Imagine TV's Swayamvar seems to be losing its charm. Ratan Ka Rishta -
the third season recorded the lowest ever ratings for the debut episode
of the show, while Sony TV's romantic drama Bade Achche Lagte Hain
emerged a winner when both shows hit the small screen the same day.
Both shows went on air Monday, but at different time slots.
Bade Achche Lagte Hain, which has brought back two of Indian
television's best known faces - Sakshi Tanwar and Ram Kapoor, back to
the tube, garnered a television rating point (TRP) of 1.5. While the
third season of Swayamvar on Imagine TV lagged behind with a 1.2 rating,
according to data provided by audience measurement agency aMap.
This is the worst ever rating for the Swayamvar, where a celebrity gets to choose his or her life partner.
The first episode of the first season of Rakhi Ka Swayamvar,
featuring controversy queen Rakhi Sawant as the prospective bride,
mamaged a record-breaking TRP of 3.5 for Imagine TV. And the debut
episode of the second season Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jaayega with Rahul
Mahajan got a 2.4 rating.
It is possible that the non-controversial nature of Ratan, popular
for her show Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, has led to this drastic dip
in the TRPs. The first episode of the show, which aired 8 p.m., saw the
introduction of the 16 prospective grooms.
Bade Achche Lagte Hain, which was aired at 10:30 p.m. on Sony, was
quite simple in its execution - and seemed to be a fresh offering from
TV tsarina Ekta Kapoor. A romantic saga of two individuals - a business
tycoon in his late 40s and a working woman in her late 30s, the show
explores love after marriage.
