The year 2026 comes with its own ups and downs with respect to the TV shows. There has been stiff competition at the top, with many shows having an upward swing in terms of ratings. The BARC India Ratings released today, 22 January 2026, look like this!! Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (Star Plus) stands tall as the No 1 show across GECs with a TVR of 2.3. Anupamaa (Star Plus) is 2nd with a close TVR of 2.2. Naagin 7 (Colors), which rated high with a TVR of 2.1 in its first two weeks, drops to 1.9 in its third week. Tumm Se Tumm Tak (Zee TV) sustains its position with a TVR of 1.9.
Udne Ki Aasha (Star Plus) gets a TVR of 1.8 and 1.6. Zee TV’s Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan drops a bit to get a TVR of 1.8. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (Star Plus) rises to fetch a TVR of 1.8. Zee TV’s Vasudha drops to 1.7 TVR. Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment (Coors TV) too drops to get a TVR of 1.7. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (Sony SAB) sees a big drop and gets a TVR of 1.5. Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki (Colors TV) has a TVR of 1.5. Jagadhatri (Zee TV) gets a TVR of 1.5. The newly launched Zee TV show Lakshmi Niwas opens with a good TVR of 1.4. Tu Juliet Jatt Di (Colors TV) gets a TVR of 1.4.
Aarti Anjali Awasthi (Star Plus) drops to a TVR of 1.3. Colors TV’s Mangal Lakshmi has a TVR of 1.3. Star Plus’ Jhanak moves up to take a TVR of 1.2. Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar (Colors TV) sees a drop and gets 1.2 TVR. Colors TV’s Mahadev & Sons drops when compared to its opening rating and gets a TVR of 1.1.
Colors TV’s Seher Hone Ko Hai sees a drop, and so does Zee TV’s Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile to be joint at a TVR of 1.0 along with Zee TV’s Saru and Jagriti Ek Nayi Subah.
Overall, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi ascertains its dominance this week too. Naagin 7 sees its first drop. Vasudha, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Aarti Anjali Awasthi are shows that got affected owing to the competition at individual time-slots. Mahadev & Sons needs to shoot up after showing a good opening, while Seher Hone Ko Hai could not sustain the good rise in the wedding week. Good signs for Jhanak, while Mangal Lakshmi, Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar and Saru need to do better.
