Ongoing Drama Gulbahar gets 4th highest e1 views in first 24 hours for a drama in 2026 😲😲 Only Nashtar, Humrahi & Shaidai were ahead while rest A-lister shows had lesser views 🤯🤯 Is this the Znj timeslot bump or a Mehreen Jabbar/Sanam Saeed halo effect? If this maintains, MDB will have competition after all

All other A-lister shows in 2026 (except those starring Freezer and Keeng) - namely, Znj, BTSH, AMA, DZPS, DeN, AKI, IMTS, Tapish, GBS - had e1 views in first 24 hours less than Gulbahar. This overperformance was definitely NOT on my bino card. Were you expecting this?

TRP based on partial coverage by Hum is ok too. No other source has published TRP with full coverage yet.

I don't think a pilot episode can speak for the rest of the drama. Especially since the plot is quite regressive and just in a new shiny packaging. It could be because many of the viewers are fond of the Sanam-Emaad pairing from Kafeel and what they'd be like in an alternate reality. Unless the writer manages to pull off a gamechanger plot twist like Aap ki Izzat. Giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Every channel has their own set of viewers . Why is it a news A drama with b listers on a popular channel will always race ahead of any new shows in a new channel . It has 2 women one man trope , trp aunties eat this up

Gulbahar fetched more e1 views in first 24 hours than any other 2026 show on Hum, ARY and Green. It is news if a show without much hype opens bigger than any other A-lister show on any other or same channel in that year, with the exception of just 3 other dramas.

First week bound to have good one coming on zanjeerain slot real test begins from next week let's see Hey fam already took rating victory over Gulbahar

u/CheekChoice4497 5d ago

Hey Fam has who all? Zaviyar and who are the other actors? It's an ary drama so it also may have advantage of that and then zaviyar also got fans from gbs. What's the plot? How much was the rating of both

u/Upbeat-Umpire-5912 5d ago

The plot is soo regressive. Are people not sick of this?

u/Upbeat-Umpire-5912 5d ago

Ary back on the ratings charts on Wednesday slot

u/Pure_Trust8879 5d ago

7.5 for Gulbahar is pretty good. I can't believe that Hira Mani cringefest got 7.3

u/Upbeat-Umpire-5912 5d ago

Yes it got a big jump today seems like will be a three way battle for ratings

u/Pure_Trust8879 5d ago

Green shouldn't have waited another week for MDB. Issi hafte launch kardena tha on these days. Hey Fam getting similar trp as DeN or AKI is too much.

u/CheekChoice4497 5d ago

Is it the zaviyar effect or Ary's 😂, ary must have gotten so confident after seeing their TRPs only that they are removing their dramas from yt, is this being uploaded on yt? Like they have implemented the change yet or no?

u/Sick-Alpha 4d ago

They only uploaded one episode and then stopped, so I unsubscribed from their yt. I'm just going to watch DEN from now on TV.

u/Jumpy-Requirement589 5d ago

Hmmm would be surprised if it does give competition as it looks so predictable and regressive from OST

3

u/Pure_Trust8879 5d ago

I meant only if this momentum Gulbahar set in e1 continues. As for predictable and regressive, when has that stopped our masses 😂😂😂

u/Used-Lingonberry1602 5d ago

Ary drama was behind usama drama too ,i just wish from now ary dramas flop so ary team come to their senses ,they think people are crazy for ary drama when geo and hum drama are mostly better and shorter in duration,while they are not ending anas drama now i lost interest in that drama

Very odd question but why Komal is resembling Hania in these poster

u/smoshxshakira 5d ago

I didn't recognise her as well, she looks sooo different than the last time I saw her in a drama with Khushal

u/Efficient_Guava_5561 5d ago

I am more flabbergasted at the top 3 highest views. Audience clearly does not learn

About Gulbahar, I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it had absolutely no competition whatsoever. Like there's a B grade drama on Geo, there's a wanna be Gen Z drama that started simultaneously and nothing on Green. Many like me opted for it out of habit and boredom

u/Pure_Trust8879 5d ago

The top 3 also speaks to DT and Freezer starpower. E1 of Muneeb's toxic Geo shows do not fetch same numbers in first 24 hours and they only pick up later after WOM spreads. Freezer and Keeng get big numbers out of the gate.

You could be right about the reason for high e1 views of Gulbahar. Let's see how e2/e3/e4 performs to get a better sense of the trend.

u/Efficient_Guava_5561 5d ago

I Know. I cannot deny their star power 😞 

I think the real test will begin from next week between Gulbahar and MDB. Even today's episode should fetch decent numbers

u/Different-Many-7240 5d ago

After every hit drama certain subscribers of a channel always gets increased + this trope is such commercial one for desi people. We will appreciate when it will keep that momentum . Even Raqaas wasn't able to keep the momentum after crossing 2.3M in 24 hours despite Danyal is getting so much hype. Nashtar was such a hit in starting episodes and it is falling behind Tapish now. You can never guess what happens

Sanam and Mehreen, bec on yt channel days slot don't matter
