few days and Shastri Sisters' launch has certainly picked the slot up again. It will be interesting to see how the slot develops in the coming days. Madhubala', which has been shifted to 19:00 could only muster in an average 200 viewers. The most watched show on the channel was Uttaran' with 21,500 viewers at 22:00, followed by Rangrasiya' with 10,900 viewers and Sasural Simar Ka' at 19:30 with 8,900 viewers.
