Declining TRPs Raise Concerns for Kapil Sharma's Show Popularity

The Great Indian Kapil Show recently returned for the second season. The first season premiere of the show featured Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, while the second season premiere featured Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Vedang Raina and Vasan Bala as guests. They were promoting their upcoming film Zirgra. However, it seems that the episode was not as impressive as the last season's Ranbir episode. According to Netflix's Global Top 10 list, The Great Indian Kapil Show, which premiered on September 22, ranked eighth in the non-English TV list last week with 1.2 million views and 1.4 million viewing hours. This is half the number of views received by the premiere of the Ranbir Kapoor episode, which made it to the top three with 2.4 million viewers.

The falling numbers

The first season saw a surge in viewership after the first episode The show slipped to the fifth spot in the second week of the first season The third week featured the cast of Diljit Dosanjh's Amar Singh Chamkila However, that too did not work its magic and the show slipped to the seventh spot with 1.7 million views During the first season, the show featured several celebrities including Vicky Kaushal-Sunny Kaushal, Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol-Bobby Deol, Ed Sheeran, Anil Kapoor-Farah Khan, Janhvi Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao, Sania Mirza-Mary Kom and the entire cast of Heeramandi Despite the falling numbers, the makers of the show hosted a success party at the end of the fourth week At the party, the entire cast and crew including Kapil Sharma, Archana Puran Singh and Sunil Grover gathered to celebrate the achievement of being available in 192 countries Notably, the show has been witnessing a steady decline in TRPs with the start of the new season Despite the arrival of big stars like Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar, the episode was seen as a huge success after the first season premiere with Ranbir Kapoor It got only half the views as compared to 2016. This drop shows that the audience's interest in the show is slowly waning.

Shared a new promo 

Next week, the show will feature the Deewana team - Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor This will be Jr NTR's second appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, earlier he had debuted on the show two years ago during the promotions of RRR At that time, the show aired on Sony Entertainment Television Ahead of the premiere of the second episode, the makers of the show released a few teasers featuring Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor In one of the promo videos, Jr NTR can be seen talking to Kapil Sharma in Hindi. He says, "Mujhe 5 min se lag raha hai aap mujhe baithayenge...ya aise hi?" Kapil Sharma quickly asks the actor to sit down Kapil then asks Jr NTR, "Who is your favourite actress from the North?", the actor says, "Always Sridevi." However, Saif Ali Khan stops him and says, "Sridevi was the answer to the South for me"
