BIGG BOSS 4 opening surpasses BIGG BOSS 3, 2 & 1: TAM

BIGG BOSS Season 4 with host Salman Khan opened with 6.0 TVR, records the reach of 20.3 and Time Spent of 55 minutes according to TAM amongst three metros. The show that was launched on Sunday, 3rd October, 2010 touched a peak TVR of 9.15 at 10.04 PM.

This is phenomenal when compared to the opening ratings of Bigg Boss 3. The Last season of BIGG BOSS Season 3 with Host Amitabh Bachchan had a TVR of 5.4 and Time Spent of 47 minutes. Last year, even after having Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan anchoring the third season of reality show Bigg Boss on Colors, data from aMap, the overnight ratings agency, showed that the launch episode aired on October 4 generated an average television rating point (TRP) of just 3.

Salman Khan seems to have a better connect with the audience and is able to relate to them at a greater level, which is evident from the TVR. More than Amitabh Bachchan, Khan is able to work his charm on the masses. This is also because, unlike Bachchan, Khan has a mass appeal and can connect with the common man. There was a lot of media frenzy created and Bigg Boss 4 was marketed at a large scale, Khan proved to everyone's expectations and has delivered more than what was expected out of him. Now as the season continues, Khan will go on to break many more records with his magic.

The Housemates this season are actor Ashmit Patel, Pakistani actress cum reporter Veena Malik, Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul Bhatt, Mohd Kasab's lawyer Abbaz Kazmi, dacoit Seema Parihar, popular television actress Shweta Tiwari, Sakshi Pradhan of MTV Splitsvilla fame, anchor Nawazish Ali Begum, television actress Sara Khan, Bhojpuri film actor Manoj Tiwari, television actor Sameer Soni, models Hrishant Goswami and Aanchal Kumar.
