The viewers certainly like the story and the performance of the child artists. In a matter of two weeks, 'Tere Liye' is finds itself shoulder to shoulder with the slot leader 'Uttaran' and threatens to topple it next week. Both the shows clocked a peak TVR of 4.2, but 'Uttaran' is ranked just above 'Tere Liye' as it registered the 4.2 TVR on two occasions, according to the TAM data week 26 (June 20-26).
The Colors show 'Uttaran' opened the week with a TVR of 4.2 as opposed to the 4.0 by 'Tere Liye'. The latter got 4.1 on Tuesday while 'Uttaran' fetched a TVR of 4.0 It was all square on Wednesday with both shows clocking 4.2 TVR. However, 'Tere Liye' had its nose ahead of its rival on Thursday and Friday with a TVR of 3.8 and 3.5 respectively. 'Uttaran' managed 3.5 and 3.2 respectively on Thursday and Friday.
The picture looks clear. Viewers have an alternative to 'Uttaran' at the 10.00 pm slot. Colors will hope to add more spice to 'Uttaran' in order to keep its head above rival 'Tere Liye'. That will have to happen soon because once Harshad Chopda appears regularly; there simply will be no competition.
One person who will savour this success will be producer Ekta Kapoor, who could gain supremacy at the slot that was very much hers during the days of 'Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki'.
