The much-hyped Amitabh Bachchan starrer mega television series Yudh, opened to dismal ratings, despite Big B’s tag on it.
Created by Anurag Kashyap and directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, the show that marked the debut of Big B in the fictional scene first aired a fortnight ago and received a lukewarm response of 0.7 Television Viewership Rating last Monday and closed the week at a low 0.6.The average rating for the first week of Amitabh Bachchan’s Yudh stood at 1.6 TVM, reported Bollywood Life.
Yudh, which is considered the most expensive fiction show made for Indian television with each episode costing around INR 30 million, is a 20-episode show, revolving around a real-estate baron who is tackling business rivalries and dealing with his neurological disorder.
Indian audiences openly embraced the idea of different storylines offered by Pakistani dramas as a fresh breeze of air from the typical saas-bahu dramas. But the moderate response to a show with a stellar cast has confirmed that mere big names don’t count.
