New Kannada serial 'Niharika' grabs top Weekday Primetime viewership

Pitched as a story that moves away from the usual 'kitchen drama', Kannada serial Niharika on Star Suvarna got 2.5 million viewers to tune in so far. Only few weeks after its launch, Niharika is the third most watched Kannada Primetime show for the Weekday 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM slot!

Zapr Media Labs takes a quick look at key success indicators such as loyalty, growth and viewing trends.

Our research shows that 30.3% of viewers who watched the launch episode continued watching the second episode on the very next day! That means almost 1/3 of the first episode's viewers enjoyed the show and came back to watch it again.
