KKN Gurugram Desk | The TRP report for week 12 is out, and the results reflect a significant shift in the television landscape, primarily due to the ongoing IPL 2025 season. As the cricket season kicks into full swing, its effect on the TV ratings of various popular shows is evident. However, one show continues to dominate the TRP charts, and that is Rupali Ganguly’s “Anupamaa”. Despite the IPL’s influence on television viewership, Anupamaa holds firm at the number one spot with a solid TRP rating of 2.2. This article will delve into the TRP ratings for Week 12, the shows that have risen to the top, and those that have faced setbacks.

The Effect of IPL on TV Shows

With the start of IPL 2025, there has been a noticeable decline in the ratings of many popular TV shows, as cricket fans tune in to watch their favorite teams. As a result, several top-rated shows have seen a dip in viewership. The IPL’s presence has led to increased competition for traditional television programming, especially for shows that typically attract larger family audiences.

However, even with the cricket season dominating the TV ratings, shows like Anupamaa, Udhne Ki Asha Hai, and others have managed to maintain their audience interest and continue to show impressive ratings.

Anupamaa: The Undisputed Winner

Rupali Ganguly’s “Anupamaa” has once again taken the number one spot in the TRP charts, maintaining its strong position for another week. This show, which has captivated audiences with its compelling storylines and emotionally charged performances, has been an enduring favorite. In Week 12, the show earned a TRP rating of 2.2, which reflects its consistent popularity among viewers.

The latest track on Anupamaa, where Prem (the character) is sent to jail, has garnered significant attention. Fans have also been drawn to Anupamaa’s efforts to save her son-in-law by seeking the help of Raghav, adding more drama and intrigue to the storyline. These twists have kept the audience glued to the screen, contributing to the show’s continued success.

Despite the IPL’s influence on television viewership, Anupamaa has managed to hold its own and continues to reign at the top.

Udhne Ki Asha Hai: The Runner-Up

In second place, we have the drama-packed series “Udhne Ki Asha Hai”, which has been performing exceptionally well in recent weeks. The show, starring Neha Harsoora and Kanwar Dhillon, has been keeping its viewers entertained with its dramatic storylines. This week, the show has earned a TRP rating of 2.1, which is a significant achievement, especially considering the ongoing competition from cricket.

The show’s gripping narrative and emotional content have captured the audience’s attention, positioning it as a strong contender in the current TV programming lineup. It is clear that “Udhne Ki Asha Hai” is becoming a major competitor to “Anupamaa,” especially with its close TRP rating.

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: A Mixed Bag

Moving to third place, we have “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai”, a longstanding favorite among Indian television viewers. Despite a TRP rating of 2.0, the show has seen a slight dip in viewership this week. The loss of Rohit Purohit’s character in the show has affected its ratings, and there hasn’t been a significant improvement since the change in storyline.

However, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has maintained its place in the top five, and with potential new twists on the horizon, it’s possible that the show will regain its momentum in the coming weeks.

Advocate Anjali: A Rising Star

In fourth place, Advocate Anjali, a courtroom drama starring Shreetama Mitra, has made its mark with a TRP rating of 1.7. This show, which started in 2024, quickly gained traction with its gripping legal drama and has now reached the top five on the TRP charts. The show’s portrayal of courtroom battles and legal intricacies has resonated well with audiences, making it a popular choice for viewers interested in legal drama genres.

Mangal Laxmi: A Surprising Return

Another notable entry into the top five is Mangal Laxmi, which has re-entered the top five with a TRP rating of 1.7. The show, which had been absent from the top rankings for some time, has now regained a significant audience following. This resurgence demonstrates the show’s ability to maintain its appeal and adapt to new content trends.

Following closely behind, Jadoo Teri Nazar and Jhanak both hold a TRP rating of 1.6, securing the sixth and seventh positions, respectively.

Shows That Have Fallen Out of the Top 10

In the bottom half of the rankings, Mangal Laxmi and Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah have dropped out of the top 10 due to a TRP rating of 1.5. This marks a notable setback for Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, which has traditionally been a ratings powerhouse. It has now fallen to eighth and ninth positions in the rankings.

In tenth place, we have the Shiv Shakti Tap Tyag Tandav series, which managed to score a TRP rating of 1.2. Despite its loyal fanbase, this show has been unable to climb higher in the rankings.

Additionally, two other shows, Celebrity MasterChef and Laughter Chef 2 – Unlimited Entertainment, failed to make an impact on the TRP charts this week. Despite significant buzz on social media, these shows couldn’t achieve a higher ranking.

The Impact of IPL on TRP Ratings

The start of IPL 2025 has had a substantial effect on the TRP ratings of regular TV shows. With cricket dominating the prime-time television slots, many shows have experienced a drop in viewership. Sports events like IPL often compete for the same time slots as popular shows, making it challenging for non-sports programs to maintain high ratings.

However, some shows have managed to maintain their rankings despite the fierce competition from IPL. Anupamaa and Udhne Ki Asha Hai have shown resilience, and their performances prove that while IPL may dominate live sports ratings, quality entertainment still holds significant value for audiences.

The TRP Report for Week 12 reflects the changing dynamics of television ratings as the IPL season unfolds. While Anupamaa continues to dominate, shows like Udhne Ki Asha Hai, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, and Advocate Anjali are proving that strong storytelling and engaging characters can still capture the audience’s attention despite the allure of live sports.

As IPL 2025 progresses, it will be interesting to see how these shows continue to perform and whether others will manage to reclaim their positions in the top rankings. For now, Anupamaa remains the undisputed leader of the TRP charts, but the competition is fiercer than ever.
