Social media is screaming that Ashneer Grover’s Rise and Fall has officially dethroned Bigg Boss 19. Sounds spicy, right? But hold your popcorn—because the real TRP game is way trickier. Yes, Rise and Fall is winning hearts on OTT and now even airs on TV at 10:30 PM on Sony. But here’s the catch: Sony TV doesn’t exactly dominate the TRP charts. That’s why even with all the hype, the show faces an uphill battle against Bigg Boss 19, which enjoys the Colors advantage.
Bigg Boss 19: Not the TRP King, But Still the Noise-Maker
Truth bomb—Bigg Boss 19 is not smashing TRP records. Last week, it clocked 1.2 TVR and ranked 12th. Mid-table at best. But here’s where it wins: controversy. Every shouting match, every broken friendship, every Salman Khan roast instantly trends on social media. The show may not dominate TRPs, but it dominates conversations. And in today’s entertainment economy, buzz is currency.
Rise and Fall: Fresh Format, Weak Channel
Rise and Fall is the cool new challenger—less drama, more gameplay. Strategy, survival, alliances—it’s tailor-made for audiences who are bored of daily screaming matches. On OTT, it’s thriving. But on TV, it faces the Sony problem. Let’s be honest: Sony TV isn’t known for high TRP shows lately. It’s not that people don’t like the content—it’s just that Colors, Star Plus, and Zee dominate the mass audience. So no matter how strong Rise and Fall’s content is, breaking into the top TRP rankings from Sony’s platform is like trying to win a race with a flat tire.
The Platform Power Game: Colors vs Sony
This battle isn’t just about the shows—it’s about the channels. Bigg Boss 19 benefits from Colors’ established viewership base and prime-time loyalty. Rise and Fall is stuck with Sony’s weaker reach and a late-night slot (10:30 PM isn’t exactly family prime time). That’s why even with OTT hype, Rise and Fall may struggle to match Bigg Boss in raw TRPs.
Who’s Really Winning?
- Bigg Boss 19: Weak TRPs, but massive online buzz. A controversy machine that stays in the headlines.
- Rise and Fall: Strong OTT following, smarter format, but handicapped on Sony TV.
So, has Rise and Fall beaten Bigg Boss 19 in TRPs? Not yet—and realistically, it’s tough. But can it steal the hype crown and build a loyal cult following? That’s already happening.
At the end of the day, Colors hands Bigg Boss the reach, Sony hands Rise and Fall the hurdles, and OTT hands it the hype. The clash isn’t just between two reality shows—it’s a showdown of platforms. And the real verdict? We’ll know next Thursday, when the TRP charts drop for both.
Rise and Fall vs Bigg Boss 19: Week 36 TRP Numbers Seal the Deal
Week 36 ratings are in, and the verdict is crystal clear—Rise and Fall has been thoroughly outpaced. Despite all the digital buzz, the show finds itself stuck at the very bottom, ranked #40 with just 0.1 TVR. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 19 continues to flex its dominance, landing at #9 with a solid 1.4 TVR. The gap isn’t just wide, it’s embarrassing. Online chatter might give Rise and Fall a sense of relevance, but when it comes to actual TV viewership, Bigg Boss is miles ahead. Love it or hate it, the drama factory on Colors is still pulling in the eyeballs that Sony simply isn’t.
