KKN Gurugram Desk | The much-anticipated BARC TRP Report for Week 16 (2025) is out, and this week’s rankings bring with them some major surprises. While ‘Uddne Ki Aasha’ has claimed the No. 1 spot with an impressive jump, fan-favorite shows like ‘Anupamaa’ and ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ (YRKKH) have witnessed a significant dip in ratings. Comedy giants like ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ and new entries such as ‘Laughter Chefs 2’ have also lost momentum. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the top 10 Hindi television shows this week.
The Kanwar Dhillon and Neha Harsora starrer ‘Uddne Ki Aasha’ has climbed to the top spot, gaining traction due to its unexpected plot twist. The chemistry between leads Sachin and Sayli has become a major highlight, contributing to the show’s rising popularity. The show garnered 1.9 million impressions, making it the highest-rated Hindi serial this week.
After weeks of leading the charts, ‘Anupamaa’, starring Rupali Ganguly, slipped to the second position. The current storyline revolves around Anupamaa and Raghav’s evolving relationship, which hasn’t resonated well with viewers. Many fans on social media expressed that the plot lacks the emotional depth the show is known for.
The long-running soap opera ‘YRKKH’ continues to undergo massive narrative shifts. With the deaths of Rohit and Shivani and a new pregnancy track involving Ruhi, Abhira, and Armaan, the drama quotient remains high. However, despite the high stakes, the show fell to third place with a 1.7 TRP rating.
‘Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar’, starring Deepika Singh and Naman Shaw, held its ground and maintained its position in the top 5. With strong character arcs and family-oriented themes, the show’s consistent performance with 1.7 ratings reflects its strong connect with traditional viewers.
The supernatural thriller ‘Jadu Teri Nazar’, featuring Zain Ibad Khan and Khushi Dubey, continues to surprise with its solid ratings. With a unique blend of fantasy, mystery, and romance, the show earned a 1.6 rating, securing the fifth position in the list.
| Rank | Show Name | TRP |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | Advocate Anjali Awasthi | 1.5 |
| 7 | Mangal Lakshmi (re-run/2nd airing) | 1.4 |
| 8 | Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah | 1.3 |
| 9 | Jhanak | 1.3 |
| 10 | Laughter Chefs 2 | 1.3 |
The drop in TRP for both Anupamaa and YRKKH suggests viewer fatigue with ongoing tracks. While Anupamaa’s emotional angle seems repetitive, YRKKH’s dramatic twists are starting to feel overstretched. Both shows might need creative overhauls or fresh character arcs to regain their top positions.
Despite being one of India’s longest-running sitcoms, TMKOC has dropped to the eighth spot with 1.3 rating. Fans have repeatedly pointed out the lack of novelty and slow screenplay. However, loyal audiences and nostalgic value continue to keep it in the top 10.
With shows like Jadu Teri Nazar and Advocate Anjali Awasthi climbing up the ranks, there’s a clear trend that viewers are drawn to genres beyond saas-bahu sagas. Supernatural thrillers and courtroom dramas are providing much-needed genre diversity.
Laughter Chefs 2, despite initial excitement, managed only 1.3 TRP, placing it last in the top 10. While the mix of food and comedy appealed in the beginning, viewer interest seems to be waning. The makers might need to introduce new elements or guest appearances to revive the momentum.
| Show | Week 15 TRP | Week 16 TRP | Trend |

| Uddne Ki Aasha | 1.6 | 1.9 | ⬆️ Rising |

Week 16 of 2025 reveals a dynamic TRP chart where new-age storytelling, chemistry-driven narratives, and genre experimentation are slowly replacing traditional family dramas at the top. While legacy shows like Anupamaa, YRKKH, and TMKOC still hold ground, the rise of Uddne Ki Aasha and Jadu Teri Nazar signals a shift in audience preferences.
