Iknw they used to get 3.5lakh impressions but others such as zee anmol star utsav used to get 7lac nd rishtey sony pal used to get 4to 5 lac which is way higher than 3.5 lac plus this channels is on freedish nd now on freedish there are very less options available so obiviously ppl will watch dangal in anyway nd abt todays shows they are available on paychannels ppl always tends towards things which are free thats y dd freedish channels tops charts but that doesnt mean they have good content
Please read my post again bro, i have answered ur question in detailed manner. If content was bad they would have flopped long ago, also ur assessment of Dangal being flop bcoz FTA channels of big broadcasters were getting much more ratings during presence of Free Dish is not right way to look at this. Dangal had sizeable viewership and exit of biggies has expanded its share which is quite common thing to happen
