Aryan Khan’s The Ba**ds Of Bollywood* Sees Growth
Aryan Khan’s new venture The Bads Of Bollywood* is creating buzz in the Bollywood and music content space. One headline grabbing moment: the revival of the 1997 hit “Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela” from the film Gupt, which has been reinterpreted as part of The Bads Of Bollywood*. Director Rajeev Rai credits Aryan Khan for helping this retro track make a “triumphant return” on music charts and streaming playlists. The Times of India
What’s fueling this growth?
-
Nostalgia plus novelty: The show leverages classic Bollywood hits familiar to older audiences and repackages them with modern sounds, appealing also to younger viewers.
-
Star power and curiosity: Aryan Khan’s name naturally draws media attention. Audiences are curious how he handles a format blending old-school Bollywood with new content styles.
-
Digital & OTT traction: Music streaming platforms and social media shares (reels, shorts, reels with the revived retro song) are helping spread its reach.
So, The Ba**ds Of Bollywood growth* is not just about numbers; it’s about bridging generations, tapping into retro culture, and getting music lovers talking again.
Signs of Decline: Saiyaara, Bigg Boss 19, and Rise & Fall
While The Ba**ds Of Bollywood* rides high, other popular shows and songs are showing cracks. Let’s see what’s going on with Saiyaara, Bigg Boss 19, and Ashneer Grover’s Rise & Fall.
1. Saiyaara
Saiyaara, a Bollywood track that once ruled playlists, is seeing reduced traction. Streaming counts and playlist placements are dropping, suggesting listener fatigue or competition from newer songs. The decline is also tied to how fast listeners now rotate through songs; newer tracks with bigger promotional pushes are overtaking older ones.
2. Bigg Boss 19 (Salman Khan)
The Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 19 is facing trouble with ratings:
-
As per recent TRP reports, Bigg Boss 19 failed to secure a position in the Top 10 in Week 34 and Week 35. The Indian Express+2The Indian Express+2
-
Shows like Anupamaa, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai still dominate viewership. The Indian Express+1
-
Though Bigg Boss 19 has big names and controversy (a usual strategy to pull viewers), this season’s large cast and drama aren’t translating into stable ratings. The Indian Express+1
Possible reasons:
-
Viewers are fatigued by repetitive reality-show formats.
-
Competing shows (TV dramas) are delivering stronger emotional connect.
-
The novelty factor of reality shows is waning unless there’s something very fresh.
3. Rise & Fall by Ashneer Grover
Ashneer Grover’s Rise & Fall was launched on Sept 6, 2025, on Amazon MX Player and Sony TV, with much hype. The concept divides contestants into “Rulers” and “Workers,” testing strategy, power dynamics, and social competition. Gadgets 360+2Hindustan Times+2
However, some signs show the initial spark may be cooling:
-
The show is getting scrutiny for being dramatic for drama’s sake rather than meaningful content.
-
Comparisons with Bigg Boss are inevitable, and some critics feel Rise & Fall is trying too hard to mimic reality show tropes rather than offer originality. Ashneer himself said in an interview: “I’m not here to be a clone… people should watch episodes themselves, don’t go by comparisons.” The Indian Express
-
Early responses and media chatter suggest that while the format is strong, retention might be challenging unless contestants and storylines hit a deeper chord with the audience.
What This All Says
In entertainment, momentum shifts quickly. The Ba**ds Of Bollywood growth* shows how a fresh mix of nostalgia + novelty + star power works. Meanwhile, Saiyaara, Bigg Boss 19, and Rise & Fall illustrate that popularity can slip when content, format, or execution don’t stay ahead of audience expectations.
Producers may need to innovate the format, keep promotional engines running, or ensure storytelling and contestant dynamics are strong to hold attention.
